re- Our member Of Congress,
Hon JNo. T. WILSON, made speech
in the House, on the 25th, on the
question of finances and the national
debt. The associated press dis
patches report him as follows:
He declared himself to be in favor
oc paying the principal of the bonds
in lawful money, except where they
were specified to be paid in gold
He proposed to issue a hundred mil
lion dollars IN United States notes; to
sell at the market price all the sur
plus gold in the Treasury, and add
to this fund from time to time any
surplus that could be spared from the
Treasury, until it would amount to a
hundred million dollars. The two
hundred million dollars thus provid-
ed should be applied to the redemp-
tion of On equal amount of five TWEEN
ties, now at the option of the Gov
ernment, the gold interest on which
would amount semi-snnually to six
millions in gold. He showed that
such sinking fund would amount at
the end of five years to S464, 900, 600,
at the end often years, to 1855, 900,
600; at the end of nineteen years, to
S2,092, 600, 900, being sum sufficient
within fraction, to pay the interest
bearing debt.

E The rebel democracy of In
diana held their State cony yention on
the 9Th. The following is one of the
planks of their platform, to-wit:
10. That the attempt to regulate
the moral ideas and appetites of the
people by legislation, is unwise and
despotic; and we are opposed to that
class of Legislation which seeks to
prohibit the people from the enjoy
ment of all proper appetites and
amusements.
Such is Indiana democracy. A
correspondent, in sending us the
proceedings of the convention, says:
Resolution ten was received with
more enthusiasm than any other.
The ceiling was intense" In connec
tion with this plank of Indiana rebel
democracy, the following incident,
copied from the indianapolis journal,
Is worthy TO be noted, to-Wlt:
1t is said that the liquor establish
ment Of James ,. Ryan. Esq, the
Democratic candidate for Treasurer
of State, which is opposite the hall
in which the Democratic Convention
was held, did a large business in
dealing out free whisky to the thirsty
Democrats, up to the time of the
nominations. When it was announc-
cd that Mr. Ryan had received the
nomination fer Treasurer, the estsb-
lishment vas closed, and no more of
the platform dealt out Two barrels
had already been consumed aud he
doubtless thought unless he closed
doors his entire stock would disap-
pear.

@- The democratic plan of Re
construction is being more plainly
made manifest, now that the leaders
consider the party SO strong that
further concealment of their senti-
m ents is not thought necessary
Senator THURMAN has recently, in a
speech at Mansfield. gave fuller de-
velopement to this "plan' than usual
with these copperhead orators. We
quote the following, that our readers
may know what the democratic
plan" is:
cit is true that during the war
they refused to perform their func-
tions as such States, but, their resis-
tance being overcome. their legal
status WAS what it was before the war
began. With the exception of Vir-
ginia-if that be an exception-they
had precisely the same boundaries,
and, so far as they yet lived, pre-.
cisely the same people, and with
scarcely an exception, if, indeed,
there were any at all, precisely the
same constitutions that existed be-
fore the rebellion. There was moth.
ing, then, for them to do--nothing,
at least, necessary for them to do,
but to send their Senators and Rep
resentatiyes to the Congress, in order
to put the whole machinery of gov
ernment in its regular and accustom-
ed notion
How mildly the. Senator draws it.
sit is true that during the war they
refused to perform their functions as
such States" but, "being overcome,
their legal status was what it was be-
fore the war" In other words,
though they committed treason, and,
with arms in their hands, attempted
the destruction of the best govern
ment IL the world--sacriicing mill
ions of noble lives, and entailiDg
upon the friends of the government
vast debt and high taxes, to ac-
complish their hellish purposes still
they do not justly incur any political
disabilities thereby, but should be
permitted to return and enjoy all the
right and privileges enjoyed by those

Shortness of Time in Dreams.

One of the most remarkable phenomena
connected with dreams is the shortness of time
needed for their consummation. Lord Brough-
am says that in debating, a man may frequent
ly fall asleep after uttering few words, aud
be awakened by the amanuensis repeating the
last word TO show that he has written the
whole but though FIVE or six seconds only
have elapsed between the delivery Of the sem
tence and its transfer to paper, the speaker
may have passed through dream extending
through half a lifetime. Lord Holland and
Mr. Babbage both confirm this theory. The
one was listening to friend reading aloud,
and slept from the beginning Of the sentence
to the latter part Of the sentence Immediately
succeeding yet, during this time, he had
dream, the particulars of which it would have
taken more than quarter Of an hour to write.
Mr. Babbage dreamt a succession Of events,
and awoke in time to hear the concluding
words of friends answer to a question he
had Just put to him. One man was liable to
feelings Of suffocation, accompanied by dream
of skeleton grasping his throat whenever he
slept ia lying posture, and had an attendant
to wake him the moment he sunk down. But.
though awakened the moment he began to
sink, that time sufhced for long struggle
with the skeleton. Another man dreamt that
he crossed the Atlantic, spent a fortnight in
America. and fell overheard when embarking
to return yet his sleep had not lasted more
than ten minutes.

The Power of Truth.

1t is related of Persian mother that, on
giving her sou forty pieces of silver as his
portion, she made him promise never to tell a
lie, and then said, Go my son; commit
thee to God we shall not meet again till the
day of Judgment
The youth went away, and the party he
travelled with was attacked by robbers. One
fellow asked the boy what money he had, and
he said, " Forty diners sewed up in my gar
ments." The robber laughed and thought he
was jesting. Another asked him the same
question, and received the same answer.
At last the chief called him and asked him
what he had. He said, A" have told two of
your people already that have forty diners
sewed up in my clothes"
He ordered the clothes to be ripped open,
and found the money. "And how came you
to tell this2' asked the chief
"Because," replied the child, 81 would not
be false to my mother, to whom | promised
never TO tell lie."
Child" said the robber, "art thou so mind
ful, at thy tender years, of thy duty to thy
mother, and am insensible, at my age, Of the
duty | owe to God2 Give me thy hand, that
may promise repentance on it' He did SO.
His followers were struck with the scene.
."You have been our leader in guilt" said
they to the chief: now be the same in the
path of virtue" They Immediately gave back
what they had stolen, and began at once to
lead honest lives.

Competition of the Sexes.

There is no fear whatever that men will
ever suffer in the long run from the COM
petition of women There must always be a
large class of avocations which only men can
follow successfully. AL callings which re-
quixe tough nerve, certain coarseness Of
mental texture, aud the faculty OF continuous
attention from year to year, must, in the ma
ture of things, be closed against the majority
of women. The sensitive imitativeness Of the
sex will forbid such pursuits to women in gen.
eral, and a large field Of intellectual exertion
must therefore remain essentially masculine.
But the utmost that can happen is that men
should be diverted from tasks which require
but portion of their faculties to others in
which all their powers will be exercised and
rewarded And such distribution of labor,
so far as il was created, would necessarily act
benefcaly on the whole community But in
fact, much less than this would probably be
effected. Three years are but small portion Of
life, and however well woman may employ
them, she cannot change herselfinto the work
ing machine which nine men out Of ten are
forced to become Ii will still be in most
cases her lot to bring up children, and act as
the helpmate of her husband but the better
she is educated the more will she exempliiy
the truth that helpmate to man should help
him in every part of his nature. His mental
constitution has hitherto been treated as some-
what beyond her powers. To carry the iniiu-
ence of woman into this province will be the
business Of the new Female University

Speak Low.

The following excellent hints to mothers
we find in the New York Chronicle They
are equally appropriate for fathers and all
others who have the care Of or are brought in
contact with children
know some houses, well built and hand
somely furnished, where it is not pleasant to
be even visitor. Sharp, angry tones resound
through them from morning till night, and
the influence is as contagious as measles, and
much more to be dreaded in household.
The children catch it, and it lasts for life, an
incurable disease A friend has such neigh
Dor within hearing of her house when doors
and windows are open, and even Poll Parrot
has caught the tune, and delights in screaming
and scoldng, until she has been sent into the
country TO improve her habits. Children
catch cross tones quicker than parrots, and it
is much more mischievous habit. Where
mother sets the example, you will scarcely
hear a pleasant word among the children in
their plays with each other. Yet the disci-
pline of such family is always weak and
irregular The children expect just so much
scoldng before they do anything they are
hidden, while in many home where the low,
firm tone of the mother, or decided look OF
her steady eye is law, they never think of
disobedience, either in or out Of her sight.
Oh, mothers, it is worth great deal to
cultivate that " excellent thing in woman" a
low, sweet voice. If you are ever so much
tried by the mischievous or wilful pranks Of
the little ones, speak low 1t will be a great
help to you, even to try to be patient and
cheerful, if you cannot wholly succeed. An
ger makes you wretched, and your children
also. Inpatient angry tones never did the
heart good, but plenty of evil. Read what
Solomon says of them, and remember he wrote
with an inspired pen. You cannot have the
excuse for them that they tighten your bur.
dens any, they only make them ten times
heavier. For your own as well as your chill
dren's sake, learn to speak low. They will
remember that tone when your head is under
the willows. SO, too, would they remember
a harsh and angry voice. Which legacy will
you leave to your children2

Instinct without Brains.

Long ago, it was ascertained by naturalists
that worms and insects are without brain,
aud yet they pursue course ofactivity which
bears so much upon the domain of reason, we
are accustomed to say they act from instinct,
which is no explanation at all of the phenom-
ena in the higher orders of organic life which
have their origin in the brain. If that organ
is severely injured, so that its normal functions
are no longer performed, consciousness and
orderly manifestations of its influence are in
terrupted or suspended. But the insect world
swarms with beings Of the most delicate con-
struction, without hearts and without brains,
whose movements and habits, independently
of thousands of contingencies to which they
are exposed, prove in the most satisfactory
manner that their acts are q near approach to
the elements of reasoning faculty, if they
do not indicate reason itself When by acci-
dent thread Of spiders web is broken, the
little weaver examines the misfortune with
extreme care, and, by taking different posi-
tions, surveys the damage, and then proceeds
artistically to repair it by splicing or inserting
an entire new cord. Again, when wander
ing fly becomes entangled in the net, the eau
tious approach of the owner Of the trap, lying
patiently near for game, indicates calculation
in regard to the character and strength of the
victim. Does it not strangely resemble reason
when all its movements, under such an aspect
of affairs, show beyond doubt the spider cons
siders the matter in all its relations before
venturing to seize the prey? And yet spi-
ders are without brain. A very nice ques-
tion here very naturally suggests ITSELF which
learned expounders of physiological laws are

Evil Company.

The following beautiful allegory is transla-
ted from the German.
Tophronious, wise teacher, would not suf.
fer even his own grown-up sons and daughters
to associate with those whose conduct was not
pure and upright.
Dear father" said the gentle Eulalia to
him one day, when he forbade her, in company
with her brother, to visit the volatile Lucinda,
"dear father, you must think us very childish
If you imagine that we should be exposed to
danger by it."
The father took in silence a dead coal from
the hearth, and reached it to his daughter
alt will not burn you, my child take IT,"
Eulalia did So; ard behold her delicate
white hand was soiled and blackened, and as
il chanced her white dress also.
1--WE cannot be too careful in handling
GOALS" said Eulalia, in vexation.
"Yes, truly" said the father "you see,
my child, that Goals, even If they do not burn
blacken. So il is with the company of the
vicious"

A countryman brought from the city five
peaches, the finest that ever were seen. But
his children saw this fruit for the first time.
Therefore they wondered and rejoiced in the
pretty peaches with their red checks and deli

among his four boys and gave one TO their
mother.
In the evening when the children went to

" Well, and how did the pretty peaches

." | ate mine at once the youngest cried
.' and threw away the stone, and mother gave
me half of hers. Oh it tasted so sweet, and
melted in my mouth"
Well" said the father, you have not
acted very wisely, but naturally, and in a
child's manner. For wisdom there is yet
room in the course of your life"
Then the second son began hunted up
the stone which my little brother threw away,
and cracked it, There was a seed in it that
tasted as a nut But my peach sold for
enough, when 60 to the city, that can
probably buy twelve"
The father shook his head and said
THAT is wise enough, but child-like and
natural it was not Heaven guard you that
