Trusting in providence.

Among the many narrowing scenes OF
distress and death our city witnessed
during the epidemic, some ludicrous
things were noticed. A case in point is
that of certain grave and reverend
gentleman, which plainly illustrates how
irreconcilable are the faith and works of
some people. The gentleman referred
to was like the old lady whose horse ran
away, who trusted in the strength of the
reins until they broke, and then trusted
in Providence. When the fever first
made its appearance in our midst he i'm
mediately proceeded with railroad speed
to place some four or five hundred
miles between himself and the infected
district" and when safely landed among
the mountains of East Tennessee, seated
himself to write to friend, one of the

upon him the safety and necessity of
implicit reliance upon Divine Provi-
dence in the following language;
"We are as safe, my brother, in the
storm as in the calm, as safe upon the
sea as upon land, as safe in the midst of
pestilence as in health. o, blessed
factl"
All of which must have proven very

PEELED, in order to escape the plague, to GO
about with bag of assafetida about his

The money market continues steady,
with light transactions except In ex-

the heavy shipments Of cotton being
made during the past few days. Cotton
to-day is again active, with large sales,
aud in consequences there is brisk de-
mand for Eastern and New Orleans ex-
change. New York and New Orleans
sight bills rule at so discount, though a
few bankers demand &c as the rate.
Boston demand bills are &c discount.
Bankers drafts on New Orleans aud

quest, with no transactions and quota
tons unchanged. Arkansas and Missis-
sippi stocks remain dull and nominal.
The same may be said Of railroad stocks,
as there is nothing doing in them.
