The girl had nothing to say the boy

one way, sometimes in another. One Of
the most peculiar ways ofgaining it and
m Office perhaps atthe same time, Is that
chosen by A. s. Brownlow, of Tenn.

The Office seeking Brownlow does not
ask for the position because of his

he enumerates his age, and the fact
that he is "broke down." his numerous

presented as a:greedy wretch who

GREENBACKS AND COUNTER
FEITS.

War Horse Richardson, Gen. Single
ton and their political confreres are
Just now engaged in the not very oner-
Gus task of making unthinking people
believe that paper money is an IN
mixed good and that the greenback,
the currency of tho best government
under the sun, is par excellence, the
best currency under the sun.
But the greenbacks, Notwithstanding
the opinion of these soft.money Dem
ocrats, is not perfect currency. The
experience Of the last decade shows
that, among its other drawbacks, it
can be and is, counterfeited largely.
These counterfeits are so we'll executed
that none but experienced government
detectives can discover them. So
it often happens, no doubt, that when
Gen. Singleton carries in his pocket
book what he fopdly imagines is the
real simon pure greenback, issued from
the government press at Washington
and signed in the unmistakable chiro-
graphy of Spinner himself, it is only
q bit Of green paper which has nevel
seen the inside of the Treasury depart
ment, but is the product, engraving

T Of some expert counterfeiter who does
his work in cellar or garnet, hid from
the eyes Of men and day.
The frequent issue Of greenbacks, es
pecially OF the fractional currency, is
made necessary by the promptness with
which each new issue is counterfeited

John Buuyan's Immortality.

There is nothing, or very little, that is new
to be said about John Bunyan, or ''The Pill
grim's Progress" or allegory as an art, aud
yet it is, just at this moment, so hard to alb
stain from saying something. The irony of
circumstance is so delicious, the victory of
genius over prejudice so perfect. the triumph
of the writer over the squire and lhe magis-
trate-the triumph of the really strong over
the apparently strong-so suggestive of hope.
In 1914, Bedford imprisoned travelling tink-
er for his impudence in preaching what he
had to preach, which, as it happened, was a
moderate form Of Calyanism. In 1874, Bed
ford raises statue, given by duke. to her
greatest citizen, that very travelling tinker
who never thought anything, or did anything
or said anything which the world has cared
to remember, except writing, amidst the
foClness and the stenches of her borough jail,
a story embodying theology he preached.
1t is to the novelist of unique igenius rather
than to the theologian that the duke erects
statue, and of all who approve-that is, all
England-not five per cent. would listen 20
the preacher, or read an alIegOry from whish
his genius is apart. The perfect appreciation
of the book and its writer, the utter content
with both in minds over which the book has
no influence, and to which the writer's per-
sonaiity seems barbarous, are, we believe,
phenomena without parallel IN liter
ary history. That Macauay should wor-
ship Bunyan-that is as strange as that
sculptor should have been found who
could choose Bunyan's character as preach
| er as that which was most distinctive OF
| the man, who lives not because he preached,
| and preached, like thousands more, in vain,
but because, as he sat in gives, and traced
| out probably with pain, the words which
record his thoughts, he saw with dreaming
| ewes the story he relates-the lie Of the man
| who, by whatever road, struggles forward
| toward the far city, the haven Of spiritual
rest. 1t is because he saw the faces he de
picts, and felt the struggles he describes, and
dreamed of the aid that he has extolled, and
heard the talk he has recorded, and not be-
cause he preached, that his name lives Tor
| ever Thousands may have gone TO hear
| him in Southwark, as the dean OF Westmin-
| ster saws but it is not as an earlier SpurgeOn
| that the Enslish speaking millions reverence
| John Bunyan. His preaching like any 9TH
er earnest preaching, may have left seeds in
MANY minds which fruelified in lives the
| world knows nothing of, but his claim on
mankind at large is the work he wrought out
| in solitude and in letters, the one religious
| story which has chained race.-The Spec
tator, London.
