A correspondent Of the Preston
{ Englnnd Chronicle gives the fol-
lowing anecdote: rf
A good while ago boy named
Charlie had large dog which was
very fond of the water. and in hot
weather he used TO swim across the
river near which the boy lived. One
day the thought struck him that Il
would be fine fun to make the dog
carry him across the river, SO he tied
a string to the dogs collar, and ran
down with him 10 the waters edge,
where he took off all his clothes; and
then, holding hard by the dogs neck
and the bit Of string. he went into
the water and the dog pulled him
across. After playing about on the
other side for some time, they return
ed in the way they come but when
Charlie looked for his clothes, he
could find nothing but his shoes -
The wind had blown all the rest into
the water. The dog saw what had
happened, and making his little mas
ter let go the string, by making be-
lieve to bite him, he dashed into the
river, and brought out hrst his coat.
and then all the rest in succession,
Charlie dressed, and went home in his
wet clothes, and told his mother what
fun he and the dog had had. His
mother told him that he did very
wrong in going across the iiver as he
had done, and that he should thank
God for making the dog take him over
and back again safely; for if the dog
had made him let goin the river he
would most likely have sunk, ana been
drowned. Little Charlie said, Shall
| thank God now. mamaT and he
kneeled down at his mothers knee and
thanked God; then, getting up again.
he threw his arm round his dogs neck
saying, L thank you, too. dear dog
gle, for not letting CO. Little Charlie

valleys perish on the grounds. or the
valleys are uncultivated. What is
sold, is indeed at high prices-so high
that expectation is impossible. II We
buy foreign articles we must pay for
them in specie, and every few years
have bank Panics. hard times. and bro.
ken merchants.
But we have written nearly enough
for the present. We think we have
shown that the true interests Of the
country demand specie circulation,
or its equivalent-that whatever en-
hances the price of labor, produce,
and all other articles, is INJURIOUS
We do not propose that we come to
this at once. We could not il we
would. Banks are in existence that
must live out their day. Moreover, to
come to it at once, would ruin every
man who is much in debt. 1t would
take house and farm, to pay for the
new house. II would take two farms
to pay for one. But by steadily NOV
ing in that direction il can be attained
in the course Of the next 90 years
perhaps sooner. But ever movement
should be towards it, and we predict,
that before the present crisis is past,
there will be thousands who are now
in favor Of banks that will adopt these
views. They will say, let us have
uniform prices and no speculators.-
They will certainly demand that what
ever privileges are granted to one,
should be granted to all no monopo-
lies--no right for one to receive 25 per
cent and another only six, on money
no favor shown the man whose capi-
tai is invested in Bonds" that may
not be granted to him whose means
are in lands.
In short, if we must have banks, let
them be government banks. Guard
them against abuse If you can. but
make the government that creates
them or tolerates them. responsible for
the redemption Of the notes, not leave
hard-working, honest men, to lose
half their earnings, in bad money ev.
cry few years.
There are some other thoughts con-
nected with this subject, that we may
alludc to hereafter, particularly il this
subject! becomes living one. In the
mean while we invite correspondents
to express their views freely on this
subject.
