scARcITY OF MONEY.

The scarcity OF money is the burden
of Dearly every conversation you hear
on the street Those who have money
hold on TO it under the impression
that times are going TO be tighter
Urdcr The present circumstances the
best way 10 get along and make bust
ness hetttr, is to keep the money in
circulation Let every man who has a
dollar keep Il moving and it will event
ualy come back TO him. Money is Of
no account whatever unless il is kept
iu use, hourded mp it is a curse, kept 10
circulation it is a blessing. Let every
man pay his debts as fast as he can,
and money will be plentier. And
above all let our people avoid the too
common practice of going away from
home to purchase articles which can
be had in our midst. Some people
seem to have kind Of mania for this
,uicidal policy. In their opinion a
coat, pair of pants, dress pattern, a
boot, a Raiter, a yard of lace. a set of
iurs, a-.well just anything at all,
bought in Philadelphia or in New
York-is better and much nicer than
the same goods pur rshased here, even
If tradesmen offered the articles for
the same figures for which they were
purchased elsewhere. Now this is all
wrong, and has a tendency TO cripple
the business of every city where it is
practiccd. Buy your goods and chat
tells, whatever they may be-, al home,
patronize Delaware institutions, spend
your money in our midst, and you
will have done much to make bet
ter times, encourage our business
men and contribute materially to the
general welfare and prosperity of the
city.

THE FEMALE sEDUCER.


Mrs. Ames in the New York independent
Through so many ages man has been
the acknowledged seducer of woman,
the fact has been overlooked and for
given that woman is often the sedueer
Of man. / know such a woman--a
woman of fashion, allied to a man
high in position. She is a woman of
large personal and mental magnetism.
For what good does she use it =? She
uses it to attract men from their al
legiaDee to duty, honor, and a pure
love! She boasted IN a drawing room
that "she never saw a married man
whose love she could not win away
from his wife, if she chose" My
dear husband, said a fond little wo-
man, you could not, nobody could,
take him from me. THE little sim
pleton! declared the Lamia, after
ward. I'm less than six months she
came to me, crying, begging me to give
her usband back to her; that he neg
lected her, that he upbraided her con-
stantly because she was not more like
me. / don't want your husband, l
said. / only wanted to show you that
could do what pleased. to teach you
not to trust in any mans love-" There
is many a Lamia.. She stands the
central figure of many a social circle,
In silken attire, in a luxurious home.
surrounded by all the alluring acces-
sories Of wealth and cultivation. her
self fascinating, if not beautiful, what
wonder that she draws within her
sphere the many homeless, Wifeless.

RELIGION BY LAW.

EDS. GAZETTE: There is at this time
an effort being made to stSecure a rec
ognition of Almighty God and the
Christian religion" in the COnstitu-
ton of the United States. The friends
of the measure have organized their
forces, and there seems yet to be a
fierce struggle for victory between
this party and the great body of the
people who would remain free on this
as we'll as on all other subjects.
What is to be gained by the country
by such recognition? Almighty God
ments, and AS for gaining increasing
sanctity to His name, by bringing it
into legal transactions, that would be
very doubtful at best.
And as for recognizing the Christian
religion, that comes directly under the
head of "church and state . for if the
Christian religion may in this mode
be recognized in our government, then
why not the Jewish and other relig-
ions be recognized too? Protestants,
Catholics. Shakers, and Mormons, all
claim theirs to be THE only true and
genuine christian religion Who are
to Judge which is true and which is
false?
This will, fear, cause serious mis-
chief if it is, as proposed, made a part
of our Constitution.
Our Constitution now proclaims that
Congress shall make no law respect
ing an establishment Of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof" 4"
| This seems to be interpreted by these
theocratic individuals to mean that
Almighty God is not recognized nor
the Christian religion honored in that
instrument. Now, as pure religion is
matter wholly of faith and con-
science, and in no sense of compulsion
and law, it is difficult to see how the
engrafting of this recognition upon
the organic law is to extend genuine
religion in the land. How could it be
spread by the law as fast as It has
spread without the law
Are these men not satisfied with the
freedom they now enjoy, and have en-
joyed so long ? If power is what they
are after, let them be assured they viii
never get it in this country. There is
I too much freedom of thought and ha-
tired of slavery both among professors
| and non-professors of religion.

A BELLIES TOES AMPUTATED.


There lives on Wabash avenue, in a
home of highly respectable exterior, a
young lady, the pride of her mother
and the joy of her papa. She is, or
rather she was, In every respect an at
tractive, graceful and accomplished
girl; and so thought young Mr.. ITO
whom she is engaged, and who, look
ing at her with the eye of a lover,
could see, of course, no blemish in her.
Yet there was one little defect, one
small imperlectiou, which was said to
mar the symmetry of her otherwise per-
feet form. Nature had given her a
pair Of wonderfully small feet. but al
though IN length they were all that a
Chinese beauty might have adored,
they were just little too broad in pro-
portion to their size. She adopted q
variety of expeditents in order to pinch
and squeeze those rebellious little toes
into a proper altitude In short, her
feet gave her no rest by night or day.
Shegwas about tc be married, and. in
view of that event, she resolved to
make double sacrifice.
A few months ago she visited an
eminent surgeon of this city, and made
proposal which caused the practi-
tioner to shudder. He at once decIin-
ed to accede to her strange request;
and there the matter dropped for a
time. More recently the young lady
renewed her proposition, expressing
her firm determination to have It car
ried out. and so persisteutly did she
cling to her resolution that the doc
tor was at last prevailed upon to com
ply with her wish. This was nothing
less than the amputation of the small
toe of each foot, which would reduce
the member to a size exactly proper
toned to its length. The operation
was one demanding the incest skill on
the part of the surgeon, and a few
days since vas successfully performed,
with TIE consent Of the young ladY's
relatives and friends. The obnoxious
toes have been extracted just like
teeth, leaving the feet somewhat dis
figured for a time. but suited to fit in
to the smallest, daintiest little boot
that can be fashioned. The young
martyr is now in bed, waiting patient
Iy for the wound to heal.

Nelly and Kate saw 3 wonderful sight
Where the IRE had faded away;
A funny old man. with q pipe as funny,
A flowing white beard and q face so sunny,
That it gave the pale moonlight golden
And seemed to warm the glittering snow.
The funny old man was laden with toys,
And he tossed them down without any

Not a whit frightened were Nelly ana Kate,
For they thought iE q dream lit was SO very
