THE LITTLE CHILDREN.

p =
God bless the little children,
We meet them everywhere;
We hear their voices round our hearth,
Their footsteps on the stair;
Their kindly hearts are swelling Ger 2
With mirthfulness and glee;
God bless the little children,
Wherever they may be.
We meet them meath each gypsy teat,
With yisage swarth and dun,
And eyes that sparkle as they glance,
With roguery and fun;
We find them fishing in the brook
For minnows. with pin,
Or creeping through the hazel-brush
The linnet's nest to win.
We meet them in the lordly hall,
Their stately fathers pride;
We meet them in the poor mans cot
He fath no wealth beside;
Along the city's crowded street.
They hurl the hoop or ball;
We find them meath the pauper's roof
The saddest sight of all.
For there they win no fathers love,
No mothers tender care,
Their only friend, the God above,
Who hears the orphans prayer;
But dressed in silks or draped in rags,
In childish grief or glee,
God bless the little children,
Wherever they may be.

THERE COMES A TIME.


There comes a time when we grow old,
And like sunset down the sea,
Slope gradual, and the night winds cold
Come whispering sad and chillingly;
And locks are gray
As winters day,
And eyes of saddest blue behold
The lips of famed coral say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when joyous hearts,
Which leared as leaps the lang Ching main
Are dead in all save memory,
a prisoner in his dungeon chain;
And dawn of day
Hath passed away,
The noon hath into darkness rolled,
And by the embers wan and gray,
hear voice in " hisper say
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when manhoods prime
Is shrouded in the mist of years,
And beauty, fading like dream,
Hath passed away in silent tears;
.And then how darkl
But oh, the spark
/ That kindled youth to hues of gold,
Still burns with clear and steady ray,
And fond affections, lingering, say
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when laughing Spring
And golden Summer cease to be,
And we put on the Autumn robe
To tread the last declivity;
But now the slope,
go With rosy Hope, .
Beyond the sunset we behold,
Another dawn with fairer light,
While watchers whisper through the night
There is time when we grow old.

THE DEBT OF ENGLAND.

THE DEBT OF ENGLAND.
But who so blind as to be deceived?-
Have we not before US the record of the
funding system of Great Britain? Do we
not all know that for two hundred years
that nation has never been free from debt?
and hence her two million paupers, and her
thirty thousand owners of her soil! And
yet, this is the model followed by those
who have ruled, and who would have ru-
ined our country, had it not been for the
Iindomitable courage, unhinching energy
and patriotism of our people.
At the close of the reign of Charles I'd,
the British debt only amounted to six
hundred and sixty-four thousand two
hundred and sixty three pounds sterling
money, but by the year 1891, it had aug
mented to three million pounds; and the
war with France, which commenced six
years afterward, increased the debt to
fourteen millions, at which figure it re-
mained for three years. when the war of
the Spanish succession increased it to
thirty -four millions. And the Spanish
war of the year 171S augmented the debt
to fifty four million pounds, equal to hun
dred and ffty-one million four hundred
and sixty thousand dollars; when the
ministry of Robert Walpole, sanguine Of
success, determined to pay off the debt.
But, although favored by eighteen years
of uninterrupted peace, it was only re-
duced eight million pounds, equal to
thirty eight million seven hundred and
twenty thousand dollars. And the wars
of the Right of Search with Spain, and
of the Austrian succession, left debt in
174S, of seventy 1--WE million pounds ster-
ling; which, for q period of seventy years,
put an end to all theories as to the pay
ment of the national debt, although it
then only amounted to three hundred and
sixty three million dollars, or about one
third the sum of our liquidated debt. Af-
ter short respite, the seven years war
broke out, which sweiled the English
debt to one hundred and fifty million
pounds sterling. An interval of thirteen
years of peace followed, which was sue
ceeded by the seven years war against the
American colonies, which left the debt at
two hundred and forty million pounds
After ten years of repose, the wars inau
gurated by the French revolution com
menced, and after twenty years of con-
fict, Great Britain found herself with a
debt of eight hundred and sixty million
pounds sterlingl British statesman be-
gan to be alarmed at the danger of gen.
eral bankruptcy which might sweep away
the British throne and aristocracy, and
during period of forty years, England
INDUCED in the novelty of peace, and re-
duced her debt to seven hundred and six
ty million pounds; when the allied war
against Russia again swelled it to eight
hundred and five million pounds,at about
which figure it now stands.
Here, then, citizens, in this mirror Of
the British funding system, We, can see
reflected the fate of our own country.

THE NATIONS FAITH.


Reputation is an evil which we all de-
sire to see averted, and should such ca
lamity ever befall our country, it will be
solely owing to unequal, aud unjust, be-
cause unequal, taxation.
'sWhen national debts" says Adam
Smith, shave accumulated to acertain de-
gree, there Is scarcely single instance of
their having been fairly and completely
paid. The liberation of the public reve-
nue., if it had ever been brought about,
has always been brought about by bank
ruptcy, sometimes by an avowed one; but
always by a real one, though frequently
by pretended payment" \ 4 "The
Romans, at the end Of the first Punic war,
reduced the As, the standard coin, from
twelve ounces of copper to contain only
two ounces. The law which enacted it,
was, like all other laws relating to coin,
introduced and carried the Assembly OF
the people by tribune, and was probably
a very popular law" x x "1n the
course Of the second Punic war, the AS
was reduced to the twenty fourth part Of
its original value" "And even" says
Smith, "the enormous debt of Great Brit
ain might be paid in this manner" 4 :

STATE WAR DEBI.-Ihe Committee on
the War debts Of the loyal States having
requested a statement of its war cxpoudi-
tures, from the various Governors. GOV.
Dillingham; among the rest. Adj. Gen.
Washburn, has addressed circulars to the
seleetmen Of the several towns of the State.
requesting them to forward as soon as posi-
Die statements Of town expenditures on ac-
count Of the war. Whataction Con-
gress viii take on the subject Of
course is not known. The great objection
to the national assumption of these expendi-
lures, will be the large addition that would
thus be made to the national debt. On the
other hand by this measure, the S5uthe IN
States will be compelled to bear their share
Of the proper and loyal burden Of the war.
The bill submit ted by Mr. Blaine provides
for an issue of L. S bonds to the States and
for announcements TO counties and towns as
follows:
Sec. 8. Each State, on the receipt of said
bonds, shall apply them or their proceeds in
good fAi.h as follows First to the liquidation of
whatever State debt may have been contracted
in support of the var; second, in an equitable
manner for the reimbursement Of counties, CT
ties. towns. townships and other municipal cor
porarons, for advances made or debts incurred
in support Of the war and third, the residue,
i there be any, in such manner as the State !
Legislatures may determine
