OUR SILVER COINAGE.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Courier says:
The Treasury is now burthened with
the custody of over five millions of dol
lars in three cent pieces. Two or three
years ago there was a universal complaint
of the scarcity of small coins, either
American or foreign. Mr.. Hunters COIN
age bill was passed slightly reducing the
actual value of our silver coin and proyi-
ding for It's more rapid manufacture.
The expected results have followed.
The wants of circulation have been fully
supplied but another less desirable con-
sequence has ensued, to wit: this small
change has become drug. People will
not take it, and the law makes it legal
tender in sums of not over five dollars.
Though the inconvenience of an made
quate supply of small change was a Sc
rious one, prudent fnanciers expressed
doubts of the soundness of the remedy
adopted at the time it was proposed.
Orders have been issued to suspend the
coinage of quarters and halves, and the
operations of the mint are much reduced.

made him a desirable companion, both
to old and young, and of invaluable SER
vice to community in which he lived.
He became noted as being a man ofmuch
reading, and extensive information. As
be was courted by the wise so did he
court the company of the ilIiterate, and
many the individual whose soul was light
ted by the lamp of his knowledge. His
motto was ever, "my light is none the
less for lighteningthat of my neighbours. "

LAID WHEAT-A REMEDY.

M
The late heavy rains, acting upon a
crop unusually prolific, large portion
has been beaten down, and many farm
ers fear that the lodged portion may
never arise and ripen, especially as the
indications are for wet weather.
: 1t ought to be known that a very SIM
pie mechanical process, may save large
proportion of the grain now in danger
L have tried it myself, and seen it tried
repeatedly, and never without entire sue
cess.
1t must be remembered Or noted, that
the lodging or falling down of wheat or
rye, is never general, or covering a
whole field, but in patches of larger or
smaller extent.
Now let two men, with light but
strong pole, say sixteen feet long, com
mence at the side of the field where the
blades have fallen TO the storm, usually
the west side, and passing the pole un-
der sections, of from two to four feet in
width, raise them, one after another,
with a quick action, to the standing
blades, from which it has fallen or sepa-
rated, and the blades thus restored, are
most likely to perfect their grain.
When the stalk or head is much weigh
ed down with recent rain, as is likely to
be the case al the present writing, it is
very important that the operators should
use quick and violent action, and re-
peat it, if necessary, in order to detach
the water from the heads and the should
ers of the blades.
Nor must it be objected to this propo-
sition, that the tramping through the
standing grain would injure it to any
considerable extent. A careful man or
boy may walk for mile through ripen-
ing wheat, without breaking one hundred
straws, by simply opening his path be-
fore him with his hands.
1t is not quite so expeditions, but one
man, with an eight foot pole, can oper-
ate and accomplish the same results.
have done this thing, and seen it
done repeatedly, and 1 know that if it is
faithfully attended to it will not fail, and
may save thousands of bushels of grain,
where now the prospect appears disas-
trous.
Two men can raise from seven to ten
acres of the heaviest wheat in one day.

THE INQUIRY.

Tell me, ye winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
Do ye not know some spot
Where mortals weep no more
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the west,
Where free from toll and pain
The weary soul may rest?
The loud wind dKindled to a whisper low,
And sighed for pity, as it answered " no :"
Tell me, thou mighty deep,
Where billows round me play,
Know'st thou not some favor'd spot,
Some island far away,
Where weary man may find
The bliss for which he sghs,
Where SORROW never lives
And friendship never dies
The loud waves rolling in perpetual flow,
Stopped for while, and sighed to answer al nOI'
And thou, serenest moon.
That with such lovely face
Dost look upon the earth,
Asleep in nights embrace
Tell me, in all thy rounds,
Hast thou not seen some spot
Where miserable man
Might find a happier lot?
Behind cloud the withdrew in woe,
And with voice sweet, but sad, responded "nor'
Tell me, my secret soul,
Oh tel me, Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting place
From sorrow, sin and death?
Is there no happy spot .......
Where mortals may be blessed,
Where grief may find balm,
And Eeariness a rest +?
Faith, Hope and Love- best boons to mortals given,
Waved their bright wings and whispered, 'yes in He

THE TWO HON ES.
BY I. S. ARTHUR.

Two men, on their way home, met al
a street crossing, and then walked on
together. They were neighbors and
friends.
"This has been very hard day, "
said Mr.. Freeman, in gloomy voice.
ga very hard day. echoed, almost
sepulchrally, Mr.. WalcOtt. "Little or
no cash coming in-payments heavy
money scarce, and at ruinous rates.
What is to become of US ?"
"Heaven only knows" answered MIR.
Freeman. For my part, I see no light
ahead. Every day ycomes new reports Of
failures, every day confidence diminish
es; every day some prop that we leaned
upon is taken away"
"Many think we are at the worst, !"
said Mr.. Walcott.
"And others, that we have scarcely
seen the beginning Of the end"-return-
ed the neighbOr.
And so, as they walked homeward,
they discouraged each other, and made
darker clouds that obscured their whole
horizon.
"Good evening"" was atlast said, hur-
riedly and the two men dashed into
their homes.
Mr.. Walcott entered the room, where
his wife and children were gathered,
and without speaking to any one, seated
himself in a chair, and leaning his head
back, closed his eyes. His countenance
wore sad, weary, exhausted look. He
had been seated thus for only a few min
utes, when his wife said, in a fretful
voice
"Mcre trouble again.
"What's the matter now?" asked
Mr.. Walcott, almost starting.
"John has been sent home from
school"
"What !" Mr.. Walcott partly arose
from his chair.
"He's been suspended for bad con-
duct"
80 dear !" groaned Mr.. WalcOtt-
"Where is he ?''
"Up in his room. l sent him there as
soon as he came home. You'll have to
do something with him. He'll be ruined
;f he goes on in This way. I'm out Of
heart with him.

THE BEAUTIFUL AND TASTEFUL
IN EDUCATION.

"Why should not the interior of our
school houses aim at somewhat of the
taste and elegance of the parlor? Might
not the vase of flowers enrich the table,
the walls display not only well executed
maps, but historical pictures or engrav-
ings; and moralist or sage, orator or faith
er of his country? Is it alleged that the
expenses thus incurred, would be thrown
away, and the beautiful objects defaced.
This is not necessary result.
have been informed by teachers who
had made the greatest advances towards
appropriate and elegant accommodations
for their pupils, that it was not so. They
have said it was easier to enforce habits
of neatness and order among objects
whose taste and value made them wor-
thy of care, than amid the parsimony of
Of apparatus, whose pitiful meanness op-
crates as a temptation to waste and des-
troy.
Let the communities, now so anxious
TO raise the standard of education, ven
ture the experiment of more liberal
adornment of their dwellings. Let them
putmore faith in that respect for the beau
tiful which really exists in the young
heart, and requires only to be called forth
and nurtured to become an ally of virtue,
and handmade TO religion. knowledge
has more imposing effect upon the
young mind, when it stands like the
Apostle at the beautiful gate of the tenn
pie. Memory looks back to it more joy
ously, from the distant or desolated
tracks of life. for the bright scenery of
its early path,
1 hope the time is coming when every
isolated village school house shall be an
Attic temple, in whose interior the occu-
pant may study the principles ofsymme-
try and grace. Why need the struc-
lures where the young are initiated into
those virtues which make life beautiful,
be divorced from taste and comfort? Do
any reply that the perception of the
beautiful" is but a luxurious sensation,
and may be dispensed with in systems of
education which this age of utility estab-
fishes? Is not the culture the more de-
manded to throw heathful leaven into
the mass of society, and to serve as some
counterpoise for that love or accumula-
ton, which pervades every rank and
spreads even in consecrated places the
tables of money-changers?
In ancient times, the appreciation Of
whatever was beautiful in the frame of
nature, was accounted salutary by sages
and philosophers. Galen says" he who
has two loaves of bread, let him sell one
and buy flowers, for bread is food for the
body, but fooOers are food for the soul" If
"perception of tie Jeauttul' may be
made conducive to present and future
happiness, if it have tendency to refine
and sublimate the character, ought it not
to receive culture throughout the whole
process of education d? 1t takes root,
most naturally and deeply, in the simple
and loving heart and is, therefore, pc
culiarly fitted to the early years of life,
when, TO borrow the words of a German
writer, "every sweet sound takes sweet
odor by the hand, and walks in through
the open door of the child's heart. -

BigotrY Rewarded.

We learn from some of our neighboring
contemporaries, that the good people
from BrantfOrd, have recently been IA
vored with subject of gossip,-and to
many of them,-a subject of amusement.
Mr.. Comeford, merchant of that town,
being about to erect a monument to the
memory of his deceased wife, was forbid
den doing SO by his priest, the Rev.
Father Ryan. However, during the tenn
porary absence of the clergyman, Mr..
Comeford effected his purpose, which so
greatly offended the Rev. gentleman,
that on his return he denounced Mr..
Comeford in unmeasured terms, going
so far as to say that " Comeford would
not erect monument to the Glory of
God, but had raised one to the glory of
the devil !'' This remark, casting stig-
ma on the memory of one, whose char
acter was without stain, SO excited Mr..
Comeford, that he demanded an expla-
nation. This being fatty refused, it ap-
pears that he inflicted personal chas-
tisement on Father Ryan. = Toronto

GLAD TO SEE THEIR HUsBANDs.-When
the Golden Age came in yesterday, con-
siderable excitement was created by q
nice looking little lady, who, when the
boat arrived, was dancing, clapping her
hands and jumping as if she would jump
out of her stockings, exclaiming, 'there's
my husband, there's my husband" and
kissing her hand to gentleman on the
wharf. When the steamer was near
enough, the happy-fellOw jumped on
board, to the great delight and amuse-
ment of the crowd, who by the shouts ap-
peared to sympathize most heartily with
the married lovers. Another lady equally
joyful, was doomed to disappointment,
as the gentleman she had been kissing
her hand to was not the man after ALL
Cal. Times.

On the quarterback Of the Artic stood
The herO-boy undaunted,
Like Hope with her calm heart unsubduei,
And her angel face enchanted.
While stout hearts quailed, and wildly rose
The tempest Of cOInmotion,
The brave boy gave the signal-guns
To the misty waste of Ocean.
Despair and the phantom Terrors round
The masts and the spars were flying,
While wildly swept DER the surging waves
The wall of the lost and dying.
But bark though the death-pall hangs above,
And the grave is yawning under,
The signal gun through the misty gloom
Still speaks in tones of thunder.
Then the craven fed and the timid wept,
And prayers to heaven were given.
As the fuming waters round them closed,
And the iron ribs were riven.
And 10 the dun clouds glow and glare,
And the masts are wildly reeIins:
The signal-blaze the calm, pale form
OF the herO-bOy revealing.
Slow sank the gallant ship, the sea
Her green waves Ger her meeting;
And the hearts that thrilled to love and fear,
Forgot the woe of beating
But bark the signal-gun once more,
And the clouds repeat the story
