APHORISMS.


1.-THE young are slaves to novelty-the old
to custom.
Men often go from love to ambition; but
seldom return from ambition to love.
Envy cannot exist in perfection, without
a secret esteem of the person env;ed.
Unjust resentment is always the fercest.
True love is more frequentthan true friend
ship.
The love that increases by degrees is so
like friendship, that it can never be violent.
The beginning of love is in the power of
every one; to put an end 10 it, in the power
OF. none.
Ingratitude is of all sins we in ourselves
account most venial; in others the most I'M
pardonable.
The injuries we do, and those we suffer,
are seldom weighed in the same balance.
Men generally put greater value upon
the favors they bestow, than upon those they
receive.
A man will lay hold of any pretext to lay
his fault upon another.
Nothing is more easy than to do mischiefs
nothing more difficult than to suffer without
complaining.
To laugh at men of humor, is the serious
bIockhead.'

From thu N. o. CommercioI Bulle,in !

From the NJ y. Commercial Buetin1
The present rate of exchange, and the
difficulty Of transmitting funds from one
point to another in the Union, is one among
the melancholy results flowing from the RE
diculOus and absurd experiments upon the
currency, which have been in progress for
the last ten years. If the different members
of the American confederacy were separate
and distinct States, the costs of exchange
would not be greater than it is now. Thus.
1t will be perceived, that one of the main
benefits contemplated in the act of confede-
ration is lost, and bond of the Union. pow
ertui in influence, dissolved. The daily ex-
Perlence OF the commercial world, during
years past, demonstrates the truth of the
assertion. There is no cause, perhaps, from
which the mercantile business of the coun-
try suffers greater or more vexatiOus incon-
venlence, and the whole trading world is
beginning to feel the burden to be intoera-
BILE. continuance of the evil il certainly
not compatible with commercial prosperity,
while the political tendencies of the none
tarV arrangement are admitted to be subVer-
sIVe OF the social compact that binds the
Federal Union. Under such circumstances,
II becomes an interesting inquiry, whether
any plan can be devised which will remedy
the existing inequalities in exchanges.
1t might appear that any system Of finan-
ces promising result so desirable, would be
seized upon with greediness bya discerning
public, and universally adopted Now, it IS
fact that is not disputed, that during the
time the United States Bank was in opera.
ton, our exchanges were equalized and
properly regulated, and the country furnish
ed with currency which is confessed never
to have had its equal on earth, Twice has
| this Institution been tried under our govern
ment, and its effect in both experiments was
to regulate the exchanges and the currency.
Here, then, is the remedy so much sought
for, and so necessary for the national pros
perty-a remedy that has been tried once
and again, and always been found to answer
admirably, while all other shifts and expedi-
ents have utterly failed and exploded, to
the confusion of their inventors. Why,
then, it may be asked, has not this healing
measure been adopted? The best answer,
perhaps, that can be given to the question,
is to refer our readers to recent political
Ievents, fresh, no doubt, in the memory of all.
They will thus discover upon whom rests
the responsibility of subjecting the country
to the mischiefs and ruinous Inconvenience
of deranged currency.

Fame will be as dead failure as broken
pair of bellows putting at the phOsphOFescent
glow ola purified shad. You may have the
nerve and the power of giant, wresl from
the world and appropriate TO yourselves the
bright and valuable trophies of an hour; but
they are of no use so long as Death runs
rabld among us, unmuzzled, and uncOn-
trolled by fear or favor. You may one mo-
ment climb TO the tip-tOP of the tower of
renOwn, and write there your names IN let
tiers Of gold, to be read and revered by
all, and perhaps ere that moment has
scarcely flown, down you will go like lot
of china, broken, smashed and destroyed
not worth the putty required TO patch the
pieces together again. Yes, my friends,
Death will have his prey-and there's no
use in your trying to manufacture wings
with which TO escape to heaven; for the
body is fl for nothing but to be miIed over
again in the grave. to assist in the manufac-
ture of generations that are yet to be ex-
hibited upon the stage of poslerity.

in the calm lake Of humility, and go home
laden with praise as we'll as perch: so when,
at last you are yourselves caught in the net
of Death, he can neither say, have caught

rate, you are all rapidly approaching that
common goal to which the muItitudes OF
earth are fastening with the fight Of a
flock of pigeons: and advise you to choose
for yourselves which Of the two routes is

The GENTLEMAN True gentlemen are
TO be found in every grade of society. The
with his broad sunburnt hand,
his homely dress, and his open, honest coun-
tenance, is Oftener found to be possessed of
the real attributes of gentleman, than the
enerVated man milliner, who is much more
careful Of his gloves than of his honor;
whose shlrt-bOsOm must be as pure as vr
gins fame; and who, if one curl Of his
glossy wool were displaced, would be thrown
Immediately into strong commissions. The
blood which flows III a rich and generous
stream through the heart of a Russian serf,
is as pure in the eyes of God as The life cur
rent which eddies round the princely foun-
tain of the highest of England's noblemen
1t is false, illberal idea, that, because a
man cannot claim alliance with the proud
and wealthy, his name should be stricken
from the list of gentlemen. We are all
created aIike-Our mothers suffer the same
pangs-aRd shall the one who is ushered
into life upon a slken couch spuFn him
whose limbs were first laid on truss Of
straw? Which class, from time immemorial,
has shed honor and glory on the earth-the
names are enrolled in the dazzling pages Of
hstory-the gentleman of fashion, or the
gentleman of natures Whose voices are
most heard, and to most effect, throughout
the world? Why, those of men born in po-
verify, but clothed by truth with the jewell
ed robe of honor. Does the mele fact Of
mans being able to make bow with scru-
pulOus exaCtness constitute him a gentle
man? Shall the children of one mother be
ever divided, because one portion are gifted
with graCefulness of action and coxcOmbfy
of demeanor, while The others will not stOop
to cringt at fattery's fawn, or waste the
hours given them by heaven to improve, in
the useless study of the pue'il forms of
fashion? Oh, how glad it makes ones heart
to see the "painted lizards'' trodden under
foot by The gentlemen of nature! to see
them shrink away at the approach of honest
men, fearing that they may be called upon
to acknowledge their own inferiorty.
Who is the gentleman? he who can boast
of nothing but name, upon which dishnnor
has never thrown its Ieprous poison. He
who can lie down upon his pillow at night
knowing that he has done his neighbour nc
injury; whose heart is never closed to pity,
and whose arm is always nerved to redress
the injuries Of the oppressed. Who smiles
not al misfortune, and who mocks not the
affection of his fellows. He who looks up
on all men as equals, and who fears not tc
stand even in the presence of king. The
f man who is guided BY moral honor, and moi
obliged TO have laws made for his observance
He who has true democracy in his soul
who desires and gives to every man the en-
} iOyment Of his own opinions, provided those
, opinions do not infringe the DEGREES Of JUS
