me ?" pleaded the lady, once so naughty.
81 forgive you ma 'am-as free as the
sunshine !" Kathleen answered, softly.
"And you'll stay with me always and
be my friend, Kathleen.
eff God wills it, ma'am."
"And Mrs. Arnott put up her lips to
kiss Irish Kathleens fresh, cool cheeks.
The years that have passed since then
have made men and women of the little
people that Kathleen nursed through the
fever and strangers, who visit in Mrs.
Arnott's house, scarcely know what to
make of the plump, comely, middle-aged
woman who moves about the house, ap-
parently as much at home in it rs the
mistress herself-who is always consult
cd about everything, andtrusted with all
secrets.
SIS she housekeeper, or a servant,
or a relation?" some one once asked.
And Mrs. Arnott replied:
"She is my true and trusted friend,
Kathleen O'Neil."

1T Is BETTER.

Better to wear calico dress without
trimming, if it is paid for, than to owe
the shop-keeper for the most elegant
silk. cut and trimmed III the most be-
witching manner.
Better to live in log cabin all your
own than a brown stone mansion belong
ing to somebody else.
Better walk forever than to run i'll
debt for horse and carriage.
Better to sit by the pine table for
which you paid three dollars ten years
ago, than send home new extension
black walnut top, and promise to pay
for 1t next week.
Better to use the old cane-seated
chairs and faded two-ply carpet than
tremble at the bills sent home from the
upholsterer's for the most elegant parlor
set ever made.
Better to cat thin soup from earthern-
ware, if you owe your butcher nothing,
than to dine of lamb and roast beet
and know that it does not belong to you.
Better to let your wives have fit oi
MYSTERIES than to run in debt for nice
new furniture, or clothes, or jewelry.

com AND SILVER.

The gold and silver product Of the
Pacific coast since 1913 has been some
thing marvellous. In 1913, the year
when gold was first discovered III Cali
fornia, the production is estimated at
S3,OOO,O0O. In 1S49, the year of the
great immigration, the yield increased
to s25, 100000. In 1850 it became $4o,-
OoO, 900. In 1851 it extended to $780,
OOO. 900. In 1853 it became 1863, 900, 600,
and in 1853 the gold yield reached its
maximum figure of S6S,00O,OOO. From
1854 to 1864 the yield varied from S52,-
oO0, 900 to s63, ,OOO, 900 of gold and silver.
From 1865 to 1872 the annual yield has
averaged 500, 600, 900, with no evidence
of probable reduction. The aggregate
production is estimated at Sl,3oo,
100000.

arr ELECTORAL CHINERI.

Our electoral machinery is Just now
being pretty freely discussed by the
press of the country. There seems to
be an almost unanimous opinion that it
is seriously defective, and that the mode
OF choosing our President and Vice
President ought to be speedilyreformed.
As to which plan is the best and safest
there is a wide variance of opinion.
Various modes have been suggested,
and the one which seems most simple
and feasible is the following, presented
to Congress some years ago, but never
acted on:
The electors of President and yice-President
shall be chosen AZ follows:
Two electors of President and Vice-Presidcnt
shall be chosen at large from each State by the
qualified voters therein.
A number OF electors in each State, equal to
the whole numberof Representatives to whicl,
such State may be entitled i'll Congress, shall
be chosen in single districts of contiguous and
compact territory, each containing, as near a.
practicable, al equal amount of population.
Congress shall prescribe the mode of deter
mining the validity of the choice of electors
and of contesting the Fight to the Office o!
President and Vice-Prcsident.

can go back to specie payments we can
go back until our money is equivalent
to gold and silver coin,, and then we
have the best currency in the world. l
will not debate this difficult question !;
but l will tell you, my countrymen,
whether you are Democrats or Republi-
cans, that the people of this country
ought never to cease to agitate this
question until their money is as good as
gold, and then they are on a sure rock,
an eternal foundation. In all ages and
in all countries it has got to be an
axiom in financial matters that gold
alone is the standard of value, and the
planetary laws that govern the universe
are not more fixed and absolute in their
sway than that law which demands that
everything shall be measured by the
gold standard, and the very moment you
make your paper money as good as gold
coin then you have got a currency that
you may live by, die by, and leave to
your children and widows without fear
or favor"

THANKSGIVING.
ANNUAL PROCLAMATION OF THE PREsI-
DENT.
By the President of the United States
of America
A PROCLAMATION.

A PROCLAMATION.
The approaching close of another
year brings with it the occasion for re-
newed thanksgiving and acknowledge
ment to the Almighty Ruler of the
Universe for the unnumbered mercies
which He has bestowed upon us.
Abundant harvests have been among
the rewards of industry. With local
exceptions, health has been among
the blessings enjoyed. Tranquility at
home, and peace with other nations,
have prevailed. Frugal industry is re-
gaining its merited recognition, and its
merited rewards. Gradually, but, under
the providence of God, surely as we
trust, the nation is recovering from
the lingering results of a dreadful
civil strife. For these and all the
other mercies vouchsafed, it becomes
us n people to return heartfelt and
grateful acknowledgements, and with
our thanksgiving we may unite prayers
for the cessation of local and temporary
suffering. / therefore recommend that
on Thursday, the 9th day of November
next, the people meet in their respect
i've places of worship to make their
Acknowledgements to Almighty God for
His bounties and His protection, and
to offer to Him prayers for their continu
ance.
In witness whereof / have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
14th day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1873, and of the independence of
the United States the ninety-seventh.
