A LEAF OF MEMORY Losr.-An old mans
memory is queer place Indeed, it resembles
an old-fashioned garret, full of relics anu souy-
enirs of the past the rubbish of to-day, butthe
riches of yesterday.
In conversation yesterday with an old man,
who has passed a long and useful life, and with
whom now it is Indian summer,we we're impress
ed with a remark he incidentally made. He
had seen the opening of near seventy springs; at
first, the winters came and went, but by and by,
unmelted snow flakes fingered IN his hair, and
he saw them drift over the graves of one after
another, whose feet with his, had brushed the
morning deRs together. AT last, they Whitened
over his old wifes last resting plaee-oFer her
who knew him when the shadows fell to the
westward and &c the day was before - them both
who never thought him old, though all the
world pronounced him SO. Every body said when
she died, sit is terrible blow for the old man,,
and few did all they could to make him forget,
but there was no need of that. .s for said he,
s. they didn't seem to know where the blow fell,
they so deplored--they didn't think hoto mntb
Unused somebody TO help me remember -
Those few words, indeed, contain a world o.
meaning, He did miss the other Leaf from mem
ory's tablet. Two pairs of eyes had but one
rainbow but one pair beheld 1t now. Two
| hearts had lived over again the past but one
remembered it-and imperfectly now. Who
would have life's little thread extended till he,
| too, should be compelled to take up the words
and saw, g miss somebody to help me remem-
ber?' N. Y. Tribune.

New Cons. We notice that some
Of the New % gold pieces have been
received in Charleston. This coin j.
not only useless, and the expense Of
it, ooinage on that ground alone, un-
justi6able, but its creation is q still
worse in that it is . departure from
the decimal system which gives this
country 20 great an advantage over
other natialp in the simplicity Of its
currency, and the facility thereby
afforded for reckoning. We should
be glad fit we're suppressed. The
three cent piece is equally departure
from the decimal system. but as it
dispenses in great measure with copper
and is about a. small silver coin could
well be, its creation was judicious and
has its advantage TO recommend it.
