["And he hurled him in a valley in the
land of Moab, over against Bethpeor, but no
man knoweth 'of - his sepulchre unto this
day."-Deut. xxxiv.,
By Nebo's lonely mountain
On this side Jordan's Wave,
In a vale in the land of Moab,
There lies a lonely grave
- And no man dug the sepulchre,
And no man saw it e'er—
For the angels of God upturned the sod.
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth : •
But no man heard the trampling
Or saw the train go forth,
Noiselessly as 4 tbe daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak •en ocean's cheek
Grown into the great sun.
Noiselessly as the.spring time
Her brown of verdure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves. -
So without sound of music,
Or voice of them that wept,
Silently down from .the mountain crown
The great procession swept •
Perchance the bald old e agle .
On gray Bethpeor's hetht,
Out of his rocky eyrie
Looked on the wonderous sight.
Perchance the lion stalking
Still shuns that hallowed spot,
For beast and bird hsve seen and heant.
That which man knoweth not. -
But when the warrior dieth
Ills comrades In the war,
With arms reversed and muffled drum,
Follow the funeral ear.
They show the banners taken, , •
They tell his battle won.
And after him lead his masterlesasteed,.
While peals the minute gun. , 7
Amid the noblest of the land
Men lay the sage to rest,
And gave the hard an hbAored place;
With costly marble drest ;
In the great minister transept,
Where light like glories fall,
And the choir sings and the organ rings
• Along the emblazoned wall. .

CORRY O'LANUS' EPISTLE.
On Ike Finance question.
The most important question before the ,
country to-day is the tinance question.
It comes home to every man.
It is brought home to him in largely in
creased butcher's bills.
In exaggerated grocer's bills.
And in bills too numerous to mention.
, It is brought home to hint when the wife
of his bosom wants a new shawl, for which
an extravagant amount in greenbacks is de
manded by extortionate dry goods dealers
who take advantage of the present condition
of the currency to ask what they, please
tad take all they can get for what their cue
t nners want - and will have regardless of ex
pense.
When Themistocles asks me for ten cents
to buy a top which I used to buy, when I
was a boy, for three cents, I inquire if there
isn't something wrong in our present system
of finance?.
Something mug' be dune.
Because it we keep going on as we are
there won't be any change.
When I was inWashington I had frequent
conversations with Secretary McCulloch,ant
he told me Maybe only reason why he didn't;
pay off the Natonal debt was because he.
hadn't money enough. • .
That's the whole difficulty.
We want more money.
People who talk of contracting the curren
cy don't understand the question at all.
Tulking about our having too much green
backs is absurd.
I never could get enough of them. i
And don't know anbody else who could- 1 .
I bare never met with any who objected to.;
greenbacks, or who wouldn ' t take allhe c i
ould. i
get of them. . II
When you have a currency which is so-
universally esteemed—what more do you.
want ?
Except more of it. _ !
Butler called on me when 1 was in Wash 'I
ington, and explained his bill, which he hes ?
since offered, and the speech be has made.
We agreed on the main points. !
He objectslo a specie currency as a grt sat I
waste of precious metals.
Especially silver. .•
Which' might be made into spoons, r and
the coming Infant, whatever thecondition. of
its parents, be born with - a silver spoon in. its
mouth. .
Because the despotic rulers of the eQ'ete
nations of the Old World have stamped their
image upon metal and called it money, and
compelled their grovelling subjects to receive
it as such, is the American eagle to be chained
down to such a base precedent and have its
flight encumbered by the weight of solnuel
dross, when With a paper carrencv. Ught
as
. the airy bubble blown of soap 'suds by
experienced youth, It could soar higher than
a kite
N. B.—This is part of a Congressional
speech I wrote out to sell to same member
who wanted to say somethinF effective cm
the finance question. I offered it to Robinson, 3
hut he wouldn't have it because it didn't '
mention Irehmd.`
nWe want ; as Butler says, an elastic cat Te-
So that you can stretch every dollar and
make it go as far as two.
ith this view I suggest to Congress to it
W
print the issue of greenbacks proposed by
Butler, on Inda rubber instead of paper.
An idea thatitas the merit of originality,
and as the material is impervious to damp- ft
uess, anybody who held any currency
might water his stock with us much impuni
ty as Erie.
Our preseht currency is based on the Na
tioual indebtedness, and this shows the folly j
of trying: to pay off the National debt.
If the debt was paid off, and all the bonds'
redeemed what security should 'we have for
the redemption of this national bank bills?
But I don't believe in national banks.
' You remember I wrote you some time ago
how the Wallabout National Bank went
back on me, when I honored them by draw- .
ing a check on their institution, to oblige a
friend,svno said he won:d like to have my
check for a certain amount. As I had owed,'
him exactly that amount for some time I
didn't like to refuse him, So I drew the
check.
g; ,
Yy

They wouldn't pay it.
If A. T. Stewart draws a deck these hanks
will pay it at once.
But•ihey wouldn't honor a check of mine.
They arc aristocratic institutions. ••
They won't help.* poor man.

Still they may be useful if you have more
money than you know what do with.
Which is never my ease.
Which brings me to the point of objection
to the present currency system. •
Greenbacks tire good.
National Bank bills. are not to be . de
spised.
.And fractional currency in moderation is
desirable. _.
But the amount of money in circnlation is
not properly dtstribured. .
' Most of the trouble in businens and dun.
'cid circles is caused by people who haven't'
'got any money, but who want it, WV:owing
from those who have it, and being unable to
pay it back avdp. - , "
Now, if everybody had as much money as
he wanted, he Nonld not have to borrow or
run in debt for anything, and everybody
would be in comfortable circumstances and
enjoy themselves.
A paper currency is the only currency
which makes this happy state of affairs pos
sible.
Let Congress enter enough greenbacks to
he printed to give every man ten -thousand
dollars.
• With five thousand extra if be has a wife,
and a thousand for each addition to the fam
ily.
This would make every poor man comfort.
able,
And encourage the family relation.
At this rate, with the present population of
the United States, we should be the wealthi;
est nation on the face of the globe.,
Not hafting any further use for gold or 011 7
ver, we could manufacture it into jewelry anti
plate, and every man could have a gold watch
and silver service.
As to redeeming the currency, that is 'out
of the question.
Paving debts is an unfortunate habit that

A STORY FOR SWRARERIL-A gentientan

in the presence of a numbei of his com Pa n,

Lb swear so in company. The man said he
was not afraid to swear at any time or any
place.
"rit give you ten dollars," said the gen..
tleman, "if you• will go Into the village
clirch-yard to-night •at twelve o'clock, and
swear the same oaths which you have ut
tered here, when you are alone with your
God."
"Agreed," said the man, " 'tis an easy way
of earning ten dollars."
"Well, you come to me to-morrow, and
say you have done it, and the money is
yours."
Time pasted on; midnight came. The
man went to the grave-yard. Tt was a night
of pitchy darkness. As he entered' Vie
yard, not a sound was heard—all was still as
death. Then the gentleman'ti words "alone
with God," carne d'er him with a wonderful
`power. The thought of the wickedness he
had committed, and what he came there to
do, darted' through his mind like a flash of
lightning. He trembled at his folly. • Afrai4
to-take another step, he fell on his knees, and
instead of the dreadful oaths he had come to
utter, the, cattiest cry went tit;
"G;44 ke merciful to me a sinner I"

said he had resolved not to swear another
oath as long as be lived.
WHEN John Tillottson was Dean of Can

some cause or other, the Dean's father had

'son's elevation ; so, visiting the
London, he presented !himself in his usu l 4
.
dress of a simple counirlman.
"Is John Tillottson at home 4'' he asked,
on the door being opened, after a single
knock, by one of the Dean's servants.
"John Tillottson !" growled out the ser
vant; "and don't you kOW better manners?
The Dein is at home, but not to see the like
of you. So you had better be off"
"But he'll soon see me," replied the father,
coolly, "for all you can say."
And Mr. Tillottson' was right ; for after the
servant had dealt out a deal of insult,
which he thought very appropriate to a man
shabbily dressed, another servant went in to
the Dean and told him what was taking-place
at the hall door. '
- - .
"It t is my worthy father," exclaimed the
Dean, after hearing the description of the
strange visitor. Aaii, then, instead of being
ashamed to acknowledge his relation to one
so meanly clad, he ran out to the door, and
fell down on his knees, in the presence of his
servants, to ask his father's hie4,-sing.
