Origin Of the term Hum bug,

Among the many issues of
base coin which from time to
time, were made in Ireland.
there was none to be compared
In worthlessness to that made
by James IL. at the Dublin
mint. 1t was composed of any
thing on which he could Law
his hands, such as lead, pewter,
copper and brass, and SO low
was its intrinsic value that 20
shillings of it was only worth
two-pence sterling. William
Ill, a few days after the bat
tie of the Boyne, ordered that
the crown-plece and half-crowp
should be taken as one penny
and one half-penny, respect
lively. The soft mixed metal
of which chat worthless coin
was composed was known "a
mong the Irish as Uimbog,
pronounced Oembug, that is
soft copper, or worthless mon
ey and in course of their deal
ings the modern use of the
word "humbug" took its rise,
as in the phrases-"That's a
piece of uimbog.' Don't
think to pass off your uimbog
on me-" Hence the word hum
bug came to be applied to any
thing that had specious ap-
pearance, but which was in
reality spurious. 1t is curious
to note that the very opposite
of humbug is the word sterling
which is also taken from
term applied to the true coin
age of Great Britain, as ster-
ling coin, sterling worth, etc.

some of those who were joining at the time. On
the third day Of August, the month in which
they died. I visited these sisters in their afic-

dera into the Church. She was deeply penitent,
and was earnestly seeking the salvation OF her.
soul. Rowena had made peace with God, and:
was, at that time, enjoying the smiles Of her
Saviour. Her disposition was mild and pleasant.
She was calm, prudent and thoughtful in her
habits She loved her Bible, and the society of
religious people. She took no interestin bats,
parties, or gay company. The productions OF
her pen had moral sentiment running through
them all, which showed that she had religious
cast of mind Beivadera was just the opposite
of her sister in disposition. She was wild and
ronantie-fnn of life and fond of gay company:
but during her affections, she often wished that
she had lived as did her sister. RGWena said to
her mother eff get well, will help you train
my little brothers and sisters for tod and ~hea-
ven;' and, on one occasion, she remarked to her
father Elf it be Gods will for me to die, You
must not shed tear over me, for 1 GDs Teady 10
qo;'' and like St. Paul. she desired to depart and
| be with Christ. On the evening before she died,
she looked up and commenced smiling and some
one asked her what she saw, she said, II see the
Saviour Her face was so lii mp by this glori-
Gus vision, that it shone with an unearthiy lus-.
/ ire, And in this blessed state of mind, Rowena
passed away from the sorrows Of earth to the
Iioys of heaven. Belyadera lived six days longer,
which she spent in self examination, prayer and
| meditation.
She said to minister of the Gospel, 81 have
| given myself to Jesus, and am wiling for my
Saviour to take me and put me at his feet" Af-
ter that she said to her mother, II belong to the
Lord have given myself up to Jesus She
spoke of Rowena as sweet sister, and a bright
| angel. and longed tosbe with her in heaven.-
| May the p;srents, and all the children, and
relatives follow on, and meet Rowena and
B lyadera in the cloudiess region of eternal day.

General Bragg,s Plans.

The Atlanta Confederacy's correspondent
writing from Bardstown, KY, where Bragg's
army was ON the 9th ut., thus explains
his programme:
1t is no part of General Bragg's present
plans to occupy Louisville. He foregoes the
empty glory of the conquest to pursue more
comprehensive plan. The march Of this
army from Chattanooga has been an extraor-
binary one. In little over two weeks Gene
raj Bragg has transported his great train OF
ordnance and supplies over two mountains
and two rivers, and marched 800 miles. At
every move he has deceived, out generated
and out-fanked Buel, who is now making his
way to Louisville. On the march he compel-
ed the surrender of Munfordsyille. with 1890
prisoners and valuable stores. of medicines
and food He freed North Alabama, and if
General Price has done his duty and executed
his part of the programme the whole OF Ten
nessee should. now be liberated. The enemy
occupies but small part of Kentucky, and
when Price shall have secured our rear by
holding Nashville, we are strong enough, II
Kentucky does her duty, to maintain Ken
lucky, and thus defend the more Southern
States of the Confederaey on frontier re-
moved three hundred miles north from the
fighting ground Of the last campaign. The
quartermasters buy corn at 80 cents, and
beef and bacon at 5 to 7 cents. So you will
perceive our army is cheaply subsisted. The
country. is full of provisions, and we hear
that Kirby Smith has already collected large
army stores at Lexington.
