It was excursion day, Hnd the cars were neatly full when a lady, evidently in ill l e d b, entered, leading a little son of four or live years. She paused and looked around in vain for a vacant neat.

Rochester told David to be in wailing, and returned to the king. This text wnsatill the subject of conversation, and Rochester produced his Bible and read the text. It was from the parable of the treea of the woods going forth to aonoint a kinrroi i.r them Judges, 0th chapter and 13tli verse. "And ine vine saiu unto them, should 1 leave my wine, which cheereth God and man. and ,!n to be promoted over the trees." The king smiled, the queen Bfkcd paidon, the chaplain blushed. Rochester then asked thi Wi..e of Divinity if he could interpret the texl, now ii was prouueea. ine chaplain was mute. The earl therefore applied to David for the exposition. The cook immediately renlieil ? "How much wine cheereth maii Udfi,,,, Rochester in his eyes, your lord.hip knoweth, fno donbt David had seen him ju a don-n times, and that it cheereth God, I beg leave to say that under the Old Testament dispen dispen-Billion, - Billion, dispen-Billion, there mere meat offerings; the latter consisted of wine, which was typical of the blood of the Mediator, which, by a met metaphor, - aphor, metaphor, was s-iid to cheer God, as he was well pleased in the way of salvation, that he had appointed, whereby his justice was satisfied his law fulfilled, his mercy reigned, his grace triumphed, all his perfections.harmonized, the inner was saved, and God in Christ glorified."

Our Merchants have never enjoyed situh uninterrupted pr.etperity. Breaches of mer mercantile - cantile mercantile f i:h, or f-iiliiit- to meet commercial en engagements, - gagements, engagements, have been almost unknown, and thus the pmlit and loas account exhibits a range f entries all upon the credit side. "Wiiai next 1" is the question asked, or an xiouly eotlM lered on .-very side. Have we reached this h ight of prosperity only to make our fall the more disaeterous? Is the coin se if commercial affiirs always like the segment of a eircle described by a child's swing, and can then- be no progress without a cm responding reaction? Has the world grown no wiser with age than lhu to toil up the hill with the certainty that the ground will all be lost again? These are thought which will cum - in many during the long eve evenings - nings evenings that cloau in upon the days ol thu new year. There are, it is trtie, some signs of evil por portent. - tent. portent. We regard a the most dangerous the rapid increase of new banks. Tho principal danger from this source is not in the expens expenses - es expenses ot legitimate banking will be greatly in increased, - creased, increased, while the profits will only be divided. Nor is it so much in the h allliy expansion which will be created by the increased issue of paper money, although this is an tvil of great magnitude. The great danger lies in the fact that the control of the ourrency und the direction of the monetary affairs will pass, in u great measure, from thu hands of the ju judicious - dicious judicious and experienced into the hands of a new act of men, too little accustomed to such a change. The new banks are managed in a great degree by new hands, undisciplined by lorSe- reverses, nnd unaccustomed to thu dangers which are sure to be encountered. Like inexperienced mariners, they will carry carry-too - too carry-too Euch sail in fair weather, and way to too sudden a panic when the storm overtakes them. A large class of the new banks, too, are originated by borrowers instead of cap capitalists,, - italists,, capitalists,, and this will add neither to their cau caution - tion caution nor stability. Another indication of evil Is the rapid formation of new houses by young and inex inexperienced - perienced inexperienced clerks, who ought to bo k"pt under the control of wiser heads until they are more tit to be trusted to their own strength. Tho requisits for the successful management of mercantile bus nesa are greatly underrate I by a majority of the young business men in this country; and the melancholy diasters with which our commercial history in the past is so thickly strewed, seem to have no influence in deterring the young and adven adventurous - turous adventurous fpini embarking in the same desper desperate - ate desperate Biit-rpr se ' 'An I mmyeven of those who have some reason in setliiil Up for themselves. alinw but little-judgement tit the outset of tjieir career. 1 hey have no patience for the sm dl beginnings, the alow and aure earninga which have laid the found nion of all legiij. mite success in mercantile pursuits.

How far any one may apDriipriate llie thoughts of others without becoming obnoxi- tous to the charge of literary theft, has been a fruitful theme of discussion among the learn learned. - ed. learned. Sir Walter Scott, if we mistake not, de defended - fended defended the right of appropriating other men's ideas, provided on would clothe them in t . a. more attractive garo. aiiu we presume his most ardent admires will not deny that he has, in many instances, carried his theory in. to practice.- Byron Was also a strong advo advocate - cate advocate of the theory of mental appropriation. Many of his most beautiful thoughts were borrowed and transferred in almost the very weirds of the authors from tvhich they were taken. The shiowreck in Don Juan is nn almost literal transcript of a narrative publish published - ed published many years previous. Milton was an eminent apprnprialist. Ma Many - ny Many of his finest images are borrowed from Homer; while entile passages of the "Para "Paradise - dise "Paradise Lost" are taken almost litterally from the Inferno of Dante Shakspere (the most original of all mortals) borrowed nearly nil the plots of his plays from those who'had written before him; while thu choruses and incantations of the Whitches in Macbeth are mostly taken from a play by Hey wood. The lines." "Bubble, bubble, Toil and trouble, Fire burn, and Cauldron bubble.' are borrowed or stolen without the altera alteration - tion alteration of a single word. The celebrated line of Pope, .n honest man's the noblest work of God." is taken from one of the old Dramatists Beatinont, we think without quotation or credit. Coleridge "stole" entire pages of his me metaphysical - taphysical metaphysical speculation in the liioyraphia literaiin from a German nuthor. Souther was esteemed an eminent plagiarist among even his most anient admirers. Paley has been uprctttl of copious borrowing in his "Natural Theology," and Kuller was indebted for one af the most subtle arguments in the "Analogy," to the "Discourses of Socrates." Dumas has been charged with pilfering entire volumes; while doubts have been rais raised - ed raised ns to whether James come honestly by his "two horsemen." One of lleiidley's best inscriptions of a battle has been almost literary "copied" from Ali-ou's History;" while George Lippard accuses the same individual of the monstrous sin of tltalmtf from him! We are informed by the Albany Atlas that an eulogy on Webster, recently delivered by a Chief Magistrate of ohm i.f the in 1 1 1 r n States, turned out to be, ward lor word, Dr. Nott's '"i.tlon on tlie denlli of Hamilton.
