democratic institution:
ITO what end, and for purpose, should we
get rid of the Sub Treasury: II has, thus far.
with all its faults and trials, done its duty
faithfully The country has passed throug;I
an unexpected war, involving an immense ex-
pendture of treasure, without wavering; and
with similar soundness in the movements OF
our monetary affairs. we have with perfect
regularity and calmness preserved ourselves
through period of great speculative excite
ment. In my judgment, had we been deprived OF
the controlling interference Of this power, a
wild scene of ruinous extravaganza would have
been exhibited which like the mania of OF l836,
would have terminated in general and disgrace
full bankruptcy. The system has acted con-
servatively, through the natural force OF its in
herent power to check expansion The i'm
portation of twenty millions of dollars, the
price of our bread. stuffs, would have inflated
the currency 10 such an extent, had the Banks
been at liberty, that by this time, we should
either have failed to perform our contracts, or
have returned to Europe double the amount of
specie We extracted. The Sub-Treasury kept
down the value of foreign merchandise TO spe.

vARIETY-HARM0NY;

30 harmonious is the mind of God, that all
his works bear the same impress; so essen
tial is variety to harmony, that we behold II
in all Of them, no matter whether our ewes
be directed beneath, around, or above us:
The tiny insect that crawls at our feet-zthe
majestic eagle that basks his gaudy plumage
in the sun beams-the delicate flower that
scents the air--the giant oak that stands dis:
tinguished amongst the other trees Of the
forest, together with the many twinkling stars
that bespangle the canopy above us, and the
sun that rises in The east and journeys thrc'
the heavens, and finally sinks into the western
main, all are different and harmonious in
themselves and in the relations which they
sustain 10 the other parts of creation. eq9
The wild rose with its many beautiful col:
ored petals and systematically arranged
stamina-the flower-bed with its varigated
aspect-ihe chipping of the merry songstef OF
the air-ihe far winding river-the story tel

scape-the ripping of the rivulet, the roaring
of the cataract, the bowling of the TEMPEST
the pealing of the thunder, are not only har-
monious in themselves. but have a cores:
ponding harmony in man. His mind is com:
posed oil faculties through which all nature
speaks yarously and harmoniously. Hence,
as the celebrated Rauch well remarks in his
psychology, "man is the centre Of nature,
the echo of the universe. 1.-The painter

it expression upon his canvas The poet OBJ:
serves the same and expresses it in his song !;
the naturalist classiies the different objects
which constitute it; and the philosopher search.
es out the life, the principle, which binds
them together in one harmonious whole.
Nature, however, does not simply find con.
seriousness in The personality Of man, and dis.
close the fact, that, as its diversified charac:
ter is harmonious in itself so, also, 1t has
corresponding harmony IN the human mind,
and stop there, bu, it even leads us up to God
himself 81
How beautiful and perfect Is creation as
presented TO us under this view. From the
smallest plant up TO the banan tree, which

sorium, of which five thousand millions may
live in one drop Of water up ID the luminous
planets, which revolve above us,--nay, from
the minutest atom up TO God, all, all, is har'
mcny. ....... ....
How eleyated-how ma ajestic-how god.
! like, is the station which man thus comes
to occupy in the unverse,-the connecting
link between nature and the Deity.
Thus we perceive, however various nature
may appear 10 US, that it is still Harmonious,
and not combination of divers parts, which;
have no conneXion with each other at all
like mass of inorganic matter, where the
part is as perfect as the whole. c. A.

GENTILITY'S POOR.
T.erHl h-
BY MRS. NJ. Z. HEWITT.

Oh ! not the beggar who seeks your door,
| In his tatters, unshamed, bedight;
But Gentility's sensitive, suffering poor
Shall waken my sorg 10 night .Irf-
For boldly the begger may wear his rags
In the crowded and sunit street;
And bold at your portal he knocks, and begs
For raiment and food to eat.
| know he is friendless and starved and cold,
And the storm whistles through the chinks
But never he hoardeth his want untold,
Nor fears what his neighbor thinks.
And never he shrinks in the worlds turmoil,
Where Gentility strives for bread;
And nothing he knows of the wearisome toll
Of the secret needle and thread.
The beggar is houseles., outcast, fororn,
Too wretched to need your curse;
But he knows not the dun and fears not the
scorn 4T.
That waits on an empty purse.
The beggar is lean--want maketh him so,
Pain causes his sinews to shrink;
But nothing he recks of the brainwasting
flow, ,E
or Poverty's pen and ink.
Alas for the needless, pride restrained
From the worldly whose sneer we dread
For the pride, like the ancient criminal,
chained
The living unto the dead. '.'.
Alas alas for Gen,lity's heir,
Untulored in work day thrift,
Whose portion is poverty, striving and care,
And to live by making shift.

DOG THAT CHEws TOBACCO.

A friend has just related to US curious
fact in natural history, respecting dog. In
North Attleboro, Mass, there is kept in a
manufacturing establishment, a large mastiff,
who takes as much confer; with quid Of
tobacco, as does the mos! inveteratc lover OF
the weed, So habiluated has he became 10
its use, that he must have il, and will sit all
day in the centre Of the workshop chewing
away with great appetite and good relish.
He became thus much like man, by play.
ing when young, with cold sogers,n as the
ends OF segars are professionally termed. In
such play he would occasionally find a ESQ.
ger'' in his mouth, until taste was formed
for the tobacco which has since continued 10
increase, and now he is what he is. We be.
lieve this to be the only instance on record
of any animal but man, and one species Of
worm, using the weed from pure love of Il.

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.

AT Whitehaven, England recently, little
girl was crushed 10 death by q locomotive
which dashed into her fathers h)use.-The
circumstances are thus related in the report
of the inquest:
Shortly after leaving St. Bees the train
had TO descend an incline of something like
twelve feet into the town, and there being
hoar frost upon the rails whice rendered
them very slippery and caused the train 10 go
much faster than usual, the engine-driver at
tempted 10 reverse the engine, which is done
by fixing particular handle in a catch. The
handle, however, slipped back several times
out of lis place, until on nearing the station
at Whitehaven, seeing that an accident was
almost inevitable, the brakes were put on,
and the driver once more attempted 10 reverse
The engine, but in doing so the engine got
four strokes forward, and passing the station
ran through the outer wall of the house of
Mr.. Pennington, and through another wall
into his back parlor. The little girl, Jane
Pennington, was at the time sitting singing
in the kitchen, when the engine passed over
her, much mutilating her. and causing imme-
diate death The engine, on dashing into
the parlor, knocked the fre-grate out of IFS
place, throwing the burning contents over the
forehead and breast of little boy, John PEN
ningion, eight years old, the occupier's son,
who, however, is likely 10 recover, though
he will in all probability bear the marks for
life

Bright, shining one,
What seek ye from the fields OF air!
No evil thou has, done,
Thou hast 10 sins, no need of prayer.
Or didst thou think
To join with us, thy sinless praise,

That with our songs to Him, 'twould raise
Then list ye now
To hear our chant ascend on high,
List, fye wonld learn how
We, praise the God of earth and sky.
Nay, happy bird,
Be frightened not our songs of praise,
AS, yet thou hast not heard
Hark; list, and with ours, let thine raise.
Stay yet, oh stay
A little longer, guililess one,
Oh, be not thus away,
Our sacred task will soon be done.
Yet il thou will
Begone, bear these bur prayers above,
Then haste thy task fulfil,
And be the messenger of love.

How HOLLAND WAS GATHERED TOGETHER.
No description can convey the slightest no.
tiou of the way in which Holland has been
gathered, particle by particle, out of the
waste of waters, of the strange aspect of the
country, apd the incessant vigilance and
wondrous precautions by which it is preser-
we'd. Holland is, in the fullest sense, an al
luvion of the sea. 1t consists of sand and
mud rescued from the ocean and banked up
on all sides. Produced by the most deNte-
rous and indefatigable exerlions, it can be
maintained only artificial means If the ef-
forts by which it was redeemed from the
waters were 10 be relaxed, the ocean would
reassert its rights, and the whole Kingdom
would be submerged, The slightest acciden,
might sweep Holland into the deep. 1t was
once nearly undermined by an insect. In
deed, the necessity of destroying insects is
so urgent that the stork, great feeder upon
them, is actually held in veneration, and al
most every species of bird is religiously pro-
tected from injury. Bird-nestiug is strictly
prohibited by law. The drift of all this is
palpable enough. But il is curious that the
very existence OF a great country should de-
pend upon such guaraniees.-Be Benfiey's Ohs-

ThE PLANETARY SYSTEM, As 1T Is NOW UN-
pressed his opinion that it is impossible any
longer 10 attempt the explanation OF the move
ments of all the heavenly bodies by simple
attraction, as understood in the Newionan
theory, these comets, with their trains per-
versely turned from the sun, deranging sadly
our systematic views. Nor are these (writes
Humboldtl any constant relations between
the the distances of the planets from the cen
tral body round which they revolve and their
absolute magnitudes densites, times of ro-
tattn, eccentricities, and inclinations of or
bit or axis. We find Mars, though more dis
,ant from the sun than either the Earth or
Venus, inferior TO them In magnitude; Sa-
turn is less than Jupiter, and yet much larger
than Uranus. The zone of the telescope pla-
nets, which are so inconsiderable in point Of
volume viewed in the series of distances
commencing from The sun, comes next before
Jupiter, the greatest in size OF all the plane
tary bodies. Remarkable as is the small den
silly VI tuC SoloSSai tiuiicto VII uiS
,hest from the sun, yet neither inthis respect
can we recognise any regular succession.
Uranus appears 10 be denser than Saturn, and
(though tile inner group of planets differ but
little from each other in this particularly we
find both Venus and Mars less dense than
the Earth, which is situated between them
The time of rotation increases, on the whole
with increasing solar distance; but yet it i:
greater in Mars than in the Earth, and in Sa
turn that in Jupiter. Afte rother remarks o
the same character, he adds "The planetary
system, in iis relation of absolute magnitude

rotation, and different degrees of eccentricitS
of the orbits, has, to our apprehension, noihin:
more of natural necessity than The rela,iv,
