MYSTERY, REASON AND FAITH.

/. is seldom that we meet with passage more truly
eloquent than the following 1t is taken from essay
by the Rev. E. Peabody, Of New Bedford:
Night comes ship at sea, and passenger lin
gers hour after hour alone the deck. The waters
plunge aud weller, and glide away beneath the keel.
Above the sails up the darkness, almost to the
sky, and their shadow falls ash burden the

point where hundred leagues the water lies his

WAR UPON THE CREDIT SYSTEM.

If"sny have doubted that the designs Of the Van
Buren party crush the credit system, destroy
all banks and to return to the exclusive metallic
rency systems Of China, Spain and Russia, countries
overun with tyranny anarchy, let them but look at
the passing evAts of the day and the language Of the
Van Buren, presses in relation the suspension Of spe
Gle payments These designs have been developed
from time to time. Mr. Van Buren, proposed bank
rupt law, but finding that he unable to establish this
odious measure he pitched upon the Federal specie
Sub-reasury calculated efectaly ruin the credit
system. That such will be the effect of the Subtrea-
sury clearly shown in the Albany Argus, which in
1887 declared that the "enemies OF State Banks
and of well regulated credit system called for the
measure.
Recent events in Pennsylvania furnish the democratic
party OF that State fine opportunity Of reducing their

monstrous misgrowth OF pernictous systems let 1t re-
solve to remain free. 1t is dictate of wisdom,
niended by sad experience, to avoid those guilty de-
par,ures from first principles which lead inevitably to
bankruptcy and distress.
The New Era INDUCES in this splenetic exultstion
An interesting and important crisis in the history Of
our financial system has now arrived, and one which
we have long waited Tor, az the CLOSING SCENE
IN THE DRAMA OF PAPER CREDIT.
Is it not safer and honorable TO adopt the mode
OF our ancestors transsctlng business and in the
binary affairs Of domestic life to gold and silver
exclusively Notes Of promissory character, mere
evidences of debt, might circulate among the trading
community, bot in the barter and sale Of domestic life,
other than gold and silver currency should be re-
cognized 1...

crush them 1t is opposed to small bills aud the credit

THE FEDERAL SUB, TREASURY.

The advocates OF the federal Sub-treasuy insist with
great that the penalties imposed by the bill

passed, the peculston already prsciised would have

sure consequence Of breach Of faith Do the advocates
Of this scheme urge this argument with any confidence

A MURDER AND AN ESCAPE.


The peaceful neighborhood OF Washington, Taze-

most diabolical acts ever perperated. The pareu-
lars are briefly these, gathered from gentleman
who was on The spot the same day:

purchased in Peoria the Saturday before, went In

that moment young man approached on horseback,

Nothing strange on the voyage befel,
Till they came near the shores where the China folks
