Am AND PrRPOsE.-It is sad to con-
template an aimless and purpOseless eXis-
tence-goldea youth gliding by, wasting
precious opportunities, no aim, no object
in view, Just like ship under full sail
and well manned, but no rudder, only
drifting, no harbor in view, going with
the tide, o. perhaps with rudder in good
working order, but no port in view, only
sailing you know not where. Have an
aim in life and noble one. Aim high
and y0u viii hit something above your
level. Are you student: Be not salts
fed To get through your studies or reel
tatiOns without ceuSure from your teach
er, but study hard to acquit yourself With
honor; be no. content TO creep along on
the level, bat walk. aye, even run up the
rugged hill where honor sitteth 1t the
peak. Are yOu mechanic: If so, learn
your trade well, not contentiag yourself
with being an average workman, but
strive 20 become master of your art, al
ways bearing in mind the old adage.
..W hat Is worth doing aG all, is worth do
ing Well.' Strive TO be a leader, not a fol-
lower. First have ans object, and then
ZcalOusiy labor 20 accomplish II, success
is sure 20 follow earnest, unceasing toll.
The c0utesreuts in the Isthmian races had
au object IN view and every sinew and
nerve was bent 70 obtain the object. 1t
was the crown ut the end of the race.
Life i a race, and many are on the course
You must either run or be trOddeu under
foot; the multitude i moving on; you
must not look behind, or defeat is certain.
Lead of in the train. and you Will gain
the crown at the end. Those who daily
will never reach the object, but viii fail

THE THrG EEEDED.-It is stated that
an everlasting glass chimney for lamps
has been invented, and is coming into
use at the north. This chimney can be
thrown violently upon the door, rolled
along, kicked about; but it resists all the
laws which ruiz ordinary glass. 1t will
not break when hung upon a flaring gas
burner. It costs three times rs much as
an ordinary chimney, but one of this
Kind will outlast dozen Of the old-fasI-
iOped ones

TEACHING CoURAGE.-Courage is vi
tai element Of christian chiyalry. With
ont it, indeed, neither truth nor fidelity
70 promise can be hoped for The cow
ard is sure 20 lie when truth means pun
ishment, and sure TO retreat from his en-
gagements when they involve peril. We
need valiant souls that have learned to
endure and scOrn pain, and TO face dan
ger fearlessly and promptly when duty
requires. Some parents evade the vital
part Of training by CLOSES and deception.
a mother who has taken her boy TO the
dentists TO get a tooth out, will often
say, if he is shrinking, "SfI still, my

Resumption OF Business.

Several bills have been introduced, and
! it Is said several more are in preparation
TO present 70 Congress, for the resump-
ton of specie payment, but we hear of
none looking TO the resumption Of bust
ness. Indeed, il does not appear to be
the theory of people IN the atmosphere
Of Washington 20 believe that industry
and business prosperity, production and
material Developments, have anything 70
do with enabling an individual or a na-
Lon ~ pay debss and appreciate credit.
That sounds Iltti o. strange EtateIlent. blit
is Il not true Nearly ali now admit that
the resumption act of year ago has re-
suited in nothing but prostration and
ruin 70 business, in addition to raising
the premium on gold, and thus putting
the object sought, further of. But IL is
still adhered 10.
II really seems that those in authority
have not yet been persuaded that produc-
] tion and Industry have ANYTHING to do
with helping the nation TO discharge its
obligations. If they could be persuaded
I that a restoration Of our industries and
/ prosperity among the people were a
necessary condition, precedent 10 nation
al prosperity, surely they would intro
duce and pass an act for the restoration
} OF business. But how shall any one hav-
ing belief that all men have ordinary
intelligence, tackle that question with ar
gumentsg IL is law Of every mans be-
| ing that health is preceded by the unOb-
sructed functions of sound body; that
good healthy circulation of the blood
is not produced by tampering with the
organs of digestion. A mans life, and
all that is before him IN the world, is con-
stantly and emphatically cOntradicfng
the theory of these people.
Carlyle says taat only the sick are con
| sclous Of disease, and this truth Is as aIi-
| plicable to communities as individual'
There is minority of the people wi o

case and business prostratiOn, and small
though it be, it is and always has beell
wonderfully powerful in impressing its
views on the public, and especially upon
the sOjOurners at the national capital.
We refer to that class who kept their
thousands and millions invested in real
estate and other securities which the re-
sumption act has so much enhanced. The
men that had fifty thousand dollars year
ago, have, by the contraction and process
of cOnfiscation of values under the exist
ing law, nearly a hundred thousand to-
day. Resumption Of prosperity among
the money lOaners and investors, would
have been a far better title TO the resump-
ton act, for IL has enhanced the purehas-
ing power of money in the ratio of the
confiscation Of values, Irostration Of ma
terial development and general industry.

some one would introduce a bill for the

Gov. Hendricks on State Government

Gov. Hendricks delivered an address at the
Inauguration of the Southern Industrial Ez-
position, st New Oriesps. His speech to the
two great classes of producers-tillers of the
sell and skilled mcchanics-is said to have
sbouuded with suggestions aud interesting
statistics. Towsrd the close Of his remarks
the Governor said:
Gambling speculations may indeed be
prosperous when the foundations of society
are unsettled, but Eot so with the honest
pursuits aud productive arts of life. The ag-
riculturist aud the mechanic cannot prosper
under bad laws or under laws which Gre dis
honestly, unrighteously partially admin
istered. They cannot bear tho burden of
,axation which inevitably falls upon them
when seif-seekiDg and corruption control pub
lie G6airs. l believe that the stability aud
sense of security which are essentiai to per-
mauent prosperity require that our political
institutions shall be entirely restored, as we'll
in their spirit as il their form. Our ex-
perience has established the fact that they are
peculiarly adapted to our condition aud wants
as q people. 1t must be settled so that it
shall not again be questioned that the powers
which belong TO the States under our form of
government shall be exercised by the States
without any interference, intimidation or con-
troll from without. Tho occasion which has
brought you together il in no respect political
or partisan. and would not by single word
violate its proprieties. intending criticism
upon one. think I may properly say that
the recent history of this city and State has
shown that the people cannot labor and pur,
sue their svocations with success when dis,
turbed or distrasted by conflicting Jurisdiction
over them"

Davis:
Goa the Democratic side Of the Senate
chamber there has sat for many years quiet
gentleman WHO has soberly discharged his duS
tiesin the Committee room and conscien tiously
voted with bis party wherever his vote would
tell, but he has rarely made speeches until
lately. Now he often makes his opipienB
known, and people are beginning to fnd that
Senator Davis is worth attention. Those
swift critics in tho reporters gallery stop
writing now when Mr.. Davis rises, aud listen,
sure of some item which will give their ferS
tile brains text for more than ono dispatch.
Senator Davis occupies house on Mnssachu-
sets svonue, which has the rare distinction
of sn enclosure crowded with shrubbery.-
Mrs. Davis is not fond Of society, SO q young
lady daughter receives for her, upon Sena3

calls are more agreeable this young bSstssS
makes her guests assured of welcome when
