It is true, the English have i i- j their domestic servants; and that they are j t-! remembered in the prayer of the family ; e i and of the sanctuary as servants; but this ! )f< does not take a whit from their respocta- j n j !>;iity, either in the their own estimation, or.' a the eyes of ihe.ir masters. 1 confess, I do ; * ; not quite like the word servant, and I never : it use it, either in speaking to, or of domes- :1 ?i", lies in mv own family; hut then, I see no : d ! harm in it, w here it is customary, especially j1 n ; as this use is so abundantly sanction d in ' ir the Scriptures. r e j The English, compared with our Euro- p s ! pcan nations, are eminently domestic in ! j liicir habits and social enjoyments. They | e i love to ha\e a home of their own, and to 1' It | make it pleasant to themselves and their j; \ ! friends. I speak here of the virtuous and } i- j intelligent classes, and not of the heartless, > i tippling, horse raceing, cock figliiing, and I it j boxing tnul iiudes, who, of course, love 1 their sordid and guilty pleasures better than it* they do their own flesh and blood; and who, gj instead of lighting up the domestic circle): e j with intelligence, and joy arc the burning ; e disgrace, the lingering and loathsome tor- i )- j ment of their famili 'S. The English love | y ; to itave their children abou? them, from lite j prattler of the knee to the full grown man i- and blooming daughter, and they give a 1 >r! freer and fuller play to their alFoctions, i | than we arc accustomed to see, particular- I it i ly in New England. While the children j )-! of ail good families are taught to obey and j ic j reverence their parents, they seem to live j s, j with them on terms of intimacy which con is tributes greatly to the happiness of the i- whole endeared circle, and which is a great I k safeguard, to sons especially, in the most j Is critical period of their minority, by making ' In home the "uearcs', sweetest spot on earth." ! )t* I I was often delighted to hear the scft good i <-! night >r goo 1 nm'fvnggo round th" circle. 3!-> mem ?j> ji.1. ??.- i. u?? ? i . i n i i i and to witness those tender salutations parting and mooting which contribute s mite!) to keep t!ie allbctions warm and gn>! ing between parents and chdwicn.

Expedient.?The scarcity change is complained of every where, and particularly in the large cities. The laws of most, if not all, the States prohibit the em'ssion oi smaller bills than one dollar, and in several, smaller bills than five dolls, are prohibited. To remedy the evil, it has been projfcsed by a Boston paper to the Banks in that city, where bills of one dollar and over are allowed, to emit bills of 81 25, 81 50, dec., by exchanging these for dol dr uji;?, payments or so cents, oo cents, &c. may be made ; and the New Orleans Bulletin, proposes in that city, where bills under 85 are prohibited, to issue bills of 85 25, 85 50, &c. The Editors of the North Carolina Journal )f Fayetteville, seem surprised that the Charleston Banks refuse to redeem their bills with "any thing in the shape of money"? that is, any thing tquivalevl to specie. They seem not to have understood, before, what is meant by suspending specie payments. FOR THE CHERAW GAZETTE. CIIERAW & WACCAMAWRAIL-ROAD CONVENTION.

A New York correspondent of the Charles>n Courier, in a labored article, the design of hich is to shew that the removal of the deosites and derangement of the currency had 0 agency in producing the present commerial embarrassment, introduces the following icce of history, furnished by an acquaintance. "In the great fire I lost about seventy-five lousand dollars: my creditors, to whom I staid my affairs, told me to go on; I showed icin that all my available means would hardly over that loss. They encouraged me to go n, and not only renewed my paper, but thro* leir influence I got a credit in England fcr ny sum within, a hundred thousand pounds; accordingly ordered, at various times with1 the last year, about five hundred thousand ollars of Dry Goods, laid in at such prices liat when sold the gain was at least twpnty er cent.
