Sipecl b Resumption. We find the following' sensible
remarks on this subject in the Pitts
burgh Commercial: The resumption of spent payments will result in a large expansion of the circulating medium o' the country ; larger in fact than the inflationists in Congress have proposed. This idea may be more clearly expressed by the use oi figures. Should gold go to par, two hundred millions of a commodity which is now merchandize would become currency and inflate the circulation to that amount. But then
we have seven hundred millions of
paper currency, the gold value ol purchasing power of which has not, until recently, been over five hundred and twenty millions. But if the premium on gold is knocked away, we shall have, with the coin and paper in circulation, nine hun-
Ired millions of currency. i he i he took for a pistol and fled. Hov
danger under this rate ot expansion
is obvious. A wild era of speculation may be inaugurated, values will
go up, and every department of
trade and commerce will be unduly stimulated. If we are warned by the past, the brakes will be put down, and the amount of paper in circulation gradually and cautiously reduced. Afcer the war of 1815, the countrv resumed specie payments in 1821 ; money was abundant, mammoth speculations and an inflation of credits followed until 1S24-25, when the crash came, and the bubble of a redundant circulation burst.

Ilesolutlons of t he State Tem
perance Alliance. At the meeting of the State Tem
perance Alliance, held at Indi.mapolis, in Februarv, the following
among other resolutions, were adop
ted :
"Resolved, That we have renewed faith in the principles proclaimed in our last annual meeting, that the experience of the past year has tended more and more to confirm us in the belief that there is no human agency short of total abstinence which can save our country from
becoming a nation ot drunkards ; that it is the first duty of temperance men to discourage, by precept and example, the use of all kinds of fermented as well us distilled liquors ; that the young should be carefully educated to abhor and wholly abstain from their use ; and that our efforts should never cease for the reformation of the drunkard. Resolved, That believing the time honored maxim that '' prevention is better than cure," applies
with peculiar force to the cause of
temperance, we recommend, as one of the most effectual means for
spreading our principles, that there be a more general and thorough advocacy of them in Sabbath and
common schools, and the establishment of juvenile temperance organizations. Resolved., That in order to facilitate the above teaching, there is a demand for a primary feet book on physiology, which shall present more fully than any primary work extant, the nature of alcohol and its evil effects on the human system. Resolved. That while we favor
and will earnestly work for a law
prohibiting the traffic in intoxicating liquors, we do hereby aprce to me our utmost endeavors to -prevent the obtaining of license, under and bring to punwhment offenders cf the existing law.
Resolved, That wc believe the
principle of liceusing the traffic in intoxicating liquors is the principle of legalizing a wrong ; is opposed to the enlightened, moral and relig
ions ideas of the peopla of the
country, and should be opposed by all lovers of temperance. WOMAN. Resolved, That as woman has
ever bsien die faithful supporter of every movement for the elevation
and advancement of mankind, ond
believi ng that our efforts can not be
successful without her influence, we
earnestly ask her active co-operation
with them. Sabbath schools are I era of speculation ever before known
ensued, which was followed by a
great commercial crash, when the weakening but inevitable process of contraction came. From this, it is reasonable to conclude, that the same causes whioh now appear to be dawninar on the country, will Dro-

States, nearly fifty years ago. First,
in almost every neighborhood, work

Methodist Sabbath School in Bloom
ington, has, almost in a body, taken
of
the pledge, the triple pledge
Temperance, abstinence from Tobacco, abstinence from Profanity. Thus the great work has begun, and bravely begun. We hope soon to see
it reported m these columns that j other schools have done the same. Let us hoar from you friends. In this connection it may be of interest to those contemplating action in this direction, to be informed that the State Temperance Alliance has issued a very neat card containing the three pledges, Tempe
rance, lobacco, and Proumity. This card is so arranged that one, two or all the pledges may Designed, as the party pledging may desire. It is designed to give one of these cards to each person signing a pledge. These cards can be obtained from the Agent of the Temperance Alliance, Rev. C. Martindale, at In
dianapolis. Cost about 5 to 7 tts. per dozen. Jn closing these remarks we would call special attention to the resolution concerning primary elections and nominating conventions. Here is an element of power, and it is time temperance men, and good
! men generally, were using it. Too
lonj has it been neglected. loo
long have quiet and good men been
kept away by the crv "dirty pool
of politics." It ill becomes the
dass ot men who have befouled this
pool, to cry "dirty." If their cry
is true, it needs cleansing, and good men, good temperance men must help to cleanse it. Tems3erance men are you ready ? If not, get ready, and that early. Enter the list and do your duty, duty to yourselves, your sons, brothers, neighbors, and
the cause of right, support firmly and bravely, temperance and temperance principles.

An incorporated society hired a man to blast a rock, says Mark Twain, and be was punching powder into a hole with a crowbar, when a premature explosion followed, sending the man and crowbar out of sight. He came down all right and the man went to work again directly. But though he was gone only fifteen minutes they docked him for lost time.
A noted oarsman, who pulled fifty-one public races on the Thames during the years from 1859 to 1867, writes that of the first twenty-five, which were rowed on ordinary alcoholic beverages, he won fifteen and lost ten ; but of the last twentysix, when the principal liquid consumed with milk, he won twentytwo and lost four.

fortunate for her it wasn't a whisky bottle. A servant girl who had just been admonished by her mistress to be careful in "washing up" the best tea things, was overheard shortly afterwards, in the back, kitchen, indulging in the following soliloquy, while in the act of wiping the sugar basin : "If I was to drop this 'ere basin and v?as to catch it, I s'pose I shouldn't catch it; but if I was to drop it, and wasn't to catch it, I reckon I should iust catch it." The grave of the wife of James Monroe, twice President of the United States, is situated iu a retired spot in London county, "Virginia, "uamarked by even an ordinary stone to designate the last resting place of the honored dead." An anonymous writer says there is a mystery about the effect of the weather on piety. Sabbath heat seems hotter, Sabbath cold colder, and Sabbath rain wetter than that of any other day ; for the same measure of heat, or cold, or rain, on a week day, will not keep a man from his usual business.

At a children's party in Winona, recently, each one brought his or her favorite kitten, and no less than sixty of these four-footed pets were present. Some affiliated, and some did not. The children enjoyed it hugely, but one little girl remarked that they would have had a "real nice time if the pussies bad been better acquainted."

Tea was introduced at that time and its use was earnestly resisted by the wine and beer drinkers, lest it should exe rt an injurious influence on morals. "That was a severe coughing fit," remarked a sexton to an undertaker, when they were taking a ghiss together. Oh, 'tis nothing save a little ale which went down the tv rong way," replied the undertaker,
uAh, ah ! that s just like you, said the sexton ; "you always lay the jeffin on the bier." "I never knew a man," said an old author, "who could not bear another's misfortunes like a christian;" which reminds us of the old lady who thought every calamity that happened to herself a trial, and every one that happened to a friend a judgment.
