All the hoys call her .Terry behind her back, though she docMi't know it and it's lucky for them. You see, Jerry . is n.ad pretty easy, r'raps it's 'cause she teaches M'hool. Moiher snys boys are trying. She i ks I'm a wry trying boy. and I s'pose she ought to know. 1 wonder if old people ever think they are tryinp ihensOtlVttf They are, anyhow. I t: in": mean mother. Weil, to proceed that's a pood way of putting it, I kr.ow, 'cause Mr. Simpkim sa'd it in his lecture, and Louie I; "Now. Jimmy, don't ramble, hut It eh to your story." So here poes for sticking I mean proceedinp. It's hard Work, 'cause 1 never wrote a real story be fore. The reason why my story happened On the fifth was 'cause Fourth of July in. on Sunday that year, so that firecrackers and other celebrations had to w .i t over. Kni it was hard for the boys thnt waited, judpinp from experience Mr. v Mipkins said that, too. It sounds well. 1 Think, besides beinp a fact. Well, mother said I eotild pet up at ti e a. ni. on Monday, ami not a niint!t before, and then 1 did think mother was rerj try inp. indeed. I knew I'd wake up sootier, and, sure 'nough, I did, antl heard the clock v 1m- four. It was a lonp time till half past four, and four minutes from thai the sun would rise, I knew, for IM looked in the almanac. 1 just raised up in bed to peek at my 'in cracken ami punk, lying bandy, and

half hour was longer than the other. I i m 'ell you it didn't take ine lonp I !e into my clothes When the time Came, and I did wash my face, thouph " 'in i' iihrush happened to slip back of the washstnnd, ami I didn't feel like tttktnff the time to pet it out. I '! heard me mining 'round, and ' " " in from her room; so 1 had to ; her a pood deal, and that waited 1 Ol nf time. Rut she's a smart child, nd combed her own hair pretty weil, ' lerinp. PVepa yo don't know that Tod's rl for Toddlekins) our youngest. Bonn body thotipht I meant a dop one Wbta I spoke of her; but I think od'i a tine name, beinp short and sort I brisk. we tiptoed downstairs, so's not to ik anybody. 1 i (tipped down one Up, dropped ' "rpedocs und began to cry. Put T up ns much like Jerry as I could: 1 not a word, or you go back n bed, 1 i 'cnrert her so she jumper! and irotiyvd mother pnek,-pe; so T harl to

pick her up ai r! carry her out of the front door (piick, turpi due- urn! all. It w as a line day . a plorious Knurl h -or maybe 1 bhould call it a Fifth, only that dnet-ii't sound iiht.

Itu! no Hilly showed up. .So I let Tod fire otT a t'nc.il many erackera, and she only Mrned baf droaa in one place. It was a in -a one. and d forpoM.n tinapron mother said she must surely wear, but I ionk suine coi s,,lation in kaowinf thai if Tod had had on her apron it would have been burned, and BOW it wa-k't.

Hardly BjrOM waa in the train, and the conductor seemed to be takinp a holiday, too. for he didn't come 'ruiiia! till we pot 'most to New York. We didn't talk much, 'cause after Hilly 'd asked me what I was poinp to dO, t here didn'l seelll to be much to talk about. We didn't stop any where, for it was an express train, but we heard lots of Fourth of July noise at d saw lot of bojri and triris bating goad time. My, bow 1 wished I could chimpe my place with them. Anil then I thought I Poof little Tod,

Any how, 1 don't see how boys can be expected to remember aprons, k; woar log such thil.ps themselves. Just as mother said, Tod begun to be sleepy in no time. Hut I'd prom

ised to take care of her. and knew she

WOOld p in the house and po to sleep gain. It was really pretty early for u tie- ear-old (O got up. She wanted to 'cause 1 did so, so mother said she con id try it. 1 like to please Tod. She's iy favorite sister, too. She's nearer my aire, ami tbt others are so ptown-up- p'rticnlarlj Jerry. Then, besides, I'm Tod'l favorite brotiier; at least. I should lie if she had another, which she ha.-n't. To proceed: I told Tod to run in ami take a nap, and to do it softly, so's not to wake 'ein up; for it couldn't be six yet, aa the early train hadn't started. Hilly Crocker (MBi ''long then, runnlllg like mad. "Hello!" says he. "(iuess I'm late." "(iuess you are. lazy-lsmes," says I, banding it i its some crackers und punk. "Hut now you're here, so blaze away." "Jimmy," cried Tod, toiichinp my arm; and the cracker I'd lighted wen: IT rather ijuiek. However, it didn't hurt much. I put my linger in my mouth to cool it. "Jimmy. 1 can't open the front door; it's locked." "That's so!" 1 says. "How stupid of me! 1 forgot to li the night latch." "Oh, Jimmy, I'm awful sleepy," says Tod.

It wouldn't have hurt her bit to j

take a nap on the nice warm glass, but mother hud watned me 'opOCtnll) 'mlaal that. If Lonla had been home. I could have called her quietly. She was awaj on u isit, though, and I hated to disturb mother and father. "Let her take a nap in Hint empty car." says Hilly. It, had stood on the side track several das, and I thought it a capital Idea, So 1 went across the road ith Tod au! ahd lad down on one of the eUBfaiOf! scats. it was pnlty wann, but I didn't want to ran any risk, so Hilly roiled up his coat for a pillow and I put mine over her. and she w as f st asleep in a minute. We had a tit c time after that. Hilly being a boy with ideas. What we didn't do with Rrecrackera isn't worth ment ioning. Hut after tbe had Inch wa had setting off aome In front of the chicken coop we nearly killed two of our bctt

chickens I drew the line at firing any

near the setting hen. Hilly thought it would He fun to see what she'd do, hut somehow I felt it would be better not to. Bcafdca, that neu w as Jerry 'a I never thought once nf Tod till Html breakfast time, when mother put her head ut of t In- window and called : "Come. Jimmy; it's time to get ready for breakfast. Bring Tod in." "AH right!" I shouted; and Hilly and I ran over to Iba track. And no ear was there! Bill and I just looked ot each other, tad I felt kind of dioy, Hcatttch both hands in his pockets and nid "Whew!" with very red face. "The ear's pore!" said 1. though pVapO if wasn't I necessary remark. The net minute we were rushing lata the station ai d aaklng if the ear had p-me with tbt 'i't o'clock train. The agaat said it bad, and naked nw If 1 felt sick. Will, I did, sort of: but I hadn't time to tell him so. and I ran. full tilt, out of the station door and got into the 7:fn that, was ju-t rrady to start. "What, are ynu going to do?M snys Wir

"Of course the men in that truin'd know." says I. "That train's gOM back 1 this time, you silly!" I'd never thought of that. Just then 'long came the conductor. "Tickets!" suiil he. And of course we hadn't any, hut I paid him. and he gavo me a lip of cardboard vith printing on it. lie looked good-natured. I'd often seen bin before, so I just told him the whole story. He sat down in front of us, us kind and sy input lid ic as could be. "It'a too late now," said he; "the. train's started back. We passed it at Mart in Tille, Hut I'll make inquiries. Don't you cry. little boy." Ami 1 wasn't. One or two tears aren't cry ing, I hope. "Than your parents will be in a tine worry, too." say sie. "I'll ..end them a telegram when the train gets ir.." The minute we got into the station the conductor took us to a room, w here be said lost articles were sent. "My sister isn't nn article," says I. thinking of "a," "an." and "the," that I was studying about in grammar. "I puesi, you'd think she was a very precious article if you could Bad her." And he sort. of la upheel. 1 don't ec bow he could. "See nnytblng of a little lost girl on the si o'clock local from Ilarristow n ?" the conductor asked, when we go! to the lost art iele room. "No," said a man, w riling tit a desk, l.i m r looking up. "Nothing reported here, except three handkerchiefs, a glove and two boys' coals brought in from that train. That's all." "Those are our coats," said I. "Then identify 'em." Hid the man. I looked at Bill and he looked at me; then we huth looked at the conductor, u ho In Oghed again. "Describe y our coats, hoys." said he. "Oh'" m; s we. And then we told him, and he brought nut two coats, which, sure 'noiigh, w ere OOrn. "Mine was hut her and Hilly's was rolled up under her head," 1 sai l. "W ho?" asked the man. "Tod." 1 suid. "W as that your brother's name?"

"No. sir; it's my sister's, and I should think you might act 's if you cared a little, "cause she's lost." "Oh. she'll turn up all ripht," said that hat'il-hearted. mean man. and went on w rit inp.

All this time the conductor had been standi np in the dOOTW 1 . w it h his forehead all puckered up, like father's when he's thinkinp. Tonne, hoys." says he; "we'll po and tePgrapn tO your father." "I'll bet my kite you'll nevi r see her again, Jimmy." Hilly said, and then he began to tell me a story 'bout a little girl who got lost and was never found. I don't h'lieve 1 ever liked Hilly Crocker so llttM as then, but 1 tried to make 'low a noes for him. 'cause Tod w asn't his sister, yon see. Hcsides. if I'd spoken sharp to him. as I felt half a mind to. I was sure I'd break outcrying. After the conductor had telVrnphed to father, wc got in the ear again, lie nee Blllj and me each two sandwiches.

j He -aid he thought we must bt hOttgrj. I And he was right, and eer since that I

don't think conductors can he heat for being pond to little hoys. He made the train stoo at cvere tta-

tion on the way hack, but eer Itme he'd come in he'd say : "Nu new y et," and I w i.ilu-d he wouldn't say it quite o of tl n. Hilly t l ied to "cheer me" by idling all k i iiiS of stories. He said he was cirla i a Tod had either been stolen for a ransom or else she'd beet, carried of? so's to tell her hair f r w igs, like a story he'd read, or she might have been sold sumew here for a sla e 'Anyhow, she'su goner. Jimmy," said he at the Ial station before llni ristuwn, "and an sorry forymi, 'cause you're 'mi st sure to get a Ilching That's 'bout tbl HNa I looked tit it, but aonaebon I feltl be worn! a boat Tod. When we got to II a r l i s I o i; we saw mother and father Itanding on the Station platform. The nevt n.-nute the train had stopped, und Hilly said: "I'm glad I'm not in pour shoes. Jimmy." And I boa he sneaked out of the r ar door and was gone uicker'n yon could wink. Well, when I pet out. I just rushed up to mot he? and out both amis around her, and said : "Oh. mother! what shall wedo?" She hugged me just as tight and binned me. "My pool, dear, careless boy!" said she. ' "Oh. Jimmy, we was .o seared 'bout you!" said somebody else. And I looked up in n hurry, and f here would you blice it '.' stood Tod ! "Why why. mother!" was nil 1 could manage to say. Then father naked bm aome qneotiotM and seemed as glad to see me as if I'd In en loot 'attend Of Tod. Then we went ov r home. I felt so fired and sleepy J could hardly walk,

and as soon wi t there I laid down on the lounge and was made much of by everyone, 'stead of being in disgrace, a I supposed I'd lie. Tod sat in bo? little chair close to me ; a nil held my hand in one of hers and her doll In the other one. and I never saw her look so pretty, and she explained 1 he w hole thing. "Why. Jimniie." said she. "I woke up ' in just a little while and din. bed out of the car. And Norah was at the back

door and I went right in. So I wasn't lost at all." Nobody so, Mod me the least bit. Mother said she thought I'd be punished enough, and she hoped I'd profit by it. Then she kissed me. After Jerry came home I heard her say one day to father: "I b'licve you're right 'hont James. I reallv see signs of improvement in him at last." And T tbittb that's tbe most remarkable part of my story, don't you? (Tieh sea C Fraser. in Detroit Free Press.

The financial intrigues of british, stock jobbers, money leiulers, ami bond, holder have injund t be 1'nited Statea more than all the wars and calamitiea of every kind w hich our people have auffered. The (lemonetlnation of silver, tbe appreciation of gold, the fall of nahm, and the atagnatloa of baabMaM n Inch now atHU't our p ojile result from the same malign inllutice which embarrassed our country in tbe time of Jefferson. On the 10th day of March, Itla, Mr. Jefferson, writing from Mentiie.Io, to a friend. Caesar A. Ihxii.ey, explained our relations with the ruling classes and the money power uftireat Britnla as Ii i y then existed and aa the l.ow exist, lie said: 'What nourishment ami support would not Bagband receive from an hundred millions of industrious dtscendants, whom some if her people now born will live to see here. What their energies are, she has lately tried. And what has she not to fear from an bunilrtd millions of such men, if she continues her maniac course of haired and hostilities to them. 1 hope in tod she will charge. There ia not a nation on the globe with whom I hae more earnestly wished a friendly intercourse on equal conditions. On no other would 1 hold out the hand of friendship to any. I know that iheir creatures represent me as personally nn enemy to Knglaud. Hut fools only can believe this, or thoae w ho think me a fool. 1 am an enemy to her aaulteaad injuries. 1 am an enemy to the flagitious principles of her administration, and to those which govern her con 1 1 net tow ai i's ot her nations. Hut Mroald she give to morality some place in her political code, and especially would she exercise decency, and at least neutral passions towards us, there ia cot. 1 repeat it, a people on earth with whom I would sacrifice so much to be in friendship. They can do us, aa enemiea, more harm than any other nation; and in peace and in war, they have more moanaflf disturbing ua internally. Theii merchant established among us, the bonds by which our own are chained to their feet, und the banking combinatior.s interwoven with the whole, have shewn the extent of t heir control, even during a war with her. They are the workers of all the ein barrtissments our Bnnneea have experienced during the war. Declaring thcrusclv bankrupt, they have been able still to chain the government to a dependence on them; and had the war continued, they would have reduced us to tbe inability to com

mand a sinple dollar. They dared to p'. claim that they would not pay their own paper Obligation, yet our govern ment could not venture to avail thetns.lvca of this opportunity of sweeping their paper from the circulation, and substituting their own notes bottomed on specie taxes for redemption, which everyone would have i y taken and trusted, rather than the baseless tranh of bankrupt companies; our government, I say. have still been overawed from a contest w ith t hi m, and hasccn countenanced and strengthened their influence, by proposing new establishments, with authority to swindle yet greater sums from our citizens. Thia is Iho Itritish influence to which I am an enemy, and which we must subject to our government, or it will subject ua to that of Ilritain."- Silver Knight Watchman.

Im r.itis-rc mnot do this for any one at us, und certainly not fur all of us. Congress hau adopted the value of B.U grains of gold the unit of value, the V ngth of rtnin bar as the untt of anujtb, and the weight of a certain mass aa the unit of weight Thai lo tion does not lis the value of n grains of gold, but men ly determine that whatever that value ma ha, it b to be the laojal ontl of value .ingress hus said what a dollar hull be. but it cannot determine what a dollar will buy. To ask congress to fx the value Of UM grains of (Ota, In t. rms of the value of the average commodity. Is imply to ask congress lo tix the price of the uver.ig.' commodity In gold The value of the gold dollar Is determin. d by what It will buy. Very good, responds th? S Ivor Kaight-Watchanan. El i eejaallj true that all the persons in the world who produce wheal cannot determine what a perSOU will give for a bushel oi wheat, but if they should op producing win at it will hnrdl hecontendrd that a bushel of win at would not be worth more than it would be if the producers .f wheat should doable the production. All the BUea In tbe world who raise hoc-cannot eat what a person shall give for a HsMfcnd of pork. Ilu if they should stop raising hogs the price of pork would go np pretty prompt. Mi ney is the crr.itiun of law. If individuals attempt to create money in this country they are liable to be euugh't, convicted and sent to the penitentiary. The supreme court of the United Statea has repeatedly decided In the "it gal tender canoe that congress alone can create money and tint it maycreate it by the use of either metal, paper or any other suitable mat. rial and that the courts have no power to question the action of congress in exercising i: discretion to create full le;al tender inoney. It ir- true tls.it c ngress has adopted g&U grains of pure gold or

rtTt.L'5 grai':.- of pure stiver as the amount of gi ld and silver respectively to DOnit ltU4( a dollar, and has ceased to coin silver; consequently congress has-con fined the creation of new money to gold alone and thus limited the supply of money. Money i- an absolute necessity to civilian! ion, marly M much so as the air we breathe is a necessity to sustain life; consequently people are compelled to give up enough of property r services, if they have it. to buy gold enough to pny their debts or save them from starvation. Tin y estimate how much sacrifice they will make for geld, and they make a very unreasonable pocrinee because they cannot help it. Wheat has risen in the laut year from about CO cents to abotrt $1.00 a bushel. The men who buy wheat fix the price because litt) prefer a bushel of wheat to$l.t'.U. 'nut if there wxis a sufficient supply of eehOal Mi that they could get it for f0 cents a bushel that would be the market price of wheat to-doy. The limitation of the aaaonat of money to be created to the comnu (lity gold, and the dell eit BO of the supply of that ommodity makes gold money very dear, hut it would be la the powerof the government to make papeff money much dearer than gold money. The treasury department re ort that 'here are about $ l.unn.tioo.oou of money of various kinds in the Dalted Situtes. Suppose congress ahotihl reduce that a.mount t.) $s(M),t)0ikOO0 by declaring that neither gold nor silver m r S! rman n. 'es s;,,,iihl posMm any Iryl t ender q uality whatevrr. Baai arouM tbe paper money in this country compare with the demonetized gold? Hear in mind that all dibts ami tnxss would be then payable in paper money and paper money alone. Would not the owner of property who was compelled to have money to pay his debts and taxes give more for paper money thai he would fcr gold money ? The learned author of "sound inoney" any that value is determined by the parties tbeeaaateei in mahtog a contract, and in tbe same eonnection contends that the value of gold i fixed measure, the same an unit of length or a unit of freight. If the nnit of value were rBdaecd to the same certainty as a yard stick or a pound weight, how can a man fix It for himself? The lawfixes the length of a yard Mick. It also fixes the pound weight. Hut value Is simply estimation of parties making an exchange and cr tutot be llxed by 1 iw, but conditions may be changed by law

or by individual entcrptise. The government hiving a monopoly of making money enn fix the amount and fbf estimation of man in buy ing mutiny will be governed by the am. Mint of money in cireiilnt ion. the same as it is by the supply of wheat or cotton or ony other ci tnmo.lity. When the ou'hor of "sound money r.;hfiit that talne la estima

tion he stultifies himelf by comparing It to a yard stick. A yard iftiek is not estimation', it is exnet measurement. Value depi nd npnn the law of supply and demand, but t. yard 'ick is just 30 In. lies long without regard to the law of supply and demand or estimation. The number of yard sticks makes no rff rence In 1 he Is nr h of a janej l!ok. but the numlier of bushels of a he t produced or thp number of dolsara. in elrculrtion will always be the all-im-por(ant cnni!fraitlnn in fixing the price of wheat or the purdjoalng power of a lollsr

The great funiiaim t t a I law of finance, which is and has been recognised hf all p tionl eCOnOBaietl of eminence ia every age and nation, is that the currency of a nation, the lifeblood of comBteroti when contracted, causes general prices of all COaanaoditlea and of all property other than hoods to fall, and on the other bard, to rise by currency xpausion. This law is as immutable an the law of gravity. Wc Inquire, therefore, has the cur renCJ Of the United State been contracted. It has been contracted to bss than one-tenth of its former volume, although falsified trensury reports and a subsidised press in the interests ot money lenders aaeert tbC contrary. In 1KG5, the period of our greatest prosperity, as shown by (ien. A.J.

Jones at less than five dollars. In C,: labor was fully employed, it demni.d, and insufficient for requirements. Immigration was encouraged, and every industry was st i inula ted to tha greatest extent. The producers of wealth had the means of purchasing not only 1he necessaries of life, hut also comforts and luxuries. And althongh production was at e maximum, the great prosperity off tha people enable them to purchase nnd eonaame all tbftl was produced. The cry of Overproduction was unheard.
