The London Time?, in an article treat ing of the recent marked revival of trade in the United States and the drain of gold from Europe that attend ed it, makes Borne very interesting as sertions about the future value of gold which are not without a bearing on the mooey question in this country. It uya: The annual gold production of the United StateB themBelves, about six mil lions sterling, should also be sufficient on the average for very considerable de mands. But making all allowances, the United States current requirements for bullion must henceforth at all times affect our money market greatly, eveh if they go no further than the absorp tion in America itself of its annual gold production. We must bo prepared then, in the next year or two, especially if Germany shuuld adhere to its gold standard, for much higher rates for money on tho average than those wffieh prevailed during the last period of good trade. The extraordinary demands for gold on German account were certainly very heavy ; but they came upon full markets, while the annual supply from the mines was greater by several mil lions a year than it is now, and neither Germany nor tho United States were then gold using countries. There may bo some compensation for all this strain upon gold in France being obliged to part with its Btock of that metal, under the influence of what remains of its bi metallic law; but we doubt if it would be prudent to rely upou France permit ting this, while the strain would bo ee riously increased, of course, by any special effort on the part of Franco to recover the stock of gold it has lost. Tho chances seem all to be, then, that gold mthe next few years will be in scarce supply for all the current demands upen it, and that money will conse- Wfly he dear in countries which use gold for their standard. Trade may be very good, of course, with dear money, h it was in ISO I and 1865; but the con- loons in its favor will not bo quite the fame as when money is cheap. He Got Even. The story of the man who’cured the persistent juvenile apple thief by watch- ng his best tree, and then quietly sta tioning a cast iron dog under it to keep him at his roost till daylight should discover the cheat, is an old one and has become common property. Tno se quel, however, is not so well known. That boy crawled down as the sun cliwed up, sneaked home, was duly spanked and sent to bed; but he did not sleep. He thirsted for vengeance, and he determined to have it. A few weeks afterward a neighbor's dog died, and he got the Bkin, which he carefully stuffed, filling up ita eyes with boxwood, a sub stance that shines in the dark. This he stowed away and waited. On the outskirts of the apple man’s farm was quite a forest, in whose depths lived an old eat, greedy and dangerous, as the farmer knew to his cost. In a convenient corner he kept a loaded gun, and his vigilance in the case of this wildcat was something eternal. One night he discovered a pair of flashing eyes up a tree, and with his gun and sundry reinforcetnencs in the shape of his hired help, he was soon carrying on a lively war. Although he fired a dozen times, and swore he hit the varmit every time, the creature never budged, did not even offer to spring, and though there was no doubt ho was dead, no body dared climb up and investigate the savage thing. So, until daylight they skirmished around that tree, and then finally discovered the securely fastened carcass of that stuffed dog, which no poking with poles had been able to dislodge; and far over the fence they heard a boyish yell, and saw a lively pair of heelR fading in the dis tance.

Their greetings are ueually, how ever, roost elaborate, and wurtby of that paradise of competitive examina tion, embodied unnaturalness, and ab solute rubserviency to the powers that be. Their set phrases and postures are rigorously prescribed by an Academy of Compliments, the exact number of speeches and obcsiances being calcu lated with the strictest accuracy. One gesture is as follows: Tha saluting per son clasps his hands together, holds them out, shakes them gently, bends forward, and says, “Chin, chin,” that is to say, “Please, please,” which is equiv alent to “Thank you,” and also to “Good-bye.” and iB used for both ave and vale. The national primness comes out in all this elaboration; tho nntionol humoleness also appears in the rules— observdd likewise in over-governed Ja pan and Siam. Koep the Body Erect- Au erect bodily attitude is of vastly more importance to health than people generally imagine. Crooked bodily po sitions, maintained for any length of time, are always injurious, whether in the sitting, standing or lying posture, whether sleeping or walking. To sit with the body leaning forward on the stomach, or to one side, with the heels elevated on a level with tho head, is noc only in bad taste, but exceedingly det rimental to health. It cramps the stomach, presses the vital organs, and in fact unbalances the whole muscular system. Many children become Blightly humpbacked, or severely round-shoul dered, bv sleeping with the head raised on a high pillow. When any person finds it easier to sit, or walk, or sleep in a crooked position than a straight one, such person may be sure his muscular system is badly deranged, aod the more careful he is to preserve a straight or upright position, and get back to nature again, the better. and mode of treatment and succeeds lu curing every external affection.

They wore very noncha lant and deliberate, stopping on the spot and cooking their supper. They were careful, however, not to interfere with the United States mails.
