The correspondent OF the Haseksys says
that the usury Law has passed both Houses,
and that ID imposes the penalty OF fine and
imprisonment, and the loss of all the inter-
eat, for usury. This correspondent wrote ON
the cath; Mr.. Rankin left on the Goth, and
informs us that that law had not passed
when he left.
At the latest advices, no appraisement Law
had passed, and it was doubtful whether the
two houses could agree.

Pictures.

A room With pictures in it, and a
room without pictures, differ BY nearly
as much as room with windows, and
room without windows. Nothing
we think, is more melancholy, partic-
alarly Co q person who has to pass
much time in his room, than blank
walls with nothing on them for pic
lures are loop-holes of escape to the
soul, leading it to other scenes and
other spheres. 1t is such inexpressible
relief to person engaged in writing,
or even reading, on looking up, not to
have his line of vision chopped of by
an odious white wall, but to find his
soul escaping, as it were, through the
frame of an exquisite picture, to other
beautiful and perhaps heavenly scenes,
whore the fancy for a moment may
reyel, refreshed and delighted. Thus
pictures are CONSIDERS Of loneliness !;
they are sweet 6attery to the soul !;
they are q relief to the jaded mind !;
they are windows to the imprisoned
thought they are books; they are
histories and sermons, which we can
read without the trouble over the
leaves.

Hotels & Boarding Houses:

The law in regard to hotels and
boarding honses has assumed the right
cast, both TO the keeper and his guests.
The keeper of hotel is liable for any
thing deposited in his hands, and the
party depositing is competent wit
ness TO prove the valne of the goods.
A proprietor is not responsible for
any articles of value, unless they are
put into his possession or his legal
representative. Be careful you do
not hand yonr chattels to any person
other than the responsible party. Spe-
cial legislation gives to keepers a lien
upon the goods of boarders, for board
ing due and unpaid, to a certain
amount. The proprietor must give
notice, after which he can proceed to
sale, and pay the owner any excess
over the claim. There is a special
Law IN this State which we will give
at aome future time.

SELF SEALING NEWSPAPER Wrap
PERs- The Postmaster General and

House have Recommended this new
postal article to the favorable action
of Congress, and bill is now before
that bcdy for its adoption. Consid-
ering the countless millions Of newspa
pers that are read throughout our
vast country, and the trihing postage
on each, it is believed that the stamp
ing Of these wrappers with q cent

Post Offices, the same as stamped en-
velopes, win furnish the public with q
neat, cheap, convenient, and much
needed means for enclosing newspa-
pers and al other transient printed
matter, and thereby increase tbs
amount Of such matter dispatched BY

spirit, he can go and last and when
the pace is so rafting that it kills, he
will be the longest to stay the distance
the last to give back, and it must be

Paul's Estimate of Heaven.

=
In speaking Of the eternal world,
the rapture of the apostle does not
escape him as a sally of the magma
tion, as a thought awakened by q sud
den glance of the object he does not
express himself at random from the
sudden impulse Of moment, but in
the sober tone of calculation. 81
reckon" he says, like a man skilled in
the spiritual arithmetic, at reckon
that the sufferings of the present time
are not to be compared with the glory
that shall be revealed in ns.''
No man was ever SO well qualified
to make this estimate. OF the suffer
ings of the present world, he had
shared more largely than any other
He had heard the words of God, aud
seen the vision of the Almighty, and
the result of this privileged experience
was, that he desired to escape from
this valley of tears that he was inn
patient to recover The celestial vision,
eager to perpetuate the momentary
state Of the glories of Immortality.

Description of G. M. Patchen.

. This noble horse, now eleven years
old, is fine deep blood bay with no
white, save q small star, black legs,
name, and tail is sixteen hands high,
and a great, strong, powerful steed,
fit to draw coach or drag a dray.
He is very long in carcass, deep in
his chest, very oblique in his shoulders
which reach far over his ribs. His
back is medium in length, he has i'm
mense quarters lying far forward in
to his waist, we'll muscled down to
his hooks, great second thighs, and
forearms, with broad bony hooks and
knees, great broad fiat bone below the
knees and hooks, with capital feet.
His neck is admirably and beauti-
fully arched head large and plain, but
very clean, long, and gamy in look I;
ear large, plain, and clear, almost lia-
phanons. His throttle IL free and
well detached the jaws wide open,
1 and the whole breathing system quite
perfection, from the great open, ex-
pansive .flostril, to the symmetrical
chest and powerful lungs. An eye of
fire, Of spirit and good temper, crowns
all, and tells Of a courageous heart and
bouAdless nervous energy.
Should not such a horse have phe-
nomenon's gait ? He should and has.
There is great sweep from the point
OF the hip to the hook, and there lies
his propelling power, In his shoulder
there is great reach, fully equal in ex-
tent to the driving power Of his great
launches, thighs, and hooks In his
gait he goes low and long, carries his
body steadily and level, without any
hitch, bounding, or rolling, and in
stride excels that Of any trotting horse
/ ever yet seen.saIn word, be is q
great mass of animal mechanics, in
whose heart is high courage, and in

John Randolph's Advice

When John Randolph was in Lon.
don, he wrote to q gentleman who
married his favorite niece. In it was
the following advice
Have NJ dealing that can possibly
be avoided with your neighbors. The
disregard of this caution will certainly
lead to squabbles and strife.
Take no receipt on loose pieces Of
paper Garry a receipt book in your
pocket and take all receipts in it; if
you are afraid of losing it, keep it in
your desk. Always have the receipt
witnessed when practicable.
Copy, or have copied, all your bills
ina book, so you mast at glance
see the cost of any article or branch
OF expense. Without accurate ac-
counts you must soon fall behindhand.
What voyage would ship make
without observation or reckoning p
You are now embarked on the ocean
OF life without good lookout, you
may be cast away.
Form no intimacies with yourneigh-
bors under seven years acquaintance.
The rigid observations of my own max
inns did not prevent the ill-blood be-
tween some Of my neighbors and my
sell. My maxims preserved me from
strife and from loss by those. With
the rest I was on the best of terms.
Economy-the adapting Of your
supplies judiciously TO the intended
end--this is the gift of God. It can.
not be taught at least. l have tried
to learn it all my life, without success
My mother had it in perfection.
Frugality-It is in the power of
every honest man, who means to re-
tain his honesty, to refrain from in-
dulging in expenses which he cannot
afford. A disregard of this maxim,
the result of their ignorant Incidence
of their own affairs, has ruined all my
name and race.
