The pav of Reckoning.

The New York Times.-The riot
ers who exulted in the flames
which destroyed the buildings and
goods in transit, at Pittsburg, in
sanely fancied that they were wreak-
ing vengeance on the souIless rail
road corporation. People who live in
Allegheny county will, for years to
come, pay the expense of that wild
days work. The burden will fall on
the owners of real estate and person
al estate. But eventually it will be
felt by every man who hires a roof,
or part of a roof, to cover him, or
who buys food or clothing in Ale
ghany county. As many Of the ri
Oters as remain in Pittsburg will
pay their share. They cannot es-
cape from it, though they may not
own a foot of land or so much as a
hoYel.

ARTICLE XXI.
Misspent evenings.

There is sound truth and wisdom
in the following, which we commend
to boys and young men everywhere,
as worthy of.their serious attention:
aThe boy who spends an hour Of
each evening Iounging idly on the
street corners, wastes IN the course
of a year, 365 hours, which, if ap-
piled to study, would familiarizs
him with the rudiments Of almost
any Of the familiar sciences. In ad-
dition to wasting an hour each even
ing he spends 10 cents for a cigar,
which is usually the case; the amount
thus worse than wasted would pay for
10 Of the leading periodicals Of the
country. Boys, think Of these things :
Think how much time and money
you are wasting, and for what ? The
qualification afforded by the lounges
on the corner is not only temporary
but positively hurtful. You cannot
indulge in them without seriously
iniuring yourselves. You acquire
idle and Wasteful habits, which viii
cling to you with each succeeding
year. You may IN after life shake
them of, but the probabilities are
that the habits thus formed in early
life will remain with you to your dy-
ing day. Be warned, then, in time,
and resolve that as the hour spent
in idIeness is. gone forever you
Will improve each passing one, and
thereby fit youself for usefulness
and happiness.

To TOnrisfs.

No portion of the continent Of America
presents so much Of grandeur, beauty and
marvellous interest to the Tourist as the
famous Rocky Mountain region Of East
ern Colorado, in the vicinity of the beauti-
full CITY Of Denver. The magniheence Of
the mountain scenery IS equaled only by
that Of Switzerland, and many Tourists
from abroad have pronounced Colorado
scenery superior even to that Of the Alps.
The popular resorts in the mountains,
famed alike for their grand surroundings
and their magical waters, are daily becOm-
ING recognized as the most delightful in
America for either health or recreation
Hundreds Of people, tired Of the resorts Of
the East, are going to spend the summer
in the grand old Rocky Mountains amid IFS
charming parks, majestic snow-clad peaks,
Grand canons, clear sky and magic atmos-
Dbere. The popular Kansas Pacific Rail
Wav. with its steel rails and automatic air
brakes. is the favOrite Tourist Route, and
the only line running Pullman cars from
Kansas City to Denver. Low round trp

The Cincinnati Gazette has be-
come a convert to the theory of
good times close at hand. 1t says {:
"Our merchants are receiving the
cheering news from their customers
that the fine crops will enable them
to pay their debts. If we are not on
the eve of an improvement in bust
ness, the signs are deceptive"

TrIaIs OF Newspaper 20.

De Witt Talmage says One Of
the greatest trials Of the newspaper
profession is that its members are
compelled to see more Of the shams
of the world than any other prOfes-
sion. Through every newspaper
Office, day after day, 60 all the weak
nesses Of the world all the Yanites
that want to be puffed all the re-
venges that want to be heaped all
the mistakes that want to be correct
ed; all the dull speakers who want to
be thought eloquent; all the mean
ness that wants to get its wares no
ticed gratis in the editorial columns,
in order to save the tax Of the adver-
tising columns; all the men who
want to be set right Who we're never
right at the cracked brain phnOsO-
pliers with stories as long as their
hair, and as gloomy as their finger
nails in mourning because bereft Of
soap-all the bores who come to stay
five minutes, but talk five hours.
Through the editorial and re-
portorial rooms, all the fOllies and
shams of the world are seen day after
day, and the temptation IS to believe
in neither God, man nor woman It
is no surprise to me that in this pro
fession there are some skeptioal men;
I only wonder that journalists be-
ieVe anything.

Spargur Reunion.

Mr.. EDITOR The annual reunion Of the Spar
CUR family took place at Rainsboro, Aug IS, 1877,
and was grand affair. The crowd that assem-
bled in John Redkey's beautiful grove was estima-
ted at four thousand, while 10 contemplate the
horses and buggies looked like the turning out Of
all creation.
Uncle 'Joe" Spargur was the representative
man, and in a neat speech Of welcome made every
one feel at home. After some excellent music by
the HiIsboro Band, the occasion was formally
opened by prayer by the writer. Capt E. NJ. De-
Bruin was then introduced, and his in happy style
addressed the meeting, doing justice to the Spar
gurs in general and to the occasion in particular
At the close of Capt. DeBruin's remarks dinner
was announced. And such dinners 1t is be-
yond the power of pen to describe their kind and
quality. They must be eaten to be appreciated.
After dinner, your humble servant tried to speak,
but certain feelings of tightness reminded him
that digestion was in order. We never remember
Of enjoying ourselves so well as upon this occas-
ion. The best feeling prevailed everywhere; hand
shaking and kindly salutatiOns were the order Of
the day. We hope these reunions are fixed insti-
tutions. We believe they cement more strongly
the bonds Of social life, bringing friends and
lations together once year at least, and keeping
green the memory of the departed. Long live the
Spargurs, we say, and may their shadows never
grow less. KLISE.

Money!.

Of very ancient origin is money.
It is mentioned as a medium of com
merce in the Bible, in Genesis xiii,
where Abraham purchased field as
a sepulcher for Sarah, in the year of
the world 2139. Homer speaks of
brass money as existing 1884 B. G.
The invention of coin is ascribed to
the Lydians. Their money consist
ed of gold and silver. Iron money
was used in Sparta, and iron and tin
in Great Britain. Julius Caesar was
the first who obtained the express
permission of the Senate to place his
image on the Roman coins. Earlier
they had placed the image of their
deities on their coins. The Romans
called their silver HlOneta, because it
was coined in the temple of Juon
Moneta, 269 B. G. Money has been
made of different materials, and
even of leather. It was made of
pasteboard by the Houanders as late
as 1874 The North American In
dians, in early times, used shells
strung together, which they called
wampum. Coins were made in many
different shapes. English coins were
partly square, oblong and round,
until the middle ages, since when
round coins have only been used.
The Chinese and JaDanese coins are
square, with a square hole through
the center. The names of many OBJ
solete pieces are met with in Shakes
peare and some other English au-
thors, such as the angel angelot,
noble, groat, guinea, etc. The first
silver coin struck in England was
he penny. It was struck with a
cross so deeply indented that it
might be easily parted into two for
half pence and into four for farth-

The Men who are to Blame.

The Men who are to Blame.
From the Grand Rapids lIich.) Eagle.
There are demagogues running
loose through the land who have for
years been rubbing the ears and
stirring up the passions ofthe vicious,
stirring up the very spirit which is
now drenching homes in blood and
giving property to devouring flames.
The Carys, Fields, Pomeroys and
Trevellicks of the land are response
bic not little for kindling this very
spirit of lawlessness and malice and
revenge. Let those who doubt re-
fleet upon the gatherings that in
this and other cities have alternately
cheered and hissed and groaned, and
uttered dire threats, as the epithets
'Shylocks, ''plunderers, thieves, "
robbers" and all similar phrases
have rolled glibly from the oily
tongues of spouting demagogues,
seeking to stir up discomfort and
sour it to madness and bitterness of
spirit, and lash it into vindictiveness
among the Iaborers and the rough
. er and more reckless classes of the
land.
