pOndent remarks, too good to be Ost.'-EogIs.
GOLD DEBTORS PAY THAT THOU OwEsT!
Twice have called and ye would not listen,
thrice and ye would not hearken unto me. Now
let it be proclaimed in the country around about
that may be found sitting at the receipt of
customs from the time Of the sending forth of
this my Epistle until the 18th day of the first
month when the names Of all ye that owe me
even from the least unto the greatest will be
handed over to the Scribe, whose hand writing
upon the wall will bear witness to your default
and he that hath authority among men will say
Greeting unto you all, and there will be no re-
spect of persons. The wicked borrow but pay
not again. Some men are prone to borrow, some
twenty, some thirty pieces Of silver whose pay
day is numbered among the days beyond the
food All such should bring forth their sub
stance or they will be sued unto the law. SAY
again unto each of you, pay thatthOu OWest"

A KIND word, good act, cheerful smile,-
what sunshine they bring with them especially
70 the sorrowing heart. How much by these we
may add to the sum of human happiness, and to
the pleasant memories of those who meet us in
lite'e journey. 1t is these little kindnesses these
gentle Offices of courtesy and affection, that
make up half the real blessedDess Of life. And
they cost SO little They ask so small portion
Of our time and labor so little sacrifice of ouI
convenience or comfort. And, then, it is just ai
easy to be kind as to be unkind; to do good
action as bad one to speak mildly as harshly
and it is SO much more pleasant. 1t has beer
justly said
" Since trifes make the sum Of human things,
And half our miseries from foibes springs;
Since Iife's best gifts consist in peace and ease,
And few NAY save serve, but all may please,
Oh let the ungentle spirit learn from hence,
small unkindness is q great offence"

perfect deliberation--no alIusion is found on
their records to the general alarm extending
thirty miles in every direction. They even make
no mention Of the death of Warren, till three
days after the fight, and then only in connection
with nominating his successor =.
This is accounted for by the policy Of the
times, it being considered unnecessary to,niake
any parade for the death of man dying for his
country. This Congress were in fact the com
mander in.chief of an army. They gave all
military directions, till Washingtonxeached the
camp. What is equally singular, the records Of
the General Congress, at Philadelphia, arc, not
only equally free from all boasting on account Of
the wonderful victory, but they even omit mir
and just account of American bravery. The
enemy construed this extreme modesty into fear.
Even their addresses, both to the army and to the
enemy, we're equally free from ostentation.-.N.

Night coming oil, the men made fire, and re-

Next morning, they renewed the pursuit, and
in wind-fall, got within few feet of the old
panther, when she ran off at full speed. Some
time after, they came on hole in which the
panther had entered. The dog was in too, a
part of the way, and barking at her. Here, nine

and for which he offered areward of forty thou

claimed by very honest and poor old man ; but
the Armenian, in order to escape payment, then
declared that the portfolio also contained very
valuable ring, which the old man must have
stolen. The affair was brought before the Sui
TAM who, having ascertained the honesty Of the
old man, and the well-known ayarice Of his nd-

that his portfolio contained ring. this could not
be the one he had lost and that he had better re-
turn it to the old man and continue to dyertise

The newly elected Wing City Convention as
sembled yesterday and chose the following per-
manent officers for the year: President. DR.. John
L. Yeates; Vice Presidents, John Hughes, j. ID.
Murphy, sr., Colonel J. e. Winde, William ii.
Travers, and William G. Brown; Secretaries, J.
Nj. Kimberly, William II. Hayward; Treasurer,
DR.. J. II. Thomas. The members well as officers
of this convention have been selected with special
reference to their energetic devotion to Wing prin
cples, and there is no doubt but that they will
duct the fall campaign with energy that cannot
fail the electoral vote of the State for the
Wing nominee for President
There is much speculation here with regard to
who will receive the appointment Of United States
district judge in place of Judge Heath.
Lola Montez will make her first appearance to-
night at the Holiday Street Theatre; tickets 81
double the usual price.
The telegraph brings a rumor from Kentucky
that the Wing Convention of that State has de-
cared its preference for Mr.. Film ore AZ the Wing
candidate for the Presidency; thus following thu
lead of Maryland. This declaration of Kentucky
will be regarded to some extent an indication of
the views OF Mr.. Clay.
In the Baltimore market yesterday there were
GOO bbls. Howard street -four sold at 81 81. and
later in the day, 100 bbls. more at 81 25. To-day

old settled, productive country, and opens an out

The road brings the business and travel of
the great Ohio valley within FIVE ak hours die
lance Of the vast lake chain, and when the CT ten
sion to Wheeling is completed, few railways in the
Union will possess the advantages Of the road Just
opened.
"The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will be com
pleted to Wheeling by the first OF January, 1853,
and il is very desirable that the Wesville and
Wheeling extensions should be ready for business
about the same time"
The distance between Wheeling and Wellsville
s about forty miles; and, with this short link com
peted, Baltimore will command easy and direct
intercourse with the lake.
