NATIONAL DEBT.--The Na,chez Free Ira
der says that just one hundred and fifty six
years ago, the public debt of England was
only seven million two hundred thousand dol
lars; now, her debt is more than one thousand
millions of pounds, or four thousand eight
hundred millions of dollars, the annual interest
of which is one hundred and ninety two mil
lions Of dollars.
Now, the public debt created this session
by the majority in Cnogress, stands at Twelve
millions of dollars. Every man can calculate,
what this will amount to IN one hundred and
forty-six years, the period that sweled the
English debt of only seven millions, to such
an enormous amonnt. In England, nearly
one half of every mans earnings is taken in
the shape of taxes, annually, to pay the inter
est of this debt. Ia this country, when such
debt is created, it will take more than one
half.

MANUSCRIPTS OF THE DEAD.-lt is always
a sad and terrible task-where there is any
human feeling left in the hoart--that OF exam
ming the papers ard letters Of who are gone
The records of fruitless affections, of dIsap-
pointed hopes, oftenderness perhaps misplaced
perhaps turned by the will of fate to scourge
the heart that felt it, are there before our eyes.
Side by side, at one view and in one instant
we have before us the history of human life
and its sad and awful moral! we have there
the picture of every bright enjoyment, of every
warm domestic blessing; while written by the
hand of death beneath them is the terrible
truth. "These are all passed away forever,
and so will it soon be with thee likeWlse!'

will be one of unusual importance. All the
bank charters of the S,ae, except eleven, expire
in the course of the next year, and the question
of renewing them will probably be presented
to the members choshe at this election. The
people have gone into the contest on the issue
of Blanks or no Banks "-we trust they have
determined in favor Of their own rights.

OUELLIsT BAFFLED.-After this abor,ive
revolution, no political event has agitated the
| north part of Italy, until the unexpected occu-
patton of Aneona by the French. An occur
renee which recently took place there was the
| occasion OF much merriment. 1t appears that
among the French officers, was one who pri-
ded himself greatly upon his skill with the
broad sword. In order to give scope to this
talent, he had deliberately bnlled all his COL
leagues, besides a large number of Italian gen.
| tlemen into quarrels, and having invariably
come OFT triumphant, his arrogance was pro-
portlonably increased. At length, weary of
the peaceable life he led, and impatient for
new victim, he entered the principal cafe in
Ancona, one evening when it was fully occu-
pied, and for want of better subject, fixed his
regard upon an athletic and handsome priest
who was quietly reading at table. Monsieur
took seat by his side. The priest soon after
called for cup Of coffee. which the officer inn
mediately took possession Of The latter not
doubling that II was done though lnadvert-
ence, renewed the order; the Frenchman ca
gerly grasped the second cup also. Without
losing his patience in the least, the priest for
the third time repeated his demand, and again
his tormentor unceremoniously appropriated
the beverage to himself. By this time the
singular behavior Of the duellist had attracted
the attention of every one present; and the
priest in an elevated but calm tone, turning to
his tormentor, exclaimed, S How unworthy a
man of true courage, to insult one whose pro-
fession forbids resentment" The officer start
ed to his feet in rage Priest, o. no priest"
said he, "you have called me coward, and l
demand satisfaction" The priest had now al
so risen, and folding his robes about him, with
dignifed GOODNESS he addressed his adversary
- Sir, you shall be satisfied. believe a.
mong those of your profession, it Is cus;cma-
ry for the challenged party to choose the place,
time and weapon. Accordingly, sir, let the
place be here, the time now, and the weapon
this" and with single blow he hurled him
upon the floor in the centre of the room. The
cres, fallen bully was glad to make hisescape,
amid the jeers of the company.

BEAuTY-CLOTHING OF CHILDREN.-N hen
we observe the extreme anxiety OF mothers TO
improve the beauty and lmpart grace 10 the
forms of their daughters, we cannot but pity
the ignorance and inlalualoh which induce
them, in TOO many instances, to resort to means
calculated much more etieclually to defeat the
object so ardeutly desired, than to promote H..
A verv slight knowledge Of the human frame,
and of the manner In which II is influenced by
external agents, would teach them the absurd
ty of all attempts TO supply by artificial means,
what can result only from the unassIsted efforts
of nature. In infancy as well as IN adult He,
the first and most important object OF consid-

health and vigor of the body-slnce with It's
health we necessarily maintain lis symmetry,
and improves its beauty.
Bodily detormlty in particular, unless congo
NAL. or the effect of an unavoidable disease or
accident, is in the great majority OF cases pro-
duced by nursery mlsmanagement and the en-
poyments Of the very means resorted TO IN or
der to prevent 1t.
The fact cannot be too often repeated, nor
can it be too seriously urged upon parents, that
the foundation of graceful and just proportion
in the various parts of the body, must be lald
in infancy. light dress, when gives Ifee-
dom to the functions of life and action, is the
only one adapted to permit perfect unobslructed
growth the young fbres unconstralned by
obstacles imposed by art,.wiil shoot forth haI-
moniously into the form which nature intended.
The garments OF children should be, IN every
respect, perfectly easy, SO as not 10 impede the
freedom of their movements by bands or llga-
turs upon the chest, the loins, the legs or arms.
