National Debt and Prosperity.

Editors IHteiligsaesr:
Mscauley says "uuder the energetic aud
prodigal administration OF the First VIII
liam Pitt, the debt of Eoglaud rapidly
swelled 10 q hundred aud forty millions"
Business meu almost unanimously pro
nOuuced that the fatal day had uOw really
arrived. David Hume, undOubt
edly one of the most profound political
economists OF his time, declared that our
madness had exceeded the madness OF the
Crusaders. Better for US 20 have

70 oe saddied with the interest OF hundred
and forty millions. Not less gloomy
was the view which George Grenvile, a
minister eminenty diligent and practical,
took Of our financial situation. The nation
must, he conceived, sink under d debt Of
one hundred aud forty millions, unless
portion of the load were borne by the
American colonies. Tae attempt to lay
portion of the load on the American colo
uies produced another war. The war left
with an additional hundred millions Of

had been represented as Indispensable

the diagaostlcs aud prOguOstics of State

Cred aud forty millions, so she was visIoly
more prosperous with = debt OftWo hundred
and forty millions than with debt of one

the vars which spraug from the French
Revolution, and which lar exceeded in cost
auy hat the world had ever seen, tasssd
the powers OF public credit 10 the utmost.
When the world was again az rest tue fun
ded debt OF EHgland amounted to eight hun
dred millions. II the most enlightened man
had been told 10 1892 tdat IN 1915 the
interest on eight huudred millions would

18th Inst. Challenges to 6ght were recip-

on Saturday. She was escorted Oy the
French irou-clad CourOnne, which was ap-
pointed TO see the Alsbams clear OF the
limits OF the port OF Cherbourg. The en-
gageuent took place about u miles from
the port. The FIRST shot was fred oy the
Alabama at the Kssrssgs at 1890 p, n.
The latter had chain cable traced along
her sides to break the force Of the shots
from the Alabama.
The Alabama was about 1000 yards
from the Kearsage when she fEed the first
shot. Being the fastest snip, was able to
steam round her antagonist in continually
narrowing circles; when within i've hun
dred yards of the kearsage the rudder and
screw of the Alabama were shot away, and

Who will Care for Mothsr Now.

Why am l so weak and weary?
See how faint my heated breath;
All around to me seems darkness
Tell me, comrades, is this death
All. how well know your answer;
To my fate meekly bow,
If you'll only tell me truly =.
Who will care for mother now.
CHORUS.
Soon with angels I'll be marching.
With bright laurels on my brow;
l have for my country fallen,
Who will care for mother now!
Who will comfort her in sorrow!
Who will dry the falling tear?
Gently smooth her wrinkled forehead!
Who will whisper words Of cheer !!
Even now think see her,
Knseling, praying for me now;
Can leave her in her anguish
Who will care for mother now!
Give my knapsack for pillow,
Let my mantle be the sky,
Hasten, comrades, to the battle,
| will like soldier die.
Soon with angels I'll be marching
With bright laurels on my brow,
! have for my country fallen
Who will care for mother now!
ANSWER.
Sleep. noble hero, let not one fear
Steal DER thy brave heart as death draws
near;
For in her sorrow your mother will find
True hearts around her, loving and kind !;
Though you have left her weeping for YOU,
Kind friends are near her, constant and
true.
They'll surely cheer her when you are
gone,
They will not see her mourning alone.
Friends will be near her. angels will come,
To guard and cheer her, when you are
gone.
Angels will guard her both night and day,
Gently they'll lead her up through the
way;
Though friends forsake her, they will be
there,
Ready to save her from dark despair.
Should angels leave her yet there is One
Who will receive her when all are gone;
One who will guide her to that home
Where no sorrow ever can come. 4
