A UNITED STATES BANK.

Testimony of l.angdon CheFes, the Sc
cond president Of the United State!
Bank, as to the powers Of such an institu
ton.
The following extracts are from his cor
respondence Of 1887:
81 am of the opinion that nationa
bank will not aid but cmbarrass the resto
ration OF the currency, and that after
wards, it would be an institution infinitely
dangerous under many circumstances anc
in many views."'
81 admit, that under very wise ant
clrcumspect management, 1t might be al
useful institution; but it is certain as any
thing depending on human action and hui
man will that it will not be so managed
Besides, I have no doubt. Congress have
no constitutional power to establish such
an institution; and this has been the clear
y expressed judgment of that school
of public men who claim Mr.. Jefferson as
their head, and who have administered the
government for almost forty years.
"The institution of the late hank was a
departure from the principles of,hat school,
badly justified, or rather Iamely excused al
the time, since generally regretted by
them; and finally by themselves atoned for
in the best manner in their power, by put
ting it down"
The author of these sentiments, Lang
don Cheves, was the President of the late
bank, which redeemed from the rum and
disgrace brought upon it by his predeces-
sor Jones. He was member ofthe South
Carolina delegation in Congress during
the ate war; he ranked with the distin-
gu;shed men of that state in Congress-
as Gen. Williams, VIM. Lowndes and John
C. Calhoun. Upon the Speakers chair
becoming vacant, by the appointment OF
Mr.. Clay as one of the commissioners to
negotiate the peace, Langdon Cheves was
elected TO fill the vacancy.

the most stern, conlemptuous disregard Of
tol!. Unwcared from watching, unshrlnk-
ng from exertion, undi,"ayed by oosta-
cles, with sure, unlaltering step, he won
his way to the highest honors of political
station. and the most elevated distinction
in The republic of letters. A man, said by
his contemporaries, not to lie endowed with
the highest oru,r of genus, but possessing
the most iron endurance of labor, and
most unequalled capabllity for exertion,
he has outsripped all his competitors in the
race of intellectual fame.
We recolect once visiting an artist o!
distinction. He was an enthusiast in his
profession, and cultivated it with n cease
less industry. His studio was his par
lor, he received company seated before

err for moment relinqushod his pencil.
Come and 60 who would, talk and laugh
who might, he continued fixed to the can
vas before him. The advantages ofeyery
moment were carefully garncred up, his
work progressed with the hour. Why, W.
thought, could not the same resislIess en-.
ergy be transferred TO the more ordinary
avocasions of life? How deeply it is TO lie
regretted, that the same sedulous regard for
the passing hour, does not come home to
the understanding and appreciation ofthat

THE VALUE OF TINE.

All the apotheghms and max!ms which
have been framed out of the SUI ject OF this
article, all the homilies that have been
written, and all the lectures that have been
deli, cred on It, tall uninteIigibIe upon a
listless ear, when directed to him who has
no practical knowledge of its estlmab'e
worth. 1t is like talking Of the Anihro-
pophagi, and men whose heads do grow
beneath their Shoulders" so far removed
is the multitude from lis correct apprecla-
lion. it is like taking of the value and viz
tues of the air, of which every man thinks
he has profusion, and which he can re-
tain without exertion. Thousands who
admit the abstract truth of the value OF
lime, taken as whole, yet permit ii 10
gil lie away in small inappreciabIe parcels.

This is the great error into which men ia !,
the great source of misconccp,lon upon
subject; generating that as body, OF
which they despIse the paris. No slhgie
hour should be thrown away, no moment
of recreation INDUCES, which is not ab'o-
Iltely necessary for the resuscialion OF the
wearied powers. There are hundreds oil
intervals, aud cd .-halfhours, which We
throw away as useless, but which we could
protitaby appropriate to the same pursuits
ia which our regular hours are employed
But the iewest number Of men have arrl-
we'd at eminence who we're not conscious
of this fact, and did hot avail themselves
of its advantages We can discipline our
selves into a habit--when not otherwise
required by courlesy-to continue our stu

noise, glee and interruption; or, If neces.
sarly broken off, to take up the matter a
gain at the point at which we left, the mo-
ment the impeachment is removed. This
might apnear 10 some an eXacting and tyr
ranuous imposition, but so far from being
oppressive, the habit can be lOstcred int"
a passion-a congenial element for the
creation Of mental vigor, healthful and
pure. compared to that wasting idleness in
whose lislless embraces the finest intellect

dwelling emptiness.

mania, which so Of en- shock the commu-

1t is i'll tampering with that, upon which the
icy fingers Of the grave are laid, though it
be destitute of pail or hatchment. Our
attention was directed to the subject from
noticing in the Mercersburg Visitor, an
account Of person throwing himself in
the way of train on a northern rail road,
and was, Ct course, crushed to pieces, thus
making a Juggernaut Of the unconscious
engine, as remorscless and unsparing in
its wrath as the eastern idol.
