4 PRACTICAL JoKE.-The Cincinnati

On the 1st of April, at evening, the
door bell of a Cincinnati merchant rang,
and on the step was found basket with
beautiful baby 10 it, and note signed
"Cora," addressed 10 the man of the
house. saying she was unable 10 support
it without his aid. aud as be was as nearly
related to il as she was, the babe was sent
TO him for good treatment aud education.
The appearance of the child and the cx-
planatory note, produced domestic scene
more easily conceived than described.
The husband fell on his knees, protesting
by all the saints that the child was not
his while the wife as earnestly protested
her full belief that il was his, and no.
body's but his In the midst Of these
mutual protestations the husbands eye
chanced to fall on the empty cradle of
his own baby in one corner of the room.
and the whole thing flashed TO him at
once-he was sold, thoroughly sold-and
declared at once that he would father the
child aud any other his wife might charge

How THE RADICAL BUREAU IN THE
SoUTH TREATS THE Poor WHITE PEo-
PLE.-To give the Northern people an
idea how their money is expended by the
Radical Bureau in the South, / will
give two examples that have come under
my knowledge. The first, poor Irish
woman named Bryan, widow with six
children, made her way through the
throng of negroes, who infest the soup
houses, to the agent, and informed him
that she was in starving condition )"
no bread nor fuel, and implored his char
ity in most humble manner. She was
asked when her husband died. "Last
year." "Did he remain here during the
rebellion ?" 'sHe did" ave can do MOTH
ing for you, then," and so cast her off for
her little ones to starve. This morning,
during a cold drizzling rain, poorly
clad but very respectable looking woman
called in my Office soliciting charity a
few cents for loaf of bread" A by
stander asked her why she did not ssapply
to the Bureau for relief" She stated
that she chad applied for charity" and
told them she was s'sick and in starving
condition" She received nothing, on
account of some formality as regards iur-
isdictlon. One Of the gentlemen pres
ent gave her the address Of DR.. Well rd,
a kind-heartcd physician of this city, who
would prescribe for sickness. Another
gentleman stated that few days ago be
saw the same woman present her hymn
book to merchant, and offered to take
twenty-five cents for it, although it had
cost her 81 so in gold. Let the people
of the North lock upon this picture, and see
for themselves poor, delicate white females
and children dying by inches with huns
ger and-selling their household goods,
as it were for morsel of food to sustain
life of misery and woe-whilst thousands
of hale, hearty negroes, who positively re-
fuse to leave the city to work on the
farms In the country, are clothed and
fattened by bureau, supported by the North
at the expense Of millions TO do the work
of reconstruction at the ballot.box on cleo
ton day. appeal to Northern men to
pause, consider, refect-before it is too
late. Believe not the falsehoods as put
forth in Republican addresses, but visit
the South yorrselves-see and believe

Tread lightly Whisper low
In sculptured beauty pale and calm she lies
Sleeping In Christ; While wo who loved her So
Smoothed back the brown cnrls from her brow oI

And rained wild kisses Ger tho silken fringes
Yelling the dark uufathomabe eyes,
With their sweet far-of look of Paradise.
The softost flush Of bloom just family tingcs
The marble check, and tender, smiling lips,
And on the polished brow, 80 calm and queenly-
The tender grace Of resignation sits
In meek rebukc Of grief that wounds so keenly
Tread lightly! Whisper low!
As she lies there asleep. with pure hands holding
The cross Of Faith 10 her siness breast,
We think OF the wondrous caims enfolding
That beautiful life in sanity rest,
For her heart was iowly,
Tender and holy
With faith sublime aud gracos rare,
Gentle and loving,
eerenely moving
In n hallowed circle Of silent prayer.
Then bring fragrant blossoms, stainless a. snow.
Scatter the rarest and sweetest that blow
Der the dreamless couch Of our beautiful one,
With n tenderly uttered orison.
Loving fingers rOse-wreaths twiuing,
With their sweets have crowned her;
Dewy jasmine blooms are shining
Like pale stars around her.
And the quivering. iambcnt glow
OF the tapers burning low,
Cleans DER her bridal robes peafly sheen,
Nestles each siiken fold between
Shimmers like gold on our daTiing's hair.
And fingers in rest, like halo, there.
Calm be thy sleep rs liIiies bend at even
Their dropping heads upon the breast Of night I;
And lift at morn their charms TO heaven,
Trembling with scented dew, and light
So thy pure soul, bathed in immortal splendor.

And near the Fathers heaFt-divinely tender
Mingle with angels songa onrapturcd breath.

With meek palms folded on her sanity breast.
And DER her tomb the sorroWing hearts that love

Everybody knows that the banking bus
mess, while apparently carried on at
very low profit, is immensely lucrative.
Though the laws generally restrict inter-
est on loans to a rate which does not ex-
ceed, in any State, ten or twelve per cent,
yet bankers make fortunes faster than any
other class Of business men for tho inter-
est which they received On discounts is
but an infinitely small portion of their
gains. Without going into details, the
fact that bankers make most Of their
porfts on other peoples money, is fact
and mystery Of the business.
This great end of the banking business
is better accomplished by means of the
national banking law than than by any
other mode that financial genius has ever
devised. The plan is a very clear one.
A man gets temporary possession of $780,
900 in grcenbacks; with this sum he
buys at the United States Treasury In
Washington 100000 in Government
bonds. He leaves tie bonds In the Treas
ury, as security for the currency which he
proposes TO issue. He is then supplied
with 800, 900 In national bank bills, ready
printed and as good as the greenbackg
with Which he purchased his bonds. He
now owns his bonds and has within S10,-
600 as much money as he had in the first
place. His bonds bear interest to the
amount of $4,000 in gold annually. He
loans his 100000 at a rate that nets him
probably fifteen per cent, or S13, 500 per
annum. The sums of $4,000 gold and
Sl3, 500 currency he actually makes on
the $4,000, which is all he has really in
vested. And the bonds are non taxable,
so that this enormous profit is not re-
duced by that expense which every other
business man pays. This is the national
banking system. 1t is the worst system
for the people and tho bost for tho eapi-
talist that human cunning ever invented
To sustain this system there is extract
ed from the labor of the country twenty
FIVE millions of dollars year. The ag-
gregate capital of these banks Is $780,
100000 and almost evey bank is a po-
litical as we'll as a financial institution.
Gen. Jackson and the American people
thought that the United States bank,
with a capital of s35, 900, 900, was pol
itico-fnancial oganization that was dam
gerous to the public liberty. And that
capital was taxed it was widely distrib-
uted it was under the watchful eye Of an
unfriendly power as rod it could be cas-
lily broken. But the national banking
system, with its untaxed consolidation
capital of $500, 600, 900 as depository Of
the public money controlling with des
potic energy all business enterprises Of
the country ; sustained by the taxes lev
led on labor, to which every interest is
tributary, with its mammoth proportions
and ambitious designs, is inconsistent
with democratic institutions, and We trust
the time for its abolition through the e
peal of the law by which it is authorized,
is net far distant.-,et Paul Pioneer,
