When I my baby? Wherei my baby?
But little while ago.
In mv arms I held one fondly,
And a robe of lengthened flow
Covered little knees so dimpled.
And each pink and chubby toe.
Where's my baby ? I remember
Sow about the shoes so red,
Peeping from bis shortened dresses,
And the bright curls on his head ,"
tH the little teeth, so pearly !
And the first sweet words she said.
Where's my baby ? In (he door yard
Is a boy with shingled hair.
Whittling, as he tries to whistle,
With a big boy's manly air ;
With his pants within his boot tops,
But my b by is not there.
Where's my baby ? Ask that urchin,
Let me bear what he will say :
Where's your baby ma?"' he questioned,
With a rougish look and way ;
"tlucss le's grown to be s boy, now,
BigeE.ngb to work and play."
Where's my baby ? Where' my baby ?
Ah ' the years fly oa apace '.
Yesterday I held and kissed it,
In its loveliness and grace ;
But to morrow, sturdy manhood
Takes the little baby's place.

"Please .ir, will you buy my chestnuts?"
"Chestnuts! No!" returned Ralph
Moore, looking carelessly down on the up
tnrticd face, . hose large brown eyes shad
owed by tangled curls of flaxen hair, were
apiealiug so pitifully to his own.
"What do I want of chestnuts?"
"But please sir, do buy 'em," pleaded
tie little one, reassured by the rough kind
dpss of Ids tone. "Nobody seems to care
for them, and and"
She faiily burst iuto tears, and Moore
who had been on the poiut of brushing
carelessly pat her, stepped instinctively.
"Are you very much, la want of the mon
ey?" "Indeed sir, we are," sobbed the child,
"mother st-nt me out, and"
"Xay.liit.'e oncdoo't cry in such a heart
broken way," said Ralph ; smoothing her
Li'ir djwu with careless gentleness. "I don't
want your chestnut, but here's a quarter
fur yea, if that will do you any good."
lie did not stay to hear the delight, inco
hercot thanks the child poured out through
a rainbow of smiles and tears, but strode on
his way muttering between his teeth :
"That cuts off my supply for cigars for
the next twenty-four hours. I don't care
though, for the brown-eyed object really did
'ry as if she hadn't a friend iu the world.
Hane it! I wi-h I was rich enough to
Lclp every poor creature out of the slouch

While Ralph 3Ioore was indulging in these
very natural reflections, the dark -orbed lit

dishing down the streets with quick elastic

An hour or two later, when Bobby, and
Frank and Little Minnie, were tucked snug

stairs, Mrs. Audley told her husband why
she was interested in the fate of a man whose
face she had not seen for twenty years.
Ihats right, my little wife!" said her
husband folding her fondly to his breast
when the simple tale was concluded, "never

the days when you needed kindness most.
Ralph Moore was sitting the self same
night in his poor lodgings, beside his ailing
wife's tick bed, when a liveried servant
brought a note from the rich and prosper
ous bank director, Charles Audley.
"Good news, Bertha!" he exclaimed joy
ously, as he read the-brief words, "We
shall not starve Mr. Audley promises mc
the vacant situation !"
"You have dropped something from the
note Ralph," said Mrs. Moore, pointing to
a slip of paper that lay on the floor.
Moore stooped to recover the estray. It
was a fifty dollar bill neatly folded in a piece
of paper, on which was written : -
"In grateful remembrance of the silver
quarter that a kind stranger bestowed on
the little chestnut girl twenty years ago."
Ralph Moore had thrown his morsel of
bread on the waters of life, and after many
years, it had returned to hitu.
A Strange Story.
The London Herald tells the following,
singular and touching story : "Not many
years since certain miners, working far un
dergroutid, came upon the body of a poor
fellow who had perished in the suffocating
pit some forty-six years before. Some chem
ical agent to Which the body had been sub
jected an agent prepared in the labratory
of nature bad effectually arrested the pro
gress of decay. They brought it up to the
surface, and, for awhile, till it crumbled
through exposure to the atmosphere, it lay
there the image of a fine, sturdy young man.
No convulsion had passed over the face in
death ; the features were tranquil ; the hair
was black as jet. No one recognized the
face; a generation had grown since the day
on which the miner went down his shaft for
the last time. But a tottering old woman.
who had hurried from her cottage on hear
ing the news, came up, and she knew again
the face which, through all those years, she
had not quite forgotten. The poor miner
was to have been her husbaud on thsday
after that which he died. They were rough
people, of course, who were looking on ; a
liberal education and refined feelings are
not deemed essential to the man whoso work
is to get up coals or even tin : but there
were no dry eyes when the greyheaded old
pilgrim cast herself upon the youthful corpse
and poured into its deaf ear many words cf
eudeariuent unused for forty six years. It
was a touching contrast ; the one so old, the
other so young. They had both been
young those long years, but time had gone
on with the living and stood still with the
dead."
A Murderou3 Sea Flower. .
One ofthe exquisite wonders of the sea is
called the opelet, and is about as large as
the German aster, looking, indeed, very
much like one. Imagine a very large,double
aster, with ever so many long petals, of the
most delicate shades of light-green, glossy
as satin, and each one tijiped with rose -color.
These lovely petals do not lie quietly in
their places, like those of the aster in your
garden, but wave about in the water, while
the opelet himself generally clings to a rock.
How innocent lovely it looks on its rocky
Ded ! Who would suspect that it could eat
anything grosser than dew or sunlight. But
those beautiful waving arms as you may
call thetn have another use besides looking
pretty. They have to provide food for a
large open mould, which is hidden deep
down amongst them so well hidden that
one can scarcely find iL Well do they per
form their duty, for the instant a foolish
little fishlet touches one of their rosy tips,
he is struck with poison, as fatal to him as
lightning. He immediately becomes numb,
and in a momeut he stops struggling, and
then the other ! eautiful arms wrap them
selves around him, and he is as quietly
drawn into the huge, greedy mouth, aud is
seen no more, iiieu tne lovely arms un
close and wave again in the water, looking
as innocent and harmless as though they
had never touched a fish.
Guard against Vulgar Language.
There is as much connection between the
words and the thoughts as there is between
the thoughts and actions. The latter is only
the exprcs.-ioti of the former, but they have
a power to react upon the soul, and leave
the stain of corruption there. A young man
who allows himself to use one vulgar or pro
fane word has not only shown there is a foul
spot upon his mind, but by the utterance of
that word he extends that spot and inflames
it, till by indulgence it wili pollute and ruin
the soul Be careful of your words as of your
thoughts. If you can control the tongue so
that no improper words are pronounced by
it, you will soon be able to control the mind
and save it from corruption. You exting
uish the fire by smothering it, or by preven
ting bad thoughts bursting into language.
Never utter a word anywhere which you
would be nshamcd to speak in the presence
of the most religious man. Try this prac
tice a little while, and you will soon have
command of yourself.
I have seen the extravagance and folly of
children, bring their parents to poverty and
want, and themselves iuto disgrace.

SPEECH OF HOIT. G. W. SOOriELD.
In the House of Representaties, on Jan
uary 20th, on the motion to reconsider the
vote by which the bill to provide lor the
gradual resumption of specie payments was
recommitted to the committee on Bankiug
and Currency, Mr. Schofield said
Mr. Speaker, what shall we have for
money in this country? I do not mean just
now wuiie we are in a pinch, but in the fu
ture wnen we become masters ot the huan
cial situation. Shall it be exclusively metal
lic ? . 1 suppose not. There was at one time
a few advocates of hard money in the coun
try, but I know of none now. If not metal
lic it must be paper. Then what kind ot pa
per? Shall we revive Slate bauking ? I hope
not. Xta complexity, panics, failures, frauds,
and counterfeits condemn it, and the Con
stitution, properly construed, forbids it. We
are left, then, to a choice between United
States notes, something like our greenbacks,
and bank notes something like our national
currency. Before we choose between them
each system should be amended, or consid
ered as amended, so as to be what we want
to be in case ot its exclusive adoption.
First. Bauking should be tree to all. Each
bank should undertake to redeem its notes
in coin upon demand, and give security fur
the undertaking. This would probably be
a sufficient limitation as to the amount of
currency.
Second. A plan should be contrived by
which the Government would save as much
or nearly as much, less the expense, as if
the notes were issued by the Ireasury, in
stead of the banks. It is said that this is
the case now. Perhaps it is ; but it should
be iu the form. of reduced iiitetest upon the
bonds instead of taxes, so that we can all
see exactly what is saved. Otherwise wants
of trade may be overlooked iu the straits of
the Treasury, With these, aud perhaps
other modifications of the national bauking
system, let us see which of the two kinds ot
paper is most desirable, ihe Ireasury
could have no choice, because the Govern-
men ; would save or make as much on the
one kind of paper as the other. The bill
bolder could have no choice, because his se
curity iu each case would be exactly the
same, except that iu the one case the re
sponsibiiity of the corporation would be
added to that ot the Government an addi
tion, perhaps, too trifling for consideration.
Which, then, is beat for trade? Trade needs
stability in prices. v To make prices stable
the amount of currency and the amount of
trade should always bear the same relation
to each other. If the amount of trade varies
during the year, or from year to year, the
amount of currency should vary also. Other
wise prices would no up and down from mere
excess or lack ot currency, lhis waut ot
trade has never been perfectly met by any
system. It probably never will be. liut
the currency furnished by a free-banking
system will supply it more nearly than any
other. It is capable of- expanding as trade
expands and contractu)!; as trade contracts
Not so wiih a Treasury currency; that must ex
pand aud contract as laws arejinade or repeal
ed by Congress Congiesscannotalways guess
what trade wants, nor be willing to tespoud to
those wants il it could. Ihe necessities ot
the Treasury, the preparation fyr an elec-
tiou, or a chango of the admiuistaatioti would
generally dictate the increase or decrease of
currency. .Legislation thus controlled by
political reasons must necessarily be arbitary
and unseasonable ro businessman would teel
safe while Cougress was in session. A line
or two of law might wipe out half his secur
ities or double his liabilities. Free banking,
on the other hand, is self-regulating, or
rather it is regulated by the demands ot
business. Its notes will be plenty when trade
is brisk and scarce when trade is dull, aud
and thus prices will be kept stable.
It has been supposed that this flexibility
could be imparted to the Treasury currency
by allowing the notes to be converted iuto
bonds and the bonds into notes at the pleas
ure of the holder. The effect of this scheme
would be very different, I appreheud, irom
its purpose. The notes and bonds, being
convertible into each other, would always be
of exactly the same value. Except in the
convenience of handling one would be as
good a medium ot exchange as the other.
The result would be that nearly all the
notes would be converted into bouds
for the sake of the interest, and the bonds
used in all large transactions in place of the
notes. Substantially, the bonds would all
become currency. It would make a great
inflation of currency, and the Government
would be paying interest on nearly the whole
of it.
The gentleman from Massachusetts Mr.
Butler has given us the details of a plan
based upon this principle. It provides that
the holder of any portion ofthe bonds bear
ing six per cent, interest in coin may ex
change the same for currency at the rate of
n.uety tier ceut. ot its par value, and w Ui!e
the bonds are so deposited and exchanged
receive yearly interest thereon at the rate of
two and thirty five hundreths per cent. A
mau having $1, 000 could purchase with it a
bond ol the same amount, and at once de
posit it and get back $'J00of his money. He
would thus be out of pocket SloO, but he
would annually draw from the Treasury as
interest ou his bond, at the rate of two and
thirty-five hundreths per cent. $23 50.
The gentleman says there are $ 1 ,750,000,
000 of these convertible bonds. This large
interest would cause them all to be convert
ed, and we would thus have $1, 575,000,000
of currency beside the $350,000,000 which
the gentlemen proposes to issue in advance
in the place of the greenbacks. If the whole
$1,750,000,000 were deposited, and ninety
uer cent, ot their par value returned in cur
rency, the bond-holders would be out of
pocket $175,000,000, aud would receive from
the Government as interest $41,125,000.
The interest upon their money actually in
vested would be twenty-three and fifty bun
dreths per cent. The bondholder would
make a good deal of money by the opera
tion, and the Government would save some
interest, but the country would be afflcted
with $1,925,000,000 of irredeemable paper.
It you thus make it an object to convert the
bonds, all will be converted, and we will have
a destructive flood of paper. If holding the
bonds pays lst the notes will be converted
and the bonds used as currency. The infla
tion will be nearly as disastrous as in the
other case, while the Government must
carry a heaver load of interest than ever be
fore. To avoid this objection it has been pro
posed to make only a limited amount of bonds
and notes convertible. Within this limit
the effect would be the same, with this ad
ditional disadvantage : all who desired to
reduce the amount of currency, either for
speculation or to approximate specie pay
ments, would convert the notes and hold
the bonds. They could afford to do this be
ransA ihev would' receive a fair interest upon
the money, while they were at the same time j
securing what they would cousider a more
important end, to wit, a contraction of cur
rency and fall of prices.
. When, then, we shall settle down to a
specie paying paper currency, I am inclined
to give the prelereuce to a system ot nation
al banking free to all, and paying iuto the
Treasury as much money as the Government
could save by issuing its own notes. No
other system could mkethe bill hol ier more
secure, earn more tor tne Ireasury, nor so
well supply the wuuts of trade. ,
This system cauuot be adopted until after
we resume specie payments : aud this leads
me to inouire bow aud when reauumtion
shall begin. To answer this question I will
ask another: how much paper will our share
of the world's gold aud silver keep afloat?
Before the war under theoldsyateui ol State
banking, we were able to cany about two
huudred million dollars. We can carry much
more now, both because the world has more
specie uuw than it had then, owing to our
improved system ol banking and secunties,
to noat the same amount ot paper. It is
hard to say how much we could keep out,
I . T -ii ... - . ,
nut i win suppose ouu,uju,uw. iuis is a
rough guess, designed asau illustration rath
er than as a statement ot laet. On this sup
position the $700,000,000 ol paper now out
would diminish ut ter resumption toJ$5D0,000
000, or to such sum as would be shown by
experience to be our maximum. Specie pay
ments, then, involves a contraction oi the
currency.
Whether this contraction should take place
in advance, in preparation for, or follow as
the effect of resumption, 1 do not care just
here to consider. 1 am only asserting that
we wul have considerably less paper when
we have specie payments than we have now.
The effect ot this contraction must be a fail
in prices. Whenever we are prepared to
submit to this aud take the consequences
we can find ways enough to bring it about.
Many plans have been pioposed,-all feasible,
though perhaps not all equally good. One
is to resume at once, in the beliet that gold
will come iuto the Treasury as it will be
drawn out. The New York Tribune advo
cates this way. l'oi-siuly this plau would suc
ceed. Fossibly the Treasury would receive
as much geld as it would be required to pay
out; but if we did continue to pay specie,
I am quite sure we would soon reduce the
amount of currency, prices would la.ll, aud
the debtor class sutler.
Another plan is to fix a time of resump
tion, and save up enough gold to make
it certain that we will be able to meet all de
mands. This, I think, is Senator Morton's
plan. This would be piettysure to enable
is to continue specie payments once beguu ;
but it would not. as is supposed, enable us
to float our present amount of paper. If
we thus secured more gold than would ordi
narily stay in this country, it would flow
back to its accustomed pools as soon as it
was put upon tap, and we would soon be
left with as much paper currency as our
proper share ofthe world's gold would float,
and no more. Low prices would follow as
before. Anot her plau is to reduce the paper
currency to an amount which we might sup
pose could be kept afloar, and then resume.
This is Secretary McCullougn's plan. The
plan is good enough, but the effect would
be preci-ely the same, u contracted currency
and low prices. Another plan is to buy in
or redeem the currency, begiiriing at about
its present value in gold and rising month
ly in price until we shall finally redeem it
at its face. In the meauwhile we would pay
out the notes as at present. This plan was
introduced by the gentleman from Ohio,
fMr. Gakfif.ld, and is as good as any. It
avoids the danger of compulsory suspension
involved in the Tribune's plan, the expense
of hoarding involved in Senator Morton's
plan, and the uncertainly as to the amount
to be retired involved in the Secretary's
plau. It is as gradual as any, and has this
advantage over them all, that it lore tells to
the people exactly how last prices will fall.
But while this plan is as unobjectionable
as any, it does not avoid the great fault (if
fault it should be called) of them all, to wit,
an ultimate contraction ofthe currency. It
is because all these plans involve this result
that all are rejected. We are seekimr for a
nlan that will keep afloat our $700,000, (MO
of paper, and still redeem it in gold upon
demand. We will seek in vain. It is not
in the power of legislation. All the plans
Drooosed. and all that can be proposed, are
only different roads to the same goal. Some
may be shorter than others, some more agree
able than others : but traval winch we will,
we come to contraction and low prices at last.
It low orices is the effect of resumption,
when can we encounter them with the least
injury? Most certainly when the people are
least iu debt. It nobody was in debt, no
body would be hurt by t he change. To pre
pare for resumption, then, the people should
endeavor to pay their debts while prices are
till high. It Congress should take no steps
toward resumption the supremo Court may.
The argument over the constitutionality ol
legal tenders has ceased, and the court
is deliberating. Nobody, I presume, not
even the com t itself, knows what the decis
ion will le. The uncertainty of a jury ver
dict has passed into a proverb, but I would
as leave bet on the jury as the judge. Who
can guess to what conclusion a mind educa
ted in belligerent logic and professional sub
tlety, tetnpte i at least perhaps swayed
by personal ambition, may come ? It is quite
probable, however, the court may search
out some theory by which to sustain the ac
tion of Congress, prompted by the terrible
necessities of the war ; but it is not so cer
tain that it will attempt to clothe Congress
in all future time with plenary power over
all contracts, past, present, and regardless of
their terms and stipulations, to aatiMy them
with anything valuable or iuvuluable, paper,
wood, leather, or anything else that this
body in its ingenuity can invent and call
money. While this uncertainty nangs over
the question it behooves the people every
where to take advautage of the high prices
and liquidate their debts. Out of debt out
of danger.
You see, Mr. Speaker, I am neither ad
vocating nor opposing these multidinous
plans of resumption. My object in using at
this time was to prove to the House that
there can be no permanent resumption with
out contraction, and that nil feasible plans
of resumption lead directly or indirectly to
that result
I think we had better not act upon any
plan this short session. Standing still is a
step toward resumption a very short step,
I will admit ; but still it is something. Every
year adds to the world's stock of gold and
silver. Every year, by the increase of our
population, makes our share of it larger. We
can therefote float more paper on a specie
basis next year than this. This furnihes a
small excuse for waiting, bnt 1 have a better
one my constituents desire it.
Mr. Ingersoll obtained the floor.
