NEANDER's SISTER.

A writer in an English magazine says
of the sister of Neander
This sister was a lively, ehatty little
woman, often very " loudly" dressed in
the strangest mixtures Of colors. Ener-
getic and practical in character, she took
an interest in all sorts of matters-in
concerts, the opera, the fashions of the
day, and so forth-things which scarcely
had any existence for her brother. She
also wrote poetry; and on some occasions
she made the impression of a rather
woTIjly-minded person. Her personal
appearance was as Jewish as his. Her
end of the table at the dinner party
given every Sunday to young University
teachers, students and friends, was gen.
orally a scene of the greatest merriment,
while at her brothers end reigned the
profoundest theological %solemnity and
She used laughingly to say, Here is the
fworld, yonder is the Church" Her de-
votion to her brothers interests, how
ever, and her care for his comfort and
health, knew 10 bounds; indeed, she
may be said to have sacrificed everything
fcs hiu from the time whoJ he was a
~schooliey in Hamburg, to the day Of his
death; and simply out of love to him,
she declined several offers of marriage
which were made to her. She survived
him only four years, during which period
her dearest occupation was to buy up all
the portraits Of " her August" Of every
kind. that she could get into her hands ;
and though she vas almost deprived Of
her eyesight, she would sit hour after
sour gazing at them, and at a little bust
of him which seood on her table.

The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin
has the following on the subject OF q
river and marine shipping association.
Il is a subject Of much Importance to
Memphis, and we give it entire:
The SANDER upon the peace OF our city,

best thing we can do Is to make that

signments to our city. We have stated
the impedimsnts to cur through trade 20
consist:
L. Charges Of insurance. way and port
charges aud Custom House delays.
There is, however, another cause, which
relates to the navigation interests them
selves.
Il is 3 want OF connection between the
river and sea going craft. Let u givesn
exsmple. A river barge or steamer
brings e cargo Of wheat or -four for FIR
eign or cosstwiss shipment. The -four
must be consigned TO q war house.
There are about fifteen items Of charge
on this -four, amounting in round num-
bsFs 10 at least twenty five cents q bar
rel. The tEsDafer is attended With more
or less delay, but the chief obstacle to the
trade consists ia the want of q proper IN
~derstgnding between the shipping inter-
ests which conduct these exports. SDp.
pose this cargo arrives when there Il very
little empty tonnage, az must be always
the eass during th= cotton season. There
is a great temptation TO the ocean ship
ping sgent to raise the rates on the river
boat or barge When this division Of
the through freight comes to be made,
tie ocean vessel g-ts the isrgeT STARE,
and the river vessel may even sustain a
loss. We m3y here state that 8 river
steamboat recently brought down 3 lot
of Hour on g through bill OF ladiug TO
Boston. The coast vessel that took the
-four charged 80 much Tor the service that
the river steamboat which had signed
the bill, &C ually paid the ocean steamer
S12 more than she recsived for bringing
the cargo from 81. Louis TO New Ocleans.
THus The river steamboat paid twelve
dollars premium for the privilege Of ear
rying that cGrgo.
Perhaps the s. slipping agent copgTstu-

contract, but when the news Of those

The offerings OF cotton bills yesterday
were very fair at some houses, snd others
again were unable to get all they wanted.
Rates are therefore irregular. 4 few Of
our banking houses have regular Gus

elsewhere, because they know that at 10

exceptions for large amounts.
The demsnd for Exchange is very good

Within a few days, continues the Gazette,

q crime, and ignorance cannot serve s

protect the public from injury, whether
arising from stupidity or design, by pro-

Saving.

4 man is very apt to deceive himself
into the idea that he cannot save, and it
is of no use attempting it. He convinces
himself that his income is little enough
for present necessities, and puts off the
hope of accommodating, if he forms it
at all, to the happy period when he
shall be in better circumstances, His
circumstances do, perhaps, improve but
his wants have extended as much, and
still the time for saving is far ahead.
Thus he goes on and on, resolving and
~re-resolving, until ne is at last surprised
by some sudden calamity, which deprives
him even Of his ordinary wages, Of by
death, which cruelty cuts him off in the
very midst OF the best intentions IN the
world. Did any man, we would ask, ex-
p%erience a falling off in his income, even
so much as a dollar in a week? Many

bread rose a penny a loaf, and other
provisions in proportion, you still con-
tinuej to make your income procure
something like the usual exhibition of

I would ask, is the difference between
spending a small extra sun upon certain
articles of food, and laying It by for
communicating, ~supposing it not to be
50 needed? 1t is clear chat If you had
the fortitude aud strength Of character
to make the saving as much a matter of
~compulsion as the other circumstances
are. you would You have, there
fore, no excuse to present for not saving
it except that you are too weakminded to
abstain from using money that is in
