Safety of Bill-HOIdcrs.

tits the duty of the legislature when banks
which issue notes for circulation are established
to take great care to protect the bill holder from
loss. The perfection of legislation on this sub
ject is attained when this object is fully accom-.
plished We think we speak what will be cen.
ceded to be true by all intelligent minds, when
we say that not dollar has been lost by the
bill holders of the State Bank of Ohio, or Of the
Independent banks, since their organization.
1t is nanifestly out Of the question to regu-
late the relations between the Banks and their
depositors. That is business which every one
may arrange to suit himself. No man is obi.
ged to deposit in bank, and if it's done, it is
because the depositor regards the money safer
there than in his own possession. 1t can be
. Withdrawn at any moment. 1t is not necessary
to have charter TO receive deposits Every
one is left to make his own terms in this busi-
ness, or if these cannot be satisfactorily arrang-
ed, the money holder may retain it in his own
pocket. A moment fection will demonstrate
that this business has nothing 10 do with bank
ing, as prescribed and regulated by the chart
ers Of Banking Companies. Ha
The experience Of this and other cities, is
that loss to depositors is quite as likely to oc.
cur in private banks as it is in chartered insti

The Home Father.

The following Home Picture is from the
Mirror and Keystone" one of the best
Masonic Journals published in the United
States.
The Home Father is one whose coming
c,uses happy hearts to beat faster, aud
bright eyes to become brighter, and liule
feet to run pattering out to meet him, and
childish voices to shout his name. When
he enters his dwelling. sunbeam seems to
enter it, and his presence imparts a CLEAN
of happiness even to the sich chamber, and
soothes the bed of pain. The tavern, the
reading.room, or the club, have no attrac-
tions for him, because his family cannot ac-
company him. His heart is centered i'll
those dear ones VINO surround his hearth !;
and though no costly furniture adorns his
rooms, it matters not, he is rich His wealth
lies in the hearts he has made happy! His
little ones crowd around him, and recount
the wonders and events of the day and the
little haxen. haired, blue-eycd baby lays his
soft rosy cheek beside the rough bearded
face Of papa, and is not at all afraid How
patiently the strong man listens to all the
wonderful notings they have to tell him, and
smilesat the tricks of the roly.poly things
as they caper around him. And how proud
and grateful he is. that God has entrusted
the happiness of so many OF his creatures, to
his keeping! He carries his happiness in
his heart, and needs no bacchanalian songs,
and loud debates, operate music to stimu-
late him. To sach man, blest with wife
capable of fappreciating his worth, the mean
est hovel would become palace, and the
silver lining the darkest storm-cloud become
apparent. May the bright eyes that now
cheer him, beam around his path through
life, and his well spent days on earth be re-
warded by 3 glorious immortality
