The results OF the bank statement are considered in the

which we indicated yesterday, with large increase in
specie The reduction in loans involuntary arising
from the contraction OF business The actual amount of

reduction of loans is still surprising, as large

SrIMULANTs.-The Louisville journal saws =.
''There are times when the pulse lies low in the
bosom and beats slow in the veins; when the spirit
sleeps the sleep, apparently, that knows no waking
in its house of clay, and the window shutters are
closed, and the door hung with the invisible Grape
of melancholy; when We wish the golden sunshine
pitchy darkness and very willing to fancy clouds
where no clouds be- This is a state of sickness
when physic may be thrown to the dogs for we
will have none of it. What shall raise the sleen
ing Lazarus? What shall make the heart beat mn
sic again, and the pulses dance through it to all
the myriad thronged halls in our house of life p
What shall make the sun kiss the eastern hills
again for US, with all his own awaking gladness
and the night overflow with moonlight music,
love and howers2' Love itself is the great stimu-
lant-the most intoxicating of all-and performs
all these miracles; but it is miracle itself, and it is
not at the drug store, whatever they say. The
counterfeit is in the market but the winged god is
not a money changer, we assure you. Men have
tried many things-but still they ask for stimuants
The stimulantS use, but require the of more.
Men try to drown the floating dead of their own
souls in the wine cup, but the corpses will rise
We see their faces in the bubbles. The intoxica-
tion of drink sets the world whrling again, and
the pulses playing widest music, and the thoughts
galioping-but the fast clock runs down sooner;
and the unnatural stimulation only leaves the house
1t nils with widest revelry more silent, sad,
more deserted, more dead. There is only one stimu-
liant that never fails, and never mtoxicates-Duty.
Duty puts blue sky over every man-up in his
heart may be-into which the skylark, Happiness,
always goes singing"
