ConnmbIaI Affection.

In . ncighbpriug town, not long ago,
lived Aunt Kcziah. an Industrious aud
thriving widow. She had not only kept
good her estate, but had increased it
much ia value, and she loved to refer
to it as ",hc little home that Daniel had
Left her"
One day the income man came
along aud carried off some of that little
hoaricd treasure and she wept as she
counted on, the bills on which her part
uer's fingers bad once rested; so sacred
II docs the heut cling to the memories
Of the departed.
4 few hours afterwards she was at
the table kncading bread, and evidently
thinking Of the lost one, when her niece
said:
"Aunty, now you're prosperous and
well to do, let's get some pretty tomb
stones for good uncle Daniel, you know
he has got none at his grave"
Aunt Keziah lifted up her doughy
hands and emphasized this touching ex-
preston:
Jane, if they rant anything of Dan
iei az the Judgment, hcy coa find him
witho,d a gv6ieboard, | tell you he'll
be there in time !" And nothing more

vaults Of the Bank of France.

OF the vast additions to the buildings
of the Bank Of France, now in progress,
and which will afford considerable space
to the administration and officers now
crowded together, the cellars are the
most important part, they being destined
to receive, like the old ones, the metal
lie reserve Of the establishments, amoun-
ting generally to several hundred mil
lions of francs. The walls Of these
vaults are Of stupendous thickness. On
descending the first steps leading to
their entrance, the first obstacle we find
is an iron door, locked with three keys,
one of which is in the hands of the Gov
ernor Of the Bank, the second is kept
by the cashier, and the third by the
censor; SO that this door cannot be OPEN
ed without the simultaneous consent of
these three funetionaries. We thus
gain access to first compartment, con-
tanning the funds for current use. The
safe kept here is 50 curiously construc-
ted that it you do not know the secret
of its construction the slightest touch
anywhere will set noisy alarm agoing,
loud enough 10 startle all the inmates Of
the establishment.
The next compartment is circular.
aud called lSerre; it cannot be entered
without the same ceremonial, and it is
fitted up with fre.proof shelves. 1t
contains all the important deeds, notes
and papers belonging to the bank, also
deposits of private persons. Here the
Duke Of Brunswick used to leave his
jewels previous to going on a journey.
Mademoiselle Mars used to send her
diamonds there; the Hngot dor was de-
posted in the same place, &c. After
the 'Serre came the vaults properly so
called, the entrance to which is closed
by an iron door secured by several COM
bination locks; il turns on central piv-
OTIS, like Italian doors. II gives access
to well-holc containing winding stair
case, admitting but one person at time,
aud leading to subterranean galleries
420 metres in length. These are filed
with iron casks containing lingots and
coin, and labelled according to their
contents; by way Of additional security,
the well-hole might be filed mp with
clay aud the vaults with water at min.
utc's notice If the safety Of the treasure
were mcnaccd in the slightest degree.

bed Your stables.

A horse will get tired standing and
treading on hard floor; so will COW,
a sheep, man. A soft bed feels easy
gives rest, And yet we neglect the
bedding ofour stables to great extent.
Injured limbs and other ailments, es-
peeially of the hoof are the result often
of neglect here, has been clearly
enough seen, if he gives the subject a
moments thought. Bed with tan-bark,
or shavings. The drier these materials
are the better Every day remove the
moistcned bedding and replace new
Such as a floor, well bedded, adds great
ly to the warmth of a stable, and thus
becomes fodder saver. The small holes
and creviccs in floor with good bed
ding upon them, will letlittlc or no cold

II goes for bonnets, coats and capes,

Shawls, ribbons, furs, furbelows,
And that's the way money goes.
How goes the money Sure,

II goes for wages, taxes, debts;
II goes for presents, goes for bets,
For paints, pomade and eau dc rose
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money 2---Now,
I've scarce begun TO mention how
II gcus for feathers, laccs, rings.
Toys, dolls and other baby's things,
Whips, whistles, candies, bcllsnnd bows,
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money Come,

II goes for schools and Sabbath chimes,
II goes for charity sometimes,
For missions and such things nS those,
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money There,

For public alrus and private sins,
For hollow shains and silly shows,
And that's the way the money goes.
