Colloduial Currency,

The act Of Congress deteriorating the
value of Spanish coins, for the purpose
of excluding them from circulation, it is
hoped will lead to the abandonment of
the arbitrary and fictitious designations
of value in verbal use in Maryland, and
to a greater extent in some other States.
There would be more propriety in call
ing 125 cent piece real" which is
Its Spanish name, than "eleven pence 3"
or "levy." Since the establishment
of our decimal currency by act of Con-
gress of 1892. accounts in the T. States
are universally kept in dollars and cents,
and why the citizens Of the country
should persist in the use of the terms
"shillings and "pence" in business
and conversation, and thus aid in per-
petuating this exploded currency, when
the proper American terms of value are
more brief and appropriate, it is difficult
to understand. Another great disad-
vantage attending the use of these obso-
lete terms is the different values they
express in the different States of the
ITnion-a 124 cent piece, called here
levy" is denominated shilling" in
New York, &c; and frequent misunder-
standings and difficulties with travellers
are thus created.
Upon application being made to the
Legislature of Maryland to charter
Sixpenny Savings Institution" the
Legislature very properly refused to
recognize such currency, and changed
the name to "Dime Savings" &c.
The United States possesses the most
admirable, perfect, and simple currency
in the world SO much so that efforts
have been made in England to make
their currency conform to the system of
decimals. 1t is to be hoped that the
people of this country will discard the
colloquial terms of an obsolete and ex-
ploded currency, and adopt entirely the
simple, Ineligible, and expressive des-
ignations of the national coins.

The Genius of Poe

At a course of lectures given in Balti-
more, by DR.. McCabe, the following
tribute to the genius of Poe was strik-
ingly and impressiyely read:
He was presented as a strange and
wonderful man of our times and acquaint-
ance-mighty in his weakness, and
weak in his mightiness. A subtle mind,
a wizard of the pen, combination of
the worm and the God, of dust and the
Deity-a modern Prometheus chained
to the rock of fatal malady-a man
who came an age before his time, and
passed away like lightning upon scroll
who conquered ere he fell from the
topmost round Of fame's ladder, but fell
ingloriously; from the ark of whose
spirit the dove went forth to bring back
no olive branch from the subsiding del
uge of SORROW; in whose window came
the "dark and ominous bird of vore,"
croaking its "nevermore," forbidding
its cup of Nepenthe, and staring with its
wild and fiery eyes into all the convolu-
ted labyrinths of the past, plunging its
beak into his proud, sensitive, and bleed
ing heart, child of sorrow and of song,
whose death robes were put on in ken
mel, and whose last sigh was breathed
out in hospital. Misfortune seemed to
mark him from the cradle to the grave.
The house of a stranger was the home
OF his infancy; he never knew a moth
er's love, and, like the wandering Jew,
his restless spirit seemed ever crying for
"surcease Of SORROW" and when, in the
deep and passionate eloquence of des-
pairing grief, we hear him shrieking to
the dark impersonation of destiny
"Tel me truly implore
Is there, Is balm in Gilead. Tell me truly, implore
Tell this soul with laden if within the distant
Alden.
It shall clasp saiuted maiden whom the angels name
Clasp and radient maiden whom the angels name
Lenorei
That sad, solemn, hopeless response
&c Nevermore'' tells that not only did
he nurture the cypress for his grave, but
that no voice from out that "distant All
den whispered of peace beyond the
portals of the tomb.
All! that "nevermore ?" How sadly
it strikes the soul as we call up the cir
cumstances of Poe's death. He died a
drunkard! What a comment upon the
pcwerlessness of the highest genius, un-
aided, to struggle against the demon of
vicious habit There aoas balm in
GiIead,' and there was a physician
there" and he might have been "heal-
ed" But no-he did not, would not ap-
ply to him-he died--miserably and sad
ly he died Young man, read his doom,
and beware!
