And when a man's taking a Miss for a wife, He is Miss-led as well as Miss-taken. When I courted Miss Kidd and obtained the kiss, 1 thought in the warmth of my paSsiorf, That I'd made a great hit in thus gaining a Miss, But it was only a Miss-calculation. For so many Misses surrounded Miss Kidd, Wilh mo and my love interfering, A jealous Miss-trust put it into her head, That she ought not to give me a hearing, There's a certain Miss-'chifhcc that I met with one day, Almost sent my hopes to destruction, And slio lell a suspicion 10 an 1 migni b.iy? All owing to one Miss construction. Deceived by a Miss-information, I wrote, The cause of'ner anger demanding. Miss.direction prevented her getting Ih'e 'note, * And introduced Miss understanding. > When to make her my wifo I exulting swore, Miss belief made her doubt my intention. And I n'Cfcrly got wed to Miss foiTtino before I could wdk'n her from Miss apprehension, But when she no longer would yield to Miss ddubt, Nor be led by Miss-rcprescntation, She had with Miss-like a mbst 'seriodb fall out, And to wed had no more hesitation. But when at the church to Be married we met, Misk-tuke made the parson to linger. And go'l so annoyed at an awkward Miss-fit, I could not get the ring dti 'tny finger. Having been so Miss used, I now kept a strict wafchi Though I still lived in fear of Miss carriage, And I found, when loo late, an unlucky iYliss-malch Interfered with the joys of my marriage. Mini-rule in my dwelling put'evcrylhing wrong, Miss management here todk her station, Tift my cash, like tho lime I take in singing my song, "l Was wasted by Miss application. JAMES K. POLK. The following remarks were written before M. Polk's death, and therefore arc not to be regarded as a mere common place eulogy upon the virtues of a departed ExPrcsident. They are copied from the New York Atlas, an independent paper; and as we cordially endorse them, we cannot withhold such a just tribute to a great tnan, voluntarily made at the moment perhaps when his spirit was passing from time to eternity: "Mr. Polk has passed through the political career that God and his totintry ysigned Inn, and is now a private citizen. lie has neither patronage nor favor to bestow. He is powerless ; and hence one who has known him long and well may speak of him without being suspected of the indulgence of mcrcev narv designs, or of hoping for the attainment of personal sinister objects. " A better, a more honorable, or a more high-minded man than Jantes K. Polk never inhaled the atmosphere that surrounds his country. The man does not live who can trlily say that Mr. Polk ever wronged him. He sought not the injury or the downfall of any one : and, had he possessed the means, lie would have made every man happy.? He never was guilty ol a disreputable action. He loved his country as well as any other man, but not better; and the whole end and aim of his official life was to promote its interests and happiness. In this he followed the dictates of his heart, and his own personal interest, and was not entitled to any encomium. He sought none. As a statatesriian, he was equal to the office to which he was elevated by the suffrages of his countrymen,.and he discharged his trusts with ability and fidelity. His administration was the most successful and brilliant one the nation ever witnessed ; and was a succession of triumphs an glories. It formed a brilliant epocha in the history cf the ReDublic. " Mr. Polk possessed but a single weakness. It consisted in timidity. He Wits not a coward. But lie lacked that confidence in himself which is essential to a party, that wotild decide speedily, and act precipitately. He required and always demaned time for reflection before he deled. Once satisfied that he was rignt, he did not hesitate. "Mr. Polk's cabinet was strong and a matchless band of men; Buchanan, Marcy. Walker, Mason, Touccy, and Cave Johnson ?the latter was most infamously abused and lampooned?were all able men ; and they formed a cabinet which; for talent and strength, cannot be excelled by any selection that can be made from the present generation. Mr. Polk was at (ho head of that cabinet ; and though it possessed Very great influence over liiin, lie was 'eVery inch a President,' and, in the language, of Mr. Buch anan, 'was more of a President than any other man who had previously held the Presidential office.' No cnbinet scheme or measure was ever adopted if it did not meet his approbation. " When Mi. Polk Went into retirement, a good and a great man quit the service of his country. Wc hope he may long live to witness the benefits his wisdom and patriotism conferred on the American people.'' AMERICAN CREDIT. The nresent condition of Europe is inviting the reflection not only of statesmen, but of practical men of business throughout the world, Whiie her old feudal edifices are mouldering into ruin, her systems of finance, of revenue, and expenditure must needs undergo changes corresponding to those in the body politic. The progress of ideas may revolutionize States* but no reform is complete, no new government securely established, without analogous changes in its system of finance to governmental progress which has led to the reactionary movements in ; Franco Germany, and England, and (will prove the fertile source of new revolutions, until the resource? of the Governments are no longer equal to then1 suppression-.Adopting a mercantile phrase, every Government in Europe is bankrupt; the mort gaged labor of future generations being scarcely equal to the payment of the interest of its debts. Every new revolution, every effort to suppress that revolution, fcads to a fresh expenditure of money, while the resources are diminishing, or remain at best, stationary; the increase of the population itself becomes an addifkfua! source, of e'fribarrastnienl. Under these circumstances, the question may well be asked, "What is to become of the various bonds issued from time to time by the different Governments of Europe?" In Er.glhnd, the holder of consols looks upon them as a transferable annuity, which will be paid as long as the Government maintains its ascendency within and its relative position to other Powers; in other words, as I - : - r long as, unaer me present organization oi her society, the products of the labor of Great Britain sell at such remunerating prices in foreigh and domestic markets as Sup port the people and the Government. A change in the latter, a depression in manufactures, in commerce, or a change in lite commercial relations of the woVfd, would be fatal to her credit and her bond-holders. Holland has never yet paid the debt of h'eV revolution add independence from Spain, and was but recently obliged to have recourse to a forced loan to nrfeet the payment of her interest. Belgium was, by the London conferences, saddled with a large portFAn of'the debt of Holland, and maintains the luxury of a seoarate Government at an immense sac rifice. The mainfcnance of the standing army of Prussia absorbs more than half of her annual income. Denmark has gone through several bankruptcies. Austria has failed twice?once paying twelve, the second time twenty per cent, of her indebtedness, and is now literally beggared; while the finances of Russia are brilliant only to the eye of the inexperienced, who does not consider that her entire internal circulation consists of paper; the Emperor being the great monopolizer of the precious metal. In France the conversion of the five per cents was seriously agitated several years prior to the late revolution; but the holders of these bonds belonging mostly to that class of people from whom Louis Phillippe derived his main support, the project, though repeatedly urged in the Chambers; and causing abdication of more than one Minister of Finance, was as often abandoned as renewed. It is never< theless clear that France is not able to continue to pay that high rate of interest, though for political reasons the Resent Government may be in favor of such a course. In addition to all this, the oriental question (as the question about the division of Turkey is called by diplomatists) is now pressing for solution?a question affecting the materia) interests of every European 1 n:_.:? .1?'um.i.. i rower anu L'?>iiun;uii? tvun mc siuiu <juu oflhe whole European Pentareliy.* Now let us reflect (or a moment on the position of the United Slates. She has made iter revolution; she has passed the circle which, in the progress of reform, threatens disorganization and anarchy. Her resources are but just beginning to develop themselves; her populatiori is increasing iaster than any other on the globe, and receives annually large accessions of thousands upon thousands from Europe; while money, finding a better and safer investment in Aineri ca, follows in the tide of emigration. , The whole annual product of the labor ol the United States averages in round numbers two thousand millions of dollars. The whole indebtedness of the United States is about sixty millions; less than three weeks' labor of the People applied to the debt would wipe it off. The indebtedness of the Slates is about two hundred millions; a little more than two months' labor would cancel it. Europe now sends ug every year from two to three hundred thousands frelh hands, that help us \Villi labor and capital to pay the interest of oilrdebt; while fresh roads to commerce and wealth place us in the vantage grounds of acquisition among the most n/ltiAf PiAatd notinnc tif* Hin nirl 11 Pan if (\n Iliuuau IV/U3 (KUIVtIO '/I IIIV/ VsUI III* VUII IV UVi doubted that, under those' circumstances, "the eyes of European capitalists will be opened to the superior intrinsic value of our securities compared with their own? Can any one suppose that thinking men, acquainted with our Country and People, and the at least equal safety of instutions, which require neither an established ehurcli nor a standing army for theif-support, will hesitate to \tilhdraw their funds from their present hazardous investment, in order to purchase American securities, placed beyond the possibility of accident, and yielding a highef interest? There is rio doubt now that Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, in fact all the Stales ofour Union, will meet their obligations, and , that the States just riarricd will continue to pay their interest as regularly as Massachusetts. As to the stocks of the United States, there are no securities in the world to equal them, for there exists a certainty of the regular payment of the principal also; The funded debt of the United Slates was in 1817 about one hundred and thirty millions of dollars; all of which was paid off" before the year 1832, including thirteen millions of dollars of three per cerlt per stock. This three per cent, stock was not onlv paid off at par, but a surplus of twenty eight trillions of dollars divided among the States. The fact of the payment of a three per cent, irredeemable debt at j ar ought to be placed on record as the only instance in the history of modern financo since (he introduction of paper mohey. Applying the European value of money and her present rate of interest (one and a half to two and a half per cent, per annum) to our securities and stocks, wlio can estimate the price they are destined to attain? United States six per cents are now sold in London at 100 1-2 while English three per cents bring 92 1-2.

I The other day, glancing over a newspaper, the following paragraph, descriptive oi proceedings in the Court of Bankruptcy, met our eye. The name of the parly only is altered : 4 Mr. Commissioner sat, but the case disposed nt were of no public interest. Augustus Jfibbsf who was director of a , society called the- Cofi'l Company came up on the question of certificate. Mr. Nibbs, an elderly gentleman, had retired from the trade on a handsome independence, arid was unfortunately induced to become a member o'f "this bubble coirifpany. Being the only solvent man in the concern, he was ciiprl fni- the Hphtq nf ihn rnmnnnv nnd rtlin wuvw ',,w mv"%w "w ?;*i j 7 ed. Ilis honor expressed his surprise af ihe credulity with which Mr. Nibbs had suffered himself to be gulled by sharpers, but at the same time expressed his concern at the 'condition to wfffch he was reduced.?Certificate granted.' We think the reporter for the press was scarcely justified in saying that the above case had no public interest. To < ur mind it is fall of meaning and instruction. We have never, in so few words, rea'd a more affecting case of individual ruin?hopes de stroyed, confidence abused by the blackest roguery. We offer a tribute of comparsion to Mr. Nibbs, although we know nothing of him bryOnd what the reporter ha$ given of his sad history. Ignorant of actual particulars, we can nevertheless, easily fancy a biography for the unfoitunate gentleman.? Every line in the paragraph aids the imagination. Mr. Augustus Nibbs is an elderly person retired from business. By a long course of diligence in his profession, he had realized a competent fortune, and had retired to a neai villa at Iiainstead, Norwood, or some other pleasant suburban retreat. In this delightful seclusion, within an omnibus distance of the town, and an arrangement by which he might read the 'morning papers daily,' Mr. Nibbs had every reason to look forward to a few years of tranquil enjoyment, along with the aged partner of his fortunes. There is a slight difficulty as t<5 whether Mr. Nibbs had any family. We rather believe he had an only daughter, who was grown up, and married, and therefore, as he supposes, off his hands. But the mar. riage of Eliza, as We shall call the daughter, had not turned out happily, so far as worldly prosperity is corifcerned. Her husband hfrd not been successful in business, and shortly after the retirement of the father, his son-in. law stood very much in want of a situ ation. JLet us here moralize ror a momem. His money was little better than rolling in the 3 per cents. Here was an oportlinity for making an investment; and besides, if he took a hand in the tiling, it might be the means of getting a good situation ibr Tom, that unfortunate son-in-law of his. Here we again take the liberty of moralizing a little. One with another, at least thee-fourths of all the joint-stpek. companies projected rest oil talse or deiusiVc statements. Decent people, who have retired for life to their easy, chnifs.are not blest with a thorough perception of this fact. There they sit reposingly at one side of the parlor fire, their wife on the other. There is a pleasant warmth from . the grate. A favorite little dog lies stretch-, ed out confidingly on the rug, a picture of animal ease and enjoyment. No sound is heard but the cheerful piping of a canary, I winch is hung up to bask in tiie sun's rays at the kitchen window. Employment?old man reading lh<? papers ; 'missus' at darriifig or crotchet. Now who would haVe the soul to break up this scene ; shift the accessories ; turn out the old genilcman from his well earned chimney corner; break the heart of the wife ; send the little dog a drift to the sport of butcherers' boys; and kill the canary f lYiist us , there arc such upbreaksj The Jaw is an unrelenting mon. stor ; and those may flunk theniselves well off who do not come under it talons. 1 Not to wander too far from the point: the worthy beings whom we talk of commit a serious indiscretion when they havfe anything to do with joint-stock companies. To understand these concerns, you ^required to go about and hear all the gossip respecting them ?who has got them up? whether the names appended to prospectuses are real or sham? what, soberly speaking, are the prospects of success? Not being assured on these points, let the schemes, however fair-looking in print pass unheeded. By no means attend any preliminary meetings. If you do. you will get yourself in some way or other committed. Should you be afflicted with a a benevolent tendency, be only still more on your guard. Let all projects involving money risks be examined on rigorous commercial principles; It may sound harshly to say this; but who thanks Mr. Nibbs for having ruined not only himself, but his Wife, his dog, and his canary, all to help oh a concern which he had some notion wOuld benefit his Sori-in law. Unfortunate Nibbs! It was d bad business your ever going near that preliminary committee meeting of 'the Coal Association. Why did you ever take the chair, arid feel flatttered at seeing your name down as as a director! That polite gentleman in the satin waistcoat and rings, who acted as secretary, was a regular sharper. T^hc whole thing was a scheme concocted for quiet people like yoOrsclflolose their inonarr And korl nnf IVfi-a rflwarS hfir 11 V i&IIM HUM ||W? ! ? ?( Alt WWW J suspicions? Do you not remember hersay?, ing to yon one day, when yoil were taking your hat to go out, 'Really, my dear, 1 wish ( you would have nothing to do with tlicm joint-stock concerns? VVhat business have you to run such risks? Are we not quite , comfortable as we are? Any more money would dojus no sort of good; we cou'd not eat, drink, or sleep better if we had the whole | Bank of England. Twelve and a half pcf cent, you say? f believe (hat is aH nortoense.

They are generally suspicions of eJap-lrap-looking projects; &ncf, on the whoIe^lftey.&te rigtit*. They have a salutary fear of domestic dis^ organization. Nibbs, & bankrupt,, clearel out, now feels the force of fiis wiWt obser-. vations and counsels. All the the^friiits of forty years' in lustry are gone. AtfbM man almost forgotten by professiooal ^t^uai^tances, he finds out -that he has once more to begin the world. But compassionately we drop the curtain over the efforts which a fhanly though subdued spirit makes Co recover itself. At the worst, there are nooks to shelter men like Nibbs from the blasts of I rw '.-s. .. - auversny. 1 ne corporation! oj .JU)drton, with a magnificence which has no Jrifcalell; offer a humble and not comfortless fti&ri&e id their respective almshouses \d Vhcffe yhorn the world has hot treated kindl^/^tet us hope that; fill else ftftfdg; the too cwsiuIouS Nibbs hnd his oTa woman?not forgetting the dog and canary?will id one of these homes have found i, refuge wherein their aching hearts may test in peace.
