MIDDLETON EXAMINATION AND FAIR.
On Friday, the 3Oh uIl,, concluded
the examination of the pupils Of the seye-
raj Schools at Middleton, Middleton

The examination was highly interest.
ing, and eyinced on the part Of the stu
dents, an advancement in the various
branches of polite and finished educa>
ton, which does honor to themselves, and
reflects the highest credit on their teach
ers. II is to be hoped by every friend of
education, that these valuable schools will
receive the patronage to which their great
usefulness entites them.
Economy and Iaudable State pride
prompts US TO sustain institutions ofIearning
in our own State; and the healthy situation
of these Schools, and the high reputation
for learning, which is justly awarded to
those who superintend them, render them
peculiarly worthy of liberal support.
The Annual Fair of the LADIES Mid,
dleton Benevolent Society, which came off
on'the evening of the 2Sth uIt., was in a
high degree successful, aud reflects much
credit on the ladies OF that village. We
have seen some beautiful specimens of
their handy-work which eynce much in
genu,y, and refinement of taste.

REsIsNATIoN.-The Natchez Free
Trader ofthe Goth ult,, states, that on the
10Th OF July, Immediately after John ID.
Freeman Esq, had concluded his speech
at Augusta, William G. CrawIey, the
nominee of the 5ond.paying, whig party,
tor state Treasurer, publicly announced
that he paS no longer candidate, We
lmmaglne there can be no doubt of the
truth of this statement, as one of the edit
ors ct the Free trader, has just returned
from tour through that section of the
state.
The Free Trader does no, state directly
the cause of Crawley's announcement;
but It is clearly inferable, that he felt the
convincing force Of MIR. Freeman's arru.
ment, or was Induced to regard as
gloomy, the prospects of those who would
contend against truth and Justice, when
supported by so powerful an advocate.
Mr. Crawley has certainly acted wisely
in withdrawing from the canvass; and
many other bond.paying candidates will
wish they had done likewise, when they

| BANK OF ORLEANS. We have noticed
in several exchange papers, statement
! OF the condition of this institution contra
Idictory TO that We copied from an extra of
the Vicksburg Sentinel, stating that it
had cot more than one dollar in specie for
every twenty OF its circulation II is
possible as alledged, that the correspond
ent Of the Sentinel was led into an error
IN this particular, by a mistake in the re-
port OF the bank examining committee !;
but no one who knows aught Of the history
of the louisiana banks, can reasonably
doubt that this, with many others, will
ere long explode, producing, in this State,
effects scarcely less disastrous than those
produred by the explosion of our own
banks.
1t is said that all The banks in the city,
with perhapse one exception, being alarm
ed, lest the Developments IN relation to
this institution, should produce a run or
them, are endeavoring to bolster it up for
time, uctll they can get deeper hold
on the unwary producers Of the country.
The only effect, such course, on the
part of the other banks, can have,
is to put off the evil day a little
longer, which will ultislately come with
increased disasters. Ii this concern be
dependant on the other banks, it leans
upon broken staff, and he acts prudentlv,
who that refuses to become its creditor by
receiving its deceptive promises.
We learn that the banks were TO have
held a meeting a few days since, for the
purpose no doubt, Of connecting some plan
to reinstate themselves 10 the confidence
OF the people, that they may food the
states of louisiana and Mississippi, with
their issues in exchange for The present
crop, the proceeds Of which they will FOB,
and leave their issues dead upon the hands
Of the people.

vagance Of modern fashions. Now our
boys and girls must all be beaux and bel.

superfine broadcloth, ruffles and gold

than their bodies. The innuendo is
severe one upon the ladieS-we have few

is some justice in it. We have fallen
upon eXtravagant, and therefore upon
evil times. That tickle goddess Fashion,

a universal bankrupt law. Well would
1t be for us, if those who are looked upon
as patterns in society, would periodically

"But then," said the banker, who haC
all along been trying to get in word, 81,
the contempt of the world nothing ?"
1.-The envy of the world is as bad as
It's contempt; you have, perhaps, the
one, and share of the other. We are
matched there too. And, besides, the
world deals in this matter equally unjust
with us both. You and | live by our
wits, instead Of living by our industry
and the only difference between us in this
particular worth naming, is, that it costs
society more to maintain you than it does
to maintain mel am content with lit
tie, you want a great deal. Neither of
us raise grain or potatoes, or weave cloth,
or manufacture any thing useful, we there
fore add nothing to the common stock !;
we are only consumers and if the world
Judged with strict impartiality, therefore,

Some passers by here interrupted the
conversation. The disputants separated,
good friends and drew in
my head calculating somewhat in the
manner of Alexander in the play-Is there
then no difference between a banker and
a bcggar.

paid the last debt of nature. They died
as they lived the one a banker and the
other a beggar. examined both their
graves, when | next visited the CITY,
They were of similar length and breadth.
The grass grew equally green above each;
and the sun looked down as pleasantly on
one as on the other. No honors, plea
sures, or delights clustered around the
grave of the rich man. No finger of scorn
was pointed at that Of the poor man.
They were both equally deserted, lonely,
and forgotten | thought, too, of the
destinies to which they had passed; of
the state in which temporal distinctions
exist not-tcmporal honors are regarded
not, Where pride, and the circumstances
which surround this life never find admit
lance. Then the distinctions of time APP
pcared, indeed, as an atom in the sun
beam, compared with those which are
made in that changeIess state to which
they both had gone.

in 4 deplorable condition, called him 10
the door, and giving him mouldy piece
of bread, asked him if he could read, to
which he answered in the negative to
the question whether he could say the
Belief, and the Lords Prayer, the answer
was the same. "Well," said the divine,
IL will teach you that Our Father"
said the instructor. "Our Father" re-
peated the poor boy "what your
Father as we'll as mine !" Eyes, cer-

the crust from behind his coat, show

However dark and disconsolae the path
of life may have been to any man, there is
an hour of deep and quiet repose at hand,
when the body may sink into dreamless
slunber. Letnot the imagination be start
led, if this resting place, instead of the bed
down, shall be the bed Of gravel, or the
rocky pavement of the tomb. No matter
where the poor remains Of wearied man
may lie, the repose is deep and undisturb-
ed-the sorrowiul bosom hcaves no more
the tears are driedup in thcirlountans-
the aching head is at rest, and the stormy
waves of earthly tribulauon roll unhceded
over the place Of graves. Let armies en-
gage in fearful conflict over the very bo-
SONS of the pale nations Of the dead not
one of the sleepers shall heed the spirit
stirring trump, or respond to the rendmg
shouts of victory.
How quiet these countless millions
sIumber in the arms their mother earth.
The voice of thunder shall not awake
them; the loud cry Of the eIcments-the
winds, the waves, nor even the giant
tread Of the earthquake shaIi be able to
cause an inquietude in the chambers of
death, They shall rest securely through
ages; empires shall rise and fall; the
bright millennium shall come and pass
away; the last great battle shall be fought,
and then silver voice, at first but Just
heard, shall rise to a tempest tone, and
penetrate the voiceless grave. For the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall
hear his voice.

KIRBy, the popular young actor, in the
play of the Carpenter of Rouen, gives the
following excellent sentiment, which al
ways brings down three rounds of ap-
plause:
"The Mechanic, sir, is one of Gods
Noblemcn. What have Mechanics not
done
"Ilave they not opened the secret
chambers of the mighty deep, and extract
ed its treasures, and made the raging bill
lows their highway, on which they ride
as on tame sleed! Are not the ce-
ments Of fire and water chained to the
crank, and at the mechanics bidding com
PEELED to turn it! Have not Mechanics
opened the bowels Of the earth, and made
its products contribute to their wants
The torkcd lightning is their plaything
and they ride triumphant on the wings OF
the mighty winds. TO the wise they
are the flood gates of knowledge, and
Kings and Princes are decorated with their
handiworks. He who made the universe
was great Mechanic"

/. Do you see that proud, overbeari

Look he stops before magnificent

The once poor boy stands in the pride

in his unostentatous adOrnments. ~
An old man approaches. The totter

painful expression that frets in every
