in the amount of specie on hand there has been an
increase of upwards of million Of dollars in the cir
culation. This is entirely out of all proportion. This
rate of increase for any length of time would produce
dangerous state of things among the commercial

much longer at the rate shown above, any relaxation
of public confidence would create considerable en-
barrassment not only with the bank, but with the
mercantile classes connected with it.

from my memory. -t. e b--fr 3D. nd -s5 f..,r a.5-f
As wandered among the moss grown graves and
broken stones, was suddenly arrested by observ-
ing little girl before me, whose actions. unpreciv-
ed by her, 4 was watching. She was kneeling
beside little mound of earth covered with grass
and flowers.
Shortly after had arrived there, she ceased the
occupation IN which she was engaged. and kneel :
ing beside the tomb with appraised eyes to heaven,
her fervent lips poured fourth in ardent prayers her
feelings and affections to her Heavenly Father.
Raising herself from he. position, saw her hank
garland of flowers upon the marble heaistor e..
wrought into the words-"My FAruER's CRAVE"
Those simple words, eloquent of feeling. so
full OF thought, could not but add fresh sanctity
