NATIONAL DEBT OF ENGLAND.-Mr.
William Hewitt, the author of sCassell's
History of England writes on the sub
iect of the national debt. Before the
reis0 of Charles the Second, this king
dong knew nothing of national debt.
At the accession of Anne, owing to the
military exploits of William LII. and
Marlborough on the Continent, it had
swelled to G16 200, 900. AT the acces-
sion of George I. it had grown to E54,-
OOO, 900; at the commencement of the
great American war to nearly 9129, OOO,-
900; at the commencement of the great
French war to a little more than $780,
O0O, 600; and that stupendous effort to
the French throne the ef1ete Bourbons;
with the addition of the Irish debt,
brought it, i'm 1877, up to something
more than eS4s. 600, 900. Between that
time and 1888 the government reduced
the debt 100000, 900, but since then it
has begun to roll up again, and now
stands at 9SO0, S4S, S47. Since the pas
sing of the Reform Bill it has increased
no less than 100000, 900, and yet in the
interim we have had the greatest pros
perity, our export trade being now more
than five times what it was in 1888.

A good wife is Heavens last best

cence; her arm the pale of safety, the
balm of his health, the balsam of his life;
her industry his surest wealth; her eco

s.Flirt'' is derived from the customs
of the gallants of Louis Forteenth's
time, who used to address their girlish
friends as 'sman fieurette," or ''my
little f1ower.' The noun f1eurette finally
grew into verb, and the term ''feurette
une demoiselle'' was used in speaking
of attentions paid to beauty. After
the Importation of ''feuretter'' to Eng
land, it degenerated to ''fieuter," and
finally to ''firt." So say the authori-
ties.

HoME.-The only fountain in thu
wilderness of life where man drinks of
water unmixed with bitterness is that
which glshes in the calm and steady
recess of domestic life. Pleasure NAV
heat the heart with artificial excitement.
but when the excitement is gone, an
aching void, that is filed in the holy
calm of domestic bliss when surrounded
by all that tends to earthly comfort, he
should turn his thoughts to a life that
extends through infinity. beyond the
which is an index pointing across the sea
of life to one of happiness or misery.

BEAST BUTLER AND THE JEWS.
Some time age the famous or rather
infamous hero OF Fort Fisher jumped
up i'll Congress and declared with much
emphasis, that Mr.. Mccullough must not
change the securities of the u. S. in order
to crafty bondholders, Jews aud scoun-
drels. No, we can easily understand
why the "bottled up" General hates so
cordially all the bondhOlders; according,
to his rather vague notions of property,
all the bonds in possession of other peO-
pie would be his own, if he had had
occasion so ''tlo work. in the Northern
States, as he did it the South. We are
sure, no bondhoIderS will be found in that
part OF the United States where Butler
was in commando; he has exterpated them
all, and therefore, he hates the few un-
lucky men that escapee the grasp of his
long fingered hand. The Generals
wrath against the Jews is still more to
be excused, are not the Jews the people
to whom the 9TH Commandment was
givenl ''1hou shalt not steal" Can
he be on good terms with a nation who
regard this law as one of the corner
stones of their persuasion2 Who would
have stoned man who stole a ''spoon''
from man in distreSsl Truly, no great
er honor could be conferred upon a man
or a class ofpeople, than to be viturpated
by knave, whose impudenceis as great
as his knavery.-T HebreIC Leader.
