We are enjoying, just now, the mos,

carpeted stairs, and whose lungs have been
strengthened by the inhalation of the at

and whose hills and vallies are carpeted
with the most delicate flowers and that

name, and its sons-a charactet. We have
so much of Ireland among US, that those
who 90 pleasure hunting suppose there is
no use going to see it at home but Ire
land in America, and Ireland at home, are
very different things Good, healthy po,

But did not sit down to write about Ire
land, and SO I'll drop the subject.
1 have just had put into my hand
statement of the Assets of the Bank of
Pennsylvania, which is as nice an expose
Of our commercial life as one need wish
for In fact, it takes one right round the
counter, and shows him all the machinery
by which some men manage to raise the
wind, and keep up show, both in their
business and their families, entirely un-
warranted by their income. In fact such
a statement almost rcconciles one to the
late ''crisis,' as it serves to show US at
whose mercy We are placed. Among
others who owe the Bank VIC find the name

Tie theme, just now is the wondSssfrt' :
religious excitement pcry9a; congregation
Of the city. ,EEyEaal EEyEaiail assemblies in Jayno's
%Staii, for religious exercises, while, in
several other public halls of the city, the
same scenes are traDspiring. There is 10
wild excitemeut-none of that unsubstan-
tial enthusiasm which We always dread in
revival, as likely to evaporate and cast
rcproach on religion but calm, settled,
and heartfelt conviction, and genial
warmth which communicates itself to every
one around. Shall We not hope that in
the seemingly God-abandoncd position Of
sections Of our land, and of our national
Legislators, Heaven has interposed in this
signal way to preserve us as nation, and
TO perpetuate those institutions which have
done SO much to spread civilization?
In regard to those coins of which you
seem to have "cords," it is not easy to
make out a list, but any silver dollars
from 1893 to 1910 | will remit for, also,
half dollars. The copper coins-ccnts
and half cents Of the Union from 1898 to

tinental coins ahoat over the country,
which are interesting to Numismatists, but
have no market value. l hold myself
ready 10 take them also at good prices, ,
provided they are in good order. And
