A lliuno. Ton sec this knife, with tito three teeth cut In fue blade's back: Open it wide: you hear A click. To you it ls meaningless, but, Wien heard m Koine, there's a stab to fear. More years ago than I care to count, I lingered thc long midsummer through At thc root or the ancient Alban Mouut, Sketching and dreaming, as painters do. Each dav as I went to my morning task, A von?g gu l carried my easel-frame, And^ wailing to watch my work, would ask Her countless questions: "What was thc name "Of my country?"' "Was it near Naples?" "Could . It be seen from fhc top or St. Toter's dome?" "lt must be wretched, or else why would One ever have waudered so rar from homer" That's her portrait hanging on yonder wall Though a peasant's, the race has a beauty rare Please notice her figure, lithe and tall, Aud her bare brown legs, aud her lustrous hair. I thought her a child-she was scarce flftecn And, pleased with her innocent, childish ways, Gave never a thought to what love might mean lu those warm, luxurious summer days. And so, at the summer s end, I paid . The sum Tor her simple service due. And went mv way, with no word said That thc angels might not have listened to. I had hardly left thc little town A league behind, when the poor child sprung From a niche In thc wayside wail, and down In the dust at my lect thc money flung. And then in her eyes a sudden mist Or tears rose, veiling their flashing pride: While bid In her sleeve, close above the wrist. Was the knile. with its long blade opened wide. ?er fierce, wild love, with a sudden hame, Had flashed into swiftly-passing hate; And so by the road, with'vengeful aim, She crouched like a tigress lying In wait. Since then I have won my worked-fer prize: For my pict m es sell, a?il the critics praise; But I sometimes wonder If he i* wi.se Who chooses a life of loveless days. And 1 hair resolve to return again To thc Alban town, and to pass my lire. Away from thc world, and ILS joy arid pain. With my wild, proud, passlouaic peasant wire. w. L. ALDEN. A PLEA EOE MORE GREENBACKS. A "Forcible Spccrlt l?y Senutcr Saivycr. During the debate on the "Greenback" bill I In the United States Senate, on Wednesday, ^Senator Sawyer gave a lorcible description ol' the injustice done thc Southern States In thc distribution of the national currency. In re? ply to Senator Patterson, of New Hampshire, Senator Sawyer saul : I wish to s?y one word in reply to some re? marks which fell from the honorable senator from New Hampshire. Methinks that New England has been pommelled in this debate anu in every other important measure of legislation that is brought up. I desire, on my own part, to disclaim any purpose to throw any blame on New England for having this large circulation; but, on the other hand, I desire to put in my protest against its being so constantly claimed here that the reason New England has this large na? tional bank circulation is on account of her patriotism, for lt will be borne in mind that in Julv, 1805, after the war was all over, alter the last Confederate soldier had laid down Iiis arms, tho threo States i of New England which are most largely in ex- i cess, Massachusetts, Connecticut and lthodo : Island, had but $40,000,000 of tho $131,000,000 i of national bank circulation then outstanding. < Subsequently to that, within one year's time, i they had increased the amount of national < bank circulation which they had to 182,634,473 ? out of a total of $2C7,000.O0O. In view of the t claim that this circulation was given to these i States because they were so much more patri- ] otic than other States, I put in the suggestion i that the su plus lund, as reported in July, 1805, I as belonging to the national banks, after pay- ? lng all dividends, and they were largo, was i nearly or quite ten per cent of their entire . capital stock. Now, when thc patriotism ol' | those States at that time went so evenly with < the size of thc surplus lund, as compared with i the capital stock, I question if it is not rather ( a matter of doubt whether it was pure patri- < o?sm which induced thc addition ol that $42,- | 000,000 to their bank circulation. HOW NEW ENGLAND COT THE LION'S SHARE. The senator from New Hampshire has given ns an argument, and a very strong argument, why New England should get rid of some of ; her circulation. He tells us that the money ' In the national banks of Now England docs not Si, as we very well know it did not go, to help i e farmers abd manufacturers in those States, . but It goes into Wall street and Broad street in \ New York, and into State street in Boston, and ls there used by stock-jobbers and gold-gam- i Were to ral6e thc price of gold and to raise tho j. price of stocks. It is because they get hold of , this circulaHon, when lt is so near thc great commercial and financial centres, that wc want to distribute It over the country and bring lt in- J to thc neighborhood of those men who do want 1 it, to enable them to produce and to remove 1 the great staples which lie at thc foundation of the commerce of this country. We wish lo 1 relieve the people of New England ol some s Eortion of that which, as this honorable sena- ? >f from New Hampshire has shown us, Is such a curse to those people and thc country, i ?9 Wish, tn tjr&Q from New England, where i utey arc so near the v... 0. .".-B i and stock-jobbing, the means by which that gold-gamb.ing and stock-jobbing are carried , on, and carry lt all over the country, where it . will be brought in(o"the neighborhood of thc | ^men who can usc and win legitimately uso . "that money, instead ol' leaving lt in tho hands of those who now control it for those wicked and unholy purposes That ls one of ibo rca- J sons why we think lt Will not only be not endan- < Sering New England, but be a benefit to the ] cw England Sutes, and those other States 1 which have this large amount of circulation, to take it from them. I am glad to lind so able an advocate lor taking this excess of circula? tion from those banks in one of tho senators from New Hamshirc, who says that Iiis neigh? bor, the farmer who raises wool, cannot get money to move that wool to market, while thc gold-gambler can got it to throw disorder and confusion over the finances of this country. But, slr, there is another item in the speech of tho senator from New Hampshire to which I wish to allude. He says that adding to thc volume of the currency, adding to thc circula? tion, will not make money plenty. I am quite aware that his reckoning on that point is true if it were applicable; but we do not propose lo Increase the volume of the currency at all. .We only propose to take lt and put it where it will be used for legitimate purposes, and take lt away from those places where it ls used for Illegitimate purposes WHAT IT COSTS TO MOVE THE SOUTHERN CROPS. Now, what 13 the illustration of the usc of money Issued from points where wo wish it should not bc issued, and issued from points where we wish to haye it issued? Suppose a planter in South Carolina desires to get money to raise a crop or to move a crop; what docs he do? There is no national bank in his neigh? borhood. The people there cannot get a char? ter for such an Institution. The WOOCOO,OOO of national banking capital is all taken up. What docs he do? He* goes to his factor in Charleston, and asks him for money for this purpose. Tho factor says, "I have no money; we ns.ve no banking capital here; wc used to have $14,000,000 In this city, but now wc have less than haifa million; there is no opportuni? ty to get money here, but l know a gentleman in New York who is in correspondence willi capitalists there; I will write lo him and see what can bc done." Tho planter tells him to write to his friend in New York. He writes to Iiis friend In New York. The New York man is perhaps a director ot a national bank, or if not, be knows some director of a national bunk. Ile borrows the money of a national bank In New York or New England. The na? tional bank In New York or New England re? ceives a certain rate of interest .'or it. The New York man sends the money or gives a oredittotbe Charleston factor. But in that process the New York mau does not do Iiis work for nothing. There is a commission to bc paid him. and that commission is added to the interest which thu bank receives for the money. Again, when the Charleston factor lends thc mouey to thc planter, thc Charleston factor docs not do his part ot thc business for noth? ing; he charges another commission, and that ls tu be added again to the tribute which we pay to thc bank which issued that mouey. When it gets into the hands ol' thc planter lie is ?laying the interest, in the first place, which the bank geLs, Ibu commission which tho New York man gets, and the commission which the Charleston factor gets, and these commis? sions are generally larger than thc amount of Interest, su that thu co m in on bank rate ul' in? terest in the cities of the South is uever, or very rarely, less than one per cent, a mouth, and very frequently one and one half per cent, a month. TUE TRIBUTE PAID NEW ENG LAST. This is the tribute which wc pay to the New England banking corporations who have this large excess of national banking circulation. It does not go directly into the pockets of the men who own the stock of these banks, but lt goes to them and to middle men. Brimr banks to our doors, nnd the planter whose credit is well known in the neighborhood can go to the bank and be a favored creditor, and borrow money at the same rates at which the New York "merchant who borrows money at a bank there pavs for it. Now, not only is the inter? est which our people arc paying for the usc of this capital going out ot this State, but these commissions are going out to other people; and in this wav so long ns this large excess ot" bonking circulation exists lu certain quarters ol'the United States, and there are no banking facilities in other quarters, just so lontr will all thc rest ol' the United States pay tribute to those parts of the country where this banking circulation is centered. A I.ITTJ.K PLAIN TALK. I have no disposition In any way or form to say a word of reproach to New England. I have every disposition, every desire to say everything that is praiseworthy et her. But I do not like to be taunted herc with thc fact that the State which I represent and th ! States which other senators on this floor represent worein rebellion at the time this banking capital was given out, when thc facts arc otherwise. Thc facts are that up to the time of the close of the rebellion lhere had not been much over one third of the banktug circulation distributed. The law required that one-half of it, $150,000, 000, should be distributed according to pop? ulation. The first $150,000,000, which was to be distributed according to population, should have beeu reserved arid not distributed at all, and then the South would have had not only much more than sh?' has. but probably very nearly what she needs. But it must not be torgottcn that there is a much larger demand for money in a sparsely setttled aiul agricultural population than there is ia the same population in a closely settled commercial and manufacturing district. As has been remarked by the senator trom New Hampshire, the greater portion of the transac? tions which are carried on in Stales like the New England States, for instance, are carried on by checks. The amount ol' money required, ns was justly observed by him, is only so much as will pay differences-as will clear accounts. But if you want to carry on any commercial transaction in an agricultural section, you have got to do it by sendiuglhe actual money. You tlo not send a ched? on a bank to pay for the cotton-that you buy ol' a planter; you send him the money. Thal makes a much larger amount of currency necessary, in proportion, in those sections than in closely settled districts where banks arc plenty. WHAT WK ti.A Vii LOST. Let it not be forgotten that these very Stales which I named when ] was speaking before, Virginia, Hie two Carolinas, Ueorgia and Ala? bama, Imd, under the old system of bank cir? culation, rr.C r>.?!c lunik system, twenty-two per cent, ot the whole C?XH&UtNl of the coun? try. Now they have two per c7::S vf t e whole circulation of the country, one eleventh ns much as they then had; while the three States of Blinde Island, Con? necticut and Massachusetts had theil sixteen and two-thirds per cent., and now have thirty percent. In other words, l hose States have now nearly twice as much ns they then had; while the ronner States named have but one eleventh of what they then had. Consequent? ly, compared willi their former position, they are now as one to where they were twenty two then; and this in face of. the fact Hint those States, from the condition of things, de? mand a larger circulation now than they did i hen. I do not wish to take ona dollar oftlu1 cir? culation from the New England States unless it be necessary; but. I protest against anybody maying that it isut:jt:st thai i: should Le 'taken [rom them. It hm; liven asserted constantly Dil the floor of Hie Se?alo that it is a great Injustice to require them to disgorge any (inti if this circulation which ii. lins been demon? strated was obtained through certainly an erroneous, if not a corrupt administration ol' : lie law. But it does seem to me'f lt ls so profitable a privilege to carry og lip! business if batiking tinier the national bank act in New England, ono d' thu moa! patriotic things-to zo back to the consideration of patriotic mo? tives-which fha represeulalivca from thal section of the country can tlo ls to give ir,) a lortion of Lliis privilege lo that section of the country where there i.s an absolute destitution, io give np some small part of what is a won Irons pletliont ot circulation to a section ol'I he :otintry where there is none ul all co:iip.ira ively.

JanSS iv.uth2niosn4c Drugs, (?ljcimculs, #c A YER'S CATHARTIC PILLS, FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE MEDICINE. Tcrhaps no one medi? cine ls so universally re? quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so uni? versally adopted into usc, in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious reason ls, thai lt is a more reliable and Tar more effectual rem edy than any other. Those, who have tried lr, know that it cured them: those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what, it docs niue lt does always-that it never fain* through any fault or neglect of lt? composition. We have thousands upon thousands pf thc certitl cates of their remarkable cures Of the following complaints, hut such cures ure known in every ncightjorliood.*tond we need not publish I bein. Adapted tn all ages and conditions in all climates: containing neither calomel or tiny deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ever fri sh and makes them pleasant to take, while being purely vogi table no Itara can arise from their nie in any quautlty. Thev operate bv their powerful Inilncnce on the internal viscera to purify thc Mond and stimulate it into henil hy action-remove the obstructions ol tho stomach." bowels, liver, ami lither organs ol the body, ivstortagtlielrirrogiilarni-tloii to health, ami Ly* eorrectnig, wherever they exist, suco derangements as arc thc Hist origin : i disease. Minnie directions are given in Hie wigpner.on thc IMIN. for I he following complaints. w!.ica thest Pu i.s rapidly cure: Fur Dvsi'iii-siA or INDIGESTION. LISTLESSNESS LAM.TOK and Loss of APPETITE, they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore its liva I thy tone and action. For LlVKK COMPLAINT and its various symp? toms, Clunes HEADACHE, SICK HEADACHE, JAUS DICE or BUKEN SICKNESS, Bloors corio and BILIOUS FEVERS, Ihey should bc judiciously taken for eacli case, lo correct the diseased action or remove thc obstructions which cause it. For DVSENTKUT or DIARRHOEA, but one mild dose is generally required. For RHEUMATISM, OOIT, GRAVEL, PALPITATION OK THE HEART, PAIN IN TUE SIDE, HACK and LUNGS, they .should be continuously laken. as re? quired, to chntijre thc diseased action of the sys? tem. With such change those complaiuts u.'* appear. For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS they should be taken in larire and frequent doses io produce the eifcct of a drastic purge. For SuppitESSioN a large dose should be taken os lt produces thc desired eifcct by sympathy. As a DINNER PILL, take one or two PILLS topro niotc digesti?n and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose humiliates thc stomach ana bowels into healthy action, restores thc- appetite, ami Invigorates thc system. Hence ii is often ad? vantageous where no'serious derangement exists. One ulm feels tolerably weil, often Buds that a dose of I hese Pi?.8 makes him feel ilecidedly bet? ter, from Mu ir cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus, DIL J. C.
