gamblers and spectators and the
ideal of the miser and thief. The
object of 81 much alteration, it be-
comes naughty and sensitive, and
shrinks at the appr~ach of danger,
and whenever it is most needed it
always disappears at the slightest
alarm. 1t begins to look for refuge.
1t flies through the nations at war
to the nations at peace.
War makes it a fugitive. No peo-
pie in a great emergency ever found
a faithful ally in gold. 1t is the
most cowardly and treacherous of
all Metals 1t makes no treaty that
it does not break. 1t has no friends
whom it does not sooner or later
betray. Armies and navies are not
maintained by gold. In time of
panic and calamity, shipwreck and
disaster, it becomes the chief agent
and minister of ruin. No nation
ever fought a great war by the aid
of gold. On the contrary, in the
crisis of greatest peril it becomes
an enemy more potent than the foe
in the field. But when the battle is
won and peace has been secured,
gold reaPpears and claims the fruits
of victory.-John James Ingalls,.

disport himself with so much self
consciousness and winning unction,
and therefore he had some strange
cases to consider. One Monday
morning q disorderly Of the previous
Saturday night was called, under the
name of Jean Armour, to stand forth
and be charged.
The panels name touched the
magistrate's imagination at once and
gave him pause. He could not think,
he said, to sentence one with the
name of Robbie Burns lass, and
therefore he would dismiss the 40.
oused with a caution. On retiring
the astonished culprit vehementl-
thanked the Judge and exclaimed,
with gay surprise, my certy. Rob.
