THE TRUE USE OF RICHES. Charles Johnson and Howard Jones were chums at the same sc hool. Johnf on was at that time set down for a lad of a dull, slow spirit and wit ; nd, apparently without feelifjg, felt silently for all who deserved it, and sometimes for those who did not: while Jones with much loud talk of feeling, and a collection of the moat approved maxims of charily at his tongues end, seemed never to possess either. These boy-friends were parted, and became men at last. Charles burst out into a man of genius:i the early morning of his life was appa rently vJull, but its noon gave promise ofi

a glorious after-day; while Howard, ) compliments, ana all tnat.'

it e tnu unv invy were nevtrn taeirss J -. A L . a 1 1 friends such friends as the world understands by that much abused word. Howaid, indeed, throve much more rapidly thai, his friend grew unfortunate. But to keep up the appearance of friendship and humility, when he fell in with him he would not loose his sleeve till he had him at his silver-spread table; and Charles, who was too noble to be envious of another man's happiness or wealth, was there the merriest of the merry, and kept the table in a roar with equal pleasure to. himself and to others. Time, however, was rather 6low in reconciling the riches of the one to the poverty of the other, but did eventually so far succeed, that Jones began to care aboutj half as much for Johnson's neediness as he did himself: and here we come to our story. Howard had employed a skilful roex chacic to repair his chaise; and the business being done, as was his custom, he thought no more about paying than Dives did of Laz mis. The needy creditor had suffered his wealthy debtor to stand in his hooks longer than tne usual time, for he was (as a poor tradesman often is, to the shame of the rich) afraid to ask "so great a man as Mr. Jones" for so paltry a sum. At lei gtti (for Patience herself will sometimes grow impatient.)

the poor man called himself. Mr. Jones Madam, and my compliments, and whatconld not look at his bill then: he had "a ever is usual to be said on these interestparticular hiend with him," (Johnson ing occasions.' Going.) 'But, my dear

Was there,) he might call again next nv'iith. Thr tiuitif le man turned away frin the proud nvin's door with weary foot, for h had journeyed some miles, Tne month pabard awa), and he called again; hut he could not see. him: ("Thomson, his particular friend Thomson was there:") he might call again in a week:!

he called in a w eek; he was not at home: my particular friend, Wilson, who is! (his still more i.arlirular friend, WilsoiJleavine town for his countrv house at

"call again: he did; he was not down: ''call irr 4he city;" hej was out of town: "tall at the Villa; he was in town: in short, let him call when' utr wouin, or wnere ne would, 11 was to Do purpose. Charles s humane heart was shocked at the evident reluctance of Jones lo part with his money; and resolved, when an opportunity offered, to punish his unfeeling friend in some way that &h uld exhibit his covetousness in its true light. In the meantime, (by one of those acci dents in the life of a poor man of letters, which ought to admit him into a hospital as much as a broken leg, and thus, by keeping him in at Bartholomew's keep him out of Bedlam) happening to hav?; ten guineas in his pocket, he privatelypaid the poor mechanic the 5 he so much granted conleuliog himself with thefhope

that when ha had thoroughly shamed his penurious rich friend thoroughly again into feeling he should get repaid. An opportunity soon served for his scheme. Jones had lately had a large estate in the West Indies, bequeathed to him by a rich bachelor uncle, and was in daily expectation of receiving the proceeds. Johnson, by some means, had heard of the arrival of the agent at Liv

erpool, but concealed tha information. in the meantime Jones betrayed such a feverish impatience to finger the expected cash, that, what with plethora and passion, and the megrims into which every day's disappointment threw him, he took to his bed. It was now that Charles determined to effect, if possible, a cure of his rapacious love for money, and to revenge the neglect and wrong he had done to the sick creditor. Accordingly, on the following morning before the city shop-boys had watered the usual rings in the dust of the dogdays, he was at Jones' door, dressed in all the tight importance, and loose nankeen trowsers, of a warm West Indian. The knocker wa3 a3 yet unmufHt;d: he knocked impatiently; and after a reasonable dressing-time, descends an Appearance in a mob-cap, with a dull, death-watching face, and a mouth yawning to the circumferenceof a Dutch oven: it was Mrs. Shufflribottom, the nightlv nurse. ilrs.

'No, Sir,' simpered the flattered femenine, very proud ol the mistake, fc31rs. bhunlebottom, night-nurse, &lc. at your service,' curtseying herself down to about half her atitude. 'Well then, good morning to Mrs. Shufflebottom, at my service? Pray how is Jones this morning? I've just arrived from the West Indies, and the first thing which I hear is, that Jones, my dear generous Jones is ill!' fcYes, ill indeed, Sir, poor dear gentleman: he has had five physicians!' 'Five physicians!' exclaimed Charles, '(hat's very dangerou?, indeed ! He must be a hale, hearty man to survive such an attack! Five physicians! poor man! poor Jones! Good morning, Madam; - 1" a it. a , m m w possible very likely; hut really I raniIiaI uroif I urn nail, l ve my cousin Thomson to call on, and condole with him on the death of his wife's pug-dog poor thing?, they have no children, and such a Io.? is consequently very terrible !' 'Bat he's so anxious to see you,' urged Mrs. S 'Ho! certainly he shall: but f must see Thomson immediately; you'll say my name is Hurricane Hurricane: I am in the greatest possible haste, or I would wait on Mr,-Jones.- Good morning, M -dam! Hurricane you'll remember?' tapping Mrs. S. on the elbow impatiently with a walking cane; and then off he went, leaving the nurse in all womanly wonder at his coolness. Two hours are past, and he has again k locked at Jones' dooiy as if he would knock him down who opened it; and again Mrs. Shufllebottom descends in all the freshness of a laced tucker, jounced apron, morning gownand 'shining morning face.' 'VVell, how's Jones now?' 'The powers of goodness1.' exclaimed she, lifting up her hands and her eyes; I'm as glad as a May-queen that you've come back so 6oon, Sir! Poor Mr. Jones, a soon as he heard that a white gentleman from the West Hinges bad called, leaped out of bed like a lunatic madmae.' 'Just so? Then he is better! I'm very glad to hear it indeed very!

if I did not see him oft? 'Well, but my dear Sir 'Mrs. Shuebottom,, said Charles, with mock earnestness and soJ e trinity -of manner, 'it is impossible. Good morning,"and my compliments as before.' (Gone.) Mis. S. looked all astonishment, and then quietly shutting the door, and then opening it again, to look once more at the author of her wonderment, she shut it and went up stairs to poor Jones, who was more sick with impatience than any other complaint, and told him what a strange gentleman Mr. Harry Cane was.' 'The man must be a brute, to trifle with a dying man!' vociferated Jones, as he pushed his patient uurse out of the room, and half way down the stairs. 'If had ever treated any man so, I should have deserved this T and then he kicked his

rheumatic and venerable valet into the ante-chamber. At eight o'clock Charles returns: the knock, the Mr. S. and the 'Well, howN Jones?' again occur: to which the nurse, who had not yet recovered from the rudeness with which she had been thrust out of the bed room, answered, 'Ah, Sir, poor Mr. Jones is certainly mad, ami will not outlive this day!' 'Exactly so,' replied Charles, coolly playing with hi cane ; 'then I'll call to-morrow ; for I have promised to meet the very best fellow in the world, my friend Jackson. Good

Mrs. Shuttle , (bottom, ) he WGuld have said, but the good nuree ai that moment remembering the push she had had do stairs, or else impatient at the suppose Mr. Hurricane's prevaricating puttings off, shut the door in his face, and went oil in a hull. At nine he returns, and ring?, for be was afraid the lion's head would not answer his inquiries, as it was by this time muffled iu white leather, and looked to tal!) sick and silent ; but the wary Mrs. S. saw through the blinds that it was hei old troubler, and perhaps out of a mo mentary spirit of revenge for the vi lence which had been done to her sacred olfice and more sacred person, refused to open. At ten, mereiore, ne senus a uck et-porter, with instructions to ring long and loud: this succeeds, and down de scends the surley nurse, looking as if she could w ring his nose as long as he had rang the bell. 'Ho a gentleman wants t know whether Mr. Jones could see Mr. Hurricane gome time next week?' Jones heard this message and losing the little patience he ever possessed, bawl ed out, 'tell the rascal to come here im mediately, or Til have him arrested for emhezzlement, and teach him what it is to rifle with a dying man!' The porter departs growling, and at 12 another comes to say, that 'the vemmnii would wait on him to-morrow, as -soon fis he had seen Mr. Sirmon, his tailor.' At one, a third inquires how Mr. Jones was at twelve; at two, the same porter comes to know how he was at one; ;mi at three Johnson himself re-appears, a i it! ringing louder than before, Jones is heard in the distauce swearing like a catpurse. 'Tell the b-irbarous Baibadoes rascal to come up Mairs, or I'll snd the contents of a blunderbuss after his heeUT were (he l ist words ot Jones, as hi man opened the door, with an 'Ah, how do ye do, Mr. Johnson?7 'How's Jnes now!' asked Charles, wiih a negro-bullying, West India sort of voice, that eemed to be halt choked with raw rum, raw sugar, aod suffocating cigars. A this critical junctuie, Mrs. Shuflleboftom ippeared from a side parlour, and Jones at the stairhead, in his bed gown and vel vet cap. 1 his was an unexpected denvnetnent. Charles was now compelled to enter in; and being asked his motive for ?uch an unseasonable frolic, and having expJamed, 'that it was to teach him, whn

THOSE indebted to me for taxes, fees, notes, and accounts, are specially requested to call and pay the same on or before the 1st dav of December 1828, as no longer indulgence will be given. I have called time and again, by advertisement and otherwise, to little effect ; but now the time has come when my situation requires immediate payment from all indebted to me. It is impossible for me to pay oil" the amount of the duplicates ol taxes and my other debts, without recovering the same of those from whom it is due. I am at a loss to know the reason why those charged with taxes neglect to pay; from the negligence of many it would seem that they think the money is mine, or that 1 have funds todiscarge the taxes due the state, and that I can wait with them until it suits their convenience to pay. The money is not mine; neither have I the funds to settle the amount of the duplicate. My only resort is to collect; in doing so, I should be sorry to have to resort to the authority given mo by law for the recovery of the same. It should be the first object of every good citizen to pay his taxes, for it is in (hat way government is supported. Why are taxes assessed unless they are collected Depend upon it I shall proceed to collect agreeably to law so govern yourselves accordingly.
