THE HAPPY HOUR.

The busy day tx over,
The household work Is done,
The cares that fret the morning
Have faded with the sun;
And in the tender twilight
/ sit in happy rest,
With my little darling baby
Asleep upon my breast.
with lids whose silken fringeS
shut out the waning light;
A little hand, close folded,
Holds mammals fingers tight;
And in their soft, white wrappingS,
AT last I'm perfect rest,
Two dainty feet are cuddled
Like brides in nest.
All hopes and loves unworthy,
Depart at this sweet hour;
All true and noble longiags
Renew their holy power
For Christ, who In the Virgin
Our motherhood has blest,
Is near To eve.'y woman
With baby on her breast.

RIAANCE AND TRADE.

TIE BANKS reported dull times and
no news yesterday except that the
bIuks, all but the Safe national, have
form lily agreed TO abolish the custom OF
making contracts by the year for ex-
change. The eight banks signing the
agreement cay: 1--WE will enter into no
new contracts whatever for the buying
or selling Of exchange on New York or
other poiDts, for the year, or any other
specific period, at par or any other fixed
rate, but will govern ourselves ia all
case 3 by what we may deem the market
rate In each transaction. This is under
stood also to cover on remittsnces for
collections. Each signer agrees to rid
himself Of such exchange contracts as
are now la existence as rapidly as pos
sible, and certainly by the Fl 81 Of March
nSXt.n II ttes Of exchange remained at
par buying on New York, ceiling at I
premium; on New Orleans buying at
discount, selling at par. G Did was again
lower; it opened in New Iolk at 1884,
then advanced to ITO and l10s. Tie
New York Herald, Of Monday, Gays:
sc Did has shown declining tendency
the past week, the negotiation OF the Al
per cent. loan being the reputed cause
This, however, is nSt generally accepted
as good reason for n decline. The secre-
taIy of the treasury sold to the syndicate
lat Thursday $40. 000, 0O) of the A. per
cents, author Zed under the funding act
OF July IA, 1870. This intellig snce was
used, especially before its confirmation,
to sffest the price OF gold, bus it seems
to have been agreed since then that it
should have no disturbing effect in this
direction" Nothing was doing 30 this
market in stocks or scrips. Silver
quoted 5lsd yesterday ia London, which
as lower.
