tbinos to the broad noon-day of unlimited

Pecuniary losses become the worst OF misior-
turcs. he WHO owes and cannot pay is the
viest of criminals rivals in trade are hated
and. if possible, crushed, until society seems to
he held together only by the cohesive power of
mutual loss and gain. Here and there Is a
man who is driven from his equanimity by the
prospect of insolvency, and is half mad because
he has promised what he cannot perform; but
failure to most is distasteful because it will
entail diminution of Importance, and imply
a want of commercial talent. A third or
fourth place in the race may content
the majority but to be wholly distanccd
is intoerable. In one of Mr.. lrvngs
earliest but most exquisite sketches there is
the story of a merchant who was overtaken by
bankruptcy, and whose principal thought was
of the discomforts and privations which his
young and lovely wife would be forced, Ill
consequence of his revcrses, to suffer. 1t Is
hardly necessary to remind the reader of the
delightful moral of the tale-of the cheerful
acquiescence of an amiable and loving woman
in misfortune, of the summer light which her
presence difused throughout the new and
humble homo. If men would but remember
how many excellent pleasures, how many ele-
waiting pursuits, how many of the worthest
ends, are quite independent of mere material
wealth if they would but consider the ambi-
tions which best become our better nature; II
they would but think how truth. and love, and
constancy, and self sacrifice. are Oftenest most
beautifully developed in an atmosphere oil
poverty; if they would but reflect
that no bankruptcy can deprive them
of the charms of nature, of the gratlfica-
tons of study, of the happiness of home, they
might be less eager in the pursuit of wealth,
and less inconsOlable for the loss of it. But
we have forgotten the better half of the lesson
which Dr. Franklin taught us. We are willing
enough to thrive luxuriantly, but we are not
willing to enjoy moderately. 1t is safe to say
that none of the admontions of that fine old
man, which are oftenest quoted in defense oil
acquisition, referred to enormous aggregatlons
of private wealth such as in our day have be-
come almost too common for notice Happy
is he who can hit upon the happy medium
who can fairly decide for himself the relative
value of different schemes of life; and who
can be content with poverty if it be his por-
ton, or wise in the use Of wealth should 1t be
vouchsafed to him.

MAKING HASTE TO BE RICH.


The dreadful domestic tragedy which has
just occurred in Phladelphia-the murder by
an insane husband of his wife and two
children, and his subsequent suicide-is full of
warning to a large class of men who believe
themselves to be peculiarly exempt from in
tellectual infrmities. Mr.. Blackstone, the I'M
fortunate gentleman who destroyed himself
and his family, had invested his capital in a
business which was really prosperous and
profitable but by the dishonesty of an ac-
countant, a considerable amount of cash had
been embezzled. There was no deficiency
which the resources Of the partnership were
not ample to meet but the theft and loss Of
so large sum overthrow the mind of Mr..
| Blackstone, until in his madness he sought
with perverted tenderness to save those who
were dear to him from want by
cOnsigning them to the tomb. The mo-
tive, if man i'll his condition can
be said to have motive. was I'M
dOubtedly creditable to the best feelings of his
nature but the original deluson was mis-
taken notion, a melancholy and morbid over
estimate of the value and importance of
money. This delusiOn has at all times been a
fruitful source of insanity. 1t has filled the
brains Of squalid alchemists with dreams at
once pleasure and pain; it has begliled
the half-clad and half-fed miser into a con-
tentment with nakedness and an indifference
to hunger it has destroyed the sweetest natu-
raj relations and changed brothers to enemies;
it has caused those who were at first ingenu-
GUS to become badly subtle and full of dissim-
ulation 1T has proved too strong for constitu-
tional benevolence, and has made the hand
close and gripping which nature meant should
be generously open; it has developed new
forms of felony and led men into pc
culiar and irresistible temptations; il has
provoked disgracetul breaches Of the
most sacred trusts and the cruel
spOliation of the widow and the fatherless;
and for more than mOiety of all the pain
and misery of this grooming globe it is either
directly or indirectly responsible. But avaIice
can hardly be considered at this time distn-
gushing mark of the money-maker. Gener-
ally, il his gains have been great, his expend-
lures have kept pace with them, and he has
been anxious to proclaim by luxurious osten-
tation the golden favors which have been be-
slowed upon him. But it is easy to see that
this prOfusion only adds to his eager appetite
by increasing the demand upon his check book.
To be rich contents the miser TO be thought
rich is the passion of the modern votary of
Plqtus: This is not feeling which is confined
to Wall-st., nor does it influence those alone
who stir the foundations OF the market by largo
transactions. IL mans sphere he mar
row one, within that sphere he wishes
to be thought successful; and he looks
eagerly forward from the twilight Of small

Our news from our sister State is cheering.
Connecticut has rejected her present Demo-
cratic State officers and chosen instead their
Republican competitors by a small Majority.

Republican gain. James +. BabcOck "a john

caped defeat in running for Congress IN
the New-Havcn District, which went Demr

jority. William II. Barnum Dem.) is
barely reelected in the Fairfield and Litch-
field District, over Sidney b. Beardsley, Repub-
lcan. In the New-London and Windham
District, Henry II. Starkweather, Republican,
is of course reelected by large majority. So
we have net gain of one in the delegation
half of it instead Of fourth. The Legislature
is probably Republican by a small majority,
securing the ratification of the XVIII Amend
ment at least so far as Connecticut is con-
cerned. The Republican triumph seems COM

And now the pillars of the Government are
totterng to their final fall They have done
it rhetorically great many times, but at last
the thing is solemn and portentous reality.
For hero has been the President nominating

Mason and Toombs were late the ornaments,
confirming niger and piece of property,
stolen from his lawful owner by n vandal
sOldiery during our late mholy war, to be

chiyalric State of South Carolina. Charles NJ.
Wilder is the name of him, black the color,
and the late probable value about fifteen hun
drcd dollars on the auction block. The enter
prising slaves who bought themselves at high
figures in 1Sj9-60, generally declared
two or three years later that "niggers was
mighty poor speculation" But the value of
this particular chattcl seems to have risen on
the declining market, for the United States
Government now proposes TO pay him three
thousand two hundred dollars year for hand
ing ont letters to the ladies and gentlemen of
Columbia
After ALL the old Arkansas quotation is
the true one: "Niggers is riz.' We have
lived TO see the day when the Nation that leld
three millions of Africans in bondage has
made its late slaves free of all the rights. and
privileges of genuine democracy. But lately

the part Of benevolent persons generally, and
in particular of those who are making de-
mands for what are called "women's rights"
If it is fact that q slSillful seamstress can OBJ
tain only 81 12l for a long and faithful weeks
work, it is time for the world to know 1t, for
it is manifest that with this insignificant sum
little more can be bought than the plainest food,
leaving fuel, clothing, and rent to be provided
by other means-by means that may be sur
missed. We say, if these prices really are as
stated then to ascertain them beyond dis
pute, and to give them the widest publicity,
will be among the first steps in a needed
reformation. Meanwhile, it ought to be sub
ject Of inquiry why there should not be an OF
ganization which shall open a place Tor the
manufacture and sale Of such work as women
are capable of doing, and one in which they
will receive just reward for their industry.

The Hon. Noah Davis of this State has sub

increase the salaries of our principal Revenue
Officers in the Department of Customs, and
thercupOn deprive them of "all fees, fines,
commissions, penalties and fOrfcitures what
sOever."-We hope il may not pass; for, If it
should our strongest safeguard against fraud
ulent entries and undervaluatiOns would be
swept away, and importers would thenceforth
pay just about such amounts as they should
prefer to DO. They underyalue and smugse
now, in spite Of the peril of seizure and con-
JlscatiOn; they would do both to an immensely
greater extent, if it were no ones personal
interest to expose and detect them. The bill
proposes that we continue and even increase,

ORR CITY MARRETS.

The Public Market system which we have
inherited is one adapted to large villages and
small cities In these, it is convenient to have
n definite place at which farmers and gardeners
from the adjacent rural districts may expect
to meet those who wish to purchase fresh
meats, vegetables, eggs, butter, &c. &C., at
first hands, thus saving the charges of middle
men. Our old Markets have done good in their
day, and we cheerfully attest it.
But we have outgrown them. Very few
farmers, with loads Of their own produce re-
spectively-a dressed sheep or calf, n quarter
of beef, nice shote, basket of eggs, pot
of butter, a bag of chestnuts, &C., &c--now
visit our City; and those who do have no
standing in our markets. These are simply
hucksters' shops, oyster stands, and butchers
stalls, huddled together Gin lmost admired
disorder" with substratum of filth and
fcculence wherein rats and other vermin breed
aud riot in plenty and security They, and u
few corporation officials, are interested in
keeping up the Market system; everybody
else will be benefited 10y its overthrow Let
the City sell the Markets outright, and retire
from the huckstering business then we shall
have clean, sweet, cOmmodious Markets, To-
Gated just where they are needed, and re-
moved whenever population shall! have de-
serted them. Give us the needed change at
