thing on this subject which it certainly
Interesting to every member Of the
community. We propose briefly in
this article to point out some Of the
errors ofsour people which have ten
dency to put them at the mercy Of
shopkeepers, and keep the trade Of the
town in an unhealthy condition. We
live very close to the great emporium
and feel with others, that articles com.
ing fresh with the smell gass from
Chartres street, are decidedly better
than the very same things we find in
our own shop windows. But this no.
ton, at once averse to our own com.
mercial prosperity should be abandon
ed, as only fit for some temporary
resident State functionary" that can
not afford to polute his lips by drink
ing out of cup off of the shelves Of
atom dealer, when articles Of the
same kind only better" can be had
in New Orleans. ....
On this score our good people should
not forget that our permanent trades
people make up the community from
which each member (who does not live
in tub> draws his pleasure if not his
happiness.
Our own merchants should be pat
ronized for every thing. 1t dces not
need any lenthy argument to prove
that the pecumiary Interest Of every
member Of the community is advanced
by this patronage. We should live
more amongst ourselves than we do,
instead of endeavoring to fitch from
the common stock to expend elsewhere.
That goods Of every quality can be
purchased here as cheap and cheaper
than in New Orleans, we will not
waste our paper to show. We make
the assertion and defy proof to the con-
trary; that goods-dry goods. fancy
goods, silk goods, cotton goods, and
goods Of any other kind or quality, can
be had here as cheap as they can be had
at retail anywhere else in the Onion
Produce can be had cheeper. Our
mechanics can work as we'll, and there
is nothing to drive our people to New
Orleans to spend their small change
than the foolish and childish within,
that the tin trumpet offered for sale on
Camp street is better than the same
tin trumpet at Neirey's. Another
thing which operates against our trade
is the ephemeral Cheap Stores" that
spring up like mushrooms in our town,
to vend mock auction OR stolen goods
And it is astonishing how rapidly our
beautiful ladies rush into them to get !
things for no other reason than be-
cause they are Cheap
We do not pretend to say that goods
are not sold cheap" sometimes for
less than their cost, but how? Why
BY people who have stolen them, or
design robbing their creditors-the
same thing.-People who care not a
Jig for the place and its prosperity
This is wrong-let us patronize one
another. Our maxim is good one
to buy nothing (unless forced toy from
my one who is not a citizen, and who
Ices not patronize us. We will en-
leavor to inculcate the same doctrine
o others, and get the feeling diffused.

Authorship of the Bible.

There are in all sixty-six books which COM
prise the volume of Holy Writ, which are at
tributed to more than thirty different authors,
or writers of the whole. Half Of the New
Testament was composed by St. Paul, and the
next largest writer is the gentle and beloved
St. John. With the single exception of Paul,
neither history nor tradition has testified that
those powerful thinkers aud writer's. ever en-
joyed the benefits of education, or that they
were trained TO scholarship and learning; yet
how ably have they written, what eminent
characters have been chronicled by them; and
what great events recorded, both for time and
eternity @- +- NJ III ~ NV
Jeremiah is sorrowful; Isaiah sublime
David poelical; Daniel spacious; Habakuk
and Haggai terrible and 4enunciatory; but
they all seem to have exercised their natural
gifts under the influence Of Divine direction

edge, and profound ntelligence-the legisla-

the work; and John, with his depth Of feeling

Little Bessie.

1lLLl6 bessie,
And the way I'm which she fell asleep
Just before the lamp was lighted,
Just before the children came,
While the room was very quiet an
Iheard some one call my name;
All q, once the window opened
In the fields whore lambs and sheep,
Some from out brook were drinking,
Sons were lying fast asleep!
But could not see the Saviour,
Though strained my eyes to see;
And I wondered if he saw me,
If he'd speak to such as me.
In a moment was looking Wy
On world SO bright and fair,
Which was full of little children;
And they seemed SO happy there. !
They were singing, 0 how sweetly-
Swester songs never heard;
They were singing sweeter, mother,
Than can sing our yellow bird;
And while my breath was holding,
ONE, so bright. upon me smiled,
And knew it must be Jesus,
When he said, Come here, my child
Hug me closer, closer, mother, @ aA
Put your arms around me tight, I
am cold and tired, mother, -,C~
And feel so strange tonight
Something hurts me here, dear mother,
Like a stone upon my breast
o. wonder, wonder, mother,
Why it is cannot rest.
All the day, while you were working.
As L lay upon my bed,
was trying to be patient, ,
And to think of what you said iaa t
How the kind and blessed Jesus
Loves his lambs to watch and keep,
And wished he'd come and take me
In his arms, that 1 might sleep. ... 4.
Come up here, my little Bessie,
Come up here, and live with mo,
Where the children never suffer,
But are happier than you see;
Then thought Of all you told me, .-r
Of that bright and happy land; l
] was going when you called me,
When you came and kissed my hand.
And at first felt so sorry
You had called me would 60,
o! to sleep, and never suffer;
Mother. don't be crying So
Hug me closer, closer, mother,
Put your arms around me tight;
o, how much love you mother;
But feel SO strange tonight! gr
And the mother pressed her closer
To her over burdened breast;
On the heart so near 10 breaking,
Lay the heart so near its rest;
In the solemn hour of midnight,
In the darkness calm, and deep,
Lying on her mothers bosom,
Little Bessie fell asleep!

VIRGINIA DEMocRAcY.-They betray poor
appreciation Of the character of thelVirginia
democracy, who imagine that any impulse Of
disappointment or other trivial cause will drive
them into opposition to democratic admins
tration. Never were the democracy Of Vir-
ginia more steadfast in their attachment TO the
principles Of their party, and never were they
less disposed 10 abandon that organization on
which depends their ability to vindicate their
principles. The present administration pos
sesses their entire confidence, and they mean
to support it with characteristic zeal and con-
sistency. And more, they mean to exact Of
their representatives equal fidelity. We know
the sentiment Of the Virginia democracy in
respect to the administration, and we know
that any man, be his station what it may, who
violates that sentiment, will suffer the legiti-
mate consequence - Richmond Enquirer.
