FOLLY, If NOT ROBBERY. The New
York Mercantile Journal very prop
srly says "According to our way Of
thinking, it is an outrage upon the
people for the Secretary OF the Treas
ury TO use the Nations promises to
pay on demand, for the purchase Of
their promises TO pay, that do not
fully mature for nearly fifteen years
and pay premium therefor Of about
II per cent. Greater folly never wa'
known on the part Of any man."

GOING UP,-In New York Oh Thurs
day gold was selling at l44, which is
higher than any previous sales that
have been made since August last
The appearance Of the market late in
the day was panicly, and it would
not surprise us if the premium contin-
ued TO advance for some time TO come.
The wise man will not base his bust
ness calculations upon the idea Of
any very low rates for gold for many
months to come. We predict that il

The Most Remarkable Father

a most remarkable case of consanguineous
affection and sympathy is that of "a father and
son, living in the adjoining county of Flem-
ing. The father is about forty-iive years of
age and the son not yet twenty. When one
has any complaint the other is similarly affect
ed. II the father has the headache, the son
has 1t vt the same time if one suffers with
toothache, the other also suffers with it : when
one gets arcold, the other gets it also and so
1t goes on through all the catalogue of ordina.
ry complaints. But yet more remarkable still
is the similarity OF their appetites, tempera-
ments and general actions What one likes
and eats, the other likes and eats and what
one dislikes and won't eat, the other dislikes
and won't eat. II one becomes angry, or
gloomy, or happy, to the same degree and at
the same time is the other angry, or gloomy,
or happy. They sneez- at the same time,
sleep at the same tine end the same number
oil hours, and, the most remarkable Of all, they
dream at the same time, and the dream of one

insect has his natural enemy and so has every
bird. Were there twenty birds which devour
insects where there is one now, it would
probably add hundreds oi millions TO the
value OF our annual crops, and I know Of no
mischief they do except 10 take few cher
ries or other small fruits, which ought not tn
be grudged them; indeed every man who has
land would be only fulfilling his duty by set
ting on: few cherry trees especially for the
use of birds. STEPHEN ADAMS.
