John Stuart Mill, who wrote the great work
on political economy, spoke Of an inconverti-
BILE currency in England as follows:
Although no doctrine IN political economy
rests on more obvious grounds than the mis-
chief Of q paper currency not maintained at
the same value with . metallic. either by con-
vertibility or by some principle OF limitation
equivalent to IL; and although, accordingly,
this doctrine has, though not till after the dis.
cusson of many years, been tolerably drum
med into the public mind, yet dissentients are
still numerous, and projectors every now and
then start no with plans for curing all CONNER
cial evils Of society by means of an unlimited
issue of inconvertible paper. There is, in
truth, great charm in the idea. To be able
to pay of the national debt, defray the expens-
es OF the Government without taxation, and,
in fine, to make the fortunes of the whole
community, is brilliant prospect, when once Q
man is capable OF believing that printing few
characters on bits Of paper viii do it. The
philosophers stone could not be expected to do
more.

Why did you make that strange request
Monsieur, what care you now to know =?
Wake not the past Oh, let them rest
Those bright-hued dreams Of long ago.
I've murmured never at my fate;
My heart for thee holds no regret,
Nor pulse-best now Of love or hate!
only wish could forget.
There's CLEANS of silver in your hair,
Deep lines upon your once smooth brow,
And I, alas not maiden fair"
They call mo heartless woman" now!
Long years with patient tireless feet,
I'VE toiled, walled DER life's highway alone
Nor ever paused new hopes to greet:
Few flowers along my way have grovnD
Yes, twenty years Of sun and frost!
Glow waves Of time beat memory's wall y
"Twere better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at oil: :"
Some bard hath sung All. tits not 30
And fain would forget the past.
For vanished Joys leave bittereet woe:
Oh! precious hours that could not Last
Oh, sweet spring time Oh, blissful dream!
Oh, happy days Of hopes and fears
Ere scarce ripple on LIES stream
Had caused me more than transient tears.
Though flowers bloom and birds will sing,
When comes the genial sun and rain;
No change Of seasons eer can bring,
The spring time Of the heart AGAIN.
Oh! ghosts Of hopes 30 deadly fair,
That IN the flush OF youth were slain;
Haunt not my days, Of toll and care.
With bitter-sweet Of JOY and pain.
"We're half way down our life, you say:
You ask me now the truth to tell
All. me! my idol was but clay;
But then Oh, yes! loved you well.
Perhaps was the most to blame,
Those cruel words | spoke in jest
And two lives ne'er have been the same;
Yet you the truth have never guessed.
All, we'll tits past! the years are fed;
We can't recall our youth to-day!
Nor resurrect that love 80 dead
That In its grave we laid away.
Wen clasp hands bove the little mound,
With reverent touch, no tear. no moan,
Say farewell consecrated ground
And each drift down the years alone.

In our notice Of the reported proceedings Of
the late County Convention we overlooked one
matter Of some little Importance, as the secre-
tary's minutes of the proceedings, by an omis-
sion, leave false impression. 1t is this: The
committee to whom was referred the matter,
reported the names Of five persons to the con-
vention for County Committee. The name Of
C. A. Harrison was reported for Chairman.
Before any vote was had on the matter, Mr..
HARRISON addressed the Chair and the eonven-
ton and declined the pronered honor by with
drawing his own name, and consequently was
not before the convention when the balloting
took place.

The day Of fettered limbs and gagged tongues
is gone by. Men will not be ruled by men as
they have been. The children of the future
will call no man master. They will think out
their own faiths, and consecrate their own lives.

mand the respect it has commanded. Each
man will be a priest after the order OF Mel

OF God on his own account, and because Of the
value Of his service for man. 1t demands this
freedom because only among free minds, free
