FINANCE AND TRADE.

Careful observers have not failed to
notice that the closing year usually casts
upon the general merchandise and prod
use markets shade of dulness and stag.
nation that is incident to no other sea-
son. Business men, at this period, are
generally occupied in the adjustment of
yearly accounts, not deeming it an ap-
propriate time for launching out in new
enterprises. A retrospective view of
the expiring year reveals much that
could very pleasantly be forgotten, as
well as much that could be recalled with
considerable satisfaction. Although the
average result is, perhaps, not quite
equal to general expectation, the phil
osophic mind settles down to the con-
soling reflection that it might easily
have been very much worse. In the
race for wealth there must necessarily
be losses as we'll as gains; but, while the
shrinkage in values and the hard fea-
lures of che discount market have en-
tailed a good many hardships, there is
reason to believe, from the compare
lively small number of failures among
prominent firms, that the mercantile
classes. as a general remark, have safe
ly weathered the toughest of the finan-
cial storms, and will have a more placid
state of affairs after the turn of the year.
The outlook of trade is, on the whole,
more encouraging than at the same pc
riod last year. Our merchants, although
having reduced means from the general
decline in prices, have settled down into
q more conservative mood, aud are dis
posed to regulate their expenditures so
as to CORES pond more closely with their
income: In brief terms the great mass
of the people have been compelled to
retrench and economise, and this, in
turn, has reacted upon all branches Of
trade, leading to decided fall in most
kinds Of merchandise, and consequently
curtailed profits, This process, though
very trying to business men, is to be re-
garded as wholesome, and will lead
eventually to good results.

THE COMING SYSTEM OF EDucAr1oN.-
1 am as convinced as man can be that
the system of public education is ON the
eve of very extensive reform The
world has been taught words dictated
by authority thus far. The world needs
and training in independent
thought, and it is only the study Of ma
ture which will give us the last. But I
am satisfied that the basis of the future
of education will be the contemplation
of the works of nature-no longer the
study of the languages, no longer the
study of the human mind, no longer the
process of mathematical reasoning, for
though they must form part of libe-
raj education, they should come after
the organs have been trained through
observation, and the mind taught to ar
que by comparing these observations

Hymen in 1863.

To begin with the lady: Her locks
strand upwards over an immense cush-
ion that sat up like an incubus on her
head, and plastered over with pomatum
and then sprinkled over with q shower
of white powder. The hight of this tow
er was somewhat over foot. One sim
gle white rosebud lay on its top like An
eagle on haystack. Over her neck
and bosom was folded lace handker-
chief, fastened in front by q bosom-pin
rather larger than a copper cent, con-
tanning her grandfather miniature set
in gold. Her airy form was braced up
in q satin dress, the sleeves as tight as
the natural skin of the arm, with q
waste formed by bodice, worn on the
outside, whence the skirt flowed off and
was distended at the top of an ample
hood. Shoes of white kid, with peaked
toes, and heels of two or three inches
elevation, enclosed her feet, and glitter
ed with spangles, as her little pedal
members peeped curiously out. Now
for the swain: his hair was sleeked back
and plentifully befowered, while his
queue perfected like the handle of skill
let His coat was sky-blue silk, lined
with yellow his long vest of white sat
in, embroidered with gold lace his
breeches of the same material, and tied
at the knee with pink ribbon. White
silk stockings and pumps with laces, and
ties OF he same hue completed the ha-
bill. .ents Of his neither limbs. Lace
cuffies clustered around his wrist, and a
portentous frill worked in correspond
ence, aud bearing the miniature of his
beloved, finished his truly genteel ap-
pearance. -.7a5

The Agricultural Year-1869.

The Commissioners of Agriculture in
noting the vicissitudes Of the passing
year, Gays, very truly no doubt, but ia
words not very complimentary to the
agricultural intelligence Of the country
that its product ions might be increased
hundreds Of millions of dollars by more
thorough communion Of soil, proper
modification and amelioration, and by
draining of saturated or tenacious land /;
and he adds.
-assThe loss from the want OF these ag-
ricultulal improvements, serious in any
season, is exceptionally large the pres
ent year. As another result, wider
range is seen in the rate Of production
per acre extending from decided success
to utter failure"
OF all productions, cotton and corn
have yielded the most, simply because
the markets are not glutted. The de-
preston in the wool market for the past
years, it is said, has been shared by all
other countries. It is said that no less
than 1000, 900 culls were killed for felts
and tallow. The home consumption is
reported as increased from 20 to 40 per
cent. since 1860, and the South is now
sharing largely in this increase. At the
commencement of 1869 there were sc
cotton mills from Southern States re-
ported to the National Association of
Cotton Manufacturers, running 225, ,063,
spindles, and consuming 81, lis, $50
pounds. The cotton manufactured in
the U. S. in 1860 was 422. 804, ,975 pounds
in 1868, 450,O00,000 pounds.
s'The planting Of new lands Of the
West with wheat is removing westward

their com bination and advance of tolls

are increasing in equal ratio the cost of

COnSUmptlOns
The Three Remedies. "ScHENcK's PULNoNIC
SYRUP" for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis
and every form of Consumption. The peculiar ac-
ton of this medicine rpens the ulcers in the lungs
promotes the discharge of the corrupt matter by
pectoration Purifes the blood. and thus cures Con
sumption, when every other remedy fails.
"Schenck's Sea-Weed Tonic" for the cure of Dys-
pepsia Indigestion. and all diseases arising from
debility This tonic nvigorates the digestive organs
supplies the place of tn. gastric juice when that is
deficient and then enables the patient to digest the
most nutritious food. 1t is sovereign remedy for
| all cases OF Indigestion.
"Schenck's Mandrake Pills." one Of the most VAL
liable medicines discovered, being a vegetable
substitute for calome and having all the useful prop
critics ascribed to that mineral, without producing
any of its injurious effects.
To these three medicines DR.. J. II. Schenck of
Philadelphia, owes bis unrvaled success in the
| treatment of Pulmonic Consumption. The Pulmon-
ic Syrup ripens the morbid matter, discharges it,
and purifes the blood. The Mandrake Pills act up
on the liver remove all obstructions therefrom give
the organ healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint,
which is one of the most prominent causes of Con-
sumption.
The Sea Weed Tonic invigorates the powers of
the stomach and by Strengthening the digestion and
bringing it to a normal and healthy condition inn
proves the quality of the blood by which means the
formation Of ulcers tubercles in the lungs be-
comes impossible. The combined action of these
medicines, thus explained, will cure every case
of Consumption, if the remedies are used in time
and the of them is persevered in sufficiently to
bring the to a favorable termination.

STANTON DIED PooR.-These words
contain the great mans best eulogy.
With opportunities to accumulate mil
lions, he sacrificed his private income as
he did his personal health, in the public
service. Not only did he scorn the arts
Of money making in high office, and
keep himself 80 clear that the rankest
rebel never accused him Of corruption,
but he refused New York gift of one
hundred thousand dollars, and that so
quietly that the fact was not known until
after his Death Commercial.

THE INSIDE DOG IN THE FIGHT


You may sing of the dog, the peaceful dog,
The outside dog in IT, 1eht, a
Who quietly eats Of his h0ne at home
And sleeps in the pale noonlight;
But give me the dog, ths brave old dog,
Whose scars are his great delight,
And who always fights the cause of his friends
The inside dog in the fight.
I want no dog, no outside dog,
Who knows the nature of fear,
And cowardly leaves his good old friends,
And fees when danger is near. ..s
But give me the dog, the noble dog,
VINO always will stick to you tight,
In the hour Of peace, and the hour of war
The inside dog in the 6ght.

Who will meany share of our bone,
And when it is gone, will wander away
And leave you to battle alone.
But love the dog, the good old dog
Who will shed his blood with delight,
To help his friends. his good old friends
The inside dog Of the fight
You may sing Of dogs II outside dogs,
OF inside dogs, or their haus,
Of upper dogs, or under dogs,
OF other dogs, and their rows;
But Of all the dogs have ever known,
None gives me such pure delight,
As that noble dog, that brave old dog,
Who sticks by you in the fight.
