A Connecticut broom-poddler—a shrewd chap, from, from over among the steady habits, wooden clocks, schoolmasters, and other fixins—drove through the streets of Providence heavily laden with corn brooms. He had called at several stores and otter ed his load, or ever so small a portion of it; but when he wanted the cash, and nothing else, in payment, they had uniformly given him to under stand that they had brooms enough, and that he might go further. At length he drove up to a large whole sale store un the \\ est side, and once more ottered his wares. “Well, i want the brooms badly enough,” said the merchant, “hut what will von take ki pay 7” This wits a poser. Tin • peddler was aching to get rid ol liis brooms : lie despised the very sight of his brooms ; but he would no sooner sell a single broom for cash than the whole load for any other article—especially that which lie could not dispose of so read ily as he could brooms. Alter a mo ment’s hesitation, hovyeYer, he screwed his courage to the sticking point—it required some courage, after having lost his chance of selling his load half a dozen times by a similar answer— and frankly told the merchant he must have cash/ Os course, the merchant protested that cash was scaicr, and that he must purchase, if he purchased at all, with what he had iu liis store to pay with. He really wanted the brooms and did not hesitate to say so. J3ut the times were hard, and he had notes to pay, aud had goods that most be disposed of. Finally, he said he would put the goods at the cost price, for the sake of trading, and would take the whole load of brooms which the peddler had labored so unsuccessfully at the other stores to dispose of ‘ .So unload the brooms,” said he to the man from Connecticut, “ami se lect any articles from my store, aud you shall have them at cost price.” The peddler scratched liis head. There was an idea there, as the sequel shows plainly enough. “I tell you what it is,” he answered at last, “just say them terms for Irnlf the load, and caslt for t’other half, and I’m your man. Li lowed et 1 <k>n t st'll eout, if Connecticut sinks with all her broom stuff, the next minute.” The merchant hesitated a moment, l,ut finally concluded the change a good one.' He would be getting half the brooms for something that would not sell as readily; flfs for the cost price, it was easy gammon in regard to it. The- bargain wws struck', the brooms were brought in, and the cash f,,. half of them was paid over. “Now, what will you have for the remainder of your bill asked the jwc reliant. The peddler scratched his head again, and this time more vigorously. He walked the floor, whistled and drummed with lus fingers on the head of a barrel. By-and-by his reply caino —slowly,, deliberately and em- phatically : “Ton Providence fellers are cuto ; you sell at cost, prbtty much all of you, and make money. 1 don’t see how its done. Now, I don t know about your goods, burrin' one article, and es I take anything else I may be cheated. So, see in’ as ’t\von t make any odds with you, I guess J 11 take brooms- 1 know them liko a book, and can swear to jest what you paid for ’em. And so saying, the peddler com menced re-loading his brooms, and having deposited half of his former load, jumped on his cart with a regu lar Connecticut grin, and leaving the merchant cursing his impudence and | his own stupidity, drove off in search of another customer. The Lcgitl-Tciidtti' Decision mill its El'iccl*. The New York Commercial and J'intm cial Chronicle , of the 12th, has an arti cle on this subject that will interest business men generally. Wo annex some extract: It is important for us to see just what has boon decided, and to learn, if possible, the results, both immedi ate and remote, which are likely to flow from it. The question before the Court arose on a note made previous to the passage of the Jjogul Tender Act, and was, in substance, whether such a contract! 1 , promising to pay dol lars, could be discharged by tlie ten der of currency; anti the decision was that it could only be paid with specie. In the opinion of the Chief Justice very many important questions ore discussed, and his views arc very fully rxjws'ssed ; lvnt yet tlm only point be fore the Court, and, therefore, the only point that could be decided wa» us stated above. This distinction is im portant, inasmuch as the inevitable inference and conclusion of the opin ion of the Chief Justice is that the LegalT tender Act is wholly unconsti tutional, and yet ho subsequently places his decision on the ground that the act, it enforced, would impair tin calm: of contracts made anterior to its passage, and therefore, to that extent is void, lienee, it was unnecessary for the Court to pronounce upon the broader question, audit did not do so. But still, in the disposition which the Chief Justice, and his associates agreeing with him, have made of this last case, we find apparent the very same consideration lor the public good which, as stated above, lias marked their course during their whale oun roversity. Tho act, they believe, is wholly on constitution ai—in which view a very large proportion of the le gal talent of the country coni.-ius— and so they indicate that belief very clearly ki the ruling opinion, thereby giving tlie country one more notice to prepare for what must necessarily come while they dispose of the casein hand without meeting that issue. Os course, as an immediate result of tho present decision, all outstand ing bonds and other obligation made prior to the passage of the legal ten der act, (and which have not been ab solutely or constructively renewed in currency), arc restored to a coin basis, principal and interest.. The direct-in ttuence of this may be important, on the general subject of a return to a specie basis, l’robably not less than three hundred and titty millions ot state, city and railroad bonds will thus" become specie paying. Beside, this, deposits in saving biui.Us, prior to, . I Mid, «ud as some claim life iusuro-no* ! policies issued before that date may be brought under the sarnie rule. Hence, it' tho applicability’ of this decision is thus extensive, the people will be to a greater extent familiarized with a coin currency, or at least, tlvere will be these additional interests draw ing in that direction. The cotton trade must soon follow, and after that other departments oi business; espe cially when the people sec that they are only anticipating tho inevitable by a brief period. Another interest we would remark in passing, which is al so likely to be directly attected by this decision, is railroad companies, whose rate of fare* is fixed under old statutes. The New York Central read, for in stance, is restricted by act of the Leg islature to two cents per mile for pas sengers.- It is believed .hat there is no reason why they cannot new de mand two cents in specie if they so desire. But as we stated above, there are results of the principles laid down by the Chief Justice, more remote and yet more important to the puplie at. large ; and foremost among them is the necessary conclusion that no future : act can be passed by ('engross author-' izing new issues of legal tenders. In other words the minds of the people may now be at rest, so far as the ques tion of inflation w cencemed. It now issues of tenders should be made, no creditor can be forced to accept them. We consider this result of the highest importance to the business interests of the country, since it gives us one ele ment of eertainty with regard to the future. But it may he claimed that inflation process may be continued by means of bunk notes. Ibis wo fool is au evil wbi.cn carries an antnrote within itself. Even during the pres ent season banks in this city have been forced to consider the propriety of establishing some mode ot sending back country bank notes for redemp tion, and the time is not fur distant when (if the government, does not it self establish a thorough system of re demption) the city hanks iw self de fence will be compelled to do it; und the more of these notes there are the sooner it will come. A healthy comjietition is waged by two opposition stage lines in \\ iseon- ! sin. One lino carries for nothing and gives a dinner to each passenger; the other carries for nothing and gives each passenger a dinner and a pair ot buckskin gloves ! Two strangers recently stayed at a farmer’s house in Orfliidy t_ enter, lowa. The next morning oift hired the farmer to take him to Steamboat Bock. lhiring liis absence the other ran away with his wife and children. Oxlv six of the thirty-seven Gover nors of the United States are lh-mo erats. The others aro ltadicals of the straitest sect, or as an exchange puts it, “the nondescript spawn, of military elections.” Alabama, OonueetiruU, Oregon, New Hampshire, Hltode Is land and Vermont elect Governors this : year. i Fciiiklc lt.« uke rx. The latest Honnation in New York . is the opening of the first banking house l»y women. Tho style of tho firm is Woodhull, Cluflin & Cos., and theiv place of business 41 Broadway. Tbe novelty of the thing attracted crowds of people. Everybody went to take a look at the phenomenon, iMtil were received with the cool profes sional air of veteran ffnam’iers. They answered nil questions curtly and shrewdly ; said they intended to do a stock, note and exchange business, and, from the way in-which the coant- , ing-house was fitted up, they must have money. Any way, they say they ; will risk half a million to prove that women are us smart us men in busi ness, a fact that no sane man will dis- ; pute, as the dear creatures behind tlie counter always do get the better <*f the admiring fools on the other side: Fancy a young fellow buying exchange from a radient being iu point lace and diiwuoiala, with basilisk eyes that be numb and fascinate the unwary youth ! Could ho possibly dispute tho calculation or the rate of exchange when slut brought all of her charms to hem- ob likiv / Os Bourse not. A beautiful cashier or piquant teller would “play the wild” with the sus ceptible bank-runners, and, iu the set tlement of accounts between tliis fe male fii-iii of bankers and tho men bankers, tbe direst confusion would result. There would be no possibili ty of getting a piece of paper dis counted, either, unless you were very “sweet and nice,” or had preposter ously luxurious whiskers. Then, if this baud should break, the tears or hysterics of the female financiers would hardly console tlie depositors for the loss of their money, nor would they liml it in their hearts to prose cute them for swindling if they should all ekqve willt the depisits.

At a temperance Dre-eting in Phila delphia, some years ago, a learned clergyman spoke in favor of wine as a drink ; demonstrating iis use quite to liis own sati-factisn, to be scriptural, gentlemanly, and healthful. When he sat down a plain elderly man rose, and asked leave to say a few words. ‘A young friend of mine,’ sakl he, ‘who had long been intemperate, was at length prevailed on to take the pledge of entire abstinence front all that could intoxicate, lie kept the pledge faith fully for some time, straggling with liis habit fearfully till one evening in a so cial party, glasses of wine were hand ed around. They caino to a clergy man present, wlvo took a glass, saying a few words in' vindication, ol the janc-tite-. ‘Well,’ thought the young man, ‘lf a clergyman can take wine, and justify it to, well, why not I 1 So lie also took a glass. It instantly re kindled Iris tiery and slumbering ap petite, and after a rapid downward course, lie died of debt iimi tremens— died a raving madman.’ The old man paused for utterance, and was just able to add, ‘that young man was my son, 1 and the clergyman was the Itev. Doc i tor who has just addressed the nssem - ! blv.’ TlOiiuralc :t ntl Mead j.J)riuHer*. A “merchant prince” of New York, a portly six-footer of great manly beauty, who never dined without his brandy and water, nor went to bed without a terrapin or oyster supper, and who was never known to be drunk, died of chronic diarrhuea, a common end of those w ho are never intoxicated and never out of liquor. Hall’s Jour nal of Health gives this account of hiss death : * Months before he died—he was a vear in dying—lie could eat nothing without distress, and at death tin whole alimentary canal was a mass of disc a so; in the midst of his millions lie died of inanition. That is not the half, reader. He bad hern a steady drinker, a daily drinker for twenty eight years. iScn ftlu had been eating up one daughter for littoen years, ail bother is in the mad-house ; the third and fourth were of unearthly beauty, but they blighted, jaded and- faded.— into heaven, we tiust — in their sweet teens ; another is tottering on the verge of the grave, and only one is left with all the senses, and each of them is as weak as water. YOL V. —NO. 2. | H#u Who \\ iii Women. I God has sw muxfe tho sexes that wo men like ‘children cling to men : lean ujxm them as thouph they were supe rior in mind and lusly.

Wo men therefore, who have good minds and pure hearts, want men to lean up on. Think of their reverencing ■ drunkard, a liar, a fool or a libertine. If a man would have a woman do him homage, he must be manly in every sense ! a true gentleman, not entirely after the Chesterfield school, ou# prv lite, because, his- heart is fail of kind, ness to all; one who treats her with respect, even deference, because she is ! a woman, who ir»i*r etmdescends to* ; say silly things to her ;. who brings laer up to his level, if his mind is above levs, who is never over anxious to do right; who has no time to be? frivolous with her. • Always dignified in speech *nxT. act); who iff'ver s j lends too much upon her? never yields to temptation, even if she puts ix iu the way ; ambitious to make his mark in the w rld whether she en courages hhiror not; who is never i*v miliar with her to the extent of lieing an adopted brother or a cousin ; who is not over careful about bis dress ; uL ways pleasant and considerate, but al ways keeping his place of the muay the head, and never losing it. Such deportment, with noble principles-,, good mind, energy awl industry, will win any woman in the wide world, who is worth winning.
