MONEY--HoW TO KEEP IT.--The way
to keep money is to earn it fairly and
honestly. Money so obtained is prot-
ty certain to abide with its possessor.
But money that is inherited, or that in
any way comes without fair and just
equivalent, is almost as certain to go
as il came. The young man who begins
by saving few shillings, and thriftily
increases his store-every coin being a
representative of good, solid work, hon-
cstly and manfully done--stands a bet
ter chance to spend the last half of his
life in affluence and comfort than he
who, in his haste to become rich, OBJ
tains money by dashing speculations
or tho devious means which abound in
tho foggy region lying between fail
dealing and actual fraud. Among the
the wiscst and most thrifty men o
wealth, the current proverb is, "MOn'
oy goes as it comes" Let the youny
make note of this, and see that thci
money comes r.irly, that i'll may lonl
abide with them. ,-

Fast Day.

Friday, the 9th, is appointed by our Chief
Magistrate as day of fasting, humiliation,
and PRAYER. 1t has been frequently proposed
that certain hours Of certain days be set apart
for special prayer by the Women of the South
in behalf of our suffering land. We believe
aye, we kmon-that these periods have been
scarcely observed by some, at least, if not by
all ; and none can deny the efficacy OF "fath-
full prayer On this day therefore. Friday,
the 9th of March, at three o'clock in the al-
ternoon, will not the Mothers, Sisters, and
Daughters of this Confederacy unite 10 earn
est petitions for speedy anti honorable peace.
God will be with us.
'If two of you shall agree on earth as
touching anything that they shall ask, it shall
be done for them of my Father in Heaven.

Confederate Finances.

Our exchanges groan with learned essays
on fnance-the object being to show how the
Government can arrest Ae depreciation of
redundant currency, maintain the public
credit, and finally pay its debts. We havea
supreme contempt for words whea great and
prominent facts stand out to challenge uni
versal attention. 1t is q waste Of breath. OF
paper and of common sense to beat the bush
for impossible ways to do impossible things,
when it is clear to every intelligent mind
there is bat one way to accomplish the end
sought and that as simple as the commonest
sum in arithmetic, and as obvious as the
evil to be corrected. What is the difficulty !?
1t is that the Government is paying lavishly
ont of,he treasury for the support of the war
and nothing is coming into it. An empty till
and depreciation of Government paper to
worthlessness are the inevitable results of
such process in given. time. What is the
remedy? There is but .one earthly remedy.
and Congressman, Treasury Clerks and Edi-
tors may scratch their heads, and exhaust
the finance libaries and fiscal references and
experiences of the Governments Of the world.
in vain effort to find another. Tdration is
the only resource, to keep down the interest
upon, and keep up the value of, your paper
money, and finally to sink and absorb the
principal Of your debt. And while. it is an
inexorable truth that taxation is the true and
only salvation Of Confederate credit, IL is. al
40 true that the sooner it is resorted 10 the
better. Are our Congressman afraid to ap-
proach the duty? Then, they arn not the
men for the times. Are they conscious of an
incspacity to master the subject Of finance :
Then, in mercy to the country, let them re-
sign and give place to those who have both
the ability and the courage to do their duty.
The people are ready to pay the tax, and
they are able to bear it. They expect 1t.
They know that their safety, property. and
liberties depend upon the public credit being
sustained-that che army must be disbanded
unless it is, and they must become vassals TO
Yankee lords and their women the slaves Of
Yankee passions. If they have given their
s,ns and brothers and their own blood to
avert thu horrid doom, will they not give their
substance? Tax! that is the cure Of the
financial malady. Tax heavily enough to
meet the public eI;gencics during the war,
and when peace is restored it will require on
ly a little courageous craftsmanship to WELD
the immense resources of the Coufedcracy to
the speedy extinguishmeat of its debt. We
have several King staples besides cotton. The
outside world may be made to pay royal til.
butte to them. II we succeed in this war,
we shall have saved these Kings Of commerce
to the world. 1t is but right that the world
should help bear the burden Of the struggle,
by footing the bill Of costs. All this when
our ports ore opened. Until then, taxation
is the only panacca.- Mobile Register.

90 The Substitute"

The reader will be involuntarily attracted
to this striking poem, which we copy. from
the Richmond Il,srated Ne1cs. It's subject
is one o. those instances of grand herosm
which tell us that man is not yet altogether
lost TO the god-like attribute of his original
nature. Perhaps no incident of the war has
challenged the poets genius, having so high
a grade of moral beauty in its tout ensemble: !:
And, for one, we are satisfied with the clasic
purity and dignity with which Mr.. IAYSE
has committed it to verse, and, We may add,
to immortality.

The True Spirit.

The Natchez Courier relates the following
incident: At one of the places burnt by the
sOueen of the West owned BY a lady who
had been thus villaiuously left homeless, the
valiant commander attempted to cdnverse
with her on the bauk from the deck Of bis

asked her:
"Madam, have you father, brother, or
any relations in this wsrg
"The lady was quite young, widow, with
two young boys Of FIVE and seven years of
age by her side. She answered, in sight Of
the smouldering ruins of her home:
"I have two brothers in the army and If
you keepontkis war twelve years longer (pres-
sing the heads Of her boys,) I shall have
tvo sons to fight you tin their death i-Iex
