Reformation of the Currency.?Tho WashSngton

says:
I loam that a movement i* about to be commenced
l>y democratic organization in regard
to a reform of the currency and proper regulations
of the local hanks. Tlic democratic clubs
In New York will take up the subject prior to
the approaching election, and make it one of
their issues.
The plan is to he proposed for the modificn
lion of the banking system afld improvement
<ofthe curroney is the adoption by the States of
' Che independent treasuries, after the example
of the government, and the prohibition of the
issue by the local banks of notes under the denomination
of ten dollars. The Iwo measures
combined would greatly widen the basis of the
metallic currency, ;and tend to check inprndent
expansions uy me uddkb. ii tne State oi JNew
York would adopt these improvements the exmnplo
would "soon be followed bv other
States.
The general government might afford some
"nid to the measure by a law imposing an excise
Upon all bank notes of a denomination under
ten dollars. <Tbe State Legislatures may also
do mucl??to'obtain a sound currehcy by requiring.
as in New York, '^deposit by the'bankB of
good stocks to seenreythe redemption of their
issues. After all, the country would uot be
froitt tbe hazard of mischievous fluctuations
in t)ie amount of currency, nor could the
tbirst for excessive speculation be extinguished.
But our revulsions, under such a system, would
bo less freqaent and severe.

| AVn.it lh>*:s it Cost to Visit Kckoi'E.?This
i interesting question is thus satisfactorily answered
hy n correspondent of the ISoston Post:
"This is a question that I btu nsl;ed not frequently*,
mill something may lie said in answer
that will he of advantage to the ine\|>?rieneeil
traveller. Wore I to state that 1 spent
ten or forty thousand dollars during inv first
visit to Europe?and it was near the latter stun
than the former?it. would rarely lie saving
nothing definite, so I tell what may lie ?fe.ne.
I Stay-at-home people have some very singuhir
j ideas of the expense of foreign travel. I am
j not writing for the information of beggars, robj
hers or gamblers, hut for those who take moj
ney enough with them to pay all their expenses,
personal or otherwise. 1 Miring mv last
I visit, to Europe, I visited England, Trance,
I Belgium, Holland, Cermany, Switzerland,
I northern Italy and Sardinia, and was gone
from liomc about 1"0 dnj's. Wlion I have
been asked what it cost me, 1 Imvc sometimes
asked inv questioner to "guess" the amount.
The sum named has been usually $2,000 or X'J,.
COO. It whs about one fifth of the latter sum
j?to wit five hundred?ami the very same
i scenes can he visited now for otic-half that
; sum, and travel respectably. Money being
usually an important consideration, we wish.
| in travel, as iu other investments, to get as
| much value as possible for our dollars. L believe
travellers usually do not. get more than
one-half what they miirht. If a man wishes to
become well acquainted with the Knglish people
at home, or any other people iu their domestic
uud social relations, and their political
condition, he must stay awhile, making his
home with them.

Henry Ward Bcecher on Boys.
A boy is a piece of existence ijnite scpa- i
rate* from all tilings else, anil deserves scpa- j
rate ehapleisin the natural history of man. j
The real lives of boys are yet lo be writ ton.
The lives of pious ami good boys, which
enrich the catalogues of great publishing
houses, U'seinblu a real boy's life about as
much :is a chicken picked and larded upon
a spit, and ready for delicious eating, rescm
bles a free fowl in fields. With some few i
honorable exceptions, they are impossible
boys, with incredible goodness. Their pie- 1
tv i? ini\ncf rnilfi A iivnt'c e???L
"V ??ptin?-vnui !
fed into a little boy is simply monstrous. |
And we are soundly skeptical of this whole
school of jt'ilc tic Juie yras pidv. Apples;
that ripen long before their time are either 1
diseased or worm-bitten.
.So long as boys are babies, how much
they are cherished ! Hut by-and-by tIn*
cradle is needed for another. From the
time a babe becomes a boy, until he is a
young man, he is in an anomalous condi- j
tion, for which there is no special place as- !
signed in nature. They are always in the
way. They are always doing something to j
call down rebuke. They are inquisitive as \
monkeys, ami meddlesome just where yon :
don't, wish them to be. ]5uys have a period '
of mischief ns much as tlmy have measles j
or chicken-pox. They invade your drawers, i
mix up your tooth-powder with hair-oil; j
pull your laces and collars from their repos- j
itories; upset your ink upon iuvaluablu j
manuscripts; tear up precious letters, sealtei I
your wafers, tick everything up wilhexperi- j
mental soaling-wax, aial spoil all your pens j
in the effort of spoiling all your paper.
Poor hoys! What arc they good for? j
It is an unfathomable mystery that wceomo j
to our manhood (as the Israelites reachedCaiman)
through the wilderness of boyhood.1

must not have, going where they ought not j
to he, coming where they arc not wanted, |
saying the most awkward things at the !
most critical times. They will tell lies, and !
after infinite pains to teach them theohliga- 1
tions of truth, they give us the full benefit i
of frankness and literalness by blurting out j
before company a whole budget of family j
secrets. Would you take a quiet!
nap! Slambatiggo a whole bevy of boys ;
through the house! Has the nervous baby !
at length, after all manner of singings, trottings,
soothings, and maternal bosom opiates,
just fallen asleep ? Be sure an unmannerly
boy will be on hand to bawl out for permission
to do something or other which he has
been doing all day without dreaming of
leave.
The restless activity of boys is their necessity.
To restain it is to thwart nature.
We need to provide for it. Notto attempt
to fin<j amusement for them ; but to give
tbein'kpportunity to amuio themselves. It
is asioimiiing 10 see now niuu it requires to
satisfy a boy nature.
First in the list, I put strhir/*. What
grown up people find in n thousand forms
of business and society, a boy secures in a
string! * lie ties up the door for the exquisite
pleasure of untieing it n^ain. lie harnesses
chairs, ties up his own fingers, halter?
his neck, coaxes a lesser urchin to bocome
bis horse, and drives a stage?which, wiih
boys, is the top of human attainment.?
Strings are wanted for snares, for nQ^
4frrows, for whips, for catVcradlea foil kites,
for fishing, and a hundred things more than
1 can recollect. A knifo is more exciting
than a string, but d^es not last so long, and
is not so'various. After a short tiino it is
lost, or broken, or has cut the finger. But
a string is the instrument of endless devices,
and within the management and ingenuity of
a boy. The first article that parents should
lay in, on going to the country, is a large
ball of Twine. The boys must uotk now it.
If they see a whole ball, the charm is broken.
It must come forth, mysteriously, unotpectedly,
and as if there were no more.
For indoors, next, we should place upon
the* list pencils and white paper. At least
due hoar in every day will be safely eectffed

Upon the whole, we tlrink a *nfe utrefur
v of w^Uerjieju- by.affords'lbe rroiio'
r of ehjdyrtilnt am<jng all .natural objects.?
There is wading and washing; there >1
n
I throwing of stones, am! finding of pebbles ; |
t there is engineering, of the most laborious i
kind, by which stone and mud are made to
1 dam up tho water, or to change the channel.
lJesides theso things, boys are sensitive
to that nameless attraction of beauty
| which specially hovers about the sides of
streams; and though they inav not recognize
(he cause, they are persuaded of the
fact that they aro very happy when there
j are stones with gurgling water around them,
! shady trees and succulent undergrowth,
moss and water cress, insect., bird, stud all
the population of eool water courses.
Hut boys are not always boys. All that
is in us in leaf, is in them in bud. The ;
' very yearning-*, the musings, yea, the very !
' ijuestioiis w hich occupy our later years as I
; serious task*, aro found in the occasional '
hours of boyhood. Wo have scarcely !
: heard one moral problem discussed in later \
life that is not questioned by children.? '
j The creation of the world, the origin of i
evil, divine foreknowledge, human liberty,
the immortality of the soul, and various
other elements of elaborate systems, belong
: to eliildl lood. Men trace the connections |
i of truth, and their ethical applications and j
relations, but tlio simple elements of the '
i most rocomlitc truths seem to have gained j
I in them very little by the progress of years. |
i Indeed, .'ill truths whose root and life is in j
the intinite are like the fixed stars, which ;
become no larger under the most powerful ;
telescope than llie natural eye. Their <lis- j
tanee is too vast to make an appreciable !
variation in magnitude posiblc. They are .
mere |)uints of light.
lioys have their sort and gontlo words,
loo. Vou would suppose hy ihe inciting
racket that nothing could he more foreign
l<> their nature than romance and vague !
sadness, such as ideality produces in adults. ]
But hoys have hours of great sinking and ,
sadness, when kindness and sadness are peculiarly
needed to them.
It is worthy of notice, how soon a little
kindness, a little consideration for their hoy
nature, wins their confidence and caresses.
Every hoy wants some one older than him- J
sen 10 wnoin no may go in moods ot conn j
dome and y?-arning. The neglect of the !
child's waul by grown people, and llie
treating of children as little rattling, noisy
imps, not yet subject to heart-throes, beeanse
they are so frolir-some. One of the
most common form of selfiishness, is that
which refuses to recognize ami experience !
as woilhy of attention if it lies in a sphere
hi-!: w our own. Not only might a man to '
humble himself as a little child, but also to
little children.
Thousand things are blamed in them
simply because, measured by our manhood
standard, they are unfit, whereas upon the
scale of childhood they are congruous and
proper. We deny children's requests often
upon the scale of our own likings and disliking.
We attempt to govern them bv a
man's regimen and not by a child's.
And yet, badgered, snubbed and scolded
on the one band, petted, flattered, and indulged
on the other?it is astonishing how
many children work their way up to an
honest manhood in spite of parents and
friends. Human nature has an element of
great toughness in it. When we seo what
men aie made of, our wonder is not that so
many children are spoileJ, but that so many
are saved.
The country is appointed of God to be
the children's nursery; the citv seems to
have been made by malign spirits to destroy
children in. The)' are cramped for
room, denied exercise, restrained of wholesome
liberty of body, or, if it is allowed, at
tlio ri>k of morals.
Children are half educated who are allowed
to he familiar with the scenes and
experience of the open country. For this,
if for no other reason, parents might make
an effort every year to remove their children
for some months from the city to the
country. For the best effect it is desirable
that they should utterly leave the city behind
them. It is absurd to go into the
country to find the luxuries of a city. It is
to get rid of them that they go. Men are
?.w1 l.if
vonience in the city. Tlicy grow artificial:
They lose a relish for natural beauty and
the simple occupations of a rural life. Our
; children need a separate and special train*
ing in country education. We send them
to tin: Poly technique for eij^tt months.?
Hut for four months we send them to God's
school in the openness and simplicity of the
j country. A diploma in this school will bo
of service to body nnd mind while life lasts.

A few days ???>, an agent for otic of our |
prominent broker firms piescnted some j
Kentucky notes at tlie counter of tlie bank
in one of the river towns in Kentucky, and
politely asked for the specie. Tlio following
colloquy and incidents thereupon turned
up :
Ollicer of the Hank?"Where are you j

Agent?''That is immaterial, sir."
Ollioel*?"Arc you a broker's agent ?"
Agent?"That's my busings."
Ollicer?"Whose money is this]"
Agent?"Mine, and I wish to know !
whether you will redeem it, or whetheryon

Hereupon the oflicer consulted wiili other
oilicers ot' the bank and in a few 1110- ,
ments afterwards the specie was counted ;
out in half dimes, dimes, quarters and half |
dollars. The agent was slightly nonplussed
for an instant, not being provided with
a black carpet-bag, but observing a siis- j
pieious gathering of outsiders in the banking
room he found there was no time to bo
lost and immediately commenced Mulling
tlie precious but troublesome metal into

tended like an Alderman's paunch, and i
there being still more left, lie was tniu to
content himself by thrusting tho Italance '
in his bosom, until he looked as full breas- '
ted as a thorough bred short-horned hull.
A dozen or more excited fellows of the
town, very respeetauto looking personages '
withal, had l?y this timo miirounded the j
agent. and manifested a determination to
bar his exit from the bank, and sternly in- j
dieated a desire that lie should "sell-out." ?
living a plucky fellow, the agent simply re- !
marked, "(jentletnen, you will oblige me ;
by permitting mu to retire." No one , ;
moved. The latter reiterated his desire i I
with a slight emphasis a approaching do- |

Advice for tho Times.
Don't fret and become misanthropic, as if
the world were wronging you. Your condition
is trying enough, without adding to
its' affliction by converting your thoughts
into thorns for indicting self-torment. It
is true enough that there are things in our
social relations that ought to he otherwise,
Itiit llii'ir ln? c ! ?
Tlio majority, however, sympathise
with you in the hardness of your lot,
and almost as anxiously await an improvement
in your circumstances as yourselves.
It is of no nse to curse a particular class in
society, as if it were hostile to your interests,
or imagine that the rich are devoid of feeling,
and might find labor for the poor if they
would. In tliese times millionaires are seeing
their splendid fortunes slide from beneath
them, and arc experiencing a disappointment
of which yon know nothing.
1 >oii't waste your money, hy going
from plaeetoplacc in the vain pursuit of la- j
hor. Theie is as much work here Ibrtlie pop- ;
illation, as anywhere. Indeed the pressure
does nut yet so oppressively Hlicet lis as
many other places. 1'iohahly too, we shall
feel ivlief as speedily as any. Unless then
there is a very strong prospect of improving
your condition hv a charge you had hctler !
keep your money than expend it in travelling j
or moving.

Miasm and Mai.ahia.?Miasm and malaria
are the great death agents throughout
the largest portion of the habitable
'lobe. Miasm is malaria, but malaria is
no miasm.
Miasm is an emanation from decaying
vegetation. Malaria is bad air whatever
rimy be its soruce. All impure air is malaria.
Miasm is so rariiied by a sun of
ninety degrees, that it ris?s rapidly above
lis, and is innocuous. The cool of llie muring
and evening of summer time condenses
it and causes it to fall to the surface of the
earth, where it isbreathed l>y man, nnd is tlie
fruit fill cause of pestilence, plague and epp
ilcmio fevers. Thus, the higher persons
deep above, the surface of the earth, the
healthier is the atmosphere.
While, as a general rule, it is hotter to
sleep in apartments having a window and
the tire place open in all seasons, yet where
miasm abounds, evidencing its proence by
i-hills and lever and ague, diarrhoeas, and
Lhe like, it is better to sleep with closed
windows than to have them open, because
men are knowuAo fatten in jails and small
|?rison colls, while the breathing a malaria a
single night originated diseases, which from
the voilcnce of their action, are scarcely
distinguishable from the effects of swallowing
corrosive poison, as witnesses the National
Hotel disease.
l>ut although the air inside of a home is
supplied from the outside, yet if tho winJows
and outside doors are closed, it is supplied
in such small quantities, through the
are vices, that it is at once heated by the
indoor air, and carried to tho ceiling, where
it is above reach. The difference between
the thermometer in our hall and the one
[>ut doors, about live o'clock of a summer's
morning, is ten degrees. Hence, during
the prevalence of miasm, at least in August

Tiik Camkl Kxi'j:kiment.?The latest
advices received here concerning the progress
and promise of the camel experiment
of the Government in its military operations
on the frontier, continue to confirm
I he highest hopes of its friends. From the
animals were lauded on the cost of Texas
to litis hour ihe experiment lias proved an
emineii'.ly successful one ; until tho experience
had with them as lieasts of burden
has been such that all oncer ned in their j
management and use are unanimously of!
opinion that they suit, as beasts of burden,
the requirements of our great western
plains as well as those of Asia and Africa.
In persevering to obtain from Congress the
moans of making these experiments, and
in his sagacious arrangements to consummate
them to the host advantage, the late
Secretary of War has certainly conferred a
benefit on his country second to none other
for which the nation has so far been indebted
to a gentleman in a similar official
position. In twenty five vears hence cam
el trains will Iks well nigh as common in
the fur west of tlie United States as on the
most travelled routes of the East. Uy this
time next yea' they will doubtless, be imported
on private account, and bo in actual
nse by citizens crossing the North American
desert. As yet, the national advantages
to result from this idea of Secretary
Davis are not to be calculated.
DtOHTON Eouk.?The providence Journal
copies the statement of the Fall River,
Star relative to the Dighton lioclc, recent^
purchased by Ole Lull, the violinist, and .
adds :
"Every now and then we hear some news
about the Dighton Rock and its unknown
inscription. That any parchment has
been discovered in Norway with a copy of
the Dighton inscription on it, is all nonsense
; nor has it been pretty corrcctly ascertained
that the inscription dates back as
far as the tenth century, and was made by
some emigrants from Norway." The Dan
ish antiquaries claimed fur it such an origin,
l>nt their claim was never established.!
On the other hand, Mr. Schoolcraft, who is !
Iiigli authority in all that relates to Indian i
I matters, attempts to show that the hiero- !
I glyphies on the High ton'Rook were pro-I
bably the work of llie Indians, and that
they had reference to their hunting scenes.
We believe that tho Northmen visited the
shoroft of New England in'the tenth century
and frequently afterwards. The evidence
of thin, however, does not rest upon
the Dighton Hock and its inscription, but
upon the ancient Historical Sages."

??? ^ ?ft*?The
Education of Farmers' Bona.
Wo were born on n farm. We wero a
farmers' son. The best lej*on of our Ufa
wero received on n farm.. We loYe thefbrm
arid all pertains to it. We regard it ns.not
second to any worldly pursuit, not second
to dignity, in importance and usefulness.'
Hence wo feel that we have a right tosPeak?
for fanner's sons. -
We say in the outset tliat all people should
be educated, especially in a country like
ours, where the people make the country,
the laws, the customs, the states of society,
i and do everything that pertains to poltical
government and social order; moat
especially should farmers'sons be educated.
The times demands it, tho country demahds
it. There are governmental abuses to befe^
formed, there are questions of principal and
political economy to settle. There are pro
uuc.mg interests to bo" represented in tho
legislative hulls. There arc real estate lAwa,"
boundary laws, that eft'jet almost wholly tho
lann.-ra and hi* family. Then there are the
great commcrical interests of ?bo country
and everything that relates to improvement
in travels and trade, all of which ^itallity
concern the farmer.-- There are tax laws,
the school laws, the laws directing the peace
and odor of society; there is the conduct
of the general, the State and country government.
How shall these things be rightly
attended to so as not to jeopardize tho
farmer's interests ?'
Professional politicians arc dangerous.

I ?i\i mw nub iiwu u nuuu ui Hungry jjojhicians
to gather around every oflico like eagles
around a carcass. We want the ^people
educated in all the great duties of Tire,'?
educated to be wise, judicious, calui, higliiniuded?educated
to love the country and
honor it with virtuous and diguified lives?
educated to believe as the first article ot'ibeir
creed," that rigliteousncssexalteth a nation"..
A people educated will bave a knowledge
ot' politics equal lo any emergency* Our
fathers were not professional politiCians/antl
I they framed a government wiser than the
worm ever saw. ruey Knew what ttiey
needed. If the people arc wisely edycatcd
they will know enough of politics.' We
want to raise our presidents, governors, .legislators,
judges, and' foreign ministers on
our farms. Wo want to qualify farmers'
sons for these posts of duty . Wo want at
j least to have the farmers completely rep*
I resented in every legislature in the countiy.'
j We want the,-whole governing power-madow
i up from the whole producing classes. % They
are the soul and body of tl^e country, and
fanners come in ? for a huge share of representaton.
We want speakers,.. writcre,c
editors, thinkers, actors, polished, high-souled
gentlemanly men from the heart of the farmers'family.
Shall ye have them? Say,
farmers. We cannot do well without them.
If every man was educated enough to agfc
a rt-sjiectaoic parj. hi Uuiigress, we slioyia
have llic wholo people lo choose froiiV,
could scud our bwsl, men there. .As jt l#,.
