Proverbs.

A gracious woman retaineth hon
or. and strong men retain riches.
The evil bow before the good; and
the wicked at the gates of the right
eous.
Even in laughter the heart is sor-
rowful, and the end of that mirth
is heaviness.
Lying lips are abomiuation to the
Lord; but they that deal truly are
his delight.
A fool dispiseth his fathers in
structioD: bnt he that regardeth
reproof is prudent.
The house of the wicked shall be
ovcrthrown, but the tabernacle of
the upright shall flourish.
Without counsel purposes are dis
appointed; but in the multitude of
counsellors they are established.
Tho kings favor is towards a
wise servant, but his wrath is
against him that causeth shame.
A man shall eat good by the
fruit of his mouth, but the soul of
the transgressor shall eat violence.
When it goetb well with the right
eous, the city rejoiceth; and when
the wicked perish, there is shouting.
A wise servant shall have rule
over a son that causeth shame, and
shall have part of the Inheritance
among the brethren.
In the lips of him that hath un-
derstanding wisdom is found; but a
rod is for the back of him that is
void of observation-disclosures
10, 13.
A good man Ieaveth an inherit
ance to his children's children, and
the wealth of the sinner is laid up
for the just
/ My son, forget not my law, but
let thine heart keep my command
ments, for length of days, and long
life, aud peace, shall they add to
thee.
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; con-
slider her ways and be wise: Which,
having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
provideth her meat in the summer,
and gathereth her food in the har-
vest. How long wilt thou sleep, o
sluggard when wilt thou arise out
of thy sleep? Yet little sleep, a
little slumber, little folding of the
bands to sleep: So shall thy poverty
come as one that travelleth, and thy
want as an armed man.
Happy is the man that findeth
wisdom, and the man that getteth
understanding. For the merchan-
disc of it is better than the merchan-
disc of silver, and the gain thereof
than find gold. She is more precious
than rubies; and all things thou
canst desire are not to be compared
unto her. Length of days is in her
right hand; and in her left hand
riches and honor. Her ways are
ways of pleasantness and all her
paths are peace. She is a tree OF
life to them that lay hold upon her;
and happy is every one that retain
eth her.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: There is q
large element throughout thu United States
appealing to the Government Tor large issue
of fat money. /, in my humble opinion, think
that if the farmers would study cause and eff
feet little more, and diversity their products
and adopt the Jeffersonian plan of Ameri-
can independence of other nations, it would
be much better for all concerned. For in
stance, if the people could only be edu-
Gated to the liberation of the protection
given to infant industries, such as the manu-
facture of sugar and the tin and various
other industries, also flag culture until we
could produce what we consume. and thus save
to the people, direct, from 500 10000 to $780,
600. 600 per year, with the balance of trade that
we already have of nearly 5000, COO, 600 per year.
it would be more conducive of stable prosperity
and add more money to our volume OF cur
rency than anything that could be done, and
would give it permanency that cannot be done
in any other way.
The NATIONAL TRIBUNE gave US an able
article on the above subject a few years ago.
but it has omitted them of late. The princi-
pie is of such vital Importance to the American
citizens that it should be kept before them I'M
Til they see and realize it's great benefcence.
Were the American citizens to fully establish
these principles Of American independence-Of
keeping at home every dollar that is sent
abroad each year for things that We can pro-
duce here--it would soon release every farm of
its mortgage and make us the most independent
and PROSPEROUS Nation in the world.
Those principles should be discussed Al nom

VERY GOOD PENSIONS.
What Retired Officers of the Army Receive
in Lieu Thereof.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Your admir-
able criticism on Gen. John Gibbons letter
has raised the inquiry in my mind of How
much is the Government of tne United States
paving to retired officers?" / mean officers re-
tired not for disability acquired in tho service,
but by reason of age or length Of service These
men who received such high rewards for SER
vices because of tho education they had re-
ceived at the public expense, will learn, If am
not much mistaken, when they have succeeded
in convincing the people of the United States
that military service rendered in time of war
merits no reward, they will convince them that
very highly paid service in time Of peace does
not entitle men to pensions averaging great
many times as much as those paid for war SER
vices. do not draw any pension, but have just
had to give up the best place ever had because
of disability directly traceable to service in the
army in time of war; and am to be called ugly
names by these men if / ask for five per cent
of the pension Gen. Gibbou receives.
Please let US know how much these men,
educated and supported from childhood by the
Government, and whose elegant leisure can be
filed in no better way than growing at the
same Government for the pittance given 10 the
private soldiers who suffered for years till
forced by accumulated disabilities to ask for
Goth part of the amount allowed to these men.
If the pensions are to be cut off let US begin by
eoualizng them. The calling it relieved from
duty on pay will not do; it is as much PEN
sion as the pittance received by the private.
Let us have some statistics.-A SOLDIER Nor
