IMITATION.

Two years ago, in arguing against the the
ores of the tiatmoney delusionists, the FREE
| TRADER said, ut Is not by issuing more cur
rency that congress can make money plenty
but by placing our present currency upon I
solid specie basis. This will bring back Il
our business men and capitalists that imma
teral but important element confidence, which
alone can revive business, and revival Of
business will create demand for money, anc
that. and not legislation, will make money
plenty"
We are induced to revert to this by reading
Comptroller knOX's report soon TO be submitted
to congress but already published. The comp

ter class with means of study which their
private resources would not enable such
students to procure.
1t is proposed 50 to arrange this build
ing that it Will be open all hours Of day
light for professors in Seminary and Col
lege and students Of the Seminary, to use
the books in the large saloon provided
with facilities for writing, in examining
references or making extracts or other
plans of study And these privileges
will always be extended to all proper
persons, especially our settled ministers,
and all pious, Christian men, in order
that they may, from time to time, prose
cute studies for which their private libra
ries may not afford adequate means
Even men of secular literary pursuits, in
works on political economy, on general
law, on medicine, on history, and in the
various departments Of general literature
Will find advantages IN using such a Il
brary, not available except in our State
Library or in those of higher literary In
situations.
The Library itself having been for for
ty years of its history growing by small
PAGES, Is, in its most important depart
ments, those relating to the clerical pro
fession, peculiarly valuable. The add
tons were made from small pecuniary
means, and hence the question Of suita-
bleness was duly scanned The additions
from DR.. Rice's library were made by
himself, with similar careful scrutiny
The need of such building as we pro,
pose, though temporarily depressed by ex
listing extensions of room, is still pressing
and yearly must become more so. Al
the cases are nor nearly full, and all th'
space IN this building, available consist
emily with other uses, is occupied.
Let us accept the success Of this enter
prise, thus far secured, as signal evidence

Court.
1--WE the subscribers Inhabitants of
Lancaster County do certife the Worship
full Court of the said County, that We in
tend to make use of place on the Land
of John Mitchell in this County, as a place
for Public Worship of God according to
the practice Of Protestant Dessenters Of
the Presbyterian Denomination, And we
desier that this our certificate may be
registered in the Records of the Court ac
cording to the direction Of an act of Pari:
commonly called the act Of federation.

country home while he could.

country home while he could.
A short time before that, young wo-
man called on the Sisters Of the Stran-
ger, to get the address of a noted veal
thy and benevolent Christian lady of this
city. She had seen announcements in the
papers of the large donations this lady
had given colleges and other institutions.
She felt as if all that was necessary for
her was to wait on the lady and make her
appeal, and she would be amply provided
for. Absurd as this was the Sisters wrote
to the lady stating the case and soliciting
an interview for this young person. OF
course it was refused The life of no
well-known person in New York would
be worth having if every adventurer
could intrude upon his privacy and con-
sumo his time The young lady from the
country seemed to be utterly amazed, and
her case is mentioned only because it is
the latest representative of large class.
tits very easy to say There are very
many good-hearted people in New York
who have the ability to help" That is
true. In no place that we know is there
more benevolence and more practical ex-
hibition thereof than in the City Of New
York. But each charitable person al
ready has a sufficiently large circle of
benefciaries, and the classes for whose
benefit this article is addressed do not
propose to come to the city as tramps and
paupers; and we have thought it only
fair to such to lay these warning state
ments before them.
The fact is, there is no place like great
city in which to achieve great success,
but unless a man have some money or
much brain and great tact, the city will
crush him to death. The vast city is at
tractive. People flock from all quarters.
There are ten applications for every place.
There are at least $4,000 adults in New
York between whom and starvation there
intervenes only the helping hand of pub
lie and private charity These people
can afford to work for almost nothing.
There are boys here whose parents must
support them, and are willing that they
shall work for dollar week rather
than do nothing. Strangers mnst COM
pete with them Advertise that you want
a clerk for $40 aweek, and the police will
be compelled to guard your door from the
throng that will come sweeping up at the
hour Advertise for boy, and men will
come in platoons, sometimes gray-headed
men, sIi d.. ~
There is room enough in New York for
men who can hold it, but man must
come prepared to hold his position long
time without help. A great city is great
soil to man who has so much sap that he
can live on his sap through al long drought.
But it is dreadful place to drudge in.
Men work for years and do not rise an
inch, and then if hard times come and
they are thrown out, there is nothing for
them.
If you can get the use Of blind mule
and two acres of land do not come to
New York. Do not come without money
to bring you and carry you home, and
keep you until you go home. If thenyou
have trade or profession, you may sue
coed. 1t is no joke to be thrown penni-
less on vast city-ReU. DR.. Deems, IN

Action taken by the Presbytery of Roam
oke, in session at Briery church, on the
subject of the sale of ardent spirits
Whereas the use of distilled liquors as
a beverage has a direct tendency to de-
stroy domestic happiness, corrupt society,
increase crime, and drag men down to
poverty, degradation and ruin; and
Whereas the traffic in these liquors a,
a beverage promotes the use of them, by
bringing them within reach Of all people,
and placing temptation in their way;
therefore be it
Re8oHed, l. That in the judgment Of
this Presbytery it is inconsistent with the
Christian character to engage in this
traffic
Re8ozued, 3 That it is the duty of pas
tors and sessions, whenever there are rea-
sonable grounds for supposing that mem
bers of the church under their jurisdiction
are about to engage in this tr"fic, aftec-
tionately to warn them against it.
Re8ohed, 3. That in respect to those
members who are already engaged in this
business, it is the duty of the sessions to
whom they owe obedience in the Lord, to
use every means in the way Of private
entreaty and expostulation and official
admonition, to induce them to stop it;
and there may be cases, in the judgment
of this Presbytery, in which it may be
necessary for the sessions to proceed to
the extent of debarring offenders from the
privileges Of the church.

BE SURE 1T Is YOUR WIFE.

The arkansas Democrat says Last night
two buggies stopped at the Capital Hotel and
two gentlemen jumped out almost simultan-
eously and went into the hotel, leaving two
ladies in their respective buggies. One of
the men came out in advance of the other
and by the uncertain light thrown from the
hotel was led aside from the actual fact in the
little matter of getting in the right buggy.
In word, Mr.. j., got in with Mrs. F., who
were so totally unknown to each other, so far
as acquaintanceship is concerned, as if one
had died ten years ago in Africa and the
other hadn't been born. As married men
often do, Mr.. j., drove some distance before
speaking. Finally he remarked
"I've got corn on my toe-the one you
persist in putting your foot on, tOo-that
hurts about as bad US the common run of
things generally do"
The lady was very much surprised, and
rather haughtily replied;
You've been trying to pick q quarrel
with me all day and now to make the mat
ter more eexasperoting,you change your voice
10 an unnatural growl."
" It's you, madam, who have changed.
My voice is natural. am not trying to as
sume anything. You screech like an old
gate"
You are an old fool"
"Give my teeth here you shsn't wear
them another minute"
Teeth teeth What in the world do you
meanY
But just then driving through a flood o.
light. the parties recognized that they didn'
recognize.
Madam" said Mr.. j., stopping the hors,
and Strengthening himself up, hope yol
will excuse me, but would like to know
how you come in my buggy, and further
more I'd like liuls intelligence ss regard
the whereabouts Of my wife. What hay,
you done with her, madam"
4" don't know what you mean, sir. Ge
ont of my buggyY
" Your buggy why, madam, you are be
side yourself"
Yea, and beside yourself, which fact de
plore to such an extent that will be force,
10 call the police"
Police polics 70 was shouted lustily,an,
when Officer Daley, came 10 the spot tn
woman insisted on the mans arrest.
The buggy was driven back 70 the Capita
just in time TO meet another buggy the oc
eupants of which had a similar experience.
