BY ALICE CAREY.

The boy who does a stroke aud stops
Will nc'cr great man be;
'Tis the aggregate Of single drops
That makes the sea the sea.
The mountain was not at it's birth
A mountain, SO to speak;
The little atoms Of sand and earth
Have made its peak peak.
Not all at once the morning streams
The gold above the gray;
'Tis thousand little yellow CLEANS
That makes the day the day.
Not from the snowdrifts May awakes
In purples, reds and green's;
Springs whole bright rctinuc it takes
TO make her queen of queens.
Swift heels may get the early shout,
But spite of all the din,
1t is the patient holding out
That makes the winner win.
Make this your motto, then, at start,
Twill help to smooth the way;
And steady up both hand and heart,

his hands upon. These were PATENT
FACTS, and the Annapolis Gazette,
published by Mr.. Green at that period,
warned the inhabitants Of the Mono

they We're environcd. John Hanson
transmitted to John Hancock full
account Of the particulars, and through

Maryland and Frederick county par

ordinary prominence in the capture
of Corvallis and the British Army,
a result which led to peace; and
caused Washington to resign his com
mission at Annapolis in l7S3. The
verdict of history is Of the highest
moment to free people, and while
full Justice has never yet been done to

Extra Geld Sale.

New YORK, September 1.-THE chief
event of the day was the sale of 1000. 900
extra gold by the Secretary of the Treasury.
making a total of 81, 600, 900 gold sales to dav
instead of S2,O00,00O. This action of the
secretary will enable the banks to get rid of
over 81, SOC, 900 of national bank notes. which
do not count in their legal reserve. and in
their place receive $4,000. 900 in gold, which
they do count in their legal reserve. The
banks, therefore, will be much strengthened
legally. 1t was reported that leading bears
in the stock market find the course of prices
tending 80 strongly upward that. in order
TO neutrallze the extra sales of gold by the
Treasury, they have determined to with
draw and look up large amount of legal
tenders tomorrow, in order to tighten fhe
money market, and, if possible. check the
ad vancing tendency of prices on the Stock
Exchange until they cover the large short
interest created during the last week. The
gold spectators are demoralized bv the ex-
ira sales OF gold to-day by the government,
while the foreign exchange market was re.
!ieved. and foreign bankers resumed their
legitimate trading in gold and railway
bonds. The markets closed in a better con-
altlon to day than they have been since
OF last week
