A MARRIAGE PORTION.

There lived ABOUT I'VE VI OLA
miles from Easton, Pa, a few years
since, an honest farmer named
Henderson, who had two very pref
ty daughters, Ellen and Maude,
The first was about twenty-three
years of age, while the latter was
nineteen. The farmer was thrift
ty, well-to-do man, though by no
means rich; but the family lived in
excellent style, and the daughters
had received good education.
Both Of these girls were pretty,
but Maude was perhaps the hand
somer. There was no lack of at
tentive young gentlemen at the
farm, though the neighborhood was
not very thickly settled. But
"beauty draws us with single
hair and the young ladies were
the center of a gay little circle of
friends, mostly young gentlemen or
farmers sons in the immediate
neighborhood, and some even from
Easton.
By-and-by it came about that an
earnest, handsome and sturdy
young farmer fell desperately in
love with Maude, and proposed to
her. On her part she loved Harry
Masters above all the young fell
lows she knew, and told him frank
ly that he might speak to her faith
er. In the meantime she confded
the matter to her mother, a kind
hearted, sympathetic parent, who
saw no objection to the choice OF
her daughter, but all was left to
the father to decide.
Farmer Henderson was a very
straightforward and open-mouthed
man. That is, he said exactly
what he meant, no more or less
and that he uttered freely. Wher
Harry Masters called him out one
side and told his especial errand
as to Maude, the father said
"Well, Mr.. Masters, Maude II
young. l wanted Ellen to be mar
ried first; she's oldest, and hav
got Q marriage portion of twelv
hundred dollars to give her; but
haven't laid by anything yet TO
Maude."
81 have got pretty we'll before
hand, Mr.. Henderson, for ma
but twenty-four years old, and W
shall be able to do very well, / hav
no doubt"
"You mean you'll take Maud
without any marriage portion
said the father.
"Yes sir; very gladly"
swell, it's pleasant to hear 20
say 30, because it shows your hol
est affection, Mr.. Masters; but
am too proud, though simp
farmer, to let Maude marry till
can give her a thousand or two

as long as we don't really need

"Then, again, I'd rather Maui
wouldn't marry until her sister

Ellen is very popular with
gentlemen, and will soon be M

"That's Just what / have 81

Masters.

A certain old gentleman, very

habit of wearing his clothes to the
last thread. One of his friends,
meeting him, exclaimed: "They

words, largely to initiate the currency,
and thus to intensity that cheapness
OF money to which We have already
referred. Over and above these sew
eral causes. there is an incipient re-
vival OF enterprise. The last two
harvests have been the most plenti-
ful ever known in America, and in
consequence, the export Of grain has
been unprecedented. At the same
time there has been an immense ex-
portation Of cattle, meat, butter,
cheese. and other produce. The
wealth Of the country has thus large
ly increased, and has permitted cor
responding savings. 1t is inevitable
that In such circumstances there
should be an awakening of specula-
ton. But the lesson taught during
the past six years is too severe and
too recent to be quite forgotten: the
defaults OF railways, State and mum
cipalities, and the bankruptcies OF
manufacturers and credit institu-
tions, have been too numerous to al
low the resulting discredit to pass
away 80 soon. As a matter Of course,
therefore, speculation is at FIRST ven-
tursd upon only where credit is above

One OF England's ablest Weeklies.
the Saturday Reuie,C has an able ar.
ticle on the refunding OF the public
debt OF the United States. 1t gives
what 1t conceives to be the reasons
for the great demand for four per
cents. and the favorable conclusions
that 1t has reached as to the condition
OF American finances as follows: "Tbe
first and principal cause unquestion-
ably Is the eheapness OF money, which
is only another phrase for the stag
nation of trade and the discredit OF
ordinary securities. naturally runs up
the prices OF really sound invest
mcnts, Several other causes operate
in the same direction as this. the
principal one. 1t Is felt that further
reduction of interest is not probable
in a country where, in normal times,
the average rate for the use OF money
Is seven per cent. This In itself is an
attraction for investors. Then, again,
every year which passes raises
the credit Of the United States. There
was never any doubt as to the vast
resources Of the country, and there
seems increasing reason to believe
that, however dishonest the politi-
clans may be. the people are resolved
to discharge to the last penny all
their obligations. The successful ac-
complIshment OF resumption on New
Years Day greatly strengthened the
credit OF the Union, and contributed
to swell the extraordinary demand
for its bonds that has since set 10. In
yet another way resumption has ex-
erted q powerful influence. 1t has
not been effected ir what may be
called a natural manner-that is to
say. the treasury notes have not been
withdrawn from circulation: the
treasury simply holds itself prepared
to redeem Its notes when presented.
Thus the effect OF resumption has
been to add gold snd silver coin to

The Indiana Temperance Convention.

The Indiana Blus-ribbon temper
ance Convention at Indianapolis last
week passed of quietly. The Com
mittee chosen to draft resolutions
tending to unite all tho temperance
organizations OF the State, reported
the following which were adopted.
Resolced That Nd sectarian or parli.
sau lines shall bc drawn, and we welcome
all men of whatever creed or politica! faith
to our ranks; and further.
WHEREAS The ribbon temperance
| movement originated in earnest affnrts for
personal reformation, grounds: therefore
Resosred That we are opposed to the use
OF the ribbon movement for political pur-
poses. either for or against any political
party, and we disapprove the call made
for temperance convention to nominate
candidates for political Offices as unwise
and premature.
ResolUed That while We desire strin-
gent laws for the suppression of the evils
of lntemperance, and will rejoice in the
total prohibition Of the liquor traffic, We
demand that all questions Of nominations
cr ether political action be submitted To
the free choice of all temperance people.
The following report OF the commit
tee on the basis of organization was
concurred in:
1. That it is not practicable 10 dissolve
existing temperance organizations. or sc
cure one which shall supersede them all,
and make no recommendation 10 that ef
| feet
2. We recommend that this union per-
feet its organization and conduct its work
In its own way, not as the rival. but the
helper Of all other temperance bodies.
3. We recommend that the executive
committees of all the State temperance or
ganizations in Indiana hold joint meet
| ing. on call of the president of this union,
and agree on plan of operation for con-
centrstion and expression of temperance
sentiments and work.
4. We recommend that this co-opera-
tive executive meeting call mass meet
ing Of the temperance people of the State,
AT some time during the proposed Laporte
temperance camp meeting.
Another temperance convention Is
now in session at Indianapolis. which
was called for the purpose OF nomi-
mating State ticket to be voted for
In 1880. We do not think 1t nsces-
sary to give our opinion OF men who
want to place ticket In the field a
year and half before the election.
