WILD CAT MONEY.

The recent Annoyance consequent up-
on the suspension Of specie payments by
the banks, brings to mind an incident
which occurred something like twenty
years ago in a Western city. The story
may have been published, but We do not
remember having seen it in print at all
events, we will tell il and run the risk:
At the time we speak Of, q gentleman
having in his possession ten or twelve
hundred dollars on a certain BANGING in

counter one very fine morning. and ads

How wonderful ;s Death

PASSAGE IN sHELLEY's POEM, Z" IANTHE."
How wonderful is Death, .-.
Death, and his brother Sleep! ...r
One, pale as yonder waning moon, ....I
With lips of lurid blue;
The other rosy as the morn
When throned on oceans wave,
1t bushes DER the world:
Yet both so passing wonderful.
Hath then the gloomy power
Whose reign is in the tainted sepuIchres
Seized on her sinless soul 7
Must then that peerless form
Which love and admiration cannot view
Without u beating heart; those azure veins
Which steal like streams along field of snow,
That lovely outline, which is fair
AS breathing marble, perish
Must putrefacton's breath
Leave nothing of this heavenly sight
But loathsomeness and ruin
Spare nothing but gloomy theme,
On which the lightest heart might moralize
Or is it only a sweet slumber
Stealing o'er sensation,
" Hull IhO VI
Chaseth into darkness
Will Ianthe wake again 7
And give that faithful bosom Joy
Whose sleepless spirit waits to catch
Light, life, and rapture, from her smile
Yes, she will wake again,
Although her glowing limbs are motionless,
And silent those sweet lips
Once breathing eloquence
That might have soothed tigers rage,
Or thuwed the cold heart of conqueror.
Her dewy eyes are closed,
And on her lids, whose texture fno
Scarce hides the dark blue orbs beneath,
The baby sleep is piIowed;
Her golden tresses shade
The bosom's stainless pride,
Curling like tendriIs of the parasite
Around a marble column.
