In this, as well as in similar skirmishes, the in

There is some agitation in the public mind North
In relation to the issues of the New York Stale
banks, the New Jersey Banks, and the State Bank

The Baltimore Sun, noticing these things, says:
s. With regard to the New jersey banks see it
stated that the Commercial Bank of Perth AmbOy
will probably be worth SO GO cents in the dollar.
We are inclined to credit this statement, inasmuch
as there does not appear at present any for The
failure, beyond the hasty action of the Mechanics

the cash of the bank some $500, and which there

GEMS OF THoUGnr. Those who would go to
heaven when they die, must begin their heaven
while they live.
Wherever the sentiment of right comes in, it
takes precedence of everything else.
What is not good for virtue is not good for
knowledge.
More pleasing than the dew-drops that sparkle
upon roses, the tears that pity gathers upon the
cheek of beauty.
Stand upon the edge of this world, ready to take
wing, having your feet earth, your eyes and
heart in heaven.
If man would keep both integrity and indie
pendence free from temptation let him keep out of
debt. DIR. Franklin says, =" 1t is hard for an empty
bag to stand upright"
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices duties,
but of little things, in which smiles and kindness
and small obligations given habitually, what
win and preserve the heart, and secure comfort.
Kind words do not cost much. They never
blister the tongue or lips. And we have never
heard of any mental trouble arising from this quar-
ter. Though they do not cost much, yet they &C
complsh much.
In whatever you engage, pursue it with stead
mess of purpose, as though you were determined to
succeed. A vacillating mind never accomplished
any thing worth naming. There is nothing like
fixed, steady aim. 1t dignifes your nature and in
sures your success.

The New York Express gives the importations of

thing in this excite regret alarm! The increased
importa,ions have hardly kept pace with the growth
of the couny-they have gone, for instance, in one
month, but a little over 100000 beyond the same

STRANGE CoUTsH1P. Some time ago shoema-
ker in Harris, being in want of a wife, advertised
for one and, at the time and place appointed, was
met by a female. Both were in earnest. The
suitor, however, unlucily seemed to be of the
opinion that King Pedro was with regard to his
wife, Mary of Arragon, that she was not so hand
some as she might be good, so their meeting ended
in mutual disappointment. The man advertised
second time, appointing different place for the
meeting, and varying the words of the advertise
ment. He met the same lady, they recognised
each other could not choose but smile at the recog
milton, and perhaps neither of them could choose
but sigh. The persevering bachelor tried his lot
third time, and at a third place Of appointment he
met the equally perseverng spinster. AT this meet
ing neither could help laughing. They began to
converse in good humor, and the conversation be-
came so agreeable on both sides, and the circum
view led to their marriage. Inverness Courier.
