PEACE PaosPEar.—Notwithstanding
all that is• said about peacmi in certain
journals, the prospect does not look . very
promising for an early suspension of hos
tilities. ,The peace- men in; thet mirth
want .peace and restoration ef; the Union.
Their friends in the South want it and a
separation.of the Union. Ai these two
wants are incompatible with ieach 'other
in the. form which They are presented it is
evident thai'there will be no peace from
either of these quarters. The public must
fall back again upon,Grant arid Sherman,
and if .these two,peacemakers era prop
erly and patriotically supported, their en
deavors will end in a lasting peace much
sooner than we can hope front the efforts

My . rich friend exclaimed; '-13C,0u ! I tho't

Poor Richard isitnown.to all the country.

inever learned anything

how to wake.use of; atid-his wisdom and

when he took out his savings and bought,

and it was no wonder rich Mr. Smith
asked why. .SQ Poor Richard, in a very

rich man was always dealing in money,
and he made a great deal, but •was never

lent most of his money -to some people
who
- he thought,. were very rich, at a very
high rate-; and be often told how touch
he got, till one day the people he lent to
went to smash. Ile- got back about ten
cents on a dollar on his money. I
know another old -gentleman, who had,
some bank stuck, ana 40 went to the bank,
and got tea per cent. dividend. The,
President and everybody said it: Was the ;
best stock-in the country—paid ten per,

sell his stock the next day ii,, .Why? why 7,
said'•everybody. - Because; ; it pays too;
much dividend.; And.in six months the
hank went to smash. Now, -that I know
to be a fact. Well, 'Mr. Smith, you say

thirdly, that it should be marketable, so
that when your wet day ootnes, and you

"First, then, I have been ' looking • into
that great book you call .the Qensus Sta

toil you, I found out a good many things
very useful for me to know. •I found out,
by looking at the crops, and; the factories

S. PE Cl_4l, AD VA.ArTA GES of this LOAN.
It is a ,National Savings Bank, offering a ••
higher rate of interest than any other, and
the best security. Any savings_ bank which -
pays its depositors in IL S. Notes,•considers
that it is paying in the best circulating me
dium of the country, and ft cannot pay in any
thing better, for its own assets are either in
governuint securities or in notes or bonds
payable in government paper.
It is equally convenient as a temporary or
permanent investment. The notes Can al
ways be Sold for within a fraction of their
face and accumulated interest - and .are the
best security with banks as collatterars for

In addition to tlie very liberal interest on
the notes for three years, this privilege of
conversion is now worth about three per cent.
for the current, rate for 5.20 Bonds is not less
than 71i,k‘per cent. premium, and before the war
the premium on sic per cent.l l ,;S:stoct:s was
over• twenty per cent. It will be -seen that
the, actual, profit on this loan, at the present
market rite, is not less than ten psi cent: per

It is believed that no securities offer so great
inducements to lenders' as these issued by the
government. In all other forms of indebted
ness, the faith or ability of private parties,
stock companies, or separate communities,
only, is pledged for payinent,while the Whole
property of the country is held to secure 'the
discharge of all the obligations of ihe , United
States. •
While thegoveriiment offers the Most liberal
terms for. its loans, it
.beliewes that the very
strongest appeal will .be to the loyalty and
patriotism of the people, • -
Duplicate certificates will 'be issued 'for all
deposits. The party depositing must endorse
upon the original certificate the denomination
