As a very important source Of strength
and security. cherish public credit. One
method of preserving it is to nse it as
sparingIy as possible; avoiding occasions
of expense by cultivating peace, but re.
membering also that timely disbursem ents
to prepare for danger frequently prevent
much greater disbursements to repel it ;
avoiding likewise the accumulation Of
debt, NOT only by shunning occasions of
expense, but by vigorous exertions in time
of peace 10 discharge the debts which un-
avoidabIe wars may have occasioned, not
ungenerousiy throwing upon posierity ihe
burden which we ourselves ought to bear.

"The very man of all others who has the
deepest interest in a sound cufreacv, and
who suffers most by mischievous legisla-
tiOn in money matters, il the man who
earns his daily bread by his daily toll. A
depreciated currency, sudden changes Of
prices, paper money falling between morn
ing and noon, and falling still lower be-
tween noon and night, these things consti-
tute the very harvest time of speculators,
and of the whole race of those who are at
once idle and crafty. A dis0rdered
currency Is one of the greatest political ev-
lis. 1t undermines the virtues necessary for
the support of the social system and
encourages propensities destructive to
its happiness. 1t wars against industry,
fruGality and economy, and il fosters
the evil spirits of extravagance and
speculation. OF all the c0ntrivances
for cheating the laboring classes of
mankind, none has been more efecluaI
than that which deludes them with paper
money. This is the most ehectuaI of inven-
items 10 ferfiiize the rich mans fields by the
sweat of the poor mans brow. Ordinary
tyranny, oppression, excessive taxation,
these bear lightly upon the mass of the
community, compared with fraudulent
currencies and tho robberfes committed by

Mutual Admirers.

1 have been anxious to find out what
the various plenipotentiaries think Of
n another. Prince Gortschakoff, ii
seems, likes Lord Beaconsfeld; SO does
Count Andrassy. The second Austrian,
Count Karolyi, one of the richest and
noblest Of Hungarian magnates, looks
upon Lord Salisbury as too literary for
a grand seigneur, and considers that he
would come nearer to the ideal British
peer IL there were more of the game
keeper and the jockey about him. Un-
fortunately Lord Salisbury's colleague
does not find more favor in the eyes of
His Hungarian Excellency, for he pro-
nounces the first plenipotentiary of
Great Britain to be artificial, preten-
tious, and rather vulgar. NJ. Wadding-
ton likes Lord Salisbury, but fails to
understand Lord Beaconsfield. Count
Andrassy is less loud than he was, but
not less fearful of Prince Bismarck.
just as the Germans do not relish the
selection by Turkey Of the German rem
egade, Mehemet Ali Pasha, so does
Lord Beaconsfield rather resent the
choice of an English manufacturer to
represent France. Essentially COM
mon and decidedly middle Glass;" as
our Premier says, he is but a poor sub
stitute for the sort of plenipotentiary
that Vivian Gray had dreamed of meet
ing-a Due de la Rochfoucauld or a
Prince of the Empire, distributing

or Of a Bonaparte.

Lord Beaconsfield made many years

from the gorgeous gold flowers of a

a black cord and tassel, and n quantity
Oh chains about his neck and pockets,
served TO make him, even in the dim
light, a conspicuous object. He has
one OF the most remarkable faces 1 eyer
saw. He is lividly pale, and. but for
the energy of his action and the strength
OF his lungs, would seem to be n victim
to consumption. His eye is black us
Erebus, and has the most mockinp. ".
lightweight sort of expression con.
ceivable. His mouth is alive with n
kind of working and impatient nervous
ness, and when he bursts forth, AS he
does constantly, with a partially sue
cessful cntanct of expression, it as.
sumes a curl of Triumphant scorn that
would be worthy of a Mephistopheles.
His hair is ms extraordinary rs his taste
in w~aistcoats. A thick, heavy mass Of
jet-black ringlets falls over his left
cheek almost to his ~collarless stock,
while on the right temple it is parted
and put away with the smooth
carelessness Of a girls, and shines most
unetuously.
