Tfac Creditors of Texas.

A lengthy Treasury Circular is publish
ed in the Washington papers, together
with a correspondence between that de-
partment and the Comptroller Of Texas,
which is both interesting and important to
those having claims on that State, in con-
nection with the indemnify she is to receive
from the United States; under the act Of the
last Congress, for settling her boundary
The circular speaks of numerous letters
having been received from the creditors,
and says
''Thc general impression Of the wri-
tiers of the letter thus received appears to
be that this Department will pay from the
reserved five millions the amount due to
those creditors who hold that portion Of
the debt for which the duties on imports
were pledged, after they had signed and
filed their release Of the United States /;
instead of which, so soon as all such cred
itors have executed the releases aforesaid,
the reserved five millions arc then to be
issued 10 Teras, when all further action BY
this Department respecting it will cease,
and the creditors are to look to Texas for
the settlement of their respective claims"

yuigaTity.

We would guard the young against the
use Of every word that's not perfectly
proper. Use no profane expressions-al-
lude to no sentences that will putto blush
the most sensitive You know not the
tendency of habitually using indecent and
proiane language. 1t may never be OBJ
liberated from your hearts. When you
grow up, youwilI find at your tongues end,
some expression which you would not use
for any money. 1t was one you learned
when you was quite young. But being
careful, you will save yourself deal Of
modification and sorrow. Good men have
been taken sick, and became delirious-
In these moments, they have used the most
vile and indecent language imaginable
When informed Of it, after a restoration to
health, they had no idea Of the pain they
had given their friends, and stated that
they had learned and repeated the express
sions in childhood, and though years had
passed since they had spoken bad word;
the early expressions had been indelibly
stamped upon the heart. Think of this,

How n Wife sent her Husband iss
"a hurry after pareg1ric.

We learn from reliable source, that
not many weeks since, married man liv-
ing in Charleston, went home rather unex-
pectedly one night, and on entering his ac-
customed room, found all in darkness; but
from the quiet brcathings Of the partner
of his cares and joys" he knew she was
there, and disrobed himself and was ready
to retire, when the wife awokc, and called
out as if alarmed, "Who's therel'
'lt's only me, my dear"
"What You my husband! did not ex-
pect-oh, I'm SO glad you've come-l'm
in such dreadful pain-do runto the a.
pothecary shop for little laudanum, or par
cgoric or peppermiat-oh dear, quick,
oh, OH ohl!" And the woman appeared
in such agony, that the husband became "a
larincd, and quickly donning some of his at
tire again, started without his coat, post
haste for the medicine Reaching the a.
pothecary, he procured the curatives, and
proceeded to pay for them. On feeling in
his pocket, he hauled ont what he had at
first considered u silver half but on exam
nation, it proved, to his amazemcnt, to be
a twenty dollar gold piece. Wondering
how such sum Of money came into his
pocket, he delved again, and lol another
eagle appeared; and again was the opera
ton repeated, and again with similar re-
suits, so that he found himselfthe mysteri-
Gus posscssor of two hundred dollars in
gold, when he thought lie was not worth
as many cents.
Pleased, gratifed,yet nevertheless, lit
tie alarmed and astonishcd at this sudden
windfall, our hero returned hurriedly to
his domici to dose his better half and to
acquaint her with his most remarkable
good fortune. Scarcely had he enter
ed the room, however, before he found that
his lovely wife had entirely recovered, and
atthe same time, the astounding fact was
made known that he had on another mans
pantaloons. Almost paralized with this
discovery, he yet managed 10 examine fur
ther, and discovered that his ''inexpressi-
bles" We're missing, together with his coat
but in place ofthe latter, an elegant broad
cloth garment was left, which from the a.
mount of guilt buttons, and the particular
devices upon them, rendered it pretty GER
tain that the rightful owner belonged to
Uncle Sans Naval service.
What transpired afterwards we do not
know, but the sense ofthe community is
somewhat shocked (Ky.) Ne,os.
