Telegraph. The’Difference. —Let a man of standing and influence commit a fault, and how soon it is overlooked. It he is wealthy, the im proprieties of bis conduct are considered no reproach, and he is as much honored and caressed as ever. Let a poor man be halt as guilty, and he is condemned and despised, and it is next to an impossibility to retrieve his character. Such is the course of the world. Honors, property, and high stand ing, make all the difference. We are for calling villany by its right name, wherever discovered, whether beneath a costly ex terior, ir. the halls of Congress, or ii-a shan- i ty,. The pretended righteous judgement of the world is wrong. Worth, and worth alone, should ho caressed and honored ) respected and imitated,while vice should be detested and abhorred, in whomsoever dss- j covered. If this shouldbe ourcrituiion of judgment, in selecting men for our various officers, thousands of the humble and the ; unobtrusive would be elevated to posts j where their virtues would shine and their examples be salutary upon the whole nation, while those who now disgrace their stations would sink in the mire where they have de- j lighted to wallow, and cease to exert their j pernicious and Masting influence. In our choice of men to fill our seats of honor and trust, let us have an eye to the virtue of tlie heart, and if strict integrity he lacking, vve should nevei lift a finger to put such men into office. — Exchaege. Novel Circumstance — Resuscitation. —The j St. Louis Republican of the 7th instant re- j lotos the following singular occurrence : “ A young lady belonging to a Jewish family in this city died on Tuesday of a nerv ous disease, and yesterday her friends start ed with her remains for interment. Ac cording to a Jewish custom, the body is ta keu to the graveyard in a square box in the same covering in which the person lias ex pired, and there in a house appropriated fir that purpose, the female friends of the fami ly unrobe the body, wash it in cold water, and anoint it for its last resting place. While performing this ancient custom upon the body of this supposed inanimate corpse, a healthful warmth evaporated from it. and evident signs of life became manifest; the fact was announced by the ladies, physicians were sent for, and the sorr.-vvful certainty of death which nveishadowed the counte nances of friends gave place to a gleam of hope. On the arrival of the physicians the certainty of her being alive was established, and means taken to fan the spark into health, in which we earnestly hope they may succeed.” A Midnight Appeal. —We were waken ed from our sleep on Sunday night about 11 o'clock, by the rapping of a little boy of about ten years ; we arose and went to the window and asked him what he want ed. Can you tell me where l can find a watchman, sir ? What do you want of a watchman 1 asked vve. There is a man at our house, he leplied, who is drunk, and mother is afraid of him. Who is the man, and what is lie doing to your mother? vve asked. After a good deal of hesitation, mingled with half-suppressed sobs, the little fellow finally burst into tears when he re luctantly felt himself forced to tell the sor rowful truth. “ Father is drunk, ami is heating mother,and has driven us out of doors; and mother is shivering out on the porch, awl he leant let her in, and she is afraid of him.” We gave the little follow directions where he could procure prompt aid, and on our sleepless pillow deeply pitied that wife and mother and son forced by a father’s bru tality—by the curse of drunkenness; to seek to have him, their husband and father, dragged Jfrom them to a felon’s cell ? Bitter were those reflections, and a sad and sleepless pillow during that hour, was ours. Poor mother ! we thought of the bridal hour when she gave heisclf and her happi ness into the keeping of that husband, who in the presence of* his God, vowed eternal love and affection unto her!— Memphis Eagle. Mississippi Ladies and Repudiation. — Not long since a proposition was made by some ladies in Pennsylvania to pay the debt of the Stale by throwing their plate and jewelry into a common stock for this pui pose. It will be seen, by the following por tion of an address published by some ladies in Mississippi, that they too emulate this noble example: “ But if the men will not do this duty, the women will. Yes—regard it not as an idle vision for it will he done. As sure us in the coming election repudiation triumphs, the women of Mississippi are prepared to form societies, to work to contribute, till enough shall be raised, with the help which every God-serving man would give them, to pay the bonds, which else would rest like a burthen upon the fame and prosperity of the country. They are sincere ; and let no one jest at this, for it can and will be done, eveu if they have to sacrifice their wedding rings, as did the woman of Poland, for the < benefit of their country. The first eight verses of chapter twenty-nine of Eclesiastes 1 are apposite to this subject.” Sun Rise “ Come Simon, get up my good boy; it’s after sunrise.” ** What ob dat massa 1 what if it he after •un yise? ’Spose if sun )ise two hours tore day, poor Simon must git up cause sun yise, eh; don’t come dat game ober dis nigger, no how!” * ——^ Man often acquires just so much knowl edge as to discover his ignorance ; attains so much experience as to regret his follies and then dies. As no man can tell where a shoe pinches better than he that wears it—so no man can tell a woman’s disposition, belter than he that weddeth her. Marriage. —l never knew n marriage ex- “ pressly for money, that did not end unhap pily. Yet managing motheis and heartless daughters are continually playing the same 1 unlucky game. I believe that men more frequently marry for love than women, be cause they have a free choice. lam afraid to conjecture how large a portion of women j marry, because they think they will riot ; have a better chance, and dicud being de- j pendent. Such marriages, no doubt, some times prove tolerably comfortable, but a i greater number would have been far happi er single. If 1 may judge by my obseiva- j lion of such matters, marrying fora home is j a most tiresome way of getting a living. A Good Toast. —At a Tea Party given hythe young Men’s Temperance Associa tion, of the city of Philadelphia, on the eve ning of the Cth instant, in honor of the Tri umphs ot Temperance, the following Toast, by Mr. William A Duff, was handed in j among others: A Dish of T. — Our Fatheis with une- 1 quailed mugnanimiT and liberaliT, pledged | their propetT for the perpetuiT of our lib- j eiT, and refused with diguiT to drink our enemy’s hyson T.

Yankee Courtship. —Jonathan Bumbetter saw Prudence Feastall at meeting. Jona- j than sidled up to Prudence alter meeting, and she kind a sidled off. He went closer, and axed her if she would accept the crook of his elbow. She resolved she would, and plumped her arm round liis’n. Jonathan felt all over-ish, and said he liked the text: “ seek and ye shall find,” was purty good readin. Prudence hinted that “ ask and ye shall receive,” wasbetter. Jonathan thought so to, but this axin was a puzzler. A fel -1 ler was apt too get into a snarl, which vvaru’t ;no fun. Prudence guessed strawberries j and cream were slick. Jonathan thought j they vvatn’t so slick as Pru’s lips. Now don’t said Pru, and she guv Jonathan’s arm an involuntary hug. He was a Icctle star tled, but tho’t his farm wanted some female help to look arter the house. l’ru knew howto make real good bread. “ Now don’t,” s id Pru. “If 1 should,” said Jonathan.— |** Now don’t,” said Pru. “ May he you J wouldn’t,” and Jonathan shook all o', er, and Prudence replied, “ if you he coming that ; game, you’d better tell feyther.” “ That’s j jist what I want,” said Jonathan ; and in ! tinee weeks Jonathan and Prudence were I “ my old man” and “ my old woman.” The United States iton steam Frigate which was lately constructed at Pittsburg, and transported from thence to the pint of Erie, (on Lake Erie,) was launched on the •sth inst.- She is the first iron vessel launch ; ed upon the Lake, and is represented as a | handsome affair, of perfect symmetry, and j promising to be a fast sailer.

A wise government will not he slow in fostering the agricultural interests. Let every farmer who has a son to edu cate, believe and remember, that science lays the foundation of every thing valuable in agriculture. Science must combine with practice to make a good farmer. The opposition against book farming rests on the shoulders of two monsters, ig norance and prejudice. If you separate science from agriculture, you rob a nation of its principal jewel. Agriculture, aided by science, will make a little nation a great one. All the energy of the hero, and all the science of the philosopher, may find scope in the cultivation of one farm. A skilful agriculturalist will constitute one of the mightiest bulwarks of which civ il liberty can boast.— Maine Farmer. Not Slow. —A fellow in New Hampshire, after having been drawn into the meshes of love with one fair Nabby, afterwards “ took a shine” to another.

Advocate I brings fotwaid the followirg historical sketch of the list fan's < f the United States - and its happy etfl ct- u, on the untrv, from the pen of David Ramsey, the contempo rary historian, whose .mpurtiality and can- ‘ dor have never been questioned. ‘j he | whig party seeks to affect a like wonderful and immediate change in the hap{ iness and prosperity c.f the country and by a similar agency, as that which followed the creating of the first National Bank. As long as tried (10 years) the Bank worked admira ble—when vve resulted to theii agencies, trouble came upon us. We seek now to j return to the path Washington so success fully trod and pointed out to us. Our op ponents desire to experiment yet a little further—to try a hard money panacea for our woes, derived from the despot-rid den communiliesof Europe and Asia, where the currency is not only hard hut the con dition of the people larder, ‘1 he people are to choose between the two systems. — Here is the Washington system arid its re sults ; — Southern Advocate. “Asa mean, conducive to the easy and prosperous administration of the financial system, the Secretary of the Treasury strongly recommended the establishment of a national bank. This was strobuously op posed. Some objected to the Utility of all banking establishments : others to the plan proposed ; 1 u - mostly to the right of Con gress to pass an act lor incorporating a nation al bank. It was conceded on all sidti, that a power for this purpose was not expressly given l>y the Constitution. The argument turned on its being implied, by a fair con struction of the general clause, subjoined to the enumerated powers of Congress in these words : “To make all laws necessary and proper, for catrying into execution, the foregoing powers.” One party contended, that a national hank is necessary and proper, to the acknowledged power of Congress, “to ‘uy and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises.” The other acknowledged its convenience, hut dented its necessity. A profusion of verbal and metaphysical criti j eism was displayed, in distinguishing be tween the highest grade of convenience, and the lowest grade of necessity ; and between what was necessary, in the populursense of that word, and what, in strictness of speech, was indispensably so. On this subject, Congress and the cabinet were divided.— After the law had passed both branches of the. Legislature, W ashington, who was ex tremely cautious of infringing the constitu tion requited, from the heads of departments, their opinions on the subject ; with their reasons for the same. After receiving their opinions, weighing their reasons, and examining the subject in all its relations, lie deliberate!y made up his mind, under the ) guidance of that common sense, for w hich he was remarkable, in favor of the constitution ality of the law ; and accordingly, gave it the sanction of his name. i The oapiial of the bank, thus established, was ten millions of dollars, in shares of S4OO each, to he paid by successive instalments. In two hours after the of subscription were opened, hythe commissioners appoint ed to teceive them, the whole number of shares were t*ken up; and.* 4,000 more | were offered, than could he received, by : the terms of the charter. The lights ac- I quired by the subscribers to the national bank, were in such demand, that they arose, in a short time, to S2OO advance on the trifling sum of $26 ; w hich was the whole of the first payment. Branches of this in stitution were established in most of tho principal sea ports of the boiled Stales, un der the namo of Offices of Discount and Do posite ; in which all the revenues of the United States, were deposited. These ffP cilitated the payments of duties; and as they all communicated with the parent bank, in Philadelphia, then the seat of Gov ernment, very much expedited the finan cial operations of the treasury department Such were tho effects of the new order of things, that the measures recommended by Hamilton, and adopted by Congress ; par ticularly the funding system, had a decided influence, in favor of the U idled States. By it, the debtsof the Revolutionary war, were converted into a species of wealth. Public pa pet*, which had previously sunk to eight for one, rapidly rose to par. The funded stock answered the purposes of money, so that agriculture and commerce were invigorated liy it, to u degree equal to what would have resulted from the intro duction, and free circulation, of an equiva lent sum of Mexican Dollars. A great j amelioration in the circumstances of the citizens, became immediately visible. The ( money in c rculation antecedently, was so far short of sufficiency to represent the val ue of commodities, daily bought and sold, j that a ruinous depreciation of property had j taken place, This was increased by the | want of confidence, which generally pre- ! vailed. Both evils were remedied by the j funding system. Mortfey,’ credit, confidence j and an increased value ofpropeity were its ! immediate consequences. From the ter- j initiation of the revolutionary war to this ] period, the U. S. had gone backward, in national character. The high reputation which the citizens had acquired fiotn their successful stiuggles in their country’s cause, was tarnished. So rapid a transition from a state of depression to that of exaltation, hud seldom before taken place. The dif ference between an efficient and inefficient government, was never more apparent.” I Hon. J. M. Berrien.— The following res- i ohitious liave been laid on the table in Sen- j ate bv Mr. Bartow of Chatham. 1 hey no doubt s|teak the sentiments of tho Whigs in relation to our aide Senator, not only in this State, but throughout tho country generally. —Southern Recorder. The last General Assembly of the State of Georgia having adopted a series of Res- j olutions,appioved the 28th December, 1842, | censuring in terms of great asperity the > course ot the Hon. John M. Berrien, one of j our Senators in Congress, declaring him “ unfit to represent the Slate in the Senate j of the United States,” withdrawing their , confidence fiom him, and declaring that ! they would neither receive from him, nor ] address to him, any communication to fur ther the interests or defend the rights of ihe people of Georgia —we, the latest, expo nents of their sovereign will, not designing to draw within the purview of nnr action the appropriate and peculiar subjects of Fcdcial legislation, feel nevertheless con stiained to pluce our constituents again in commtmiculiun will) their faithful and fa vorite Senator, and in their name to redress, as far as may he, the multiplied and wan ton injuries sought to be done him by party malevolence. Therefore, Resolved by the Senate and House if Representatives of the St.de of Georgia in Gene red Assembly met, That vve and our constituents apptove the course of the Hon. John Macpherson Berrien in the Senate of the United States, and cherish an honest pride in his enlightened patriotism and distinguished ability. Resolved further.

Resolved, That the Governor be request ed to send a copy or these resolutions to our Senators in Congress, with the request that they Ire laid before the Senate of the Utti’.cd States, i m Mr. Clay at Home. —A distinguished I Whig, writing from Lexington to the Edi | tor of the Philadelphia Inquirer says: j “I am happy to inform you that Mr. Clay i is in excellent health, and is looking re j markably well. Time has dealt most ger.t ----j ly with him; it may have deprived him of ! some of the fire and vigor of youth, hut it j has conferred upon him in return the ma tured dignity of age. His eye is blight— ! his form erect and unbowed—fits step buoy -1 ant and elastic, and his constitution appa | rently unimpaired by the laborious eflints ! of an arduous public life. Indeed, since | his retirement from the Senatejie seems to i have recuperated, and he now has the ap pearance of one over w hose head scarce fifty winters had sprinkled their snows. ** I rejoiced to see him in the enjoyment j of such excellent health.

Correspondence of the “Southern Miscellany.” Mim.edgevili.e, Dec. 20tlr, 1843. On Monday “the Senate were engaged most of the day upon the bill of the Com mittee on Internal Improvements, in rela tion to the Western and Atlantic Kail Road. Mr. Iverson offered a substitute to the oii ginal bill, which, however, was not acted upon till the friends of the measure had made it as perfect as they could by amend ments. The vote was then taken upon re ceiving the substitute, and lost, and the ori ginal bill passed. It provides for the grad ual finishing of the Road to Borough’s in Cass county, where the Home Branch will intersect ; and in the mean time, the Gov ernor is to sell the Road if one million of dollars can be gotten for it, upon such con ditions as the Governor may think most to ! the interest of the Strte. It also gives the Governor leave to work such of the con- : victs, as he* legally may, upon the Road, till such sale can be effected. I think it very \ important, whether we wish to sell or not, to progress to the point where the Rome Branch will inlet sect—upon which l utr- ! derstand theie is now a company at work. : By this connexion, we get to tile Coosa Riv er, w hich is navigable for some 100 miles below Rome, und I discover from an article in a paper from Tennessee, that theteis like- i ly to boa short Road constiucted, so as to ! connect .the Tennessee and Coosa livers be- i low the impediments in the former. Ifthcse J Roads should be built, (arid there is every | prospect that they will—one beir.g thirty ! and theothermnyseventeen miles in length,) j we have a connected route from the Eas- \ tern terminus of the State Road, to the navigable waters of the Tennessee river— giving us command of a vast fertile conn- I try. I begin to think that the State will find a purchaser at the price affixed. On Tuesday, the Senate took up the Re volt ou the Penitentiary from the Joint I Committee. Mr. Staly, from the minority, i offered the Report of the minority as a sub stitute for that of the majority, which was lost. Mr. Cone offered the hill of the Sen ate, abolishing Penitentiary imprisonment, as a substitute fin the Report, which was also lost, and the Report adopted. ’1 he Senate then took up and passed its hills, mostly of local character. They also took up the messages from the House, agreed to some of the amendments of that body, re ceded Irom some of their own amendments to House hills, and refused to recede from others. Amongst the amendments from which they refused ,o recedewas one to grant arms to your Volunteer Company. — To-day has been spent, partly with the Ap propriation Bill, and a hill to authorize the Governor to make arrangements to pay Reed, Irwin & Cos. fifty thousand dollars annually of the principal of the debt. This evening a spirited debate sprang up between Mr. Powers of Bibb, and Mr. Iver son of Muscogee upon a bill making pro vision for suits to be entered in the name of the assignee of the broken Hanks in Colum bus, to collect debts due those Banks. Mi. Powers opposed the hill, and said it was intended to defraud the honest creditors of those banks. He was glad he had it in his power to retort upon the Senator from Mus cogee, who had taken occasion throughout the whole session, to speak of the Monroe Rail Road as that rotten concern. Mr. Iverson replied with much warmth, and gave Macon a thorough tubbing down.— Mr. Powers came again, and Columbus suf fered in the flesh. From that, the fight grew hot, and the galleries were amused for some hour and a Half with the brilliant account of the rascalities and rogueries of those rival ci ties. I thought of a story I once heard, hut I can’t tell it, and “that’s sufficient.” The Whigs cried “ bear fight,” and were “hands ’ off.” There has been nothing of much conse quence transacted in the House since my last. I have lost my memorandum of the proceedings of that branch, and have no time to redeem the blunder. We have most inclement weather here just now. Night sessions, with gaiter pants that don’t button,jliuve caused many a male diction upon the poor tailor, who, no doubt, thought he was doing for the best. The whFs of both houses are wo;!,;;,- c:;d j main to get off by Saturday night next, the I accomplishment of which I can see nothing j now to prevent. Both Houses sit till oor j 10 o’clock at night. j We had a rich treat from Mr. Russel, the vocalist, on Saturday night last. The Ethe i opians are here at present, but they are per fect humbugs. I wish 1 had time and room to say a few things upon thissuhject. 1 can demonstrate that, upon the subject of music, j four-fifths of our people ar e yet uncivilized.

Fortlie “Southern Miscellany.” LETTER FROM MAJOR JONES. NO. xxvn. Pineville, Dec. 19, 1543. To Mr. T hompson : Dear Sir —We're all bisv as the mischief down here killin hogs, and is in the greas clear up to our eyes—hut when 1 got your j last paper with the Captain’s message in it J 1 thought it must be something important, ! or else you wouldn’t put it in the Miscella ny, so I red it over two or three times jest I to find out what the old filler was driven at; i hut after all I’ve come to the conclusion j that it aint no gtate scratches. As soon as | supper was over we had one of tlie biggest sort o’ lighlwood chunks put on the fire to make a blaze, and after old Miss Stallions and the galls all got settled down to ther work, I took out the Miscellany to read the message to ’em. Well, I begun : “ If any people ever had cause to render up thanks for parental cate and protection extended to ’em in all ther trials and diffikil tys, we certainly is that people.” Whew ! ses 1, rite out. “ Why, what’s the matter V’ ses Miss Culline. “ What’s tuck your ewe so now ?” ses she. “ Did you ever hearsich insurance,” ses I, “ for old Tyler ? the worst cub that ever was put on the country, to say the like o’ j that. Drat his ugly pieter,” ses 1, “I should think he’d have more decency about him than that!” and I was gwine on to ex ] plain, hut they all sed, “ go on and read it.” 1 “ Yes” ses old Miss Stallions, “go on, j Joseph, and see what he says about that ! bominable grip he’s been flictin every body with.” Well, I went on readrn ’thout payin much attention, til I come upon whar he talks about Mexico and Texas, and the galls all went on with their nittin. When I come to whar he ses the Mexicans is betr talkin about lickin Congress if it tuck up with Texas, my blood begun to whiz like biiin water, and my hair stood rite upon eend. “Do you hear that V’ ses I, and 1 brung my fist down on tire table so hard the galls all liked to jump off ther seats, anil old Miss Stallions, who was sound a sleep, fetched a sort of a half snore, and ses she, “ I know’ll it! I know’d it! them sticks aim strong enough to hang no hog in the world.” ** Tiler’s gwine to Ire war !” ses I. “Oh lordy !” ses all the galls—“ who’s gwine to fight, Joseph V ses they. “ We,” ses I—“ Cato, go into tother room anil bring me my uniformity.” Cato ris up off the heath, with his eyes as big as sassers. “ Oh, my lord,” ses Mary—“oh dear, oh I shall oh ” and away she went into a swoun rite in her sister Callino’s arms. ” Oh my darter !” ses old Miss Stallions, jest beginnin to git awake—“ oh, lairs ‘a massy,” ses she—“ Cato run for the doc tor!” Cato turned round three or four times, like he didn't know which eend he stood on —Sister Kesialr brung tire Colone water, atid I got the watergourd and guv her a few sprinklins, afore Bhe guv any signs of comill too. But that fetch'd her to—and in a few minus 1 had her silt in up in tny arms crytn for life, and her pore little hart bealin like a scared patridge. “ Why, what ails you, Mary 1” ses I “ what upon yeatlr scared you so,” “ I thought you was gwine to leave me and nn to fight in the war,” ses she. “ Why lord love you, dear,” ses I, “ you didn’t think I was gwine rite off did you !” “ Oh, no child,” ses old Miss Stallions, “ Joseph aint gwine t> !e i\e you now.” ’ “ 1 didn’nt know when he was gwine ” ses Mary, “but I know I would dy if l’, e was to goto fight”—and she hid her face in my busum and ciied worse and worse. I didn’t know hardly what to say ; I nev er felt so chicken-hearted in my life, and I thought Id turn it off the best way I could. So, ses 1, “ ther ain’t no war, no how, am) if ther was. I wouldn’t desert you, not to be Br igadier General.” That kind of consoled her and the galls tuck her tnour room, and old Miss Stallions went to lied and left me to read the mes sage by myself. Well, 1 went on, and after all it was a real flash in the pan. When the Captain come to the annexation part, lie never savs turkey on tire subject, arm after all, 1 expect : its only a plan between him and Mr. de | Buckanigger, nr some sich a name, to git up a sort of a s! ine, to see if they can’t git | a little consequence by it. Ther aint no I mistake about it—the Captain proves clear j as moonshine that wev’e got a right to negi - j tiate with Texas jest as much as we please, ! without cxin no odds of Mexico nor En gland, nor nobody else. But by don’t lie 1 say whether he’s in favor of jiiiin Texas to this country or net 1 1 don’t think he’s kep hack by any feir about his infliieiicin Con gress/ for he han’t got no more influence that- llutn his son Haserus has—but he’s afraid the thing won’t take. But who cares for old Tyler and the Mexicans? I red on, but. 1 didn't find any thing that amounted to much, til I come to the old lokvfi ky setmon about the Constitutional Currency” whar j he recommends his ’dicker hills again, at I the same time aludin to the principles of ; “ some of the eminent men who had per j ceedetl him in the Executive office,” ike : cussed old traitor. It makes my blood file 1 when I think how he got thar by the help of i the wliigs, and then to talk about his “ il lustrious end “footsteps,” unil sich; the very things he prcici.iM id j g r * agin before he got thar. But one of his . financial ides, in this part of his speech , struck me as monstrous quare, and 1 can’t sifer the thing out to my satisfaction to save me. lie ses the issue of 15,000,000 of Treasury notes would relieve the country . in one year, while the piittin out of lire same amount of United Slates Bank money j wouldn’t do it in fifteen years. Now, I’d like to know how any body can make that ; out ? If the country was suffer in fur mo ney, I don’t see why good United States bills that pass all through it would not oper ate. and give relief, as the doctor’s say, as soon us Treasury notes. But tlier’s no ac coiintin for lokyfoky ides or lokyfoky pruc tis on this subject. The great cry in the first place was “ divorce of Bank and State” —they didn’t want the goverment to have nothing to do with the Bank, it was too dangerous a institution to trust in the hands of the gover ment. Well, old Hi* kory put down the independent incorporated “bank of the people, and now they’re issuin Trea sury money, signed, not by the President of a Bank,‘but by the Goverment officers therselves. That’s lykyfoky divorce.— Here’s a copy of a lokyfoky, subtreasury, hard money constitutional currency hill, w hich I seen tother day, and which tbe newspaper s say is beginnin to go rite flush in the North. Its a monstrous pretty pic tered thing, all fixed off’ with eagles anil i women and ships and lokymotives, anil a heap o’ things. I want yon to print it in the Miscellany jest so the people can see wliat kind of a thing a lokyfoky bill of di vorce is.

There, now, is lokyfoky money, which is a dean gain on United States Bank money of HALF A MILL a year. That is, if any poor mar. can git hold of n fifty dollar hill (which is monstrous doubtful) and keep it 3 whole year he will make half a mill hy tl )e operation.
