am one OF those who believe that Jackson
killed the old Bank, not because it was be-

not be said that National Banking system
is inconsonant with our system of Govern

any other nation. And, as we s,mehow
manage TO impose checks and safeguards

GEORGE BUTLrR.
Live Within Your Mesns.

Next to the slavery of intemperance, what
slavery is more calling than that of poverty
and indebtedness? The man who is every
body's debtor is every body's slave, and is
in much worse condition than he who
serves single master. For the sake of the
present. then, as well as for the sake Of the
future, we would most earnestly urge upon
every wOrkingman and boy to live within
his means. Let him lay by something
every day, if it be but penny, it is better
than nothing; infinitely better than running
IN debt penny day or a penny week,
If he can earn dollar let him try faithfully
and fairly the experiment of living on nine
ty cents. He will like it. People vii!
augh!" lie, them laugh. "They will call
me stingy." Better call you siingy than say
you do not pay your debts. They will won
der why do not have better furniture, live
in fine house, and attend concerts" Let
them wondor for awhile; it won't hurt them
and it certainly won't you. Bye-and-bye
you can have fine house, and attend con-
certs, and they will wonder again, and come
billing and cooling about you like so many
pleased fools. Try the experiment. Live
within your means.

OBITUARY.

Departed this life, June 18th, at Hoodville, ANA
dor co. Cal, after short but painful Illness which
she endured with the most exemplary patience and
resignation, CHARLOTTE T., consort of GEO d.
JOHNSON, late of Calhoun CO.. H.. in the 25th
year OF her age. Although so early called away,
she was permitted to remain sufficiently long to i'm
press us deeply witha sense of her worth Through
out every department of life her department was
ever such as to gain the esteem and affection of all
who came within the sphere Of her influence, even
amid the unfavorabe circumstances of California
lille. But the chain that bound her here is broken;
the struggle of affection is now over, and it is only
left 1t to ease its wound by its tears. As wife she
was true, loving and hopeful; as mother affection
ate and indulgent aud friend generous and sym
pathetic. The most needy herself. yet ever ready
to succor the unfortunate. Her loss has left an
aching void in the hearts of all who knew her well;
and yet amid the anguish of heart and blghted
hopes how consoling to feel and to know that in
stead of dwelling in this cold and cherries atmos-
phere of folly and pride she has been transpanted
to far lovclier scene, where she will ever thrive
amid the perennial bloom Of Celestial Paradise.
