ADVANTAGES OF CEYING.-A French
physician is ont in y long dissertation on
the advantages Of crying and groaning IN
general and especially during surgical
operations. He contends that grooming
and crying are two grand operations by
which Nature alllys anguish; that those
patients who give way TO their natural
feelings more speedily recover from ac-
cdents and operations than those who
suppose it unworthy man to betray such
symptoms of cowarlicc as either To groan

In accordance with the above. the cry

THE SHEPHERD AND THE LAMB.
By DAVID RARKER.

In the Scottish hills a. shepherd strolled,
On an eve With his ancient crook,
lie found lamb, that was chilled and Young,
Ry the side OF purling brook.
And thro fear that the lambmighi stricken aud die
From It's mothers side might roam,
He carried it up with a tender care,
To a fold in his highland home.
Mid the dreary nights, oer the crsggy peaks,
Through the winds and storms, and the cold,
The mother followed her captured lamb,
To the door Of the shepherds fold.
Once had a lamb By its mcther's side,
II was aItless, pure and mild;
Twas the dearest lamb in my own dear aock,--
oh, the pale little blue-ey ell child
But shepherd came when the sun grew low,
BY path that has hong been trcd.
And lie carried my lamb thro' the mists Of night
To His fold in the mount of God.
with fearful eye and bleeding heart
We must bear il and struggle on,
Aud climb that mount by the shepherds track,
To the fold where our lamb IL gone

Barring BROTHERS TAKE A HAND. .
In the leading Broad street brokerage
house we heard it asserted as fact that
the famous house of Barring Brothers, OF
London, telegraphed to Duncan, Sherman
Sc Co., that they had deposited in the Bank
of England ten millions in gold to their
credit. The reports were various as to
whether it was ten millions of dollars or
ten millions sterling. The name of Richard
Schell was quoted as an authority for the
rumor, and that on his credit the house of
Duncan, Sherman & Co., obtained ten
million dollars in gold from ub-Treasurer
Butterfeld, which was at once thrown on
the market with most disastrous effect to

KILLED, WOUNDED AND MISSING.
The Fifth Avenue Hotel was the scene
of the widest excitement Friday night.
The crowd there was immense, rivaling
even the throngs at the time of the Tam
many convention. To sum up the rumors
that prevailed, ifthey are to be trusted, the
following well known and heavy houses
have failed: Messrs. Belden 6 Co., Will
liam Heath 6 Co., Chase, Mcclure 6 Co.,
Dakin q Co., Ward & Co., Smith, Gould
s. Martin, Albert Speyer 6 Co., and host
of smaller firms. rep
Major Bush, of the Fifty-sixth Regiment
National Guard of the State of New York,
received a telegram ON Friday night from
Inspector General McQuade to hold him
self in readiness to proceed to Wall street
If necessary. The whole regiment remain
ed at their armory in Court street until the
order was countermanded. 1t is believed
that the suspension of the Fisk and Gould
party are mere ruses to gain time, and that
nearly all the faltering firms will on Mon
day be prepared to meet their liabilities.
OTHER STATEMENTS.
A later statement says that Smith, Gould,
Martin s. Co. have satisfied the prominent
bankers of their perfect soundness. They
have a surplus of over $3,000,00O.
Crugar III. Oakley, a prominent broker
on Exchange Place, who bought 100000

for his purchase without fiuching on
