A countryman brought home with
him from the city FIVE peaches, the
most beautiful that he eoald fnd
They were the first his children had
ever seen; therefore they wondered
aud rejoiced very greatly on account
Of the beautiful apples with rosy
cheeks and soft down. Then the
father divided them among his four
boys, and gave one to their mother.
At evening when the children
went into their bedroom, the father
asked: How did your beautiful ap-
Piles taste2

the youngest, "and threw the seed
away and then mother gave me half
of hers. OH itltasted SO sweet and

You did not act wisely, but naturrl-
ly, and 10 a childlike manner. There
is plenty of time yet for wisdom in
your life.
Then began the second SOD: III
picked up and cracked the stone
which my little brother threw away.
Inside there was q kernel as sweet as
a nut. But l sold my peach, and
received money enough for it to buy
a dozen when shall 60 to the city,"
Then the old man shook bis head
and said: "Wise truly, but very little
like q child and by no means natural.
May heaven preserve you from being
a niser."
"And then, Edmuud?" asked the
father. Frank and ingenious, Ed
muud answered: 81 took my peach
to George, our peighbors 500, who
is sick of the fever. He would not
accept it, SO put it down upon his
bed, aud came away
"Now~ said thsir father, "whc has
made the best use Of his peach?'
They all three cried out together,
brother E3nuud has done that
But Edmund was silent, and his
other euraced him willie tears

disastrous effects on country bank
ers, who have large deposits there.

Suspension Of the Solid House Of 'POo
Henry" CIeWs & Co.

About halfpast two o'clock it was
publicly ouoced that the Fourth
National Bank had refused to certify
the checks of Clews & Co., and every
BODY knew that it Was mere ques-
ton of a few minutes befnre the firm
would be added to the list CT so many
houses who have gore into suspeu
sion 10 another column will be
found the statement ofthe President
of the Fourth National Band with
reference to this matter.
Upon entering the Offices Of the
firm small knots of people were seen
talking IN subdued tones, and with
anxious faces, of the state of matters
In the back Office the CLERKS, With
pens behind their ears, would oeca =
siouslly look through the glass par
titions separating tie private from the
public Office at the unusual meeting 10
MIR. Clews' recpption-room. Many
beguiled the lime in waiting for the
appearance of Mr.. Clews by studying
the various oil paintings in the rooms,
not forgetting photograph Of the
London house Of Ciews, Htbicht 4
Co., in which Mr. CIews, of this city.
has tho controlling interest. The
other partner is a Mr. Taylor.
WHY THE FIRM SUSPENDED.
1t vas asCsrtained yesterday, on the
best authority, that the reacon Cfthe
suspension vas the non-payment in
cash, of s25O,000 By a well-kuown
institution, which, instead, paid ii
with q draft that can not be cashed
for some time yet. 1t was also re-
ported that the sum paid cut in
green backs over the counter of the
firm during Thursday, Friday, Sstlr-
day snd Mouday amounted to the
large sum of 81, 100000.

II said that the President had about
twenty thousan nd dollars on deposit in
Jay Cookies bank, but that on the
morning of the failure a tin box was
sent from the bank TO the White
House. Poor Andy johnson had
about sixty thousand dollars on deposit
in the First National Bank, but no tin
box was sent to him. This illustrates
the difference between a President IN
