no1s, rs the Rame appears from the books in my
Office. JESSE Z. DUBOIS, Auditor.
Nearly the entire amount OF currency un1c-
deemed is In the hards OF bankers and other large
holders, for only the bills of some half dozen
banks OF 1ess will circulate at ALL and they only in
the immediate vicinity Of the banka OF In this city

Of ample security on Northern or United States
stocks, responsible OWNERS and prompt redemp-

The prospect Of the bi1lholdere Of some Of the
banks receiving full dividends Is not very PROM

the outstanding circulation exceeds the securities

BOYS OUT AT NIGHT.

The practice of allowing boys to
spend their evenings on the streets is
one of the most ruinous, dangerous and
mischisvous things possible. Nothing
SO speedily and surely marks their course
downward. They acquire, under the
cover of the night, an unhealthy state of
mind, vulgar and profane language, OBJ
scene practices, criminal sentiments, and
lawless and riotous bearing. Indeed,
it is in the streets after night fall, that
the boys generally acquire the education
of the bad and the capacity for becom-
Jug rowdy, dissoluts, criminal men.
Parents do you believe it! Will you
keep your children at bome at nights.
and see that their home is made pleas
ant and proftable.-Ge'sesee Republican.
It is seldom that mozestruth is COM
pressed into so small a space. The
thousands Of boys, belonging to worthy,
respectable families, who are permitted,
night after night to seleet' their own
company and theii places of resort, are
on the certain road to ruin. ConGding
parents, who bei'ieve that their sons are
safe-that they VIII not associate with
the vicious-will one of thass days have
their hearts crushed as thousands have
before, by learning that their sons,
whom they regarded proof against any
evil, have been, from very early years
on the road to ruin. Keep Jour boys
at home nights, unless you accompany
them yourself. Deasocrat.

An Irish Soldiers Dodge.

A son of the Emerald Isle, but not
himself green, was taken up dor he was
at the time DOWN near rebel encamp-
mont not far from Manassas Junction.
In word, Pat was taking quiet ma p
in the shade, and was aroused from his
siumbers by a scouting party. lie wore
no special uniform of either party, but
looked more like spy than an alligator,
and on this was arrested.
Nv ho are you? what is your name?
and where are you from?" were the first
questions put to him by the armed party.
Pat rubbed his eyes, scratched his head
end answered.
.sBe gorra, gintlemen, thin is ugly
questions to answer, anyhow, and before
l answer any O. thin, ID be after akin
ye, by ye'er lave, the same thing"
"Weln said the leader, 1--WE are of
Scots army, and belong to Washing
tom
''All right said Pat, II knowed ye
were gintlemen, for I'm that same
Long life to General Scott.
s.Aha,T replied the scout, "now, you
rascal, you are our prisoner, and seized
him by the shoulder.
.sHow is that, are We not friends?" in
quired Pat.
aNo,'' was the answer, 1--WE belong to
General Beauregard's army"
"Thin ye told me lie, me boys, and
thinkin' it might be so, told ye mother.
Now tell me the truth, and I'll tell you
the truth too"
"Well, we belong to the State of South
Carolina"
$50 do I, promptly responded Pat,
tam to all the other States O. the coun-
try too; and there I'm thinkin' | beat
the whole O. ye. Do you think I'd
come all the way from ould ireland to
belong to one State, when had a right
to belong to the whole O. them?
This logic was rather stumper, but
they toek him, as before said, and car
ried him to camp for further e1amina-
ton.
1t is very evident from this specimen,
that Pat needed no prompting in closer
examination, and bearing no evidence of
being spy, they let him off, and the
more readily as while he assured them
he was no politician" he persisted in
thinking that any man was great fool
to belong to only one State when he has
a right, as he had, of belonging to thir-
ty-four States, "besides the territories. y
Now, in this simple incident, we know
why so large majority of our adopted
citizens stick to the national flag and
HE national Union. They become citi-
xens ssud swear fealty to the whole coun-
try. not 10 political fragment of it.
They remens sser their oath, while many
native born forget theiir "birthright."

THE DYING CREW.

An American ship landed on the coast of
Africa, and the crew had removed to one Of the
forts, the fever plague of that dread coast hav-
ing broken out among them. Soon the dying
were too many to receive the care Of the iiy-
ing. One of the fated crew, amid the rsyels
and reckless mirth, with which they sought to
meet inevitable death, composed the following:
We meet meath the sounding rafter,
aud the walls around are bare;
As they echo our peals of laughter,
Ii seems that the dead arc there
But stand to your glasses steady
"a We drink to our comrades eyes
Here's cup for the dead already,
And hurrah for the next that dies!
Not here sTe the goblets glowing,
Not here is the vintage sweet:
'Tis ooldr % ear hearts are growing,
And dark rs the doom we meet.
But stand to your glasses steady
hnd soon shall our pulses rise;
A cup TO the dead already
And hurrah for the next that dies!
Not SIGH for the lot that darkles,
Not tear for the friends that sink;
Well faN, midst the brim cups sparkles,
AZ mute as the wine we drink.
So stand to your glasses steadyi
'Tis in this our respite lies;
One cup to the dead already
And hurrah for the next that dies!
Time was when we frowned at others,
We thought ourselves wiser then;
Ha! hal let them laugh at mothers,
We hope to see them again.
But stand to your glasses steady!
The theughtless are here the wise;
a cup to the dead already
And hurrah for the next that dies!
There's many hand that's shaking
There's many cheek that is sunk;
But soon, though our hearts are breaking
They'll beam with the wine we've drunk
So stand to your glasses steadyl
'Tis here the revival lies;
A cup to the dead already
And hurrah for the next that dies!
There's mist on the glass congealing,
'Tis the hurricanes fiery breath!
And thus doth the warmth of feeling
Turn. ice in the grasp of death.
Then, stand to your glasses stesdyl
For q moment the vapor fiCsj
A cup to the dead already
and hurrah for the next that dies!
Who breads to the dust returning?
Who shrinks from the sable shore?
Where the high and hauty yearning
OF the soul shall sting no more.
Ho! stand TO your glasses steadyl
This werld is world. of liesY
A cup, for the deatsalrea9y-
And lurrah for the next that dies!
Cr. eli sFeCsr tile land that bore U.S.
BETRAYED by the land we find,
Where the brightest have gone before US,
And the dullest remain behind.
Standl stand to your glasses steadyl
'Tis all we have left to prize;
A cup to the dead already
And hurrah fer the next that dies

Not MaizingB.t Saving.

It is not the money that man earns,
but the money that he saves, which en-
riches him. anybody may acquire
wealth who will remember to act upon
this principle. The faculty with which
money can be, gained by industry, in
this country, is very great when COM
pared with the facilities for gaining it,
generally, abroad; but we are an extrav-
agant people, and we expena our earn
iRgs with commensurate predigality.
Those who do not, but practice self-re
straint' anda careful economy, iavaria-
bly, grow rich. They cannot we'll avoid
it: Money makes money. The Grst
tiiouasEsa ! dollars soon creates more
thousands; aRd if you will only compute
it, you will be surprised to discover how
SOON you hare expended that thousand
Upon. purchases by no means indispea
sable to either your comfort or Jour
happiness.

n@- Printers errors are sometimes
laughabis. A young clergyman printed
a~sermon, the subject of which was the
necessity for moderate and rational re-
creation, in which occurred the passage:
"Men should work and play too" The
want of stroke ruined it, and the re-
ligions word was scandalized by reading,
"Men should work and play loo."
