DO BANKS NEED WATCHING /:

There is certainly something the matter with
the Banks now-a-day. There is among them APP
parentlv, an epidemic which has proved fearfullv
fatal. The Cleveland Plain Dealer saws the fol-
lowing sOiiloquy is said to have taken place on
the side walk, in front of certain doubtful Bank
in that city. Time NIidnight-Bank- Watch muf-
fled in pilot cloth cOat-nOt recognizing him as
belonging to the regular night watch, thus accosts
him:
" Friend, in the grogram coat, with staff and
spear,
What is thy business, what thy duty hcre?"
BANK WATCH.
&C To watch the Bank"
NIGHT WATCH.
"To watch the Bank? WHY, tell me, pray,
Think you the Bank is like to run away ?''
BANK WATCH.
"No, no but rogues and thieves, those cursed
chaps,
Might break the doors and locks, and steal, per-
haps;
And am paid for staying here all night,
10 watch the Bank and keep the doors all tight"
NIGHT WATCH.
"Well, since thou'st paid forit, Waterman, guard
thy post,
And that no silver of the cash is lost;
And while I'D have thee faithful to thy trust,
And do thy duty-as know thou must
I'd think the money better far applied,
ThOu pas't paid for catching royues inside!''
Minnesota weekly times. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1854-1859, 1855-02-06

ITEMS FROM THoxPsoN's REroRrER.-The fail
