BOYS AND MEN.
You arc not now, but you will soon
be men. Then you will have your
own way to make in the world.
Do you mean to be idle and fretful,
and deceive people, and give them
a bad opinion ci you ? Or do you
intend to go to work and act brave-
ly and n»bly, and do your duty,
and leavoaname behind you when
you dio which the world will love
and respect? Take care—now is
the time ! Did you ever notice a
large tree that grew crooked, and
was an ugly eyesore on that ac-
count! Perhaps it stood on tho
lawn right in front of the porch,
and your father would have liked
very mnch to straighten it. It was
impossible to do so. A hundred
horses could not have dragged it
erect. And yet thinlc of the time
when the large tree was *a
small sapling ; a child might have
straightened it then, and it would
have grown properly, and every
one would have admired it. Bj'
this I mean that boys should grow
straight, not crooked. You are
young now, as the tree was once ;
begin in time, and you will be as
straight as an arrow when you are
a man. If you wait, it will be too
late. The way to make men erect
and noble, is to take them when
they are boys and show them that
there is nothing in this world so
noble as doing their duty. Once
more I say, remember that though
you are boys now, you will be men
soon.
You may do good or evil. If
you arc false and worthless, j-ou
and everybody else will have a
hard time of it. You may be sol-
diers, judges, statesmen and presi-
dents. What you say or do, may
decide the fate of millions of other
people. These will look to you ;
and more than all, God will watch
yon, and t&ld you to a strict ac-
count. If you are brave and true
and unselfish, Heaven will bless
you, and ewery one who knows
you will love and respect you. If
you are mean and cowardly, and
think of nothing bnt your own
pleasure, God and man will be dis-
pleased with you. Which will you
be 'i The best of all things is to be
ure and do your duty—Word and

Industry.
Man must havd occupation, or be
miserable. Toil is the price of
sleep and appetite, of health and
enjoyment. The very neccssit
which overcomes our natural slot!
is a blessing. Tho whole world
does uot contain even a briar or
thorn which nature could have
spared. We are happier with the
sterility which we can overcome
by industry than we could havo
been with spontaneous plenty and
unbounded prolusion. The body
and the mind are improved by the
toil that fatigues. Tho toil is a
thousand times rewarded by the
pleasure which it bestows. Its en-
joyments are peculiar. No wealth
can purchase them, no indoltence
can taste thein. They flow only
from exertions which repay tho
laborer.
For Various Summer Disorders,
Such as cramps and soreness, "Potneroy's
Plasters are a sure and effective remedy, and
no family or tourist should be without them.

VA0LT8 FO* SILVER.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
It is said that all the available
room for the storage of silver is
filled, and that congress must
either suspend its further coinage
or provide a suitable vault for its
deposits. There should be no hesi-
tation which course to adopt. A
perfectly safe steel-lined vault in-
accessible to burglars can be con-
structed, and, if necessary, guard-
ed by some of our idle soldiers.
The cost of such a structure is an
significant item when compared
with the gain it would be to the
government in saving the silver
from deterioration by wear and
consequent depreciation in value.
It is said that in every period of
about forty years our coin becomes
so much worn that recoinage is
necessary at a very considerable
loss. Coin certificates are much
more convenient, and their loss by
casualties are a clear gam to the
government. Gold, as well as sil-
. ver, will be deposited in exchange
for certificates, and as they are
payable not in gold or silver but
in coin, the government would suit
its own convenience as to the kind
of coin in which it would
redeem the certificates when pre-
sented.
Both metals being coined with-
out limit as to amount in their es-
tabiished ratio, their exchangeable
value would never vary. This
free coinage of both metals, and
the adoption of Senator Beck's
proposition to issue com instead
of silver certificates, will effec-
tually dispose of tho business of
bullion gambling.
Only about $6,000,000 in one and
two dollar silver certificates have
yet been issued. The business
community is suffering great in-
convenience in not having an ade-
quate supply of small bills. The
criminal destruction of our $1 and
12 treasury notes renders a large
volume of small coin certificates
indispensable. With all our coin,
treasury notes, certificates and
national bank bills, we have an in-
sufficient circulating medium for
the transaction of the business of
this great country. Our vast re-
sources would develop much more
rapidly, a new impulse would be
given to every department of in-
dustry, labor would be more fully
and profitably employed, if we
could have a constantly increas-
ing supply of currency. There
can be no safer or better way to
effect this desired end than to in-
definitely increase the coinage of
silver, depositing it in secure vaults
and issuing coin certificates.
Unless the present congress
adopts somo plan to prevent this
accumulation of surplus money in
the treasury—an accumulation
brought about by enormous taxa-
tion—it will not require the wis-
dom of a seer to foretell impend-
ing disaster. Our great statesman
are plotting to secure party advan-
tage, and seem to care little fortbe
higher interests of their country.
