hired gal, Judy was a lama) smart critter; there
wasn’t a gal in all WeaUierfield could pull an
even yoke with her a atringin’ onions. Nothin
on arth puts a feller to his stumps like pulling in
the same team with a party gal—and between us
it aint no ways disagreeable to set down in the
middle of a patch of onions allrunnin’ to seed, to
work with a gallike Judy.. I say nothin, bat, by
grecions! if my heart hasn't boat like a patridge
on a dry log, sometimes when I’ve catcbed her a

hutas for conrtin, or any thing of that sort, sho
kept a feller ata distance, I can tell yon. I ruth,
or guess my ears eatched it once, hut I guesdl
wont tell or that, though. 1 don’t mean to aay
that Jody bad any thing agin sparking ill a regu

the paper curtains was all down and tho old folks
had gone to bed. It earn kinder natpral to act
up Ull two or three o'clock, and Jody want by no

She called Jndy all sons of things bulagoodgal
and n lady, and twitted her about being poor and
setting her cap for me. At last Jndy got her grit
up, and I rather gpaaa she finished off die old wo
man in fino style. I suffered a few between them,
I can tell ymi. The old woman begun to brag
about Samuel, for she’s felt mighty crank about

I conld'nt begin to give the lesst idea of the

sez she,a snapping her finger in the old wo

She wu a going on to give poor marm an aw-
fill drubbing, hilt I always think a feller must boa
mean ahoto that’ll stand muni and hear any body
call ids mother names,-whether she deceives them
or not. So I stepped up and stood right afore
Jndy, and I looked her right in the face, and, ees
I, ” Alias Judy,’’ sex I, “I don’t want to hear no
more of this ere; come-now, you and marm jest
hash up, end don’t let me hear another darned
word for I won’t stand it. ”
With that marm put her linacy Woolley epron

and, sez she ‘tit comes awful tough to be trod on
in one’s own house, I wont bear it, so there
now!"
“Now Judy,’’ sez I, “kinder coiling, just go
end-made up, inarm’s nguod-hearted critter, and
you know iu kinder natural for woman folks to
gitalittle crabbed once inn while.”
By gracious, if l wold’ut rather break n yoke -of

QUAINT THOUGHTS UPON THE TIMES,
SUGGESTED BY THE OPPOSITION
TO THE BRIDGE.
. Every ihonarch in Europe, perhaps, who ha*
reigned for any time, has left some memorial, in
atone and mortar of the peculiarities ofthe age in
which he lived, and historians and antiquarians,
like geologists will* the tooth of an extinct animal
classifying his genus, may point to these, as en
during records, of the ta$te'in architecture of the
whole nation. More than, half a century lias
passed over the heads of our people, and thous
ands and thousand* of Hut sovereigns hove fallpn
beneath the sod, and yet neither singly or combin
ed, have they left any material structures by which
either their own historios—their taste in architec
ture—their refinement, or their knowledge, may
be known hereafter. So that were this generation
passed away, we would leave the surface of the
earth little more rbib in the. monuments of our
greatness, than the poor and unlettered ravages
who preceded us. -To a practical) hard working,
money getting people, this may seem, but a tri
fling subject of regret, but we hope to inspire
even the worshippers of Mammon with a nobler
ambiUon on - this snbject—\ye hope to see even
in. our times, this all absorbing love of gain, give
way sufficiently, for us to consider the things that
arc due from uses one of the mightiest* nations
that has ever peopled the earth, or been known
in history. It is a very sad reflection,to think that
a mighty people shalfpajs away from tho face of
the earth and be known no more forever. Timo
is hurrying away more than ever the second gen
eration-—and to them, it is almost the same os if all
had perished with them. It is the end of time to
them. Something is due from one generation of
men to their successors, besides money—and all
wise men know, that inheritors of wealth ore not
the readiest builders, of monuments, even indi
vidual* mementoes, much less of public ones.—
The truth must be told, before there is a hope of
amendment. W.e are neglecting a part, and a
noble part, ofthe high behests pf our time and
position. We are careless of those things that re-
Hue a people, and adorn a country.. We trample
oh tho ashes of the most august men that ever
figured in the pages of history. We desecrate
the very fields enriched by the blood of our own
kindred—and where wits sealed a far prouder
Vc ura tho most.reckless
T know. Wo hurry
to Tact through this wot!.I, Uiatwo leave every
thinf behind—Julies and all—forgetful. that the
luster we hurry, the sooner we loud hi tho noxt.
- Talk of baitdhig enduring structures,to people
Dying oa Rail Roads. Our epitaphs and ceno
taphs*, end tomb-atones, tnayboall writtanand
erected on locomotives. The truth, if told of us,
would sound like bitter irony. If we keep moving
onwards at ourpresent rates,witliont casting an eye
to tho right or loft—John Gilpin's story will bo our
own; aud each man might have it written on hia
tombstone—Kero lies another Gilpin, who turn
ed his lifo into, ono groat contest of spoed—tho
earth into a Ulighiy rice-field—hia birth, tha start
ing post—and his death, the out come, lit out
ranovory thinga-diatancsdOld Time—compelled
Death to bolt from tho course, and rode into oter-
nity at full speed.
if the sqber old people whoorst rode npon’ase-
os, or took thqir pilgrim’s staves in their hands, in
times Ibnggono byi are permitted to look Joivn
upon our proceedings, how they must staro and
wonder at the way wo streak it. It ia well this
earth, with its globular form, has not regular steps
in it,else tho Yankees would him it Into one great
tread-mill, and whirl the old hall so fast .that Atlas
would tumble from hia equilibrium, olid Ilia hcav-
erif and earth ono more knocked into chaos. The
subject is amusing enough in our lighter momeuta,
and when wo aro well enough pleased to laugh
»* ourselves, nevertheless, it is e very ihelnncho-
ly theme. A mailmen may force from us-a smile
in spite of ourselves, for a moment, but wo aro
ready to weiep the next for tho vety ability to do
ao, at so sad a wrack of frail mortality. So it ia
with our national mania—we laugh in spits of
our gravity at this eternal pbsting, which begins
without an object, end euda without e result.—
True!—happiness ia said to be the object, and ia
it hoi hitherto eluded tho pursuit of our kind, wo
aro determined to run down the old'thing at a (aro
race. The Devil does not take the hindmost, tho
nsual condemnation of tho pnliNo to all loos
en in thosq contents, bnt ho will ho ikr more apt
to take the foremost—winnera, then an none.
Thus we |o, whirling and whining, and ne
glecting many of the graver dntiei.whichbecome
an enlightened and refinod people. In then wo
do riot include high attainments in the arts, or in
literaturo. Wo have not yet constructed those
ruder and bolder laud-marks, which mark a na
tion’s riso. We hive Wilt scarcely any fortifica
tions worthy of the riamo; our whole coast U at
the mercy of our enemies,—and aa for good roads
and bridges, our rivers are so barren of the latter,
that swimming will become a necessary accom
plishment to out children. Monuments—we have
none. The ashes of Washington lie mouldering
in a little ((airy-like looking vault, on the banka of
the Potomac. Jefferson's grave lies on a barren
mountain sido, unmarked by a single atone or in.
acription—Johu Hancock, Patrick Henry, Benja
min Franklin, Charles Carroll, Jamba Madison,
and John Adams, a|l lie in unha.nored graves—to
siy nothing even of field officers Who foil in tho
glorious battles of a nation'* freedom. To them,
fois i> a matter pf very little importance—and so
are* oil the decencies and paraphernalia of tho
grave, but they are of immense consideration to
ns. Wo not only refuse to mirk the spot whero
they lie, but we have despoiled their very grbvaa.
We have seized upon lhe spoils and trophies of
an hundred hard fought kittle* *nd arc now con
tending like madmen—for this very plunder, to
create a great fund of bribery and pollution, to bo
held up ns the reward of the victor in onr party
struggles.
Let another generation thus pass away—let the
public domain be oil plundered—lot tiro revolu
tionary graves remain tomblqaa; and all Europe
, will cry shame, upon tho insann avarice which
prompts such degrading filial ingratitude.
All tills is usually answered by the trite along—
"that Washington and hia compeers an enshrined
in die hearts of their countrymen, and need no
other monument." It would be far nearer the
truth to say, that the money necessary to build
them, is enshrined in the hearts of our country
men.
The Great Ruler ofthe tthiverse has more than
opce commanded particular spots and events to
be commemorated by such atructuroa—and to this
day, the grandest ruins of the oriential world, yet
stands! oneeaa a perpetual meinentoa of his dis
pleasure, and an everlasting wibiesa to the truth
of his messengers. Iduuicu—tiro ancient inherit
ance ofEsau—their dwellings form a great amphi
theatre of melancholy porticoes and coloimdes,
inhabited only by bats .and owls. One of our
owncouutiymeu has been au eye witness to the
fact.
Why then shall we, of all the nations of' tho
earth, cnibrine .the patriarchs of our nation and
the heroes of onr revolution, in our hoarts alone.
The human heart it deccitfiil above all tilings,
and in nothing more than in those miserable tub-
terfngea to eludegreat national dntiea, and withtll
a very unfit shrine for these venerable remains.—
What sort of an answer would it bo, were a man
asked: Why don't yon place a atone over your
father’s grave f to say “because I have enshrined
him iu my heart.” But even was tile assumption
true—hearts are very perishable things—and at
inostlaji, but for three score years' and ten—one
man's heart therefore is a very peer shrine for tho
mcuioryof another.
A singlo architect in England has a greater
monument erected over him, than all our sagos
united. The constructor of St. Paul's had writ-
ten upon hit tomb atone—something like tee fol
lowing, “ If you ask for my monument, behold
it!" In like manner, when wo are asked for our
mementoes of our great dead—let each man clap
his hand to his heart and say—behold them!

Tho overwhelming majority of Van's friends in

, Corn Oi/.—From tlio Cinoirinati Western Far-
nior, we learn that Oil lias’ boon procured IVom
Indian corn in the quantity of half a gallon 'to tiro
bushel, bosidca the usual quantity of whiskey—
which ia three golttona to tho bushel. It has boon
used a»n substitute for tho spermaceti oil, in lamps,
S roved in every rcineor equal,and not accorn-
dwith’and lied oaour. Several barrels nf
afh oil were brought to Cincinnati two or
throeyBara ago, manufactured at a distillery near
Norwark, Ohio.
There are, probably three millions bushels of
corn anonally distilled in the state orOhip, produc
ing nine millions of anils -of whiskey, and would
,'priiduca, in addition thereto, ono million five hun
dred. thousand gallous of oil, worth om million
five hundred thousand dollars. In this case there
would bo oil enough to dupply 'all the latnpa in
tiro western country, and it is quite prohebln that
by a dri/ingproeess, it may. be .used for painting.—

NEW YORK STOCK A MONEY MARKET.
The Courier and Enquirer of the'27th nit, Myi t
The principal feature in tho Stock Market on
Tuesday was, that sellers were apparently far
more nnmerona than buyers. Tiro decline how
ever in rates, though pretty considerable on those
oftlro first board, was bnt little on the second board.
At tiro second.board. United Slates Bank Shares
were done at70J, and Delaware A Hudson Co
ot62.
We are. sorry to shy that two or threo ant.
pensions of payment have token place of houses
m the flour liusiness. We are a good deal ata
loss to account for the pressnro which appears to
fall so heavily on this-particular department nf
trade. It U proliahly-owing to soino peculiar cir
cumstance connected with it, of which, thoso not
immediately concerned in it. are ignorant. An
other suspension lias token pUrnc,- which with tho
public, at least; will cxcito the utmost Barpris'e.
The individual referred to, is advanced in life,
which Iw has to all appearances passed through
with habits of the severest parsimony, in a retail
trade; from which ho, a year or two since retired,
wit|i tho reputation of possessing a large fortune,
yet, ho* he trow fallen a victim, there is too mtieh
reason to believe, to the tpaniaofbhying lottery
tickets.. A great deal of paper with his name on
it, has of late been afloat in tiro market, and the
protest of this by alarming moneyed men, has
tended to keep up the price paid for the nae of
monoy. The rate of discount now prevailing is
from 14 to 2 per cent a month for good business
paper. Though tho banka of this city are at pre
sent in a position of undouted security, and largo
mercantile firms havo shown thoy poiscsscd re
sources adoniiute to the late emergency, it is im-
possihlo to deny tlint tiro retail trade is still great
ly embarrased; in fact, that oil people in business,
depending upon the collections they moke in the
city, ore, by continued disappointments thoy ex
perience, in a position of great difficulty.
In Foreign Exchange lliore is nothing doing at
present, nor will there be probably, until the ovo
of tlio departure of the British Queen. For Do-
mestio, there is a brisk doiiiand, and tiro following
