never seen the time when could notearn more
than my vlctuals and clothes; in fact the only
difference have found between hard and easy
times is, that in one, people can live upon a
credit without work, and in the other they have
to pay for what they get; always made it a
rule to live upon what made,, and | never paid
$50 per month for board when | only made
ten, and didn't wear fine clothes if had to go
in debt for them 1t takes very little to iced
and clothe man, if he don'tswart to lveStoo
high and dress too fine. By spending less than
made in the beginning, after a while my income
began to increase faster than my wants, ana in
good and bad times, 1 have always had enough
for MY wants.
OF late, VIC have heard great deal of hard
times. and supposed Of course, that these who
complained so much, would 7execise the most
rigid economy, indeed supposed they would
,Ec dri"en to it by necessity. Two or three
weeks ago, saw a Theatre bill stuck up about
tL.; s'rects. ] felt sorry for the company which
v.ou,,ii c., NC 10 this place TO play; for thought
.l,cv wor'A lave to play TO empty bcnchcs but day
altar dav Is,,w Hcw bills out, and began to think
thcv mist have bc.;er lack than expected; So,
few nights ago, Thought would just go down
and see what sort of company they had; went
early and took my scat Were could have a
rood view of the spectators as they came n
suppose .here were about 4 h.nared and f!ly,
and did not see a man whom | had rot hcafa
complaining OF the times being SO lard ti'at
man could scarcely live. ! saw II that kHo"
have taken the insolvcnt oath; three who have
not paid their board for the last two months;
fourteen young men who have not settled their
trog bills at the confcctionaries; two whose
swasherwomcn complain very heavily of them;
sly who arc in debt to their tailor; and at least
dozen who are in arrears at the livery stables for
their evening rides. saw one man there, and
a man of family too, who not long ago went to
grocer in the city and begged him to furnish
his family with meat and meal to keep his family
from starving until lie could make or collect the
money to pay him, the grocer has supplied him
now for better than q month and not a dollar has
he paid him, but understand he has attended
the Theatre nearly every night thought it
was no wonder it was hard times with such men;
men who complain that they can hardly live, and
yet spend half dollar every night for that which
is neither food nor raiment.
Now, if any body thinks these are hard times,
lust let him attend tic Theatre, and he will find
he is mistaken; he will see plenty of men 60
ine there every night, whom if he was to dun
for adebi, he would think they hadn't seen
scvenpence for 4 month"; such pitcous tales they
would tel! him about the hardness OF the tines.

After the passage Of tlic Loan ELL, Mr.. Steh-

cure the money for .!ic remainder oi The loan,
ON the HOS: advantageous tCrn&--t'ic govern
men: to lave the money advanced iicrc on the
same terms which might be concluded on in Eu-
rome. This offer was iavorably received and
was likely to be accepted, but was finally rcicc-
ted. Next, Mr. IIavens, Of Boston, on the part
of some persons there offered to take such part
of the loan as the government might immaculate
" want at o., and to procure the remainder IN
ErlroDc on the most favorable terms. This was
rejected. Next, the Barings and liopc, through
their AGENT, offered 20 to take six millions oi
the loan at G.. THIS also, alter being nearly
concluded upon, was rc icctcd by the govern
mcnt. Then the Secretary Of the Treasury

! - y;-I With such pair of beautiful eyes Every
whore in this division of the house, such lapoer,
,w;,,er. mochery, and laughter, that one never
heard any thing IKE it. The females were gene
rally old and some few showed SO much delicacy
and propriety, and had little of the widness OF
an unsettled mind, that we could have hoped any
thing for them any where else. How much might
no, have been expected had these been under the
judcious treatment of Esquirol or Munro! We
were too much interested MOTTO pay second visit
to this place. when we saw some OF those who
had been most violent on the first, now coiled up
in the bed.clothes, silent, ef1te, and motioness !:
others were gesticulating just as before, and
seemed never TO have slept from that moment, as
if they were wound up to speak or sco!d eternally.
One magnificent coun,enance of man lay mo-
tionless gazing at us, as it had done yesterday,
with mild dignity and consciousness OF suffering
dishonor-a face such as the first Charles might
have shown toward The rabble that hooted him 10
execution. Our mathematical Capuchn was IN
his bed and reading his Bible, which he does ev-
cry morning, and says it gives him cornpesure Tor
the trials of the day, and, he added, it is much
wanted here His saiutation was the most grace
fu imaginable. The women were vociferous
as ever, and active squirrels. They lose
about nine patients for every hundred, which
speaks well for their general health. She nun
who went round with us had been their guardian
for year, and hoped to be continued for another.
The women, in the attendance of kind person OF
their own sex, are much better off than the men.
to whom is denied the unspeakable advantage of
sympathizing friends, and who abandoned to
keepers, themselves scarcely above the capacity
Of brutcs. Surely to such men these the care
of the over-senstive lunatc ought never to be con-
ided AS to the cause of madness in Italy, love-
it is said, fills the wards with his victims, and
such cases often exhibit frightful expression Of
lost or depraved intelligence, making devils of
the quiet and inoffensive, and speedily precipitat
ing the young into old age. Humanity is not
wanting in Italy, but il requires more attention
than it is their custom to give, to hit upon the
best means of aleviating the distress of these
poer unatcs On the spot where these
distressing scenes, there is nearly or quite fin
ished, noble building, admirably adapted for the
separation Of its inmates. The number of its
compartments will afford the farther advantage Of
enabling those who are furious 10 be kept apart
and without chains, though complete emancipation
from bonds did not appear in the contemplation of
the keepers. One of the attendant sisters said 10
US, IF not to chain them they would
bite though their hands were restrained by the
camisoe" I told her that we had no chains
used now, either in France or England.

AN ITALIAN MAD-HOUSE.


Or an upper floor of this horrid tenement we
desire to say nothing. 1t was place for Saliva
tor to paint, for devil to rejoice in for humanity
TO sicken and shudder at. We had been, as we
have said, in many mad houses before, but in none
like this; at once menagerie OF herceness, pig
stye Of filth. The motto to Dante's Infsrno had
been strictly applicable to this hopeless place. The
faces Of the maniacs were begrmed with dirt, and
their plight rendered more pitiable by the utter
negligence of the keepers There was small
ward at the end, in which the people were treated
just like wild beasts in a menagerie There they
lay chained to their beds frantic and foaming,
some gnashing their teeth in violent and sup
pressed rage at the manaces and chains they
could Rot break; others oscilIating their heads
and trunks from side to side without ceasins; or
threatening the destruction of their beds,eads by
frantic efforts. An outraged tiger would not have
been more to be dreaded than one awful creature,
who, having sip-chaia which gave him a few
fee, furough, as you chain mastiff at your gate,
sprang up high window-sill, and leapcd down
again on our apprt ach, with the agilit} of mon
key Along an open gallery of small extent for
exercise, we'll secured and guarded by .con bars,
there staked several whose situation was not quite
SO intolerable. inasmuch as they were only chain
ed bythe hands and wrists; but dangerous enough
were they even thus, as they strided up and down,
naked to the waist, some in suspicious taciturmty,
others uttering imprecatons. One there was thai
spat upon each vis,er as he passed, and tried t0
get his loose TO fight. In this dreadful! mad
