PrOtractcd Credits.

Amongst all the drawbacks TO a thrivin!
condition of business in a community
there is none greater than the habit of Civ
ing and taking very long credits. Wherev
er this pernicious system has unhappily
taken root, look out for high prices, slack
trade, hard times and decreasing popula
ton. Some evils have their countervail
ing advantages, but the practice of extend
inc protractcd credits has not single re,
deeming quality. 1t is bad for the credit.
or and worse for the debtor, for It's natural
tendency is to induce extravaganza, care,
lessness, aud want of thrift; often leading
to downright bankruptcy.
Nothing is more stimulating to the ener-
GIGS of business man, no matter what his
occupation, than the welI-founded hope Of
a fair fecompense, but if the recompense
is 10 be delayed two, three, four or more
wears, it altogether loses its character and

the benefit of much capital that would flow
into business channels. giving Increased
employment and creating new wealth.
The system We are deploring keeps caPf
tai in strong boxes, sends it away to dis
tant communities, or invests it in large
tracts of land, destined to be imperfectly
cultivated.
We shall not expatiate upon the moral
aspect of over-long credits. They are IN
consistent with Justice and honor, and
ought never to find encouragement amongst
people of spirit and hig h-toned sentl-
ments. A change from the unjust and i'm
polite long-credit system TO its opposite,
would he pouring new blood into Our bust
ness channels, terminating trade IN every
vein and nerve, and giving an improved
appearance TO all the relations of social
life. TO effect this benclicent change re-

enjoy. 1t only demands litte-vcry

each individual, a single effort to shake
manluly off a besetling moral weakness.
We do trust these few remarks will
lie adj, at the very least, 10 some wholesome
reflection on this important topic, feeling
certain that such reflection must, sooner or
later, end in good.

Plank Roads.

These roads have been constructed in
n. York and are very much admired by
the people of that State so much so, in
deed, that not less than one thousand miles
of them, in the aggregate, arc now in use,
and they are being rapidly extended. The
cost of making is about t1CO thousand dot
lars per mile, and some Of them pay back
twenty and twenty-five per cent. in annu-
al dividends upon the amount invested in
Ithem.-HagerstOrn Herald
We have had our eye on this subject
for some time. There is a road from this
town to the County Seat hard to beat in
the way of mud in wet, or dust in dry
weather. 1t is very much travelled, and
offers general grade far superior TO the
Smithield turnpike, IA sort of coarse-rbbed
corduroy, by the way,) along which we
think plank track might be laid, after
while, to grca, public advantage. Com
meet the ShephcrdStown Bridge with
Charlestown by plank road, continue
this on to Berryville and thence forward
up the Valley, and a system of commune
cation will have been made of no mean
character, and agreeable to travel at all
times and seasons. We think it likely
such line of road would make this great
point of deposit Of wheat, -four and Valley
produce for transportation down the canal.
as well as for supplying the Valley itself
with Cumberland coal, and heavy goods
from below.

A Beautiful AlIcgory,

A traveller who spent some time in Turkey,
relates beautiful parable which was told
him by dervish, and which seemed even
more beautiful than Sterne's celebrated fig
ure ofihe accusing spirit and recording an
gel:
"EveIy man." said the dervise, "has two
angels, one on his right shoulder and one
on his left when he does anything good, tho
angel on his right S oulder writes it down
and seals it, because, what has once been
we'll done, is done forever. When he docs
evil, the angel on the left arm writes it down
---he waits till midnight: if, before that time
the man bows bis head and exclaims, "Gra-
cious Allah! have sinned-forgivc me ~
The angel rubs il out; but if not, at midnight
he seals it, aud tho angel on the right shoul-
der weeps" "
