The COMEDY OF LIFE.-The world
is the stage, men are the actorsi the
events OF life form the piece; fortune
distributes the parts; religion governs
the performance; philosophers are the
spectators; the opuleut occupy the
boxes; the powerful the amphilheatre,
and the pit is the unfortunate; the
disappointed snuff the candles; folly
the music; and time draws

SALUrATIoNs.--It is undoubtedly
true, hat much NAV be learned, as to
the dispositions of a people, from the
mode of their social addresses. In
China they ask. 'Have you eaten
your rice?' for this article with them
is an indispensable. If two Dutch
men meet in the morning, they. wish
each other a good appetite. In Cairo
the inhabitants inquire-"How do
you sweat?" since the want Of per-
spiration is with them symptomatic
of approaching fever. The Italian,
or the Spaniard. asks-"How does it
stand?" A Frenchman inquiries,
"How do you carry yourself9" The
Englishman, "How do you dol" In
the three latter salutatioLs we per-
ceivc the characteristic reference 10
show, reflection, and activity. Ere
quently the Hollander asks, "How
do you fareg" Among the N. Eng
land people the form somewhat va
ries. "How are you?" is the usual
mode of salutation-Boston Circular.

ELECTIONS BY TIE LEGiSLA-
TURE.

On the 9Th inst, John Brough was re
elected Auditor of State. and Thoms
Kennedy Noco(uco,) Librarian. We
certainly expected the re election ol
Brough-Gor no man has been more
faithful to his party, during the last
three or four years. ln fact, Brough
has been the travelling Sinmper for the
Locos ever since his first election to
the Office OF State Auditor. His re-
election therefore came as mere mat .
ter Of course. But we supposed that
old Mr. Mills would have been permit
ted 10 re main in the State Library by
common consent. Heretofore, the Lii
brarian has escaped the axe Of the Lo
cofoco executoners, even in times Of
the greatest party excitement. The
present Legislature, however, is moved
by more destructive and partisan sp.
rit than any hat has preceded it. In
every instance in which they (tho ma
jotity) have had the power, they have
ousted The Whig incumbenlO, and placed
violent Loco(ocos in office. And these
are the fellows who have whined and
snivelled ovel the removal OF a few un
worthy Postmasters! Where now is

We copy from the State Journal of the

The Senate thentook up the amend

mirlre to tho bill to enforce the re-
sumption of specie payments, which
were agreed to.
The amendments Of the minority Of

which postponed The time Of resump-
tion TO the first days OF May and June
next, wherrupon,
Mr. Taylor moved call Of the Sen

appeared to be absent, both OF whom
we're excused

Pending the question on the amend

Mr.. Waddo then offered The follow.

"That if any banking institution in
