In the enrlier years of my miuistry

and mother were of the vigorous Scotch-Irish
stock; clear-headed and sound hearted
people. The children inheriting strong
health of mind and body, ntid wpro nil
quick-wited mid livelv. I loved them nil
dearly, and came at last to make their fam

own.
One of the son, Kdward. was a fine,

iliowed great talent for business, and was

times.

sorrv, too, life 1 looKeii into mac lair young

and fond mother, who must soon know o
their dishonor.
Hut I had to brush awuy tnese emotions

we are confident that no man but Andrew
Johnson wus ever chosen "Vice President
of the United States who could have pro
voked the scorn of Christendom by such
nn exhibition of native depravity as is made
in the following portion of Johnson's last
Jtessoge!
'Our national credit should be sncredly
observed: but in making provision for our
creditors we should not forget what is duo to
the masses of the people. It may be assum
ed thut the holders of our securities have al
rendv received upon their bonds a larger
amount than their ongiuai investment, mea
sured bv a gold standard. Lpon this
statement of facts it would seem but just
and equitable that the six per cent, interest
now paid by the Government should be ap
plied to the reduction of the principal, iu
semi-auuual installments, which in sixteen
years aud eight mouths would liquidate the
entire national debt. Six per ceut. iu gold
would, nt present rates, be equal to nine per
cent, in currency, and equal to the payment
of the debt one'nnd a half times in a frac
tion less than seventeen yeats. Thisi in
connection with the other advantages deriv
ed from their investment, would atl'ord to the
public creditors a fair and liberal compsnsa
tion for the use of their capitul, and with
this they should be satisfied. Tho lessons
of the past admonish the lender thai it is
not well to be over-anxious in exacting from
the borrower rigid compliance with the let-
er of tho bond.'
COMMENTS BY THE TRTUtWE.
Mr. Johnson has probably borrowed money
u his day, und may have done so when his
lebts were so heavy and his prospects so
bad, tl.at his note was not worth half its
face. Let us tupposo him drawn into a diffi
cult law suit; which involved all he was
worth. He applies to a thrifty ueighbor
for $5, 000, being in absolute wunt of that
sum to prosecute his suit, to judgmeut.
The prudent capitalist inquires us to the se
curity, aud is pointed to the estate in litiga
tion. "Yes, but if you lose tho suit, you
will have uo estuto." 'Well," ho respouds,
"if I loso the suit, you must lose the debt;
but if 1 wiu it, I will pay yon double."
Agreed," says tho capitalist; "1 will take
he risk.'" So he borrows the $5,000, aud
with it wins the suit. How much does he
owe? How much oPibt he to pay? Your
auswor decides whether you arc honest or a
villiun.
So fur, we have admitted tho truth of
Johnson's fundamental assumption; but that
assumption is false. What the uutiou owes
its creditors U precisely what it agreed to pay
them no less, no more. Hut the great muss
of them naid for their bonds the full sum
apecified on their face often more. True,
they paid in greenbacks; but those green
backs had cost them their lull amount in
gold. It was tho Debtor, not the Creditor
interest thut profited by tho depreciation of
our Curreucy. Huudreds of thousands paid
off in greenbacks their mortgage aod other
debts which were contracted when the Cur
rency was at par with Gold paid them oflf
with monev obtained by tho sale of their
products or their labor at prices greatly en
shunced by our curreucy depreciation.
livery one can call to tnind instances where
farmers aud others, wh had for years been
struggling to meet the interest on the mort
gage giveu wh:n they bought their lands
were enublo to wipe out that mortage
by the proceeds of two or three crops
sold during the latter years of the War.
Creditors complained (not unjustly) that they
were thus paid off too easily, aud were ans
wered "Lend your mouey to the Government
and you will be paid your bonds in gold; so
"what are you grumbling at?" They did
lend it not by Millions only, but by Hun
dreds of Millions and thereby was the
Uuiou saved. Aud now a President of
the United States tells tho public creditors,
thnt, if they are paid seventeen years
uterest, they may thiuk themselves lucky,
though they uover see a cent of the pnnci
pal! .-.-'! . .
The man who makes this suggestion is a
villiun a brazen, recklecs,bbume!ess villian,
Ho bus sheepish confederates who share his
knavery but luck his effrontery. The people
have set their heel hard down on the whole
tribe in indorsiug the Republican Platform
of 1868 through the election of Grant .and
Colfax. Repudiation will gain nothing
by Johnson's endorsement it will rather

Take Cake of Youn Boots and Shoes.
Hoots and shoes nre expensive items
now-nilnys, therefore a word or two of
advice in regard to their perservation
will flot bo Blniss. In the first place, do
not expose your shoes or boots to extreme
heat. It destroys the vitality of the
leather, and renders it liable to crack ntlu
break This is specially tho ense with
those made of patent leather. Wearing
gum over shoes is decidedly detrimental
to leather. The bent And dampness
caused by therrt destroy the life of the
leather shoes over whicli they are worn
Never use blacking or polish thnt contains
varnish. Mnny person ruin their shoes
by using cheap blacking, of whicli vitrol
forms the principal incredient. Vitrol
blacking destroys the oil in tho leather it
used for nny length of time. To obvi
ate this difficulty, shoes that are regularly
polished should be washed once a month
with warm water, and, when nalt dry
a coat of oil aud tallow applied. They
should then be set aside lor a day or two
to dry. Thus treating the upper leather
will rarely crack or break.

A Curious Story. A Uussian wnler in
tho Paris Revenue Moperne tells some curi
ous stories of Russian and Siberian life
This is one, whose beginning was in the
reign of Kmperor Paul, and whose end un
der the pfe3eut emperor. The Emperor
Paul's favorite was at oue time a young
French actress, of whom he was madly jeal
ous. Oue evening, at a ball, he noticed that
a young man mimed Labanoff was paying her
a greatdeal of attention. He did not lose
his temper, but, at the end of the ball, gave
orders that Lubanoff should be arrested aud
thrown into the citudeL He only intended
to keep him there a few days "to make him
more serious," after which ho proposed to
reprimand him and to appoint him to an of
fice which had been solicited for him. Leb
anoff, however, was forgotten, and remnined
in prison. "At the deathot icholas, Alex

Griswold, "The Fat Contributor," in a re-
ceut contribution in the Cinciunuti Dollur
Times, speaks as follows iu behalf of a luzy
man, not by way of encouraging him in lu-
ziuess, or in the remotest degree to influence
others to adopt his ways but as demonstra
ting t'.iut. some good may be mingled in the
composition of good-for-nothiug.' It is a
subject on which 'Girls' can speak intelli
gently, and his opinions are therefore enti
tled to consideration:
The lazy man is nearly always good-na
tured. He uever flies into a passion. He
might crawl iuto oue, if it were possible,
but the idea of flyiug into anything is pre
posterous.
Who ever heard oi a lazy man oreaaing
iuto a bank, where a crowbar bad to be used,
or drilling iuto a safe? Nobody. Not that
he might not covet his neighbor's goods
thereiu coutuiued, but bis horror of baudliug
crowbars and drill would always deter him
from actually committing buiglary. lie
never runs uwav with his neighbor's wife,
simply on account of the horror he has of
running. If bo is ever known to run, it is
to 6eed. "
He rarely lies about his neighbors, font
too much exertion, but be cau lie about a
bar-inoom.
He iB inestimable service to a billiard
saloon, keeping the chairs warm, and watch
ing the game, for lew would care vo piay
were there are no spectators. Tho fact that
he does this without pay, Jay in and day
out, shows the unselfishness of his nature.
What an industrious man, wno considers bis
time worth something, would want pay for,
the lazy man geuerully does for nothing,
showing a freedom from mercenary motives
that should go tar to bis credit.
, The lazy man gets up revolutions, - insur
rections, or other public excitements, auu
dou't make a nuisance of himself by tramp
iug arout.d the couutry and mubiug inceu
diary speeches to promote the public dis
content. '
Jn his own neighborhood be is never a
busy body in other people's affairs, for the
very idea of being a busy body at auytuiug,
would drive hint out ot his head. . liy the
way, if he ever got out of his head, you
would have to drive him out, for he would'nt
have the energy to go out of his owu accord.
No lazy man ever ran mad. If he went
crazy, it wus because he couldn't go auy
where else without walking. , ; . 4
