Thc Cholera. By river and fountain, "liv desert and plain, Over valley and mountain, I am coming again To execute judgment-an angel of wrath, With terror and anguish and death in thc path. In the East I began, Ocr thc dark jungles sweeping; In tho old Hindoostan There was wailing and weeping. From thc plague-smitten city, e'en l'arians flee, And (lunga, corpse-burthencd, rolls ou to thc sea. On tho flower-scented gale Is tho taint of my breath, And Persian wives wail, For the angel of death In the land of the rose his cold shadow hath cast, And blighted the hopes of their hearts as he passed. Then Siberian snows In my passage I crossed, And the death-wail arose In the regions of frost; For the ice monarch's mantle was there no defence, Gainst the lifo quelling touch of the dire pestilence. By the sign of salvation I paused for a time; From each Christian nation Roso voices of crime; Tho' the symbol was thcro, thc snbstanco was gone; To tho harvest of death, I went speedily on. Then Russia-the cold In my pathway I swept, And in Moskwa the old j.he grey-bearded have wept, Who saw, without tears, their brave palaces Aroa For him whose commission at Moscow ex? pired. And onward advancing, Like a strong man from wine, Where the sun-browned arc dancing In the land of the vine, With the step of a giant, death's wine? press I tread, before mc the living-behind mc the dead. Weep, maids of Vienna! Howl, Paris and Rome! Tho gates of Gehenna Are opening for doom; Thc plague-cart shall wait by your man? sions of prido, Thc rich ann the poor to the dark house shall ride. At last I shall sail, For tho star bannered West, And my barque shall not fail O'er tho ocean's broad breast To land mc-long dreaded-though ship? mates shall sleep Where o'er the sea-buried the mermaidens weep. Facts and Freaks of Currency. Many things have been used tit diff?rent times as money-cowrie shells in Africa; wampum by the American Indians; cattle by ancient Greece. The Carthaginians used leather as money, probably bearing some mark or stamp. Frederick IT., at the sejge of afil? an, issued stamped leather as money. In 15G0, John the Good, King of France, who was taken prisoner by Hie celebrated Black Prince, niio* ^ent to England until ransomed, ob is? sued leather money, having a .iver nail in the centre. Salt is tho common money in Abys? sinia; codfish in Iceland and New? foundland. ''Living money," slaves and oxen, passed current with Anglo Saxons, in payment of debts. ?.dam Smith says that in his day there was a village in Scotland where it was not uncommon for workmen to carry nails instead of money to the baker's shop and the ale house. Marco Polo found, in China, money made of tho bark of the mulberry tree, bearing the stamp of the sove? reign, whiih it was death to counter? feit. . Tobacco was generally used as money in Virginia up to 1660, fifty seven years' after the foundation of that colony. In 1641, the Legislature of Massa? chusetts enacted that wheat should 1 ie received in payments of all debts. The convention of France, during the revolution, on the proposition of Jean-lion Saint Andree, long discuss? ed the propriety of adopting wheat as money, as the measure of value of all tilings. But the metals best adapted and most generally used as coin, are cop" per, nickel, silver and gold; flu? " first two being now used for coins of small value, to make change; the two latter, commonly designated "thc precious metals," are used as mea? sures of value und legal tenders. jQu the continent of Europe, a com? position of silver and copper, called bullion, has long been used for small coins, which ari made current at a much higher value than the metal tliey contain. In China, Syce silver is the principal currency, and is merely ingot silver of a uniform fine? ness, paid and received by weight. Spanish dollars also circulate there, but only after they have been assayed and stamped as a proof that.they are of the standard fineness. As Asia Minor produced gold, its earliest coinage was that metal. Italy and Sicily possessing copper, bronze was first coined there. Herodotus says the Lydians were the first people known to have coined gold and silver. They had gold coin at the close of tho ninth century B. C.; Greece proper only at the closo of the eighth century B. C. Servias Tullius, King of Rome,, made the pound weight of copper current money. The Romans first coined giver 281 B. C., and gold 207 B. C. 1 Koran on Monto/. Some congregations are in need of preachers; more preachers in need of congregations. A UKI;KT, GENEBAIJ TURNED POET. General M. Jeff. Thompson, formerly of Missouri, and now located in New Orleans as a commission merchant, sent the editor of the Picayune a pre? sent of a bottle of Bourbon whiskey on Christmas day. Accompanying the present were the following lines : NEW OBLEANS, December 25, l???. Dear Picayune, I pray That cn this Christmas day You'll accept this linc bottle of whiskey; For 'tis full of "the. soul" Of "Kentucky of old," And will make you feel "plucky and frisky." . There's no "medicine hero No "bitters" nor "beer;" There's nothing but good honest drinking; And 'twill make you feel good, As all rino whiskey should, And "lighten your heart" up to thinking Of hours that arc past That brought pleasures, that last Through ages of troubles and sorrow; And if on this night You should go to bed "tight," You'll not have the headache to-morrow. M. JEFF. THOMPSON. The editor of a country paper says that he felt called upon to publish father Lewis' sermon on the "Locality of Hell," as it was a question in which nearly all its readers were deeply interested. A Paris Cafe has on its card, among other wines and liquors, the word ' "Cheri-gobler. ' ' Infant School, ARSENAL HILL, corner Richland and Gadsden streets. MRS. T. STARK.

THE ONLY RECOGNIZED DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK, DAILY, SEMI-WEEK? LY AND WEEKLY. TO THE PUBLIC. THE NEW YORK NEWS HAS BATTLED against despotism for four years of blood ?nd terror, in assertion of t?ie sanc? tity of the Constitution. A patriotism sufficiently broad to embrace both sections has been its onlv guido, and it refers HOT with honest pride to its record to show that it nas not turned to tho right or tho left under all the violence of arbitrary power. True to its principles as THE NEWS lias been through the reign of terror, it chal? lenges public confidence in its honesty and independence for tho future. The political transition of the present day opens to THE NEWS a new and wider field of usefulness. Standing now, as it always has, on the inviolability of tho Con? stitution, according to tho interpretation of tho strict constructionists, it presents a rallying ground for all, in both sections, who are friends of a generous conservatism. As a true and tried exponent of sectional amity, it occupies a position which makes it the fitting mediator in holding np to the party of order, in both sections, interests and principles that gave breadth and vi? tality to their alliance. As an intersec t ion al agent, devoted to freedom of elec? tion, to trial by jury, to the sanctity of thc habeas corpus, and opposed now, as for four years of terror it bas been, to tho cen? tralization that dnfes to trample on the rights of States, North or South, THE NEWS places itself as a candidate for sup? port before tho great body of this once free people. The circunistanees of the moment make tho dissemination of the principles of TUE NEWS a duty of individual patriotism. Every man who concurs in its doctrine must, if he entertain a true sonso of free? dom, do so in no spirit of indifference, but rather with tho earnestness of a high trust. Justified, nay bound, in his love of liberty, to do so,tin; proprietor places the canvass he makes here of tho public generally in tho bands of those men who give him the ap? proval of their consciences as his individual agents. Every reader of THE NEWS cannot avoid thc conviction of duty which is hore pointed out as the ground of the request, that he urges its claims for a wider support upon all of his friends and neighbors who give their earnest sympathies to tho cause of "strict construction, intersectional con? ciliation, and all the rights of <ho citizens under the system set up by our fathers of liberty regulated by law. Tho proprietor of THE NEWS calls, therefore, upon good and true Conservatives throughout the country, to discharge, to their convictions of political right at this great crisis in the country's fortunes, the duty of giving to the influence of his paper, daily, semi? weekly or weekly, the wider power for good which it seeks here through tho service of its individual supporters.
