FRENCH AND AMERICAN FINAN-
CES

There is something suggestive in
com psrison between the financial con-
dition OF France and the United States.
At the close Of the Franco-German
war the French people were compelled
10 pay to the Germans An indemnity
amounting to more than one thousand
million dollars in gold, or about half
as much as the present national debt
of the United States The government
was unstable and in confusion, a valua-
BILE tract Of country had been wrested
from French control, and manufac-
lures and agriculture and business Of all
descriptions were completely democrat
lied. Paper money was Issued
by the government, the requisite
gold was obtained and paid over to the
German conquerors, ard then the
French Statesmen and citizens address.
ed themselves to the task Of rebuilding
the national credit and repairing their
fallen fortunes. And now, after the
lapse OF only three years the, paper
money OF the Bank OF France is nearly
as good as gold, and its payment in
specie will probably begin within a
very few months from this time. Gold
has been accommodating in the vaults Of
the bank and the value Of the paper
has been steadily approaching, and the
resumption OF specie payments will
cause no jar or disturbance in tie
money market or in the values Of mer-
chandise.
In the United States. however, nine
wears after the close OF our war, our
finances are in q worse condition than
those of France and we are clsmoriug
for an increase of paper money and q
further postponemen: Of the day of its
redemption. AS compared with France
every advantage has been on the side Of
the United States, with the single ex-
ception Of foresight and financial KNOW
edge We have had stable, settled
government. Our national resources
have not been taxed like those o.
France. We have suffered no loss OF
territory. Neither our political nor our
commercial capital has been in posses
sion OF an enemy. We have no power-
full meuaclng neighbors compelling us
to support a great standing army in
time Of peace. We maintain 10000
soldiers; France 100000. We have not
been burdeued with an enormous, an
appalling idemaity to foreign con-
oueror. Yet France has solved bel
colossal problem under circumstance
of the utmost difficulty, whereas. after
a-period three times as long, We have
scarcely approached the solution Of
ours LavRasos SrERNB might remark
of finances as well as Of some other
matters, "Th.y do these things better
in France"

THE MISTLETOE IN AMERICA.

Under the mlstletue bough;"
Not i'm the far-away British Isles,
But here, in the West, IL is glimmering now
An exile from home ofthree thousand miles
And the leaves are as darkly fresh and green
And tie berries M crisply waxen-white,
As they show tonight, in so many a scene
In Old England's halls of light.
Quiet It hangs on the wall
Or pendant drOOps from the chandelier,
As il never n mischief or harm could tall
From its modest intrusion, there or here!
And yet, how many pulse it has fred
How many Il lip made nervously bold,
When youthful revel went on, untired,
In the Christmas days of old!
The lovers heart might be low,
And the love of his lady very high,
With no one her tnmost heart 10 know
Or the riddle to read of the naughty eye;
But, under the mistletoe fairly caught
What maiden coyness or pride could dare
To turn from the kisses, as sudden as thought
And ardent as waiting prayer?
"C'est Ia premiere pas Qtt coute!"
So they say in another far-away land;
And, one kiss given, more follow, as fruit,
AS the dulleSt can easily understand;
Ana then, of the end to come; who knows,
Save the village bells and he welcome priest
And the sister-maidens, with cheeks like the
Who assist at the bridal feast? rose,
Methinks, if the shamrock green
Is the leaf so dear to an Irish heart
To the mistletoe-berry's silver sheen [part;
Englands love has been growing no minor
And greenly its stin-set leaves have twineu
Round many IL tenderest bridal-nest,
Since that saddest of tales all hearts enshrined
In the lay of the " Old Oak Chest"
What matter if centuries long
Have hidden part of the myster'' deep
That lay i'll the Druid's re-echoing song,
When it glistened in Stonehenge'S mighty
heap?
For enough still remains to make sure the
truth
That itlsymboled the great Perennial Good,
And they saw from its joints springing End
less Youth
That the force of the Ages withstood.
Little sprig from the mother land!
Ii is cosy and pleasant to have you here,
When the festive and lonely waiting stand
ON the verge of their varying Christmas
cheer.
Though we cannot transplant your pride of
growth
Any more than the hawthorne wayward
and coy,
You can give us, still, the Old English troth
And a thought of Old English joy.
Ha! what? Do the leaves grow dim?
Do the white waXen berries witheT and fleet
Ere even the notes of the Christmas Hymn
Float o'er the hush of the silent street?
But even if so, may kind Heaven forfend
