MONUMENT 70 WAguINcTov

MONUMENT TO WASHINGTON.

IntelIigencer, writes 40 follows oftlle pro-
posed monument to the " Father OF HE cotn.

ent, Ia one Of ~bnefDalled rhagnifeeocs, wor-
thy land no more than worthy Of the subject.
Four hundred and tUeuyGse feet is tho pro-
posed height and this, one Of the New York
papers states, will make it the highest bniling
in the world mot quite correctly, Az tho
pyramid Of Choeps 10 six hundred feet high.
To realize this prodigious eteeple of the new
Trinity Church, which is TO be the tallest i'm
This country, will only reach 10 one hundred
and sevnty-fve feet. 1t is not to be merely
a monument but an immense public building
containing halls, Libraries, and other appro-
pirate apartments. The shape ia 10 be a
pentagon, and the style a fo.id Gothic.
Union Square 10 named ~ The site, but tho
immense size of the base. should suppose

and it you'd be a pity, besides, 10 brake up
the ~salutary fountain and open rark already
ornamental erorgh in that part Of tic city.
The placing of this ncb!e monument on The
central elevation now occupied by tile Taber-
naeles and the opening of a new square ex-
tending back to the Bowery, over the Five
Points, would in the first place turn that fes-
tering sink into lungs for this crowded me-
tropoiis, and in the next place, eentralize, in
the neighborhood Of the City Hall, the prom.
inent public buildings. This great mon-
ument is TO be built by subscriptions OF ore
dollar each. The object is one which every
American must feel Interested in, and there
is 10 citizen, | presume, who would not give
his dollar towards it. Let it be, if Mr..
Dickens chooses so to call il, a a9g1ar'' mon
ument to MISUNDERSTANDING thai. dcvo-
ted to dollars though we arc, (and yet not
more than EaglIshmen to pounds, shilIings
and pence) our dollar patriotism can raise to
to the FIRST patriot of history the grandest
monument of modern times. 5

position, says that q monument to Washing

THE MORNING sTAR.
nv AUGUSTUS sNopeRAss.

Itss's morning has a star as bright
Az that which rolls on high.
Just AZ the young Days cold gray light,
Steals softly Ger the sky
A star of jov-~a star OF love,
Which fnndly, purely beams
Drinht Az the scenes where gaily rove
Sweet Childhood's golden dreams.
II bushes from the azure walls
Where sleeps the faded night,
And by its emile Of Beauty calls
The soul to life and lightl
Yet al the busy day rolls on 81
II flee the burning glare,
And fades before the flaming Euh
Within its realms Of air.
Then comes the noisy press Of Life
The mixing with the crowd
The hunt for gold=-the wee-the strife
The conflict long and loud /!
Hut back from these my eoul will turn
And gaze on that dim star,
but | behold II az an Urn
Where Pleasures aRhes are
~"
No more the laugh and song surrounds
Nor early friendships emiles
but they are like the dull. dread sound
Borne frem a ruined aisle !
I see but dim and misty forms
Once loving and caressed J. 47,-1 p
Yet they stretch forth their shaaewy arms
To touch my heaving breast. r
Then gaze | on that sacred Soul
Which knew my earliest hours !:
Whose words upon my spirit stole
Lake winds in Summer bowers
Before me stands his mighty shade
And looks with eyes severe, ,H
And points, through all the Past arrased,
Unto each distant year'
He lifts on high the shattered Tyre
And melody would bring,
But woos in vain the slumb'fing fire
Unto its mouldered string,
Not eainly did he touch that Tyre
While Life fiaeiied In fis veins ;
Fen now his tones ify wing'd with fire
Along our hills and platns /!
And If my cong has ever brought
A ray Of joy to me,
II was that the sacred lathe ] caught,
My early friend, from thee !!
And though Thy humble grave aiar
Ny knees have never preside
Yet thou dost shine, a eaered star.
Forever in my breaets
But off when Silence stills The Earth.
And bteathes her spell on me, '
/ dream that thou dost wander forth;
And that | walk with thee |
But on thy brow | see no more
Thy many o impressed -
Woes, which like snake-fange stung. AM

The spirit TO ito rest s.
But earnest, talm~~thon f1oeest by
And on me lay'st thy hand;-
| see a blessing in thine eye
Brought from the spiri,-land
And az thus | walk by thee,
waader back afar.
And through the mists around mt see

Jews Of Berlin have contributed, during
the last 4years to the different charities Of

sum of two thousand dollars be apprO'

the current year, towards the cOnstruc-

DEAR SIR:-I was absent from home

You are right in the opinion which you
attribute TO me on the spbject Of free
trade. So far from desiring or aiming
at substituting a system OF direct or in.
ternal taxes for duties on imposts, as
the means Of supporting the Govern
ment, my object has been the very re-
verse, as | have often EXPIRE ssed in de-
bate. One Of the objections l have urg-
ed agaInt high protective duties, 10, that
il would hasten the period when resort
to a system Of internal taxation would
abecOme necessarily am, and always have
been, Of the opinion that the duties on
imposts and the proceeds ofthe sales Of
the public lands, are the legitimate sour
ces Of the revenue of the Union, and that
J will prove a severe trial OF the federal
Government whenever it shall be forced
10 resort 10 internal taxes to meet its or,
dinary expenditures; under this imPres'
sion, as we'll as for other powerful rea-
sons, have steadily opposed all schemes
alternating the revenue from the lands
or that were calculated TO impair the
source ofrevenue from its imposts.
With great respect, am, &C.,

THE URBANA BANK.

The Ufbana Citizen Of Tuesday brings
us the following item of intelligence con-
cerning that beautiful concern, the bank
Of UTbana:
"In reference to the urbana Bank,
the court, on application, allowed the
Trustees of the Ohio Insurance Compa.

dend was not fixed, but will not exceed
8 or 10 per cent, and may not even reach
that amount. Due notice Of the matter
will be given by the Special Receiver.
We have all along believed that this
bank was solvent and would ultimately re.
deem all lis cir iTCulation. But we must
confess that our faith has been much sha
ken Of late, in this belief. We hope we
NAV be mistaken, but we ave Inclined

Hear that, Messrs Brokers. We should
think this would be very disagreeable
flea ia the ears Of some we wOt OF, unless
il should turn out, as many Of our com
mercial men believe, that the officers ol
the bank and others interested, have
formed a combination, and studiOusly
labor to dspreciate their paper, that they
may buy it'up at low rates for the pur.
pose ofspeculation. That there is good
reason for this belief, we do not deny
and Independent Of such an impression
being common in this and other commu
mites, growing out Of certain transactions,
, the character iof the conductors of the
institution would of itself justify such a

HORSE AND cow.

A horse costs the prizes or three cows.
The annual expense Of keeping him is a.
bout three times as much, il we include
his ShOeing. He is worn out and nearly
lOoses his value in ten years, which is a
loss of ten per cent per annum upon the
cost. Thus five give for him seventy
five dollars, that is gone in ten years:
keeping and shOeing, say $40 dollars
year, in ten years is four hundred dol
lars; making four hundred and seventy
five dollars in all. Thus for every horse
a famer may keep beyond what may be
necessary for farm work, is equal 10 forty
seven d0llars tifty cents out ofpOCket in
each year. Upon Doctor Franklins cal.
culatiOn, that penny saved is two earn
ed, this forty seven dollars e fly cents is
equal to ninety Eve dollars: for it we
lose or expend forty seven dollars fifty
cents, it is gone absolutely out Of pock
et; and W have 10 earn that amount be-
fore we can possess il. Now had we
saved il with the same amount earned,
it would come to ninety FIVE dollars as
plain as can be made.
Let US look after the COW. An ex.
ceIlent one can be had for $25. She
will last ten years, and make on an aver
age fifty dollars worth of butter and
cheese per year, which may be set down
as clear gain, for the skinned milk will
pay for her keeping. This is for ten
years gain of $500, for at the eud Of
that time she will bring her original cost
for beef, making the cost about balanc-
ed.

fore we can set the $475 which the horse
has cost US, we must earn il. Let us
reflect then, and see if we have not tOC
