TIE LANGUAGE OF FINANCE.-The Detroit
Daily Advertiser calls things by their right
names.
Finance has language of its own. Its
thieves are not thieves, but defauiters. Hav-
ing more notes afioat than means to pay them,
is being short Of currency; the world calls it
poverty and insolvency. Pawning is hypothe-
cation-shinning and borrowing is fnancicr-
ing. Swndlingi is Incorporating taking men S
and won1ens money to keep safely, and squan-
dering it, OF losing. it in speculation, is suspend
ing. Loaning out other peoples money is &C
commodation. Paying out doubtful issues in
redeeming their own is retiring circulation
Embezzemcnt is extending liabilities. Steal
ing State or government bonds is an oyeris
sue; and managing bank well is contrivng
to make somebody not interested furnish means
to bank upon. Finance has a smooth bust
ness name for almost every act relating to
money-its safe keeping, disbursement, and
prompt payment; the reverse of which, in a
private individual, is called by harsh Saxon
names, such as are found in bills of indictment
and penal statutes. The yotaries of finance
never steal: they overdraw. They are never
poor, though often every close" They never
refuse to pay honest debts; they suspend
The commercial history of this country for the
past twenty-five years is history of fnancier-
ing-not only or chiefly by bankers, nor even
by brokers, but by a class of adventurers who
have seized upon these capacities to shroud de-
signs of plunder under technical names"

Horace On the Beard.

Horace Greeley, in late lecture is re-
ported to have spoken thus on shaving;
"We would say TO Young America in
contingencies and workshops, never
touch your boards with a razor despise
the dictates of fashion, and let the hair of
the face grow siken, and soft, trimmed only
by the scissors. Your health will be i'm
proved your teeth will be sounder: your
liability to colds and bronchial lung aifec-
tons will be sensibly diminishsd; your con-
venience will be daily consulted: your man
ly beauty no dispicable thing, as it is the
type of what ought to be the dowery of
every man-will be indefinitely increased,
aud the true and poetical contrast to female
loneliness be once more secured, which is
impossible undor the starved, scraped, wiry
caricatures that shavelings now present.

al of the unfortunate DR.. Dodd, for

mercy, he recorded, was fruitlessly
enforced by the eloquence of John

capital punishment days. 1t was
evidently a very easy thing to get
hanged in the "good old times"

Whall was hung in Boston for high

cosisted in twitching from the hand
of another female a bonnet worth
perhaps seventy-fve cents, and run

applications for her pardon were I'M
successful. / mention this not to
the disparagement of the Governor.

To Soak Some Roots.

1t appeared best to the excise
commissioners of the town of M,
of New York, to refuse license for
the sale Of intoxicating liquors to all
persons save doctor of known in
tegrity and strong temperance prin-
ciples, who promised not to sell ex-
cept for medicinal Or mechanical
purposes. One Wheeler-sn &C.
centric Irish cobbler-longed for a
quiet drink, and with a sober air and
smooth tongue petitioned the doctor
for quart Of gin.
''For what purpose do you wish
it?" asked the doctor.
"Sure, doctor, I've been very bad
for nearly ten days back with great
goneness in my stomach, and not a
haporth of good can get from any
thing in these turns but gin to soak
some roots in"
'And do you tell me, upon your
honor, Wheeler, that you only wish
the gin to soak some roots in, and to
be taken as medicine for weak
stomach?"
"Faith as l live doctor, I only
want the gin to soak some roots"
The doctor, confident from his
sallow appearance, that the man was
sick, and that little tonic bitter would
not harm him, filled his quart bottle
and received his pay.
Wheeler, on reaching the side
walk, fronted the doctor, who was
still standing in the door, placed his
thumb upon his nose, and with sun
dry gyrations with The fingers, while
with the other hand he placed the
bottle to his mouth, and took a long
invigorating guzzle of the gin.
"Stop!" cried the doctor, ''you
gave your word of honor that you
only wanted the gin to soak some
roots, and here you are drinking
yourself dead drunk"

rors. Possessing a mind and judgment clear, quick
and discriminating. capable OF mastering, readily,
the most conpleXed and Intricate questions OF the
law combine to make him one peculiarly tit for judi

1t will be remembered that in the late Judicial

to fill the Office made vacant by the resignation of the
