Be Happy as You Can.

This life IL not all sunshine,
No is II yet all showers,
But storms and calms alternate,
AS thcrns among the flowers 1;
And whilc we seek tho roses,
The thorns full Oft we scan:
Still let US. though they wound us,
30 happy as we eau.
This life has heavy crosses,
As well as joys to share,
Aud grief and disappointments,
Which you aud I must bear
Yet, IL Misfortune's lava,
Entombs Hopes dearest plan,
Let us with what is left US
BE happy as We eau.
The sum Of our enjoyment
I, made from little things;
As Oft the brosdest rivers
Are formed from smaller springs A;
by tressuring small waters
The rivers reach their span 4;
30 we increase our pleasures,
Enjoying what we can.
There may be burning deserts,
Through which our feet may go.
But there are given oasis
Where pleasant palm .,rces grow
As IL we may not follow
The path our hearts would plan,
Let US make oil around Us
As happy ss We can.
Perchsncc wo may not climb with
Ambition TO its goal.
Btill lot us answer "prosent"
Whore duty calls the roll (;
And whatever our appointment,
BE nothing less than man,
And, cheerful in submission,
BE happy as VIC can.

their heads move alternately from
side to side, while they occasionally
stop and turn around,
Careful persons lift their feet high
and place them down slowly, pick up
some little obstruction and place it
down quickly by tho side of the way
Calculating persons, with thoir

Modest persons generally step
softly for fear Of being observed.
Timid persons step off from the

Wide-awake persons "toe out"
and have u long swing Of their arms,
while their hands move about mis-

"You must accept or DO posted ;

The precise terms in which tho
valiant ex-lieutonant swore and
fumed for the next quarter, can be
better imagined than described.
He WAS called back to his senses
by his companion asking
"Well, Joe, do you accept their

BONE IDEA OF WHAT IT Is TO BE-THE CURRENCY
QUESTION TO BE PARAMOUNT TO ALL OTHERS.
Special Dispatch to the New York Times.
WAsHISaToN, Dec. 10.
The Republicans have not formally adopted
policy to govern the party action in Congress
during the winter. Much thought has, however,
been given to the subject and considerable dis
cussion. The only question of great Importance
likely to be prominent as party measure is the
currency question. This question the Republic
can leaders feel they cannot afford to ignore,
and if they take position upon 1T
it must be that which won in Ohio.
The leading men among the Democrats are
very desirous Of placing their party on the hard
money platform, but dare not attempt it, and
an opportunity is thus afforded the Republicans
to force the issue and precipitate the division
which seems imminent in the Democratic ranks
the moment they are compelled to vote upon
any declaration of principles regarding the
currency Some Of the Republicans, It is
needless to say, are opposed to any positive ex-
preston from the. party on this question, but
the hard. money Republicans are in earnest, and
they think it is important to know if Republicans
cannot be united In favor of honest money. The
Republican Party in Congress is therefore ike
ly, at no distant day, to take such action as will
place it fully in accord with the President and
Secretary of the Treasury upon the currency
question. There are many ways in which yea
ana nav NOto GILL De lOTCtu, bO ulhb u IcSoiu
must be made. 1t is not likely the Demo-
Gratis will vote together. Some of them
will certainly Dot declare for perpetual green
backs, and others will not vote against in
fation. movement which offers such obvi-
ous advantages to the Republicans is not likely
be to neglected, therefore one of the first move
ments OF the minority in the House will be the
offering OF some resolution which will require
direct, unequivocal declaration from every
member OF the body upon the proposition to re-
establish currency of gold and silver and pa
per convertible into gold at par. The minor.
ity are likely to accept the recommendations OF
Secretary Bristow as the basis of their attempts
for legislation on the subject during this ses-
sion.
The President, in his Message, in treating OF
the Treasury report, suggests that some bet
ter method of verifying claims against the Gov
ernment than now exists through the Court OF
Claims, especially those growing out of the
late war" be devised. He refers to losses being
proved on affidavits Of fictitious or unscrupulous
persons. The whole paragraph s supposed by
the officers of the Court of Claims to refer to
the Southern Claims Commission, first because
the Court of Claims has no jurisdiction over Ca
ses growing out Of the late war except cotton Ca
ses and second, the court does not base it's ac-
ton upon aflidavits, but on the testimony of
witnesses regularly examined and cross-exam-
ined before the court.
