Perils Of Parting


"There is one warning lesson in life
which few Of US have not received. and
no book tha. I can call to memory has
noted down with adequate emphasis. /.
is 'this--''Beware Of parting" The true
sadness is not the pain Of parting, tits
when and where you are to meet again

view.d From the passionate fareweIl1vo

keeping, to the cordial good bye ex-

snapped asunder in every parting, and
times busy fingers are NOT practiced in
replacing broken ties. Meet you NAV:

Will the souls, hurrying on in diverse
paths unite once more, as il the interval

" TnoMAs ALLrBoNK.-A friend has sent
us the following, accompanied by the published
card of S. Austin Allibone, in relation to his
brother Thos. Allibone, late President of tho
Bank of Pennsylvania. We have already pub
lishcd a portion Of this card, and have no room,
this week, for the other. We agree with the
writer, that simple justice demands that Mr.. Al
libone should not be condemned without hear
ing:
"The card of S. Austin Allibone, Esq, pub
lishej December %, 1857, is well worthy of pc.
rusa
Deplorable as the condition of the Bank Of
Pennsylvania is, it is due 10 common justice, that
Just and merited odium should rest upon the
guilty men. The restoration of the health of
Mr.. Thomas Allibone, and his return home, may
yet fully vindicate him and fix the guilt where
il properly belongs. 1t is but simple justice to
absent citizen, assaed as he has been, to
await his opportunity of vindcation which those
who know him best, confidently believe will be
most ample and triumphant"
