towns and cities when and where they are

needed.
There must be more proaucers-more
addcrs of real, material wealth to our coun-
try. Require every person in health to do
something for his or her own support, and
a wonderful change would take place in the
finances and in the happiness of every
family and Of every community. No mat
ter how small or how humblc-doing some
Miing would make mighty and prosper
Gus aggregate. We must hare less of idle
ness-far less Of extravaganza.
The abolition of the loose American
credit system, by CASH DOWN PAYMENTS,
or by universal settlements monthly or
yearly, is demanded by every considera-
tion of sound policy, and of justice alike
to the idier who sponges living by OBJ
tanning credit here and there, as we'll as to
the honest who are charged extra prices
to make up for the frauds of others.
We do not need more Banks-but we
need to make those we have more careful
aud honestly devoted to legitimate bank
ing. A rigid enforcement of the Small
Note Law in our State, would in one year
be found blessing.
AT THE PRESENT CRISIS
There needs TO be calmness, thoughtful
ness, perseverance, patience, and benevo-
lence exercised in great degree. "Panics,"
and unwse, selfish fear, are especially to
be avoided Look over the whole field,
and carefully adapt means to ends. Labor
assiduou>ly, practice economy, and guard
against all wastes. Give debtors fair
chance to make good their debts, and in-
dulge them when advisable and possible.
Make it an everyday effort to advance the
common interest, and immense good may
be done.
In time Of scarcity and depression, good
humOr and ccurage,a and especially MONEY,
are mighty agents forgcod. Then, instead
of being boarded, money should be set ahoat
and will pay more debts than in times Of
prosperity. 1t should be matter of con-
science, and Of pleasure, as well as of pub
lie policy, at such times, for all persons
with money to pay every existing debt, as
well as to anticipate those soon to be due;
to lay out where practicable, instead of
Withdrawing; and by judicious and safe
Investments to give encouragement and
substantial relief. While "bard times"
may make the miser and the hard hearted,
worse, they afford an excellent opportunity
for the generous Christian heart to prac-
tice upon the golden rule. A thousand
dollars put in circulation, may discharge
ten thousand dollars of Indebtedness with
in a week-make dozen friends-relieve
q host of anxieties-and confer happiness
on solicitious wives, and debt-fearing chill
dren, as well as on worthy fathers and hus-
bands.
