AMERICAN COMPETITION WITH ExaLAsD-A
writer. to whose compilations the Times gives
space and conspicuous position, has taken
more than ono opportunity of enlargng upon =
competition with which our merchants are
threatened in India and Asia on the part Of
American traders. The ships of the U. States
appear on the Mekran coast, as well as at Kutch,
Muscat, and other places, with various articles
which they barter for the produce of those coun-
tries, the American commodities being princi-
paly certain coarse cotton fabric, which they
call sheetiug and dowlas. The Americans APP
pear to -enloy particular advantage over our
traders-that of conducting their barter individ.
ually, in ships, which are independent, floating,
pushing shops, instead Of working by routine,
through large establishments at Bombay; and
thus they not only save expense but in such
particular transaction secure the largest amount
of profit.
Another advantage they have is expressed by
the political agent at Hutch, tho says of tho
sheeting. that it finds acceptance among the
people of the country, because it lasts longer
than the cloths imported from Bombay. This
indicates the true force Of the competition That .ps
haze to dread from the United States. If America
can cut us out in Iudia where occupy tho
entire country with our government and com-
merce, the ridicule and the disgrace would DO
greater than any which the most anti-commer.
cial country has incurred.
DUt L1eFe Is BOmelHlHS III ui1S superiority OF
tissue the manufactures in England. The
comparison is not made for the first time, not
only in cotton sheeting. 1t is reported from the
Hudson River Railway, that British iron rails
become in worse condition within twelve
months than American rails within number of
years. There may be exaggeration in this; bu,
we have had complaints of rails from our
our own official and scientific investigators who
have declared the bad make of our iron to be A
frequent source of accident. At the last meeting
OF the Sheffield Cutters, the Muster Cutler declared
that American Cutters rere cutting them ont in
kniues; knives of American make being prefer
red to ours, because the material does not give
way under those OF Sheffield are some-
times found to do.
In short, notwithstanding the short practice
and hasty habits of America, they are in some
branches of trade, earning the repute for ster
ling stuff and make which used to be our own
and if we suffer them to win that reputation
from us altogether, then indeed ace shall hare lost
than If India ANNEXED to-morrop.-Los-

The Widau.

1t was cold and bleak evening, in
most severe winter. The snow, driven
by the furious north wind, was piled into
broad and deep banks along our streets.
Few dared, or were willing to venture
abroad. 1t was night which the poor
will not soon forget.
In most miserable and shattered ten
ement, somewhat remote from any other
habitation, there then resided an aged
widow, all alone, and yet not alone.
During the weary day, in her excess
i've weakness, she had been unable to
step beyond her door stone, or to CON-
municate her wants to any friend. Her
last morsel of bread had been long since
consumed, and none needed her destitu-
ton. She sat at evening, by her small
fire, half famished with hunger-from ex-
haustion unable to sleep-preparing to
meet the dreadful fate from which she
knew not how she should be spared.
She had prayed that morning, in full
faith, "Giye me this day my daily bread"
but the shadows of the evening had de-
scended upon her, and her faithful prayer
had not been answered.
While such thoughts were passing
through her weary mi nd, she heard the
door suddenly open, and as suddenly
shut again, and found deposited in her
entry, by an unknown hand, basket
crowded with all those articles of CON-
Portable food, which had all the sweet
ness OF mama to her.
What were her feelings on that night,
God only knows; but they were such as
rise up to him-the great deliverer
and provider-from ten thousand hearts
every day.
Many days elapsed before the widow
learned through what messenger God
had sent TO her that timely aid. II was
the impulse OF little child, who, on that
dismal night, seated at the cheerful fire.
side Of her home, was led to express the
generous wish that that poor widow,
whom she had sometimes visited, could
share some Of her numerous comforts
and good cheer. Her parents followed
out the benevolent suggestion, and Y
servant was soon dispatched to her mean
abode with plentiful supply.
What beautiful glimpse of the chai n
OF causes, all fastened at the throne OF
God! An angel, with noiseless wing,
came down and stirred the peace ful
breast of a pure-hearted child, and W it'll
no pomp or circumstance of an outward
miracle the widows prayer was answer

How TO detect Counterfcit..

1. Examine the appearance of bill
the genuine have general dark neat ap-
pearance.
2. Examine the vignette, or picture in
the middle Of the top; see if the sky or
background looks clear and transparent
or soft and even, and not scratchy.
3. Examine well the face; see ifthe ex-
pressions are distinct and easy, natural
and life-like; particularly the eyes.
q. See il the drapery or dress fits well
looks natural and easy, shows the folds
distinctly.
8. Examine the ne dallion, ruling and
heads, and circular ornaments around
the figures, &c. See If they are regular,
smooth, and uniform; not scratchy.-
This work in the genuine looks as if raj
sed on the paper, and cannot be perfect
ly initiated.
6. Examine the principal line ofletters
or name Of the bank. See il they are
all upright, perfectly true and even; or
If sloping, of a uniform slope.
Y. Carefully examine the shade or par
allel ruling on the face or outside of the
letters, &e., see if it is clear, and looks
as if colored with brush. The fine and
parallel lines in the genuine are ofequal
size, smooth and even; counterleits look
as il done with file.
8. Observe the round handwriting en-
graved on the bill which should be black
equal in size and distance, Of uniform
slope, and smooth. This in genuine notes
is invariably well done, and looks very
perfect. In counterfeits it is seldom SO
but often locks stiff as If done with a
pen.
9. Notice the imprint or engraver's
name, which is always near the border
or end of note, and is always alike; let
tiers small and upright, and engraved ve-
r, perfectly. Counterfeiters seldom do
il well. -
NoTE.-Itwas remarked by Stephen
Burroughs, before he Gied, that two
things could not be perfectly counter
feited: one was the dye-work, or portrait
medallion heads, vignette, &C., and the
other the shading or ruling above the
letters.-Bank Note Reporter.

IIarkl the seaphs' hymnis Is ringing,
And the living rills are nInging
Music ON immortal air.
There, no more ut eve declining,
Suns without cloud are shining

Heavens own dreams entrance the sleeper,
Not tear Is left the weeper,
To profane one flower above.
No frail lilies there are breathing,
There no thorny rose Is wreathlng
I'm the bowers Of paradise;
Where the founts Of life are flowing,
Flowers unknown 10 time are blowing,
MID superior yerdure glowing
Than Is summed by mortal skies.
There the groves OF God that never
Fade or fall, are green forever.
Mlror'd In the radiant tide;
There, along the sacred waters,
Unprofaned BY tears or slaughters,
Wonder earth IS immortal daughters,
Each pure immortal bride.
There no sigh or memory swelIeth,
There no tear Of misery dwelleth,
Hearts will bleed or break no more;
Past is all the cold worlds scorning,
Gone the night and broke the morning,
With seraphic day adorning
