Henry Ward Beecher says A man
might as well expect to take nitrate of
silver-whose nature is to turn him to
lead color-and not have the doctor
know it, as to expect he can form evil
habits and pursue mischievous courses
and not have it known. 1t does not
need the sheriff to search ont and reveal
the kind of life that you are living.
Every law of God in nature is an officer
after you. 1t does not require court,
Judge or jury to try and condemn you.
All nature is q courtroom, and every
principle thereof is part Of that court,
which tries and condems you. Do not
think that there can be such mon
strous misadiustment Of affairs as that
You can do the work of the devil and
have the remuneration OF an angel
We haven't sufficient acquaintance
with the angelic hosts just now to ascer
tain what remuneration they get, bu
don't believe they get 800, ZOO a year b
any means.

cNE ESSENTIAL.

In every Eastern paper that we pick
mp we find, just now, columns OF elabo-
rate editorials on the matter OF currency
imitation and resumption. 'Twould seem
as though the entire Eastern fraternity
of journalists had resolved themselves
into committee of ways and means to
discuss the matter. The distinctive lines
seem to be more of geographical than
a political nature, the North and East
goipg for hard money, the South and
West clamorous for greenbacks and more
of them. Some of the sblest inanciers
and subtlest brains in the country are at
present discussing those issues, and If
there is any truth that sin the multitude
of counsellors there is safety" then we
are thrice armed. Amid the clash Of
public opinion one point or proposition
seems to be universally accepted, viz:
that tie present gold drain is weakening
our resources and cripplins our very life
All seem to agree on. this point, yet few
give place to it. Every one OF those
self constituted Curtiuses, eager to
leap in the gulf and save the country,
comes with little plan warranted to be
the one thing needful, and modes and
means Of adjusting values and obviating
disaster, are jostling each other on the
