very same commodity which has been
trsgcked about, these eighteen hun

whose fortune consists in having
been born with limited vision. The
wrong way is just as good for this
class to travel in, as the right. From
close observation, the Student must
be satisfied that society is divided into
two great classes" knaves aud fools"
There is a mutual dependence, which

The New York Evening Post, of Sat.
arday last, says;
The imports of dry goods this week
have been large, and show the COM
mencement Of the importing season,
but the amount of duties paying at
the close are not So large as at the be-
ginning of the week. There has bsen

ing the week, both in domestic and
foreign goods. Prices generally ap-
pear not only firm but buoyant, and
early purchases are deemed the most
polite. If all the expectations Of an
abundant harvest be realized goods,
