that Radicalism is dishonest in every
sense Of the word. They know by their

into savings banks or life insurance
companies. Compared with the earn
ings and the taxations ofthe industri-
| al classes, investments they made in
| this way are a mere flea bite. The
money of these people of small mes rs
Is, for the most part, invested IN the
way Of trade, implements of industry,
&c, &C., or IN some little comforts
for the household. The savings
banks and insurance companies part
amounts to but very little.
However, Mr.. Seymour's remark
may well draw attention to the bogus
character Of most of these institu-
tions. Ii Is not long ago that had it
seemed best, we might have created a
panic among many of them by stating
facts that were of our certain knowl-
edge. We say, now, thatwe consider
most of these " Savings Banks ut
terly trustees. There are few OF. them
and the Emigraut's industrial Saw
ings Bank is in the first line OF these.
that have not loaned to the Gov
eminent more than they can lose
without the slightest danger to, their
depositors. These substantial savings
banks have enough and more IN real
estate investments to pay every de-
positor. We recommend our readers
to take notice of Gov. Seymour's
warning, that there are great many
of these savings banks and insurance
companies that have little or no solid
securities. 1t issbetter, now that the
first of July is coming, for our friends
interested. to draw their deposits
from these kiting affairs, and put
their money where 1t will be safe.
But, as to the aggregate of'the earn
lngs, and taxlngs OF the industrial
classes, Mr.. Seymour is carried away
by his fancy In supposing that any
but trifiiHg proportion is invested in
savings banks and life insurance COM
panies-especially of so bogus char
aeter as they would be if based on
bonds and stocks in the markell The
rural life that our excellent ex-Gov-
ernor has been leading Of late, has
led him into another error, in which
he has put the cause for the effect,
and the effect for the cause. Alr.
Seymour says: -.
= Our paper money is not at par, in
coin, because our national credit is
r.fafi -es
Now, thesSlmple fact Is that cur ma
tional credit is dishonored because
the Government has put afioat as
f" money" and borrowed huge sums on
paper, that was not at par in coinl
We're it not for the affection of the
toiling millions. and ofthe widows and
orphans; it might be magnanimous to
buy up this deprecated paper afoat,
dollar for dollar In gold. But it
will crush the. poor into the dust
to try and do It'll And, it will help
only the rich-or those that least need
help. The thing the country groans
for is to get rid of this huge debit
Mr.. PendIeton proposes a way to do
it, honOrably, and without hurting
any one, or disturbing our circulating
currency. Elk Governor Seymour, we
are panied to see, proposes TO per-
petuate the debtor that must be
the end of any economy" of politi-
clans without financial plan-and
only exhorts the debtors, or tax pay
ers, to have confidence in the bond
holdersl For one, we can't do it.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Oriental Customs.

It is wonderful how oriental customs remain unchanged by the lapse of time. The wedding of the heir to the throne of Persia, which took place quite re- gently, was accompanied by all the characteristics described in the "Ara- bian Nights" The bride was enclosed in carriage painted sky blue and or namcnted with arabesques, and drawn by six led horses. Before her went six gigantic wrestlcrs, tossing mighty clubs into the air; also young dancing men, and a band of yiolins, trumpets and tamborines. Behind came train of mules bearing curtained filters, on which were her lady attendants. Es- corted in this manner she iourneyed thirty-two days from home toward the capitol, and was met at little distance by party of Persian lords and digili- taries mounted upon richly caparison- ed horses. The picture was completed by two files of soldiers in picturesque costumes, who surrounded the whole
 
 assemblage.
 In the East things do not change. As Abraham pitched his tent in Beth cl, so does an Arab Shiek now set up his camp; as David built his palace on Mount Zion, so would Turkish Pash- aw now arrange his house. In every street may be seen the hairy children of Esau, squatting on the ground, de- vouring mess of lentils like that for which the rough hunter sold his birth right. Along every road plods the sons of Rachael, whose fathers, thou sands of years ago, bound themselves and theirs to drink no wine, plant no tree, enter within no door, and their children have kept the oath l.; and at every khan are young men around the pan of parched corn dipping their mor- sells into the dish.

A Word For Rows.

Truth is one of the rarest gems.- Many youth has been lost to society by allowing it to tarnish, and foolishly throwing 1t away.
 If this gem still shines in your bo- som, suffer nothing to displace or dim it's lustre.
 Profanity is mark of low breeding Show us the man who commands the best respect; an oath never trembles on his tongue. Read the catalogue of crime. Inquire the character of those who depart from virtue. Without a single exception, you will find them to be protane. Think of this, and do not let vile word disgrace you.
 Honesty, frankness, generosity, yir- tue-blessed traits Be these yours, my boys, and we shall not fear. You will claim the respect and love of all You are watched by your elders. Men who are looking for clerks and apprentices have their eyes on you. If you are profane, vulgar, theatre-going, they will not choose you.

 "My wrist is stiff and sorc," said the Captain. of I had waited until to- morrow I should have done better.-- Again.
 He received the other pistol with his left hand. But he was very pale, and the drops started upon his brow, and coursed down the plaster that covered the gashcs left by the whip.
 At the word he fired; but the ball struck at the Earl's feet; he had not strength enough to raise the weapon.
 The Earl had evidently, and with in- tention, fired in the air. He said after wards, 'T saw that the man could not raise his pistol it would have been murder to have shot him in that con- dition."
 Still the Captain insisted upon an- other shot. His seconds remonstrated, protested, and refused to load the pis- tols; and, pending the discussion, the wounded man sank from the support ing arm of the surgeon, and fell groan- ing upon the green sward.
 "I-I believe-Im too weak" he muttered feebly. "We must wait till another time."

cultivation of the Pea-nut.

"The plant is an annual, and its branches extend horizontally on the ground from one to two and half feet in every direction. Its yellow blos- som is on slender stem. which, after the germ fertilizes, grows downward, and places the embryo pea two or three inches beneath the surface of the ground. Hence the necessity ofa loose soil for good crop. Land little sandy or loamy, and fertile is best. It should be very deeply plowed and mel low, as then the roots run deeply in search of nutriment. The rows may be three or four feet apart, and on ridges thrown up by the blow as for sweet potatoes, or on level ground which is usually preferable, especially in dry season. The seed which should be of good size, comes up better if the husk is removed before planting; it may be placed two in a hill, and cover ed about two inches deep, the hills a
 foot distant from each other, about the time for planting corn. After they are up, thin to one in a hill, and trans plant where missing. The cultivation then necessary is to keep the ground mellow, slightly milling it about the plant, and free from grass or weeds The early cultivation may be mostly by horsepower, but the later working must be with the hand hoe. I have raised them in Mississippi with but little greater care than is required for crop ofcorn. They continue to grow until frost, and yield, under favorable circumstances, from fifty to one hun dred and fifty bushels per acre. When dug they should be spread to dry nn- der roof, and those for planting kept from freezing. If frozen in the ground they are not injured, but out of it they thaw so suddenly as usually to prevent germination. A stout four-pronged fork is useful in digging, and they will nearly all come up on the.roots. They contain q large proportion of oil, said to be preferable to that from the olive for table use, this renders them excel lent for fattening hogs. It is the opin- ion of some good planters that it pays to grow them for swine. The best manner of preparing the peanut for eating is to roast them in hot ashes, or better in cmbers well covered with ashes to exclude air and keep them from burning. Though very palatable, they are easily digested, owing to their large quantity of oil"

MEMORY.
ny rIrz-anEnxn nALlncx.

Strong as that power whose strange control
 Impels the torrents force, Directs the needle to the pole, And bids the waves of ocean roll
 In their appointed course; l.ss So powerful are the ties that bind The scenes of childhood to the mind; So firmly to the heart adhercs the memory of departed years. Whence is this passion in the breast,
 That, when the past we view, And think of pleasures once possessed, In Fancy's fairest colors dressed,
 Those pleasures we renew! And why do Memory's pains impart A pleasing sadness to the heart! What potent charm to all endears The days of our departed years! True-many rosebud blooming gay,
 Life's opening path adorns; But all who tread that path will say That mid the flowers which strew it's way,
 Are cares corroding thorns. Yet still the bosom will retain Affection ev'n for hours of pain; And we can smile, though bathed in tears, At memory of departed years. 'Tis distance our bewildered gaze
 On former scenes beguiles. And Memory's charm the eye betrays; Fer, while enjoyments it displays,
 And robes the past in smiles, Its tlattering mirror proves untruc,-- Conceals the sorrow from our view,-- And hides the griefs, the doubts, and fears, That darkened our departed years' Time, when our own, we oft despise,-
 When gone, it's loss deplorc; Not till the fieeting moment flies, Do mortals learn it's worth to prize,
 When it returns no more. For this an anxious look we cast, With fond regret on hours iong past; For this the feeling heart reveres The memory of departed years.
