'You seem to look rather serious after vour sylvan excursion, Charles;" said Frederick Middlelon to his friend Charles Wcs tern, who had been for several days previous exploring a tract of wild land in the State of Ohio. "I fear tint Cupid has been aiming soino of his darts nt your heart, though I cannot conceive who the fair one can be, unless Solitude herself has charmed you; for I understand there is no settlement there for several miles." "You nro rifht fur once, Frederick," said Western; 'fain really up to the eyes in love; and if you will listen patiently, you shall hear as humble a confession 8s a penitent nun ever nindo of her air.s. You knuw 1 started tin Monday to view a tract of land for a Irioud in New York. I accordingly rode to the ia.t bottluwenl; and lindijii; it imprnclicn-hlu to.rid farther, left my horse, and pursued my way on foot to the place of my des bnation. It was at tho southern extremity of an immenso forest, which, as I was informed, liad hitherto been penetrated only by hunters. Alter making tho uece.ua-ry discoveries, I was about returning, when 1 found that I knew nothing of tho road by which I come; and ns the sky was overcast with clouds, and I had forgotten my compass, I was left to steer according to my best judgment, which, by the by, proved rather poor in the woods. I wandered on for soino time, trying to persuado myself that I was going right; but my weariness assured me that I had at least taken a long road. I at length concluded that I should pond the evening with solitude, where there would bo none to overhear our interesting tele a trie, when tho sound of a distant cow bell fell upon my ear, and tilled, my heart witli no unpleasant sensation; for it led me to suppose that I was near some settlement. I fullowed the sound till I reached tho spot where two cows wcro feeding ; and while I stood pondering upun what courso to take, I perceived a dog bounding towards me. lie either did not notice mo, or was too mannerly to (507.0 at a stranger, but made for the cows and loudly ordered them to march. They appeared to be well trained; for they obeyed their commander with tho readiness of soldiers, while I brought up tho roar: and under tho command of Con. CnlT we all arrived sul'ely at head quarters. This was an o-pening in the woods, in tho midst of which tood a log cabin, and several small onclo lures for domestic animals. Thcro was an air of neatness about tho exterior of this rustic dwolling, which is seldom seen. I knocked at tho door, expecting to hear from within tho usual welcome, when it wis oponed by a fine looking woman, op parcntly not far from forty, who politely invited me to enter. At tho opposito side of tho apartment sat a young lady about ixioen vcars of aie. Her dress was plain and simple, but extremely neat; and hor dark auburn tresses wore arranjrcu, m me ...i.i tasteful in inner around her snowy forehead. Her countenance was pale, but not sickly; and her features, though not striking in themselves, were rendered truly ;ninrotino-bv their sweet expression. Ho st, her stood a rosy littles cherub, the very picturo of health and innocence, in tho act of reciting lesson. Two lovely little boys, ikn n four and the other a year and a halt old, wero playing beside her on tho lloor. a i m rntrance. she raised her lino dark tiycs, and perceiving a stranger, was about layinc aside her book; but I begged her not to be interrupted. Tho little l.ucie, though apparently not moro than six years old, was to my great surpriso reciting in Latin. After reciting, tho was dismissed; and Anson, an arch looking little rogue, was called. Ho immediately loft his play, and camo laughing to his book. He performed hi. mk in nn admirable manner, and had no sooner laid aside his book than it was assumed with h air of importance, by lit. tin Kdward, who, though ho could scarcely articulate a word, as his sister called tho names of tho letters, responded in as audi-bio a voice as an admiral. Alter their lessons were ended, 1 inquired if the gentleman of tho house was at heme. Ho is not, replied tho elder lady; but I expect him soon. I asked how far it was to tho next settlement It is too far, said she, for you to think of going this evening; and .1 you will accept our homely fare, you snail bo ..i.iv Ynu mav bo sure. I needed ni urging after so lengthy a walk; snd after thanking her for hor hospitality, I ossured her that I should esteem it a great favor. Isabella, for that was tho young lady's namo, after hearing the lessons of tho little ones, busied herself ahout tho BlT.ii.a ofthe house- white Lucio and Anson seated them selves' in tho comer, each nno taking a small piece of board neatly planed, and so- 1 a aI i rt if n it nil from the hearth, with winch :.

Their drawing, though now rude and unskillful, may yet provo useful by cultivating a tasto for that art. Bu(, should they not prove advantageous in this way, they ore of great benefit now, lor they furnish them with innocent amusement; and as children aro never idle, great care should bo taken to render even their pastimes harmless and instructing.' The appearance of the children plainly showed that she understood tho practice as well as the theory; and for once, I was really an admirer of children. They now began to express parent anxiety about their father, and wonder why ho did not come with Julia. 'It is now so late, and the path is ."O bad, they will not come beforo to-J morrow, ' said iheir mother, 'lint, shan't I sec Julia till ln-inorrow?' said Lucie. 'No my dear,' fuid her mother. Her countenance fell, and the little ones all retired ap parently disappointed; wnen my nosiesyii, informed mo t tint her husband had env to llio Lake after their eldest daughter, Vho was unable to como with them. 'Her absence,' snid she, 'has rendered li-aboila rather Innelv, though she Ins nindo pn complaint.' I nikvd how lon.-r they had lived in this retirement. 'About a yenr,' was the reply. Turning to Isabella, inquired hmv alio had rendered horsell contented with so few sources of amusement? 'Don't say i so few,' said she; 'I lind enough even here, to nmiise myself, without repining for more; and I even love my seclusion. For me the lorest possesses moro charms man a crowded city; and in its deepening shades I find daily some new source of admiration. In spring, nothing can equal the beau'y which the surrounding scenery display-'.

In the two succeeding: seasons, 1 gather tho wild Iruits in winch the forest abounds; and at the close of autumn the golden loliage of tho trees, and continual falling of tiie leaves, teach me to look nt the decay of nature in its various forms. These trees seem to present a strong resemblance to man. The tender leavos ol spring, like youth, oro far more beautiful than tho more mature verdure of summer; and tho dry leaves of nutuinii, though apparently useless, still retain an appearance of grandeur, like age, which they retain oven in their declension to tho earth. In winter, wo aro frequently entertained with the artless tales of tho hunters, who encamp near, so that we aro never ot a loss for a- musement. I often think thoso lines of Thompson peculiarly applicable here.'

To llio llonoratilc ihe Scnai of llio Plate of Ohio: Tho undersigned, in conformity with the Resolution of your honorable body, passed February lllh, 1"H:I, requesting a communication to tho 'Jennral Assembly in relation to certain Ihuks and deposits, ifcc, begs lcavo to submit tho following statement:1st. In nnswer to tho first series of inquiries, ns to what amount of money belonging to the State, is deposited in tho Franklin Hunk of Columbus at llio present time; what amount has been donosited in any nno time and the greitest amount during any one month liir tho year Wi, and thence up to this time, and the least amount at nny lime during any period aforesaid; anil if nny money m been deposited, the reasons that have induced the Treasurer to make such deposits the undersigned respectfully states, That, deposits in tho Franliiin Hank of Columbus Imvo nrisen from tho following circumstances: 1 lint a largo amount ol checks, drafts, certificate.-! of deposits, fee,,' payable in different parts of this Ktato and in 'other States, aro presented ot tin Treasury in payment of taxes, c; and it is necessary ihat they should bo negotiated by sumo 'Bank, or be rejected. Tho latter alternative has no', been adopted, as it would oporato to the detriment and inconvenience of individuals who reside at a distance. Drafts are nhm drawn in favor of the Treasury by tho Auditor nf Stat for tho :i per cent, fund, nnd upon banks, insurance, hrid 'o c.intninics, &c, which it becomes i necessary to trnnslor. in order to rentier the,, conveniently available.

The iucon-venienco on the one hand of paying taxes, without droits or certificates of do-posit, and tho dilh'culty on the other, ofthe Treasurer personally devoting his attention to their collection, renders the facilities afforded by tlm Hunk of some importance to non residents and others. The undersigned having all the means of a director for tho examination of the situalion.oftlin li.nik, couli) not bo deceived nsto the question whether, it was a sale institution to negotiaw' Tlie above description of pap-"; and ho did not deem it necessarv r the imfcty-o'f the Stale, that tho n'iey for each draft, check and ccrtilicatoit'dopni.it, siiould bo from day to day, mtrried to tho vault of. tho Treasury. In-lc'd, this would bo impossible, unless a li.i'.k or an individual would advance tho money upon drafts payable at a distance, and u tnui which the money could ;iot be obtained iir some tiuio after the ne gotiation. One fact has not been ovcr- kedjlho vault of the iiank, in conse quence of its mode of construction, is secure from the effects of lire without, and is in other respects tnoro safe and socuro than the Treasury vault.

To tho third series of inquiries, as to llio amount of money belonging to the Sialo at any time during liiu year ii'Si, or X. deposited in tho Lancaster Ohio Ifauk, nnd the reasons why such deposits aro ndvanlaginis to the State, tho under signed respectfully answers: That the Lancaster Hank has been the il'ipository and principal agentof tlm Canal Funds ot' the Stale. The inquiry, it is presumed, is not intended to be applied to the deposits made by the Canal Fund Commissioners.IJy an arrangement with Canal Commissioners, the receivers ol tolls on Ihe Miami Canal, paid over to the agent nf the Lancaster Hank monthly, nt Cincinnati, tho tolls received by them, nnd receipt ofthe ugeul ofthe Hank was forwarded to this office and charged to eajd institution. These omount-cd, in the year 1S!J, to thirty 0110 thousand three hundred nnd seventy five dollais; and in llio year 113, to twclvo thousand live hundred and ninety nine dollars. The Treasurers of Perry nnd Fairfield enunties, in the year ISIS, deposited a portion of the school fund of their respective ...;,.,. 1c, (..lii-.r.- from lli-- as'.c of school lands,) amounting to something upward of four thousand dollars, m the above named Hank. These deposits were not made at tho instance ofthe I rensurer ol State; but inasmuch as tho funds nrising from tolls and said school lands, would, if paid into the Sinili) Trenrury, have been tranelerred in a short lime to tho Lancaster Hank, to meet the fiscal arrangements ofthe Canal Fund Commissioners, the deposits wore obviously advantageous. The above is the only money deposited in tho Lancaster Hank in Isil- and IM, which belonged to the State. 1th. To the fourth scries of inquiries, as to the amount uf money belonging to tho State deposited in any other Hanks in this Stale, and the causes that made such deposits necessary, the undersigned respectfully stiles That sixteen thousand ono hundred nnd eight dollars is deposited in other Hanks of this Slate, to wit: In tho Cleveland Hank, $ dOl (It) do Hank nf Canton, 0.317 Hit do Western deserve, lM H do Znnesville, 77H 110 do St. Chtirsville, G ,'i'M HO do Clnllicothe, M 00 Uv reference to an act oft'10 CJoneral As sembly, to regulnto the navigation and col lection ol tolls on tho Canals ol tins Btntc, passed February 2:1, 1:!0, it will be seen that tho Treasurer is authorized to desig nate certain Hanks, in which Collectors of tolls should make their deposits. Hy that aiithoritv. and nt tho requests of tho Col lectors of tolls on tho Canals and National Road, the undersigned designated tho above Hanks as places of deposits aforesaid. The L""islaturo deemed it necessary to afford facilities lor the payment to tho State monthly, nf tlm amount of tho above tolls: in pursuance, theielure, ol this otijeci, anu the law abovo relerreu. to, nanus wore uc' signaled. nth. To the fifth series of inquiries, in re lation to the (ieauga II ink, ivc. tho underpinned respectfully slnto, that no memo. random was kept nt this ollico ofthe amount of hi Is received 11 non particular DanM. nil rinc the month of .lanuary last, tho period appointed fir the several county Treasurers to repair to tins oinco 1 ir tne payment "i mu revenue, then; was received between fifteen and sixteen thousand dollars ofthe paper ofthe (ioaugi Hunk. Although this was an amount greater than that of a majority of tho other Hanks in tho State; yet it could not excite observation. Shortly afterward however reports from various sources reached the undersigned that wero calculated to . nrndiioe doubt ai respected the prudent I 0.111! sale iiritngeiivnl of that institution. These, togi'tli'T with the relosal by some nnd reluctance by others to receive tlm hills fro:,i this oiiiee, and the fact, thai the Hank ofColuiiihus and others in tho neighboring towns, relu-ed to take the paper of this Hank nil deposit, induced the undersigned to decline receiving the paper at ihe Treasury mid to adopt mei-iires fura-.-ertain-. . ...u . :.. .. l.'.i...

The mi-dersigtvd, under lln-so circumstances, pursued the course which he doomed most prudent and tor tho inturest nf tho State. Availing himself of nn opportunity to forward the amount of bills then on hand, being about Urtccn thousand (.Mm, by .llr. Buttles, I (who wns about going to Cleveland on commercial business,) lie sent the bills hy him for redemption. Mr. Iluttleswas requested to ascertain tho true situation ofthe Hank, and demand 110 more from tho institution than he deemed necessary for the security ofthe State, lie was directed, in case he procured n exchango, to receive the kind of funds mentioned in the Ietier of the undersigned, nddressed to the President and Cashier of tho Hank, a copy of which is hereunto annexed, marked A. Of the amount forwarded, nine thousand three hundred dollars was exchanged, for the paper of tho following Banks, to wit: Cleveland, Western Reserve, Ziuicsvil'), Michigan, and New York. The residue, sniounting to noarsix thousand dollars, was returned; the Hank not having the kind of paper mentioned in tho letter above referred' to. The Hank ofi'erral to redeem the above balance in specie; but Mr! Hultbs (Vd nt .i..m it necessary, or proper, either fer the safely of the State, ur under his instructions from tne, to exact it. It may not be improper to odd, that inasmuch as the kind of paper to be received at this office is lell to the discretion and prudence of tho Treasurer, tiie Legislature would demand of him, the sauic.vigilaucc and cnution, that is exercised ly individuals in determining the course to bo pursued, when the credit of a Rank i doubted hy tho community. Until tho legislature shall take the responsibility of deiignating what bills shall bo received for revenue, they will not require the Treasurer to await without, inquiry or action en his part, the confirmation from a Hank itself of a report, that it is in failing circumstances. In this instance, facts did not just fy the opinion which was prevalent, that the Ccatiga Hank would bo unable to sustuin itself; and in justice to tint institution, permit me to stnto that, within a fow diys pist, there has been received nt this offi:c, through the politeness of its ofheers, an attested stnto mcnt nfits affairs by a committee nf gentle men ot respectability, appointed by the board of directors. This statement, it is believed, is well calculated to remove the doubts that have heretofore existed as to its ability to meet its ongagenieiita, and is hereunto aonexed, marked It. hmcn the return of Mr. Huttles, the bills of this Hank have been received nt this ollcc. Oth. In answer to the sixth inruiry, as to what Hank paper circulating mid issued ny any nam; ol tins Mate, is not receivaute at tho Treasury, on the erou:id the same is of doubtful ability to redeem its paper or otherwise, tho undersigned "tates that the paper ot tho Commercial Hank ol Portsmouth is not received at tin time in the Treasury. It is understood that, its officer have closed tho Dank, and do not nay itH bills at all times when presrntcd. All oil which is respectfully submittid, II. MOWN, Trtmtrer of Stalt.

In consequence of some unfavorable reports recently circulated in this section ofthe State against vour institution, it has caused tho Hanks in this neighbourhood to refuse taking its paper en deposit; consequently it has in some ni'asurc chocked its circulation.

All that pills can edict, in preserving or restoring Health and that is much may be expected, and will bo derived, from tho timely use of these pills. They contain no iniurious or dangerous ndmixturr, nnd nro sufficiently native lo ho relied on in cases which require active cnlhiirlic medicine; yet they arc so mild, in diminished doses, as to be mlmirubly adapted to the complaints of dehente women and children.
