THK DRUNKARD'S HISTORY OF HIMSELF.
M had a father—tbe grave la his bed t
1 had a motVr—sho sleep* with tV dead:
Freely 1 wept when they left mo alone—
llut 1 shed all my tears un their grave and tVir
stone;—
I planted a willow—I planted a yew,
And left them to sleep till tV last trumpet blew I
'Fortune was mine, and l mounted Vr car—
Pleasure from virtue bad beckoned me far;
Onward I went, like an avalancV down,
And tV sunshine of fortune was changed to a frown.
'Fortune was gone, and I took to my slda
A young, and lovely, and beautiful bridal
Her I entreated with coldness and acorn,
Tarrying back till 1V break of tha morn |
Slighting Vr kindimsa and mocking Vr feara;
Casting n blight on Vr tendereat years i
Sad and ne*looted and weary l left her—
Birrow and care of Vrmuua bereft her—
Till like a atar, wVn it falls from its pride.
She sunk on t V bosom of misery, and died I
Thad a child, and Itgrewllko a vine—
Fair aa tlmnioe of Damoocui wav mine;
Fair—and i watched o'er her innocent youth,
At an angel from heaven would watch over truth.

liar blue eye was languid, Vr cheek um waa warm;
Seventeen summers bud shun* on her brow
Tho w vemoemh w.nter beheld Vr laid low I
Yonder they sleep in their (revet, side by tide,
A fntlwr—a mother—a daughter—a bride!
•When tVy had left me I stood Vre alone—

cut mo off, turning mu towards a sand Vacli, by
rising up in tha gross, and holding their rifles In a
menacing position, without firing. This drove me
down to a beach, when tho sufferings of my foci bo-
coming unbearable, I tore olf part of my shirt and
wound It round thum, and then want through the
night walking on ibis bench, the Indians still oou-
tinning near me, until about 11 o'clock the next
day, when I fell down on the sund completely ex
hausted. Shortly ofter, the two Indians that I first
saw camo up to sumo trees cleso by, and wore joined
by otVrs. I expected they would shoot me, but said
to them, "why do you wish to hurt me; whenever
any of you oomo to our tumps wo treat you well,
and when wa take you prisoners, wa never harm

Thk Ranks.—Thorn arc some few plain propo
sitions connected with tho present Condi lion of our
Brinks, which It may nut bo amiss to recall to our
readers.
It is wi ll known that New York, universally, is a
creditor ciry, und consequently, cunnut ho drawn
upon from elsewhere. Tliure can, therefore, bo no
•lunger of any drain of specie from our Bunk* to
satisfy debt* in other plnces.
Nevertheless, wn hear puoplu talk of drufii for
ipecie from Philadelphia as though we worn the
debtor* instead of ihe creditor*. This is frightoiiiug
one’s self with *liud»ws.

can ho collected. Tlie lus* tlm* incurred would bo

whom it should, of cniisu,full.
But tho foreign demand, it Is urged, will drain the
vault* of our Bank*. It lias not laid thniuffirciVre-
tofum. Probably same throe millions of dollars
have been sent to Europe from this port wiiliin tho
last six weeks; yet, in that same period, tho specie
in tho vault* of tho city Banks hat actually incrcat-

because hero they will bo sold for sound money.
In t his way,bath u supply of bills and specie may V

Ugnr* could atona for by years of imprisonment.
Yuur comment* unon tho Bank, and its fraudulent
career are just and true. I once enlortained differ
ent views with regard to the financial ability und
integrity of its management. I now believe that
»* » • wtw l ,uo l vcnt ywr* “go. Why did
Mr. Biddle at llto time of tho last suspension issue
tho hill# of tlto old Bank to the amount of some
milliuns of dollars? It was said at the time, that
no did it because ho knew that lie would not he ob
liged to redoem thorn, although ho might ho forced
tup resumption of spocie payment* on tho hilts of
the now Bank. This may be partially true; if so,
it was a deliberate fraud. My convictions are that
ho was conscious nt that period that tlto Bank was
rotten, and with the "suspicions of a guilty mind,"
foared the public itudsome inklings of its condition.
Ho therefore resorted to tho issuing of the hills of
thn old Bank that ho might havo tha udvuntngo of
the credit which from long familiarity, they had ac
quired in the public mind. In either case the Is
suing of them wus dishunest, illegal, and virtually
no better than a forgery, lohnsun definos forgery
to bo •• thecrlme or falsification." For this crime,
Biiqjrimin Rathbun is now confined In the States,
prison at Auburn. Why is it that anoth -r indivi
dual whose speculations have been eqti til) wild und
reckless, and whose " falsification" has boon great
er than Ralhlitui's, should now bo basking in tho
aliiuancc of a princely fortune, "calm ns a sum
mer's morning," raising mulberry trees and silk
worms hy wny ofpastimo.
Verilv it is a marvel to mo, who profess to tako
only a plain view uf the matter, why the fortunes of
some men should be so opposite.
A MERCHANT.
It is a melancholy refioction that tho conduct of
single institution, (the Bank ofthe United States,)
should involve the banks generally of the Union in
llto misfortune nf a suspension uf specio pnymonts.
It toom* that that institution has chosen its time for
a HHpension, skilfully. Four or six weeks lienee
tho suspension would havo been limited to tlte Phil
adelphia und Baltimore Batiks, for within Unit peri
od tho Soiuhorn crop reaching tho markets of ox*
lortuUoo would have completely protected the
southern Banks from a drain of their specie, if they
hod not suspended. In tho sius of thu mammoth
institution, therefore, those who havo not boon par
ties participant in her profits of her monopoly are
compelled to share both the burthen and the odium.
To carry through tho gigantic schemes of Iuiortial
Improvements, Pennsylvania wa* induced to charter
a himk with an immense capital, which as tho con
sideration a large bonus was not only paid, but ad
vances were made in taking up her loan# to a very
large amount,
The City of Philadelphia, commercially jealous of
Now York: sought in 1838, to engross a forge share
•f the trade of the Southern nttd South Western
States, which tbe New York Jobbers gladly shifted
to their neighbors, warned by their losses in 1837.—
Remittances having be<*n delayed to tho Philadelphia
Merchant* from tho South and South West, and be
ing unable to meet their own engagements, tu*|ien-
sion ofsfgvio payments in Philadelphia is rcsuivtd

From the Montreal Courier of the 15/A imt.
Thera wus a report in circulation last evening,that
the sympathisers had crossed LakeOntario,und burn
ed nearly all tho hints"* in Cohourg. It wn* said that
only Mr. C.iicott's distillery and dwelling, and
about ailoxen of other houses, escaped. It was also
reported, that un unsuccessful attempt wus mude to
burn Port Hope tho same night. Wo give these
reports ns wo heard them.
Cohourg is about 300 mile* from Montreal, and
intelligence cannot woll be conveyed from one place
to the other iu less thnn two days. If Cohourg was
destroyed, therefore, it must have been some time
in tho night ofthe 12th, to be known at Montreal on
the evening of tho 14th. But wa have tlie Roches
ter papers of the 15th, in which no mentionis made
of any such event, and Rochester is only about 50
miles from Cubourg. It is probable, therefore, that
the reports nt Montreal are unfounded.
But if Cohourg has not Iwen fired, it seems that
Mr. Mackenrje hns been fired Ht; as stated in the
following paragraph from tho Rocltes.er Democrat
oltho 15 th.

SAVANNAH, July 5ih, 1839.
Ueur Sir—I hava two threshers made by your-
seif for the purpose of preparing rice for the pes
tle# and believe from tho experiment made,that thoy
will answer nil purposes desired by the planters in
cleaning 8800 bushels from the straw, this avidenco
has been most satisfactory, in tlie speedy process
Jt* well ns the cleaning of tho stalk, and less being
broken than even tlie frail, so pronounced by exm£
noticed planters, who visited the mill when in full
oppernlinn.
I am yours, very respectfully,
WM. MANED.
Mr. P, Graves,

chi hoy, who stood in the area, to tali him who had
fired at the window.
Tim lad, who had heard the report of tlie pistol,
said In- did not know, and no one else was in viow
except B person near ibo stair of the brick black-
sniiili shop opposite. O.i oxnminoton, tbo murks
when* a bullet hnd passed through the pluisier wn#
risible in tha wall opposite the window, leaving the
inference that tbe shot was fired from the other side
of tho millruce. Tho jailer, on inquiry, learned thnt
a tall stout mnn, wills u fowling piece and n dog,
wn* seen in the direction whence the shot must have
procerdetl, about that time; and he n'so found that
•» hole hud been made with buck shot (which he h**)
in one of ibo panes in an adjoining window. To
suppose that uny one would mistake lho elated bats
of Mr. Mackenzie’s windows, in thetbird story of a
Inrao jail, for game, is absurd. Hols, however, tru
ly grateful for hi* preservation.
