Debt and Pistols.

The discussion giving a pension to
Thomas Jeferson's grandchild has evoked
some curious facts concerning the power.
ty of the earlier Presidents. Madison
and Monroe were in desperate eXtremi.
ties. They had talents of the highest
order, but the money making gilt was
denied them. Mr.. Monroe tried to make
q comfortable support in New Vow, but
failed. 1t is related that his life was
embittered by debts that he could not
pay. He was especially harraSsed by
one importunate creditor. At last, when
this man made his customary dunning
visitation, the old.ex.P President pulled
from drawer pair of dueling pistols
and said: "Sir, owe you money. to
my sorrow, and cannot pay it. You
have bounded me almost to madness.
Now, can endure no more. Take one
of these pistols and will keep the other;
and SO, let us fight it out. you decline
this proposition and continue to perse'
cute me uselessly, 1 will shoot you like a
dog" The man decamped, and yet be
simply demanded his pound of flesh. II
it be true, as political economists say,
that ninety.fye per cent. of mankind
are financial failures, what terrestrial
hell this earth becomes to those who
owe money and cannot pay it. The
GLORIOUS privilege of being indepen-
dent" is shared only by the few. The
majority are in debt or in the graveyard.
Upon the tombstone placed above the
remains of Adah Isaacs Menken are
these words: "Thou Knowest." Some
irreverent satirist says that the truest in
scription on the tombstones of the mil
lions of the departed would be as to
each individual: "Thou Owest." Luck
lily, perhaps, for many unfortunates their
monuments, if they have any, are not
inscribed so much by the hand of Truth
as the hand of Charity.-Cor. augusta
