The Shylocks don't seem 10 make very great head

o. modify those laws that the money changers
shave aud skin the needy borrower without the risks
of personal loss which attend those interesting
operations.
S,me weeks ago Mr.. Milliken introduced a bill
which fixes the legal rate Of interest al per cent
at present, and provides that where greater
interest than per cent is taken, agreed upon be-
tween borrower and lender, the party lending shall

that such woud be the effect Of the proposed law
and it my mpre ssiop that he will also sgnally fail
10 convince the House.
Mr. Barnett was opposed to any change in the
preaeDt law The tendency Of the proposed enactment
10 help the strong aud cripple the weska kind Of
Legislation Of which we have too much.
MIR. Wiley spoke against t1e bi-a measure which
he sure was demanded by the farmer, the me-

demanded 1.-THE Shylock Of modern times-and the
kind of protection which the needy borrower would

One man inarries woman because
she looks well when she dances-sbe
never dances afterwards. haolher man
marries because the lady has haud.
some foot and ankle, which, after mar.
rage, he never takes the trouble to adj
mire. A third manies for love, wli;cl,
wanes with the honey y.moon. A fourth
marries for money, and finds that his
wife does not choose to die, to complete
his satisfaction. A fifth, being old in
wisdom, as in years, marries a young
woman who soon. becomes a Suitable
match for him, by growing old with
gricf. Thousands do wrong because
others have Gone wrong before them.

blacks make n white" MANY embrace
a principle different from those com.
monty received, in order TO show that

whether erroneous prejudices are better
than those they have abandoned. All
grnmble at the nnsubs,antial nature of
worldly enjoyments, and yet many
