the pudding-, to keep the , bag from
sticking to it and, burning. Let the
the water boil when yqti put the pud

sible sugges'So'ns to young men il
Dear gentlemen, between the g5
of "eighteen and forty-five," listen to
a few words of gratuitous remarks :
When u make a social ' call of' an
evening, bn a young lady, go wapr in
a reasonable hour. Say you come at
8 o'clock, ah hour and a half is . cer
tainly as long as the most fascinating
of you in conversation can, or rather
ought, to desire to use his charm.
Two hours, iMeef tan be very pleas
anHy seiit wlthTihusic, chess or other
games, to lend variety ; but kind sir,
by no means stay logger. A girl that
is a sensible, true-hearted girl will
enjoy it better, and really value jout
acquaintance more. " Just conceive
the agony of a girl who," well-knowing
the feelingS of a falh'er .UW toother
upon a subject, hears the fcfdc& strike
10, and yet must sit . on' the edge of
her chair, in mortal terror lest papa
should put his-oft repeated threat into
execution that of coming down and
inviting the gentleman to breakfast!
And we girls understand it all by ex
perience and know - what it is to
dread the prognostic of displeasure.
In such leases a sigh of relief general
ly accompanies the closing of the
door behind the gallant, and one don't
get overj the feelirg of trouble till safe

Mr. Jone a of Mecklenburg could
see no necessity . Ifor inserting :any

rate of interest. No additional safe
guard cooAd be thrown around! the
publfc money without attaching ad
ditional penalties. And he was op
posed to every restriction upon the
rate of interest as a matter of general
policy and, nerAprinciPle and. no
dotibt Iheae s'ight restrictions thrown
around the money lenders would -be
an injury to the State. The only way
to bring money to the' State, was to
invite money from a distance. Mon
e leaders in New York were dis
tustrdl, and b puttings aiittonal
restriction on this banking business
would be productive of' no good, but
a great amount of harm would be
done. ,y . , ... v Kl,
Mr, Blythe was opposed to giving

should have. It was a well k rio y. !dr
fact thlat these corporations charged
compound intorest. an-1 lie did not
see wliat right .they, had to claim any
more advantages than. those accorded
to the humblest citizen of North Car

Mr. Cook said it is well known
that he opposed the incorporating of
the banks of Mecklenburg and
Greensboro', on what he thought
good and sufficient grounds, j He be
lieved the banks of North Carolina
should be founded on a good and
stable basis and if they meant to in
corporate banks at the belies! tff every
set of individuals who chOdSe to come
up here. We would have auch an
other system of banking as we had
during the war. These banks dtJ tttSl
anthorize the issue of enrrehey; and
even if W8 authorized it, the banks
will not issue it. He thought the
Committee on Banks and Currency
ought to take the matter under ' con
sideration and frame a general bank
ing law. Tha supply of currency did
not depend upon the number of
banks, and if they did not prescribe
for these banks the amount of inter
est and discount, they .would change
it to anything they liked.
