She transiated the Homily of St. Gregory, and published a Saxon grammar. From the Queen Caroline, she bad a trifling pension, which ceased upon her Majesty's death; but she was suatched from poverty by being taken into the family of the Duchess of Portiand. She died in 1756.

Eronina was a Roman female, who has not unaptly been denominated the heroine of conju gal affection. Julius Sabinus, ber husband, having been defeated in his revolt against Vespasian, spread a 1eport of his own death and took shelter in a subterranean vault, where he lived concenled with Eponins during mime years. At last the seoret was discovered, and Sabinus was led before the Emperor. His friends interested themsclves warmly in his cause, and Eponina endeavored to raise the emperor's pity by showing him the twins whom she had brought forth in their underground dwelling, bmt to the everlasting shame of the emperor, otherwise so ronowned, she implored his clemency in vain; the moble-minded Eponins then refused to survive, and perished devotedly with her husband, A.D. 78.

COIN AS A BASIS FOR SECURITIES.

In our last, we considered coin in its general phases as a circulating medrum for business enterprises and essayed to show that it answers a very poor purpose indeed in that capacity, and that an extensive business would soon come to an end if there was mothirg better adaptod to its wants and purposes. Our experience for the past eaght years shows that for our mmmense internal exchanges, six thousand times as great as our external, not s dollar of it is needed.

The advoostes of coin think it indispensible for securities In thew language, it the onls sound." ssafe.legitimste, customary, and “uniform" medium known. which can make currency and drbts secure. It is their pansoes for all fimancinl evils, and without it all is shaky and upcertain. So many are joinmg in ths claquer that it would seem as f our country wes suffering grevousty and their nostrums alone could save it from utter ruin

No people were ever troubled with such short memones. Ten years ago we enjoyed specie payments. Every few years we had panios and convuimons Banks were constanily breaking. Busie men were pouring over their Wekly Bark Note Reporis Echnge o cers with their windows plscarded. uncurrent money bought here, multplied ike the plagues of Bgypt No man dre take ban i 50 from home without inquiriug about it and al expeted to tand discount i they ped et to New York or eisewhers. Banks thus organined siways coliapsed e bubble. he t crisis came.Our couniry o ad ly o year of the rebellion—merely gotting rendy for when the ban ved i, wh in earmest came, we had to fall back upon the real

basds ofwealth. the gemuine seouritios of country and dispense with its ooms ad h Com securities soon dissppenred snd in ho piace came a reality that survived the sbock of the reion nd oarried trp y afely tron the ri m history

The government for the frst ime t onit moe. took charge of the peopis pocet beoame their protector. This geve the meeded lisble than any we had ever previously enjoyed. To ask us to return to specie payments agnin. is to take awsy the protection of our government and return us mto the hands of thounds of irre sponsible and uncontrolable agents, whos promises to pay siways have proved Selusive when put to s serions test. The trouble is and slways has been that ooim wo insecure in other peopie's bands to command universsl confdence.If secuties are known to be good and sefe beyond contingency nobody wants com. 1t becomes reslly ucio gent But if eonfidence is weasened, people become sisrmed and make s rush for thew coin. This produces apame which, becoming wide-spresd, ends in convuirion and disaster.

All Uns is meede. our expeemoe for t post eght years shows. There 1 reslly po meed for pamion and convulsions, and with onr preseut system of securities, they osn never ocur again. The government has shorn our bears and bulls of ther teeth. clsws and borns They, maddened to fury for the loss of their power. are reslly the only partes making the bue snd ory for a veturn to specie payments aguin. They want the pwvilege of returming to their arens ageim, when they can tenr and gore the people again as in days of yore.

1 think their demands are impodent and unp ardonable, and rt they may wot be gr fiod. The people want s systom whioh for eight years has proved not only safe, but bas canned us to prosper beyond sanything ever knows in even our own glorions career. to be contiued. No one can for s moment imagine if we had resu med specie payment. when the wa ended, that our country would mow abibit the prosperous condition everywhere to be aon trade and commeree extem. e tiplied, farms and ctes improved more aply an ver before kmown. This, to. o e of a mighty rebelion which would have wo wterly prostrated any other maon f ot ore it totally) thet a generntion at lonst of ropoe would have been required to onsble it to ve resume its former vigor
