seeing them off, Nabby returns to the sitting
room with Jimmy and the baby, and sits down
to lull the little ones to sleep.
"Once could worship God weekly in the

ling in her arms. "Once sung in tho choir :;

Baby is once more at rest, and Nubby takes
the family Bible in her lap.

from the table on which he had just clambcred,

But she does not do it patiently, and the child,
soon tiring of o. the story that she reads to him
mechanically and unsimplihcd, throws himself
opOn the rug to play with his pet kitten. All
her prayertulness is gone; she turns the leaves
over carelessly. Her eye glances casually on
St Luke's description Of the Supper OF our

BOYS in Business.

The Ketchum failure has developed Wall
street mystery of the most astonishing charac-
ter. \ young man, named Van Loon, or rath-
cr boy, seventeen years old and no more
as he himself testified on OATH was the Geo.
in the firm of Graham & Co. On single day
last August, the l4th, starting with a balance
OF $40, 900, that firm deposited $G4S, $50 in the
Union Bank, and were yet broken before night
by the failure Of Ketchum & Co., Whose check
for $25L, 900 was part of their deposits. 1t
seems that Ketchum, a very young man"
and this young Van Loon, were on intimate
terms in business way, and in the habit of
borrowing each others checks for enormous
sums to keep up the bank balances. 1t was
testified on oath that this check for $3.50, 900
was mere accommodation check given by
Kctchum Il Co. to Graham & Co.-that is, to
Van Loon-tO keep his balances all right, al
though they drew checks beyond their depos
It's That sort OF business, which had become
so common on Wall street, of borrowing all
sorts OF amounts, from $4,000 to $500, 900, to
keep up balances, is u dangerous eXpcdient,
and very often breaks the most solvent and
prudent men, directly any sudden turn of the
times comes.
But the most remarkable thing about all
this, Is the sort of persons who are trusted to
the amount Of thousands and hundreds of thou
sands Boys not out of their teens, and men
who a year ago could not get credit where they
came from for a bundled dollars, borrow and
lend thousands and tens Of thousands daily
Many of these are not by any means of first
rate private character some arc notOriOusly
cxtravagant and bad. but they are trusted with
thousands Of stocks, for the purpose Of buying
and selling, or taking care Of and these are
made to count III great measure as cash de-
pD>its in their bankers hands; and so, when
they have spare cash on hand in heavy quanti-
ties, they oblige friend for a day or two, and
get the interest at the same time, fully believ-
ing he will not go down, at any rate before they
are repaid. In flush times like these, this
business seems pretty safe, but last day comes
to every lame dog and then somebody has to
suffer. And the moment slight stringency
comes in the market, all who have money
which they could lend in this way, draw back
and hoard not knowing who is safe And
thus it comes at the end, that the whole sy3-
tenn initiates weak men into doing a venture
some business i'll flush times, and just as they
get extended and begin to rely on this facility
Of borrowing, pinch comes, and it is certain
to ruin them, and sometimes creates general
panic.

GERMAN ESTIMATE OF AMER1cA.-A Berlir

GERMAN ESTIMATE or AMERICA.--A Berlin
CORES >pondent of the Boston Transcript writes a:
1t does All American good to hear men talk
about our country now. When | was here
four years ago, the ignorance about the United
States was scarcely more amazing than the su-
perciiiOus contempt with which this vain ma
ton looked down upon us. We were nothing
but race of braggarts; we had no science, no
art. no schol olarShlp, no power, no well-directed
energy nothing but chaotic mad passion for
wealth, and soil which, with even our wretch
ed management, would make us rich. But
now how changed! Now it is pleasant to
fold one arms and hear these people speak Of
America and the great scale on which every
thing Is done there.
The Germans do not push us behind the
English to-day. 1t has been one of the good
thing of the war that it has not only revealed
Us to ourselves, but to the world. One can
now go over Europe and say l am an Ameri-
can, with more pride than Roman could ever
boast OF his citizenship. We always had faith
in America, and now Europe has begun to do
50 too. They think that we are strange ma
tion, and that We have our own ways Of doing
things; they would not wonder at anything
VIII ch might be done by Americans singly or
collectively, as individuals or as a republic but
they think that we understand ourselves and
can 60 through without fear or favor. There
fore, man can lift up his head in Europe now
and thank God that he is an American.

There can be no reasonable doubt that the
future political relations of the South with the
Government and with the North will be on
truer broader, more reliable and more perma-
ncnt basis than ever before There are mutual
understandings being effected upon many points
that have been the cause of past differences,
and the South is slowly adjusting itself to the

THE CHURCH MILITANT.-The trouble al
Galcsburg III, between the people Of Grace
CEpi>copal) Church of that city and Bishop
Whitehouse, has assumed a new phase. 1t
will be recoected that the Bishop silenced DIR.
Cracraft, the rector, because he preached 4 10y
al sermon, the prelate availing himself OF some
ecclesiastical tecIncaliies to effect his object
4 short time ago the Bishop appointed the
Rev. Mr.. Chase, of Subilee College, rector,
and the vestry executed deed of trust of the
church to Judge Lawrence and William Phil
lips, Esq. An attempt was made, but too
late, TO eujpin the master in chancery from
executing the deed. The Whitehouse faction,
on falling in this, persuaded the senior warden,
who issued handbill, in which he claimed to
be the custodian of the church, and proclaimed
it locked up, to be opened, only to clergymen
in good and regular standing, who would com
ply with the canOns of the Protestant EpiscO-
pal Church, both general and diocesan. This
was aimed at Mr. Cracraft, who, notwithstand-
ing the Bishops order, has been temporarily
occupying the pulpit. AS soon as the forego-
ing bill was issued, the majority of the vestry
removed the lock of the door, and gave notice
that Mr.. Chase would nor be allowed to offci-
ate, threatening to eject him should he persist
in doing so. He concluded not to make the
attempts, and on Sunday week the usual scrvi-
ces took place as the majority ofthe vestry and
church wished to have them CiRcinn0ti Ga

Our Losses IN GENERALS From some
statistics made up at the War Department, of
war, ID appears that we had eight Major Gene
rails and seventeen Brigadier Generals killed
outright in battle, while two Major Generals
and nine Brigader Generals died of wounds
received in action, and seventeen Generals of
the two ranks died of disease In the year
1862 our losses of general officers in battle were
very heavy, numbering no less than fifteen,
while during the present year, or from the END
of 1854 TO the close of the war, we lost but one
General, though the fighting was great and
decisive. There is abundant material Tor re-
Election in the facts.
