Tie INDEPENDENT in reference to the dry goods
ket ssys:
There Is little business doing from first hands.
Prices Of al staple goods are much hrmer The job.
bers are rather more ective-seliDg more freely to
the near trade and remittances are improving. The
Gales for cash are to fair extent French goods have
been sold through the auction rooms at credit of six
months ard were ell taken by the obbers Of this and
reighboriDg cities. The prices were Of course low,
ara reckon 80 10 50 y cent below cost of Imports
tier. The stocks in the hands Of jobbers are nov
large and laid in generally at low prices so that
sumers may be assured Of good supply at reasonable
rate for some months to come. Cotton goods OF
home manufacture are much more firmly held; sud
there IL an Increased inquiry for consumption. The
large 0bbers still buying. In woolens there not
90 good prospect as in cottons. The demand for
Spring goocs is much below what 10 usual at this
period. The wooden obbers are hardly 90 firm as
they Gus to be in restricting the time OF credit TO
Elk months. Buyers want longer credit, and there is
corfict going on the minds OF sellers between not
selling and selling at longer than elk months. Tbs
AZ Ii. ~ to 90 basness WILL We are AFRAID carry tbs
point in favor Of Tire buyer We learn that though
the crdt to Europe American account are
very restricted the consgnments here on foreign ac-
count sill be very likely to be urduly large the CON-
ing season.
The annexed extract from an article in TIE Wash
ington Union gives nklns Of the policy Of the Ad
ministrason in regard to Banks, and probably fore.
shadows the suggestions Of the Message:
1--WE sometimes !hirk tina, instead Of tnkering the
old, rotten ragged system OF barking, were better
TO abolish it entirely ard uske q one, or 60 with
ont spy If possible. The idea that this young and Wig
orou. ration possessing all the advantages Of natars,
ell the means Of prosperity, wealth Ind power, - de-
percent en- banks ana psPer ney o, any other sru,
blessings seem to Us absurd and preposterous IN tue
hsbest degree 1t is our firm belief tue United Sa.ss
would at tfls moment be stronger nation, and hspper
M more vItuous "a people, had they never seen er
krown nytbipg of that stupendous inposture which
has oobv.Ited paper pronle into representative OF
silver and gold.
ave are, therefore, willing once more to try our
hard at bank reform. Tue attempt may, and probs.
Div will fail. But We think il 10 worth trying. The
system cannot well be than it ie; aud, though
v. may net succeed it will serve as another example
OF the wi.oom Of the great and good Washington
When he gave il a. his firm conviction That neither
the wisdom Ior the Wit Of man could devise schens

himself suddenly brought to halt by a small
tree which interviewed between the front wheel

the Judge that there was no occasion for cutting
down the tree, but just to back the buggy
Pleased at the good sense Of the fellow, he told
him that he wculd leave him some thing at the

The LovER-An exchange says. love is
young gentleman who lives on sentiment and
moonlight believer in Byron and fate-a
youth who dislikes wise good advice, and salt
pork, and supposes that all that's required to
convert this world into paradise, is six
keyed flute, and pair of light blue eyes.
The lover is a great glider Hovels with
his brush are converted into cottages He
transmutes red hair into sun-colored ringlets.
The lover sets no value in business very
little in weather All he wants is "The star
of Love" and solitude. The lover takes large
ly to misanthropy, and looks upon the world
as cold and caculating"-the abode of hate,
envy, and tribuation. The lover scars above
mercantile operations, and terms commerce
the mutual cheating of a mercenary mob
The lover talks much of doves turtles and
rabbits. Sets priceless value on sighs and
other windy products, and esteems no man hu-
man who speaks patronizingly of baked beans
and mutton pies
The lover labors under sord of rose-color-
ed lunacy-the cure for which is marriage,
and butcher bills, a slouchy wife, and pair
Of dirty-faced twins
IF this does not cure him, the case is a
hard one, and. beyond the reach of human
skill.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN-In his va1edctory
address, ex-Lord-Rector, Glasgow University,
Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, lately offered the fol-
lowing excellent maxims to the students
"Never affect" said he, "to be otherwise
than you are, either rich or wiser. Never be
ashamed to say | do not know" Men will
then believe you when you. say II do not
know" Never be ashamed to say, whether
applied to time or money, II cannot afford to
waste an hour in the idleness to which you in
vite me: | cannot afford the guinea you ask
me to throw away" Once establish yourself
and your mode of life as what they really are,
and your foot is on solid ground, whether for
the gradual step onward or for the sudden
spring over precipce. From these maxims
let me deduce another. Learn to say " No ="
with decision, " Yes with caution. 4" No "
with decision whenever it meets temptation /;
Yes with caution whenver it implies prom
Use. A promise once given is bond inrio-
late. A man is already of consequence in the
world when it is known that we can implicitly
rely on him. ] have frequently seen in life
such person preferred to a long list of appli-
eants for some important charge he has been
lifted at once into station and fortune merely
because he has this reputation--that when a
man says he knows, he knows and when he
says he will do a thing, he will do it.

The Uses Of Home.

Where lie the elearest proofs of hea avenly
watchfalness over our heads, if not in the shell
ters where we hay those heads at night2 Con-
slider what securities home affections bind abort
tempted virtue !; bow the man of business car
res zone of moral purity woven aboat him
by the earesSes OF children, from his house to
the market-ptaee how the false and frandu-
lent purpose, half conceived in the counting
room, is rebuked and put to shame by the in
noeenee that gazes into his eyes and elings
about his neck when he goes home and shuts
the door on the world at night Consider
what household love interposes to stay the
erring feet OF dspostion--wliat triple shield
it holds up against the sins of prodigaty, in
diligence, or dishonor |! Consider that with
most OF us, whatever impulse of generosity
visit the SOUL whatever prayers we breathe,
whatever holy vows of religious consideration
we pledge, whatever aspiring resolves we form,
are apt to spring mp within the sacred encios-
ures of the house ! Consider how the mere
memory of that spot, with all its precious en-
dearments goes forth with the traveller, sails
with the sailor, keeps vigls over the exposed
heart among the perils of the foreign city,
sweetens the feverish dreams and softens the
pain of the sckv climate, and by calling his
love homeward, calls,hs faith to heaven -
Consider that the discipline of disease, the pu-
rifcation of bereavement, the tears of mourn
ers, are all implements in the sanctity of home
that closets of devotion are parts of the arch
lecture of the house that Bibles are opened
on its tables that the eyes of newborn child
rem open, and its first breaths are drawn in its
chambers and that the dead body is bo ont

INVENTION OF CHEss-According to NJ
Basterot, late French authority, this game
was invented during the 9th century by an
Indian Brahmin, called Sisa, who presented
his invention to the reigning monarch, Sir
ham, requesting as a reward one grain of
wheat for the first square two grains for the
second, and four for the third and SO on, in
geometric progression, up to the sixty fourth :;
to reach the amount of this humble request,
the author informs US, would reqnire the en-
tire wheat crop of France during l40 years.
