These stories are designed to interest tho yoang, and exercise a good moral influence in til* formation of their characters. Fm T rade.amf”blrect Taxation. The Mooon Messenger (American) is out in fhvorof Free Trade and direct taxation, to support tho general government. Says its edi tor : "Wo heard Gen. Bethuue’s great speech, in lb* late Convention, with interest. Some of his views were, to our mind, both sound and weighty. That his recommendations aro im practicable, ia^ the principal objection urged against them. We believe that the more the question of direct taxation is studied and can* , the more popular will it become with the Wall Street Gambling. The Albany Journal in its comments upon the failure of Jacob Littlo takes occasion to draw for Its readers tho following frightful though it la to bo feared faithful pioturo of Wall street gambling and its influence upon the country: • ' No timo can be better than the present to call tho public attention to tho great evil, whoso seat and ccntro is Wall stroot. Tho whole Stato of Now York is interested in tho gambling in luture values, which is so mightily carried on In that locality. Tho worth of a large portion of thb acquired earnings of our oitirms is con stantly disturbed there. Hundreds of millions of dollars of property weekly experience do- rcclutlonby the arts of men whoso vocation . i to play with it, as gamesters play with cards. By a force which is at present Irresistible, the Block Exchange compels to its own daily mea sures or value, the worth of all the shares in tiio State which are quoted at its board. 'Thirty million dollars of tho stocks and so- enritiea of tho greatest of the American ml roads may bo owned by thirty thousand differ eht women, retired merchants, orphan chil dren, and public charities. Not oue dollar of either may * - — street. at will the subject of sales wholly imaginery. and in ^hich no property passes, but those pricos rule tyrannically throughout this State and tho re public. A stock which pays eight per cunt, and is fully oonflded in by all who own it, and should command quickly at least one hundred cents on the dollar, is firmly held down to eighty three cents by one bold man’s steady ofl’eriugsjo deliver it at a future day at those figures. For al 1 ihe purpose of exchange or of Security, a depreciation may be sustained by the bona tide owners of the corporate property we have named within a few days’ time, of 6ver fl vo millions of dollars. I No stock largo enough to offer a basis of ppemtions can be. saved from this devourlnf gambling hell. As the Bcrip is never used and ucver needed—as ouly tho differences be tween tho betted present aud future values are paid—stock which is under lock and key in New England may have-to relcuso its worth, and allow it to bo fiugercti and passed from baud to band in Wall street—like the ivory "chips” at tbo rouge et noir tables of Baden.— 'Aud tho bulk of tho transactions on the share exchanges are us purely gambling as is the betting on faro, on roulette, or on the timo of u race horse. Tho tricks and knaveries known to the course, and to the vile vocations of throwing dice aud dealing curds, have their : full counterparts in stock gumbling. The souls of meu uro lost in it full us oasily as their for tunes. ' To tho inquiry, "What is the effect upon a great mercantile commucityof a system such as we have briefly sketched?” the rule of Schuyler and the crimes of Huntington, and the feverishness and social competition aud voluptuousness of much of New York life, make partial reply. Tho gambling of Wall street is contagious. Time sales have now transcended the shore market, and bave£une where games ters never till recently dared intrude. PTg iron U sold on time, the difference in valuo ouly to be delivered—the metal ucver. Flour is so sold, not a barrel being in hand. So with beef, and pork, and corn, aud wheat, aud cottou, and sugar. Their future vulues are betted on, and men engogo to deliver them in quantities which are neverlooked for, and indeed do not exist. This substitution of chance for mercantile fore thought has its natural uud vicious harvest. Losses, embarrassment, aud bankruptcy of for tune and of character go in its wuke, as inevi tably os poverty and rags follow dicing. From this broker’s Board lias breathed upon the city and State of New York u spirit of speculation and gambling which is frightfully contagious and frightfully corruptive. Industry andecoumyand integrity are no longer our Bole basis of commercial prosperity. Men are in hot haste to get rich. Tho gambler’s vices of prodigality anddispluy are last becoming the characteristics of sociul life in the great city of America. Honor and honesty are re laxing their holds on tho minds of men. Crimes of acquisitiveness and breaches of commercial trust grow frequent with us, and tho social judgoment and social punishment of them grow lenient. Success more and more becomes tho measure of right and wrong. American life and habits.— Lord Bacon says children sweeten labor; but little use, however plentiful the supply, do the Ameri cans make of these sugar-plums of existence. It is told of a Wall-street paterfamilias, that having come, iu tho course of his rapid move ments, accidentally upon his own child in the arms of a uurse, he stopped, uud iu a sudden paroxysm of tenderness, kissed the babe, and uquired very considerately about its paternity being totally unconscious of his own flesh ana blood. Children, with us, are treated, so soon as they are born, os posterity; just as if they wero devoid of all contemporary interest. A man’s friends, too in this country, are merely counting hou3o acquaintances, aud hospitality hardly expauds beyond an invitation to "Brisk and Smart, No.—Pearl-street, bo glad to sec you—always at home.” Brist aud Smart are, indeed, always "at borne” in their stores, but never in their houses. It is not our purposo to inquire, just now, iiow far the Mrs. Smarts and the Mrs. Brisks may be responsible tor shutting the doors of hospitality in the faces of their husbands’ friends. We have an opin ion of our own, however, in regard to the ef fect of the.fashionable pretensions of our dumes We do not believe that the love of personal display, which robs the larder to enrich the parlor, aud shrinks the stomach to expend the ekivt, is favorable to hospitality. We, moreo ver, us wo never go to parties, but aro nlways open to an invitation to u good dinner, pro test against the practice of concentrating all the surplus means of a household in the onu great annual display of expense, in which— that is, the expense, and not the dubious de lights of the party—tbo husband, and perhaps his friends, alone participate. The ball of the season however, is tho town-talk, which, al though it is at the cost of a whole year’s household comfort and tho ruin of all geuial hospitality, is worth the sacrillce, in tho opto ion of the fashionablo wile. Cotton Kstimatbs and Prices.—T.J.Stew' dlbUi’s riot from plantation, wi|h'W'«iink* rice, urt & Co. of Now York in the oottoa circular *f ^ ^ u V. hl " u / . last Saturday remark as follows upon the pro babilities of. tho cotton crop and prices. For the past fortnight the tendency of public opinion has favored orop estimates of about 3,000,000 bales. Thera are uow few parties disposed to wait on their purchases until tbo receipts full off decidedly, and although there s uo indication by the deliveries and - tho con* tinued anxiety of planters to murkot their cropH that tho seusou will terminate uudor that figure, thorc is nevertheless a fixed idea now prevailing with buyers, that it cannot vary much from that quantity, and that speculation ones sturtud will uutvy it to 8d, at Liverpool for Middling grades: as tbo theory tbut the consumption re quires that full umouut is a favorite oue, uud rough ric-. i» * tVgiHlbr winKlcrs Hut, notn p rough rifle, to'/N Wink 1000 bus HuruvoitM tUt, tram plantation, with i ' WoiMlbrltigo. k . , ’ nnt nisntiUloii, with 'low bush ikmr. ' ' tiro favorite “speculation there. "Whether"the cron passes that figure, or lolls eventually a little short of it, it is near enough for un ad- , ustment of prices there, uud Ttere it is not ikeiy to recede from about the present range at the Southern ports, until the pressure of Stocks so far beyond the party ot European nricoa, sompols speculators to realize. Thoro iavo been >ow executable orders here this sea • son, uud the supplies uow going forward aro tor American account. A Good Hit.—A llotliodist divine of this city, on Sunday, administered a most severe rebuko to a common custom in these days, of reading advertisements from the pulpit. A pa per was handed to him, giving notice that tho introductory lecture of the annual course would lie delivered on Monday night Ac., uta certain medical institution iu this city. The preacher said he had conscientious scruples against cheating the printer, by makiugsuoh announce ments from the pulpit; that he never heard such advertisements read iu church, without remitting him of the old deacon in Alexandria, who, on a certain occasion, exhorted in most earnest and vehement language the sinners iu his congregation to ropeut, or they would all go to hell os sure as there was flour for sale at Alexandria, and he was sure there wob flour there, for he bad received just the day before a flue assortment, which bo would sell as cheap as any man in the city.—Ohio Slateemun. Death of Mrs. Commodore Conner.—We learn with deep regret, that Mrs. Susau D. Con. uer, the relict of the late Commodore Daivid Conner,departed this life on the 3d of Novem ber last, ut Torquay, Devonshire, England. She lelt this.city in September iu feeble health and after suffering with great severity she re signed herself to her fate, aud breathed her last away from her native Uud. Her two sens were with her at the time. She was perfectly calm and tranquill, and sank into the arms of death with a full faith iu the realization of a tlissful hereafter. Her body will be brought to this city for interment.— Philadelphia In quirer. OrnsAT Snow Storm at the West.—A late letter from tiriunell, Iowa, States that u brow storm commenced at 3 'o’clock, P. Al., the 1st inst., and lasted till noon on the 3d, and was very severe. The snow was blown into the buildings—hogs mere buried out of sight in their pens—traveling was almost impossible Many cattle were fairly driven by the severity of the storm to a long distance from the set- lenient, going helplessly before the wind. The forms in the prane county are like storms ut sea, the wiud blowing with uabrokeu vio lence. Oiitai'dil. Shin Boa Bolt, During'Liverpool—U A LUfowy . shin Mont Biauo.

The Great Brume.—The construction of the towers for the suspension bridge over the Ohio at Cinoinnati is progressing. The tow era are eighty-six bv thirty two feet at the base, will be two hundred and thirty feet high, and one thousand and six feet apart.— The cables will be anchored three hundred feet back on each side of the river, pass over the tops of the towers, and thus be made to sustain the weight of the bridge. Tho entire span, therefore, will be sixteen hundred and six feet—a little short of one-third of a mile. Tho elevation of the floor at the middle, above low water mark, will be one hundred and twenty-two feet. The greut flood of 1832— the highest on record—rose sixty-two feet above low water; and making allowance even for this, there will remain sixty feet. Great Surgical Operation.—Dr. (/’amo eban, of New York. has within a short time, performed again his great operation for the cure of neuralgia of the face, by exsccting the entire trunk of tbe second branch of the fifth pair of nerves, as far as the base of the skull. The patient, a medical gentleman from one of the southern States, had been a martyr to the disease for a number of years. He is now do- iug well. A slave in Main.—Tho Bangor Journal ays: “Sorao time since, wennderstand, a sea cap tain of Frankfort hired a slave in a southern port to go to Bea with him in the capacity of servant to himself and wife. The slave becom ing strougly attached to them, he prevailed upon them to purchase lfim, and he remains with the lady at Frankfort, voluntarily os a servant, taking care of the children, and making himself us useful as lie has capacity A novel team.—A New York paper says: "The most decided novelty seen for a long time was yesterday to be seen in tbe streets of Brooklyn. It was a splendid team of moose dear harnessed to a light wagon and travelling at u very fair pace. The eccentric driver had to ply the whip frequently to overcomo the timidity of tbe animals, which otborwUe per formed ull the functions of horses to a marvel. Byron’s widow.—Lady Byron, widow of the E oet, has, by tbe death of the incumbent, in- erlted the title ot Baroness Wentworth. WUl oar Republican neighbor make a note of this? The chief trouble in Gen. Iiethune’s way, ia that Congress, controled by a Northern nume rical majority, is not yet prepared, nor likely to be at any early day, to adopt hla scheme. The North Is opposed to it, and truly, accord log to the General’s own showing, because she tads her advantage in tbe present order of thing*. How shall we convert her ? By taking away that advantage. And this can be done by in augurating, through legal enactment as pro- posed by Mr. Toombs, a new era of direct Southern trade with Europe. When the re turn cargoes for cotton, rite and tobacco, sent abroad, shall be made to come directly to the ports of tbs South, tbo North, losing tho com mercial advantages of the tariff, wlU.loae much of her interest in its maintenance. Mr. Toombs plan then is we believe, the nearest roata to direct taxation—though when otrried ont with its magnificent results, it may bsdonbted whether the South will feel the same interest which she now feels in the aboli tion of th* system of Custom House duties. "Hor bugftar prido defrauds tier dally cheer. To boadt one splendid banquet onco a year ” Life is thus—whoever may bo to blame—de prived of its natural enjoyments, aud the American becomes nothing but a machine for work. He, moreover, treats the mechauiim of his own body with iullultely less consideration than that of his stoam-ougino aud spinning jenny. These are never strained beyond their powers, aud ore carefully oiled, and occasion ally stopped for repair. Brain and nerves’ are, however, nlways ou tho stretch,and without a single drop of the oil of gladness to softeula- bor, ore kept to their work until they stop in disease or death. This exclusive devotion to a single object in life—and that object, which is getting rich, of course, accompanied by those fluctuations of profit aud loss which keep the man of business in a continued ugony between tear and hope—is expressly opposed to an abso lute law of uuture, which requires for health that tho occupations of the mind should be us varied us its faculties. Tho result is shown in the excitability which is tbe characteristic of tbe fust-moving Ameri can. Tiie bruin and nerves are stimulated to a degree which soon wears them out, aud diverts from the other paitsol the body that supply of nervous energy which is essential to the healthy performance of their functions. It is to this exhaustion of nervous power that the universal irritability and restlessness of our people, which arc sure symptoms of weakness, are to bo attributed. A forcigu medical ob server, while travelling in tins country, re*, marked that the ivholo uutUm seemed to bo suffering from a paroxysm of St. Vitus’dunce. The peculiarity of this disease is the ceaseless and uncontrollable motion of tho limbs of the who appears to be possessed of a de sire of being in naif a dozen places at one and the same moment of time. The Necessity of Recreation—Gomes, juyeties, sports, spectacles, there will be, a« long us meu have limbs, or eyes, or ears. Tbe 'development here is as nuturul as it is iu the arts. You might as well talk ol extirpating music and painting, as of driving the common amusements out of tbe world. Now, there arc abuses of these things. Wlmt arc we to say of tho abuses? "Let them crush down and destroy the things themselves,” do we Bay ?— But they cannot. Then let them be cut off.- There is really nothing else to bo doue. Eli vato, retlnc, purify tbe public amusements.— Let religion reeoguize aud restraiu them. Let it not, os is too common, drive them to license and extravagance; but lot it throw around them its gentle and.holy bonds, to make them pure, cheerful, healthful—helpful to tbe great onds of life. What a blessed thing for the world were it, iI its amusements could thus be rescued, redeemed, aud brought into the ser vice of its virtue and piety I Ntn> SUmtrtutmntts.

Dear tilrIt affords me great pleasure to state that besides tho excellent quality of your glasses, the mlulscuK, or concavo-convex leu, allow greater latitude in tho field or vision, and moro ouse und comfort to the eye. Besidos these advantages, 1 would also monlion your Improve ment in the arrangement of the rrame, whioh I think is well calculated to shut off those’rays of light which canuol be brought within the axis Of vision. Be this as it may, X nave no hesitation in atUrmiug that your glasses afford me more comfort thau any 1 have hitherto tried, and consequently I cau recommend them with confidence to all wno stand in need of such aid.

I bavo examiued and am now Ublng a pair of Ihe boautful crystallne, miniscu glasses, purchased by Professor Gedeon. They are coutructed upon strict y philosophical principles, and from several couhiueiatlous.ureuot surpassed, if equalled, by any I have ever seen. The concave convex form or the lenses bling tho exter or arrangement of the human eye, collect? a 1*> gov number of rays than could be oon- veyuu upon tbe retina from ot dinary glasses of tbe same Uscal power, and thus increase the distinct- iveneay of vision. The slxe of the glasses, also, give a greater field of vision with less muscular action. Iu short, the whole arrangement stems admirably calculated to promote case and distinot- ivuness of vision, and to preserve tbe healthy function of that invaluable organ, the human eye A.
