[For the Republican,
DEBT,

1t ia a terrible thing to be in debt. yet more
terrible still is the discoura cement it brings
It's embrace is the hug of bear. and its
grasp is 80 vice-like that when it clutches
its victim his fingers leave burning marks.
He will mock you to your face. though you
be starving. If, i'll your generosity, you
offer him your only coat, with the grasp of
a mser he demands your cloak also. lie is
closer to a man than his shadow, but. unlike
the shadow, debt walks always in front and
continually cries out, ''Pay me that thou
owest; pay me that thou Owest!" In vain
you try to shake him off; you cannot throw
him from you, you cannot deceive, pacify
or appease him; with iron chains he binds
your arms. He is never satisfied unless you
yield your very heart, your very thought to
his slightest exactions. You must run after
him, acquicsce with him, bow down to him.
look up to him as an arbiter whose yea is
final, whose nay means nay.
His dark shadow, like threatening
cloud, hovers above. ever ready to burst,
and rain ruin and misery upon your head.
You fly to the utmost end of the earth, and
you will find him waiting for you. Close
your eyes in sleep. stupefy your brain with
strong drink. he watches over you, and floats
mOckingly upon the surface of your glass.
Yet every honest man knows how to uncasp
his iron arms, how to freeze his haunting
smile. Look with determinatio in his face;
pull off kid gloves and go to hard, honest
labor. Go to work; cast from yon all de-
spondent feeling; hold up your head; be a
man. and do anything that will bring you
an honest penny. Man possesses the will,
if he would exert it. Debt would gradually
yield his place to better friend There is
nothing stronger than the human will. Cur
tain the windows of your soul with it.
Plant it in the cells of your heart, with
the firm determination that the seed
there planted will never yield the fruit OF
dependency. Erase from your tablets the
word failure" determine there shall be no
impossibilities; and with the assistance of
God, the grasping hand of debt will receive
its last farthing. BE thus minded, and the
light which has for time been clouded will
grow brighter and brighter. Throw off the
burden of debt by uuremitting exertions,
by honest and constant labor. Prove to the
world that you are man too superior to
bow your head at poverty's feet, and that
trouble can not overcome and calumny kill.

[''Mr. Joseph Jefferson, who made the applica-
tion to the clergyman to ofciate, said that he re-
gretted the publicity that had been given to the
affair, both for the sake of religion and in view Of
the feelings of the bereaved family. 1t appears
the clergyman first consented to allow the funeral
to take place from his church, but when he learn
ed that Mr.. Holland had been an actor, he with
drew his consent. He added that there was a
little church around the corner from his, where
funerals of actors had taken place, and where he
advised Mr.. Jefferson to make application, and
Mr.. Jefferson left with the characteristic remark

That we may hear some accents sweet,
And kiss, to the end, fond faces

II Is stated by telegraph from


Washington that the reason why
General Schenck's departure to
England has been so long delayed
is that withinethe last few days the
British Minister has received in

ment to settle the Alabama claims,
and that he is empowered to con-
duct negotiations to that end. 1t is
also further stated tha<,the basis on
which the British Minister has been
authorized to settle these claims is
in the highest degree satisfactory
and meets with the approval of both
President Grant and Secretary Fish.
