dcbtedness at a specie value We should have no

It is payable the Of Camden for taxes and all
other dues, and consequently equal to gold. shaper,
and speeulaters who are ever aAios to make their
heavy per cent, will no doubt be or tile alert seeking

value.
BE NOT DIseOURAGED.--Hopc on, hope
ever. Life's prospects may appear to. you
dreary and uninviting; lifc's realities may be
painfully oppressive to Your sensitive feeling !;
but with trustful confidence believe that lie
who made way through the Red Sea for his
redeemed ones to pass over, can easily light up
your patti with sunshine and strcw it with
fariest flowers. He who forms the nj ght cre-
ates also the day. He WHO directs the course
of the storm cloud also sends the fair weather
out in the North. The railway of life does
not always lie through tunnels. Another
moment and your gaddcncd spirit may be ell
ioying the fine balmy air, and revcling in the
beauties of earth and sky. 1t may be that you
are even just now upon the verge Of Gods
choicest blessing.

ness is appreciated and that bis love IS nos

it exists in the heart. Who has. not seen and
