Of the pleasures of hope much baa been said. Poet bave written of the benign Influence ol tbat bright spirit sent to cheer uisn in bl onward path ; ol that balm for alibis griefs, troubles, and woes. The power to hope is one of the great est blessings we enjoy. It comes to all classes of persons; to the poor In bl humble cot, as well as to tbe rich In bis Splendid abode, and Is alike a source ol pleasure to both the Ignorant and en lighted. Although disappointed hopes sometimes cast their shadows about us. yet, without hope much of tbe Joy of our lives would be gone, for nn n universally oucede that man is truly bcrelt Irom whom all hope Is gone and who walks through life's darkened .' path with only despair lor a companion. It is hope that gives us strength in times oi danger. The shipwrecked siilor, out on the broad ocean, with noth ing visible but the sky abjve aud waters ahout htm, may still hope that be will besuved, aud tbji Is certaiijljt a source ol strength to biin. - t Wiiat Is the soldlcr'f Incentive when, after long and continuous fighting, all things seem working to disadvantage, and be i almost discouraged? What is it that enable him to push lot ward with increased z al ? It is the hope tbat by greater exertion on his part bis efluru may be attended with success. A man lost upon the dessert, almost at the point ol death Irom hunger and thirst, uuder the burning sun, r.erve himself to one Jast effort upborne by Die uupo ui me. It Is hope that incites us to continued exertion In some one direction. It Is this that enables tbe scientist to pursue with unremitting labor bis search after some new and undiscovered truth. 1 bis bu been the Incentive through all tbe days nay years oi toil in this one direction the hope that hi efforts may be atteuded with success; that the truths lor which ho bu labored so long aud arduously may be established. Similar bave been the results In the case ot Inventors. Tbey have endund great sufferings in the pursuance ot their olijefct. Hope has been the "Beacon light and guidu" through all the weary years of toll. Alto' in every day life hope enables men to put forth energies and accomplish that which would be Impossible, unless men were tired with a purpose and hoped to reap a luture reward. The merchant to defend bis honor.to save bis commercial reputa tion, has labored day and night, ha denied blmsell recreation and rest as long u hope remained, but when inevitable ruin stared hlui in the Lee be could do more. Hope lent Imn strtnj-th. When hope was gone eBort was no longer posU W. t hat a dreary monotonous man h this life would be it not brightened and cheered by hope. It is this that smooths the ropd course of life, brings oy where all thing else do fall. It is the greatest blessing we enjoy, and without which we would mid littlo pleasure in the worlJ. Ilope holds the Christian's recompense bebore his eyes. Hope cheers the death bed, and hope takes away the sting of ddath an I the victory of the grave. " then still let hop' bright rainbow gleam A bore life's dar rneit way ; With promise ol happiness, Tofil I sorus futurs day. ii.i though the i nd be not stta'M't Uo earth, for which we's strivea ; Th Irultsjre of sach tiiutpome bops, We'U perfect Sod loheavin."

I KAMI'S. . Tramps are toot tourists who, being out of employment, go about Irom town to town begging acrumb here and there, and Invariably bumlns work. Some. people seem to hive a knack lor putting tne tramp to work lor bis food, while other Inexperienced person are so am old as to show Ills Majesty the breakfast taoie first. They have voracious nnne. tltes, and when shown the wood pile nsve pressing business on the other side ol the back fence. There are some lion. cat and really good tramps, but they are so lew ana wiue apart that we on not distinguish one from tbe other.

Cairo, tor fbfe past lew year!, has had ber share of tramps, and the policemen art trying to get rid ol some of them. Let us ad try to have at least an cnconraglng word lor these poor people. L. W. , THE SILVER BILL Tbe latest sensation Is tbe passage ol the silver bill over the president's veto. The silver question has been agitated In congress almost Irom the opening days ol tbe present session, and huppy, 1 think, fur tbe business Interests of our country, it has at lat been d finitely settled by the passage ot the act over the presiuem's veto. Judging from the votes It received from the representatives ot the western ai.d southern states, it is evidently popular in thoso sections the east alone opposing it, Tho bill, of course, met with some opposition In con gress, and this, together with the relusnl of the president to sign it, proves that it is not acceptable to all sections, but whether or not, under the clicutustances. the passage ot tbe bill la jest for ihe g neral Interests ol the entire country, a piob em, which wu are unable to solve it Is a robleui, which time only can solve. We cannot, however, but hate our doubts and lear as to lu results. W. W, SELF-I!ESIECT. One ol the strongest and most prevalent incentives to virtuous conduct Is the de sire ot the world's esteem.
