CHAPTER II.

Willie had hardly gone to
sleep, until he saw in his dream
bright robed lady approach
him. He thought he had been
to school, and was on his return
through an adjoining grove,and
had set down on the grass, near
large oak tree, to rest, for he
fit weary. Willie setting there
musing; the beautiful lady ap-
peared and took a seat beside
him, and seemed to say, " little
boy, | know you but you do not
know me; | am your sainted
mother who left her little Willie
years ago; | am now an angel
Of heaven, but | have not for
gotten my dear child. l know
that you have q hard time of it,
but it is for your good and you
must be obedient and good; win
the esteem of all, and in after
life, | will behold my son in the
prime Of manhood, honored and
useful. The blessed Saviour
will help you" Willie reached
out his hands to embrace the
beautiful form beside him, and
he awoke, to find his kind
hearted aunt kneeling beside
his bed and praying that the
Lord might protect and help
the only child of her departed
sister. Willie's heart was full,
and he reached out his arms,
put them around his dear aunt's
neck, kissed her and asked her
forgiveness for being naughty,
and promised to be such good
little boy.
"You are generally good,
Willie, and I believe God has a
work for you to do. You are
not so studious and kind-spirit-
ed for nothing, and | have just
for the Lord to send his
angels to keep you
and lead you in the good way"
Then Willie wept, ooh, dear,
ear auntiel your prayer is an
swered." The child then told
his dream, and when done, his
cheeks were wet with q flood of
tears from other eyes than his
own. That was a solemn bed
room that evening. 1t seemed
that sisters from two worlds had
met beside one little form, and
that heaven had touched the
earth near that memorable spot.
Once more the room is still,
and q heavy breathing might be
heard upon the pillow.

&
This I" crash " will, we think,
bring about the consummation
deyontly to be wished" which
shall put a stop to that system
by which a sharp parcel of
sharp men open office, put up
the imposing sign of "bankers,'
thus protesting to be lenders of
their own money, when, in fact,
tits N most cases only scheme
to get other peoples money, to
lend tor their own profit at 9th
p&ples expense. To take
the most striking example and
the one most highly spoken Of,
Fisk y Hatch These gentle
meAt.a .aie praised to- the skies
for selling forty millions Of
Central Pacific bonds, and mil
lions of Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad bonds, and not specu-
lating on their own account;
while the truth is, they did
speculate wholly on their own
account and for their own sole
profit, at the sole risk of their
depositors or lenders, to whom
they gave not one cent of secu-
rity. They were lucky enough
with the Central Pacific, and
mace much profit with their
customers money and at their
customers risk, but had there
been loss then, their custom
ers would have lost. The whole
banking system as carried on
by Fisk & Hatch and others, is
simply a game with their GUS
toners, in which the result is,
"heads, Fisk and Hatch win
tails, the customers lose."
When will people learn the
folly ofplacing their funds with
" bankers, "who promise /" inter-
ests on deposits but without
securities to depositors ? which
means in plain and truthful Ian
guage, lend us your money and
we will speculate with it,
lending to railroads and 9TH
ers on terms profitable to us, if
us we will pay you.
Now, if "Fisk & Hatch " in
stead Of putting up a sign of
bankers and asking loans with
out security, were to go to any
of their customers and psk a
loan, they would be required
and would expect to give secu-
rity, and would be glad also to
allow a larger interest. Why
should the sign banker, y
dispense with these precau-
ions? All these bankers, with
'ut a few exceptions, are simply
sharks doing business for their
'wn sole profit at the sole risk
If their silly customers.
Great sympathy is expressed
or Fisk & Hatch, but it is Who'll
y misplaced; sympathy is due
heir customers, who are embar-
assed or ruined by the refusal 1
# Fisk & Hatch to make the !
necessary sacrifice to pay their |
customers. If any Of the de- ;
'osltors with Fisk Il Hatch had
borrowed Of them, had "taken
leposite of them paying inter- !
ST." this firm would have re- '
.uired ample security; and if s
uch depositor and borrower |
hould fail to pay on the instant, |
le would not be allowed to sus- {
end, and have his securities |
,ept until they could be profta- q
ly sold; but Fisk 4 Hatch
would remorselessly sell if it t
hould beggar the customer and e
orrower. Now the rule |
hould work both ways. In /

IIalloo, halloo! calls Farmer 10,
A pleasant day Is breaking;
The sky is bright with morning light,
'fis time the boys are waking.
Eeigh-ho, heigh no; to FarmerJo,
Cry all the boys, Astounding;
All lup at work, none know to shirk,
Long ere the horn is sounding.
Morning and noon-how very soon
The day OF labor passes;
whether lis sow, or plow, or hoe,
Or haying 'mong the grasses.
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho! says Farmer 10,
Our days work is ended
Athomc to rest to say the best,
Before the sun descended.
Work well begun is one half done,
is an oft-repeated saying;
An early start Is no small part
OF any game we're playing.

Lawrence was elected by majority of 3Oj votes, and

The questions involved in this long contest have received
the consideration of many lawyers, and were at last
settled by proceedings brought under the direction OF
the General OF the State. At the town election

the Legislature abolished the Office Of Collector and Gre
ated that Of Receiver of Taxes section Ot the act

in Office should Ill the position for three years, though

granted an order ousting Crooks An appeal taken
and the case carried the General Term, which
frmed the order This decision left the town without
Collector OF any official authorized to rccelte tue taxes
which should have been long since collected. The Leg
