seem TO have prospered wonderfully. For

be considered as a pretty far Evidence Of
prosperity; but the most extraordinary in

Gently come under our observation is that
OF the Bank OF North America, at Phila-
delphly, which has just made semi an.
nual dividend Of ten per cent. The cap-
tai Of this Bank, as we learn from one of
our exchanges, is one million of dollars.
on which il keeps out about three million
Of bills receivable. In other words, The
owners of the bank receive on their one

highest per centage the law allows TO indi-

banking, and it is one. as will be seen; Of
no mean account. Nor is this dividend of

"Loug since has the heart OF the whole

STEAM CAERIAGEs ON COMMON RoADs
-lti matter OF surprise that steam car
riages have not ere this been extensively
used on common roads. In England. about
S27 or 1928. several attempts were made
10 build such vehicles, and some ran regu:
gularlv between certain stations. For
some reason The attempt 10 introduce them
INTO general use was given up. and nothing
has been heard upon the subject until late
Iy. The project seems perfectly feasible,
and the obstacles in The way Of success arc
very apparent. With plank road and 4
steam carriage, speed approaching the
railroad standard might be easily obtained.

Ascenc from thy bosom, whera brillisSlly

Thy pelIucid stream, that IN noontide glows
Like bright gem that dazzes the eye,
Aud Ger thy bosom soft Zephyrs sigh.
There's the noble old poplar. that in cen.
lurles past
Safely shielded the red mans head from
the blast,
Firmly placed upon thy lone shore,
Proudly defving the lOnd tempes's roar,
More lofty than neighb'rng species OF trees,
Gracefully waves lis head IN the breeze.
The high pointed crsg bends silently now
Over Inv wave. the wild mounaln's brow
Abruptly ascpuJs; yp, s'li more sublime,
By its rugged ascent,thp sweet IVips iwIne
Around the tall oak and the lofty pine. too,
That softly sighs in The light ether blue.
And near thy verge, wherever we roam.
There's the vlne>clad bower, the wood

And gracefully pendant over thy stream.
Entwlnod with the jessamine, the wild

With the sweet little daisy that springs in
