USURY LAWS.

Gov. Johnson, of Virginia, in his late
message to the Legislature, recommends a
free system of interest, as follows:
q beg leave to call your attention to the
repeal of all laws on the subject of usury,
a subject which has recently attracted pub
lie notice in this and the adjoining States.
However necessary restrictive measures Of
this character may have been in former
times, there is obviously strong prejudice
against them at present. All experience
has shown that every effort to keep down
the rate of INTEREST," by legislative enactments
plish the end; that the price of money,
like every other commodity III the market,
will be regulated by demand and supply,
and that any laws intended to control it
constantly violated, evaded or disregarded,
the tendency being to demoralize society by
inducing an habitual disregard of the laws
of the State. 1t is moreover confidently be-
leved that the laws now in force tend to III
crease rather than diminish the rate of i'll
terest paid, and operate to the prejudice of
the borrowers, who are generally the more
needy class, and whose interests were inten-
dcd to be guarded. And indeed it is diff
cult to understand why the liberty of the
citizen should be restricted in regard to
mOneyed transactions, while he is deemed
competent to the management and control
of other commodities in his possession
Without entering further into discussion on
the subject, I would respectfully recon-
mend a repeal or such notifications of these
laws as would leave the citizens free to sti-
pulate for such rate of interest as may be
agreed upon by the contracting parties"

LET US BE HAPPY.
BY ELIZA COOK.

Oh let Us be happy when friends gather round US,
However the world may have shadowed ouT lot
When the rose-braided lnksof affection have bound
us,
Let the cold chains of earth he despised and for
got;
And say that the friendship is only ideal,
That Truth and Devotion are blessings unknown,
! For he who believes every heart as unreal,
Has something unsound at the of his own.
Oh! let US be happy when moments of pleasure
Have brought to our presence the dearest and
best,
For the pulse always beats to most hea Venly mea-
sure,
When love and good will sweep the strings of the
breast.
Oh let US be happy, when moments of meeting
Bring those to our side who ilumine our eyes;
And though folly, perchance, shake bell at the
greeting,
He is the dullest of fools who forever is wise.
Let the laughter of Joy echo our bosoms,
As the hum of the bee for the midsummer Aow-
ers,
For the honey of happiness is from ioves blossoms,
And is found III the hive of those exquisite hours.
Then let US be happy, when moments of pleasure
Have bronght to our presence the dearest and
best,
For the pulse always beats to most heavenly mea-
sure,
When love and good will sweep the strings of the
breast.
Let US plead not a spirit too sad and too weary,
To yield the kind word, and the mirth-hghted
smile;
The heart, like the tree, must be fearulIy dreary,
Where the robin of hope will not warlle awhile.
Let say, in PRIDE that we care not Others
And live in our wealth like an OK in his stall;
IT'S thecommerce of love, with sisters and
brothers,
Helps to pay our great debt to the Father of AL
Then let us be happy, when moments of pleasure
Have brought TO presence the dearest and
besf,
For the pulse ever beats with more heavenly mea-
sure,
When love and good will sweep the strings OF the
breast.

FILIAL INGRATITUDE.

''Ingrattude thou marble-hearted fcnd,
More hidcOus when thou shows thee in a child
Our sensibilities have perhaps never been
more rudcly shocked than they were last
week at the County Court, when a case
was called i'll which son had ca-saed his
father for a trifing debt! The old man
came lmping in on BIS staff, with eyes bent
upon the floor feeling, no doubt,
"How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child
But the half is not told: That son made
up an issue Of fraud with his father, and
by all the testimony that he could rake up,
attempted to convict the old man of con-
cealing small quantity of corn and few
head of cattle, for the purpose of hindering
and delaying the collection Of the debt!
We have no comments to offer upon such
a case. We believe that not many more Of
the kind are likely to happen in Cunber-
land and for the credit of humanity, we
hope they may occur no where else. 'Hon-
or thy father and thy mother that thy
days may be long upon the land which the
LORD thy God giveth thee."- Fayetteville
