ErOSPITAL for CONSUMPTION and

the heavy list of applicants for admission it has been found
necessary to fill up the extra beds at a much earlier period of
the year than usual, thereby increasing the number of beds

PLATED by the patent process of Messrs. Ellington and

The Price of Gold,

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris,
By advices fromllamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, About
2-10ths dearer in London than in Hamburg

The course of exchanv at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 172 per cent., and the premium on gold is
561 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit OM the
Importation of gold from the United States.

Business in the open money market continues
rather active, but as the available resources of ban-

the general charge for the best descriptions of com-
mercial bills. There has, however, been a better
feeling engendered among capitalists, owing to the
continued influx of gold into the bank, the small
withdrawals, and the satisfactory movement that
has lately taken place in the Indian exchanges,

FORTY YEARS IN AMERICA,
By THOMAS LOW NICHOLS, M.D.
"Few men in America have had wider or better opportu-
nities for observing the Life, Progress, and Disruption of a
Great Nation than Dr. Nichols has enjoyed for nearly half a
century. He has resided in twenty-three States, and is per-
sonally acquainted with the most influential men of all
parties. From an impartial stand-point he sees events
clearly, and in these volumes he gives the world the results
of 'Forty Years of American Life.' "

pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so ilable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

MR. CHARLES KENT'S NEW POEMS.
Just published,

DREAMLAND With other Poems,
By W. CHARLES KENT, Barrister-at-Law.

Fcap. Bvo., price Ss.
"Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned
feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no
small power to individuali,e. 'Pope and Twickenham' is a
cabinet picture. `Marianne' will commend itself to all
mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquain-
tance with baby wiles and mysteries. 'Fructidor ' shows
what Dutch fidelity of word-painting the author can master
when he tries. Ills fruit is as vivid and well characterised
as it Lance had painted it."—Athenaeum.

" Mr. Kent is truly poet and not egotist He is a master of
versification. 'Shelley at Marlow' is a painting oxqulsitely
delicate. The vision of Shelley is almost perfect. DREAm-
LAND is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed
with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic
inspiration. 'The Dying: Bridegroom' is distinguished by a
genuine pathos, which leads us to believe that Mr. Kent
would succeed eminently in some story of the affections."

" TWENTY YEARS AGO."

Twenty years ago ! What changes around us,
what mutations of life and fortune, of public and
private affairs within our ken, do these few words
express. Dynasties have toppled down, new worlds
have been "called into existence" in the political
sense, old ones have altered their boundaries; not an
atlas of " twenty years ago" but is now full of
errors, from the ceaseless changes that time has
worked.

In our own circles, too, nay, in ourselves, how-
ever gradual and imperceptible the change, the
work of twenty years is as plainly seen and felt.
The baby of " twenty years ago" is now the ardent
young man, on the threshold of life's responsi-
bilities, eager to take his part in the battle ; the
youth has sobered down into the cares of manhood ;
the then upright and stalwart man feels the ap-
proaches of age ; and many, very many, an honoured
head, which twenty years ago was the object of love
and reverence, is now gone to its last resting-place,
leaving only the memory of good deeds " to sow the
world with life immortal."

We have been led to these reflections by the
sight of an " old familiar friend" in the shape of an
institution whose progress The Sun has for 20 years
past chronicled, and to which we have in these
columns often called our readers' attention. The
annual reports 'and balance sheets of the Provident
Clerks' Association for 1843 and 1863 lie before us,
and if we wanted further proof that " Tempora
mutantur et nos mutamur in dlis," we should find
it in these sheets.

The association " twenty years ago" was an '
infant institution only three years old, and looked
upon rather as an adjunct to the noble Benevolent
Fund established in connection with it, than as an
office destined to rank among the very best in Eug•
land. Its whole income was but £1,297, its accu-
mulated funds barely £2,390, its new annual
assurances amounted only to about £15,1100, and
it had not yet experienced what a recent writer
calls " the excitement of the first claim." But side
by side with the above modest figures we read the
secret, the germ of its future success. The whole an-
nual expense of the association was but £114175. Bd.
An unpaid board, a few friends who worked " for
love," and the assistance of the staff attached to the
Benevolent Fund, quietly and unostentatiously
laid
the foundations upon which the goodly edifice of
1863 has been raised.
By the present report we find that the new busi
fleas of the past 12 months comprises more than a
thousand policies, covering some two hundred and
fifteen thousand pounds, that the income of the
association very closely approaches sixty thousand
pounds, and its well and solidly invested funds ex-
ceed two hundred and twenty thousand pounds,

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
I7s. ioid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark
and the short exchange on Loudon is 13.4 per £1 sterling.
:standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
2-10ths dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 172 per cent., and the premium on gold is
561 per cent. At these rates there is a sm ill profit on the
importation of gold from the United States.

PRACTICAL WISDOM.

Is it carelessness or frivolity to live in the present, as we
all did, in those days? Is it not, in truth, the highest and
best philosophy to enjoy the passing light of each blue day,
a, if it never should return—to revel in the bright mornings,
which spring from Eternity, and return to Eternity at
night? Why should we scorn the little days, passing on
angel wings, and fix our thoughts on the regrets of the past,
or the perils of the Future ? Strange it should be so, but
so it is ; to most men there is no present—there is yesterday
and to-morrow, but seldom to-day. We are ever like the
passengers on the vessel's deck, bound to the far distant
land; some cluster in the bow, and strive with anxious vision
to pierce the purple clouds resting on the horizon ; others
gather near the stern, and gaze with fond lingering regrets
on the loved shore, sinking lower and lower as the ship
speeds on her trackless way; but rarely is the wanderer
found whose sense of enjoyment is satisfied with the fresh
breeze, the bright sea-foam, the greatness and wildness of
the waters he is traversing. Happy, in leed, are they who
allow each day to suffice for itself, and only anticipate the
future, when the anticipation relieves a present suffering.
Such, and such only, will bear with them into maturer
years the freshness and buoyancy of youth.
In the history of an artist of course the subject of
art is fittingly commemorated, ex gr. :

THE SMUGGLER CHIEF.
By GUSTAVE AIMARD.
"'The Smuggler Chief' is certainly the best novel which
Gustave A imard has written, There is the usual amount of
rapid incident, of exciting adventure, of magnificent descrip-
tion. But the plot is more ingenious, the characters more
varied and interesting."—Morning Post, Feb. 3.
