The LATE FAILUREs.-It would
manifestly be mistake Judgment to
conclude that the late failures reveal
any renewed weakness in the condition
of trade credit at large. At this season
of the year We always have a crop Of
failures; and the amount just now oc-
curing is little if any greater than or
dinarily happen at this period. 1t is a
gratifying fact that so few suspensions
have occurred among those doing a
strictly legitimate business; and YET
the exemption of this class is nothing
more than might have been expected;
for the panic weeded ont the really
weak firms, and business since, though
improbable, has been conducted with
unusual economy and with q strictly
careful regard TO the standing of buy
ers. 1t is surprising, indeed, that the
close scrutiny into credits which have
been enforced for the last twelve
months has not caused more suspen-
sions than have actually occurred:
and this fact confirms the impression
Off reiterated in these columns that. at
the outbreak of the panic, the mercan-
tile branch of business was in an emf
nently sound eOndition.-Ne,o York

Who was oliver Cromweni

Cromwell was an English soldier
who signed the death warrant of
Charles l., and seized the government
by force. He caused the death of 1000
persons in the Catholic church OF
Drogheds, and 300 in the Bull in Wex-
ford, with numerous other slaughters
elsewhere. He exterminsted numbers
of Irish women and children to the
West Indies. He con6scated numer-
Gus Irish estates and gave them to his
soldiers. He left 1900 persons 10 one
battle in Scotland, and then read the
1l7th psalm over their dead bodies
He died PA years ago in London, and
was buried in Westminster Abbey.
Inthree years his body, with those oftwo
ofhis bruta lcampanions, wereremoved,
and dragged about the streets OF Lon
don, after which their heads were taken
off and placed upon spikes in from, Of
one of the London bridges. This was
the end of Oliver Cromwell, accord

Thank God for this perfect day:
THIS hymn of Natures living Tyre;
This sounding praise, this grateful lay,
To him, creations glorious Sire.
One downy dome of blue the air;
A pomp of hues here wheims eye,
While swoons the mellow landscape there
l In dreamy films of violet dye. a
Along the level water come
Far sounds, the wheel across the bridge,
The sportsman s shot, the sawmili's hum,
The crows cav noafing from the ridge.
Upon the lulled lakes FURNISHED glass,
Athwart the forests creviced wall,
Over the mountains sheeny mass
Waivers faint. transparent pail.
The leaves that strew the forest floor;
Moves them in shudderings on the ground
Or twirls them in light edcffes DER.
The squirrel Kisses on the spray, -
Bows his gray back and whirls his brush;
Whistles the quail and screams the jay,
Scarce marring the delightful hush.
The little streamlet pours in meek,
Slight trickle through its summer ravine;
How different when its surges wreak
Their wrath and shake the frowning
scene. ua
A soft, warm air now bathes the cheek.
As III sweet Summer breathed again:
And now there comes a chilly streak
That tells of Winters coming reign.
How dazzling glows the landscape nigh,
A jewelry of variant huesi
While fainter, fainter to the eye,
Into soft gray the tints diffuse.
That old, brown harvester. the Year,
Gathers the fruits he sowed in toll;
Heaped at his side. behold the cheer
Tie russet, golden, rosy spoil.
The barn stands bursting with his wealth;
The farmyard rings with bounteous life;
He laughs his golly laugh of health
And shakes his pouch, with treasures rife.
The rich seeds I'LL his spacious bins;
The gems with which his toll is crowned:
Where stood the corn the spider spins
His silver DER the vacant ground.
As dies the day in sunsets gold, 4
As on songs current dies the swan;
So dies the year in Autumn's fold,
The brightest Natures pride puts on.
D beauteus month when life decays
May this heavenly quiet feel,
nd in these h1es be clad my days
As sdownwardslopes life's weary wheel.

AwRITER in the st. Paul Press tells
a new story of Horace Greeley. Horace
wrote a note to brother editor in New
York, whose writing was equally illeg-
ible with his own. The recipient OF
the note not being able to read it, sent
1t back by the same messenger to Mr.
Greeley for elucidation. Supposing
it TO be the answer to his own note,
Mr.. Greeley looked over it but like
wise was unable to read it. and said TO
the boy, Go take it back. Whstd does
the d-n fool meanY "Yes," said the
boy, that is just what he says"

proposition have tested this wild cof-
