THE certainty that the charters of the
national banks, which expire in 1888, will
not he renewed Is now very generally nc
ccptei. Coupled as it Is with the further
certainty that specie payment will be re-
sumcd next January, the future seems to be
robbed Of all foundation upon which the So
called Greenbackers can base any sound ar
gumcnt against our system of finances. In
other words, the financial issue will soon
be narrowed down to contest between
Honest Money and blatant Fiatism.

FROM the line of attack on Hon. X. V,

that his selection may be regarded as GER

that the next House will be compelled to

THEPILGRIM's SONG.

How sweet, as we're floating on 1ife's chang.
Like mariners voyaging over the foam,
10 think Of the dear ones in yonder blest har-
Dor,
And the beautiful songs they are singing at
home.
How sweet to be thinking Of pearly gates open,
And angels in white robes SO spotless and
fair,
With golden harps ringing in mansions Of
And sweet songs Of love floating soft on
the air.
How sweet to believe that our Savior is Jesus,
And trust in His strength as we're gliding
along:
His love viii ne 'er fail US; it guides US for
And fills our glad hearts with a beautiful
song.
How sweet to be singing, while or'er the
waves gliding,
And praising the Lord with our heart and
our song,
And working and praying that others may love
And Join in His praise as we're floating
along.
How sweet to be thinking Of angles and loved
ones,
AndjOys that await us IN heaven ABOVE!
Sweet strains will be floating, When Jesus
our Savior
Shall welcome us home to the mansions OF
love:
Dear Savior, we thank Thee, we love Thee,
and trust Thee;
Wen sing of Thy love IS we journey along,
And oh, when we enter the harbor of Heaven,
Wen praise Thee again with beautiful
song!

"COME UNTO ME-"

Asweeter song than e'er was sung
BY poet, priest, or sages;
A song which thro' all heaven has rung
And down thro' all the ages.
A precious strain of sweet accord,
A note of cheer from Christ our Lord,
List! as it yibrates full and free,
0 grieving heart, "Come unto Me-
0 wise provision, sweet command,
Nouchsafed the weak and weary;
A friend to find on either hand,
A light to prospect dreary.
A friend who knows our bitter need.
OF each endeavor taking heed;
Who calls to ever soul opprett;
Come unto Me, I'll give you rest"
"Come unto Me-" The ways not long
His hands are stretched to meet thee,
Now still thy sobbing, list the song
Which everywhere shall greet thee.
Here at his feet your burden lay,
Why meath it bend another day,
Since one so loving calls to the,
"Oh! heavy laden, come to Me-"
A sweeter song than e'er was sung
BY poet, priest, or sages;
A song which thro' all Heaven has rung
And down through all the ages.
How can we turn from such strain,
Or longer wait to ease our pain?
Oh! draw us closer, Lord, that we
May find our sweetest rest in Thee.

Napoleon and Nine. Reca1mier.

this great fighting man could be is ex-
emplitled in his conduct to Nine. Recam-
ier, which even exceeded in baseness his
prosecutions Of Nine. De Stael. The frs t
time his eye fell upon her she incurred
his jealous anger. 1t was in the Court of
the Luxembourg on the occasion of the
great reception given him by the Direc-
tory to celebrate his Italian victories.
While Barras was delivering long ora

Bonaparte glanced sharply round to as

that lovely form. Indignation that even
woman should for an instant distract
the admiring gaze from him, he cast up
on her glance so stern that she sank
back upon her seat, overwhelmed with
confusion. Being present at the trial Of
General Moreau, he demanded so angrily
"What was Nine. Recamier doing here?'
that she was counseled by her friends, if
she had any regard for her safety, not to
attend a second day. Yet the jealous
despot was no more insensible to her
charms than were other men. It was at
a ball given by Lucien that she met him
for the second and last time.

this we do not wish to dctract from Mr..
Clemens at all; but truth compels us to
state. that. one of the best Ameri can
writer's, in his way, and who has made
wealth and fame by his pen, was the
most useless local reporter it has ever
been our lot to meet. The business at that
time necessitated, Of course, good deal
of physical activity, and for this reason
in Clemens line. An amusing and char
acteristic instance Of this may be given:
" Mark" said the managing editor to
him one day, /" there is riot going on
among the stevedores along the city
from. Get the facts and make a
column"
"Ya-a.s," he responded, with his in
imitable drawi: but how can L get
them. there's no street railroad down
that way. You wouldn't want a fellow
to walk mile to see a c.uple Of long
shoremen in fight, would you?"
Mr.. Clemens remained in the office
about six month. The want of more
active man for reporter became pressing,
as the paper was suffering in its local
columns. At last the managing editor
observed one day, while he and Clemens
were sitting in the editorial room:
Mark, do you know what I think
about you as a local reporter2"
+" Well, what's your thought?''
"That you are out of your element in
the routine of the position; that YOU are
capable of better things in literature"
Mark looked up with queer twinkle
in bis eye.
ooh, ya-a-s, see. You mean to say l
don't suit you.''
Well, to be candid, that's about the
size of it''
"Ya-a-s. Well, I'm surprised you
didt find that out five months ago"
There was hearty laugh. He was
told his unftness fol the place was dis
covered SOON after he entered upon it;
but he was allowed to remain till he had
made the "stake y he wanted.

scarcely have been more dictatorial to a

woman worthy of him, and no one
knows what would be the love Sof Napo-
leon for pure minded woman; She
would assuredly obtain an influence over

But Juliette Recamier's virtue was proof
even against the alluremen:s Of this
modern eGcngis Khan, and she shrenk
from all his advances, thereby, of course,
mourning his deadly hatred, even to those
who frequented her salons. Hear
ing that three of his ministers had been
seen there, he demanded angrily since
when the Council had been held at Nine.

to apper there. He said openly that he
regarded as personal enemy every
person, whether French or foreign, who

Cornhill Magazine.
There is great deal of very vile non
sense talked upon both sides Of the mat
ter; tearing divines reducing life to the
dimensions of mere funeral procession,
so short as to be hardly decent, and
melancholy unbelievers yearning for the
tomb as If it were world too far away.
Both sides must feel little ashamed of
their performances nov and again when
they draw in their chairs to dinner.
Indeed, good meal and a bottle OF
wine is an answer to most standard works
upon the question. When a mans heart
warns to his viands, he forgets great
deal of sophistry, and scars into a rosy
zone of contemplation. Death may be
knocking at the door. the like Command
er's statue; we have something else in
hand, thank God; and led him knock.
Passing bells are ringing all the world
over, and every hour, some one is parting
company with all his aches and ecstasies;
for us also the trap is laid.
But we are so fond of life that we have
no leisure to entertain the terror of death.
IT'S honeymoon with US all through,
and none of the longest. Small blame to
us if we give our whole hearts to this
glowing bride of ours, to the appetites,
to honor, to the hungry curiosity OF the
mind, to the pleasure of the eyes IN ma
ture, and the pride of our own nimble
bodies. We all Of us appreciate the SEN
satlons but as caring about the perma-
nance Of the possibility. mans head is
generally very bald, and his senses very
dull, before he comes to that. Whether
we regard life as lane leading to dead
wall-a mere bags end, as the French
say-or whether we think Of it as a
vestibule or gymnasium, where we
wait our turn and prepare our facu.-
ties for some more noble destiny;
wheather we thunder in the pull
pit or pule in little atheistic poetry books
about its vanity and brevity; whether we
look justly for years Of health and vigor,
OF are about to mount into bath-chair,
as step toward the hearse; in each and
all of these views and situations there is
but one conclusion possible: that man
should stop his ears against paralyzing
terror, and run the race that is set before
him with single mind.
No one surely could have recoiled
with more heartachc and terror from the
thought of death than our delightful lexi-
cographer, and yet We know how little it
affected his conduct, how wisely and
boldly he walked, and in what fresh
and lively vein he spoke of life. Already
an old man, he ventured on his Highland
tour; and his heart, bound with triple
brass, did not recoil before twenty seven
individual cups Of tea. As courage and
intelligence are two qualities best worth
good mans cultivation, so it is the first
part Of intelligence to recognize our pre-
