Foraner bank suspensions.

The iiAst general suspension Of specie
payments by banks, occurred in 1914, i'm
mediately alter the capture of the city o.
Washington by the British. The banks
of New York and all south and west sus-
pended, and did moi resume for three or
four years.
The general suspension il 1887. began
at New York, May 10th. and the next
day the banks Of Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltimore followed. The banks Of Gin
cinnati suspended on the 18th.
Ageneral resumption ofspeeie payments
was attempted IN 1880. bat a large pro,
portion of the banks did not succeed in the
operation, and a universal resumption was
not effected until l843 and 1874.
q The suspension in New York in 1887,
was preceded by q periojl Of unprecedented
commercial distress. Three hundred heavy
firms failed there that spring, with liabill-
ties estimated at s4o,0O0,o0o, and it was
said that 1000 men, dependent on their
daily labor for their support, were thrown
out Of employment. The pressure was
severe in other places; one hun
dred and sixty eight firms failed in Boston

Our HEARTHsroNE.-FIearth have in-
ner worlds Of their own. They exist un
seen. We may feel their pulse beat and
see the flush of their changes upon the
Iouterl wall, but TO the outward gaze, the
within is an unknown realm. The cur
rents which affect the mass, their ebb and
flow, but the Beating Of the food is I'M
heard. Though silent there, it is a world
of thought and activities. 1t has its Gains
and excitements. Ii has its day and night
its shadows and its sun beams--its labor
and its rest. Hopes buds bloomi in a day,
and die. Fierce and consuming fires are
there hidden. Aspirations chafe and shut
like teeth upon the bars which bind them
To inactivity. Disapp intments canker
deeply into the core, and great sorrows,
like perpetual clouds, pail the wasted
hopes, and drip with tears a years wear
lon. They drift into sunniest sky, and cast
heir shadows il the midst of JOY and
lmirth, when unexpected and unhiilen.-
There are days clark and dreary," and
gloomy when the damp vines cling to the
moullering wall" The winds are wailing
and sobbing- Aikthere are sodden mounds
ia tina, land, aroand which noiseless steps
are ever treading. 1t is full of voices
speaking to us in the busy street and in
the silent night. Terrible distinct, and
every whispering tone tremuious with
tears, they will be heard even amid the
steady surging of business affairs. And
there, too, in winter and summer, and
withered leaves too early fallen. are driven
in to rustic mournfully in the very path
ways of spring bloom. But cometh now
and then, the low rash of angel wings, and
the struggling soul lights up with the O.
pening day-break of tho eternal morning
beyond, and at times looks longingly for
the evening sunset, which shall hang its
cha curtains forever between the
years Of toll and the Sabbath Of endless
,rcst.
"THIs, TOO, SHALL Pass AwAY]-All
our readers probably remember the reply
Of the philosopher to the monarch. who
desired some sentence, easily remembered,
that would always alleviate the pressure
Iof calamity, and check the exhuberance of
prosperity. "This, too, shall pass away
was the chosen motto. We know of none
Iother so exactly adapted to the present
state of commercial affairs.
