fourteenth year. He was at school, making
rapid progress in his abstract studies, one
Of the most attentive scholars his teacher
had; accommodating and kind, causing no
unnecessary care from those who had charge

bankrupt from being TOO accommodating

accumulation of years-had to be parted
with to supply the demand of endorsements

When the property was all sold, Mr..
Stewart, the first time he had known want,

GooD ADVICE TO ALL YoUNG WOMEN =
Trust not to uncertain riches. but prepare
yourself for every emergency 10 life; learn
to work and not be dependent upon SER
wants to make your bread. sweep your
floors aud darn your stockings. A 5ove all
things, do not esteem too lightly those hon
orable young men who sustain themselves
and their aged parents by the work of their
own hands, while you care for and receive
into your company those lazy popinjays who
never lift finger to help themselves. SO
long as they can keep body and soul to-
gether and get sufficient to live in fashion.
If you are wise you will look at this subject
as we do, and when you are old enough TO
become wives, you will prefer the honest
mechanic, with not cent to commence life,
to the fashionable loafer, with capital of
ten thousand dollars.
Whenever We hear remarked, such
lady has married fortune we always
tremble for her prosperity. Riches left to
children by wealthy parents often turn out
curse instead Of a blessing. Young wom-
en-. remember this. and instead Of sounding
the purses of lovers and the cut of their
coats. look into their habits and hearts;
mark if they have trades and can depend
on themselves; see if they have minds
which will lead them TO look above a but
terfy existence, Talk not of the beautiful,
white-skinned. soft, delicate hand-the
splendid form and the fine appearance ofthe
young gentlemen. Let not those foolish
considerations throng your thoughts

Discovery OF AN ANCIENT MIYE.-An
old mine has recently been discovered on
the farm of John L. Neely, in Solebury
township, about two miles and half below
New Hope,on the Delaware river, in Bucks
county, Pa. There have been some tradi
tlons handed down by the Indians with re.
ference to the existence of mine in the
neighborhood, but very little credit WAS at
tached to Them. The mine was discovered
accidentally, while exploring rabbits hole.
Who worked the mine is not known. II
must have been opened long time ago, as
on what is now supposed to be soil thrown
up in making the excavation, trees are nov
growing which are thought TO be 200 years
old. The Indian tradition said the persons
who worktd the mine carried the ore to the
DeIeware in the night and shipped it. A
large stone had been placed al the mouth
OF the drift which has been opened, and
the dirt carefully filed in, SO as to effectu-
ally conceal it for this long period of time.
There are no signs of metal in the drift,
except what were picked up in the delves,
and an occasional indication Of copper on the
sides.

A Igcnutiful Poem.


In the volume of poetry by Bayard Taylor,
recently published, we find the following beau
ti'ul poem, upon which we have exhausted our
admiration, aud we agree with the United
States Gazette, in saying that we cannot, in
the wide round Of English literature, discover q
poem on kindred subject which riynls il in all
the qualities which are necessary for the per-
feclion Of so delicate work. II is no business
of the critic 10 inquire into the history upon
which this poem was founded, OF 10 invade the
sancity OF the poets hearth with indecent hints
and impudent conjectures. Too much Of this
has been done lately by the fcribbling world
too much in the case OF the anhor of this po.
en-. We, therefore, give it without further
comments including our notice with poem
that will speak louder in the luthors praise

but firmly, with regard to the questions pre-
scented by the unexpected proceeding Of the
French government. A full explanation ought
to be demanded, and none but satisfactory
explanation ought to be received. European
monarchs have treated our government as an
inferior long enough, and it is time that we
require our equality to be acknowledged and
respected. But we will not say more on this
subject at present. 1t is too soon, perhaps, to
discuss the rights Of ministers, whilst going to,
or returning from, their posts of duty ascer-
tain how far and for what reasons minister
may be denied the privileges which appertain
to his official character--or to specify the
rights which our citizens enjoy in France by
virtue of existing treaties. We, therefore, con-
clude our remarks by calling the attention OF
our readers to an article on this subject, which
we republish this morning from the columns OF
the London Times.

by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials to

RUN ON A BANK--vIReINIA STOCKS.


The run which was commenced on Monday
on the Exchange Bank of Messrs. Selden,
Withers & Co., lasted during yesterday. In
the beginning there was considerable excite
ment, but it abated as the bank continued to
meet its liabilities.
The notes of the Exchange Bank have, for
long time past, circulated freely, and the
credit of the bank was firmly established. We
we're surprised, therefore, to hear that run
had been made upon it, and have endeavored
to ascertain the cause that produced the panic.
Amongst the various reasons assigned, that
which struck us as the most plausible, attri-
buted the panic to a combination to crush the
bank, because Messrs. Selden, Withers q Co.,
had maintained the market price Of Virginia
stocks, which certain parties wished to specu-
late in. We do not know whether this is true,
but if it is true, it shows that sel6shness and
avarice will go any length for gain, regardless
of the sufferings which may be inflicted on a
community.
Virginia stocks are as good as any in the
Union. A large amount of those stocks have
been taken TO the Northwest and used as a
basis for Private Bank issues Many Of those
Private Banks have been hard pressed, and
have been forced to realize their securities.
This has thrown great deal Of Virginia
stock on the market and caused decline
in price. The stockholders understand well
enough the cause Of the decline, and they
know we'll enough that, the stocks being as
| good as any in the country, the decline must
be temporary. They wish, therefore, to buy
as lop as possible and as speedily as possible.
The resources Of Virginia are ample, and the
idea of reputation has never been entertained
by the people Of virginia. They have been
thoroughly tested in that particular, and they
bore without complaint the most onerous taxa
ton, in time of pressure, rather than fail TO
nav promptly the interest on the State debt.
] Since then they have takensecurity forfeiture.
They have embodied in their State Constitution
a clause which forbids the Legislature to create
a debt without making provision at the same
time for paying the interest, and for sinking
fund to discharge the principal at maturity.
We had occasion q few days ago to express
| our hostility to the new system of Banking by
which stocks are made the basis Of paper is
sues but we believe that the system, as regula-
ted in Virginia, is much safer than in the other
States. There the banks are not only required
to deposit stocks to the amount Of their notes,
but they are required also TO keep on hand an
amount Of specie equal to two6fths OF their
circulation.
