Since the hour of bis marriage he
bad given up all his baqbelor iudul
gen'ces, and walked unswervingly in
the narrow path of rectitude and
virtue. He was doing hik beat to re
deem the past, and to retrieve his
fallen fortunes. And here came the
invitations to the Belvidere ball; in
the most inopportune time.
He reached his office With a heavy
heart, and set about his Work, count
ing over the long list of unpaid bills.
"It" Berry would only give up the

raised his eyes from the dreary ledger
But pretty Berenice, with her peach
bloom cheeks and red-gold tresses,
had no such thought as that. Just
before the hour for. closing she came
Hitting into her young husband's
office, such a radiant creature, in her
silks and jewels, that be forgot his
cares, aud looked up with a smiling
welcome.
"I've been out shopping, love," she

of assuming and pay

acts of the 10th of March, 186G, aud
the 20th of August, 1868, at the rate
of 25 per centum; for the bonds is
sued since 20th of may, 1861, in pur
suance of acts passed before said
last named date, ut the rate of 20 per
cetnum; for the registered certifi
cates of indebtedness due to the Lit
erary Fund, at the rate of 33$ per
centum, and it 6hall be the duty of
the Literary board to so convert! said
certificates. The bonds so issued shall
be iu the usual form of bonds of this
State, and that the debt of the State
so made shall be styled as "The con.
solidated debt of the State," and such
debt and the bonds -so to be issued
shall not be construed to change the
nature of the debt of the State, but
to reduce the same to . such a sum as
can be paid. The bill also provides
tor the manner of raising the money
to pay the actual interest on the
bonds so issued.

Tombs (o Atlanta reporter: . In a
few words, let me say that I am vio
lently opposed to this great extortion
that money changers are practicing
upon the 'poor people. It lias been
condemned by the great philosopher-
Jesus Christ. He never committed
"assault and battery" but once in bis
life, and that was when be overthrew
the thieves who were swindling the
people in God's bouse. The idea of
money being free an bow ! It is not
free now even. It is made a graud
monopoly of. There is an old mai-
m that a meaner or inferior, currency
will always drive out a , better or su
perior currency, it was the case witu
the Confederate scrip. The Yaukee
rag money has driven out the gold
and silver, and now these ragged tank
notes are taking the place of tbe Yan
kee rags. Well, we bavo a circula
ting medium, therefore, nothing
senr-cely except paper money, and the
xankee government has. refused to
give us any more oi that;1 so what
there is of it can bo monopolized.
There is uo doubt of it. These same
facts go to show that money is not an
article of commsree according to the
common accepUion of tbe term Corn,
cotton auddmcon cau be furnished to
suit the demand. If there were to be
a great demand- for shoes here in 1
Atlanta all at occe, an immeneo cargo
could be shipped from Boston in a
short time. It is not so with money,
for there is a limited quantity of it iu
existence. Then, according to tha
very nature of things, mouey is a Lae-r
