INSCRIPTIONS ON EGYPTIAN ToMBs.

At the entrance of one of the tombs at
Ell Kah, in Upper Egypt, the stone-wall
speaks as follows of the Egyptian buried
within
"He loved his father and brother. and
honored his mother. He never entered his
house with IN angry heart. He never
favored the nobleman above the simple"
OF another Egyptian, also buried Mt Ell
Kab more than four thousand years ago, the
rock says, speaking in the person of the de-
ceased
"On earth 1 was a prudent and wise
man, and my soul ever loved God. If / was
q brother to the noble, l was a father to the
poor, and never scattered hatred among
men,"
On the rock-wall of another tomb the
inmate thus addresses those who enter it
Il will tell you, o ye that live after me,
how it was with me during my life. l was
not naughty, neither did / curse, neither
did ! %revile, neither did I love to quarrel
with my %neighbor. l never withstood the
poor and oppressed, but always sought by
word and deed for reconciliation"
TIL inscription on the statue Of one Of
the priests of the Egyptian Pallas, at Sails,
who lived ut the unhappy time when Cam
byses undertook his military expedition
against Egypt, begins in the same way with
the words:
81 honored my father and respected my
mother, and loved my brother. / provided
burial for those that died and were not laid
in the earth, and supported the children
who were born. 1 founded houses for them,
and filed them, with good deeds, as a faith
err dealeth by his own children. For, be-
hold it was an evil time in sails, when the
great disaster passed over Egypt"
The following touching confession in
scribed on the side wall of the famous vanlt
of Benz Hnssan, does more honor to the
Provincial Governor whom it
rates, than the list of his warlike traits,
which the same stone records
81 will relate what ! have done. I was
full of goodness, and my love was bound
less. Never did | Cypress the poor mans
child, never did l offend the widow. 1 left
the fisherman ~undisturbeG, and the shep-
herd in quiet. Never did l burthen a man
with forced labor. There was no famine
in my day, and the bread never failed, for
1 planted the fields of my domain, from
north to south to its utmost boundaries,
that l might distribute food to its jewellers,
and that none might go unfed- I aided the
widow Us 1 did the matron, and when I
gave AWAY l never preferred the man of
high standing to the humble. "-Reu. DR..

There is something melancholy in the
sudden closing of such a career as Bay
ard Taylor's. 1t is only lately that he
left the country to which he was heartily
loyal, and, followed by the cheers of his
fellow-countrymen. with his blushing
honors thick upon him, took high place
in the foreign service. He had other
labors, literary ard diplomatic. before
him, in which we had reason to believe
that he would be nobly successful. But,
in the prime of manhood, suddenly, and
almost without warning, he is cut down.
Yet his career was we'll rounded. His
fame is secure, and the lasting lesson
which such an honest, industrious and
unselfsh life must impress upon human
ity is full and complete. The institutions
of the American Republic. the incentives
which our manner of life offers to honest
ambition, and the facilities which every
self-helpful man finds on every hand,
are exempli6ed in the lives of our emf
nent men. In his sphere, Bayard Taylor
will surely be shining example to gen.
erations of Americans.-Nea0 York Times.

FAREWELL 1878.

The year 1873 closes tomorrow
at midnight, and all its events will be
recorded with the history of the past.
The year has been fraught with great
blessings to the nation, though here and
there pestilence and drought and minor
calamities have occurred. Perhaps less
severe accidents, causing injury to lives
have occurred in our own country and
vicinity, than usual, though some severe
railroad, and sea casualties have hap
pened. In national affairs there is a
brighter and more peaceful look. The
excitement of important elections has
passed by without rancor or danger, and
gradually the wounds occasioned by the
late war are being healed. In financial
matters the year had seen many failures
and some distress, but the difference be-
tween the value of paper money and
gold has disappeared, and the country,
after sixteen years of fuctuation and
uncertainty, to-day finds its paper and
its gold alike honored, at home and
abroad.
1t is true the period of depression is
still on us, but the past year will be
noted as a debt-paying year.. Not only
have the government and other great
debtors reduced their debts, but private
individuals who were indebted have IL
almost every case paid some of theil
obligations. This indicates prosperity
national and individual, and shows tha
If we were only free from the incubus
Of debt, it would be a time of unusua
prosperity. Everything brings Low
price, but there is great compensation
is this; for, as rule, we buy and sci
about equal values in our deal with tn
world. When we sell low, we buy low
wages are low, but bread and clothing
were never much lower. Produce i
cheap, but its purchasing power is great
The year now closing has carrie,
many loved ones to the grave; but tn
living have journeyed on still nearer t
the spirit world, where they may hop
ere long, to join the great company gone
before. If the year has been filled wit
good deeds and honest endeavors, wei
and good, if it has witnessed dark an
sinful scenes in our lives, then let ther
be buried out of sight and remembrance
with higher resolves for the future.
That the blessings of peace, prosper
ty and happiness may attend all on
readers for the New Year, is our wis
and prayer.

THE TRADE DOLLAR.

Among the numerous silver bills Of
fered in Congress are two or three which
are to make the trade dollars legal
tender; that is to compel everybody to
accept them in the payment of debts at
at 100 cents each. There are about
thirty-five millions of these dollars in
circulation. They were coined for ex-
portatlon, in accommodate those who
could use them in other countries in
payment for goods. They are not and
never were money. The government
stamp upon them simply attests the
quantity and ineness of the silver they
contain. and, by doing this, it made
more convenient than bullion. Most of
them were used in foreign countries and
remained there until spectators thought
they might make a handsome sum by
buying them up at their real value,
about So cents on hundred, and then
securing the passage of law compelling
the government to pay for them their
face value, as the passage of any of the
bills making them legal tender would
do. A few days ago the secretary of
the treasury received from China an Of
fer to sell him million trade dollars to
be delivered in San Francisco in sixty
days. He replied that he would buy
them as he bought other silver, pay for
them their real value, but, as there was
no law compelling him to do it, he
should not pay Chinese spectators 100
cents for the amount of silver in trade
dollar, when he could buy the same
amount of American miners for So cents.
The attempt to palm these clipped
dollars on to the public is swindle on
the part of some one, and the only way
to be protected is to protect ones self by
refusing to handle them at all. Con.
gress is liable. under the pressure that
will be brought to bear by the silver
ring, to make them legal tender. This
done the public will be defrauded ou
of fifteen cents on every dollar crowded
on to people, as in the case of the lega
tender dollar. 1t is shame that (;
government that claims any respectable
ity whatever, has chosen to dishonor it
self in the eyes of the world, by coinin!
a money that is worth less than it pur
ports to be. 1t is swindle and dis
grace.

SNOW.

While we have been Inconvenience
for want of snow, there has been an
unusual amount in some other sections.
In England, Scotland and in some of
the continental countries of Europe
there has been great fall of snow and
much severe weather. In the West
and North West snow fell early, and
has been altogether too plenty. During
last week an unprecedented snow fall
visited western New York and other
parts, putting a complete embargo on
railroad travel. Not less than four feet
fell in the vicinity of Buffalo, and for
several days the Central and other roads
we're completely blOckaded. No through
trains ran for several days.

How RESUMPTION WoRKs.-A we'll
preserved old gentleman entered the sub
treasury building on Wednesday. and
presented 80 $1,000 called bonds for re-
demption. After the usual formalities
had been gone through with and the
necessary papers signed, the clerk placed
upon the counter seven bags containing
$4,000 each IN gold coin. The old
gentleman gasped out:
"Wha-wha-what's this 2"
"Your $50, 200. sir" was the reply.
"But l don't want gold. Give me
legal tenders. l am IA years of age,
and l can't carry those about with me, !"
said the old gentleman struggling to lift
one bag.
ave have no authority to pay legal
tenders, sir. We are redeeming called
bonds in gold"
The old gentleman expostulated, but
in vain. He hurried to the Gallatin
National bank and begged President
Tappen to get him out of the scrape.
Mr.. Tappen explained that all he could
do would be to receive the gold on de-
posit and allow him to draw check
against it. The old gentleman was de-
lighted. He said he did not care what
the arrangement was so that he could
obtain greenbacks instead of the gold.
The banks porter was sent after the
bags, the deposit was made, the check
drawn, and the old gentleman went on

The Barton MONITOR wants to know
why the legislature which has just
adjourned, not only did not decrease our
State tax, but have actually increased
it ?" Because the republican ring is SO
strongly entrenched in power in the
State that it feels it to be safe to defy
public opinion, and continue war sala-
ries, with other expenditures on the
same basis. That is what is the mat
ter, Bro. Blake.-Aryus.
The Argus never seems able to look
upon any matter into which politics en-
tiers without bias. The editor is so
intensely democrat. that he can see
no good in any thing done by the OPP
posite party. In the above instance, he
lays all the blame that is merited by
the present and preceding Legislatures
on the wicked republican ring. In ma
tional affairs he is accustomed to blame
the republican party for every national
misfortune. Such a way of talking may
be allowable in exciting political times,
or on the stump; but when an editor
sits down in his musty sanctum on a
cold winter morning. with his pulse not
above sixty, and then accuses one party
of all our political failings, he is silly.
But about the matter spoken of in
the article quoted above. Our legisla.
ture did not meet the expectations oil
the people in the matter of the reduc.
ton of expenditures, but we are mol
aware that the democrats in that body
are men who would naturally run things
on more economical basis than repuE,
licans. The examples of Mr.. Ely-God

more for bis family than life insurance
for $4,000. which isn't even genteel

dard, of the members from Burlington,
Rutland and Troy, though very forward
in their pretenses for reform" are not
such as to kindle spirit of economy in
the rising generation, and we are inclined
to think they care as little for reform
as the average republican. There is
the same human nature In a democrat
as republican, and men under like
circumstances, usually act alike.
Every party has its bad men and bad
elements, and it is folly to claim every
thing good for one, or to accuse one of all
things evil. Own up, Mr.. Argus. and
say that there is some little good in the
great and good republican party.
