From1 the New York World.
Let us strip from Mr. Boutwell's Octo
ber statement of the public debt the de
ceptive and bewildering nimbus wbivb. he
"throws around it, in the-shape of additions
for accrued interest and deductions for
bonds issued to the Pacific railroads, and
compare it with thS last statement made
by Secretary McCulloch. on the Jst of
March. Here are the wo statements'
made up upon the easily understood plan
of Mr. McCulloch, giving the whole of the
principal of the debt :

That is all. The official statement of the
Secretary of the Treasury, by thirjeger
demaift of adding accrued interest on the
bonds he has lying in the Treasury, and
similar little games, figures up a nominal
decrease of the debt amounting to $G1,
332,070 since March 1st ; but the actual
decrease is only $1,SG6,3CG. If he.paidog
six millions of the delft; in any shape, his
claim that he had reduced it to tljat extent
would be a good one ; but he has only
juggled with it. He has changed the
shape of some of the items, and is elabor
ately carrying on the ridiculous farce of
making the Government pay interest to
itself upon what he pompously calls the
" sinking fund' and " other coin interest
bonds purchased There are one hun
dred and twenty-four millions of money
and sixty-four millions of bonds in the
Treasury, it is true ; but what of that?
Fifty-four millions of it are duenow fax;
accrued interest; ancPit is easy to im
agined case in which a sudden emergency
would require the expenditure of the
wnoie or tne balance. In such a case
where would the boasted) decrease of
sixty-four millions since March 1st be
tound : Most probably the whole of forty-
six millions ' held to wait the pleasure .f
congress would be thrown on the mar
ket, and the country would find itself
deeper in debt than it was a yiar ago.
When the debt begins to be actually paid
off. its reduction will have begun, and not

Work is the sweet of earth's sad lifef
Work is a hymn of praise,
That wings its flight o'er land and strife,
To the Ancient one of Days.
J. G. Worth.
There is true nogleness in work even
sacredness. A? man may be thoughtless
and careless, but if he works wUh activity
and energy there is hope for liim. Fori
the idle and slothful there i3 nothing but
dark despair. God created man to labor.
When lledaced our first parents in the
garden of Eden, they were to dress and
keep it. As they walked Qnong it3 beatr
tlfiil bowers and felt the gentle(Tireeze3
of heaven kissing their cheeks in the rcsy
morn, they went forth to their work re
joicing. Ever as they sought the shade of
some overhanging--ock, or stood forth in
the clear sunlight, moving in holy com
munioa. with God ancLdhe angels, were
their hands busy in tending this garden,
blest as it was by. purity- &Du love. But
there was a change in the
conditioriof
things when they were
expelled from
Eden. Briars and thorns sprang tyi and
work became an absolute necessity. By
the sweat of the brow were the swoet.3 of
life to be obtained. By the sweat of the
brow were the gelds to be cultivated.and
all kinds of labor was to be performed by
arduous toih By the sweat of the brain
were great achievements to be made in
the world's progress. As the wheel of
time has swept past and cerflfciries have
been buried in oblivion, the same law has
operated in the whole universe of God.
All nature obevs the law. Work. is in
unison ,vith nature. From the depths of
the mighty ocean up to the snow-capped
mountains, there is one universal song of
labor. The elements are at work ; burst
ing forth in flame and smoke and fiery
lava in one place in another workin.r
mighfy changes in the earthquake, or in
that gradual change which goes on cen
tury by centuryalmost unno.iced by man;
and the stars rolling on ia their orbitssing
the same song. By the sweat of the brow
have the steamship and the railroad been
built. By the sweat of the brain Kepler's
law's were discovered,andFranklin sent up
the kite thatpfirst kissed the lightning.
There is a sacredness in work. God has
implanted in the breast of every human
being the heaven born influence which
would lead them to labor truly and nobly.
Labor is life ; it-is a well-spring burst
ing forth in tho desert of life, transforming
the man into a living reality. Work is
like a mighty river flowing through man's
existence, draining the meadow of stag
nant pools and foul malaria, causing it to
bloom with the fairest flowers of earth.
Uast thou slipped away from the shores of
youth, that fairy land whichdhc enthusi
asm of youth creates, an drover which
bright images fit. and have not learned to
labor? Then have the hours glided by
without meaning to you. You have been
treading the path that leads to crime,
which finds its end inthe damn dungeon
or on the gallows. There is Ho sunlight
to gladden your hearts, no bright visions
of happiness stealing over your quiet mo-
ments lnd instilling Lope and J07. J he
idler has no golden hours ; his face is
never lit up with the rosy tint of health.
I think the most abject creature that moves
on this fair earth, is .the idler. His life is
a burden to himself and a disgrace to hu
manity. God never male you to be idle,
lie gave you powers of mind and body
to b ox,eicised brr the benefit of mankind.
You are not fulfilling heaven's high m:s
sionO YouQ.ro not standing forth in the
great battle of life liWi true man, witli
all your humanity upon you battling for
right, and opposing error and wrong with
giant strength if you are idle and inactive.
Oh : then awake asOnue out of sleep; cast
the dark shadows of indolence hVhirld von;
throw otf the
hackles of sloth and be a
man.
We lock abroad and see the world full
of evil; drunkenness, and profanity are
met with on every hand ; wrong and op
prcssio armed with the blood-dyed sword
of injustice, warring against right and
trutbyand all that is pure and holy
trampled upon by skepticism ; and we say
there is no room for the idler. . Work that
is true and noble has its summit in heaven.
All doubt mtist be overcome by work.
Are your minds sh?buded in gloom', and
are lowering clouds of doubt and error
preventing clear views of the brightness
and glory of Christ's humble followers?
Then work tx the mine of truth, dig deep
among it3 "treasures till y-ou find pearls.
Where wrong anff' oppression exists there
is work, icork. From the oppressed every
where comes up a loud call for. help.
Cans't thou then sit idly ddvn witlf" folded
hands and have no energy to be a worker
in the world's great struggle for right?
Is stupidity and ignorance around thee?
attack it-Oit is thy worst enemy. With all
thy energy press forward) against ignor
ance. Work while it is day. for the night
cometh andOhcu camit not work. But
the noblest work ever (discovered under
God's blue sky, is the work of rescuing
lost and wretched souls. To reach out a
helping hand to save the poor tempest
tossed marinepjQlriven about by adverse
winds, without a compass, without, a guid
ing star, is the mostublime of all work.
It is such work as the angels would re
joice to perform. AH can work here. The
storms re7er cease, the wild waves are
never still, and all around thee upon the
stormy sea of life are human souls sweep
ing on to the dark land of shadows; like
wandering planets they have been swept
from the path in which they were created
to move. What a noble andlilessed thing
it is to work for their safety to labor to
bring them into the bright path wUich
leads direct ti the gate of heaven. In
whatever sphere you vsork, work leso
lutely ; it is noble even if it be ever so
humble. Art thou sad and weary wijb
toil? Do you complaiUthat heaven is un
kind? Oh! sorrowing one borne down
bv cgre and toil, look up and rejoice. In
the sunlight of heaven law, eo the an
gels winging their flight around the throne.
Labor on, weary one. till the sad night of
toil is lost in the blissful rest of heaven.

On Christmas evening J-oseph II. Heid
hampf. a well known German citizen, was
poisoned. Since then he has been wo
nonced dead by physicians. The body
shows no signs of decomposition, and the
family refuse to have it buried. Yester
day a man and woman singularly attired,
sited the corpse with the announcement
that they would work a mirical by raising
the(l)';ul. They proceeded to nyjjve vari
manifestations, and handled ttie body
quite roughly, when tho rela'rtves of the
deceased gave the mirical-workers a se

There is no sound

mother
than the hoar
barking cough of aVhild at nght. indie

here is s
thing iu-dhe
which is fi n
swiul itself of such arbu"gh
htful. Those whopear it for
the first time often start up?uarined as if
a stranger had entered the room. But to
fire experienced mother or nuive, the
croupy cough excites other and far igore
painful apprehensions. IlQndicates the
onset of one of the most dangerous dis
eases of childhood She knows full well
that a relentless inflammation has laid its
hand upon the throat of 1- child, and
thatrnll the skflj of medic'1112 and her ten

fatal grasp.
O
Wht is crourPthatit should be so dan
gerous? Simply a slight inflammation of
the windpipe, just where the vocal-cords
arc Ufuwn across the larynx. At tit:
point, the air-passage is narrowed to a
mere slit, and through this sm(JI aperture

precisely what occurs i:i croup : The in

Croup is peculiarly a disease of early
childhood, rarely occurring alter (fr; n,c
of te;i years. In a hundred deaths by this
form of inflammation, it is estimatni that
13 will occur in the Jlrst vear of life. 2o

fourth. 11 in thfif'th. and 12.;
iiHh?nc-
ceedmg five years, while the remaining
fractiojj. 0,7, win represent the proportion
of deaths beyonddi-n years of age. Croup
is most frequent at thatseagon when there
are the greatest fluctuations of tempera
ture as early in the spring, and late in
the fall. It is more common among males
than females. It is very fatal because the
inflammation is so peculiarly stjuated :
ten-fold the inflammation that here de
stroys life would scarcely excite on appre
hension if located on the skin. It is often
limited to a surface of the size of the
thumb nail, but it happens to be located
at the very entrance otPthe breath of life
to the lungs.
There are two kinds of croup false and
true, or spasmodic and membranous. The
false or spasmodic is a harmless spasm of
the muscles of ihe larynx. cominlF)on sud
denly, and as suddenly disappearing. with
out fever or other disturbance of the sys
tem. CThe true is attended with fever .often
slight, and terminates with the-formation
of a membrane lining the cavity of the
larynx, or limiting itself to the vocal-cords
and the space between them.
The vital element, in the treatment of
croup is the confinement of the patient to
a uniform temperature of about summer
heat, or ranging from 72 to 7" Fahr.
The air should also be saturated with
moisture. The object sought by this
treatment is to medicate the respired air
with heat and moisture as to render it
soothing to the irritated membrane of the
air-passages, and thus relievo the conges
tion, when used early, or inflammation,
win a resorted to after this process has
been established? To be successful, this
treatment should be persevered un until
all Baiseness disappears, and not inter
mitted for an hour, night or day. The
greatest danger occurs at night, between
midnigbPand five o'clock in the morning,
when the external air is coldest, and the
fire is allowed to go down or out, and the
mother or nurse sleeps sound iy. ii tne
thermometer falls below 70", all the symp
toms immediately grow worse. To this
treatment should be added rubbing the
nec'Oi'id chest with camphorated oil, and
the application oL several folds of flannel
fo tho throat and ineck, and oiled silk to
theches. Occasional dosts of ipecac,
when the cough is dry, are ry useful.
This treatment, persistently followed, will
save the majority of cases of true croup.
