A new and complete Set OF Rules
by which all the fundamental operations Of A.
rithmetic may be performed in an Incredible
short space Of time. To become master oil
them will require not more than a couple hours
study Of any good sound mind; and the student
will thereby be enabled to Add, Subtract, Null
tiplyor Divide, in any sum Of no matter how
many figures, more accurately Indeed beyond
the possibility Of an error and In less than one
fourth Of The time required in the old system.
These Fundamental Rules arc followed BY
IN Examination into the PROPERTIES OF
NUMBERS, which even further facilitates the
other operations. There are also embreeed in
the work,
Rules tort1e Calculation IF Interest,
which will work out the interest at any rate
upon any sum, with the utmost accuracy, and a
simplicity and quickncss fully equal to all the
other operations by this, and vastly superior
TO oil courses in the old plan. Isl
Together, these form the most complete trea-
tise on the Science Of Numbers ever issued-
and are intellectually valuable to all men from
their ncvcr-failing accuracy, and 70 business
men from the immense amount Of time they
save from the most wearisome details of bust
ness life. Particularly ought they to be in the
hands Of Merchants and Clerks, Teachers and
Students, and Young Men generally.

Oh, thou wit never know how fond love
his heart could have felt for thee;
Or ever dream how love and friendship strevs,
Through long, long hours for mastery;
How passion often urged, but pride restrained,
Or how thy GOODNESS grieyed, but kindness Pained
How hours have soohed the feelings, then that were
The torture Of my lonely life
But ever yet will often fall tear,
O'er widest hopes and thoughts then rife I,
Where er recalled by passing word or tone,
Fond memory mirrors all those visions flown
For much fear he has won thy heart,
And thou art but friend to me;
feel that in thy love have no part,
know how much he worships thee;
Yet still often will there rise CLEAN of hope,
Wherewith but only time and pride can cope

LINES.


Obi Ashland'J balls are vacant now,
Their mighty chieftain has gone forth
Millions Of freemen sorowing bow
Their heads, from south to north.
Columbs's bright star has set
In solemn grandeur from our sight,
And patriot hearts will ue'er forget
Its calm, resplsndent, holy light
II shone abroad o'er all the land,
A beacon for the brave and free;
And bound together in one band,
The undauHted sons Of liberty.
When discord blew its stormy breath,
Athwart this peaceful, happy realm,
And freemen sought each others death,
He brsssly, nObly, took the helm.
And through the dark and troubled waves,
He boldly steered our barque in port;
And wisely thus our union saved,
Which factious men had made their sport.
But now, also, he who has saved
So oft our happy land from strife
In the cold stream OF death has bathed,
Aud passed beyond TO endless life.
Then ye who linger o'er the tomb
OF the inanimate, immortal Clay.
Mourn not, but look beyond the gloom
To where his spirit scars in endless day

Our Bourbon has been among US. That is 10
say the elderly gentlemen with the royal nose,
whose mysterious appearance in the streets of
Philadelphia we announced two weeks ago, has
had his attention directed 10 our remarks upon
him, and has called to pay his respects 10 us. =
We must premise that he is no; one of the COM

tribes. Nor does he write his name "a Bore

have lately visited Sampson Street Hall. The

In default of silver or gold salver, this pre-
cious document was received on printers gal
ley, and the entire force of the Office, from the
Ipress-room TO the composing room, was assem-
bled to do honor to the illustrious visitor. An
attache of the establishment, acting as grand
chamberlain, and bearing new cotton umbrella
as wand of office, introduced him to our sane
tum, his arrival being announced by a grand
flourish on the signal whistles, which communi-
cate with the upper stories. Editors, report
ers, clerks, foremen, compositors and devils,
were drawn up in order TO receive him, each
presenting arms-the editors and reporters
their pens and scissors; the compositors their
sticks and rules; the devils their-but il is un-
necessary TO particularize. AS the nose Of the
august parsonage, followed by the parsonage
himself, loomed in the distance, there was a
general shout Of "Piue .9minddGb" mingled
with enthusiastic calculations of 'How are you,
old fellow?" "GO it Dolphin!" anl other char
acterStic cries.
| Aminidab the First advanced somewhat un-
steadily, but with the characteristic dignity of
his race, bowling his acknowledgements, and
took the chair of state, which fortunately was
the largest in the Office; for this representative
of royalty, like Louis XVIII, has grown obese,
ann is physically capable of filling any royal
chair.
The assembled company gathered around
standing in attitudes of proper respect, and we
then advanced and addressed our royal guest in
a neat, appropriate and eloquent oration which
It does not become us TO repeat here, Nor does
our modesty permit us to recite the gratifying
personal compliments which Aminadab the first
introduced into his reply. This reply, we may
say, however, was spoken in the English Ian
guage slightly fractured, and it was remarked
that tne Dolphin was afflicted with thickness
nf the tongue, which was no doubt caused by
inhuman treatment in the Temple. We dis
tinguished, however, occasional phrases which
sounded like "glasSoIdger," "feshpeSSelS" and ga
Juror" which an interpreter, familiar with the
tastes of the royal guest, said indicated desire
for lager beer, fresh pretzels and few raw
oysters.-[ Saturday Gazette.

~. ShvER Co,S.--We observed yesterday, on

cashier Of the Palmyra Branch of the Bank of
the State Missouri, which he shipped on the
Die Vernon. .,- '...f. .s.,. ,.' -. ...,..

ping II 10 be re-coined, under the late act Of
Congress. II is to be hoped that silver coin,
and small change will soon become now plenti.
ful. At present, silver is commodity of COM
'snerce, and has ceased 10 be the standard Of val
We. The premium on it, over gold, and the
common currency Of the country, has driven it
cut Of general circulation. a. ..l sHa.' g
To supply this vacuum, the merchant, me-
chanic and laborer have been compelled TO re-
ceive and pay out the small bills of unknown,
and often the most irresponsible banks of distant
States.
Meantime they are driven TO hoard up gold
and silver, and TO sell it TO the banks for ex-
change, and such money will be received for
goods in the East, at the very points from
whence comes a large proportion of the shin
plaster currency which they are compelled to
receive, We wonder not at the unnatural posi-.
ton into which they are driven. But we do
wonder, and are astonshed, at the neglect and
refusal of Missouri, SO long protesting devo-
tion to hard money, and sound and converti-
Ole circulation, why she should fail TO compel
her bank TO supply the small bills as substi-
tute for silver, which the laws of trade with
draw from the Statej and by which the worth
less trash foreign shinplusters, might be ban
iShed, we cannot divine! The local position of
Missouri, and the commerce Of the States in the
valley Of the Mississippi not only require, but
will sustain, the largest banking facilities of
any section of the Union. This is known and
acknowledged! Why do not the representa-
,tives Of the people avail themselves and the
State Of these advantages? The State is of age,
and is no longer, under dictatorship. Why
will not the people act?
The idea of banishing from our borders
'sound and convertible paper circulation, and
.ub..;.u.ins gold and silver with The premium
thus invited and secured, does not now exist,
except in the imagination of the most gaseous
political fanatic.
We are opposed to one currency for the office
holder, and another for the people-which is
now in full practical force.

This Government pays for every full
grown male Indian, killed or taken alive, a
reward of 5000. seal p and pair of ears
form the official proof in the first case. For
a full grown Indian woman, alive, sup
pose, il is understood, the reward is $3.50:
for a boy taken alive $50; for boy killed
500. Indian children taken captive are
placed by the Government in good families,
where they are well educated q, under the
common circumstances here, can be ex-
pected.

good servants; the boys generally run
away as soon as they have attained an age
