How TO GER RID OF THE NATIONAL
DEBT.-There are twenty millions of
people IN the North. Ii each one of
these would destroy five cent cur
rency note daily it would amount to
million of dollars in a day towards
the removal of the national debt
If this were done every day for
year it would diminish the debt by
three hundred and sixty y-five millions
Of dollars yearly, which is more than
the whole internal revenue produces.
We know man who thinks 1t is his
duty to burn five cent bill every
day on this account 1t is less than
the tax on a glass Of Whisky.-N.

IsING.-Altheugh few an
tediluvian old fogies may deery the
benefits of advertising, we believe it
Is among thorough going business
men, universally conceded truth,
that liberal and judicious advertising
is the cornerstone of successful
trade. Girard and Aster acknowl-
edged the fact, Prince Barnum ad-
mits that he accumulated a series of
fortunes by the unlimited use of
printers ink, and Holloway, Ayers,
and host of patent medicine men,
are living evidences of the benefits
Of extensive advertising.
1t may be set down, therefore, as a
settled fact, that the man who decries
or neglects advertising is either
destitute of the enterprise which
forms the principal ingredient of the
wide awake business man, or cannot
offer to the public the advantages
offered by his competitors in trade;
while vice versa the merchant who
makes the most liberal use of the
columns of the press to acquaint the
community with his business, loca-
ton and terms, will receive the
credit of being a man of enterprise,
whe intends to be underseld by
Unconstitutional Enquirer.

Bad Reports of the Prince of
Wales, Gl

The Prince of Wales is going in
bad company, if the following story
told by a London letter writer, is
true. @ et
A matter which greatly disturbs
the good and legal subjects of Eng
land is the intimacy between the
Duke of st. Adams and the Prince
of Wales. The Duke of st, AIbans
is young man, about the age Of the
Prince; and has succeeded, in the
course of his short but eycntful life,
in getting up one of the most notori-
Gus regulations in Europe. His
character is so bad that, with very
high rank and great wealth, he is not
tolerated In the respectable aristo-
cratic society of London. He began
his career by getting into all sorts of
scrapes at Oxford, in which city he
used to appear with greater regulari-
tv in the police court than at the col
lege chapel, and from which univer-
sity he was finally expelled in dis.
grace. Since then he has been the
hero of innumerable adventures on
the continent, scsndaleus and other
wise, is well known in every gam.
bling house, and brothel, and police
court of Paris, and is as accomplish
a svillain, for young man. as yeu can
find in many a day. At Oxford, one
day, while yet in his teens. three
different young women appeared
in court against him, with charges
of seduction. Since then he has
matured in every species of dis
sipation, and is as well known to
the London police as any long finger
ed Jack from Billingsgate. And this
is the most intimate friend, compan-
ion and confdant of the heir to the
British Crown. They are constantly
seen together-often 90 arm in arm
together alone Of nights land where
they go is hardly mystery.) st.
Albans stays by the week at Marlbo-
rough House, and " ales, as regular
ly reciprocates by visiting the duke
at his house-and they are, in every
way, ''hand and glove" Not only
this, the Duke of st. Adams is the in
innate friend of the Princess, as well
as the Prince of Wales, and is eften
seen riding alone with her in the
park. 1t is, naturally, a matter of
to the English, that so
graceless areprobate should be so
familiar with the future queen, who
IS quite to giddy now to suit their
staid lasts, and who is vastly impru.
lent in her association with this
noble duke. Thus we see the Prince
Of Wales and his fair wife going in
he same path that Geo. the Fourth
Of disgraceful memory, trod, and
we may look forward to not very
promising reign, when another tory
and dissolute king ascends the Brit
sh throne.

A COOP ILLUsTRATIeN.-A cores
pondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel
says that the following colloquy oc-
cured between noisy, brawling
Democratic politician and a quiet
observing Republican. 1t hits the
nail on the head, and is too good to
be lost:
Democrat demand to know, sir,
if the States lately in rebellion are in
the Union or out of the Union? just
answer that, if you can.
Republican-The question is well
illustrated in your own personal his
tory. Four years ago you united
with the church here; and, if am
rightly informed, you have been
rather hard member to manage;
and, lately, charges have been pre-
ferred against you for downright
misconduct, and you have been sus-
pended until your case can be ex-
amined, and your fitness for the
membership determined Now sir.
/ demand to know whether you are
in the church or out of the churchi
The Democrat appeared to see the
point and left.

I'll Hold Her till She Strikes the
Shore.

The imiowing lines were written to tn,
memory OF MIR. Montague, son of Dudley S
Montague, Esq, of Putnam County, West
Va, whe WIS burned to death some time
since on board the steamer Fashion. Another
son Of Mr.. Montague lost his life while serv-
ing his country in the Mississippi gunboat
fleet. u
Since the days of Cassabianca, have new
er read of more heroic conduct, than that dis
played BY young Montague, the pilot of the
ill-fated steamer Fashion. When told by
his cemrade to quit the wheel, his reply was,
"1ll hold her till she strikes the shore"
The pilot bravely holds the wheel,
VI names beneath he hears the roar
Yet still he guides her burning keel
!" III hold her till she strikes the shore"
Around him fly, like shooting stars,
A thousand sparks, eddying soar,
And yet he stands, mid falling spars-
hold herti1 she strikes the shore.p
Shepants her iron lungs-her breath
Enshrouds her laboring prov;
The leviathan is in the throeS of death,
4 ct firm he holds her TO the shore.
Above the din of shouts and shrieks
His comrade warns him, All is o'er;"
He calmly to that comrade speaks
III hold her till she strikes the shore''
The goodly ships burning wreck,
But she has touched the shore;
All where's the hero of the deck
Alas, we'll see him never more.
His gallant form is wrapt in flame,
Lost in the craft he loyed'so WE'LL
His be the award, a hero's fame,
Who at the post of duty fell
He's losti She drifts without control;
But ere the bark went down,
Angels, we trust. caught ND his soul
And wreathed it with the martyrs crown.
Raise to his memory the cenotaph,
Let poets chant his praises DER,
And his words be his epitaph:

CARE FOR THE FEET.-Many are
careless in the keeping of the feet
If they wash them once q week they
think they are doing well. They dc
not consider that the largest pores
of the system are located in the bot
tom of the foot, and that the most
offensive matter is discharged
through the pores. They wear stock
ings from the beginning to the end
of the week without change, which
become completely saturated with
offensive matter. Ill health is gene
rated by such treatment of the feet.
The pores are not only repellants,
but absorbents and this fetid matter,
to a greater or less extent, is taken
back inte the system. The feet
should be washed every day with
pure water only, as well as the arm
pits, from which an offensive edor
is also emitted, unless daily ablution
is practiced. Stockings should not
be worn more than a day or two at
time They may be worn for one
day, and then aired and summed and
worn another day if necessary

E 1t is to be regretted for seve-
raj reasons that Kentucky does not
come under the reconstruction act.
We notice in the Louisville papers
frequent notices given to Union men
in different parts of the State to leave
or expect violence, and in many
quarters violence and disorder have
sway. In view Of this state of things
the Detreit "Post" says: "Mr. Doo-
little desired to call the Military Bill
a bill 'te organize hell in Louisiana.
Even admitting the correctness of
his view, we suggest that it does not
need to be extended to Kentucky.
The institution referred to by Doo-
little seems to be reduced to sys-
tenn there"

There was plenty of blushing and
some pouting as one or two of the
most fascinating beaux pleaded pri-
or engagements on a third or fourth
invitation from some fair ones.
Who would Madge choose? Harry,
OF ceurse!-Lawrence was watching
her little figure fitting from guest to
guest, finding places for dancers, and
with merry grace putting bashful
folks at ease, introducing couples,
prompting timid girls, carrying
smiles everywhere, and leaving a
streak of sunshine wherever she
went. She stood before him. The
smile died out and she blushed Grim

''Mr. Hayes. shall I have the plea

Lawrence bowed, offered his arm,
and led her to a place He thought:
'This is her duty-dance. She
knows l am grave and would not
win the admiration of the gay beau
ties here, so her kind heart prompts
her to dance once with me-"
Harry was Madge's next partner;
then Lawrence again; then again
three times, but others came be

noticed how gay and chatty she was
with others, how timid, quiet, and re-
served with him.
The evening sped on; it was quite
late, and part of the guests had tax

In little library on the same floor
as the ball room, Lawrence was sit

'TruantI' said Madge, "what are

''Have you missed me?" There
was deep thrill in his heart, a

There was q deep silence. The
merry words she had used to many

His eyes were fixed upon her sor-

A TTENTION is respectfully called to
N the above mentioned Paint, and the
qualities upon which are based its claims to
superior advantages, established by the most
incontrovertible evidence as to fact, az al
ready fully demonstrated in this and neigh
boring cities by many Of the largest Gas
Companies, Iron Establishments, Iron Safe
Manufacturers, Ship Builders, Painters, Su-
gar Refiners, Carriage Manufacturers, Build
ers, Steamboat and Railroad Companies,
Roofers, etc.
1t consists Of seventy-two parts Oxide of
Iron, aHd twenty eight parts Cement Lime
Stone, in the one hundred pounds.
= The Ore from which this Paint is manu-
factured is from vein discovered in Carbon
County, Pa which is overlaid with hydraulic
cement lime stone, through which the waters
of ages have percolated, and which in con-
nection with the Iron, gives to it the peculiar
property of withstanding heat and moisture,
which no other of the so-called metallic
paints possess.
1t has much more body than red or white
lead. 1t is warranted perfectly water and
fire proof, and to Withstand greater heat on
metals, without scaling, than any other paint
in use; hence it is unquestionably the
Best Coating ever applied on Steam
Pipes and Boilers,
Where It is prouen that euen Red Lead VIII
not stand.
It is a perfect cover for ships bottoms, of
iron or wood; and all kinds of iron, tin,
brick or wood work, out-houses and canvass
coverings. 1tprevents and arrests the corro-
sion of metals, and is not affected by the ac-
ton of salt, gases, acids or ammonia
Ithardens under water, as has been fully
demonstrated by its application to gas hold
ers, by many of the largest Gas companies in
the tTnited States; which companies, have
thoroughly tested its properties as herein
claimed, pronounce in its favor over any 9TH
er paints in the market, even though sold at
double its price.
AS coating for patterns of iron or wood,
when mixed with shellac, it is much superior
to beeswax, oil, or shellac alone, as has been
proven at the largest foundries in the country.
For patching boilers and making joints, IT
is considered superior to red lead, or any 9th
er preparation.
For cleaning metals 1t takes the place oi
crocus, rouge and emery, being better and
cheaper.
This Paint requires no more oil than dry
lead or zinc, and much less than the ordina
~ mineral paints. 1t is free from any waste
and possesses spreading and covering pow
er unequaled.
ALI orders or communications, by mail OF
otherwise, viii receive prompt attention.
