1t is precisely because gold and silver
money is so real; because, being real,
it is excessively expensive; because it
Is risky to move about; because it wears
away, and may be lost; because, in fact,
it has all the Inconvenience Of reality,
that il has been found necessary to re-
place it, as much as possible, by coun-
terfeit. This is, indeed, most curious
logic. The economists first prove to us,
by glowing and triumphant arguments,
that money ought to be, must be, is
bound to be, a reality; and then they
90 on, glowingly and triumphantly as
before, to demonstrate that fiction
must necessarily be employed to replace
that reality. OF course their arguments
are convincing; of course 1t is imperti-
nent to discuss them; Of course It Is
indispensable to have sovereigns because
they are genuine money; and of course
1t is consequently indispensable to have
bank notes because they are fictitious !;
of course reality is the essential parent,
and of course sham is the inevitable
child: of course a bank note is the
necessary product of sovereign, and OF
course sovereigns would be altogether
incomplete without bank notes. All
this is without doubt quite true, and yet
it does not look like either truth or
common sense; but the economists re-
auire us to believe it, so we bow down
our heads and meekly believe. But
faith does not imply comprehension
faith is generally supposed to be pro-
cess by which we admit what we cannot
understand, and that definition of II
applies most certainly to this case. OuI
weak intellect might have grasped the
logic of the economists If they had con-
tented themselves with recording that
as we have not got enough metallic
money for our wants, we have therefort

ANGELUS.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

Softly drops the crimson sun;
Softly down from overhead,
Drop the bell notes one by one,
Melting in the melting red,
Call TO angel ears unsleeping.
Day is done; the night is dread;
Take the worle in care and keeping.
Set the white robed sentries close.
Wrap our want and weariness
In the surety OF repose;
Let the shining Presences.
Bearing fragrance on their wings,
Stand about our beds to bless,
Fright away ali evil things.
Rays of Him whose shadow pours
Through dark lives brimming glory,
Float DER Lonesome woods and rooms,
Float above the pillows hoary.
Shine through night and storm and sin.
Tangled fate and bitter story.
Guide the lost and wandering in"
Now the last red ray is gone.
Now the twilight shadows HE;
Still the bell notes, one by one,
Drop and spread and seek the sky.
Praying, as with human lip;
angels, hesrkeni Nigh. is nigh,
Take us to thy guardianship"

Zone star Diaereth from Another In
Glory"

This declaration of Paul has deeper
and broader meaning than has been
attributed to it by many expounders of
the Scriptures. Science has developed
the fact, that each elementary body has
its own specific velocity of combustion,
and consequently produces cores
ponding velocity of molecular undula-
ton. The velocity of combustion also
determines the length of undulations
and their amplitude. The color Of light
is different, according to the length of
the undulations producing the light,
and in intensity varies with the ampli-
tude Of the undulations. BY burning
different elementary bodies in the elee-
trio light the velocity of their combus-
ton and the length and amplitude of
their undulations have been measured
by the spectroscope, and thus the factors
of the different colOred lights have been
accurately determined. A red light is
due to a comparatively long undulation,
while a violet light is due to a short un
dulation, and white light is due to the
coexistence of undulatiOns of all possible
lengths.
With these facts it may be conceived
that by intercepting the rays of the sun
and the stars, that the velocity of their
combustion and the length and ampli-
tude of their undulation may be accur-
ately determined. When this is done,
the elements being consumed are known,
and the color of the light produced.
Modern astronomy has determined
that some OF the stars are suns that shine
with pink, or emerald, or amber light.
And hence the planets around these
suns are bathed in flood of pink, or
gold, or amber; while We are bathed in
white.
How great and glorious is the universe
of the Lord God Almighty! He hath
endowed the ultimate atoms with their
inherent forces, enabling them to form
the structures of material life, with all
their various shapes and sensations, of
usefulness and beauty. The deeper
science delves beneath the known, the
more infinite do His works appear.
Every unfolding fact adds new lustre to
the inspired revelation of His Word.
How truthful the Psalmist's declaration,
"The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the armament shOweth forth His
haudiwOrkr -

Christmas Festivities.

From an article in Appletons' ABseri-
can Cyciopedid," revised edition, entitled
"Christmas," we select as follows :
The common custom of decking the
houses and churches at Christmas with
evergreens is derived from ancient Druid
practices. 1t was an old belief that
sylvan spirits might flock TO the ever
greens, and remain unnipped by frost
till milder season. The holly, ivy,
rosemary, bay, laurel, and mistletoe,
furnished the favorite trimmings, which

who was renowned for her personal
beauty and her noble connections. The
wedding was to be a grand affair: but,
unhappily, the familiesof the betrothed

weather to be ordered for the occasion.
The parents of the bride thought it
good luck that shower should fall on
a bridal procession. The bridegroom
and his friends objected to having their
good clothes spoiled thus. and TO the
damper which rain would put upon
their merriment. There was danger
that the match should be broken off,
when a very astute old fox suggested
a compromise. They might have sun
shine and rain together. This happy
thought was received with acclama-
tons. and the order was given accord

Dried up Animals Coming 10 Life
Well. Wonders never cease You'll
excuse my bringing forward a dried
up old adage. my chicks, as | wish to
apply it strictly to something the birds
told me-which is, that certain crea-
lures of the worm and small fry order
can be dried up completely, kept IN
that state for years. and then be
brought to life again, Now it's bad
enough to be a worm any way, but
lust conceive the state of mind a worm
must be in who is brought 10 life after
having been dried up for a dozen years
The pretty schOolmistress and Deacon
Green were talking on this subject In
the twilight last evening. Speaking
of a minute sort of worms known as
vinegar eels, she said that 1t was
known to the bOtanist Linneus that
these worms could I've dried up and
then revived. Also, that she had read
that somebody named Baker, IN l11j,
found that the young of 4RJHiitHid
tritici, inclosed in diseased grains of
wheat, could be revived, even after n
desiccation of twenty seven-years, by
being moistened with water and other
naturalists observed the same fact for
shorter periods.

scorning facts, they mount to principles,
and assure us, without inquiring
whether we understand them, that,
according to those principles, money Is
governed by two fundamental laws-the
first, that it cannot be money unless il
is intrinsically worth what it pretends
to represent; the second, that money
which has an intrinsic value is so full
of disadvantages, defects, and incon-
veniences, that it is Indispensable TO re-
place it by paper, because the latter has
no value at ail.-Black1cood.

Anecdote of f4nderseR.-A friend of
mine, who was quite an old boy when
this happened, once came very near
losing his eye-sight. He was brought
to the hospital, where nobody knew
him, and the room was darkened. so
that he could see nothing. not even
his own hand when he held it up be-
fore his eyes. He had lain in this way
for a whole week, and almost wished
he was dead, when one evening there
came gentle tap ON the door, and a
man entered and sat down on the bed
side. NV friend did not know the man;
and even if he had known him, II
would have been too dark to see his
face.
81 am Hans Christian Andersen,
said the man. 81 heard that you were
sick, and have been sick myself. and
know what it is. Would you allow me
to sit down and talk to you. and tell
you some storiesf y
NV friend. naturally enough, was
very grateful. and did not object To
being entertained. And almost every
night for two weeks Andersen re-
turned. When the thick curtains
could be drawn aside from the win
dows, he read aloud. mostly his own
writings, for he liked better To read
his own stories and poems than those
of others. This is only one of a hun
dred incidents of the same kind which
the people in Copenhagen tell of him ;
and no one will wonder that, with all
his peeuliarities and odd habits, they
could not help loving him. He was a
dear and belovedfrien in every house
hold from the King down to the poor
est artisan, every one knew and hon
ored him. Every door and every heart
was open to him. They no longer lee
tured and criticised him; every page
that he wrote was eagerly grasped by
young and old, and read with pleasure
and gratitude.-St. Nicholas.
The Pear Tree.-Old Rupert sat, at
the close of day, in the shade of a beau
tiful pear tree which stood before his
house, while his grandson ate of the
pears, and could not cease pralsIng the
sweet fruit
Then said the grandfather

years ago, stood here. when there

II. V. M0RTHIMER, .

The Philadelphia Times, speaking of
the action of the Lancaster Convention
on the third term question, says that
''it came upon the President like clap
of thunder from clear sky. He was
prepared for mild resolution, some,
thing after the Kentucky deiverance,
denounclng as slander the charge that
he is seeking another nomination, but
without declaring positively against a
a third term, but he was not pre-
pared for such a resentful slap in
the face as came from the Cameron
Convention. The President felt out
ragged by the action of the Convention,
and manifested much temper about It,.
Especially was lie greved at Cameron,
but confessed that he was not greatly
disappointed, for lie did not trust the
veteran Pennsylvania Senator, and he
felt that his friends who have been so

purpose to see that the law forbidding
the assessment of Office. holders for poll
ilical purposes shall be rigidly enforc-

a strong recommendation to his official
or personal favor. The President is
unshaken in his belief that the people
would rally to his support and trium-
phantly elect him again if the politici-
ans did not arbitrarily interfere. His
obstinacy is more dogged on this issue
than is usual even for Grant, and he
will WELD the whole power of the Gov

party as soon as it is clearly ascertain
