Then the few whose spirits float above the wreck of happiness Are driven o'er the shoals of guilt or ocean of excess; The Biagnet of their course is gone, or only points in Tain The shore to which their shiver' d sa l shall never stretch again. Then the mortal coldness of the sonl like death itself comes down : It cannot feel for other's woes, it dare not dream That heavy chill has frozen o'er the fountaia of our tears And though the eye may sparkle still, 'tis where the ice appears. Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been. Or weep as I could once have wept, o er many a vamsuea scene: As springs in decert fn nd seem sweet all Lrackish though the be.

Now the word Tegulati" is in itself a clear intimation of the belief of the fathers that gold and! silver could j not have a ratio fixed once and forever, but that from time to time Congress would, of necessity, have to so adjust and readjust the relative proportions of gold and silver in the coined dollars as to keep them of equal intrinsic value. The word "regulate" has exactlv that shading of meaning as distin guished from the word "fixed." A thing that can bejfixed, like "the laws of the Medes ahd the Persians that altereth not," needs no j regu lation, and for the fathers to speak of Congress "regulating" the rela tive value of coins which they be- 1 1 PVPrl wnnM lnotrii VAmnfn 1 ft tn i n.iiri .y,..;!. century.

The ratio was as to 1 among the Greeks and Romans. It was not until the seventeenth century that the ratio stood at 12 to 1, and at the time our constitution was framed the legal proportion wis 16 for 1 in Spain, 15 for 1 in France and 154 So that! when Madison and the First Con- DEMOCEACY'S DOCTRINE" "TRADITIONAL OF MONEY. for 1 in England. Mr. Jefferson, Mr. their colleagues in gress came to consider the question of coinage under the constitution which they had framed they were in great doubt and not a little per plexity as to whether it was best to adopt one ratio . or another. Their writings bear ample witness to this fact. Mr. Jefferson, In his "Notes on the establishment of a money unit and a coinage for the 1 1 i- in Savinjr Hank Building, ifutli Kltn street, Greensboro, N. 1. J. SHAW. A.

In the early part of the century the largest nugget on record in the United States was discovered there. ?: Just a month ago pne weighing over eight pounds was discovered. The formation in which the gold is found is so pecu liar that Mr. Becker has found it best to disregard the old expression of vein or ledge and adopt the new one bf "stringer belt." Most of the stringers of gold-bearing quartz are extremely thin; As a rule they run through a slate formation which has been split apart by thousands of tiny longitudinal cracks in which the gold-bearing veins run.

Atlakta, Ga May 7. Colonel Evan P. Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution, adds an interesting chapter to the controversy over what occurred at the Hampton Roads conference between Presi dent Lincoln and Hon. Alexander Stephenr, Vice-President of the Confederacy. It will be remem bered that Mr. Watterson recently stated that at that conference President Lincoln presented a sheet of paper to Mr. Stephens, saying : I will write the word Union at the top, and you may write what you please on the other end." This statement is taken as mean ing . that Mr. Lincoln was ready and willing to pay the South for the slaves. . In last Sunday's Con stitution, John Temple Graves en deavored to show that Mr. Lincoln made no such proposition, and! he quotes from Messrs. Stephens, Reagan, Hunter, and Campbell.' to sustain him in the issue thus made. The Philadelphia Times, in an ed itorial written, presumably, by Col. McClure, throws additional light on the subject, claiming that. Mr. Lincoln would have proposed! to pay the South four hundred mil lion dollars for her slaves, but did not 'make the proposition, simply L-f jj because Mr. Stephens had stated at nthar eon the outset that he could not enter tain any proposition that did not embrace the perpetuity of the Con fed racy. 1, ! DETAILS OP THE CONVZBSATIOV. Colonel Howell's letter gives the details of the conversation he had with Alexander H. Stephens on the subject under discussion. Shortly after Mr. Stephens was inaugu rated Governor of Georgia, in the year 1882, he spent, as the guest of Colonel Howell, a day at Howell s home. After dinner the talk turned to the Hampton Roads conference, and Mr. Howell asked Mr. Stephens if he ever had any hope that the conference would turn out differ ently from the way it did. Mr. Stephens said: "I had great hope when the question was first agitated about the conference. I was always in favor of settling the war and pre bloodshed, tions binding us then tn rAmii. only ithef independence of the ooutn, prevented our accomplish ing anything, for at the threshold of Mr.r Lincoln's desire for peace was his determination that it must be based upon union. " These are the words, as near as I can remember, which Mr. Ste phena spoke at my residence, says Colonel Hdwell. With the execu tion pf my family, the only person present was the late Mark Johnson. an intimate friend of Mr. Stephens' sincej boyhood, and a neighbor of mine, whom I had invited ot er to take; dinner. l aspect Mr. Stephens at that time to permit me to publish the covejrsatioh, but he expressed his preference to have nothing said about it, as the conference was a matter f.of I unwritten history, and he did hot; feel even then author. ized to make it public Since then, however, the matter has comes ud for newsnaner dia, cusslon. I think it but justice to an concerned that the publie be given tne jjenent of this statement from one I of the most important characters in that noted conference.

He BAAmed to be in a splendid humor " S remained with me. It sometimes slumbered like the fire in an old ' . . . a e 1 stump ; but soon tne wina wouia change when the fire would kindle and begin to burn in the old stump. So; it was with me after holding off for a ;long time. Some old con genial friend of my boyhood days would be met, old times to do taix- ed over, and to add to the enjoy ment of the occasion we would have to! celebrate our meeting and part ing with a social drink then f all restraint was gone. So it is with manyl otners. navmg uigreaao , and excellent spirits. After a while wjn return toTny conversation with joined him and we went apart Swift!Galloway when I was trying from the others and sat down at a small table, where there was writ ing material. This was before any formal discussion had commenced. He broached the subject of the conference and expressed special pleasure at the fact that I was" one of the commissioners. He said to me with great earnestness : "I be lieve you and I can settle this mat ter. I know you and you know me, I have confidence in your integrity, and believe you have in mine. I do not think you would ask me to do anything improper, and I would not require your consent to any thing which I believed unjust." Picking up a piece of paper, and pushing it towards me, he said: "I will write one word at the top of this sheet of paper, and that word will be 'Union,' and with that as a basis, you may write out the terms of settlement, and on that I will use all my influence to) have Congreass settle as we agree." I then told him what our in structions were from President Davis, and when I did a cloud came over his face, and his chin dropped to his breast, and for several minutes he did not say a word. After a pause, he raised up out of his seat and said to me with hands uplifted : COULD BE NO 8ETTLXM1NT. "Then I am not responsible for any further bloodshed. I had hoped the war would end with this conference, but it is impossible to make any settlement with the in structions by which you are bound. I trust you will consider confi dential what has occurred between us." f . "If we had been empowered to negotiate a settlement with the preservation of the Union j as a basis, the South would have been tnr it alaves. and we i would k a nt nv lust and reasonable recognition at the bands Lincoln. Of coqrse our of Mr. instruo to get. him to tase tne treatment, lie protested that it was an evi dence Of weakness to go to the In stitute.; I replied that it was one of strength -all one had to do was to acknowledge himself whipped, then lie was ready to go. This my friend did not want to do. Alas! Thisis the trouble with many, and is keeping many a good man to-day from taking the treatment. I fin ally jsaid, "Swift, if I ask you a straightforward question, will i you give me an honest answer?" ! He said j he would. "Well," said I, you lean quit, you have quit, but like ine, you don't stay quit. Now tell mb if you can quit wanting to drink' or quit wanting the effects?" His answer was, "I never thought of that; and can you quit wanting it after going to Keeley's?" ! My rftnW I was. "You can !" "Well, than " he savs. "this has struck enA in' a, nitw llVht. I will try It." Anrll Vou know, he did, and to-day h i- man. And I thank; God that I may have been the cause in part that it is so. Would to ; God that t could reach many more such. I would perhaps feel that good sometimes comes out of evil." To return to my friend whom I was talking to, I discovered his interest in the conversation he was having with me, but was suddenly called awayi On returning to the store for some purchases before leaving town! the clerk in the store, who heard the conversation, says to me, "I did not know our friendwas a drunkard." I said, ."Neither did I."jAnd the clerk said, "After you! left he returned to me and said he would give S500 to feel like you (ijffelt." if j; i jsfith best wishes for you in your noble work and asking the bless ings bf a great and good God in all things, I am, - J if Truly and iraiernauy, if Thbo.
