pal or interest, and if the plaintiff fails to
answer, he has the right to establish the
fact by his own affidavit rs to. the truth of
his plea. The spectators and money lend
ers tllink that the present hard times will
favor the repeal of these laws--hence this
sudden clamor Of aportion of the press, who
We fear, are pondering to the nod of the al
mighty dollar. Who is it, brethren, that
urge you to advocate the repeal of the Usu-
ry laws? Is it the bone and sinew of the
country, or the pursc-proud aristocracy q
1t is argued by Jeremy Benthan, and
other hirclings cf capitalists, that money
should be governed by the laws Of commerce,
the same as property Of every description !;
that there should be no law regulating its
value any more than that of any other arti-
Gle ofcommercc. But these reasons, which
may at first appear plausible, are incorrect.
Money is different from everything else; it
alone can pay taxes; its value is regulated
by the Government, and no man can do with
out it-whereas most other things can be
dispensed with.

POETRY,
Brother, Take nv Arm.

AoeAoky lake my Arm.
When grief is heavy on thee
Or dismal fears alarm,
Then. brother, lean on me-
My brother, take my arm.
There's many load of trouble
That taketh two to bear,
Where one would bend quite double
Beneath the heavy care.
IF malice, in its raneor,
Has sought thy mortal harm,
My shoulder be thine anchor
My brother take my arm.
Though all, in time of trial,
May turn their eyes away,
Nay brother, no denial,
- My arm shall be thy stay.
If grief were mine tomorrow,
A grief that nnught could charm,
I'd cry in all my sorrow,
. "Oh! brother, give thine arrni J."
Ayl let me feel another
Will weep with me in woe:
A brother, yen, a brother,
May oil who sorrow know!

Keep Cool

Those calm and rational exhortations to
Take it coolly,' and Never cry for spilled
milk, are all very good till they are needed.
They arc extremely sautary before the fever
kndles and the milk is spilled; but in the
presence Of pain, or OH the advent of n dis
astcr, to all those who are gifted with forti-
tude by nature, or have been disciplined in
the school of afflction, they are about rs
effectual rs whisting in the teeth of a nor
wester.
Their utter impotence in the storm of
passion, reminds me of the direction given
by a good New England Deacon to his
cbolcric son.
"Whenevcr you feel your dander rising
said he, "be sure to say the Lords Prayer,
my son, or else the alphabet clean through {;
and long before you get to the end ont
you'll be as cool rs Il cucumber, or All ice
berg. Promise me faithfully my son."
YES daddy, promise"
OFF trudged Jonathan to school, carving
his bread and meat, with a small bottle OF
molasses in his jacket pocket, and his late
firm promise uppernost in his mind.
a boy who bore him an old grudgc, met
linn, and after calling him the "young
Deacon" and many other scurrilous nick
names caught him off his guard, and threw
him to the ground, tearing his jacket, and
breaking his molasses bottle.
Up jumped Jonathan, his eyes wolfsh,
and his lips white with rage. But There
was an oath in Heaven" and he did not for.
get it. So he proceeded to swallow his
Alphabetical piIls.an antedote to wrath

ADVICE TO PLANTERs.-The Augusta
Constitutionolist alluding to the approach
ing seasons, gives the following advice to
planters in regard to the choice Of crops:
:, 1t is to be hoped tl,%Fta cotton planters will
not be betrayed by the present low prices Of
cotton and their wants Of money, to commit
the folly of planting a larger crop than usu-
al, in order to make up the required sum by
increased quantity. Increase Of production
but aggravates the evils under which the
planters sutfer;; for too many traia all their
energies to make Cotton, to the neg Fleets COM
paratively, Of supplies Of provisions and 9TH
or articles which every plantation needs,
and Of which a. surplus. can always, find a
ready market. This is especially true now,
for while cotton,is unusually, low, almost
every other article usually made on q cot

LUcKY.-The Atlanta Examiner of the
10Th says, gentleman from Virginia, while
stopped at the Washington Hall Hotel, in
this city, few days since, reported the loss
of his pocket-book, containing $4,000; but
appearing to take the matter so "coolly,"
says the Examiner, ''the incredulous were
disposed to regard it a hoax, and even those
of contrary disposition were left in doubt
as to the fact, particularly when the gentle
man on the ensuing morning took passage
in the Augusta train on his way to the Old
Dominion" Shortly after the departure of
the gentleman in question, the money
market among the "colorcd folks" seemed
to become so easy as to excite suspicion
thata "smash" had been made on some one.
A negro, in attempting to pass one hun
dred dollar bill was arrested, Which soon led
to the recovery Of $1,000 more, scattered
among his friends. This fully confirming
the Virginia gentlcman's account of his loss,
no delay was had in informing him of the
recovery of his funds. So Indifferent did
he appear at his loss, that the Examiner
wonders whether he will think it worth while
to put himself to the inconvenience of COM
ing or sending after his money; and if not,
suggests that it be invested for the benefit
of the poor Of that city.-.Saph. Rep.

WHOLE NUMBER "a.

AN exchange tells this good story: A
yankee and Frenchman owned pig in
copartnership. When killing time came
they wished to divide tho carcass. Tho van
kce was anxious 10 divide SO that lie should
get both hind quarters, and persuaded the
Frenchman that the proper way to divide
was to cut it across the back. The French
man agreed to it, on condition that the Yam
kcc would turn his back and take choice Of
the pieces after it was cut in two. Tile Yam
kce turned his back, and the Frenchman
asked:
"Vitch piece will you have; ze piece wild
zc tail on him, or &c piece what aint got no
tail on him 2"
"Thc piece with the tail on him !" shout
cd the Yankee.
"Den, by gar, you take him, and take
&c other" said the Frenchman.
Upon looking round the Yankee found
that the Frenchman had cut off the tail
and stuck it in the pigs mouth.
WE find the following amusing account
Of the origin of the saying "more truth than
poetry" going the rounds ofthc papers: Alta
social dinner, John Sylvester challenged Ben
johnson to a match in forming rhvming
couplets. The challenge was accepted, and
Sylvestcr's first attempt ran as follows:
II John Sylvester,

To which his antagonist instantly re-

This was rather poser, and Sylvester
protested, that it was no rhyme. "No,"
said johnson, "but it is frue." The result
is not recorded; but it is quite probable,
that John Sylvester cavcd in. aG
