The New Brunswick Legislature has re-
Gently passed An act authorizing the issu
ance Of treasury notes to the amount Of
four hundred thousand dol!ars-the notes
are not convertible, but received for Gov.
ernment taxes, duties, and the like. The
Quebec Chronicle endorses this measure
fully, regrctting, however, that it had not
been carried step further, and the notes
made legal tender.
It goes on further to show up tho fallacy
OF the popular idea that gold is an exceed.
ingly valuable metal; and the proper basis
Of currency. The Quebec man considers
Il verv worthless sort Of trash, and
thinks it high time that men ceased to re-
card it with that species Of superstitious
attachment almost into which they have
been educated. In the United States, be

experiment has worked admirably. In bis
opinion it could Do dispensed With, and
paper currency substituted with general
advantages.

he thus sketches what he should have been
if he had not left home and become an
editor:
our correspondent would have grown
staiwar: and strong, with horny hands aud
a face as black as the ace of spades. He
would have taught school winters, worked
on the farm summers, and gone out hayirg
fifteen days in July, and taking for pay the
iron works and running gear of wagon.
AT two aud twenty, or thereabouts, he
would have begun to pay attention to
gil with father worth two tn ,usand dol.
lars, and a spit curl on her forLead-e
girl who always went to singing school,
and sets in the seats, and sung without
opening her mouth "a pretty girl, anyway.
Well, after seeing her home from singing
school two or three years, taking her to
Fourth of July, and getting about two
hundred dollars together, be would have
married aud settled down. Years would
pass away, anc that girl with the spit curl
would have had eleven cbildren-iust ss
sure as you ive-seven boys and four girls.
We should have had hard time in
bringing them up, ~ they would soon be-
able to do the milking, aud help their
mother in wash days, and I, getting indie.
pendent at last, and feeling little stiff in
the joints. would be elected member of
the Legislature, having been an assessor
and a school committee man for years. In
the evening of my days, with my pipe 10
my mouth, thirteen barrels Of cider in my
cellar, and newspaper in my hands, I
should sit and look through pair Of gold
mounted spectacles and wonder Why
should such strange, silly piece as this
be published"
