We stated yesterday that The Wilmington Gas
Company charged 50 per thousand feet. 1t makes
deduction OF ten per cent, which reduces the
charge to s2.7o per thousand feet. One of the
Directors OF the Company informs us that there
are only six places in the United States where
gas is furnished at lees cost lie also says the re-
mark that Boston furnishes gas al sl.l5 is cTo-
neous. We make this correction without know
ing the fact to be so. We found the price stated
in one Of eur exchanges and copied it for infor-
nation, as any other item of news.

A report from Washington that an interchange
OF views among the Senate Finance Commi'.ee
has made il certain that the committee will re-
commend that ala reserves Tor circulation should
be abolished. 1t is held that the bonds deposited
with the Controller at the rate of 100 for W max
ing currency secure enough; and in the simple
matter of ultimate payment SO 1t does. But there
is something more than this required. Inc green
backs ara a legal tender and bank notes are not,
and il the banks are not required to redeem their
notes i'll groenbacks how is the money TO legally
pay debts TO be Obtanedp Such provision Is
hardly likely to carry through Congress, and the
mere suggestion is but additional evidence OF the
difficulty OF accomplishing anything on the sub
lect at this session Of Congress.

Our neighbours wife is the most re-
markable woman we ever saw. She
is cheerful, good-natured, Intelligent,
Industrious and benevolent almost to
fault--a good church-member, virtu-
Gus, and loves her husband and chill
dren and lives in peace with her
neighbors. But with all these excel
lent qualities, she is not an agreeable
companion. She nearly runs her hus-
band crazy. He is devoted to her and
can hardly deny her anyarequest. The
fact is, he nearly runs his legs off to
crafty her whims. Yes, whims-
nothing else. Poor man; | am really
sorry for him, he always looks so
weary and anxious He never comes
in her sight but he is called upon to
ge on all errand or do something. The
trouble is she takes too much control
of everything, and especially of her
husband. But this would not be OBJ
jectionable if she did not change her
mind so often; and we would not OBJ
iect to this change of mind if she
would keep tito herself; but she. wants
everybody and especially her husband
to change when she does. If she is in
happy mood, she wants her husband
to be jolly all the time. If she is
melancholy, she thinks it wicked
to be always laughing. If she
feels like promenading, she is
astonished that her hurband is ever
inclined to sitdown and rest. Ii she
is inclined to lounge and be quiet, she
San see no reason for all this restless
running to and fro. There are times
when she believes everybody ought to
dance and be merry; at other times
she thinks it sinful to dance or play
parlor games. And her poor husband
must change as she changes, in every
thing, or she will weep, or feel greatly
injured Take her all in ali she is a
failure. Yet she lacks but one thing;
she has no balance wheel, or governor
in her brain. Her heart is all right
and we hope she will read this and
add governor to her brain.

Monica.

The mother OF the great Augustine,
who FOR fifteen years has so largely
moulded the creed of the Church, the
devout Monica, had, in her own house
hold, the most bitter trials. Her hus-
band, a proud and Sensual pagan, hat
ing the cross and hating her for yhav-
ing embraced the cross, would not only
annoy her with all manner of heather
orgieO inrthe house, but being a man
of violent temper would turn upon her
the fury of his passion. Especially
did he seek to osthwart her religious in
fiuence over their son. But through
all this Monica was so gentle, so kind,
so meek, so patient, SO faithful, that at
length she softened the tiger to lamb
and her husband before he died ac-
evil example outlived him in his son ;
and Augustine at twenty, beautiful in
person, brilliant in intellect, had all
The ungodly impulses of his fathers
fiery nature, strengthened by indulg-
ence and now left without restraint.
Monica had given him to God; she had
scattered divine truth along his path
from infancy upwards; and elinging

followed him still with her patient
love. One day she stood before her
pastor, the tears streaming down her
careworn cheeks, and besought him to
use his Influence with her to reclaim
her son. " Waltz said the man Of
God;l wait patiently; the son ofthose
tears cannot perish.D or 213T
Now II popular teacher OF rhetoric,
Augustine leaves Carthage, which he
had found II "chaldron of unholy
loves,n to seek his fortune at Milan,
the Court ofthe Empire. There while
winning applause as a rhetorician, he
pursued the same goddess and dissolute
life amid the gayeties and dissipations
Of the capital. His mother followed
him across the sea and into strange
lands, and for thirteen years of lis
manhood she carries this, great sorrow
of apostate son, waiting upon him
in love, waiting upon God in faith,
saying, H' will see him Christian
yet before I die" At length patience
has her perfect work. Before Monica
dies, Augustine lives. AS her star oil
hope which has been the only light OF
his stormy seas, sinks to rest, his sun
arises TO illumine the church of God
from age to age. -1HomSons "ChriS'
