Dear Sir-When about six months old was
yaccInated. Parties who weIe vaccinaled from
the same virus died from the humor. The
humor spread over me TO such an extent that
was rolled in bran TO prevent me from scratch
ing my person. The disease finally settled IN
my head remained in this condition about
twenty years, troubled all the time with sores
oreadlng IN my head aud dlscharginy coTTup-
ton from my ear. AT this time e small kernel
appeared on my neck, gradually increasing in
size until tumor formed OF such immense
size could see II by turnidg my eyes downs
ward. All this time was taking various rem
edies for my blood without any substantial
benefit.
then went to "a prominent physician in
Boston who, during hi, treatment Tor SIX
months, lanced the lumor eight times which
cost me nearly siUU. This lett me with rough
aggravated sore, without at all diminishing the
size OF the Inmor, and in a Slckly, feeble con-
ton. consulted another phy stclan in NatlCk

seemed TO be Undergoing radical change, un-

creased in size until the bunch disappeared,
but my neck still bears the ugly scars of the
sore and lance. am now healthy and strong

POETRY,
e.Be Good 10 YOURSELF

-'Good-by! good-byl" the driver said,
As the coach went off in a whirl:
(And the coachman bowed his handsome
head)
''Be good to yourself, my girl
All! many a fond good-by I've heard
From many an aching heart;
And many friendly farewell word
When strangers come to part.
And I've heard thousand merry quips,
And many a senseless joke,
And many feryent prayer from lips
That ali a-tremble spoke
And many bit of good advice
In smooth proverbial phrase;
And many wish-of little price
For health and happy days.
But musing how the human soul
(Whate'er the fates may will
Still measures by its self-control
Its greatest good or i'll,
Of benedictions, protest,
Mid many shining pearl;
like the merry coachman's best
"Be good to yourself, my girl"

9plitifal,

THE Baltimore America. reminds
the Democrats that it was Hugh Nc.
Culloch, Democrat, who first started
the work of contraction in 1865. II
says:
''In 1866 this same party concurred
with Republicans in approving of con-
traction as the necessary road to re-
sumption. 1t was in December, 1865,
that Secretary McCulloch made his re-
port urging such contraction. On the
18th of that month the following reso-
luton was offered in the House of Rep
resentatives:
"Resotued, That this House cordially
concurs in the views of the Secretary of
the Treasury in relation 10 the necessi-
ty OF contraction of the currency,
with view to as early a resumption OF
specie payment as the business interests
of the country will permit; and we
hereby pledge cooperative action to
this end as speedily as practicable"
"This resolution was adopted, with.
out even reference TO a committee, ty
a vote of 144 to 6. OF those voting in
its favor thirty-one were Democrats,
while only one Democrat voted against
1t. On the passage of the bill to carry
out the recommendation of the resolu-
tion, only one Democrat voted nay in
the House of Representatives, and in
the Senate the negative vote was cast
entirely by Republicans, both the
PENNSYLVANIA Senators, Buckalew and
Cowan, voting for it,"
The policy Of contraction thus inaug-
urated with the unanimous consent of
both parties, was carried on for eleven
months, and S44,0OO,00O of nationaI
currency retired; it was then stopped,
by act of Congress, and the 1000, 900
thus retired has since been reissued;
but the fact remains that an attempt at
contraction was made in 1865, and that
it received the Endorsement OF every
Democrat in Congress.

AUTUMN

'Tis the golden CLEAN of an autumn day,
With the rain raining as if in play
And tender touch upon everything,
As if autumn remembered the DAYS of spring.
In the listening woods there is not breath
To shake their gold to the sward beneath;
And glow as of sunshine upon them lies,
Though the sun was hid in the shadowed skies.
The cooks clear crow from the barn yard
comes,
The muffled bell from the belfry booms,
And faint and dim, and from far away;
Comes the voices of children in happy play
Der the mountains the white rain draws it:
veil,
And the black rocks, cawing across them sail,
While nearer the swOoping swallow skins
Der the steel-gray rivers fretted brim.
No sorrow upon the landscape weighs,
No grief for the vanished summer DAYS,
But sense of peaceful and calm repose
Like that which age in its autumn knows.
The spring-ti longings are past and gone,
The passions of summer no longer are known,
The hervest is gethered, and autumn stands
Serenely thoughtful with folded hands.
Over all is thrown memorial blue,
A glory ideal the real ne'er knew;
For memory Sits from the past its pain,
And suffers its beauty alone to remain.
With half smile and half sigh
1t ponders the past that has hurried by;
Sees it, and feels it, and loves it all
Content it has vanquished beyond recall
o glorious autumn, thus serene,
Thus living and loving all that has BEEN
Thus calm and contented let me be
When the autumn of age shall come to me.

pass for one cent of gold, except so far
as the Government compels creditors
to accept it in discharge of obligations
to pay money, and obliges the wealth
and commerce of the country to adopt
it as a medium of exchange. To this
may be added, as an element OF the
value of the legal tender dollar, the
hope that the Government will some
time or other redeem its paper prom
ises according to their import. The
universal use Of, and reliance upon such
a currency, tends TO blunt the moral
sense, and impair the natural self-de-
pendence of the people, and trains
them to the belief that the Government
must directly assist their Individual
fortunes and business, help them in
their personal affairs. and enable them
to discharge their debts by partial pay
ment. This inconvertible paper cur
rency begets the delusion that the REM
edy for private pecuniary distress is in
legislative measures, and makes the
people unmindful of the fact that the
true remedy is in greater production
and less spending, and that real pros
perity comes only from individual eff
fort and thrift. When exchanges are
again made in coin, or in a currency
convertible into ii at the will of the
holder, this truth will be understood
and acted upon.
When the Governor shall have re-
sumed specie payment, it may be ex-
pected that gold will flow into the
country in obedience to the law of sup
ply and demand; the export of our gold
products will greatly diminish, and
the millions of gold which now consti-
tute only commodity of trade, will
resume its proper functions by becom-
ing again part OF the circulating me-
dium. With the adoption OF the poll
cy of resumption, free banking may
safely be allowed, and the deficit of the
actual amount of coin available for cir
culation can be supplied by bank notes,
convertible into coin, in lieu of incon-
vertible paper currency.
The business of the country has not
yet recovered from the disasters of the
last years 1673) financial panic, the
causes of which it is by no means diff
cult to trace. 1t was the direct and
immediate result OF that excessive de.
velopment of speculative enterprises,
over-trading, and initiation of credit,
which invariably follow large issues OF
incoDvertible paper currency. The al
most boundless resources and energies
of the country must compel the grad
ual establishment of business; but
capital, with its accustomed sensitive
ness to danger, is slow to return to the
avenues of trade. Values are fluctu-
ating and uncertain. Labor receives
its reward in currency that is un-
steady, and whose purchasing power
changes almost daily. Neither the re-
ward of labor nor the value of commo-
dities is measured by any certain stand
ard. The enactment of law, having
for its purpose the substitution of a
sound and stable medium of exchange
for an irredeemable paper currency,
will tend to restore confidence, and
thus cause a revival of industries and
general business.

RObbing the Dead Bodies
A Minister Who Couldn't Stand
the Test.

A well know clergyman was crossing
Lake Erie few days ago upon one o
the lake steamers, and, seeing a small
lad at the wheel steering the boat, ac
costed him as follows:
My son, you appear to be a small
boy to steer so large a boat
'Yes, sir; but you see L can do il
though
DO you think you understand your
business, my son? p
Yes sir, l think l do
Can you box the compass?'
Yes, sir
Let me hear you box it,
Boy boxes the compass.
well, really, you can do it! Let me
hear you box it back ward
Boy boxes it backward.
Il declare, my son, you seem to un-
derstand your business
The boy now took his turn question
asking.
Pray, sir, what may be your busi-
i am a minister of the Gospel
DO you understand your business?'
1 think do, my son.
Can you say the Lords Prayer?'
Yes
Say it,
Clergyman repeats the Lords Pray
er.
We'll, really, you do know it. Now
say it backward
Clergyman says he cannot do it.
You cannot do it, eh? Now you see
L understand my business a great deal
better than you do yours
Clergyman acknowledged himself
beaten and retired.

Stability of the Circulating
Medium.

The following extract, taken from
Secretary Bristow's report for 1874, is
so applicable to the financial question.
now under discussion by the people.
that we commend it to the attention of
the thoughtful citizen, everywhere.
Mr.. Bristow has already won the repu-
tation of being clear-headed states
man, and his views on the currency
question will be read with interest. In
his report to the 43d Congress, he said !:
In country like ours, with varied
industries and extensive commercial
relations among its different sections.
and with other nations and peoples'
stability of the circulating medium is
indispensable to the general prosperity.
Credit, which necessarily enters largely
into commercial transactions, can ONLY
De steady and secure when it has for
It's foundation stable currency. The
quality OF stability in money attaches
only to coin, which, by common con-
sent OF mankind, is the medium of ex
change, and to paper currency repre-
sentative of coin, because convertible
into 1t at the will of the holder. The
reason Is obvious; for coin, besides be-
ing recognized throughout the world
as medium OF exchange, has a high
intrlnslc Value, can be procured only
oy labor, and in limited quantities.
Wnlch cannot be increased by statutory
laws, nor suddenly by other means.
While lnconvertible paper money NAV
DC produced IN indefinite quantities, al
nominal cost, note of the highest
denomination costing no more than
the lowest, and its volume depending
solely on legislative enactment.
The history of irredeemable paDer
currency repeats itself wherever if is
used. 1t increases present prices. de-
Iudes the labOrer with the idea that he
is getting higher wages. and brings .
hctltiOus prosperity, from which follow
initiation of business and credit ann ev.
cess of enterprise in eyer-increasinu
ratio, until il is discovered that trads
ana commerce have become fatally dis.
easeo, when confidence is DESTROYED.
anu lnen comes the shock to credit, fol,
loweu Dy aisaster and depression, and
demand Tor relief by further issues.
A ooilar legal tender note, such as il
now Ia circulation, is neither more nor
less than promise of the Government
10 Pay dollar TO the bearer, while no
express provision is made by law for
paying the dollar at any time what |
ever; nCr is there any existing urovis- |
Ion Tor converting it into anything that
STANDS In tangible ratio to coin dol |
!ar. AS far as existing laws go, there
Is no reason why the legal tender note
VI sae denomination of q dollar should !
