you 60 among fellow-men with frown,
draped countenance ? Sorrows come,
troubles Come ;but why be SO melancho>
ly as though your last hope was blasted?
There is duty which we owe TO those
about us-to be cheerful. The gloom
upon your face throws a shadow on their
hearts. 1t is pi,iful to see the effect of
one such face upon family. The
children feel it the wife or husband, as
the case may be, feel it.
Life is made up of little things which
cost nothing, aud are worth great deal.
Let the law of kindly charity, which un-
derlies the SAVIOUR, be the guiding prin-
ciple of your lite. And not let it stop
with faithtulness in great matters, but
see to it this grace attain so high a de-
velopment that may beam from every

heart it will give strength to the weak;

NEw YORK, March 9.-Gold fell to

not taken. Small lots were obLainable,
bus not large ones. Still latter 100 Is
10 wa. accepted for moderate amounts,
but the more general quotation was l..
The trouble with the market Is there Is
TOO much coin for the demand, and hence
like any other article Of merchandise, for
gold is such, 30 long as 1t commands any
premium at all,) 1t falls from absence
Of demand.
The Washington opinion that silver
will soon decline Is not shared here. Ger
many will soon be out Of the market
as a seller Of silver, aud this should
stiffen silver here and elsewhere. When
she began to sell her $30O.0O0. 600 the
price dropped by degrees 10 per cent.
but 1t has since regained per cent, oi

Mr. EwING's NEW GREENBAcKs.-
Mr.. Ewing offered joint resolution in
the House of Representatives on Mon
day, proposing an amendment to the
constitution providing that, in order that
the people of the United States NAV be
furnished with permanent and stable
paper currency, Congress shall provide
for issuing millions of dollars of
United States notes, not bearing interest.
which shall be legal tender for all debts.
public and private, except for such ex-
isting debts as are by contract payable
only in coin, and that the number of
such notes shall be increased each year
at rate equal to the average increase OF
population, and that the first issue of
said notes shall be used as tar as neces-
sary in retiring United States notes not
bearing interest now outstanding, and
the remainder in reducing the interest.
bearing debt. 1t farther provides tina,
no law of the United States nor of any
State shall authorize the issue of notes
payable on demand for the benefit OF
any person or corporation, and Congress
shall provide for withdrawing from cir.

Secretary Sherman has given, it issaid,
as his opinion that under the legislation
as it stands from fifty to one hundred
million silver dollars can be put in circu-

favored the discontinuance of the trade
dollar coinage as apt to be source of
embarrassment; preferred the nickel
tive-cent pieces to silver favored the alb
clifton OF the twenty-cent silver coin as
one whose only convenience was in pay

the redemption of its legal tender coin

S1,OOO,OO0 year for the privilege of

have no doubt of this. But then the
