VOL. 10, NO. 6 THE NATIONAL FINANCES Plans and Views of Vice Colfax. President Vice President Colfax publishes in last week's New York Independent an article oil the financial situation of the country, m wmcn ne says: , There were in the Treasury, on New a Year's day, $Si 000.000, over and above the gold certificates in use and circulation, j What would be the effect if on the 1st of March the Secretary had the authority, and ; exercised it, to advertise that at any time i within the ensuing sixty days the first furty millions of the 5-20s would be redeemed ! on presentation at the Treasury in pold?i 1 do not even intend to suss'Jst their com- ; putsory presentation Dy stopping the interest, but to proffer the gold on demand to all holders throughout the world of the oldest of the six per cent. 5-20 bonds, is sued under the law of February 23, 1S62. from No 1 up One third of thrtn it is believed are he'd i Europe. 1 doubt very touch whether any of these would recross the ocean for redemption if the interest were not stopped Of those held in the Uuited States. I think but few holders would appear at the Treasury. The fact that the United States bad ae tuail y commenced the payment of their boads in gold would probably destroy at once the small difference now existing ia the premium on the 5-20s, as coropated with the premium on gold; not the 10 per cent, as compared with greenbacks, but the 2 or 3 per cent difference a- compared with bot'ds, and if so there would not be the slightest inducement to present them; but suppose the whole forty millions were presented for redemption under this notice. The result would be first, that they would be paid offa little moro quickly than under the present sysrenij and, secondly, the amount of gold thus fur-iiir-h-.d would t.eud by its plenty to depress the premium upon it. JSo that if this theory should be resTzod the small difiY.Tei'.CB between gold and bonds would vanish and the bonds would be at par with gold. In either event iis result on th proposed funiin of the o 20- into a five er cent 10-40, of which five hundred millions are now authorized by the amended law ol this session, cou d not lut be beneficial. And with funding a success, and the six per jcent bonds passing into five per cent , the J end of gold premiums could not be very lar oil. I he result ot i he nrt sixty days expeiience would how clearly to the publie mind which of the two plans, the one tiow in operation or the newer one, shou d be continued in future If I am not misuken it would be found qiii sufe enough to proffer them the redemption in gold of tho sec nd forty millions of Loads isued iu lSo'2 The fact that tba Treasury pays about eigh'een to twenty millions per 3car in gold to the National Banks as interest on the bonds or security fvr their circulation, and that tho time i certainly not far distant hco the National Hank notes must be redeemable in specie, would justify the nation in requiring them to keep in their vaul's the gold thus pud to them as part ot their te?ervesy and as a preparation tor this duty it could atiect boancial matters but slightly if at all, as a corresponding amount of greenbacks would he released from their reserve fund and thus enter in to general circulation. Prescribed heretofore as this has been with other preposi1tions intended to compel the funding of the bonds owned by the banks into bonds bearing & lower interest, it has failed of success. But, proposed by itself, it would he difiioult for the banks and their stock holders to find substantial objection to it. It is essential to the prosperity of the 'ja'ion, to the developments of its industry, i to the release of its citizens firm a'. I posand reduced as vapidly as the public fuith wi.l permit. The taxation which has real ized the large surplus of the pat few years, while it has done a good work in elevating the national credit by showing the world how rapidly the United States i could pay off its debt in spite of all unifriendiy predictions at home or abroad, has been burdensome beyond question on its people, but the oboiition by a liepubbcan Congress of two hundred and fifty tnilli ns of taxation in the past four years has proven their willingness to dispense with the increased burdens caused by 'h? war for the Union and its cot as rapidly ss the maintenance ol the uaiimal c.edu 1 n.,l 1 ..,1,1,. .11., There reto side, however, to th'a q'ijnot,.

BROOK VILLE, 1ND., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1871.

THE JOSH BILLINGS PAPERS. Ods and Ens. Natar never makes enny blunders. When she makes a nhool she means it. I hav finally cum tew the konklusion ,hat tho majority ov mankind kan be edu. Jd on the back better than in the brain frtf crnAd olnihQ will nfton mfr m aKaa respectable, while edakash sew show his weak Lints. - - - - ' - - - - w au . J KVUWI in only serves I never knu a man yet whoze name was George Wathinjfon Lafayette Goodrich, Esq . and who alwus signed his name for the full amount, but was a bigger man an paper than he wax by natur. As a mineral thins an individual who z neat in hix person is neat in biz morals Man is my brother, and I koosider that I am nearer related tew biuj thru his vices than i am thru his virtews. Thare is nothing about which the world makes so few blunders, and the individual so menny as a man's acktual importanse among his follow critters. A Ciao with a very s-ma.ll head is like a pin without enny, vary apt tew git into thircs beyond hiz depth. The pashuns ov an o!d man are often like hiz teeth, they cease to trouble him, Bimpty 'bakauze the nerve is ded. The only pedigree worth transmitting iz virtew, and this iz the very thing that kant be transmitted. Affectashuu haz made more cuo.ols than ' the Lord has. About the nearest tew absolute insolvency that a man kan git in this world, and think he iz dieing rich, iz to leave nothing but a pedigree tew hiz family. I don't pretend tew bav enny less vile pashuns than my nabors, but I do despizs the person, most heartily, who caters tew those i hav got. The man who kant find enny thing to do in this world iz Hi bad oh &z a yearling heiter. Thare iz no pashun ov the human heart that promises 60 much and pays so little a z revenge. Thate haint no man yet lived loneenuff in ibis world tew doubt the infallibility ov his j'idunient. Thare iz this odd between a humorous lek'er an a scienniEck one. yu hav got to understand the humorous lektur tew enjoy it. but you kan enjoy the scientifiick one without understanding it. It is but a sttp from zeal tew bigotry, but it iz a Mep that iz most generally tken. Don't lay enny certain plana fur the tewter, it iz like plantiug tuds, and cxpekting tew raze tudstools. No man yet who had strength ov mind enuff ever resorted terr cunning. Cuniiiir iz hslf brother tow fear, and they are both ov them weakness Natur once in a while mikes a phool, but cz a general thing phools, like garments. a;-e made tew order. A man who is good company tor himself is alwus good company for oihers. VJenuine praize consists in naming a man's liuhi to hii face, and his good qualitys tew his back. One ov the best temporary cures for pride and aflfuktashun that I hav ever seed tried iz sea sickness; a mau who wants tew vomit never puts on airs. A fault coucealed is but little better than one indulged in. Witty speeches are like throwing stones at a target; the more time spent in taking aim the less danger thar is in hitting the mark. I have alwas noticed one thing, when a person bekums disgusted with this world, and konkludes to withdraw from it, the world very kindly lets the person went. Woman haz no frien dsbips. She cither loves, despises, or hates. A day in the life of an old man is like one ov the last days in the fall ov the year; every bour brings a change in tho wealh er. I love tew see an old person joyful, but not kickuptheheelsfull. A coquette in love iz just about as tame sz a bottle ov "i tiger-pop that haz stood sum tune with the cork puUed out. Human happiness iz like the Hottentot lauguase, enny boddy kin talk it well enuit. hut thare ain't but phew can understand it Gravity iz no more evidence of wisdom than a paper collar iz ov a shirt. Whatever Providence haz given ns the fakulty tew do, be haz given us the power tew do. Thare iz a grate menny folks in tbis world who are like little files; grate bares without meaning or knowing it. Great iniquitys seem tew baptize themselfs If the devil hsd only been guilty of petty larceny be wouldn't hav bin heard ov aivn. .

Often in writing, a simple word is required, of the orthography of which the w-rstt-r is not sure. The dictionary maybe referred to but is not always couvenieot. i 'liure' t i An easy mote is to write the word on a piece of waste paper, in the two or three wavs of which you are in doubt. Nine times in ten, the mode which looks right is right. Spelling, particularly English spelling is eo completely a work of the eye that the eye alone should be trusted. There is no reason why 'receive and 'believe, should be spelt differently, yet sound, ed alike, in their second syllables. Yet write them 'recieve'' and "beleive, and the eye shows you the mistake at once. The best way for young people, and indeed people of any acre, to learn to spell. is to practice writing. ioobett, the tatuous : English radical, taught his children gram mar by requiring that they should copy ;, heir lessons two r three times.

The Shoemaker's Dmgtiter. Yesternight as I eat with an old friend of mine, In h's library cosily over our wine, Looking out on the guests in the parlor, I said, Of a lady whose shoe showed coma ripping of thread. "Frank, she looks like a shoemaker's daughter."

Yes said Frank "Yes j her shoe has a rip at the tide The mifhop of the moment the la2yr a bride. That reminds ma of -something ; acd here as we sit, If you'll listen with patience, I'll spin yo a hit Of a yarn of a shoemaker's daughter. "When I was a hoy, half a century since How one's frame, as one nu&.irs the years, see ma to wince! A dear little girl went to school with me thsc As I sit in my arm-chair I sea her again; Kitty Mallet, the Ehoemaker'a daughter. "Whence the wonderfal ease in her manner she had? Not from termagant mother, nor hard-working dad; Yet, no doubt that, besides a most beautiful face. The ohild had decorum, refinement, and grace, Kot at all like a shoemaker's daughter. "Her dress was of six -penny print; hot 'twas clean; Her shoes, like all shoemaker's children's, were meaa; tier bonnet a wreck; hut, whatever she wore. The air of a damsel of breading she bore Kot that of a shoemaker's daughter. "The girls of the school, when she entered the place. Pinched each other, then tittered and stared in her face; She heedednot insult, no notice she took, But quietly settled her eyes on her book Sho meaat business, that shoemaker's daughter. "Still jeered at by idler and dull head and fool A heruiUess she in the crowd ef the school; There was wonder, indoed, when it soon came to pass T hat 'Calico Kitty' was head of the class. Whatl tittj-T 'The shoemaker's daughter!' "Still wearing the same faded calico drets, And calm as before in the pride of suocefs; tier manner the same easy, soft and refined 'Twas the seemed an heiress, while each left behind In the race was the shoemaker's daughter. "Bit by bit, all her schoolmates she won to her side , To rejoice in her triumph, be proud in her pride, And with the rest I felt elderly then; Fur I was sixteen, while the lass was but ten; So I petted the shoein ik er's daughter, "Do you sea that old lady with calm, placid facet Time touches her boeuty, but leaves all her grace; Do ycu notice the murmurs that hush when she stirs , And the honor and homage So pointedly hers?

A sharp young woman nays there is nothing more touching in this life than to see a poor but virtuous young man strugling with a weak moustache. A drunkeu man, struggling in the streets of Patterson the other night, anxiously wanted to know whether "any body bad been struck by the earthquake." A prescription sent to a drug-store in a Western town contained a postscript for the guidance of the druggist, that it was intended for the "releef off the Kaulick."

A Puzzled Dutchman. A Wisconsin secular paper contains tLe following good Btory: One who does not believe in immersion for baptism was holding a protracted meeting, and one night preached on the subject of baptism. In the course of bis remarks he said some believe it necessary to go down into the water, and come up out of it to be baptized. But this he claimed to be a fallacy, for the preposition "into of the fcenptures should be rendered differently, as it does not mean into at all times, "itoses,' he said, "we are told, went up into the mountain, and the Saviour wastaken into a high mountain, t'o. Now we do not suppose that either went into the mountain, but upon it. So with going down into the water, it means simply going down close by or near to the water, and being baptized in the ordinary way, by sprinkling. He carried this idea out fully, and in due season and stjle closed his discourse, when so invitation was given to any one who felt eo disposed to rise and express their thoughts. Quite a number of the brethren arose and said that they were glad that they had been pref.ent on this occasion, that they were well pleased with the sound sermon they had just heard, and felt their souls greatly bleared. Finally a corpulent gentleman of Teutonic extraction, a stranger to all, arose and broke a silence, that was most painful, as follows: 'Mister Brcacher, I ish so (?lad I vash here to night, for I has had explained to my min't some things I never could beleif pefore. We veat, Mister Brcacher, that Taniel vas cast into the teu of lions, and came out alilV!

The following description of the Bible was found in Westminister Abbey, nameless and dateless: A nation would be truly happy if it were governed by no other laws than thote of this blessed book. It contains everything needful to be known or done. It gives instructions to the senate, authority and directions to a magistrate. it cautions a witness, requires an impa tial verdicttfrom a jury, and furnishes the judge with bis sentence It sets the husband as the lord of the household, the wife as the mistTess ef the table; tells him how to rule, and her, as weP, how to manage. It entails honor on the parents, and enjoins obedience on children. It prescribes and limits the sway ot the; sovereign, tno ruie oi ine ru;er, nu me a uthority of the master; commands the sub jeets to honor, and the servants to obey, and the blessing and protection of the Almighty to all that walk by its rule. It gives the directions for weddings and burials. t It promises food and raiment, and limits tho use of both. It points out a faithful nd eternal guardian to the departing buband and father; tells him with whom to leave bis fatherless childre, and whom bis widow is to trust; and promises a father to the former, and a husband to the latter. It teaches a man to got his house in order and how to make his will; it appoiuts a dowry for his wife; entails the right of the first born, and shows how the young branches niAy be left. It defends the rights of all and reveals vengeance to every defaulter, overreacher trespasser. It is the first book, the best book. . It contain" the choicest matter; givcj the best instructions; and affords the greatest degree of pleasure and satisfaction that we have ever enjoyed. It contains the best laws snd most pro found mysteries that were ever penned; and it brings the very best of comforts to the inquiring snd disconsolate. It exhibits life and immortality from time everlasting and shows the way to glory. It is a brief recital of all that is to come. An Extra Dish.

The Contest. The Richmond Herald cackles very loudly and triumphatly over an alleged new discovery of the mistake at the South Poll. The Herald says: 'About twelve or one o'clock on the night of the election lunch was brought into the room for the members of the board, and they slopped a few minutes to refresh themselves. At this time they were counting Democratic Tickets. When they commenced work, after eating, ten tickets were lying cn the table, and the question arose as to whether these tickets had beeu tallied by the Clerks, and it was decided they had, and the tickets were put on the string. Here was where the principal mistake occurred.' How these desperate fellows catch at straws. If it had been the other way it would be just as easy to say, here ia the great mistake, these tickets were counted twice. Ten Wilson tickets counted twice. The fact is, there can be no reasonable doubt, that the Board settled that matter right, at that time wheu it was fres'u in their minds. They knew better then, whether they had tallied those votes, than they would ever know afterwards. It was not known then by any one, whether it would be in the interest of any one, to tally ihem again. But after the vote of the District is canvassed, and the Herald sees that by counting these ten votes again. Gooding would be elected iastead of Wilson, and as it would be grately to the interest of the Herald to have it so, it cries out. O, yes hero is the mistake; here isthereason why Gooding is not elected.; At the South Toll they refused to count ten votes for Gooding twice. And the Herald would foist its man into Oougresa upon this mere pretext, over the legally expressed will of the unjority of the voters, a ad the sworn count of the votes. The more the Hon. David S. Gooding and the liichmond Herald flounder about iu this case tho worse they get in the mire. l'iain, honest, sensible, unprejudiced men iu both parties, know that this magnificent farce of a coutost is prosecuted without the hope of success, aud simply because the Uuited States will pay tho expense, and pay the Hon. David S. for L13 trouble. fConiiuersviilo Times. Can't We Do Without it. We knew a young man in the City of Boston, who continued to support a family consisting of wife aud one child oa eight hundred dollars a year. He occupied the entire second story of a very nice looking brick house. The furniture was plain, and yet there was an air of ueatness and comfort throughout, lie had enough. to eat, and the food, though plaiu, was nutritious. His wife went baud in hand with him, and studied hard to make a good appearance with the small mcaus at her command. A more cheerful couple you would seldom find. 'How is it,, said we to him, one-day, 'that you secui to live comfortably ou so small an income? I'esidcs, you always i nave a lime to gi c iu cnarny, vt iieu cauca upon.' I can tell you the secret said he. Whenever I am about to buy any article for household use. or lor my peisoual use, 1 always ask mje!f the question, can tee do without itf If the answer is 'yes, then I don't get it; if'uo,' then I purchase, taking eaie to get a good, but not extravagant, article This is the whole secret. I can entertain a dried, and give a little in charity, aud still continue to make both ends meet, and keep out of debt. As to being a rich man, 1 don't expect it. Xudustty and ccouomy are the two principles on which I expect, with Heaven's blessing, to get aloog.' There's a lesson for us all. Eg2$ Winter. Sam tile Woods, of Rogers ville, Pa .gives the following as his plan for makirg bins Jay xhea lhc 6treauis are locked and all the landscape is clothed in white": 'First, give the fowls a well-protected buildintr. with some straw or hay. Then place a uumber of boxes in different places ! lor nests. Mine are twelve niches square I and twenty-two inches long, made tight, I except odc eud. A small board is nailed ' . i a . . i. ... ... on tbe open e0ll to keep the place; and laid on its side; this protects the eggs. Since this plan was adopted, my bens have paid for it richly in egs, while my neighbors do not get any Romody for Frost-Bitcs. In these Winter days, when foot and fingers arc quite apt to get frost-bitten, the following remedy, which is fut nished to the Nashville Tribune, may be of value to our readers. A lady writes: Vy former! husband froze bis feet one moning while wood-chopping, the thermometer being twenty degrees below sero.
