W There is grim and mournful truth
in the following, though we grieve to say it.
Very early marriages are not by any means
invariably happy ones, though truth compels
us to admit that we have known some bril-
limit exceptions:
"EARLY MARRIAGEs.-She stood beside
the altar when she was but sixteen. She
was in love; her destiny rested on n creature
"a delicate, and who had known as little of
the world as herself. She looked lovely as
she pronounced the vow. Think Of vow
from auburn hair, blue eyes and pouting lips,
and only sixteen years old.
"She stood by the wash tub when her
twenty. fifth birthday arrived. The hair, the
lips, the eyes were not calculated to excite
the heart. Five cross young ones were about
the house crying-some breaking things, and
one urging the immediate supply of the lac
teal secretior. In despair, slc stopped and
sat down, and tears tricked down her once
plump and ruddv cheek.
"Alas! Nancy, early marriages are not the
dodge. Better enjoy youth at home, and hold
lovers at proper distance until you have
muscle, limb and heart enough to face a
frowning world and family. If chap really
cares for you he can wait two or three years,
make presents, take you to concerts and so
on, until the time comes. Early marriages
and early cabbages are tender productions.

ATHENS, FRIDAY, DEC. II, 1857.
NOTES OF THE BANKS OF TENNEss

THE UsURY LAws.-The N. Y. Herald
says:-Events indicate that the struggle for
the repeal of the Usury laws will be renew
ed this winter with unusual vigor. Nor is
there anything surprising in this.
While the Bank Of England, bending to
financial storms, raises the rate of interest as
high as need be, but continues to accommo-
date all who deserve accommodation to the
extent of their wants, our banks, unable to
do business at higher rate than that fixed
by law, eau only meet storm by curtaiing
their accommodation and breaking their GUS
TONERS. Could there be more conclusive
commentary on the Usury laws!
q, But, while our mercantile men are prepar-
ing to waste time on the rural dullards who
assemble at Albany, why should not some
sensible person propose reference Of the
whole subject to Congress nt Washington
Under the Constitution Congress is invested
with the supervision and direction of CON-
merce, of which the Usury laws are a rule
and formula. They therefore fall properly
under the control Of Congress, and may be
legislated upon with perfect propriety.-
!. Again, ia State makes a rule with regard "a
the Usury laws, it only covers that State; all
tse rest Of The country is independent Of
its operation. How absurd this is in coun.
try whose commercial operations are intima.
tely intermingled and closely connected to.
fether! r.
A uniform law on the subject of the inter.
est which it shall be allowable to take fol
money would be eminently advantageous
and might very properly accompany some
Congressional provision for the equalization
ofthe value of paper money or the establish
mani of n uniforna currannu

The TREASURY EsrrMlrEs.-The Wash.

The TREASURY EsTrMATEs.-The WASH
ington correspondent Of the N. Y. Times
says that the Treasury estimates Of appro-
priation for the next fiscal year have been
made up, and despite every effort to reduce
them, the total amount estimated is about
seventy millions. The estimate for the War
Department alone is twenty and quarter
milions--being largely increased by the an
ticipated Mormon war. The total esti.
mates, including the special service and the
construction Of the new steam sloops-of.
war. amount estimated is about seventy mil.
lions. The estimate for the War Depart
ment alone Is twenty and quarter millions
being largely increased by the anticipated
Mormon war. The total naval estimates, in
cluding the special service and the construc.
tion Of the new steam sloops-of-war, amounts
to fourteen millions. The same correspon-
dent says that Secretary Cobb still thinks the
Treasury will not be compelled to resort to
loans or Treasury notes.

shop for every eighteen families in New York

one grog shop for every ten families. No
