The .4coutsttion of Riches.

The .4cguisition Of Riches. The fol-

journals in the country.
Solomon says that 'he who maketIl

hath an evil eye and considercth not

Perhaps no other proverbs uttered by

currences in this community have been
rife with illustrations of their unerring
truth. Diligen honest industry, with
prudence in the qualification of our

gentleman of New York arrived at the
fremont house "A day or two ago, on
his way to Lowell, and while in the
city had occasion TO exchange some
money. He placed the bills in his
vest pocket and took the cars for Low
ell. When he reached there he dis
covered that he had lost five hundred
dollar bill. The loss seemed irrepar.
able, and he abandoned all hope ofre-
covering the money. The gentleman
returned from Lowell and was not a
little surprised to learn that Metho-
dist clergyman, the Rev. r. G. Pierce,
had been put in possession ofhis mon
ey. bv an honest orange seller named
Connell, at the Lowell depot, who had
found il there, the gentleman having
dropped it while procuring ticket
for the cars. The first thing he did
upon getting his money back, was to
present Council with fifty dollars, and
he assured Connell beside. that if he
he was ever thrown out of employment
he would always find friend ready to

aloud for mercy: ~
"Grace pour moi! Grace! Ayez p,.ie de

In vain did the miserable man implore
for pity with uplifted.h hands. He saw that
there was no hope: and, suddenly star

seen his intention, caught himty the coat

since, he arrived in Montgomery, where
his remarkable performances excited much

While here, he occupied the large brick

much persuasion, assenteL; and all the

made.
On the night of the llth, the guilty fe-
male, with such baggage as she could con-

Silk Culture and pery Superior SIX

neislbor, Mrs. Sumter,rnow have large
quantity of eggs, from these worms, to
dispose Of. Hero then is on opportunity
to procure eggs Of the best quality by per-
sons wishing to commence the silk cul-
ture. Of eggs procured Immediately, en-
ougl would probably hatch, the present
season, for a Grst experiment, whilst the
greater number would'not hatch till next
spring. Mrs. Spann might be addressed
on The subjec. at SumterviIle.-Or il orders
were left with us, We would take pleasure
in forwarding them. Only the largest

The eggs fr m which these worms sprang
were carefully selected in France and Italy

persons, who have not tried it, apprehend

it,be expedient to abolish slavery In the
District of Columbia?" .
"In the event Of your election, should
a bill to abolish slavery in the District OF
Columbia pass Congress, would it receive
your sanction?"
Now, these were very plain questions,
easily answered by an honest man who
iatends no imposition, and yet General
Harrison refuses to answer. His friends
IN the South may say orc thing, and ap-
peal to his speech made at Vincennes,
While his friends in the non slaveholding
states know another. How different has

March of the present year, q letter from
Virginia was addressed to him upon this
subject, to which he replies on the 26th
Of the same: .Ihaue received your letter

newed assurances of his determination to
preserve inviolate this species of our pro-
perty. There is no concealmeht--thore
is no equivocation-but sentiment can
didly and fully expressed and published to
the world.
But there is other public evidence of
his sincerity upon this subject. My fel-
low citizens will remember, that bill was
introduced in the Senate to prevent the
transportation by mail of anti-slavery
pamphlets, books, newspapers, &C.
This bill came before the Senate on the
question, aShall this bill be engrossed and
