Tinkering the Currency.

Some Administrationists do not seem
perfectly satisfied with the currency as 1t
exists They appear to think that there Is
too great difference between the accepted
value of gold and silver coin and greenback
currency. By reason of this difference, the
expenses of the Administration are very
largely increased as well as the cost of living
to the people; but instead Of this being al
objection. it is an argument in its favor
We adopt the theory of the the Admins
tration,politicians. The President in his
Message and surely no one will have the
temerity to doubt his wisdom and tar-reach
ing perception, argues that, inasmuch as oul
public debt is held, ''for the most part, by
our own people, it has become substantial
branch of national, though private proper
ty." Therefore, if this public debt were
not held, "tor the most part, by our, own
people," it would not be branch of sub
stantal national property Indeed, it would
be the reverse. A home illustration will
make this unmistakabe. Suppose com
pany of gentlemen engaged in certain en-
terprise here in the city of Columbus ex-
pended daily from three to four times more
than they realized OF can realize from their
enterprise, and were constrained to go into
the money market to borrow means with
which to pay their expenditures. Now, II
they succeeded in borrowing those means
here in the city of Columbus, the evidences
of their indebtedness-their promisesto pay
become substantial property Of the city
the city meanwhile being rendered prosper
Gus; but if that company failed to secure
the necessary means in exchange for their
evidences of Indebtedness here, and secured
the accommodation in Cincinnati, the sub
stantial property Of Cincinnati would be
thereby increased, while the company would
feel the weight of their indebtedness more
than if they had been accommodated here
in Columbus. This is the President 5 ar
gument touching our public debt slightly
illustrated. If the argument is sound, it is
the greatest absurdity imaginable for any
efforts to be made by which check shall
be made to the increase of the public debt.
Nor is it sound financiering to undertake to
put gold and silver coin down to the value
of greenback currency, and to keep it down,
because Administrationists insist that the
wider the discrepancy between the value OF
these articles, the more is the ability of the
people increased to grow in prosperity and
wealth Sf1fesD,1n

Want Of Decision.

Sidney Smith, in his work on Moral Phil
osophy, speaks in this wise Of what mer
lose for want ofa little brass, as it is termed
"A great deal of talent is lost to the world
for the want of little courage. Every day
sends to their graves number of obscure
men, who have only remained in obscurity
because their timidity had prevented them
from making a first effort; and who, if they
only had been induced to begin, would. in
all probability, have gone great lengths in
the career of fame. The fact is, that in
doing anything in the world worth doing,
we must not stand shivering on the bank
thinking of the cold and danger, but jump
in and scramble through as well as we can.
1T will not do to be perpetually calculat-
ing risks and adjusting nice chances; it did
al very well before the food, when man
could consult his friends upon an intended
publication for hundred and fifty years,
and live to see its success for six or seven
centuries afterwards but at present man
waits and doubts, and consult his brothers
and his uncles and his particular friends, till
one day he finds that he is sixty-fye years
Of age, that he has lost so much time in con-
sulting first cousins and particular friends,
that he has no more time to follow their ad-
advice. There is so little time for over
squeamishness at present, that the oppor-
tunity slips away. The very period Of life
at which man chooses to venture, if ever, is
so confined, that is no bad rule to preach up
the necessity, in such instances of little
violence done to the feelings, and efforts
made in defiance of strict and sober calcu-
lations.'

my love which ] can transmit to her and
that my thoughts in death were hers. ~"
Nergniaud scratched upon his watch a few
lines Of tender remembrance, and sent it to
the young lady to whom in a few days he
was to be married. Five rude carts convey
ed them 10 the scaffold Each cart con
tained five persons The streets through
which the sad procession passed were throng-
cd with countless thousands IL was one Of
the most splendid October mornings As
the carts moved the Girondists sang the
Marseillaise Hymn. At the end Of each
verse there was a moments silence, and
then the strain was renewed. loud and sonor-
Gus. Arrived at the scaffold them all EN-.
braced. Then they resumed their funeral
chant.
One after another assembled the scaffold,
continuing the song till his head fell into the
basket. There was no weakness No voice
faltered; on each succeeding moment, as
head after head fell the song grew more
faint. Nergniaud at last stood alone. Long
confinement had spread deadly pallor over
his intellectual features. He ascended the
steps, the chorus having now died away
into a solo of surprising richness
For a moment he gazed upon the headless
bodies of his friends And dthen, as he sur.
rendered himself to the executioner, com
menced anew the strain
"Come, children Of your country, come
The day Of glory dawns on high"
The axe fell, and his lips were silent in
death. Thus perished the Girondists. The
history of the French Revolution, in all its
sublime annals, has not tragedy more
shrilling.

Cutting Up Pork.

Have the hog laid on his back on a stout
table Clean the carcass of the leaf fat.
Take off the feet at the ankle joints. Cut
the head off close to the shoulders, separate
the jowl from the skull lengthwise on the
under side, so as to remove the brains fully
Remove the backbone in its whole length,
and with sharp knife cut off the skin
then the fat, leaving only about one halt
inch of fat on the spinal column. The mid
dlings or sides are now cut from between
the quarters, leaving the shoulders square
shaped, and the ham pointed, or it may be
rounded to suit your fancy. The ibis are
next removed, partially or entirely from the
sides. The trimmings of fat from the hams
and flabby parts of the sides are rendered
up with the backbone strip for lard. The
sausage meat is cut from between the leaf
fat and the ribs; and other lean pieces are
used for the same purpose The thick part
of the backbone that lies between the shCul-
ders is called the chine; it is cut from the
tapering bony end, and the latter part call
ed the backbone by way Of distinction. The
backbones are used while fresh the chine
is better after being smoked. - Country

Home.

Love watches over the cradle of the infant,
over the couch of the aged, over the well
fare and comfort of each and all; to be happy,
man retires from the outdoor world home.
In the household circle, the troubled heart
finds consolation, the disturbed finds rest,
the Joyous finds itself in its true clement
Pious souls when they speak Of death, say
that they go home. Their longing for Heav-
en- is to them home-sickness. Jesus also
represented the abode of eternal happiness
under the picture of home, a father $
house. Does not this tell US that the earth
" home is appointed to be a picture, OF
Heaven, and foretaste of that higher
home.
