INCREASE OF BusINEss.--An old merchant has
just told US some curious facts, that show a
change of the mode of doing business, that is
now silently going on, as well as its great in
crease in this city. Some fifteen or twenty
years ago, the banking business of Cincinnati
was pretty much all done by the Branch Of the
Bank of the United States and it was men
toned as remarkable circumstance, that sew
enty-two notes fell due at that bank in one day.
an astonishing number for those times But
times have changed, as is illustrated by the
fact that one hundred and twenty-five notes
matured at one private banking house in this
city last Saturday, as well as a proportionably
large number at the other private and incor-
porated banks-probably not less than eight or
nine hundred in all, land they were pretty much
all paid, too. Cincinnati Gazette.

From the days busy scenes calmly rest,
Sweet thoughts of home find entrance to my breast
VI home and thee; and, with gentle power, .l...
Mem'ry doth bring to mind each happy hour
My childhood knew, whom on my spirit bright
Beamed, every day, thy loving eyes pure light,
AS starlight beams upon the tender flower.
And though from thee my lot has been to roam,
Whene'er fair Hesperus adorns the night
It doth recall the milder, dearer light
That shone the fairest in the sky Of home; IL i ..
And still my spirit owns its soothing sway, "a ...
And stal will own until hfe's latest day!

and greatly oblige one who has been boy?
BOYS OUT AFTER NIGHTTALL.-I have been
an observer, as am sympathizing lover, of
boys. l like to see them happy, cheerful,
geesome. am not willing that they be
cheated out of the rightful heritage of youth
Indeed, cannot understand how high-toned,
useful man can be the ripened fruit of boy
who has not enjoyed a fair share Of the glad
privileges due to youth. But while | watch
with jealous eye all rights and customs which
ntrench upon the proper rights of boys, l am
equally apprehensive lest parents who are not
forethoughtful, and who have not habituated
themselves to close observation upon this sub
ject permit their sons indulgences which are
almost certain to result in their decentralization,
if not in their total ruin and among the habits
which have observed as tending most surely
to ruin, / know of none more prominent than
that of parents permitting their sons to be in The
street after highttaH.
1t is ruinous to their morals in all instances.
They acquire, under the cover of night, an un-
healthful state Of mind; bad, vulgar, immoral
and profane language, obscene practices, Grim
inal sentiments, a lawless and riotous bearing.
Indeed it is in the street after nghtfaI that the
boys principally acquire the education of the
bad, and capacity for becoming rowdy, disso-
lutte, criminal men. Parents should in this par
tcular have a rigid and infexible rule that
never will permit son. under any circumstan-
ces whatever, to 60 in the streets after night
| fall, with a view of engaging in out-of-dooI
sports, or, meet other boys for social or chance
occupation. A rigid rule of this kind, invari-
ably adhered to, will soon deaden the desire for
such dangerous practices. .s.
Boys should be taught to have pleasures
around the family eentre-table, in reading, in
conversation, and in quiet amusoments. Boys,
gentlemen's sons, are seen in the streets after
nightfal behaving in manner entirely de-
structive of all good morals. Fathers and mo
thers, keep your children home at night, ant
see that you take pains to make your homes
| pleasant, attractive, and profitable to them
and, above all, with view of their security
| from future destruction, let them not become
while forming their characters for life, so ac-
customed to disregard the moral sense of shame
as to openly violate the Sabbath day in the street
pastimes during its day or evening hours.
