The Secretary oi the Treasury, in compliance with a resolution of the House, reports the lost of refunding the national debt into the five per cent bonds authorized by the act of Congress July 14,1870, and January 30 1871, Ac The whole amount of bonds refunded is $314,416, 150, as follows : Bonds bearing six per cent interest to bonds bearing five per cent interest, $300,461,150; bonds beaming five per cent interest, loan of 1858, to bonds bearing five per cent interest, founded loan of 1881, $13,955,000. The cost thereof has been $1,440,792. By the terms of the agreement with the parties contracting for the loan they were to pay all expenses and to received for their compensation the one half of one per cent allowed by law. Upon settlement with said parties all expenses incurred by the Govern ment were first deducted and the balance only paid them. The refunds on account of the loan of 1858 $13,955,000 aud the moneys received from the Geneva award $15,500,00 were not made through any contracting parties, and therefore no commissions thereon were allowed. In the adjustment of differences in interest be tween the six per cent bonds redeemed, and the five per cent bonds issued in lieu thereof, the Government has received its proper allow ance. Wilmi n y ton Journal. to Using Nails. Every farmer, who has occasion to drive a nail into seasoned oak posts, knows its liabilities to bend aud break. moutu it much better, but then it is inconvenient to dip each nail separately iuto it. Another point is, that boards become loose eventually from the rusting of the uails, which, communicat ing to the wood, causes not only an enlarge- ment oi tne nan noie, not me wearing away of the nail itself, rendering the fence or the building shaky and insecure. This may be P' evented by heating any rougn grease un til it smokes, and then pouring it over the nails to be used. The grease will penetrate the pores of the iron, and cause the nails to last without rusting for sn indefinite period. Besides this, no difficulty will then be ex perienced in driving them into the hardest wood. The reason is, that the coating of the crease prevents contact by air, and con- I n0-,l,i,r Mrs Christ ministered to the sequently oxidation.

Auytning wnicn is Kept trom Nobility of Christian Discipleship. Rev. Dr. Raleigh. There is reason to fear that some young people in these times are kepi back from the complete surrender of themselves to the teaching and will of Obrist by some kind of dim thought that, after all, a real Christian discipleship, while no doubt it may be the safest, is jtt not fas grandest , thing for a young person of a noble and I aspiring disposition. Now, young friends, I pray jou, think this matter through, and through, and through again ; and then follow that winch is noblest. If there be any greater, more beautiful thing, "giv en under heaven," or known among men, than humble Christian learning and reso lute Christian living then elect and foU low that nobler thing : Iu that ease you would soon have all Christian people keep ing vou company. But if there be noth ing better known or imaginable, nothing that can come even into momentary com parison with Christian discipleship, you v. a a . i - aa ne d not surely wonder mat we wuo nave for that, she never goes linsr. and tellinr thinrs to make others feel mean and uncomfortable, and I hate her on this account.

Hate h -r 1 I should think I had enough to hate her for. She can sing and I can't, and I bate her for that. When I offered to tell her half a dozen lies that I had heard and twelve that I made up about her and she wonld not hear me, I was mad enough at her to bite her head off the stuck-up, decietful thing ! When I give her advice she pays no attention to it, and I hate hsr for that. When I try to tell her of somethiug a bout ber basband that will make her hate bim as I hate mine, she will not even lis ten to me, and I hate her for that.
