BEAUTIFUL LEAVES.

FhdlnR oeneath our passing rect,
Strewn upon lawn and lane and street,
Beautiful leaves
Dyed with the hnes Of the sunset sky,
Falling in glory so silently,
Beautiful leaves
Never 10 freshen another spring,
Never to know what the summer may bring
Beautiful leaves
Withered beneath the frost and cold,
Soon 10 decay in the common mould,
Beautiful leavesl
So will the years that change your tint
Mark upon us their autnmnal print,
Beautiful leaves
SO shall we fall from the tree of time,
Fade as We fade in a wintry CLINE,
Beautiful leaves
But when the harvest of life is past,
And'w wake in eternal spring al last,
Beautiful leaves
May lie who paints your brilliant hue
Form Of our lives n chaplet new
OF beautiful leaves

have already, possibly under premonition
of coming events in their own sections,
withdrawn from the Treasury some eight
OF ten millions of their bonds and con-
tracted their circulation by that sum. And
the banks doing this were neither imitation
lists or repudiationists, but shrewd fnanciers,

believe that they viii either go lower or

nagacious operation Of capitalist when he
heard Of the result of the late elections for
Congressman in Ohio and Indiana. He
was large holder OF United States bonds.
These he quietly ordered his broker to sell
for gold. Being asked by the broker after
he had received his coin what had infu-
enced him TO pursue this course, his reply
was to the effect that if New York and
Pennsylvania should follow the lead of
those Western States that had just been
carried for initiation and Reputation, he
did not want to hold any Government Sc
cUrities. He intended to stand from IN

his bonds premium in gold.
