A Christian life 'Tis not the being
in Gods love and living only in heaven.
as You imagine about me. This sublime
ptety is not my condition, nor Is it what
God requires from a poor weak creature,
hardly able to lift himself from earth.
Let US look up, all who feel anguish
OF life and the bitterness OF tears. See
the heavens are 50 near Us we only need
to lift our eyes to see them. Blessed be
God who has thus surrounded US with
hope and brought our happiness within
our view.
Thomas Kempis has one very true
saving GOTTEN the fire burns, but Its
fumes does not rise without smoke
This is certain; there does not arise in
us a single good thought or good inte0-
ton which is not soon mingled with s
little smoke, little human weakness.
But the good God blows upon it, and Il
all goes away.
One whom We miss changes the
world completely; no longer any charm,
no longer any happiness here, and then
we think Of heaven. Thus 1t is tina,
| affection leads to God. Let us bless him
for having ordered our griefs as means
| OF our salvation; this is making US like
Jesus Christ, who only entered heaven
| through suffering.
There are 8 thousand ways OF errin9
! a thousand occasions Of falling, Whi3h
should keep Us on our guard, for alas
we are so weak! A mere nothing sways
Us like 3 blade of grass. Poor human
heart always on one side or other; now
It's sadness, now joy, now the world,
now solitude; everything hiss its dan,
gers, and a Christian life is spent 10
alarms.

tary affairs reported last week. The
banks commenced the week with an
increase Of 81 millions in deposits and
legal tenders respectively, and but =
nominal increase in loans, notwith-
standing that during last week the ball
ance in the b-Treasury had been aug.
msnted nearly eight millions, and there
appears to be nothing In the condition
OF exchanges with the interior to
change this tendency toward ease.
There has been a decidedly more ac-
tive inquiry for money for the purpose
ofstOck speculation, and this has check
ed the tendency toward lower rates of
interest. Since the LIST instant, the pur-
chase OF gold from coupon holders has
also caused an increased demand for
loans.
The prevailing expectation is that
the market will for some time retain
Its present ease THE amount of pro-
duce coming from the interior is quite
limited, probably not sufficient toliqui-
date the Indebtedness incurred In the
New York markets, and until money
Is required for moving the wool crop, It
would seem that exchanges must con-
tinue TO ruleIn favor OF this city. ~
On demand loans the rate ranges at
-6a6 per-cent.-fer- tFansaotiona--u
