FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

TUESDAY, Oct. 20-oP. n.
The gold market has been without any marked
speculative feature to-day, and fluctuations were
from 1914 at the opening 70 1854 with the closing
transactions prior to the adjournment OF the board
at three O'Clock at 1914, following which sales were
made at 49, and the latest quotation on the street
was 1867 1871. The borrowing demand was only
moderately active, and the tendency OF rates
was In favor OF the borrower. Loans were
made at $50, x, e-64, SIG, 3a2 1872 364 and Lie
per cent per diem in favor Of the lender OF the coin
and afterwards '.nat.n The gross clearings
amounted to Sill, $4,000, the gold balances to
1875 and the currency balances to $25s5, 400
The Sub Treasury disbursed $s5O5 In coin In pay
ment Of interest on the public debt and sold 100000

Speed of Birds.

We suppose it is not generally known
what speed birds can attain, when on
the wing; but some of them cleave the
air with almost incredible swiftness.-
Humboldt says the condor scars to an
elevation of twenty eight thousand feet,
from whence he would be able to over
look Great Britain, and then again in
a few minutes darts down to the level
of the sea. The albatross, quietly ia
cling the gale, bids defiance to the fury
OF the unshackled storm. The frigate-
bird, though frequently met with at the
distance of four hundred leagues, or
twelve hundred miles, at sea, is said to
return every night to his solitary land
roost. The carrier pigeon has been
known to travel in less than six hours
from London to Liege, in Belgium
Teal ducks have been shot BY sportsmeu
IN the waters of Canada, with rice from
the fields of the Gulf States still undi-
gested in their crops. To perform such
flights these birds have been gifted with
enormous spread of wing. Thus the
pinions of the albatross extend from
ten to thirteen feet, and those of the
frigate-bird and the condor measure
even more from tip to tip.
The tiny humming- bird, though gen.
orally averse to long migrations, darts
from flower to flower with such velocity
that the most attentive observer is un-
able to distinguish the rapid vibrations
of its wings which seem to be in state
of rest.
Two hundred miles per hour would
appear to be beyond the power of any
bid to compass; yet there is every rea-
son to believe that the frigate- bird can
sustain this tremendous rate of speed
| for hours at time.

Our Onu,
When Wives Fade.

Women do not lose spirit upon the
first intimation of cooling fervor on the
part of those who hold their destinies.
So long as the wife believes in the good
faith and sincerity Of her husband she
believes in her own power, by increased
watchfulness in love and duty, to restore
in him that ardor which her ignorance
or folly has tempted; and SO long as
hope lives the heart does not break
But it is when she herself has lost con-
fdence in him as truthful, generous,
tender and noble, considerate of her
feelings and loyal to her interests
when she no longer reverences him as
her friend and protector, but regards
him merely as her provider, possibly
her enemy, asserting the prerogatives
of husband and the place Of friend !;
when she holds even his caresses in con-
tempt, p efering rather his GOODNESS
than his kisses, liking his presence less
than his plaoe-that the wife's life be-
gins to fade. She may not herself be
conscious that it is not his absence of
affection, but her own absence of faith,
which crushes her; but sounded to the
depths, the cause. of nine tenths of the
white, despairing faces we see among
wives would be found to be in the quiet
GOODNESS and distrust Of their own hearts.
Women want constancy with kindness,
and it is strange how the gravest phil
Qsophers are sometimes the most un-
reasonable idiots in love. Let those
husbands who consider wistfully the
blooming faces and Vivaoious habits of
unmarried ladies and other mems wives,
rueing the roses and smooth brows that
have withered in their own rude keep
ing, scrutinize themselves vigilantly.-
And let them secure cheerful compan-
ioas and happy homes by virtue Of max
ing their vows good, rather than by
looking to the chances of divorce, and
fresh marriage, which must be sin,
and can end in nothing but misery

INDIAN SUMMER.
BY W. H. c. HosMER,

BY W. H; c. HosMER,
a To-day wandering breeze
Over empurpled seas
Comes from the spicy Islands of the Blest;
Strange golden radiance falls
On moss-robed forest halls
In gorgeous robing of the rainbow drest,
The wizard, Autumn, waves
A wand that openeth graves,
And Summer, with her rosy nymphs, once
Ts- ~ more
Looks on the wide domain
That owned her queeuly reign
When earth the livery ofElysium wore.
Through soft transparent haze
CLEAN tenderest solar rays
Like orbs of beauty through bridal veil
Majestic woods breathe balm,
h And holy is the calm
That settles on the hillside and the dale.

Than our Hesperian coast
In the flushed pomp of its autumnal scenes.

Look on the landscape bright,
And bliss inhale from Heavens delicious air;

NOVEMBER.

The chill November wind is signing
Across the meadows bare, asa
And clouds of murky spray are flying
u Through all the dreary air;
And leaves of many colored hues ID +,
Descend with noiseless tread, t5e
Or rustic with wierd like7sound
On the branches overhead. g3ts
How silent is the woodland now! saf
No note of song is heard
From robin, wren, or iinnet gay, e1
Or joyous mocking bird;
But the CHEEKY voice of chanticleer,
Like some lone clarion shrill,
Rings through the dull monotony,
Afar Ger field and hill.
Across the barren stubble field,
The lowing cattle stalk,
Or move among the forest trees
Ger many an ancient walk;
The ploughman from his weary toll
Lifts oft his anxious eye,
And marks again the gathering clouds
That sweep along the sky
But darkness closes in the scene.
The hour is cold and gray,
The ploughman leaves the faliow groand
And homeward plods his way;
And at the rosy milkmaid's call
The eager cattle come,
And man and beast the comforts feel,
The blessings Of home.
