A Lesson to Scolding Mother.

A little girl who had witnessed the
perplexity Of her mother on certain
occasion, when her fortitude gave way
under severe trial, said:
Mother, does God ever fret or
scold?'
The query was SO abrupt and start
ling, it arrested the mothers attention
almost with shock.
"Why, Lizzie, what makes YOU ask
that question:
'Why, God is good-you know YOU
used to call him the Good Man. when
| was lttle-and l should like to know
IT he ever scolded."
"No, child, no."
NV ell, am glad he don't, for scold-
ing always makes me feel so bad. even
II 1T IS not me in fault | don't think
could love God much, if he scolded. -
The mother felt rebuked before her
SIMPLE child. Never had she heard so
1orclble lecture on the evils of scold-
ing. The words of Lizzie sank keen in
her heart, and she turned away from
the innocent face of her little one to
hide the tears that gathered in hel
eyes. Children are quick observers
and Lizzie seeing the effect of hel
words, FASTENED to inquire:
"Why do you cry, mother? Was
It naughty for me to ask so many ques
tions ?''
.'No, love, it was all right. I was
only thinking how bad I had been {,
scoid SO much, when my little girl could
hear and be troubled.''
so, no mamma, YOU are not bad
You are good mamma; only wisl
there was not so many bad things to
make you fret and talk like you did lust
now. 1t makes me feel away from YOU
so far, as if could not come near Won
as | can when you smile and are kind
and ., sometimes fear shall be put
Oft so far [ shall never get back again. >
~, Lizzie, don't say that" said the
mother, unable longer to rcpress the
tears that had been struggling in hel
eyes. The child wondered what
could so effect the parent, but instinc.
lively feeling it was case reo,,irino
sympathy, she reached up and laid hel
h.1lc diHlS ABOUT ner mothers neck and
whispered
Mamma, dear, do make You cry /:
Do you love me %
~, yes, | love you more than I car
tell, replied the parent, clasping the
child to her bosom. "And I will tr,
never to scold again before my littl,
sensitive girl"
so, | am so glad. l can get sonea1
you when you don't scold and do yo,
know, mother, that l want to love yor
so much %
This was an etfectual lesson, and tn,
mother felt the force of that passage O
Scripture, ''Out of the mouths of babe.
have | ordained strength" She new
er scolded again.

Eastern Capital.
1t is a very common idea at the West

1t is a very common idea at the West that
we must look to the Eastern cities for capi-
tai to start and sustain all our enterprises
Few who talk about it have any idea what
perfect moonshine it is composed OF, and how
easily we could manufacture it at home, If
we had the raw rnaterial-that is confidence
in one another and our resources. Modern
commercial capital is but that immaterial
thing made mostly of faith and credit the
world over. An extract from report of
Committee of Eastern bankers, " on the cur
renew" shows Of what unsubstantial SUBJ
stances the immense deposits in the New
York banks are constituted; and (which are
the chief reliance Of our commerce in effect
ing the purchase of property and the pay
ment of debts"
In 1857, the New York banks extended
their loans to Sl22, 100000, on specie basis
of $4,000, 900; their deposits being about
S45,oOo,oo0.
The following is paragraph from the n.
Y. Bankers "Report on Currency"
"If the bank gives its own notes in ex-
change for the securities discounted, its
credit is transmitted into currency In the
form of circulating bank notes; if 1t merely
inscribe credit on its ledger to the party
for whom it makes the discount, as is gener-
ally the case in our city banks, its credit
becomes currency in the form of deposits in
bank, and although these deposits are
pure fiction, have no tangible existence
anywhere, for neither the bank nor the de-
positors really possess them, they, never
theless, perform the Office of money just as
effectually as coin or bank notes held In
actual possession. In truth, these ideal de-
posts, these inscriptions of credit on bank
ledgers, which are placed there in exchange
for the securities discounted, and which
represent nothing but these securities and
the credit of the banks, are the chief re-
lance of our commerce in effecting the pur-
chase of property and the payment of debts
They constitute, at the present time live
sixths of the active currency OF this city,
Now why can't tive create these "pure fic'
tions These q intangible existences" o
credit at the West, as well as to run East t(
purchase them there at ten and twelve pei
cent interest. Nevertheless" says the re
port "they perform the offices of money
Just as effectually as coin, or bank note
held in actual possession at the East, ant
why not at the West? Can't we move on
vast agricultural exports on "ideal depos
its" made at home, as well as on those ere
ated in New York and furnished to US at {
shave OF IL or Is per cent? But the I'M
maculate wisdom of our constitutional ar
chitects clipped the fancies of the people i
the realms of imaginary wealth, and CAV
the exclusive privilege of roaming in tn
fields of ideal capital to about one hundre
monepolists, who control our single Stat
Bank.

Legislative proceedings.

A great deal of time was consumed
in the Senate, on Saturday, in discussing
the propriety Of keeping up the present or
ganization of the Senate in the regular ses-
sion of 1859. The whole matter was finally
laid on the table. aa f'a..i.d'f ti Ga.
Various reports were made from Commit
tees on bills of no importance. The old and
interminable Kansas question was brought
up by Mr.. Jones, in the form of the follow-
ing Joint Resolution e 81
WHEREAS, 1t is at this time eminently fit
and proper that frank expression of opin-
ion on the only living political issue of the
day should be made by the Senators and
Representatives of the State of Indiana, in
the Legislature; therefore
Be il Resolved, &c., That Robt. J.Walker,
late Governor of Kansas, in his efforts to
effect fair settlement of the Kansas diff
culties, proved himself worthy of his high
position; and the failure of the President to
sustain him, has merited and received the
condemnation Of the people of Indiana
{ ResotUed, That the attempt made by the
President and Congress to force the Lecomp-
ton Constitution upon the people of Kansas
against their expressed will, is regarded by
the people of Indiana as direct attack on
the right of the people to govern themselves.
Resolued, That the doctrine enumerated by
Jesse D. Bright, in the Senate of the United
States, that athe principle of submitting
constitutions to direct vote ofthe people, i:
vicious principle" is an anti-Democratit
and vicious doctrine, and that Jesse d
Bright and Graham N, Fitch, in pronlulgat
ing that and other doctrines, stand opposed
to the known sentiments of the people o
Indiana.

BGr The plot tor getting the $3,000,00O
of sinking fund commissioners, without
adequate security and guards, is likely to be
defeated. The original bill has received its
~~-~~-s sIow. It fss peen committed to a
select committee with instructions to report
bill simply providing for " funding and
repaying the amount now due from the
State" This will bring the subject up in
an entirely new form. 1t is evident from
the discussion and vote on the motion to
refer, that no act in the form of the original
bill can pass the House.
The able and earnest opposition of Mr..
Murray TO the bill from the Committee on
Ways and Weans, contributed to defeat the
dangerous project. The safest depository of
the sinking fund, as soon as it can be dis
tributed, will be with the counties, TO be
managed as the other school funds now are.
These funds have been we'll and prudently
managed, and being loaned on mortgages
to the citizeds of each county, the people of
all parts of the State have participated
equally in the advantages of The nse of
them.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Stinson voted
against the commitment of the BILL and
Mr.. Blythe paired off with Mr.. Davis OF
Floyd. The latter gentleman was original
ly in favor of the Bill, but after due con-
sideration became its leading opponent
Mr.. Blythe appears to have been in favor Of
creating Board of Commissioners tc
manage the fund. @
