The Vines Of the ground and the rich melon

And the rock, and the tree, and the cottage en-

with broad leaves all greonness, and blossoms
Like that Which DER Ninneyeh5 prophet once
While he waited to know that his warning was
And Ionged for the stom-cloud, and listened IN
For the rush of the whirwnd and red fire

On the banks Of the Xenn the dark Spanish
Comes up with the ruit Of the tangled vine
And the creole of cuba laughs ont 20 behold
Through orange leaves shining the broad
Yet with deaTer d5si I from lis home in The
North,
on the ilelds Of his harvest the Yankee looks
forth,
Where crook -necks are coillng ami ycllownuit
And the sun OF september melts down on the
vines.
All! on Thanksgiving day, when from East
and from West,
From North ana from South come the pilgrim
When the grey-halrcd New Highlander sees
round his board
Inc ulu broken INK OF aHectioh restored,
When the care wearied man seeks his mother
once more
And the worn matron smiles where the girl
smiled before
What mOistens the lip and what brlghtcns the
eye
What calls back the past like the rich pumpkin
pie?

When wood-grapes were purpling and brown

when wild, ugly faces we carved IN the skin,
Glaring out through the dark with Il candle

When we laughed round the corn heap, with
hearts all In tune,
our chair was pulnpkln-our lantern the

Telling tales OF the fairy who travelled like

Then thanks for the present !-none swcet-er

And the prayer, which my mouth is too fun to

And Thy life be as sweet, and Its last sunset

The Transportation Committee of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, in New York, on
Thursday; presided over by Senator Win
dom. Charles Cobb of Memphis made u
statement touching the transportation of
grain at New York. The present storage
capacity for grain at New York, he said,
was about 1900, 900 bushels about twice
as great as was ever required The storage
rates are not as excessive as has been al
legged. For wheat and corn the charge is
1 cents per bushel for the first ten days,
and | of cent for each subsequent ten
days. In Western cities the charge is 9
cents for the first twenty days, and . cents
for each ten days thereafter. Much infor-

overcharges is being elected. George O..

calculated to destroy the commercial pros

the Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, etc,
were mentioned as possessing superior adj
vantages, which he attributed to that cause.
Surplus earnings cannot be held as basis
for the increase of railroad. AS regards
Erie, he said spectators had run it ever
since it was opened. Several men have
made fortunes exceeding the actual cost of
the road. Manufacturers as far west as
Syracuse send goods to this city, and then
have them rcshipped to Chicago, back
through Syracuse, in order to enjoy the adj

The DefalcatIOn at Albany,

In regard to the defalcation of $780,
900 in the State Treasurer's department at
Albany, special dispatch from that city
says; Under an arrangement made by
the comptroller and treasurer the state de-
posts are divided between five or six
banks. A few days since the state treas
urer discovered that the cashier was max
ing larger deposits in one OF these banks
than il vas entitled to, and at one nstitu-
ted an examination of the accounts. but
without suspecting that any of the funds
of the state had been embeZzcd, the most
entire confidence being placed in the cash
Ter by every one, and the system of checks
in the comptroler's office being deemed
an absolute security against fraud. For
yeors it has been the custom for banks
to send to the comptroller's Office dupli-
cate of the treasurers bank book upon
the first day of each month.
THESE books passed through the
hands of the general book
keeper, Mr.. George Seeley. The banks
complaining of the labor involved and
Mr. Phelps giving assurance that ii WAS en-
tirely unnecessary. Mr.. Seeley dropped
the duplicate set without the knowledge of
either the comptroller or treasurer. This
lett but one set of books to be manipulated
The next step was TO induce the general
book keeper to accept in some instances
the statement of the cashier of the balance
IN some one OF the banks without producing
the bank books. This was successfully ac-
complished during the last month, and
thus MIR. Phelps escaped detection for
very short time. He charged large sum
to the Mechanics and Farmers bank.

PURIFYING THE ATMOSP HERE,

1Or days ana weeks, That terrible
scourge, the yellow fever, has been
sweeping over certain parts of the south,
actually devastating the plague stricken
country. Its centre seemed to be at
Shreveport, Louisiana, and Memphis, in
Tennessee, and from these points it
spread forth its fell wings, sweeping the
country with bosom of destruction.
The dead and dying were almost count
less, and, for time, it appeared as if the
dead would be compelled to bury its
dead. The residents, with sufficient
means at their command, fed from the
infection and sought safety in distant
parts of the land. Similar calamities
had visited these and other sections before,
nd with the same unvarying results.
Science and medical skill was powerless
10 stay its progress, and the only hope of
the people was in more than human
power. A due regard to sanitary and
hygenic laws might have prevented its
approach, but these having been neglect
ed, in the first place, God alone could

only the working out of those natural
laws by which the world is governed.
In other parts of the country the seed

At hand. Upon the abundance and per
lection of the fruits of the soil. the
wealth of the country, in a measure, de-
pended. The larger and more perfect
the production, if did not exceed the de
mand, the greater would he the combined
wealth of the country and individual
profits. Crops enough had already been
gathered SO that there was no danger of
suffering or want, but if the autumnal
be added to the property and prospect
~ of the country. Yet, while these pro-
tlucers hoped for late frosts, the plague
stricken regions were devoutly imploring

frosts. What was the matter of dollars
and cents, the question of natural
wealth or individual profit, compared
with human life or the staying of the
pestilence ? The frost comes, the fever
abates, suffering ceases and life is spared.
Is not the frost which destroys the later
crops blessing in disguise-yea, an abso-
Lutte blessing?
Is it not the same with the late financial
panic, if, indeed, we can compare such low
groveling pursuits as stock gambling and
monetary speculation, with human life and
the tilling of the soil. We care not to in
quire why the panic occurred at this parti-
cular time, or whether it might have beon
postponed, or altogether avoided 1t broke

clap of thunder from clear sky in mid
summer, and with something Of the same
effect. We have all experienced the de-
pressing effects Of continued hot days and
fever laden atmosphere, and know how
that single clap of thunder-we use the
expression in its ordinary significance
purified the atmosphere and given us re-
newed life and energy. Is it not so--or will
it not be so with this panic Suspensions,
failures, and, perhaps, suffering have fol-
lowed in its wake, but who can tell from
what it has saved us in the future. We
have been startled, day after day, with de-
falcations, embellishments and populations
in places where we least expected them,
and we know not how long they are to
continue. But for this panic, they might
have continued for years before discovery
was made. If we will examine the cir
cumstances connected with the discovery
of each and all of these crimes, it will be
seen that this monetary difficulty has led
to their discovery. The defalcation-as ii
is mildly called--in the New York state
treasurers Office, clearly illustrates this.
BY an arrangement, in order to avoid par
TALLY, the surplus state funds were de
posted in the different Albany banks, in
proportion to their capital, but, in ordinary
times, difference of few thousand dol
lars from the proper proportion would have
made no difference. With the want of
| currency, came the necessity of equalizing
the deposits, and hence the discovery. The
wedding out of bad men from places of re-
sponsibility and trust; the discovery of
defalcations and, thereby, preventing fur
Their populations by the same men; the
showing up of merely speculative schemes
in their true light; the disappearance of
fancy and fraudulent stocks; and other 81
mlar benefits to the whole people are
worth more to the country at large than
could be repaid by twice the amount of
individual loss. The frost may have des-
troycd crops but it saved life, and SO the
panic caused individual loss but it has puri-
fed the financial atmosphere.
