She picks up her reticule, fan, para

Her voice trembles as she presents
herself at the restaurant and tries to

the handle OF her parasOl at the door
of the old disused tool house. in vain
hopes that the baggage man will
come out and check her trunk. She

~ The Cincinnati Times says :
1t should he understood that the
soundest banks existing donot keep
money enough on hand to pay off its
depositors. If such were the case it
would not be a bank-it would be
merely safe for especial deposits. :
It's business is to lend money as fast
as it is deposited. reserving enough
only to meet the daily amount of
calls, which it soons reduces to a
very accurate average. When the
daily call happens. from any reason,
to be heavier than usual, it readily
supplies the deficiency by realizing
on its securities or drawing in other
banks. If. however, there comes a
time when depositors all want their
money, when the banks are all be-
sieged and one can render but little
assistance to the other. when securi-
ties cannet be realized on, or loans
called in without q sacrifice, and
when balances in other banks can
not be got hold of immediately then,
of course. the currency on hand is
not sufficient to meet the demand.

a Cow TiIlion.

/ Fred. Lander, q popular restau-
ranter in Erie, Pa, is the hero of the
following historical sketch. which is
embraced in these two items from
the Dispatch of that city.
Item No. l.:
Fred Lander found three COWS
yesterday afternoon. The property
can be had by calling upon him and
paying charges.
Item No. 2.
The local in yesterdays paper
about Fred Lander's finding three
cows, created little confusion with
one of the P. f. conductors, whom
we will call Brown. He got home
Friday morning very early and re-
tired. He had not been asleep but a
short time when his better half
awol1e him and told him their cow
had been gone since Wednesday
night. and could not be found. ''Yes,"
said he, and turned over IN bed for
another snooze. She shook him
again and told him the same story
over again, and said that there were
three cows advertised by Fred Ian.
der. Whereupen he got up and
looked at the Dispatch, and he ex-
claimed: ANY man that will shut
up a COW for two days before he ad-
vertises them, is too mean to live,
and is dirty, low" &c, you know the
rest. He ate his breakfast and call
ed for boiled shirt. and eussed Fred
Lander and the COW; then he swore
because there was SO much starch in
the shirt. especially the sleeves; then
lie cussed again and said Fred Lam
der would know him very we'll inside
of an hour. He would introduce
himself. Calling his boy to him and
said he wanted him to 60 along so as
to bring the cow home. His wife
then gave him $400 to pay the
charges. He started out on the
corner of Eleventh and Parade and
met his friend Smith, who asked him
what was the matter Brown said
that "any man who will shut up
COWS two days before he advertises
them is too mean,' &c. By this
time he was getting warm, and took
off his hat, mopped his face with his
coat sleeve. He finally got to Fred's,
after stopping three times more and
telling his friends the lingo about
"any man." &c. Fred was in and
the following conversation took
place:
%'Your name is Lander, / believe"
You can bet two to one on that"
"You advertise three cows that
you found"
Yes. sir, I found three cows
We'll" said Brown, ANY man
that would shut up COWS two days"
&C., &c.
Fred told him not to get excited,
but to come out and pick out his
property as they were feeding. Fred
took Brown out and showed him a
small piece of glass about two inches
with picture on it of three
COWS grazing. Browns under jaw
dropped, and his eyes were about
the size of two saucers. At length
he got his brt ath and said, "Sold."
His little boy commenced to laugh
he told him to shut up or he would
fix him; that he ought to be ashamed
to laugh when his father was talk
ing. he gave the boy forty cents to
buy a watermelon, and sent him
home with the balance of the $4.00.
then commesced to pay the charges.

The Best Remedy for Hard Times.

| Whenever q wave of financial en-
barrassment sweeps over a section Of
country, it behooyes every good
citizen and every Christian man to
strive to do what lie can to restore
confidence and to prevent disastrous
I failures. For failures bring in their
wake, broken hearts, crushed hopes
and ruined anticipations Of happiness
and prosperity - affections which
strike we know not where.
A main cause of excitement in
such cases, ia the fact that selfish
people sometimes take advantage OF
the situation to hoard their money in
their own possession. and to neglect
to pay their debts. putting in the
false plea of the tightness Of the
money market; and thereby avoiding
payment for the time Some such
men there will be in every commu-
nifty, and some of them will be pun
ished in a way that they little ex-
pect by the depredations of robbers.
But thinking men, who are rightly
disposed to their fellow-meu will
take pains to use means for the re-
lief Of the community generally, by
paying old debts and settling open
accounts due by them and to them.
If q man owes S. to each one of
fifty people, and fifty people each
owe him $5, he is in debt $3.50. and
has $3.50 owing TO him. II these
fifty people and those with whom
they deal. live in one community. il
is possible for one single FIVE dollar
bill to pay all these debts within a
weeks time. if they will pass it
rapidly from hand to hand. In other
words, a single FIVE dollar bill can be
made to pay, at this rate, $12,500 of
debts in a week s time.
If every man has five dollar bill
and says, when asked for payment:
Well, as money is tight, think /
will hold this for the present. Hard
times, you know. / can't pay now,"
every one unable to pay larger
debts.
If, on the contrary every one will
use the money he may hold in the
payment of all the debts he may owe
just as fast as he can learn the
amounts due by him, the stringency
of the money market will be relieved
soon. If he does not owe any debts,
let him use the money lie may have.
in purchasing lands or bonds or
mortgage or stock, or something he
can use on the farm or in bis bust

O,CLARENGE,s BARREL.

Mr.. O'Clarence bought two old
barrels for kindlings, Saturday. and
Sunday morning. when Mrs. O'clar.
ence- was at church, he went down
cellar to cut them up. As it was
necessary to smash in the slaves,
hefore doing anything else, he laid
the barrel on its side. and taking
up the Ak, gave it ringing blow
The AK Immediately bounded from
the barrel and few over Mr.. O'Clar-
ence's shoulder. nearly taking off
one ear. and rapping himself severe
" in the back. Mr.. OClarence was
astonished. He turned the barrel
over and looked at it. and then
rubbed his back and felt his ear
1t was quite evident that he must
use more caution if he would cut
open the barrei without cutting open
himself. The next blow was de-
livered with still greater force, and
with such success that the slaves
crumhled beneath it like so much
air, and Mr.. O'Clarence. who was
not quite sure but that the ak would
not bound again, and had actually
hraced himself in resistance to the
consequence of such result, failed
to recover himself in time. and went
down among the saves on his knees.
and with such momentum as to
nearly disjoint his neck. If Mr..
O'Clarence was astonished before.
he was nearly petrifed now. He
got uySon his feet and moved away
from the barrel, briskly rubbing his
neck but saying nothing. Then he
seated himself. on the cellar stairs,
and pulled up his pantaloon legs and
looked at his knees. which were
seriously skinned. After that he sat
on the stairs some ten minutes. and
looked at the demolished barrel. and
tried to recollect where in twenty,
hree years of ma ried life he had
seen anything quite so contrary and
unexpected as was that barrel
The clock up stairs striking twelve
aroused him. He jumped down

milk ran between the cracks of the

cement floor, and the jar came down
with force enough to smash it into
q myriad of pieces. and fill the air
with cherr es and splinters. The

stared at the wreck, and rubbed his
head and feared he was going to
lose his reason. And just then

But one woman succeeding in fair

She was a young woman, not par
ticularly pretty, perhaps, but in
teresting, and she had tears in her
eyes, and $50 in the bank. She
rushed frantically to one of the
Directors. and asked him if she
could not draw her money.

he, but can't help you to it just

"But must have it Immediately =

WHO CAN ExPLAIN.-The "creep-
ing of railroad rails has attracted
some attention, of late. and while we
do not attempt to explain it, we
offer a point on the fact that, on
lines running north and south. the
western rail -'creeps'' faster than
the eastern rail that is, this strange
movement of the rail toward the
south is more marked in one rail
than in the other on the same track.
Furthermore. it has been noticed
that on such line the eastern rail
wears out the fastest. Both of these
points, we think, can be explained
by the motion Of the earth as it turns
from the west towards the east.
Everything that hss free motion is
dragged after the whirling globe /;
every wind tjiat blows. and. every
tide that moves, feels the influence,
and our train going north or south is
pulled over toward the east. and
naturally presses the easterns rail
most heavily. The western rail, be-
ing relieved of it's share of weight,
I" creeps more freely and quickly I
It is also noticed that the wheels
that run on the eastern rail 'wear cut
the fastest, and we but think that
this earth motion is the true cause.
The nraetical side Of thisiss that the
eastern rail and wheels should sbe
