The RETIRING BANKER's ADvIcE.-A
story is related of celebrated banker in
Europe who carried on business successfully
for years with the reputation Of great wealth
in his old age he retired from business and
transferred ii to his two sons: "My sons,
leave you in possession Of my business and
my capital. My capital, as you know, is
locked up in that strong box, which has not
been opened for years, because my profits
have been such, that had no occasion to
encloach upon it. l charge you to pursue
the same course. Never open the box, for
ifyou once begin to run upon your capital
you will in all probability lose it," The sons
obeyed their fathers mandate for series of
years, with the same credit and reputation
for wealth that their parent had enjoyed; for
everybody knew that the sons were in pos
session of the old gentleman's strong box
In process of time, however, the box was
opened, and behold it contaired-- NOTHING.
This fact becoming known, the credit of the
bankers failed, and they were ruined.

The AsHBURToN TREATY.--To Mr.. Web
ster's assertion that this treaty was received
by the people of Maine, Mr. Dickinson, New
York, replied as follows:--"Yes, sir, Maine
did consent; but she consented as the poer
Indians do, who quit the graves ofthen faith
ers and the homes Of their childhood--they
could not help it. She consented as the
criminal consents to walk to the place Of
execution, who knows that if he did not
choose to walk, he would be carried. That
is the kind of consent which Maine yielded
to the treaty OF Washington.n

HEALTH OF Gov. DoRR.--We entertained
the hope, during the cold season, (says the
Providence Gazette of April 23,) that when
warm weather approached, we should be
able to announce some improvement in the
health ofthis distinguished champion ofequal
rights. Our hopes have not been realized;
and we are panied now to say that for the
last six or ten months, he has been getting
more feeble. His confinement within the
damp walls Of the Afgerine dungeon, TO
which he was sent tor life, by his cowardly
prosecutors, has had the effect TO almost en-
tircly break down his constitution, and scatter
disease through every part of his system.--
He rides out occasionally, Of an afternoon,
but otherwise is not able 10 leave his home.

and to that of bestowing upon him large
share of that wealth, the fatal possession Of
which had attracted SO many suitors unworthy
Of il and her, In word, the marriage
contract was signed, the lady insisting on
bestowing upon her reluctaat husband half
of her enormous estates. ! G etHf tt
"Whenever you will no longer suffer me- y
she said, "to be your wife, l shall have, in
the death to which that sentence will doom
me, the comfort Of having made happy with
riches the only man have loved; or could
love, and he will, at least, repay me with a
few tears to my memory"
The nuptial day at last arrives. This
singular ceremony is completed in the midst
of an extraordinary magnifcence and splen-
dor. The veil which hid the mysterious face
of the Croasi di Morto, glistens with dia-
monds. The parties return from the church,
and the husband kneels before his wife, to
encounter that dread ordeal which none be-
fore have encountered and proved equal to
endure. She raises her hand to- unclasp the
fastening Of her mask What an instant for
the trembling husband, whose heart almost
ceased to beat, and whose countenance be-
comes stamped with deadly paleness, as if
already in reflection of tha. which he is
about TO behold! Tho mask at last falls:
and one instantaneous glance sullices TO re-
veal to him the whole mystery of CrosSi di
Morto. Through tears Of happiness, it is a
face of almost angelic beauty that is smiling
upon him! tsA.
The truth was, that this singular and &C.
centre creature had carried out the caprice
of wearing two masks, the under one re-
presenting indeed skull, her object being
to protect herself from the arts of those un-
worthy suitors, whose attraction would be
her enormous wealth alone, and to make
choice of one who should love her as she
would be beloved-for her mind and heart
alone. She had also bad made glove for
one hand, curiosly fashioned TO resemble the
hand of "a skeleton. With these she had
ofectually frightened off all those upon
whom with her quick powers Of discernment
of character, she had herself no disposition
10 bestow that hand She had come 10
Palermo from Naples, having come originally
from France, where, as have before said,
she was born Of Russian parents. This Gu
rious history of the Crossi di Morto, or
"Death's Head" has already moved the gen.
ius of all the authors of Sicily, besides hav-
ing served as theme for the celebrated poets
Of some Of the large Italian theatres.

THE AMERICAN WILD CAT.--"Of all the
peculiarties of the wildcat, untamcable and
quarlesome disposition is its most marked
characteristic. The western hunter, when
he wishes TO cap the climax of braggadocio,
with respect TO his own prowess, says che
can whip his weight in wild cats" This is
saying all that can be said; for it would
seem, considering its size, that the cat, in
fight, can bite fercor, scratch harder, and
live longer, than any other animal whatever.
81 am a roaring earthquake in fight" sung
out one of the hafhorse, halfalligator spe-
cies of felows-"a real snorter of the uni
verse. | can strike as hard as fourth-proof
Lightning, and keep it up, rough and tumble,
as long as wild cat"
"These high encomiums on the character
Of the pugnacty Of the cat, are beyond ques-
ton. A "snged cat' is an excellent prov
erb, illustrating that person may be smarter
than ne looks. A singed wild cat, as such
an illustration, ,rould be sublime. There is
no halfway mark, no exception, no occa-
sional moment of good nature: starvation
and surfeit, blows and kind words, kicks,
cuffs, and fresh meat, reach not the sympa-
thies of the wild cat. He has the greediness
of pawnbrokor, the i'll nature of an usurer,
the meanness of pettlfogging lawyer, the
blind rage of the hog, the apparent insens-
blity to pain of the turtle; like woman,
the wild cat is incompatible with anything
but ITSELF"

ADV ICE.

Tho New York Courier and Enquirer, in no.
ticiDg some remarks of tho Washington Union,
says:
"Our interest, and our glory, and our progress
depend upon peace. Our conquests are no: and
should not be those Of arms. Our free institu-
tons, laborious habits. our equal laws
these are our weaPons-and to all these is
fatal. But let US look at the single question Of
cost.
We have i. on the authority Of the President
that if the war be continued for one year only
it will require an expenditure Of twonty four
millions of dollars and above all the ordina-
ry poace expenditures of the Government
Think of what that sum would accomplish in
building up and blessing this nation. and then lie,
US ask ourselves whether we willing that ii
should be uselessly and wnntonly spent IN prepa-
ration for human butcherv! We ask every one
TO consider this question for himself. We oppose
no just and proper appropriation for war, if war
must be contlnued-but ask gain and aga n
that i. be not continued ono hour beyond the
most unavoidable necessity. If Mexico will not
treat, will not prefer peace to war, on her let the
responsibility rest; bat for ourselves lie, US ever
be ready with tho olive branch.
