GEN. CAsS.

Strenuous efforts are being mide in the
I.ocofoco party by the opponents of the
hero of The broken sword to defeat his
nomination for the Presidency. There is
SO much wrangliny upon the question, and
so many charges of serious nature pro-
dlced agairst each aspi.art BY the friends
Of other asprants, tha, j, is impossible ye,
to conjecture who will be put up as tar
get BY that party to be riddled by the balls
of the people.
A correspondent Of New York pape
writing from Washington, under date o
25th ult., says:
"Mr. Deans speech in the House, o.
Friday. is causing good deal of trouble
smons some OF the Presidential aspirants
|, is regarded as manifesto ot'the democ
racy Of New York, against Gen. Cass.-,
The Union, heretofore supposed TO be
Cassish, endorses the speech as an admra
BILE expose.
San anonymous haudbiil against Gen
Cass, showing why he could no, be elected
and bringing certain charges against him
has been circulated here, for few day
past. Its authorship has been traced to
Judge Lvnch. Of Pittsburgh, an agent Q
Mr.. Bachansn's."

YOUNG AGAIN.
By GEORGE CANNING HILL,

An old man sits in his high backed chair
Before an open door,
While the sun Of summer afternoon
Falls hot across the floor,
And the drowsy click of an ancient clock
Has notched the hour OF four.
A breeze blows in and breeze blows out
From the scented summer air,
And il futters now on his wrinkled brow,
And now II lifts his hair,
And the lcaden lid of his eye drops down,
And he sleeps in his high-backed chair.
The old man sleeps, and the old man dreams;
His head drops on his breast,
His hands relax their feeble hold,
And fall 10 his lap in rest:
The old man sleeps, and in sleep he dreams,
And in dreams again 10 blest.
The years unrcll their fearful scroll;
He 10 child again,
mothers tones are in his ear,
And drift across his brain:
He chases gsudy butterflies
Far down the rolling plain;
He plucks the wild.rose 10 the woods,
And gathers eglantine,
And holds the golden butter clps
Beneath his sisters chin,
And angles in the meadow brook
With bent and naked pin;
He loiters down the grassy lane
And by the brimmi ng pool,
And sigh escapes his parted lips
As he hears the bell for school
And he wishes il never were nine O'Clock
Aud the morning never were full.
A Mothers hand is pressed on his head,
Her kiss is on his brow
summer breeze blows in at the door
With toss OF leafy bough,
And the boy is a white haired man again,
And his eyes are fear: FILLED now.

We find the following in the Boston At
las, Of April 18th.
We learn, says the Journal, that our
neighbors, ]. w. Clark g. Co., in the con-
nectioa with the Southern and Western
branches of their house, have just organ
lied a Bank called Clark's Exchange Bank,
al Springfield, H., under the new Free
Banking law OF that State. They COM
mence with circulating notes TO the a
mount of $3.50 900, countcrsigned by the
Register, and issued against Illinois and
Missouri State Stocks deposited with tho
Treasurer of the State, as security for their
redemption. By this iudicious law the
State Of Illinois win furnish her citizens
with domestic currency most amply pro-
tected against loss; and greatly needed in
every section of her territory. When it is
remembered that there is not single Bank
in either of the three great and growing
States of Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, it
is easv to discover that Bank at CEN
trail point like Springfield, which isthe cap
ita Of the State, can hardly fail to answer
the double ohjec; Of public convenience and
private profit. We understand that Mr..
Ridgley, cashier of the late State Bank o
Illinois, is tote president ofthc new insti-
tuition. His Social position and well earn
ed financial reputation are sufficient
guarantee that the trust could not be placed

LEGAL ANEcDoTE.-lt is said that
Judge =, formerly the presiding
Justice of our Common Pleas, under the old
regime, was engaged at one time in trying
a criminal who had been stealing the goods
of merchant. His guilt was clearly es-
tablshed, but question arose as to the
value of the stolen articles, and on the de-
termination of their value depended, under
the statute, the fact whether il was grand
larceny, punishsble by imprisonment in
the Penitentiary, or petit larceny. pnnisha-
bio by confinement, in the county Jail and
by fine.
The jury, after being out for some time,
came into court for specific instructions,
saving, il the value of the goods were found
at their wholesale price, at which they
were purchased by the owner, it would
amount TO petit larceny only; but if found
At the retail price, it would be grand larce,
ny, and they wished 10 be informed as ,c
their duty in this respect.
Judge =, who was eminent for
his practical common sense, if no. for his
legal nt,ainments, charged the jury as fol
lows:
"Considering the way in which the pris
ouer obtained possession Of these goods,
do not think the State of Ohio could wei
afford to let him have them at less than the
retail prices"
The resul, Of the charge may be readily
imagined.

4 PRAYING MACHINE.

In the very curious and entertaining
little work, Tartary, Thibet, and China
by the French missionary, NJ. Hue, there
is an account of nj ode Of saying prayers
we'll established among the Mongo Bldd
hists, and even among the Lamas, their
priests, which must be deemed somewhat
more than ordinarily remarkable. The
BIddhists pray-as we, of a civilized land, f,

it, consisting of a sor, of wheel or cylinder
with written prayers pasted all over il;
which, being turned by hand, or in any
other convonien; way, and bringing, al
each upward rotation, a great number oi
supplications under the eye OF the god
Huddha, (which we suppose is the princi
pie OF the ,hing,) is believed to oify per
fectly sufficient substitute for the some
what more labo.ious practice Of praying
by word Of mouth. Nor is this all. The
reverend traveller ndds that nothing is more
