Romance Of the Needle.

The Christian IntelligenCer thus dis
courses about the exploits Of the needle:
"What a wonderful thing is this matter
of sewing! 1t began in Paradise, and
was the earliest fruit of the fall. Amidst
the odor of flowers, and by the side of
meandering streams anu under the shade
of the dark green foliage, the covering
forms Of the guilty progeDitors of our.
race, bowed in anguish and shame, as
they took their first lessons in the art
which has ever since been the mark Of
servitude or sorrow. Ard yet the curse
has not been without Its blessing.
"The needle with the thimble has done
more for man than the needle of the
compass. The needle work Of the Ta5-
ernacle is the most ancient record Of the
art Early used to adorn the vestments
of the priests, it was honored by God
himself, and becamea type Of beauty and
holiness. The kings daughter is all
glorious within; her clothing IS Of wrought
gold; she shall be brought unto the. king
in raiment Of needle-work' The mag
nifcence of kingly pomp, the imposing
spectacle of religion or wealth, the tri-
butte of honor to the great, the charm Of
dignifed society, the refined attractions
of beauty, are dependent upon the
needle"

A Proposed Government, Paper Currency.


1t is announced that the Director of the
o. S. Mint proposes to establish a new
paper currency, based on the deposits in
the institution. He has prepared bill
for this purpose, which he intends to lay
before Congress- 1t authorizes the Mint
to issue certificates on the deposit of gold
bullion, and of similar certificates by the
Mint; and all the Sub Treasurers, on the
deposits of gold coin. These certificates
ere to be redeemed only at the offices
which issued them, the theory of the pro-
cess being that the gold deposited will al
ways be kept on hand to meet the certifi-
Gates when presented for payment The
Director claims that it will greatly increase
the security of specie-owners over that
Afforded by the Banks; that it will check
the practice of boarding; that the certi-
fcates will become currency as much as
the gold itself; that huge pile of coin
thus stored away will serve as q great
balance-wheel to prevent commercial dis
turbsnces in times of panic or crisis that
the use of certificates will prevent the
loss by wear, clipping or sweating; that
the retaining of a government bullion fund
at the Mint would no longer be necessary;
that, being based on deposits, no over-is-
sue Of certificates could be made, and
that, like bank notes, they should be made
payable to bearer on demand, and circu-
late exactly as they do.-S Louis, No.,
