DEcIIEK Iw THE vALuk OF MoSEY.-A

DkcIINK TN THE VALUE OF MoNEY.-A
late number ofthe North American Review
contains an article on the increase of the
urecious metals, and the consequent reduc-
tiou in the valuo Of money. We avail our
selves of an abstract in the Cincinnati Gds-
,tts. The writer shows, that from the year
l5Ooto l545 according to Humboldt's ta-
bles,) the supply Of the precious metals OBJ
tanned from America were about $3,000,000
ayear. The supply was largely increased
from 1850 to 1908, the highest rate cstimat-
ed at S35,0OO,O00. About the year 1900,
the annual supply was estimated at $4S,-
$4,000 of which l2,64s,ooo was gold, and
Ss6, ,2s9 900 silver. For the succeeding
years there was but little increase in the sup
ply, and down to the wars in the Spanish
American colonies, according to Jacob, the
aupply from the American mines did not ex-
ceed S2O,OoO,oOOa year. In ls34,McCulloch
states the supply from all the world at $780,
100000. In ls47 this supply was ncreas-
ed by the products Of the Russian mines to
667, 100000. The products of the Califor-
MIA and other mines have swollen the amt
in 1852 TO SITS, 1884, 1000; in gold $lss,s34,-
600 and in silver about $40, 100000 from
allthe world. The supply in ls59is about
six times as large ss it was 30 years since.
No reduction in the supply is anticipated
for number Of years. Should there be Q
reduction in the products OF the California
mines, those Of Australia will, at least, make
good any deficiency.
An important difference appears in th,
present increase and that of former years
1t is this-the present increase is in gold
while that Of former years was nearly all il
silver. Tho difference has already produc
ed great change in the relative value o
gold and silyeT, and 4 still greater change il
looked for. The Review, in consideration
of the matter, thinks il but the exercise o
ordinary caution to assume that "te annua
upply Of tie precious metals nil not fall belop
hundrti millions Of dollars for many years
and that, tn . quarter Of century, the sup.
ply UiH dcPreciatc money to one-ha!f or one.
third its PTesen. value"
The general opinion is that the value o
money 10 reducedin the precise ratio of tn
increase Of the quantity. There can be Ii,
tie doubt that the large increase in the quan
tity of the precious metals, will occasion i'm
portAnt changes in the value Of money, bu
no cause for alarm is seen In that. The or
GRAFTON will be very gradual, and must con
tinue for many years. Adecline in the va
ne of money will increase wages, and tn
price Of agricultural and manufacturing pre-
ducts, as well as real estate. In this ger
eral and gradual change there will be no r,
vulsion to produce general distress.

CARRY THING THRoUGH.-Carry thing
through. That's it, don't do ANYTHING else. If
you once fairly soundly, wide-awakely begin a
thing, let it be carried through, though it cost
your best comfort, time, energies and all that
you can command. We heartily abominate this
turning backward, this wearying and fainting of
soul and purpose. 1t bespeaks imbecility of
mind, want OF character, courage, and true man.
liness.
Carry thing through. Don't begin it till you
are fully prepared for its accomplishment
Think, study, dig, till you know your ground
see your way. This done, launch out with all
your soul, heart, life, and fire, neither turning
right or left. Push on giantly; push as though
you were born for the very work you are about
beginning, as though creation were waiting
through all time for your especial hand and spir-
it. Then you'll do something worthy of your
self and kind.
Carry thing through Don't leap and daily
from one thing to another. No man ever did
any thing in that way. You can't Be strong
minded. BE pluckish, patient, consistent Be
hopeful, stern and manly. When once fairly in
work, don't give it up. Don't disgrace your
self by being on this thing to-day, on that to-
morrow, and on another next day. We don't
care if you are the most active mortal living;
we don't care if you labor day and night, in sea
son and out, be sure the end of your life will
show nothing if you perpetualy change from
object to object. Fortune. success, fame, posi-
ton, are never gained but by piously, bravely
sticking, growing, living to thing till it is fair
y accomplished.
In short, you must carry thing through if
you would be anybody or anything No matter
if it is hard. No matter if it costs you the pleas
ure, the society, the thousand pearly gratifca-
tions oflife. No matter for these. Stick to the
thing and carry it through. Believe you were
made for the matter, and that no one else can do
it all. Put forth your whole energies. Stir,
wake, electrfy yourself, and go forth to the task.
Only once learn to carry thing through in all
its completeness and proportion, and you will
become hero. You will think better of your
self; others will think better you. Ofcoursc
they will. The world in its very heart admires
the stern, determined doer. 1t sees in him its
best sight, its light, its highest object its richest
treasure. Drive right along, then, with what
ever you undertake. Consider yourself amply
sufficient for any deed. You'll be successful,
never fear Waverly Magazine.

From the Watchtower.
TO THE INEBRIATE.

WHY those gaunt and pallid features,
Why that dim and sunken eye;
And oh why those trembling footsteps,
And the noiseless smothered sighY
A worm is at thy heart-strings feeding,
Regret is brooding DER the past, I.
Remorse hath set thy bosom bleeding,
The light of hope is waning fast
From that dark and turbid fountain
Whence liquid sorrow flows,
Dost thou sip the deadly poison
With its dregs of human woes;
Yes, all yes the willy tempter
With blandish and deceitful smile.
TO gloomy realm of horror
Would thy deathless soul beguile.
BY the friends that thou hast cherished
BY their prayers oft breathed for thee,
Ere hopes beacon-light hath perished,
Ere darkness shrouds thy destiny,
Pause where now thy trembling footsteps
Family waver to and fro,
Ere thou pass the dismal threshold
OF the charnel-house of woe.
There the grim appalling spectres
OF the murdered joys of yore,
Haunt the wild and frenzied fancy
Of the souls that there outpour
An unceasing wall of sorrow
For the hopes which now are dead,
Souls that no ray may borrow
From the beacon-light that's fled.

CREDIT.-Is your credit good! Keep it so.
Never say to a creditor, 81 will pay you to-mor-
rown and tho, mt him off n dov or tvo lopoer
who might have been the "lord of his neigh
bor's purse" who cannot now obtain dollars
worth of credit. The reason is, he never does
as he agrees. His most solemn obligations are
broken; and when mans credit is gone he is
ruined. 1t is next to impossible for him to Sc
cure what he has unwisey and wckedly lost
A young man starting in life should on no ac-
count whatever lose his credit. 1t is his only
hope. Prompt payment has made thousand
fortunes. Remember this and act accordingly

The sudden elevation of person beyond the
condition in life for which nature and education
may have fitted him, whether in the possession
of wealth or position in society, is liable to cause
his ruin. On this point there is a very express
i've Arabic proverb, that when God purposes the
destruction of nm ant he allows wings to grow
upon it. The reason is, that, in regard to wealth
most men are capable of enjoying or applying
to useful purposes only limited amount, be-
yond which they have no criterion for estima-
ting the value. Social position, the appropriate
attendant of mental capacity and moral charac-
ter, can only be appreciated and maintained
where the mind is prepared for it, and the char
acter of the possessor entities him to it.

LrPs.-Some lips are poetical. Smiles fling a
light like morning ray upon them, and they
are glorious in their brightness. You feel as if
you were born to worship, and an appropriate
shrine was before you. Your eyes are fixed in
admiration, whose spell you would never break.
Every word which their fair possessor utters on
ly serves to heighten their magic and display
some new form from which you dream the voice
of your destiny must come. You may talk of
their influences, but vainly would you attempt
to describe them. Imagination can conceive of
nothing more delicious than kissing such lips.
| am overwhelmed at the thought of such lips.

ConScript Fathers There appeared in
these our days, a man named Jesus Christ, who

disciples call him the Son of God. He hath

He is man of stature somewhat tall and come

beholder may both love and fear. His hair is of
the color of the filbert when fully ripe, plain to
his ears, whence downward, it is more orient of
color, curling and waving about his shoulders
in the middle of his head is a seam or partition
of long hair, after the manner of the Nazartes.
His forehead is pair and delicate; his face with
out spot or wrinkle beautiful with a comely
red; his nose and mouth are exactly formed
his beard is the color of his hair, and thick not
of any great height, but forked. In reproving,
he is terrible; in admonshing, courteous; in

AN ExTEMPoRE ORAToR.-At the time when
Sir Richard Steele was preparing his great room
in York Buildings for public orations, he hap
pened to be very much behind hand in his pay

mong them to see what progress they made, he
ordered the carpenter to get into the rostrum
and make speech, that he might observe how
it could be heard. The fellow mounted, and,
scratching his poll, told Sir Richard he knew not
what to say, for he was no orator.

"Why, then Sir Richard" says the fellow,
