against Banks, and above all, the State
Bank Of Iowa.
-, He had nothing against it but Il ought
not to come here and ask for protection.
People, in all transactions,s are now reqni-
ring. Grcenbacks in payment of dues, and
the natural tendency of S,ate Bank notes
will be into the State County and School
Fund Treasures, If then financial crisis,
shall arise, the State bank may go down
ard our School Fund, the dearest treasure Of
the State, will all be in worthless currency.

1t is fair tradition one of old,
That, at the Gate Of Heaven, called Beautiful
The souls of those to whom we mnistered
On earth, shall greet as we enter in
With grateful records of those lowly deeds
OF Christian CHARITY, wherewith frail man
Proffsrs his humble loan unto his Lord.
May we not believe, since he hath said
That inasmu ch it was done to one
OF those his little ones twas done to himl
Oh, think if this be true, how many eyes
Whose weeping thou hast stied, shall glisten there
How many hearts whose burthen thou hast shared
And heavy feet whose steps were turned by thee,
Back to their homes elastic through the joy
Of new found hope, and sym athy, and love,
Shall welcome thee within the Gates of Bliss,
The Golden City of Jerusalem
