Daughter OF God = the younger SAID,
Endure thy Fathers Christening bragely;
They who have stepped their souls in prayer
Can any anguish calmly bear"
She answered not and turned aside,
Though not reproaebfnlly nor sadly.
Daughter of God T the eldest cried,
" Sustain thy Fathers Christening gladly
They who have learned to pray Alright
From PANS dark we'll draw up delight"
Then spake she out ''Your words are fair

Feel not the workings OF his hand"

Business in financial circles for the
past week has ruled quiet and devoid of
animation. This morning there was lit
tie movement in the market and little
doing aside from the local checking and
depositing, which created some little
stir in banking circles, it being the first
of the month. The banks freely dis
count all unexceptionable paper offering
at SOLO p cent. p annum; on the
streets money is in demand at 2@3 U
cent. y month for short loans. Bro
kers are paying lll@lll3 for gold, with
few transactions. Exchange is in light
supply, with a light demand at the follow
ing rates: On New York and Eastern
points buying at par and selling at fc
premium; New Orleans, fc discount buy
ing and selling at par. We have no
change to report in the scrip and bond
market. Securities of every description
orc mil and nomiaallv unchanged.
