THE LEGISLATURE.

The most important action of the House of Dele.
gates during Monday Tuesday and Wednesday Of
last week, related to the subject of the rate of legal
interest The revised bill proposes great change
in the law OF usury, making all ercesS of interest
above six per cent illegal, except where the higher
rate is truly stated in the contract and is not more
than etght per GEM. AT Mr.. Conways notion the
exception was stricken out; so as simply to make
the excess above six per cent Illegal. This leaves
the contract valid for the principal and legal In
terest and constitutes very important change of
the present law.
On Thursday, the 18th, the House, after full de-
bate, rejected the amendments reported by select
committee, touching the rights Of married lgomen,

THE Gr,hNMoBE AND MARIANA

Letters were received in the city yesterday from
Rio, dated the 9TH of June, which bring intelligence
that the ships Glenmore and Mariana sailed from
that port for California on the 9TH. We learn that
the members of both companies embarked in high
spirits and good health. The only person we hear of
that lett either ship at Rio is Mr. j G. Oldner, who
went from Petersburg. We observe, by the ship news
from Valparaiso and Callao, that thirteen vessels Of
various classes took from 38 to 10 days to sail from
Rio to the former port, and four took from 65 to 10
days between Rio and the latter. By this time, it
may be fairly reckoned, therefore, that the Glenmore
and Mariana are not far short of Valparaiso

FMelay.-Never forsakc friend.
When enemies gather around-whcn
sickness falls on the heart when
the world is dark and cheerless--is
the time to try true friendship. 1le
heart that is touched with true gold,
will redouble its efforts when the
friend is sad and in trouble. Adver-
sity tries real friendship. They who
turn from the scene Of distress, be-
tray their hypocrisy, and prove that
interest only moves. If you have a
friend who loves you, who has stud
led your interests and happiness-be
sure to sustain him in adversely.
Let him feel that his former kindness
is apprec iated, and that his love vas
not thrown away. Real fidelity may
be rare, but it exists in the heart.
Who has not seen and felt its power /?
They only deny its worth and power,
who have never loved a friend, or
labored to make a friend happy.
The good and the kind, the affect
ionate and the virtuous, see and feel
the heavenly principle. They would
sacrifice wealth and honor to pro-
mote the happiness ofothers and in
return they receive the reward of
their love, by sympathizing hearts
and countless favors, when they
have been brought low by disease or
adversely.

BY ISRAEL"
To-day we see man whose mein
Tells Riches are his god;
And striving with his wealth is seen
Day after day TO plod
Thus hasting on soon life Is done;
Then lies he meath the sod;
His tomb may tell how vain one,
But where, then, is his god
To-day we see man for fame
Hard struggling mid liie's walks,
To give posierity his name
When after Death he stalks;
Thus on he'll stride, DER land and wave,
Till Death calls him away;
Ills name may live" Ambitions slave )"
Or, may not live day.
To-day we see another pass
How fair he walks the wayl
No wealth, no fame, from no such class
lie qinils his hfe away;
But, onward. he in good mood
Extends his hands to all
Clothes nakedncss, gives hunger food,
As natures want doth call
To-day we sec each man whose mein
Quick indicates his place:
And IN this day two mortals mean
To one OF christian grace:
Thus, thus we see, for see we can,
How vain men spend their years
In struggling the ambitious man,
When Death all from them tears.
Then, who is he, ms lifs doth close,
Who'd wish his life ngain--
Those years u. storms aud wreakiu! throes-
ii empires were his gain
Life is but bret and live we not
As we were made TO live,
Where rests the fault if we're forgot
When nought to man we give

Next day the purchaser called for
