The Educational Of the Chicago
Evening Journal says:
Six students Of both sexes have just
been expelled from Oberlin College for
violating the rules by indulging in
firtations and moonlight walks at in
seasonable hours.
If the educational had said that
one student of both sexes had been ex-
PEELED it might have obtained some
credence, but no one will believe that
six students of both sexes were either
expelled from or connected With Ober-
lin College. 4e
Though several approaches have
been made toward it, there probably
has never yet been we'll authenticate
ed case of one person of both sexes.

Honesty the Best Policy.

We confess to have but little patience
with the man who talks about the good
times of '65, but who doesn't know
enough to know that those times cost us
| the sacrifice of half million lives and a
debt that will remain a burden on the
| government when those men now living
are all dead. We can have those times
again when we have all the circum-
stances but not without 1t was the de-
mand for, and consumption Of the prod
ucts of our farms and workshops that
made good times. Then the government
was purchaser to the tune of two or
three millions day. But the man who
isn't an idiot knows that that process
could not continue forever. Isn't the
debt great enough2
More money" will not give US good
times. If there were today in the Treas
ury of the United States two thousand
million additional greenbacks, that fact
would not create demand for single
days labor. If all the bonds of the gov
ernment were paid off tomorrow in
greenbacks it,.would not swell the demand
for labor. Men will not buy labor,
whether having much or little money,
until there is demand for the products
OF labor, and not then until reasonably
assured that ignorant demagogues will
not be permitted to change the terms of
sill contracts and the value of all dollars
by stupid legislation.
What every business interest of this
country demands to day, is to know
whether the government intends to keep
faith with its creditors, to know whether
our measure of value means hundred
cents, or whether it is an uncertain guam
tity that may mean a hundred cents to-
dow md nn1u forfu 70
pie ever did or ever will attain perma
nent prosperity without reliable stand
ard which has a well known and uniform
relation to labor, so that it may be def
nitely and certainly known what prom
ise to pay really means.
Men talk fippantly and foolishly about
the shrinkage of values. The trouble is
that they ran off after strange gods.
They forgot or ignored the real measure
of value. They acted upon the hypoth-
esis that the government was dishonest
contractor and would not pay its prom
ises in honest dollars, worth a hundred
cents each. The property bought upon
coin basis. whether in '65, or any other
year, is worth as many dollars to-day as
then. The men who paid in dollars
worth but forty cents must not expect as
many dollars worth hundred. The
men who DO expect it, plainly enough
make public proclamation of the fact
that they expect the government to be
dishonest; and also of the fact that they
would gladly pay the laborer in depre-
ciated dollar, or in worthless dollar, if
only the government would permit The
question to be answered is.-Shall the
government pay its debts fairly and
squarely and honestly, as individuals
have heretofore been expected to do, or
shall it 60 in for partial or wholesale re-
pudiation There is but one answer for
honest men to give, and it should be
given at the polls with such emphasis
that no scoundrel will hereafter venture
to express doubt of the purpose Of the
government to keep its promise to all
men, Newark American.

Attachment to Newspapers.

The strong attachment of subscribers
to well conducted newspapers is fully
confirmed by publishers "Stop my pa
pei" words of dread to beginners in
business-lose their terror after a paper
has been established for term of years
So long as paper pursues just, honora-
BILE, and judicious course, meeting the
wants of its customers in all respects, the
ties of friendship between the subscribers
and the paper are as hard to break by an
outside third party as the link which
binds old friends in business or social life
Occasionally defects and errors in a news
paper are overlooked by those who have
become attached to it, through its peru
sal for years. They sometimes become
dissatisfied with it on account of some
thing which had slipped into its columns,
and may stop taking it; but the absence
of the familiar sheet at their homes and
offices, for a few weeks, becomes an in
supportable privation, and they hasten
to take it again, and possibly apologize
for having it stopped. No friendship on
earth is more constant than that coz
tracted by the reader for journal which
makes an honest and earnest effort to
merit its continued support. Hence a
conscientiously conducted paper becomes
a favorite in the family.

How Much Must I Pray?
BY THOMAS o. LOWE.

The instances of importantly in the
Word of God do not teach US that this is
the way of a salvation for the unsaved.
The Devil would gladly have souls strug-
Cling to esclpe from him believe that it
is, and many, perhaps most of them, do;
but the importantly is on the other side.
The Syro, Phenecian woman pressed on
in spite of encouragement. and won
from the dear Lord healing for her daugh-
ter and sweetest commendation for her
self; but she was already a believer.
The principle on which the Lord acts
with the two classes is different 1t is a
precious thing to him to test the faith of
one of his redeemed ones,-mole precious
is it than gold that perishes,- but for the
poor sinking soul 1t is enough if he cry
out like Peter, realizing his need and
that Jesus is his only help, Lord, save
me"
When the father of the lunatic boy
came asking help, the Lord held him off
for a little: "If thou canst believe all
things are possible to him that beleveth." F"
But when the leper comes, saying. Lord,
if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean"
the immediate answer is: II will; be
thou clean" When Jairus would urge
the Lord along to his house, where his
little daughter lay dying, he kindly
represses his impatience, saying: Fear
not, only believe" But when the poor
publican, shifting upon his breast, says,
God be merciful to me a sinner" he
goes down to his house justified, and no
other prayer is needed.
Among all the precious illustrations of
free grace, there is none sweeter than the
forgiveness of the woman (which was
sinner" in the house of Simon the Phar
She ond HnIinu HIM
clining at the table, says nothing, but
washes those dear feet with her tears,
and wipes them with the hair of her
head. Was there importantly here ?
The record does not give US one word of
hers She thankfully recognized her
Saviour, and wept for joy that she had
found him, and this was all. Yet to this
believing silence came those blessed
words: Thy faith hath saved thee-thy
sins are forgiven thee" The whole scene
is lovely commentary upon John l: II:
"As many as received him, to them gave
he power to become the sons of God"
The lost one simply received the Saviour,
and the work was done.
The importantly. l have said, is all
upon the other side Men with their
backs turned to God are fastening head
long to the pit, while like loving father
He is crying: Turn ye; why will ye die?
hear, and your soul shall live; look unto
Me and be ye saved; come unto me and
l will give you rest"
Dear brother, lost and found, let there
be JOY in the presence of the angels to-
day, because you have listened to the
importantly of God. Now then, as
though God did beseech you by me, We
pray you in Christ's stead, be ye recon
ciled to God

him back to Newburyport, putting him
under the tuition of Deacon Ezekiel Bart

The Sword of Sixty-0ne.
BY EDWARD EENAUD.

Ho gallant farmers, tried and true,
For whom earth's teeming breast
Brings forth each year its bounties new
And crowns the green hills crest,
Pause for one moment from the ploW
Before your work be done,
For 10! 1t CLEANS before you now
The sword of sixty-one!
Leave, leaye the sickle in the corn,
Which turns from green to gold
Gird up the loins at early morn
Ere yet the day grows old
Go set the battle in array,
And fight the fight once more;
Shout, shout them f1ercely in the fray
The battle-cries of yore!
Not once or twice in by-gone years
You left the team a-field;
Left sounds of home for alien ears;
Left harveSt-home and yield.
Not once or twice you barred the brand
Mid roar and boom of gun,
To charge fierce foemen, sword in hand
The sword of Sfxty-one.
But now that foeman stands at bay;
The vanquished claims the crown;
Strike home! for on an older day
You struck the treason down.
He bides his time to seize the seat,
Sore need to watch and walt;
Up! up! the watchword stern repeat
The foe is at the gate!
The Southern cross sets pale behind
The sere palmetto tree,
Whe re Ashley Sullen waters WIND
To seek the sullen sea;
But still our banner holds each star
Those stars you nobly won
And still our emblem shines afar-
The sword of sixty-one.
No more the battles fearful din
Roars loud from shore to shore;
Yet still we fight to lose or win
The rights our fathers wore.
The vote that bids the storm cloud lit
Shall surely right the wrong,
For the race it is not to the swift,
Or the battle to thI strong.
On happy hearths of hundred homes
Where household fires are lit,
A sturdy sire who seldom roams-
The farmer, loves to sit;
But high above, on white washed wall.
With bayonet bright and gun,
Hangs, proudest trophy OF them all,
The sword of sixty-one.
The hour has come, the hour has come
To guard the prize we hold;
Arouse arouse though Tongues be dumb
The wolf is in the fold
Up! up and hasten to the fight;
The days are bright and long;
Ho, farmers rally for the right
Ten hundred thousand strong
I see them break-a shattered crew
hear the beating drums;
Still floats our flags bespangled blue;
The conquering hero comes!
And through the clouds that drift afar,
The war-clouds, dark and dun,s
see it shining like star
The sword of SiXty-One.
