WASH aNGTON.

WASHINGTON June 26.-All the coupons of
the bonds purchased within the last two years,
excepting those bow passing through the hands
of the accounting officers, have been examined
and found genuine. The total number of bonds
was 109,48l, amounting to $50, 781, $50 The
Committee of Examination recommend that
the portion of the bonds containing the num-
Der aud denomination be preserved for future
reference, and also that duplicate copy of all
the bonds and notes issued by the government
printed on the same quality of paper and prop
erly cancelled, be preserved The statement
that bonds purchased by the government have
been abstracted and sent to England for sale,
and counterfeit bonds substituted for them, is
untrue.

Wantad Hia Head Hold.


DR.. Prime tells this story in the
Observer by way of illustrating the
dron things he is asked to do by per-
sons of whom he had never heard:
A gentleman of fine personal ap-
pearance called upon me and said he
was perfect stranger in the city,
and had come from a great distance
to have a cancer removed by a oele-
brated surgeon, whose frame had
reached the remote village of his res
idence. And as he had long read
my letters and was sure that l was
disposed to do kindness, he had
called to ask me to attend at the
operation and hold his head! Now
if there is anything in the way of
kindness that 1 hate to do, it is to
assist in surgical operations. The
sight of blood letting is disagreeable,
and lift is all the same to my friends,
l would rather be out of the way
when any of them are being cut up.
However, as this gentleman had no
other person in town to whom he
could apply, I readily assented to
his request, and promised to be on
hand at any hour he should appoint,
with the surgeon. Happily the sur
geon assured him there was no oc-
casion for any one to be present, and
Immediately aerformed the opera
ton. You do not know the trouble
which that affair has cost me. As 1
saw the thing before it was removed,
and saw the good man afterward, /
was induced, in an hour of weakness,
to give certificate of the cure. 1t
was published over the whole land,
and now men write to me for more
information; they come to show me
their sores, and they come back to
me from the doctor and insist on ex-
hibiting themselves to me in their
renovated state, that they may be
witnesses to the skill of the surgeon
who has cleaned them out. It is
not pleasant. l wish they would 90
away without calling to say "thank
YOU"

Shall We Meat Again

The following is said to be one of
the most brilliant articles written bv
the lamented George D. Prentice:
"But the fact of nature is inexor-
able. There is no appeal for relief
from the great laws which doom us
to dust. We flourish and fade as
the leaves on the forest, and the
flowers that bloom and wither in a.
day have no Trailer hold upon life
than the mightiest monarch that
ever shook the earth with his foot
steps. Generations of men will ap-
pear and disappear as the grass, and
The countless multitudes that throng
the world to-day will disappear as
the footprints on the shore. Men
seldom think of the great event OF
death until the shadow falls across
their path, hiding from their eyes
the traces of loved ones, whose low
ing smile was the sunlight of exis-
| tence.
death is the antagonism of life,
and the cold thoughts of the tomb
are the skeletons of ali feasts. We
do not want to go through the dark
valley, although its passage NAV
lead to Paradise; and with Charles
Lamb we do not want to lie down in
the grave with princes for bed-fel-
lows. In the beautiful drama OF
Ion, the instinct of immortality, so
eloquently uttered by the death OF
the devoted Greek, finds a deep re-
sponse in every heart. When about
to yield his young existence a sacri-
flee to his fate, his beloved Clemanthe
asks if they shall meet again, to
which he replies:
"'I asked that dreadful question OF
the hills, that seemed eternal-of the
streams that flow forever, of the stars
among whose fields ofazure my spir-
it has walked. AS look upon thy
living face, feel that there is some
thing in thy blood that cannot Who'll
ly perish. We shall meet again,
| Clemanthe,'

The old.Pashioned Motber.

Thank Godl some OF US have an
old-fashioned mother. Not a woman
Of the period, enameled and painted.
with her great chignon, her curls and
hustle; whose white jeRelad hands
never have felt the clasp Of baby fin
gers; but dear old-fashioned sweet
voiced mother, with eyes in whose
oSsar depths thelcve lightshone, and
brown hair, threaded With silver, ly-
ing smooth upon her faded cheek.
Those dear hands worn with toll,
gently guided our tottering steps in
childhood, and smoothed our pillows
in sickness; even reaching out to us
in yearning tenderness, when her
sweet spirit was baptized in the
pearly spray Of the river. Blessed
is the memory of an old. fashioned
mother. 1t floats to us now, like the
beautiful perfume of some woodland
blossoms. The music of other vol
ces may be lost, but the enhancing
of hers will echo in our souls forev-
er. Other faces will fade away and
be forgotten but hers will shine on
until the light from heavens portals
shall glorify our own. When in the
fitful pauses Of busy life, our feet
wander back to the old homestead
and crossing the Hell-worn thres
hold, stand once more in the low
qaint room, SO halloWed by her pres
ence, how the feeling of childish in
nocence and dependence comes ovel
US, and we kneel down in the mol
ten sunshine, streaming through the
western windoW-just where, Ions
years ago, We knelt by our mothers
knee, lisping "Our Father" How
many times when the tempter lures
US on, has the memory of those sa
cred hours, that mothers words, hel
faith and prayers, saved US from
plunging into the deep abyss of sin
Years have filed great drifts between
her and US, but they have not hid
den from our sight the glory of hej
pure, unselfsh love.
