The following is an extract from
the great speech of Daniel Webster
in the Girard VIII case. 1t is of it.
aelf sufficient to have entitled the
author to the appellation which he
bears of the Immortal" :"
political eminence and profess
sional fame fade away, and die with
all things earthly. Nothing of char
acter is really permanent but virtue
and personal worth. These remain,
whatever of excellence is wrought
into the soul, itself belongs to both
worlds. Real goodness does not at
tach itself merely in this life-it
points to another world. Political
or professional reputation cannot
last forever: but a conscience viod
of offence before God and man is an
inheritance for eternity. Religion.
therefore, is a necessary and indis-
pensible element in any great human
character. There is no living with
out it. Religion is the tie which
connects man with his Creator, and
holds him to His Throne. If that
tie be all sundered, all broken, he
floats away q worthless atom in the
universe-its proper attractions ali
gone, its destiny thwarted, and its
whole future nothing but darkness
and death. a man with no sense of
religious duty, is he whom the
scriptures describe in such terse
but terrific language, as Giving
without God in the world Such a
man is out of his proper being, out
of the circle of ali his duties, out of
the circle of all his happiness, and
away, far away, from the purposes
OF his creation"

Commodore Maury was not only
. scientific man of the highest class
but a Christian. His diving testi-
mony in favor of Christianity is
worthy of record and preservation.
The Southern Churchman SAYS
"fwO days before his death he call
ed his son Col. Il. l.. Maury, to his
bedside and dictated the following
prayer which he composed and used
daily for nearly forty years-'ever
since that twenty-ninth of October
when l was laid upon my back at
Somerset, Ohio;' and which he de-
sired him to transmit to his absent
children should they not arrive in
time. He referred TO the accident
which fractured his leg aud lamed
him for life. He also stated that
ereTy petition contained in the pray
er Rad been granted: I'd
Lord Jesus, thou Son of God, and
Redeener of the world, have mercy
upon me; pardon my sins, and teach
me the errors of my way. Give me
new heart and a right mind. II
Teach me and all mine TO do thy
viii, and in all things to keep thy
law. And teach me also to ask
those things necessary for my. eteg-
nal life. Lord pardon ine Tor an my
sins; for thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory for ever
and ever.
''In 1910 Commodore Maury Con-
nected himself with the Protestant
Episcopal Church. Long before his
loved ones felt that he was indeed
going to die, Commodore Maury
felt it-knew il. He summoned
them all (fOr they were all presently
to his bedside and told them he was
dying, but not to grieve, for he was
at peace with God and was ready
and anxious to 90. During the for
ty-eight hours just prior to his
death he ate nothing, and talked of
the glories that soon awaited him.
A little before the spirit departed,
and when thought speechless, he
was asked to give a sign ii all was
well. lie calmly replied, 'All is
well-ail is WELL and then fell a
sleeD."

A young man in Bean Hill, Con-
necticut, was wanted as witness In a
liquor case. He saw the constable
coming for him, rushed into tame

room, where the hair was loosened
from the skin by steam. The engi-
neer innocently let on the steam,
and the consequences is that the un-
willing witness is now as bald as

why a ChIId Loves sugar.

The craving of children for sweets
is well known to be one of the most
imperioas of their appetites. 1t

may be that sugar performs in their
systems the part enacted by fatty
substances in the bodies of adults.
As it undergoes OXidation-is burnt

may be the source of that power

In a long and well written article
in the Inter Ocean of the 4th, we lind
the following paragraph concerning
the financial condition OF the country
four years ago and at the present time
ssOn the 4th Of March, 1869, the new
President found gold worth l3l 4 !;
his second term commences with gold
at l141s. Four years ago United
States bonds were worth in London
81 Is, and in Frankfort S61s. Now
they are worth 08A in London and
951s in Frankfort. Upon inaugura-
ton day in 1869, the public debt was
~, 544 ,336, 904. On this 4th Of March,
1873, it is only $2,l57, 10000. The
four years of President Grants Adj
ministration represent reduction in
the premium ON gold of 1874 per cent,
an advance Of 81 per cent. at London,
and of II per cent. at Frankfort, on
the value Of American securities, and
q liquidation Of $36S,g56,504 OF the
national debt. No comment could add
to the force Of this financial exhibit,
| except to direct attention to the equal
ly gratifying fact that during these
four years, while the Government
credit has steadily appreciated, as
shown by The decrease in the gold pre-
MUM and the advance in American
securities in Europe; and while taxa
ton has been maintained at a point
sufficiently high to enable the Govern
mcnt to discharge fifteen per cent. OF
its entire obligations, the general pros
perity Of all the people has increased
rather than diminished"

Err. Shankland, of Dubuque, gives
flattering account Of the power and
efficiency ofthe Order of Patrons OF
Husbandry. He says the order has
been of incalculable benefit to the
farmers of Iowa during the past year,
aud it has cheapened the price of agri-
cultural implements to the members OF
the order fully twenty-five per cent,
aud Of other purchases in proportion.
Not only that, but arrangement are
now being perfected to bring the pro-
ducer and consumer together into .di-
rect business relation, doing away en-
tirely with middlemen. He has now
an order for car load Of bacon. flour
aud lard from the Changers of Charles
ton, South Carolina, and will ship
flour and corn and wheat thencefor.
wards directly TO that market. Wheat
is also being shipped directly to New
York, the order and money coming
to purchasing agents, selected by the
State Grange, who are paid for their
services by that organization. This
direct Interchange of purchases, secur-
ing the lowest figures from immediate
producers, and without the cost Of i'm
termediate commission, is one of the
methods of Grange operation. Speci-
al contracts by local organizations with
manufacturers and merchants is anoth-
or advantage. In short it is an appli-
cation Of the cooperation principle,
which Mr.. Shankland says, the testi-
mony at the Des Moines meetings
proves to have been thus far succcss-
full. With it, rs with everything else,
much will depend upon the honesty
and business competency of the agents
employed.
