Financial

Money continues TO work easier, and
yesterday being the day on which notes due
the First and Fourth had to be met, there
was a very lively time in the banks. As
far as we can hear those notes were gener-
ally promptly met and the banks are I'M
usually flush with currency. Discounts
are made quite freely at the rate Of ten per
cent per anuum.
Exchange on New ! ok is quiet. The
banks are checking AZ par and are buying
al . discount. Sight cotton drafts on New
York are taken at J OF.
COLD has taken q sharp upward turn,
closing in New York at 1115. Early in
the day our brokers were paying 100, but
later advanced their rates TO 10. Silver is
bought at IO} for halves and quarters.

FLOWERS OF THE HEART.

| There are some flowers that bloom,
| Tended by angels even from their birth,
| Filling the world with beauty not of earth,
And heaven-born perfume.
Along Life's stony path,
To many tOiiing pilgrim. cheer they bring,
And Oftentmes in living glory spring
Beside the poor mans hearth
Fairest Of all the band
Even as the snowdrop lifts its fearless head,
In storm and wind, unmoved, unblemished),
Truths precious blossoms stand
The daisy's star is bright,
Ger vale and meadow sprinkled wide and fret
So to the Swallowed earth doth Charity
Bring soft, celestial light
Oh, cherish carefully
The tender bud OF Patience; 'tis flower
Beloved of GOdi in sorrows darkest hour
Twill rise TO comfort thee.
So, when all else hath gone
OF joy and hope, through winters icy gloom,
The Alpine violet puts forth its bloom,
Where sunbeam never shOne.
Strong Self-denial's stem
OfthOTns, clasp well, for, if not upon earth,
In paradise twill burst in roses forth,
Each present thorn gem.
These are the flowers that bloom,
Tended by angels even from their birth,
Filling pure hearts with beauty lot of earth,
And heaven-bOrn perfume.

WAITING.

Thou of the sunny head,
With lilies garlanded,
And bosom faire- than blown sea-fOrm;
o spring, in What waste desert dOst thou stay
Whilst leaves await thy presence TO unioiu!
The branches of the lime with frost are gray,
And all imprisoned is the CrOcus' gold.
Come, sN eet Enchantress, come!
Though in the sombre West,
Thy star hath lit his crest
Pale Phosphor, fronting full the witheredmoon;
Thy viOlets art sepultured in snow,
Thy daisies twinkle never in the sun,
Rude winds throughout the ruined forests
And silent is the doves melodOus moan;
EnchaiItress, hasten soon.
White ire the country ways,
And white ehe tangled maze.
Loved of the Oxlip and the creeping thyme;
Bare shakes the poplar on the sullen ridge,
Cold glOOms hespectral mill above the flood;
HOarse torrents stream beneath the iyied
And Iigftnings strike the darkness of the
wood;
Enchaitress, bless our cline.
No bloom of dewy morn,
No freshly blossOmed thorn,
Gladdens the impOrtunings of sad eyes:
The day wastes drearily, through cloud anu
Over the watered meadows and stark wales
The night comes down impetuOus and fleet,
And ships aId cities shiyer in the gales;
fair 1enchantreSS, rise.
Arise, and bring with thee
The rattle bud for the tree,
The healing sumhine for the trampled grass;
Loose tendrils for the bOughs which bless the
caves,
And shield the swallows in the rainy hours,
The pendent flames which the laburnum
heaves,
And faint scents for the wind-stirred lilac
flowers,
Enehaltress, breathe and pass.
Men knew, and kissed, of Old,
Thy garments glittering fold
Thy radiant footprint on the mead or waste:
Earth kindled at thine advent-altars burned,
And ringing cymbals babe the heatls be gay;
But now in su lless sOlitudes inurned,
Thou leav'st the world unto reluctant day.
o HASTE, Enchantress, haste!
The lark shall sing again,
Between the sun and rain,
The brown bee through the Powered pastures
roam,
There shall be music in the frozen woods
\ gurgling CarOl in the rushing brook,
An OdOr in the half-unbOsOmed bud,
And dancing foN-gloyes in each forest nook:
Then, come, Enchantress, come!

In discussing the currency question:
it is we'll enough to bear in mind that

OF the legislation in regard to it. What
