''Ger money, my son" said the old gentle
man, honestly if you can /; but at any rate,
get money" Some such advice as this seems
to have been accepted by the Rothschild
family, il We may believe the following ac-
count OF how Nathan, the London member
Of the iir@ sa,sAc pile, at the battle of
Waterloo.
The means used may seem to be uninitiated
mind very much like cheating and rascality,
even when perpetratet by gentlemen so
wealthy and so distinguished.
Nathan, in London, amassed money with
great rapidty, and the same may be said OF
the others, the wars of Napoleon being favor
able to the business of the house. Nathan
went to the Continent to witness the opera
tons of Wellington in his last compaigp
against Napoleon, prepared to act win iha
utmost energy, let the result pc as might.
He Witnessed the battle of Waterloo, and,
when assured of Napoleon's defeat, rode all

memorable year was dismal day in London.
The battle was fought on the 18th. Nathan
Meyer, of the House of the Red Shield,
by hard riding, reached London at midnight
ON the 10th. On the morning of the the goth
the news was over town that the cause OF the
alies was lost, that Napoleon had swept all
before him. England had been the leading
spjrit of the struggle against Napoleon. The
treasury of Great Britain had supplied
funds to nearly all Of the allied Powers. If
their cause was lost what hope was there for
the future? Bankers flew from door to door
in eager haste to sell their stocks. Funds of
every description went down. Anselm Mey

sale, but he was not in tine market, he too
had stocks for sale. What would they give?
But meanwhile he had scores of agents pur-
chasing. Twenty-four hours later yelling

CHAPTER |.

Society at Norminstcr was full of delicate
graduations. Not many rich people lived
there, and not many distinguished; but
there existed a permanent population of
gentry, ascending by visible steps from the
municipal dignties, who were chiefly dis
sentcrs, and in trade, to his grace the bishop,
and his eccentric honor, the Earl of Eden,
who occupied dingy mansion in the Min
stcr-yard. The community was strong in
dowagers o the church and army, in spin
sters of means, and spinstcrs of youth and
beauty, but in men to marry them it was
weak and decidedly wanting. The young
divines, who looked so nice at evening par
ties, had nearly all nothing; the young Off
GERS, who set off the ballroom so charming
ly, had nearly all less than nothing. 1t was
gravely remarked during the past winter,
when the garland of pretty girls was more
than usually gay, that there was only one
eligible match in soeiety-only one-a sal
low, dapper brewer, still young at five-and-
thirty, who had succeeded TO the business
which had enriched his family for three gen.
eratlons, and was rcaping to his sole har.
vest the gains that had hitherto been divided
by three partners. II was the many -daugl-
tered matrnns who admired Mr.. clarkson-
not the daughters themselves, unless they
were roses that had bloomed and lllshetl
through several fruilloss seasons.
Mr.. Clarkson lived in II handsome house
which his father had built, about five min
utes' walk beyond ii villa where Mrs.
Wynyard lodged with her girls. 1t was his
custom 10 so down to his office in the town
about twelve o'clock, when Anna and Lois
were usually setting forth for walk, ac-
compnied by an elderly governcss, who
came to give them lessons during the day.
A small terrier, delightfully."- ugly and queer,
invariably attended him, and after Il few
meetings the dog and Lois formed n speak
ing acquaintance. Anna carried her head
| in the air, and never condescended to notice
the grave, Insignificant gentleman, who
treated himself to II stare of respectful adj
miraliun whene, er they encountered. She
knew all. her immediate ncighbors by hel
landlady's report to her mother; and he
had been pointed out as "Clarlyson, tho
rich brewer;' description far too pro
sale 10 awaken in her the very slightest in
terest.
Next door 10 them, on the right, dwell
Mr.. Bingley, II well-to-do, wcll-looking ho
sier, of the Independent persuasion; thu
posscssor Of an exceedingly fair wife, and o
three of the neaicst, rosicst little boys il
Norminstcr. Next door to them, on tn,
left, dwelt the chldless widow Of a deceased
minor canon, with whom lived her nephew
the very handsome, able, popular, poor par

The Cincinnati Gazette objects to
Convention, IN relation to the cannl system
Of that State. 1t says:-'rhe mode is to
saddle the canal revenues with all the old
canal debt. the hack canal taxes and interest
and u sum i"r the support of the State gov
ernmrnt. and Ia provide by the Constitution
that all this. amounting TO over Gs millions,
must lm paid with the interest, out of the
canal revenues. before any reduction shall
BIZ made in the tolls, or any money cxpend-
ed for the enlargement. and then this expen-
diture shall be limited by the surplus canal
revenue.
No enlargement will ever be made on
those conditions, and it is probable that be-
fore the calculated time had expired, the de-
mand for enlargement would cease by a
diminution of business. Cheaper routes
will be found to the seaboard than through
the State of New York, with the dimen-
sions and tolls Of her canals as they are
now. The carrying trade TO the seaboard by
the Northern routes, by lake, river and
rail is continually enlarging. The COM
pletion of railroad route from Ogdens-
burg to Portland will in our opinion
carry as much ocean bound freight as
either of the grcat New York railroads.
The introduction of the barge system on the
Mississippi and its tributaries is greatly
cieapening freight TO Europe by the river
and Gulf route Easily practicable improve
ments in the Upper Mississippi will restore
to this natural channel the trade of II great
district that has been forced to the lake
route.
Southern railroad routes are continually
being improved, connecting ocean lines es-
tablished and new railroad routes Will be ad-
ded. The completion of the James River
Canal route will create river and canal navi-
CATION to the seaboard, which will be open
nearly the year round. The railroad routes
across southern Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and
Virginia, are not developed TO near their full
capacity B,idges and better connections
will greatly, increase them, and all these
things are In progress. New York has no
monopoly of the routes from the West to the
seaboard, and If upon this idea she adopts a
policy of levying tribute upon it she will
stop its growth, and she may find that the
conditions which she proposes to fix upon
the enlargement of the canals will limit busi-
ness within their present capacity, and will
thus make the enlargement apparently un-
necessary.

ny GRACE HOPE.
Oh! glorious river Brandywine,
Upon thy banks sit
And note the beauties that are thine
While shadows round me fit.
Thy glory rare has won my heart,
Thy charms 10 me have flown,
Entranced see thy waters stalt
Like to this life own.
Like 10 this life Is thy cbb and flow,
Changeful and bright Its streams;
Sparkling and clear thy pillows 90,
Thus varied and joyous my dreams.
Oh! beautiful river, I'll make thee my shrine,
Each chord of my heart Is nnstrung
And thrilled with the glory so rare and divine,
For ages that round thee has clung.
Upon thy fair bosom alone here think,
While heavens pure sunlight doth cast
It's gold tinted shadows, to steal DER thy brink
Like memories sweet of the past.
and mingling within thy low music there falls
The pure evening wind like bell,
Een like to the pleasures fond mem'ry recalls
In heart temples only to dwell.
My thoughts sink deep in thy crystal caves,
They roam In thy pillows so free,
While beautiful visions arise on thy waves,
And CLEAN in new beauty DER thee.
And music gentle as some plainlivc song
Thy murmurlngs low do unfold,
Echolng mild then sweetly along
TIL new joys the heart doth behold.
Oh grandly supreme each scene thai enwreathc.
Thy waters, bright river 80 gay,
When sunsets gold hue around thee still brcathes
Or moon-beams laugh thro thy spray.
Still glorious and great fary-llke home
Upon thy bosom I'd build,
The heavens so blue above for dome,
Thy fair beauties ever would gild
o. beautiful river go from thee now.
From thy waters md ruined old MILL
May life be TO me as smooth as thy brow,
leave thee, yet dream of thee still.
o! glorious river Brandywinc,
May life be like to thine own,
And fate have in store such beauties as thine
When earlier dreams have flown

Arrnirnm.nt Of surratt.

We take the following account from
the Cincinnati Commercial of Mon
day.
Surratt was on Saturday arraigned
before the Criminal Court in Wash
ington. He was attired in suit of
black When brought into court his
hands were handcufed, but at the re-
queDt of his counsel the Court ordered
them released. The indictment was
then read to him by the Clerk. Sur
ratt entered the plea, mot guilty"
The Clerk asked, "How will you be
tried?" to which the response was
made, "By my countrymen," when
the offer added, "Then may God
send you a safe deliverance The
handouts were replaced and the pris.
oner remanded to Jail. No excite
ment was manifested during his pres.
ence in court. Sanford Conover, re.
Gently convicted Of perjury, was also
present, awaiting sentence, the pris-
oners, being side by side at the bar :
No day has yet been fixed for Surratt's
trial, but it is thought it will be in
March.

Mr. james Stockdale being called,
spoke at some length, of the impor-
tance of the enterprise and expressed
confidence in its success if properly
managed He referred to the necessi-
ty OF specifying the route on which it
was proposed IN build the road, and,
that he would probably differ with
some Of the gentlemen present as to
the route. He favored the old New
ark road and spoke of the advantages
it would afford the Fairfield Union

would work detrimentaIly to the in
terests OF the Institution.

and the necessity of vigorous prose.

with Mr.. StockdaIe respecting the ef-
feet of any other line than that pro
posed. He believed that the central
route with branch from the nearest
point to the Academy would be at
tended with all the advantages the
gentleman had proposed. He howev-
er favored compromise en- whatever
way the most money could be secured.
