THE MooN.-Week before last the moon was SO
the sun seemed to have stayed counting, in ad-
miration Of the landscape go, beated, the light
so day-like. During the opaque canopy Of the last
week the nights were dark those of the prece-
ding week luminous. The moon too was in its
last quarter. Somebody exclaims allow melan-
choly the moon must feel when she has enjoyed the
ullness Of prosperity and got reduced to the last oar

TIME o'DAY.-''IIow late is it Bill"
"l.ook at the boss, and see fhc is drunk yet; il
he isn't it can't be much past eleven"

Splendid! they regulate the town clock by his

The above anecdotc reminds Of The G,vorite Jest,
yet told at the Centni House, (now kept by Mr..
Button, Charley is out,) Of the boarder who went
ont in the night to the time o'day on the sun dial
opposite to that house, which, by the way, is always
Eavorite with the members Of the Legislature
NEW CHARACTER.-Lord Hardy was so much
much addicted TO the Of the bottle as 10 be always
under the influence Of liquor previous to a masquer-
ade night he inquired Of Foote what new character
he ought to appear in. ''New character" said the
other, "suppose you go sober, nv lordP' He took
the hint OF the comedian. and actually reformed.
When some OF cur rowdies have n bawl and tell
each other their f,ngs, they might do good by Ia
king the above suggestion for q text as we do for a
homily. Below, insert the experience Of Will
lam Cobbett, a water drinker. If men who now
live in the unnatural excitement of ardent spirits
could contrive by form Of self-inastcry to rid
themselves of the thirst which constantly cries give,
no doubt they would enjoy longer and IA happier
life than they can now nationally expect to enjoy
This thirst is disease, and is the appetite of a
dyspcptic for food, disease The victims of eithcr
disease, are equally fit subjects Of our kincst synpa-
tines, and not Of our Judge Hayner has de-
cided that we have no liquor law How well would
be if we could be ga law unto ourselves"
Goblet thus describes his own expcriencc:-

hints about Webster's influence in New England,
Silver Greyisn in New York, Nativisrn in Pennsyl-

STEALING SERMoNs.-Mr. Webster in his srca,
India Rubber speech Trenton. related the following
anccdote:
MAY it please your hOnors, remember having
heard anecdote of a celebrated divine Dr. south
man of great learning and virtue. He relieved
himself OF his classical duties incog. lie wen. into
country church in the North of England one Sab
bath morning. and heard the rector read sermon
In coming trom the church. the rector suspected him
TO be a brother Of the ministry, and spoke Ia him.
He received the reCtors COurtesies ard thanked
HIM for the very ediiying sermon he had preached.
suggesting that it must have been the result of rood
deal of labor. "Oh no." said the rector; sswe turn
of these things rapidly. On Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning, produced this dscourse.'' ais
that possible, sir - said DR.. South; ''it took me
three weeks to write that very sermon" ssYournanc
is Or. Souh!" said the rector. sit is SIR, said
DR.. South. ''Thcn," said the rector 81 have ONLY
to say that am not ashamed to preach Dr.. Sou,h's
sermons anywhere"
Some years ago a sco''rcd BROTHER we believe
from Liberia, appeared in this CITY, well recommend
ed, and an appointment WAS made for him to preach
in the vosry Of the First Baptist church. in the cv-
enirg. Considerable interest was manifested in him.
as tho good people expected to obtain some interest
ing information touching the prospects Of the African
colonization. After the preliminary services the
reverend gentleman arose and delivered, verbatim,
DR.. Way lands sermon on the dignity If the mission

which we believe DIR. Wayland did not employ

OPPOSITION OF A SMALL NoTE CURRENCY.-
The New York Courier gives the following Illus
traton If the evils Of small cyculation and Of
the manner in which brokers and bankers manage 70
shave all parties by means Of such a circulation.
The practice now is 10 establish % Il banking IN
si:u:ion in place fcnote-say in Indiana Hi
nois-that il will not pay TO follow 1t up for specie
and then deal the notes at haf per discount
to employers Saturday, and buy them back from
trat!csmen Monday, at one per cent. Indeed the
poor mechanic and laborcr is often compelled to sell
his money at shave the very day that he receives
it; very many establishments have always refused
the Wild cat currency in question. Every man who
receives one Of these bank bills, helps to sustain
system which }, is the interest of all to break up In
the case OF the late Bank of the Union we discharc
ed our duty in warning the public of its character on
the first DAY that its bills appeared in this CITY, PIE
dieting the disastrous result which has occurred
II is strange 10 what litteness men will s,oop 10
rob a neie hhor in the matter Of discount. We have
heard Of man who makes it practice to carry SO
bills on a certain bank, which he buys at two Der
cent. discount. He purchases an article for few
,hilhngs and receives g in good money as change
Adding to 80 he buys another S10bill for 50 so:
thus making twenty per cent. on each dollar that he
spends.

ThEss'-I nc UsII'1ha JcIeTsOnlan, says:
Had those who orig ina'ed the Express business
been told that hardly dozen years would eiapse be-
!ere imtators of their enterprise would be found, who
can derive profit from line leading hundreds of
miles into northern wilderness, to n spot where
only five years since the Sioux Lands divided the s,l-
premacy with a weak garrison, and where white
man. except clad in regimentals or in the leggines
and hunting shirt Of trappcr trader, rarely
seen, their faith would have been staggered. Bat,
this line is regularly traverscd BY Express messen-
gers, and the business, assured, is not without
profit.

The CURFEw Tolls, &c.-No;hng could mo.e
fully OF beautifully illustrate the finer traits of Mr.
Webster's character than the simple fact that when
the hour OF his own dissolution was al hand, his mind
should recur to of the beautiful creations of
poetry that could, without any improprc;y be applied,
to himself How slnsu!arly appropriate are the last
two staizas to the great stalesmans dying moments
The curfew tolls the knell of parting lav
The lowing herd winds slowly DER the lea
The rloughman homewaid piods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me
Now fades the glin,nering landscape on the sight
And all the air Il solemn stiffness holds
Save where the beetle wheels his dronng flirht.
And drowsy tinkIngs u!l the distant folds
Beneath those rugged elms, that view trees shade,
Where heavcs the turf in MANY a m,oulerinc hcap
Each in his narrow cell forever laid,
The rude forctathcrs of the hamlet slccp
The boast Of hera!dry, the ponp of power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Await alike the inevitable hour;
The paths Of glory lead but to the grave.
