(was there a cocrt satire on human vauity in this?) and then came back to hi wife. Let this," he said, " be a reminder to us both, if anf moment we forget that we are nt atone in the world, and let us so keep the watch of New Year week that it may be an earnest ol our future lives! The humble New Year dinner was eaten that day with a zest that had never belonged to costlier banrtuests in other days, fur it was seasoned with the remembrace that sympathy, consideration, kindness, stood guardians at the table. The Watch of New Year Week had man? crosses and some difficulties. Alice felt at times the same listless indifference when her husband spoke, and more than onre fora moment repelled his ardent natute, as she had done in former Tears; and John Deforest found the temptation to harshness, overbear- ins, and want ot consideration for the weak nesses and dificiencies of his wife, a beset tins one. But the temptation to absent him sell was gone. By a strange and almost magic transformation hi home had brcome the happiest spot on eaih. And for both, the little talisman on the looking-glass was -pre served, and effectual, for a lunger time than that of the appointed trial. John Deforest and Alice are master and mistress, this New Year time, of one of the pleasantest mansions in our city. They have no longer the pressure of want around (them. Together they won, where alone failure tuot have ensued, and dearer than all to them is the consciousness that they, no longer since that New Year's morning live for themselves alone in solitude, isolation, hard ness of heart and suffering; but each for the other, and so for humanity and the world. SPECULATION VS. INDUSTRY. The word speculator, in modern parlance, ha taken the place of the more definite old designation of projector, as applied to per sons who trade upon probabilities, as a capi tal, and who shrewdly make bare possibili ties, aad sometimes even the sheerest unpus .lbiiitie.. sppear plausible a. coming events. Sir Timothy Dexter, a Yankee projector, with more good lock than brains, speculated upon the possibility that Caban bed needed heating. He sent to Havana a cargo of that convenience denominated wanning pans, now ,, specuiaieu obsolete, by reason or our better heated dwel lings.

Tht failures go into the same silence with those who rest nnder the terse f pitaph, I was well, and would be bet ter; took physic and died." We hear of the fortunate icdividuals who coin into unex pected wealth. But of the unsuccessful no- biKlies nothin is said. So. as the few cures tempt msny to swallow arags, me tew lor tune iudsce thousands into speculation, that is to say, project-weaving. The few thrive, and for that ery reason the many do not. Money that flow into one pocket must flow out of others to Ell the one plethoric purse. Everybody cannot find a market lor warm ing pans in lae tropins, or lor ices at uie North Pole.

There must be merchants and factors ; but without merchandise they cannot have oc cupation. In their uue proportion 10 me whole people tney are inuispensarite I ami their vocation, honorably filled, minister to the wealth of. the community, instead of diminishing it. The merchants of a nation are prominent among its public spirited and patriotic citizens; but when there i an over supply of the dealers in other men's wares, the disproportion cannot eiist without great disadvantage. Are we wrong in supposing that the trading spirit among as is in ad vance of productive industry ? Is it not shown in the undue quantity ol toretgn la brics and commodities which enter into our consumption ? An evil which exists in the modes ot conducting the large operations 01 business, is certain, if examination be made, to be found in petty transactions also' More of everything is held lor speculation in this country, than is wholesome; from tracts and townships of land down to chickens and turkies lor market; and more still would be held, if the notes of the speculators and the poultry i f the hucksters did not mature too fast for the purposes of the monopolists. Extravagances in the style of living, in eating, drinking, dressing, ornaments and necessaries, now deemed so harmless, though our fathers did not thus class them, are at onre the cause and the consequence of this . . . . . e state of things. Luxury prompts hazardous expedients to supply its demands, anu the sucress of speculation furnishes the means, or its want of success compels the necessity of keeping up the show once benuii. It is notorious, that many a huge operator, like the lather of Halleck's Fanny, lias gone out in a grand flash, while laboring t keep up, to the last moment, the show of vast wealth and prosperity. The newspaper chronicle the " splendor of a princely entertainment," in the same issue in which the munificent host limps in the money article, a "lame duck;" or, not improbably, is the subject of a "painful rumor not ceiinaltv credited," which is proved, however, in a day or two, by the passenger list of an outward bound steamer. These evils, we are aware, are not to be repaired by newspaper articles. But there are turns in public sentiment, and return, the ladits say, in sll fashions, good as well as bad. So, who knows that the old ideas of the true means of acquiring wealth and stand ing may not come back? We think we see the indications. Speculation, as the gnut goes out at the toes, work itsett off through the lower strata. When we were young, it was a fashinable thing, at one period, to fail and pay fiftv per cent. A respectable man ipulator of Day & Martin (paste blacking is a modern notion), made an assignment, and returned his depnstnrs one boot each. The fashion went out with Caar Augustus Pom- ; v V X ;T id"""" - -"'""v " . , , r .. . , crnpiiinz out in an odd boot, la-hionabie extravagances are becoming absurd in At tleborough and Birmingham jewelry, and Crinoline is travestied by barrel hoop and faded silk.

Wednesday, January 3S. 1S5T. fjT We tender our thank to 'those' of our ubcri ben who hav come forward and paid up their arrear ages. But many have not made it convenient to call upon us; and a we cannot call upon tbcm, we shall of neoeaeity, have to employ as our agents lbs constables iu the several neighborhoods, to whom we must pay commissions, and we hope our demand will be met with so much promptness that no other ox prone will be incurred. A very little reflection will show to all who are in arrears that the Printer must have money, and especially does he need it at thia season of the year; we hope, therefore, that paymeiils will not be unnecessarily delayed. iv. The Weather. We have had upon us the se vere il spell of weather that has been experienced dur ing our residence in this place, now thirly-eeven years. Tbe weather was moderate onj$aturdy t wn, tha 17th; but the clouds thickened up, and the cold increased to wards night It commenced snowing in the night, and continued all day on Sunday and until in the night; on Mou.luy morning the snow was sixteen inches deep. A north wind blowing, il became intensely cold. On Sunday evening, tbe thermometer, at the northern side of our residence, was down to 5 degree- above aero; on Monday morning at 7 o'clock it was the same. Tues day also was very cold. Wednesday was pleasant; but on Thursday it became cold again, in the evening the thermometer being down to 6 ; and on Friday attorning it was down to 13 btluw xrro, which is the greatest de gree of cold, we think, that has aver been experienced here, at least by any nonliving. The extreme severity of the weather, an unusual in this climile an I eonMqoently so unprovided for, has doubtless caused great sulfjrinj. Three persons, if no more, have been froaea to death in Ihie county. One. a servant belonging to Mr. Gray Barlee, near Chapel Hill; one in the neighborhood of Mount Willing, be longing to Mr. Samuel Thompson, of Alamance ; and one belonging to Mrs. Parish, of this vicinity. The Issl occurred during the snow-storm on Sunday evening ; be was going to bis wife's houe, abut a mile and a half distant, and appears to have gut out of bis way and became bewildered in'an old field, where he peri.lieiL We have heard of another case, on the Railroad near GolJsborough ; and we have heard a report that two wo men and a child perished'with the cold in tbe eastern part of this county, but have heard ne name, and hope it is not true. rrin coneequrn of the severity of the weather, and other causes, no paper was issued from tliis office tail week. On MjuJjv the paer intended for that sue, was found frozen into a solid blcs k ; and the office room not being properly fitted tot such severe weather, the hands found it dilfi -ull to progress with their work; and the editor himself was not, for two weeks, able to occupy bis accustomed place in tb offiw in eonne-quen.-e of diseased ankles. For these causes we hope Ilk fi i 1 11 r. mr'A k. u.1 i t V, il m ...... ,..
