tent, the mutterngs of spleen, the

these, and other namelcss nog!ects,
without a crime among them, have
narrowed to the quick the hearts
core of many u man, and planted
there beyond the reach Of cure, the
germ Of dark despair. O, may wo-
man, b. fore that sight arrives, dwell
OH the recollcctions Of her youth,
I'd cherishing the dear idea Of that

the promise she so kindly gave. And

"a kiss OF peace to pardon all the

The above seems TO be rapid pro
gress toward resumption of specie
payment. The act of Congress re
Yuircs that this shall be consumatcl
on 1st Of January 1878, yet the de-
velopmcnts of,he recent past and the
signs of present progress point to an
earlier period-perhaps in the very
near future. The following is what
Secretary Sherman says about it:
"As to anticipating the date of the
resumption of specie payment, Secre-
tary Sherman said, when asked about
it that he had been misunderstood if
such an inference rs to his intentions
had been drawn from his remarks at
Wyoming. In the conversation
from which his remarks were quot ed
he had simply said, in answer to
question put to him point blank, tha t
we might expect resumption by the
1st of November, if not sooner He
was asked further: "And how much
sooner, Mr.. Sherman ?"
ooh, possibly by the 1st of Septem-
bcr," lie answered. Whcreupon his
questioncr continued :"
"Would you say as early as the
1st of August" ?"
"Well," replied the secretary, "I
wouldn't like to say rs soon rs that,
but we shall reach specie payments
very soon."
"This is all there is of his reported
determination to resume before the
1st Of January. To make assurance
doubly sure, the secretary was
asked :"
"'Then there is no truth in the state
ment that you intended to announce
specie payments before next Decem-
Der. so as to forestall any action Con-
gress might take at its next session p
"None whatever"
"And you do not intend to resume
before January 1 ?"
81 will not redeem the grecnbacks
with golG before the day appointed
by the law; but the country will be
at specie payments long before that
time. Indeed, | could show you by
figures from the treasury that | could
resume tomorrow; but | shall do
nothing in the way of resuming
specie payments except to encourage
resumption by every regular and
natural means"

From tie latter portion ofthe text,
the speaker drew some beautiful anil
comforting lessons concerning the
office of hope in controlling c!,aracter
amid the different phases Of life. The
constituent elements OF this graca
were desire and expectation, an |.
when these were properly con'.in H.
hope was enabled to perform its per-
feet work in controlling human con
duet. Its further clica was to con-
meet faith with love (charity(; and in
ali the representations ofthe triliL
ot the gracc>, Hope stands in the mid
lie in the order Of Faith, Hope and
Love. Establishing himself on Fllth
by the experience Of the past, the
Christian was cnab!cl to cnss his an

that the doors of the Church were not

The Sioux Baby.

aing stream, immersed and well washed in
sold water. On her return TO the lodge
the proud mother is presented by her hus-
6and with a mare pony for his heir the
fatted dog is killed, coffee boiled, bangs
cooked, and the birth feast prepared The
happy father invites all his male relatives
and friends. The tom-tom, with the medi-
cine rattle, make the music; the guests
chant a lively melody, and dance until the
feast is served; the pipe is passed around,
and when all are helped the father proposes
a toast to his wife. Each guest in turn con-
graduates the parents, and then altogether
say, I'VE are all friends" and drink the
health of the little stranger. After the feast
ing the dance is renewed, and at intervals
the warriors will count their coups, the
number of horses stolen, etc, aud present
their gifts to the parents for their child.
Anything from q dog TO q horse will satisfy
thu purpose. The medicine man winds up
tha feast by shaking the rattle, dsmoninc
yells, contortions OF his body, and shooting
of his gun to drive the evil spirits away,
receives q pony in fee for his services, and
all then retire. The initial services are
over, and the pApoose starts in iifo n debtor
to his tribe, as each article, animal, or other
gifts presented him must be returned in kind
sooner or later in his life. So you will per.
ceive hat Indian gifts are actually time
loans, and must be paid by the receiver, or
be considered q bankrupt and dishonored

charged heavy interest, and, after baing in

The child is wrapped in skins, and put in

"Some extremely wonderful properties Lave

chronic diseases, for rheumatism, wounds,
bruises and corrupting sores. The applion-
tion is very simple. The earth is bound on

very extraordinary cures nave been per
formed, and people carry of quantities Of
the earth and apply it Mt home. 1t can b.
