Mr.. Nottingham went home, sadly
dispirited.
whats the use of trying to save
money! said he. I'm going to
give it up after this ~
Al don't agree with you there, my
dear" said Mrs. Nottingham. 81
have been saving money for the past
three years, and L have found that it
pays!"
"You have ?" said the husband.
"Of course have. Doyou suppose
that I spent all the money? Not a
bit of it. / put the best part of 1t out
at interest. always following Uncle
Wetherbee's advice in my invest
ments, and / have bought a house
with it,"
"What house?"
Mr.. Nottingham's eyes opened wild
er and wider.
"Ihe Falkirk house." said Mrs.
Nottingham, her cheeks and lip dim
pling all over with satisfaction. 81
completed the bargain to-day. My
dear, stealing one arm around her
husbands neck-"how do you think
! have held up my end of the busi-
ness partnership"
Better than 1 could have done my
self, Phoebe" said Mr.. Nottingham,
with curious moisture coming into
his eyes. my plucky little wife, I
am proud OF you!"
ut was your money, Nicholas" !"
said the wife In faltering voice.
"But it was your prudence and
economy that stored it up, Phoebe" |"
"Then you don't regret the terms
and articles of our partnership p
mot in the leastI" answered Mr..
Nottingham, fervently.
So the young couple moved into the
Falkirk house when the first of May
came round, and the coziest room 10
the house, with a south-window and
an open fire place for a wood FIRE,
was reserved for Uncle Wetherbee.
And Mr.. Nottingham is never tired
of telling his friends how his wife
bought the place with her share of the
partnership profits.
1.-THE most charming woman In the
world" says Mr.. Nottingham.

Judge Gibson, in his charge to the
Grand Jury of Richmond county, that
State, told them it was well to inquire
whether a system which levies an an
nual tax of SIS, 900 for education is
right at ALL The Judge thought there
were too many educated mendicants
in the country now Said he: Give
me the man who studies at night by
the light of pinewood knot, and /
will show you a man. This thing of
people living on their fathers or moth
ers, or what some relative has left
them, won't do. The time will come
when all this will be stopped, and ev-
cry man will have to live by his own
honest work.

The Proposed GOlOid Coinage.

The proposed goloid dollar of 25S
grains would be exactly ten times the
weight of the present gold dollar I;
| that is, it would be of exactly the
same weight as en-dOllar gold
piece. AS basis for a goloid coinage,
it is proposed that the silver dollar be
increased by three-tenths of grain
in weight, making it exactly sixteen
the weight of the gold dollar. 1t is
then proposed to combine four dollars
in gold with six dollars in silver,
which would give 1882 grpins of
standard gold and 2,476 grains of
standard silver, or $3.50 grains of the
amalgam. The aggregate of this
mass $40, one goIoid dollar would be
one-tenth of it, or 25S grains.
The proposed change in the weight
of the silver dollar Is so slight that no
serious objection could be made at the
present time. The relation of ten to
one between gold and goloid is a de-
cidedly convenient one; the goloid
dollars, halves, and quarters, cores
ponding in weight with eagles, half
eagles, and two dollar and a half
pieces, wouldIbe of a convenient size;
and, what is of the most Importance,
the simultaneous circulation of gold
and silver would be secured by bind
ing them inseparably together in the
same coins.
In short the goloid scheme seems to
have much to recommend it, If ii
acre only practicable.
Its great defect seem to be that the
amalgam, to which it is proposed to
give this name. would scarcely be dis
tinguishsble from silver, and hence
would easily be counterfeited in that
metal. The trade of the counterfeit
er is pursued with such persistence
and ingenuity that it is of the high
est Importance that the metals used
in coinage should be easy distinguish
able. If the advocates of goloid can
show that their com position possesses
this quality, there may be some
chance of its odoption but it does
not seem very likely they will be able
to do so.- Washington Cd. c. Nation
