bill will secure all these precious results
for my countrymen, rejoice that it is my
good fortune to be an humble participant
in this legislation.

consummation. The gray mountains,
the eternal sentinels Of God, will shake
their crowns to the valleys; the valleys

material elements will mingle with the
gladuess of rescued people rejoicing in
the fact that the Constitution and Union,
are to live, and preserve for all men OF
every color and nativity the blessings of
liberty regulated by law,
And shall it be said that to assist in ac-

degrade the Supreme Court? Why, sir,
it will decorate the judges OF that court
with robes brighter with honor than their
own umsullied ermine to leave their august
position and mingle az a part of this
tribunal which is to beside, as was
SAID by an eloquent Senator, "the greatest
dispute that was ever had in the world. "
Ifthey can but adjust these difficulties to
the satisfaction of the people-and be

they have ever done in the pact or can
ever do in the future even if there were

AsVnIN ARITHMETIC.
1T NICHOLAS NICHOLS.

There came irto school one day
A white-haired man. With pleasant smile
He greeted US. and sitting down,
Said he would like TO rest awhile.
'Tw., time to have Arithmetic"
The teacher raid: "NOw all give hoed;
Put M your books and take your states,
And do the sum which l will read
Our books went in, our states came out,
And then the teacher read the sum-
We tried and tried and tried again,
But couldn't make the answer come.
And then the old man said to us
With kindness twinkling in his eyes
'WhO gets the answer first shall have
A silver shilling for prize"
Then Tommy Dole resolved to cheat,
And slyly taking out his book,
When he supposed he was not seen,
A hasty glance inside he took.
At once the answer Tommy finds,
and now I've got it, sir" he cries.
The teacher thinks Tom worked the sum
And tells him he has won the prize.
But that Old man had seen it all;
These twinkling eyes had watched the triel
"Weli done, my boy" he said, you sesm
To understand Arithmetic.
But now, before give the prize,
Ill let you try harder sum;
Another shilling you shall have
If you can tell how that is done.
| And then, with kiLdest voice and look,
! lie gently said to Tommy Dole:
What shall it profit, my lad,
! To gain the world and lose your soul:'
Then Tommy Dolo hung down his head,
The tears began to fill his eyes
/ And all the scholars wondered Why
| He would not take the silver prize.

KISS ME GOOD NIGHT.

Dear mother, when my prayer is said,
Before you take the light,
Oh lean your head So closely down,
And always kiss good night
For am happier in my dreams,
And sleep in Eweeter rest,
II have laid my lips to thine,
Aud thine TO mine are pressed.
One kiss, dear mother, for the love
My heart keeps warm for thee.
And one for all the tenderness
Thy sweet eye, look TO me.
Kiss nc forgiveness Of all my wrongs
Kiss me with hope and prayer.
That I shall be n better child,
And Nore reward thy care.
Kiss me for some poor orphan child,
To whom no kiss is given;
And next for all the happy ones,
And then for one in Heaven.
Kiss me for everything love,
The beautiful and bright;
Sweet mother, tis' me for thIself
Once more now COED night.

Tic Future OF Gold.

Prof SucsS, of the University of Ger
many, has recently published a work
ON "Thc Future of Gold,' in which he
takes the ground and undertakes to
demonstrate that more than half Of all
the gold which can be extracted from
the earth by human labor and ingc-
nuity has already come into the hands
of man.
Prof. Suess says that the precious
metals have three separate sources
which mark the geological transform
alton of their component matter III the
outer strata Of the earth. In the first
class gold and silver are found infinitely
disseminated in their rocks, but gold is
found thus III so small quantities that
this source is not to be taken into ac-
count in estimating the earth's resources
for maintaining the demand. A second
source he places in the seams or fis-
sures which have resulted from volcanic
forces, and to which belong the famous
bonanza mines of Nevada, and the
lodes and veins of New Grenada, Vie
toria, etc. The third and last source
are the placer and iluyial gold fields OF
California, Aurtralia, etc, the gold de-
posts of which have had their origin
in the chemical alteration wrought by
the air, together with the mechanical
displacement and removal effected by
water
He further gives the opinion that this
last source Of supply must be regarded
rs the only substantial field Of gold
supply in the future and TO give an
idea Of its limited capacity, he estimates
that from 1S4S 10 the close of 1876, only
1891 ,0OO.OO0 of the total product OF
50 $50 100000 was drawn from the
placer gold fields. The conclusion to
which he arrives is that the gold supply
will fall off very much in the near fu-
ture, and its ultimate exhaustion is only
a question of time. The sources OF
silver ON the other hand, are more
numerous and widely spread than those
Of gold, and are relatively large and
rich. so that the supply will extend to a
future much more remote than that OF
gold,
The Professor has evidently been lead
10 consider this subject OF gold supply
because of the discussion of the ques.
ton of q single money standard. since
his conclusions tend TO oppose that
project with the strong probability that
within several centuries mankind viii
have exhausted the cauhs gold re-
sources. and that within shorter pc,
Rod there viii not be enough gold at
the disposition of mankind for money

On a peace establishment the Eu-
rOpean nations named above keep m
able bodied man for every 10l Of the
total population constantly idle and un-
der arms; we maintain only one out Of
1000 in arms. 70 these figures must
be added the naval forces of these cOun-
tries, and the great numbers employed
in preparing ammunition, great guns
and small arms. And what is still
more Wastciul, we must remember that
these soldiers, the flower of the pOpu-
ton, are not only clothed, fed, housed
and armed at the expense Of the nation
but they are removed from productive
labor; they are idlers. If we assume
that the able-bodied men in a country
are one-tenth of the whole population,
it would appear that in Christian Eu-
rope in the year Of grace 1877 about
one in ten Of these able-bodlcd men Is
continually supported in idleness during
peace. and at time when ii has been
seriously proposed among us 10 entirely
abolish our little army.
1t surely needs no further words to
show that if we all started poor alike,
we of the United States ought 70 re-
cover our losses and attain prosperity
long before our European neighbors.
In fact, they are going from bad to
worse; it begins to bc generally ac-
knowledged that unless Europe can
soon disarm it viii become bankrupt.
Now, it's clear that with these great
advantages we should not only recover
our losses sooner than thc nations OF
Europe; we ought not only to accumu-
late wealth much more rapidly, but,
having already on hand at this time an
overabundance of mills, foundrles, ma,
chinery and workshops Of every kind
being that is to say, thoroughly equipped
to produce cheaply in every depart
