The DEBT or VIRGINIA. the proposals
submitted by the State OF Virginia looking to
the liquidation 0! deb, t'y The States trans
icrring to her hondho!dcr5 in lieu Of their Stale
bonds i like amount OF railway shares and
bonds will be considered at a meeting Of bond
holders on Monday next, il New York, on
which We have the following statement -
Buh SUI
The debt CT Virginia, as stated by the Audi
tor OF the State, was on the lst January, 1861
$53, &c, 2S6, 80; the whole income from every
source last year was 5000, Oll, 81 OF The re
ccipts are $7Ol,l IFS called revenue tax for the
year 1860. and $333, Cos from counties which
were previous to 1868 in the federal lincs -
Dcductlng these sums from the gross receipts
OF the year, the real income ior the year end
ing October, 1866. would be only about $780,
030 The expenditures were S7G2; $50 2G for
the year 1866. We cannot sec how State in
such q condition can pay any considerable ror-
ton OF the interest on 4 debt Of more than for
~ millions. We learn that Gov. Picrpoint's
interest in the railways for a like amount Of
the differences He divides the roads as The
odiics liver IullS, giving W llC buyers all the
roads on the south side of James river which
are five feet with the exception Of twenty-five
miles, in one transfer, the State to pass such
laws as will give the new shareholders all equal
rights with the present shareholders; and he
proposes to make like sale of all the States
railway shares and bonds on the north side Of
the river. The gross receipts on the FIVE rail
ways on the south side Of the James river last
year were about 81: 800, 900, and are about six
hundred miles. Three-fhhs of the capital in
most of these roads is owned by the State, be-
SIDES her mortgages Of S2,70O,OO0. The
wheat crop in 1866 in Virginia was not much
over onct tenth of that Of 1860 The tobacco
inspections for December, 1865, at Richmond,
were only 630 hhds'; for December, 1866, they
were only 24S hoesheads.

EVERY Day RELIGION must
come back to our point, which is not
to urge all of you to give yourselves
ND to mission work, but to serve God
more and more in connection with
your daily calling. l have heard
that a woman who has Il mission
makes a poor wife and poor moth
er; this is very possible, and at the
same time very lamentable; but the
mission ] would urge is not OF this
sort. Dirty rooms, slatternly gowns
and children with unwashed faces,
are swift with esses against the sin
cerity of those who keep others vine
yards and neglect their own. L have
no faith in that woman who talks
of grace and glory abroad, and uses
no soap and water at home. Let the
buttons be on the shirts, let the chill
dren's socks be mended, let the
roast mutton be done to a turn, let
the house be as neat as new pin,
and the home be happy as home
can be; and then, when the cannon
balls, and the marbles, and the shots,
and even the grains of sand. are all
in the box, even then there will be
room for those little deeds Of love
and faith which in my Masters name
1 seek of you who look for his ap-
pearing. Serve God by doing COM
mon actions in a heavenly spirit, and
then, If your daily calling only leaves
you cracks and crevices of time, fill
these up with holy services. To use
the apostles words, "As we have
opportunity let us do good unto all
men. ."-.Spurgeon.

BEDoUIN MoRALs.-An Iowa tour
ist in Palestine writes to the Chicago
Journal:
Much of the country is occupied
by the Bedouin Arabs, and for the
privilege of visiting the river Jordan
and Dead Sea their Shiek requires
80 so from each person. For this
amount he sends guard of Arabs
with you. The Bedouins would be a
noble race were it not for their in
born disposition to steal, lie, rob and
murder l slept on a house top
among them at Jericho, and while l
slept, with three to guard me, the
others outside amused themselves
by cutting each others throats, and
three were reported left dead on the
field. Upon the whole / thiuk l
should not like the Bedouins for
neighbors, and think their presence
in a community would not be very
agreeable.

GONE OF THE BoYs IA young
ster came home after having a glori-
ous time in the puddles, his face all
aglow, and his rubber boots full Of
water. The punishment of staying
in the house for the remainder of the
day did not seem very hard at first
but as his little heart warmed up
with the recollection Of the triumphs
of the morning, when he had waded
deeper than any of his playmates
dared to, he could bear the restraint
no longer, and went to his mother,
saying: "Please, mother, whip me,
and let me go out again.

Webster's Most Important
Thought.


When Daniel Webster was Secre-
tary of State some years ago, under
another administration than that oil
Mr.. Fillmore, he wrote to enc of the
proprietors of the Astor House, in
New York, saying that he would
reach that house on such day, and
begged that some of his friends
should be invited to dine with him
the same evening.
There were about twenty or so al
the table, and Mr.. Webster seemed
wearied by his travel and speaking
but little if at all, plunged into o
darksome reverie, not well calculated
to enliven his friends. This at
length became so apparent, and the
situation of all so unpleasant, that
one of the company urged upon q
distinguished man present. warm
friend of Mr.. Webster-to get him
into conversation. He needed to be
logged to become as lively as they
wished
This friend consented, and spoke
aloud to Mr. Webster, asking him
some questions that in ordinary cir
cumstances, and with ordinary men,
would have led to conversation; but
it failed in the present case. The
dark Secretary of State merely an
swerea simply, and crept into his
cave again.
Again the gentleman, frightened
by his failure, was urged to renew the
attempt to draw him out. He sum-
moned courage and said: "Mr
Webster { Mr. Webster looked ont OF
his cave, l want you to tell me what
was the most important thought thai
ever occupied your mind. Here
was thumper for him, and so every
body thought at the table. Mr..
Webster slowly passed his hand over
his forehead, and in low tone said
to friend near him: ''Is there any
one here who does not know me?"
"No, sir, they all know you--all
are your friends"
Then he looked over the table, and
you may imagine how the tones OF
his voice would be on such an occa
sion giving answer to such question.
''The most important thought that
ever occupied my mind" said he,
''was that of my individual response
bility to God!" Upon which, for
about twenty minutes, he spoke to
them there, and when he had fin
ished, he got up from the table and
retired to his room, and they, with
out q word, went into an adjacent
parlor, and when they had gathered
there, some exclaimed, "Who ever
heard anything like that!'
What Mr. Webster said in advoca-
cy of his sublime thought, do not
know. No one has ever repeated it.,
and presume no one can.

MAKE HOME BRIGHT AND PLEASANT.


More than building snowy mansions,
More than dress and fine array,
More than domes and lofty steeples,
More than station, power and sway,
Make your home both neat and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant. always fair,
Where each heart shall rest contented,
Bright and pleasant always fair,
Where each heart shall rest contented,
Grateful for each beauty there.
More than lofty swelling tides,
More than fashions Turing glare,
More than Mammon's gilded honors,
More than thoughts can well compare,
See that home is made attractive
By surroundings pure and bright;
Trees arranged with taste and order.
Flowers with all their sweet delight.
Seek to make your home mostlovely,
Let it be smiling spot,
Where in sweet contentment resting
Care and sorrows are forgot;
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest songs,
Where the purest thoughts will linger,
Confidence and love belongs.
There each heart will rest cOntented,
Seldom wishing far to roam;
Or. ii roaming, still we cherish
Memories of that pleasant home.
Such home makes man the better
Pure and lasting its control;
Home; with pure and bright surroundings
Leaves its impress on the soul.

H Nearly all sorrow, while it
lasts, depresses action, destroys
hope, crushes energy; but renders
the sensitiveness more acute, and
sympathies more general, and the
whole character less selfish and
more considerate 1t is said that in
nature, but for the occasional sea
sons of drought, the best lands
would soon degenerate; but these
seasons capse the land to suck up
from the currents beneath, with the
moisture, all those mineral manures,
that restore and fertilize the soil

sorrow; once surmounted, they fer
tilize the character and develop from
the deep fountains of the human
heart a joy and frnitfulness not

A TTENTION is respectfully called to
IA 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 ano neigh
boring cities by many of the largest Gas
Companies, Iron Establishments, Iron Safe
Manufacturers, Ship Builders, Painters, Su
gar Refners, Carriage Manufacturers, Build
ers, Steamboat and Railroad Companies,
Roofers, etc.
II consists of seventy-two parts Oxide Of
Iron, ard 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 euer applied on Steam
Pipes and Boilers,
Where il is prouen that eren Red Lead Will
not stand.
1t 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 Itprevents 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 Tnited States; which companies, have
thoroughly tested its properties as hepeiu
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 shellae, it is much superior
to beeswax, oil, or shellac alone, as has beer
proven at the largest foundriee in the country
For patching boilers and making joints, II
is considered superior tored lead, or any 9th
er preparation.
J; For cleaning metals 1t takes the place O
crocus. rouge and emery, being better ant
cheaper.
This Paint requires no more oil than dry
lead or zinc, and much less than the ordina
ry mineral paints. 1t is free from any waste
and possesses spreading and covering pow
er unequaled.
All orders or communications, by mail o
otherwise, will receive prompt attention.
