To do Gods will we all will try,
For the end of our journey is drawing nigh.
Were we to observe more holidays 1
believe it would be both interesting
and beneficial to all concerned, besides
it might be means of increasing our

1 like the Episcopal form of cere-
mony for the children, especially their
Palm Sunday, Floral Sabbath, decora- :

many ways in which precious souls
may be saved.
1t is impossible to say the amoun: of
good accomplished in this efficient
way. l know a young man who had
never attended the Sabbath-school
persuaded by an influential friend to
do SO, and through this means he was
converted. together with an aged
father and mother, who would prOba-
bly, have remained sinful through
their lives had it not been for the in
fiuence of the Sabbath-schOol.
There Is surely not parent In this
land but that desires their children to
make mark in the world, or live
good lives. II you do not wish them
to spend their Sabbaths In idleness, OF
lounging about the streets, hunting,
fishing, ETC., persuade them to join
you in the Sabbath-school. Letno one
say they are not needed in the field OF
labor. Do not say, pray have me ex'

In 1873 the bonded liabilities of the
people of the Uritsd States were summed
up at $s,OOO,0O0,OoO. These liabilities
were payable in paper, silver and gold /;
all three being legal tenders. OF this
amount about $4,000, 100000 are in u.
S. bonds. Many people suppose that the
latter sum is all that is required to be
paid in gold. But this is not so. The
decentralization of silver made the whole
of the mortgage debts and bonded debts
as well as promissory notes above S., all
payable in gold. A case was tried in
Philadelphia on Tuesday for rent. 1t will
be found elsewhere. The court decided
against silver and that the rent, $50, must
be paid in gold. No act of Congress ever
created such a terrible crisis and dis
turbed values so much as the act of 1873.
1t was the foulest financial act on record
1t operated as hardly on the bonded and
debtor interest as declaration of war
and the terrible suffering it has caused
is incalculable. The passage of the
Bland silver bill, is only to restore
the silver dollar, or, silver money, to the
place it held before the war, and make
its coinage at the mint unlimited and OF
the same terms as gold, as before the
rebellion.

REHoBoTH RAILRoAD.-On Tuesday,
VIM. Bright, Esq, President of the Re-
hoboth Beach Camp Meeting Associa-
tion, received telegram from James
McCready, President of the Junction and
Breakwater Railroad Company, stating
that the President and Directors of that
road would meet him in Wilmington to
take final action with regard to the agree
ment for building the branch road from
Lewes to Rehoboth. Mr.. Bright accord
ingly met Mr.. McCready; and all the ar
rangements were fully made and the
road will be built to the gate of the camp
ground, in the beautiful grove of large
trees and the owners of the grounds
will be required to build their own depot.
1t is supposed that it viii be put on Re-
hoboth Avenue. The railroad company
have taken number of lots in various
places on Columbia Avenue, and it is
supposed several of the gentlemen who
live in New York will erect cottages
The road can be got ready for use by the
last of May. 1t will not be extended to
Rehoboth city, which is about two or
three miles beyond where it will reach
the Association property. Mr.. Bright
has been laboring earnestly and continu-
ously for two years to secure the building
of this road and deserves great credit for
his management in getting it built, as all
others had failed. 1t was all that was
necessary to make the Camp Meeting
Association great success.

IT IS given out as finally determined by
the Secretary of the Treasury to give the
Syndicate ten days notice of the annul-
ment of their contract for the negotiation
of the per cents. The limit of the no.
tice expires on the 26th instant. As the
syndicate have ceased to sell the bonds it
is not likely they care much about the
notice to end it. The amonnt that will
sell in SO or even s1OO bonds will not ag-
gregate very large, and of what is to be
done in this way the syndicate bankers
