Take it easyi Life, at longest,
But lengthen'd shadow is;
And the brave as well as strongest,
Dare not call 10 morrow hist
Take il easy--for to-day
All your plans of wisdom lay.
Take il easy! Done with fretting;
Meet your neighbor with smile;
From the rising sun to setting.
Live the present all the while.
Take it easy. Every VOW
Make in reference to "nowl"
Take il easy! What is hidden,
Or is wrong,-or seemeth so,-
Leave il, as a thing forbidden,
Out Of which a curse may growl
Take it easyl Never pryl
Into what will cause sigh.
Take it easy! Daily turning
To the monitor within
On its altar, always burning,
Keep the incense free from sin
Take il easy! Never fear
While you keep conscience clear
Take it easy! Ever leaning
To the side of truth and right;
Happiness from virtue Cleaning
Peace of mind from wisdom bright!
Take il easy! For at best,
Life is but sorry jest.

FArrEsiHG Hoas.--It is good policy TO
commence iatiening pretty early, for pork can
be made al less COST in Md weather than IN
winter. All this season the weeds from the
garden and fields viii aid a little, and swee.
apples that have fallen viii do more service in
the heg pen than under the tree, where the
worms that are in them would make their ap-
pearance next spring IN the form Of inse cts.
Hogs are fond OF variety. ard in August
and September they can be graiiiied a, small
cost. Purslane, that now covers the ground
in many gardens is greedily deyoured by hogs
and who knows bat this weed has as much
power 10 iatten as the tops Of corn have
Charcoal should be thrown occasionally, into
the pen, birthstone should be mixed ii liqaid
food, and little meal improves sour milk and
whey. When the sweet corn is full, the corn
may be cut up at the roots, and the whole
may be cut up ine with an axe. The cob
will be eaten with the corn, and the whole
will prove economical food. Well fed hogs
make better manure than baI led animals.
and now your haying hurry is over. you have
time to add loan that will make the pen smell
sweeter than some kitchens that you pass BY.

INCIDENTS AT MoNTEREY.--We have been
furnished by an officer of the army with some
memoranda in relation to the incidents which
occurred at Monterey, from which we make
the following extracts Nee Orleans Della.
Captain RANDOLPH RIpGELY, who dlstin-
gulshed himself so much in the battles Of Palo
Alto and Resaca de la Palma, was again con
spicuous at Monterey. Having found a u
FOUNDER in one of the forts taken from the
Mexicans, he erected platform for it in the
fort, and turned it upon the enemy with the
most destructive effect. Captain RIDGELY,
after pointing the gun himself, was observed
constantly to mount the platform with a spy
glass and watch the effect of each ball, and
manifest the greatest enthusiasm and delight
when his shot told well among the enemy.
Capt X. is said to have no superior as an ar
tillerist, in the army; and the government
would have been dong not more than he was
entitled TO, had they conferred upon him two
brevets as they did upon Col. DUNCAN, !ol his
conduct in the battles Of the 9Th and 9th of
May. He is the same officer to whom the
citizens of Baltimore have presented a mag
nilicent sword.

The Secretary OF the Treasury has concoc-
ted another scheme 10 raise money, and that is
by opening shops for the sale Of Treasury Notes,
in sums to suit customers who have more than
a thousand dollars. Mr.. WALKER thus an
nouDces in the last Washing ton Union. the
opening Of the treasury note shops, and the
manner in which he intends to conduct the
sales;
"TsEAsuRY DEPARTMENT, Oct. p, 1916.
"This department will issue treasury notes
to the amount Of three Millions OF dollars, bear.
ing an interest Of 5 % per cent. per annum,
payable TO the order OF persons or corporations
making deposits therefor in specie in sums OF
not less than one thousand dollars, with either
the treasurer of the United States. assistant
treasurer at Boston, New York, Charleston.
or st. Louis. or treasurers Of the mint at Phil.
adelphia or New Orleans.
1.-The notes will bear even date with the
date OF deposlte. ''R. J. WALKER,
Secretary Of the Treasury"
And the Union officially explains that the
New York banks have declined to buy the
treasury notes at less than six per emit. but
that several propositions for loans on terms
less than six, and approaching nearer to five
and two-iiiths per cent. have been made by
individuals, and declined by the Secretary, /;
is now, we presume, seeing be could do no
better, determined upon retailing the notes.
and TO fix the interest on them at 5 25 per cent.
As an lnducement for purchasers, it is announ-
ced that the notes, 50 sold Twill be receivable
for all public dues, both in the land office and
custom house, as well before as after maturity,
and must be regarded in the light, for many
uses, OF specie bearing an interest; and at the
rate now proposed, we cannot doubt, (adds
the Union that there will be a large demand
for these notes"
Here we have it at last--a government paper
currency, i,redeemabie IN specie, but receivable
IN paying debts to the government The notes
are to pass from hand to hand-all the restric.
tons which the Secretary heretofore put up
on their transfer and their payment are abol-
ished-the endorsement of the party buying
them being all that is required to change their
ownership.
We cannot say whether the sale Of these
notes will be as large as Mr.. WALKER expects;
but we rather suspect that the peddling them
out IN the manner he proposes, will not give
them character in the market much above
that of other rredeemable shinplasters, and that
the sales will not be quite as active, as that of
''wet goods" saved from some wreck. and an
nounced to "be sold at ruinous prices"
And this is the work Of the Sub Treasury,
hard money, paper-hatng administration -
When Mr. Polk came into Office we were
promised that we should have nothing but spe-
Gle. We get nothing bu,rags-not bank rags,
'redeemable in CONDUIT shlnplasters, intended
for circulation, and of character similar to
those issued by individuals in the times Of the
VAN buren, experiments on the currency,
which were receivable in the payment for
goods purchased at the shop Of the undersign.

THE TARIFF OF 1916.

Events continue to show what poor pro-
phets, the opponents of the present revenue
bill have proved themselves to be. The
tariff members predicted ruin in every va
Of form. The home market was said
to be the only n worthy of consideration,
! he foreign market was to have no other
effect than to run us in debt abroad
to destroy our manufactories-to flood the
country with foreign goods, which would
not be paid for by our own productions, and
only by the export ofour specie-thus dis.
tressing the banks, their customers, and the
community at large Thus RUIN stared us
in the face in all directions, and the only
remedy was, as Mr. Webster saidto be re-
pedt-or, as Mr.. Clay expressed it, the RES
roRArIoN of the tariff ofIS42.
The whole course of events since the
passage ofthe act of 1916 has falsified these
sage predictions. We repeat, factories are
not suspended; but new ones are rising
Even coal in Richmond is saidto be advanc-
ing in price. The iron works in Pennsyl-
vania arc doing a handsome and profitable
business. The cotton factories are multi
plying in number, and the only difficulty
they will incur, because calculated to raise
the price of their goods and perhaps to re-
.duce the profits Of the manufactures, is the
advance in the price Of the raw material,
the cotton crop being cut short. The for
'eign market is proving Of inestimabIe i'm
portance to our farmers. Breadstuffs have
risen, and are flowing into foreign markets.
Very little specie has been exported, and
there is a prospect of the tide turning de-
cidedly in our favor; because the value Of
exports is so much greater than that of
our imports, as to leave the balance oftrade
in our favor.-[Union.
