strain states from passing laws whicl
shall in words, substance, or effect
derogate from the exclusive use of the
the national money, whether such laws
be called specific contract laws or 9th.
erwise.
20, Governments should not engage
or participate in banking. The issuing
of money by agovernment to its people,
and the reception of the same in re-
turn, in payment of its revenues, is no
more like banking than the purchase
OF provisions by man for his family
and the payment of his debts, is like
merchandising.
u. Money coined of the precious
metals is timid and cOwardly, and al
ways sneaks away in times of trial and
danger; while paper money is brave
and patriotic-a bond of fidelity for its
full face between the citizen and the
nation creating it, in all emergencies.
If the nation stands, his money remains
good; if it falls, his money goes also-as
it ought to.
%. The issuing of paper money by a
sovereignty for and in full payment of
all its expenses, and the reception of
the same money for all its revenues,
keeps up the healthy circulation of the
life-blood of commerce through the
heart of the nation, its treasury, in
harmony with the analogies of all
nature. S. w. IoLLADAY.

Life Insurance..

Hon. w. V. Lucas, Auditor of the
State of Iowa, in the 18th annual re-
port Insurance department year 1881
says: "The value of Life Insurance is
recognized by all classes and profes.
sions of people. The avidity with which
people seek life insurance in cheap com.
panies is proof enough of the PROPOSE
tion. All kinds of organizations have
assumed to furnish insurance upon hu-
man life. AS a rule all new systems
and plans should be critically examin-
ed before money is paid to jealous
agents and uncrupulous managers.
Perhaps no busines furnishes more
loop-holes through which rogues escape

A Timely Lay Sermon.

New YORK Herald,
Some time ago a young woman who
had been abandoned by the man who
should have been her husband found
herself homeless, friendless and about
to become mother, and the fact that
she was in the City of Brotherly Love
did not lessen her troubles in the least.
After wandering about for days rebuff
ed by those who were fully able to
help her, she got nights lodging and
few cents from a girl rs friendless
and almost as poor us herself. The
next day another woman who in one
important essential of character was
no better than she should be, displayed
for the girl that human interest that
more reputable people had failed to
show. She took her wretched compan-
ion to one institution after another, all
of them protesting to exist to befriend
the friendless and help the helpless,
but in every case the application was
unsuccessful. As poor as the being
she was befricnding the woman of the
town plOdded and starved with her
wretched charge, but all to no avail,
Finally the stranger pawned & ring for
twenty-five cents, hired a room and on
bare floor her child was bOrn-dead,
as she claims. The commonwealth
sought to prove that the child was
killed 10y its mother, but all the evil
dence given on the stand convicted the
community instead of the mother. For
tunately, the judge had a heart as well
as a head, and in discharging the pris-
oner he arranged mock philanthropy
in terms that should compel all Phila-
delphia to hide in sack.cloth and ashes,
and should also show to many another
community the hypocrisy of claiming
to help the needy while those most in
need are allowed to starve and die.
Placing in full view of the audience
the two women who had done what
they could for the wanderer-the poor
working woman and the woman of the
street.-the put the shame on the Chris
tians and the rich men and women
who allowed the prisoner to go starv-
ing and alone to an experience that
even to women with happy homes and
numberless friends is like going down
into the gates of death. No wonder
every one in the court uncon.
scioUsly stood up with barred head as
the judge arranged the community
for its inhumanity. Would that
preachers everywhere would make the
incident an opportunity to lay bare the
hearts of their hearers, that there may
be beginning of the end of that form
of benevolence that denies help to
those who are most in need of it.
