Ah well, 'tin h o with man: a constant war Of mind against the inevitable. Bright visions of the future, then the scone Will change- n retrospect unprofitable, Ending with that sad sigh, it might have been. Man is the child of ciucurustarfces; prone To indulge in phantasies of bruin: Anon, his castles in the air, have flown, And left him nothing but a conscious pain; Pluced iu whnteVr position, still he drinks The bitter dregs of disappointment keen; His darling project launched, behold it sinkh— No solace left, but that, it mifihl have been. The weary wanderer thro' this world of woo, Bereft of all thut makes existence dear, No loving heart to cherish, doomed to go y j Alone! Alas, it makes life's journey drear. But still, the true, the calm, reflective mind, From out tho desert will pluck something green; Beset with thorns, mayhap a flower 'twill llnd, And pay no heed to that which might have been. 4':*ll osit (lie M ilitis i. A firm of Boston bankers failed, with an indebtedness of $342,508, and assets of $32,535. Tho cred itors are clamorous to know what the suspendid firm did with £124, 000 of deposits they were known to receive. What sense is there in keeping up this agitation of the money question? It is all settled. The finances of the country nre on a firm basis and are managed by the best banking system the world ever saw. What do these depositors know about finance? They have no right to pry into the banking bus iness! All the banks want is to be let ulonef. The fact is these depos itors are a pack of communists, and want thjrae people wlio are smart in finance to divide their accumulations with them. They are a dangerous class! heretics! lunatics! socialists! nihilists! They’re—oh—call out the militia.— [Buckeye Vidette. The The Baptists expect to dedicate Hon. C. B.
