ARREST AT A BANK FOR DEMANDING

ARREST AT BANK FOR DEMANDING
SPECIE FOR BANK NoTEs.-A case was
recently on trial in New York to recover
damages, laid at $4,000, for the alleged
assault and battery on the person of the plain
tiff and for causing certain agents of the de-
PENDANTS to seize the person Of the plaintiff,
and take him to police station for demand
ing specie for country bank notes at bank,
the authorized agent of the country banks
The defendants being the officers of the bank,
and they considering that the demand for
specie was an interference with their regular
business, sent for police officer. and gave
the plaintiff into his custody, by whom he
was taken to prison and detained three days.
1t was alleged by the defendants that the
plaintiff brought large bundle of notes to
the bank after pumping water on them so
that there would be difficulty in separating
them, and demanding specie dollar by dol.
lar, and telling the defendants to take their
one-fourth per cent, discount out of EACH,
The jury returned verdict for the plaintiff,
giving $500 damages. esr

PRM PEoFLE.-There is a set of people,
says DR.. Chalmers, whom | cannot BEAR the
pinks of fashionable propriety--whose eve
ry word is precise, and whose every move
ment is unexceptionable +; but who though
well versed in all the categories of polite
behavior, have not a particle of soul or of
cordiality about them We allow that their
manners may be abundantly correct. There
may be elegance in every gesture, and
gracefulness in every position: not a smile
out Of place, and not a step that would not
bear the measurement OF the severest scru-
tiny This is all very fine: but what want
is the heart and the gaiety of social inter-
coursc-the frankness that spreads ease and
animation--the eye that speaks afability to
all, that chases timidity from every bosom,
and tells every man in the company to be
confident and happy. This is what con-
ceive to be the virtue of the text, and not
the sickening formality Of those who walk
by rule, and would reduce the whole of hu-
man life to wire-bound system of misery
and constraint
Washington telegraph., 1852-11-24
Human Love.

Oh! if there is one law above the rest,
Written in Wisdom-if there is word
That would trace as with pen of fire
Upon the unsuilied temper of child
If there is anything that keeps the mind
Open to angel visits, and repels
The ministry of ill-'tis human lone!
God has made nothing worthy of contempt.
The smallest pebble in the well of Truth
IIs-' i"s f-~~-i;er oaninps and will stand
When mans best monuments wear fast away
The law of Heaven is Love-and tho its name
Has been usurped by passion, and profaned
To its unholy uses through all time,
Still, the external principle is pure
And in these deep affections that we feel,
,Omnipotent within us, eau we see
The lavished measure in which 10 ge is given.
And in the yearning tenderness of child,
For every bird that sings above its head,
And every creature feeding on the hills,
And every tree, and flower, and running brook
We see how everything was made to love,
And how they err, who in world like this
Find anything to hate but human pride.
Washington telegraph., 1852-11-24

WORTH MIKES THE MAN.-When one
man is worth thousand dollars, and anoth-
er ten thousand, We usually say the latter is
worth ten tines as much as the former
Now il this means nothing more than simp-
ly that one has ten times as much property
as the other, our moments would be truly
ill-spens in ovilling at the expression.-
But when PEOPLE estimate the worth of a
man by the weight Of his purse, the amount
of his stock, Or the number OF his houses,
without examining either the furniture of
his head OF tie qualities of his heart, com
mon sense smiles at the delusion and deigns
not to correct the error. Is the man a mere
cipher all this time Shall he not be rated
as high as rhe purse or chest which contains
the common standard Of his worth? May
none Of the requirements of art, nor the en-
dowmeDts Of nature have the honor of be-
ing inentoried with the stock of his farm.
his merchandise, or his household furniture?
Strange to say, such is scarcely ever the
case
