PAYMENT OF THE DEBr.-In my
annual report to Congress for 1870, |
expressed the opinion that the settled
policy of the country should con'cm-
plate a revenue sufficient to meet the
ordinary expenses of the gogernmea:,
pay the interest on the public debt, and
from twenty Eve to fifty millions Of dol
lars of the principal annually. To that
opinion | adhere and with even
stronger conviction, that the payment
annually upon the principal of the pub
lie debt should not be less than fifty
millions of dollars Large as the rcve
nues of the country have been during
the past three years, our system of tax
alton has not been oppressive to indi-
viduals nor has it in any sensible de-
gree embarrassed the business of the
country, and while relief from taxa
ton is desirable, yet it is more desirable
to maintain the public credit in its pres
ent elevated position, not only as an ex-
ample to other natious, but for the his.
torical value in enabling the govern.
ment to make loans for large amounts,
upon favorable terms. if unhappily in
the future an exigency should require
such loans to be made. The power to
negotiate large loan oc 5 per cent, and
enter upon negotiations for the sale of
bonds drawing q, Al and per cent. in>
terest is derived entirely from an ex-
hibitioa of an honest purpose, on the
part of the people, to maiotain the
public faith, and the consequent ability
on the part Of the government to make
large and frequent payments upon the
public debt.-Report Of Secretary Of
Treasury.

KEEP STRAIGHT AHEAD.-Pay no
attention to slanderers or gossip-mongers.
Keep straight on in your course, let
their back biting die the death ofneglect
What is the use of lying awake nights,
bfooding over the remarks of some false
friend, that runs through your brain
like torked lightning?
What's the use OF getting into wor-
ry and fret over gossip that has been
set a1oat to your disadvantage by some
meddlesome busybody, who has more
time than character +?
aThese things can't possibly injure
you, unless, indeed, you take notice OF
them, and In combating them, give
them character and standing. Ii what
is said about you is true, set yourself
right at once it it is false, let it go for
what it will fetch.
If q bee stings you, would you go to
the hive and destroy it? Would not q
thousand come upon you?
Il is wisdom to say little respecting
the injuries you have received.
We are generally losers in the end il
we stop TO refute all the back ckbitings and
gossipings we may hear by the way
They are annoying, it is true, but not
dangerous, SO long as we do not stop t.
expostulate and scold.
Our characters are formed aud sus-
tanned by ourselves, and by our owr
actions aud purposes, and not by others
Let us bear 10 mind that !" calam ME.
