by legislative act, TO put stop 10 the traffic IN bank

cess for the Banks there to afford the dation
needed or 10 render the circulating medium al such
places, equivalent 10 gold and silver.
The disadvantage of the traffic in bank notes to this
State will be apparent, when il IS stated, that in Mary

Banks. are at a discount of TO u per cent, that per
sons are engaged in purchasing them, and employing
an AGENT here 10 convert them into specie; this il done

be daily IL is evident then, that small capital en-

the operation in trweekly intercourse it will amount
to 80 per cent per anuum, while our banks neces

place Of one that is convertible.
A law TO prohibit the purchase of bank notes at
premium, would correct this evil because it would put
an end to profit and holders in Maryland and elsewhere
would either have to incur the expense OF presenting
their notes for redemption at the places issued,
refuse to receive them, and this might be productive Of
rood by dvertng the trade from Baltimore TO Virginia,
and thus giving increased activity TO the commerce Of
our own State with the additional advantage that each

TUE FIRST.


The first. the first. oh. non2ht like II.
Our after years can bring,
For Summer hath no flowers so sweet
AS those Of e2:iy Spring.
The earliest storm Tint strips the tree
Still widest seems, and worst;
Whate'er hash becn again may be,
But never as NJ first
For many bitter blast may blow
0'er lies uncertain wave,
And many 4 ilioray thickel grow
Between us and The grave;
But darker still! the spot appears,
Where thunder. clouds have burst
Upon our green, uablighted yeats
No grief IL like the first.
Our first horn joy,-perchancc t wa, vain,
Yet that brief iigh;enn: DER,
The heart, indeed, may hope again,
But eau rejoice no more.
Life hath no glory 10 bestow-
Unfailen and uucursed;
There may be many an after glow,
But nothing like the first.
The rays Of hope may light us on
Through Manhood's toll and strife,
But never can they shine rs shonr
The morning stars of life:
Though bright rs Summers rosy wreath,
Though long and fondiy nursed,
Yet still they wan; the fearless faith
OF Those that blsst us first.
It's first love deep in memory
The heart forever bears;
For that was early given and free
LIES wheat without the iares.
II may he Death hath buried deep,
Ii may be Fate hath cursed;
But yet no latter love can keep
The greenness of the first.
And thus, what e'er our onward way,
The lights or shadows cast
Upon the dawninc If our day
Are with US 10 the last.
But, ah. the morning breaks no more
on us, rs once II burst;
The future Springs can ne'er restore
The freshness of tire first.
