Don't Fret,

FrettinS is the most expensive habit
that king or peasant can indulge in.
1t is the most vsxing habit that sur.
rounding beings can be Subjected to.
IfiRdulged in until it becomes chron-
ic, 1t lie thsn disease. like insanity,
and should be treated rs such.
1t wears deep - grief and as ugly as
sin.
Frstting never did any good, never
repxired any Losses, never affected the
weather, never mended a rent, never
kept . dinner or q heart warm.
nyou must fret, go off somewhere by
yourself and do it. You may not enjoy
IL quite so well, but others will, vastly
more.
II you have Any beauty, health, hap
piness, or friends to lose, you cannot
afford to fret, else yeu lose them, all
that makes life worth having. If any
affair can be bcttered by action, act,
with all your might. If rolling and
tossing away a sleepless night will work
cut q redemption, then roll and toss.
You say you can't help worrying and
fretting and borrowing troublep Your
self-goVsrnmsnt Is OF poor quality
then. You need to be put into subjec-
ton unto yourself Drive down stake
to. day and burn these words in it:-"I
will not fret, though the heavens seem
to be falling. l will not fret, though
nothing but plague and disaster be this
days portion. will net climb noun
taiR until | reach its base. | will not
die twice, whom it is appointed unto us
to die but once. will suffer nothing in
imagination, but oomposedly accept the
reality 1t comes. will do all l can to
avert misfortune, and remember what
lies beyond my reach lies in hands of
One greater than I. To fret, is to lose
in this life and that which Is to come l
cannot afford to fret"

Gold and silver Production.

StatisticIans place the worlds stock of gold
and silver coin in use in 1872, when Columbus
discovered this country, at about sHOOOo,VoO-
Since this period, up to the commence ment o
1853 the amount of gold production which has
been added is estimated at S. JIG, ,s54 43a A meri
ca contributed So $50 s5l iSO; Europe and Asiatic
Russia 81 1866 200, $50; Australia, New Zealand,
and Africa, $3.50, 100000. 1t thus appears that
America has produced more gold than all the
other countries put together.
The aggregate production of silver fer the
same period is set down at 649, 81 GA. or this
amount America contributed S6.0f7. OIL ,S74;
Europe and Asiatic Russia $50, ,40e. 900; Austria
Ira and New Zealand. S., ,5Oe, 900. This shows an
American production of silver to more than
ten times the amount of all the rest Of the
world for period of S76 years.
The etotal product ion of gold and silver du-
ring this period is 81, SIC lO4 The excess Of
silver over gold production is sl.5SS, III, ,2H.-
The annual average of gold for the first
3l2 years is 26s and of silver sl4 279262; for
the next "A years the average of gold is 81. .l0l,-
692 and of silver s27,SI5, and for the last 20
years, frsm 1873 to 1865, the average OF gold il
sl24 75i 600, and of silver siS OOs The annual
average of gold production for the entire period
of S76 years is sl36OS $50 OF silver, ST. 6O9o;
and OF ths two put together, ssl, ,29I T4o. IN the
first period of 3l2 years the production was 3
per cent. in gold, and u per cent in silver; in
the Dext period of Il years it was 42 per cent. in
gold, and IS per cent. in silver; and in the last
period of 20 years it has been y cent in gold
and IS per cent. in silver. This great change in
the relative supply of gold and silver during
the last OF these periods is due to the discovery
and opening of the gold mines in California
and Australia.

Remembering and Forssttinx.

1t is a good thing to be able to remem-
ber, but it ia no less dasisable to be able
to forgot. Happiest among men is he
whose will exercises the strongest con-
troll over his memory, for he can bury
cares in oblivion, and record the pleas
ant incidents OF his life where "every
day he turns the leaf to read them"
Some men can remember nothing Theirs
Is great misfortune, fer experience is
Of no use to them. They in darkness,
mines tha lamp by which wiser feet ere
guiding, and OF ceurss stumble ca they
go. There are others whose vile forte it
is to remember pleasurably all that good
men strive to dismiss from their recol-
lection. Their minds are like filters,
which permit that which is pure and
oxcellont to run through them, but re-
tain whatever is coarse and no1ious.-
Their fund Of immoral Information is in
exhaustible but of facts which illustrate
the best traits OF human nature, or the
wisdom and henevolence Gifts Author,
their memories are bare. There Is large
class that cannot remember benefits
another that never forgets wrongs. In
short, the specialties of memory and of
forgetfulneSs are manifold.

President Grants Pledge for Govern
mental Economy.

| President Grants Pledge for Govern.
mental Economy.
On Saturday last Hon. Henry L.
Dawes addressed a Republican meeting
at Nashua, New Hampshire On the
subject of the economy of the Admins
tration he said:
Now what is the promise for the fu.
ture? What is the prospect on the
question of public expenditures for next
year? Upon that point I propose to
speak plainly-as you can find [ have
spoken plainly elsewhere. [Applause.
1t is true that the bureau officers of the
several departments-and, by-the-by,
more than half of them have been in
herited from the last Administration
in making their estimates for appropri-
ations for the next year, asked too
much. When these appropriations came
to be all aggregated, to be sent to the
House, the whole amount was alarm
ingly too much, and L took the liberty
to tell the men responsible for it that it
was too much [appiause]; and, gentle
men, if you want any assurance that for
the coming year, or for the remaining
years of this Administration as in this
very year, that there will be ne tenden-
cy upward, but rather downward, you
will find it in the answer which the
whole people made demanding that
those appropriations for the next year
should not be laI ger than the appropri-
ations for this year, and in the unanim-
ity in the Executive branch of the Gov
ernment and in Congress, in the work
they have been applying theselves to,
in cutting down the appropriations for
the coming year. There is no division.
There is an earnest, conscientious effort
in all branches of the Government to
see to it that there shall not be dollar
more appropriated for the next year
than for this. TApplause. I was charged
yesterday afternoon by the President
himself with this message to the people
of New Hampshire loud applausel
when | told him that 1 was coming
here. He told me to assure the people
of New Hampshire that this exhibit 1
have made here of the successful collec-
tion, and the economical expenditure of
money during the present year, is an
earnest and pledge of what it shall be
in the year to come. Great applause.
Tell the people of New Hampshire that
during my administration there shall
be no ascending scale of public expendi-
tures[deafening applause], but when
ever and wherever the closest scrutiny
shall disclose the possibility of cutting
off dollar it shall be done. loud and
continued applause.
