POLITICAL ECONOMY-A WORD IN BE-
a.ss HALF OF LABOR

To the Editors tie american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: No community ever counte-
nanced a violation Of law that did not, sooner
or later, realize punishment. While sense
less opposition was at one time very generally
made against the issue of paper currency by
the Corporation, receivable in payment of taxes
due the city, on the double ground of suspected
abuse and belief that the indirect credit obtained
in the way of circulation might injuriously af-
feet the credit of the Corporation itself, we find
that very many, to subserve their own pecunary
views, countenanced the issue by individuals,
and now we have not only individual notes, but
those Of other corporations, taking the place of
our own and the superabundance of currency
is stimulating prices, without perceptbly aiding
labor, that is ever the victim of these schemes
And then the readiness with which these in
fractions of laws are excused! There was
scarcity of money" which means, that GER
tain set could no longer borrow of old lenders,
but sought out new ones at an apparant lower
rate; but the character of the redemption ex-
poses the tax on the community. The effect is
to cause premium to be given for another kind
of money; and when change itself becomes
scarce, ii must be bought at a premium, and the
dealer himself loses for the infraction of law.
One of the most eminent of British statesmen
declared that the e1 note would drive the guinea
out of circulation, and the reason is very
plain one. Where there are two kinds Of cur
rency, the inferior will be kept moving, while
the better will be boarded.
Our risibles were taxed the other day when
one of the manufacturers or circulators of some
paper trash suggested, that SO soon as quarters
and halves made their appearance the notes
would 60 out of circulation! And thus it al
ways is with ng-doers; there is always ready
some justification. One of that ilk would look
like another soothsayer of the earlier days of
Greece, and gravely say those notes would be
very convenient; :" doubtless they would, for
they would, in effect, augment the "pile" Of
metal-the real money-and shaving could be
further extended But the community must
suffer for oil these schemes. These issues do
not augment the amount of labor, nor do they
represent property-the result of labor. All
these devices, ever and above the reputable cir
culation of the banks, are, emphaticaly, per-
nicious, and should ever be sternly discounte-
nanced, and the advocates ever be well watched.

THE TREE THAT NEVER FADES. =" Mary"
said George, next summer will not have a
garden. Our pretty tree is dying, and won't
love another tree as long as l live. l viii have
bird next summer, and that will stay all

"George, don't you remember my beautiful
canary bird 1t died in the middle of summer,
and we planted bright flowers in the ground
where we buried it. My bird did not live so
long as the tree" ..
"Well, don't see that we can love anything.
Little brother died before the bird, and loved
him better than any bird, or tree, or flower.
Oh, wish that we could have something to
love that wouldn't die"
George, let us go into the house. / don't
want to look at our tree any longer"
The day passed During the school hours,
George and Mary had almost forgotten that
their tree was dying; but at evening, as they
drew their chairs to the table where their
mother was sitting, and began to arrange the
seeds they had been from day to day gather
ing, the remembrance of their tree came upon
them
"Mother," said Mary, "you may give those
seeds to cousin John l never want another
garden"

in which he had carefully folded them towards
his mother, "you may give them all away. If

"Yes, George, | have read Of garden where

"APRIL FOOLp

Who smileth not when April comes,
And all the boys are out,
With spring-time faces, fresh and fair,
With laugh, and leap, and shouts
Remembering Aprils long ago,
Who smileth not again,
Feeling his heart grow young and glad
In the midst of the joyous train2
Aud even the old, old man can now
Scarce keep his trembling voice;
For thronging thoughts of youthful days
Eyermore cry, " Rejoice p

He would laugh " Hal hap and run;
OF all the careless, romping crowd,
The loudest, widest one!
But think thee, sir Thy locks are white,
Thine eyes are sunken now;
So pale, and thin, and very old
What with these wouldst Mouf

And tears are in his eyes,

THE FIVE LoAVEs.

o. An honest industrious peasant in Picardy,
being observed to purchase weekly five loaves,
was asked what occasion he could possibly have
for so much bread. One, replied the honest
fellow, : / take myself one throw away, one /
return, and the other two lend. How do
you make that out p why returned the
peasant, the one which take for myself is for
my own use; the second, which throw away,
is for my mother-in-law; the loaf return is
for my father; and the other two, which lend,
are those with which | keep my two chill
dren, in hopes that they will one day return
them to me. ''-Erchange paper.
Let US see how honest this "honest fellow"
is. He takes one for himself; that is fair He
throws away one on his mother-in-law would he
have called it thrown away when asking for her
daughter? He returns one to his father: he
never can return what he owes his father, any
more than Adam could have returned what he
received from his Creator; for the obligation
has been perpetuated. He lends two to his
children: he does no such thing; for it is to
them he must pay the debt contracted with his
father 1t is wrong to allege that our children
are our debtors, and the hope that they will
return to us the gifts we bestow upon them is
an unworthy hope. The consciousness Of
load Of debt, for which we may be importuned,
is most oppressive burden to youth just en-
tering his career in life and he is selfish and
cruel or very much misled parent, who will
demand of his children aught but their love,
for what he bestows upon them. To behold
them, in turn, comforting his rich gifts upon
their children, is the delight Of every good man.
