No Thing BUT LEAVES.

No THING But LEAVES.
Nothing but leaves. The spirit grieves
Over a wasted life;
Sin committed while conscience slept,
Promises made and never kept;
Hatred, battles and strife
Nothing but leaves,
Nothing but leaves no gathering sheave
0flife's fair ripened grain;
Words; idle words, for earnest deeds;
We SOW our seeds-lo tares and weeds
We reap for toll aud pain
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves; memory weaves
No veil to screen the past;
As we retrace our weary way,
Counting each lost and misspeut day,
We sadly find at last
Nothing but leaves.
And shall we meet our Father so,
Bearing our withered leaves
The Saviour looks for perfect fruit
We stand before Him, hunlbled, mute,
Writing the words He breathes-
Nothing but leaves.

GIVING THE DEVIL ms DUE.

GIVING THE DEVIL HIS DUE.
Said tipsy John to his railing wife
As staggering home at night,
0ercome by the might of beer and gin
He came in a woful plight;
Don't be so hard in your charges, love,
[ M little to blame tbs true,
But give the devil bis due, my love,
O, give the devil his due.
His help mate gazed on his waveriDg form,
As vainly he essayed
To retain his seat in treacherous chair,
And readily answer made:
TO give the devil his due. my love,
Is perfectly right, It's true;
But what would become of you. my love,

ny FRIEND.

Would's st thou be friend Of mine ?
Thou must be quick and bold
When the right is to be done
And the truth Is to be told
Open of eye and speech.
Open OF heart and hand,
Holding thine own but as in trust
For thy great brother. band
Patientaud stout to bear,
Yet bearing not forever;
Gentle to rule, aud slow to bind.
Like lightning % deliver
True to Thy fatherland,
Troe to thine own true love,
True to thine altar and toy creed,
And the good God above.
But with no bigot seorn
For faith sincere as thine,
Though less Of form attend the prayer,
Or more Of pomp the shrine.
Remembering him who spake
The word that cannot lie:
"Where two or three in my name meet,
There in the midst am /. J."
Do this aud thou shalt knit
Closely uiy heart TO thine;
Next the dear love of God above,
Such friend on earth be mine

THERE are some people always looking
out for sights. They cannot pay visit,
they cannot receive friend, they cannot
carry on the daily intercourse of the family,
without suspecting that some offence is
designed. They are as touchy as hair-trig
gers. If they meet an acquaintance in
the street who happens to be pre- occupied
with business, they attribute his abstraction
to some motive personal to themselves, and
take umbrage accordingly. They lay on
others the fault of their own irritability. A
fit of indigestion makes them see imperti-
nenee in everybody they come in contact
with. Innocent persons, who never dream
ed of giving offence, are astonished to find
some unfortunate word or some momentary
tacturnity mistaken for an insult.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

THURSDAY, Dec. 90 p. M.
Inc refusal OF Secretary Boutwell, to accept the
BIDS at the recent proposed sale OF government
treasure has checked the speculative tendencies OF
the gold market put limit to operations In the
precious metal. The clearances to-day at the Gold
BANK were only twenty five millions against fifty
millions yesterday. and the probability Is that to-
morrows statement Will show still greater reduc-
ton. The price 1uctuated between the compare
lively narrow limits OF 1921 and 1928, and was sub
Jected rather to internal than external influences
Thus the highest price, 1924, was made when the
carrying rate for gold, which had begun to
deter many holders If not frghten them
into selling, moderated from l16 and 3-6a % seven
per cent while q few late borrowers were content
TO carry balances for six and three per cent This
alteration IN the carrying rate was due IN great
measure TO the Simultaneous relaxation Of the gen.
era money market but 1t also indicates that q
bearish feeling was engendered as the day wore on,
and as the impression became general that the gov
eminent would sell tomorrow IN any event and
might perhaps accept bids for even larger amount
than the one million advertised. The only reason
assigned for the extra sale Is the conjectured desire
of Mr.. Boutwell, to Offset the withdrawal of
Tuesday but 1t should be remembered that his
retirement OF that million has been positive and that
as the proposed sale Was portion OF the November
programme Tuesday having been November 30) he
Is under no obligation to make amends for 1t In his
December programme. However, the Gold Room
was uneasy as 10 what would be done, and the nuc-
tuations within the above limits were quite frequent
on a small volume of business. II Mr.. Boutwell, is
determined that the gold gamblers shall not specu-
late upon his acts he Is meeting with gratifying
cess for with few more such co,tps detat as
those OF selling the four millions last Sep
TENDER and holding the million day before yesterday
he will SO disappoint and disgust them that they
will turn to other fields OF operation. Whenever
the clearances OF the Gold Exchange Bank go above
q few millions daily the speculative spirit Is spread
ing. Mr.. Boutwell, claims to be practical man.
Here is simple index which he can at any time
inspect and employ to guide himself in his pro-
fessed determination TO keep the legitimate interests
Of the country from the hands OF the gold
gamblers. The range OF the market Is exhibited In
