MORALITY OF THE UsURY LAws.-The following
torcibe remarks on the usury laws, are from lee
lure recently delivers before the New York Mer-
camille Library Associations. How protested NOR
alists and philosophers with any show OF reason
support the law, is problem that we cannot solve
on any principle of common sense.
THE usury law invites aad encourages the Dor
rover to become downright and shameless knave
Either he ignorant of the usury, else the loaE
was taken upon his honor and his plea of usury is
denial of that last attribute of character which makes
even barbarian to be trusted. The man who pleads
usury never after respects himself Before he makes
his plea he must pass through the several stages o.
loss, vexation modification, and despair OF regain
ing his position i'll society He feels that he is dis
graced and society heartily enters into his feelings
Ard this disgrace the legislature has invited, and
strongly encourages him to bring on himself.
when his case on in court, the judge blush
es he charges the jury in favor of the borrower ana
the Jury despise him at the moment of returning
reluctant verdict in his favor The only difference
in public estimation between the maker of this pea
and certain other character is this-The one finds
his way his neighbours property, and keeps it, anc
the other takes by stealth. Truly may say, the
law entered that offence might abound"

3rThe Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Journal of Commerce writes
Il learn that the diplomats of this city say that
there is a secret treaty between Louis Philippe and
the Austrian, Prussian and Russian, and perhaps
other crowned heads, providing that the latter shall
sustain the King of the French and his family upon
the throne Of France. If this be soand it probably
is so-France will not be suffered to establish, in
quiet, republican government"
The Sun has letter from Washington of the same
purport.

ENGLISH MORMON NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF THEIR CHURcHEs.-We learn from reliable
source, says the St. Louis Republican. that sew
eral thousand English families, members of the
Mormon Church. will arrive at New Orleans,
during this spring, on their way to join the set
Element formed in the Great Salt Lake Valley.
An agent of the Mormon Church has been sent
| to New Orleans to provide passages for the en-
| igrants, on boats TO St. Louis, as fast as they
arrive. Another agent is stationed in st. Lou
is, to engage transportation for them up the
Missouri, to the present encampment OF the
Mormons on the Missouri river, called "Wln-
ter Quarters" This encampment is on lands
owned by the Omaha Indians, and in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Council Bluffs. From that
point or the vicinity, they expect every spring
to send out all who are prepared to migrate tC
the Valley of the Salt Lake,
1t Is calculated that from eight to ten thou
sand souls, from Engl and alone will join the
bemigrating party this season. In addition, sew
eral other large parties are expected from othel
quarters of Europe. At one time 1t was the
intention of the church to send these emigrant:
by vessels TO Charges, and thence across the
continent TO the Pacific, and by vessels to th'
! California, but since they have located thel
city in the great Salt Lake Valley, and deter
mined to build their church there, they have
instructed their disciples to take the overland
route from the head of navigation on the Mis-
souri,. Those coming from beyond the sea-
WILL as far as practicable, take vessels for New
Orleans, and thence by boats reach the genera
rendezvous on the Missouri.
A deputation of the Elders now in this cit,
are having printed large addition ola G1tid
20 the route from their present encampmen
on the Missouri, to their new city near the
Salt Lake. 1t is very complete and minute
work.
! A party of several thousands will leave III
, encampment at winter Quarters" thi
spring early the grass on the plain
will permit. tits estimated that there are nov
upwards of twelve thousand souls in the vici
! nifty of this encampment. At least half o
these MornoRs will set out for their new resi-

HOW HE ROSE.

A SHORT AND TRUE SKETCH BoYs.-About 4C
years ago, somewhere in the woods near the line be
tween Tennessee and Kentucky, in log cabin six
teen feet by eighteen which already occupied by
brood of ten or twelve children, was born Young.
ster-the hero of our sketch. In his infancy he was
fed on hog and hominy, bear meat, and the flesh Of
such wild varmints' as were caught in the woods
AT II years of age he was put out to work with a
neighbor as farm boy and drove oxen, hoed corn,
raised tobacco in summer. cured it and priced it in
the winter till he seventeen years old when he
took to making brick to which he added the profess
sion of carpenter and by these successive steps in
mechanical arts, he became able by his own unas-
sisted skill, to house from the clay-pt or from
the stump and complete it in ali parts, and to do it,
too, In manner that none of his competitors could
surpass His PANEL doors are to this day the won
der and admiration of all the country in which they
continue to swing on their hinges. He never saw
the inside of school house church, till he was Is
years old.
By the assistance Of an old man in the neighbor-
mood he learned during the winter evenings read
and write, when a farm boy. Having achieved these
valuable acquisitions by the aid OF another, all his
other education has been the fruit of his appi-
cations and perseverance. At the age of twenty -one
he conceived the idea OF fitting himself for the prac-
ce of the law. He at first procured an old copy OF
Blackstone and having studied in his researches in
to other elementary works. And having thus, by
great diligence acquired the rudiments of his pro-
fession, he met with old lawyer who had quit
practice, or whose practice had quit him. with whom
he made bargain for his scanty library, for which
he was to pay $3.50 in carpenters work, and the
chief pat Of the job to be done payment of those
Odd musty books, was dressing and laying down an
oak floor or floors, for SO per square of 10 feet.
The library paid for, our hero dropped the adze
plane and trowel, and after hear of him as
of the most prominent members OF the, ssissip-
pi bar, and able statesman and orator. II heard
him one day." says one, make two speeches in
cesson, of three hours in length each to the
dance, and not movement testified any WEAKNESS
on the part of single auditor, and during their de-
livery, the assembly seemed swayed by the orator,
as reeds by the wind
That poor farm boy is at the present time at Wash
ngton, a member oil Congress from Mississippi. His
name is Patrick w. Tompkins He is Q self made
man, and his history shows what humble boy can
do, when he determines to TRY.
