THE PACIFIC
LOAN G yEUIRII'Y BANK.

'HNTHE FREQUENT applications made to
the undersigned by persons of moderate
means, to put out upon securities at interest,
sums too small to make it an object to the
borrOwar, have induced them to adopt plan
by which money can in any sum bring to the
possessor a rate of interest equal to that
claimed by larger Capitalists, and secured in
the most convenient and ample manner. 1t is
by the combination of large sums in one Loan
and secured by one security, SO that each de-
postor-no matter how small his amount
may receive the income to which his money is
/ entitled, and that. too, in such as will combine
in his possession both the evidence of money
loaned and the use of money deposited.
Money, in case or gold dust, will be received
on Deposit in sums of ten dollars and upwards,
for which certificates OF deposit will be issued,
bearing date the first or fifteenth of the month,
payable on demand, or at specified times, at
the option of the depositors. If payable on
demand, they will be without interest, unless
the money remain on deposit one month, in
which case they vii draw interest of one per
cent per month, but no interest for fractional
parts of a month. IF deposited for specified
times, certificates will be issued bearing one
and half per cent. per month interest for
such time. Interest will cease at maturity
SO that if depositors desire to continue their
deposites after their certifcatesfall due, thov
must be presented for payment and renewal :
otherwise interest ceases.

A gentleman who possessed an estate in the

OF q rambling disposition, went abroad. After
several years the father died. The younger son
destroyed the will and seized on the estate. lie
gave cut that his elder brother was dead, and
bribed witnesses to attest it. In the course Of
time the elder brother returned in miserable
circumstances The younger repulsed him with
scorn, saying he was an impostor and cheat
that his real brother was dead long ago, and he
could bring witnesses to prove it.
The real brother, having neither money nor
friends, was in a dismal situation. AT last he

THE PATRIOT.

( ID Wish fox Thee. -. BY FRANK EN-,
There 5 not a CLEAN of joy and mirth
On life's uncertain sea,
Nor pure hearts love, the bliss of earth,
-. That l d not wish for thee.
There s not a hope that brightly plays
Around thy happy heart
There S not a beam Of summer days
That should from thee depart.
There Is not a vision from above
That lights the soul with glee;
There s not a smile of peace and love
That should not beam for thee.
There s not a flower in beauty spread,
Or sparkling in the dew,
But should for thee its fragrance shed,
And sweetest blossoms too.
There q not a gem, nor golden plume,
Nor wreath, nor myrtle bough,
Thati d not have for !, to bloom
Immortal on thy brow.
. There Is not q star, or sunbeam bright,
That wake their own mild eyes,
But should emit a holier light,
And point to purer skies.
No priceless boons to mortals given,
Nor gems from mine and sea,
Nor angels purest joys in heaven,
That | d not wish for thee.
