gave in bis or Der experience. AT.
ter time man 10 humble circum-
stances, small in stature, and effem.
mate, squeaking voice, rose to give
piece Of his experience, which W.
done in the following manner:
Brethren | have been a member
OF this church many years. have
sen hard times. My family have
been much afflicted, but have, for
the hrst time in my life, to see my
pastor or the trustees Of this church
cross the threshold of my door"
No sooner had DO uttered this par,
OF his experience than he was inter-
rup ed by one Of the trustees, an az
ed man who rose and said In a firm,
loud voice;
My dear brother you must put
the devil behind you"
On taking bis seat, the pastor in
charge arose and replied 10 the little
mar as follows.
my dear brother, you must re-
member that we sheperds are sem
10 hud the lost sheep of the house OF
Israel"
Whereupon the little man arose
again. and, in answer said ia very
loud tone:
Yes, and if I'd been fat one. you
would have found me long ago"

better be imagined than described

The Gold Premium and Movement-A
Hopeful Prospect.

Gold fell on Saturday lower than it has
been since the calamities of they war sent it
up to high premiun---that is lower than it
has been for nearly ten years. At the open
ing of the market the price was ITO. In the
course of the day it rose to 11Os. But with
all the fluctuations the tendency was down.
ward, and the closing price was 1OS5. This
fact is as remarkable as gratifying, for we had
only few days ago panic that threatened
widespread financial disarrangement, and as
a consequence, higher premium on gold.
We have said all along that there was no
cause for any general disturbance in the
market or business and that the trouble
would end with the breaking down Of few
rotten or speculative firms. Had the panic
occurred when imports were excessive and
exports diminished, when gold was going
out rapidly instead of coming in and when
there was little prospect Of a large demand
for the products of our soil, or inability to
supply that demand, the result would have
been different, There would have been
serious difficulties all round. Happily the
gold movement, the balance Of trade, and
the prospect Of great demand for our
crops which are abundant, proved most ia
vorablc just at the right time. Consequent
" we are not only saved from widespread
disaster, but the reaction has brought MS 10
the lowest gold premiuml referred to above.
Wall street spectators may attribute this
decline in gold to bear operations or combl-
nations, as they are in the habit of doing, ac.
cording to their narrow views OF financial
matters. but it is evident the causes are gen
eral and healthy and arise from the actual
and prospective condition of our commerce.
The export of specie since the 1st Of January
amounts to $40 ,O50,SG2. Last year for the
same period it was SIS, ,23O, ,63S, and for 1S-
II. SCI ,2O2, ,23S-that is nearly s17 900 900
less this year thap in 1872, and 100000
less than in 1871. Better still, gold has
been coming from Europe in large amounts
every day or so for weeks past Last week the
produce exports amounted to Sill $685.
and in 1871 to SITS, 24S ,249. The imports
of general merchandise were less this year
than last year. Besides all these favorable
signs of specie movement there is the prospect
of an enormous demand for grain, corn, hour
and other produce in excess of former years,
Why. then, should not gold decline? What
necessity is there to fear the consequences
of the late panic among the shaky banks
and railroad and stock speculation? Every
thing looks hops;ai and should the prospects
of trade be realized there is no reason why
cold should not continue to decline,
n. y. Herald.

payment of interest on deposits. This leads
country bankers, merchants, and others to
deposit in city banks, principally in New
York, to make this money earn something
during the period when they do not wish
to use it, Banks paying interest on deposits
cannot afford to hold the money idle, hence;
gambling in fancy stocks; millions of which,
as an investment, would not support fami-
y even in the most economical manner; the
building of railroads that are not wanted,
and which cannot for years pay running ex-
penses, &c. "Such gambling and specula-
ton" continued the President, "I trust, has
received q blow from which it will never re-
cover"
In conclusion, the President said that un-
less his mind should undergo a, change, he
would recommend post Office bank. This
would give us an institation, in which every
body would have great confidence, within
the reach of every one who can approach a
money.ordor post office.-He should recon-
mend the payment of four per cent. to de-
positors, and the conversion of deposits eth
er into outstanding United States bonds or
into new four and half per cent bonds,
and the taking up of corresponding amount
of those outstanding. ."-Richmond Dispatch.

never.setting sun, amid a scene of silent
desolaton, and frequently mutiled in dense
fog awfully Insignificant, alien and alone.
Suddenly they are "beset with ice" aud find
themselves contemplating IN aspect of nature,
"such as the painter might imagine, or the
poet, with his lying license, might invent,
or the Imagination of sleeper could fancy
in dreams of night" A great storm is blow
ing over the unfrozcn sea far away, but the
schooner, fastened to a bit of ice, whose two
projecting tongues keep off the pressure OF
the outer ice, which has closed them up with
in two hundred yards, lies in deep calm. A
boat is lowered, and the men sit in dead 81
lcnee in it, watching for the nar-whal, which
are blowing near, and throw up little jest Of
vap5r from the blow-holes on either side of
the head.
THE HARPooNER IS READY,
the tubs and the line ar prepared; but the
narwlal is difficult game; he goes at tremcn-
dous speed, and his range of vision is wide /;
so that when he is dragged on to tho ice,
with his spotted hide and polished horn, he
is trophy of the first class. Great hordes
of this curious mammal travel through the
Arctic seas, tusk to tusk and tail to tail, like
a regiment of cavalry thousands strong, and
their play in great ice-circled water-wastes is
wonderful to see. as their dappled sidescurve
close to the surface and the fitting swords
are thrust above the waves in their reckless
lunges; or they suddenly skim along the sur
face, curve their backs, and plunge headlong
down following the vagaries Of some chosen
leader. When the crew of the schooner had
killed their first narwhal, they made vast
fireplace out of his remains, the opening be-
tween the ribs serving the purpose of a CRATE,
packed in wood and oakum. and set fire to
the materials in order that the odorous
fumes might attract any bears that might be
in the neigh5orhood But neither narwhal
nor bear causes snch exc tement as the real
fright whale" the tremendous
GIANT OF THE SEAS,
with the likeness of mans head and face
in the roof of his mouth whose coming is
waitod for in specchless expectation, whose
capture is the hardest work that men can do,
whose value repaysfor all the labor and all
the risk, even men who have no eyes for the
beauty and no sense of the sumlimity of the
scene. They are sailing on silver sea, in
the wonderful arctic sunli ght, which is unlike
light in any other region in the still, intoxi-
eating air, which fills their veins with life
and thrills them with a strange happiness;
past iridescent caves rising out of the pure
water-they can see far back into them,
where the upper edges are festooned with a
dazzling ornament like network OF lace
composed Of fine gems the fringe CLEANS in
the prismatic light with every motion of the
waves, and the fary-halls with awful sound.
What marvellous, constant beauty and life
where man is only brief accident.
