The Bank OF England-Its Workings
and Real Functions.

Few who read of the Bank of England
have any real idea of the vastness of the
operations of this greatest of the fnan-
cial institutions of the world. London
is sort of clearinghouse for all civil
lied nations, and around the Bank of
England the commercial world may be
said to revolve. The greatest amount of
deposits in the whole Of the New York
banks has rarely, if ever, exceeded
$3.50, 900, 900 those in this one London
bank have reached moro than half that
sum, or $50, 100000. The New York
banks loans have varied sometimes
100000 or SIC, 900 a week in
one week last May, during a panic, the
loans by the Bank of England rose over
$50, 900, 900, and reached 1856, 900, 900,
or more than half the highest sum ever
reached Dy the fifty-nine associated
banks Of New York. The greatness OF
the deposits is remarkable, especially as
the bank pays no interest on them, and
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1876-12-15

is surrounded by institutions that do.
Another not less remarkable fact is that
nearly 40 per cent. of these deposits-at
one time nearly Gtty million dollars
was placed in the bank by private bank
ers, despite the lack OF interest. ALI
these things show what is the real func-
tion of this vast establishment-security.
So desirable is safety that the owners Of
$3.50, 000, 900 prefer to keep it in the
banks vaults without interest, rather
than trust il elsewhere. The other func-
ton the bank has undertaken-to con-
IA oil the money market--it has failed to
achieve but the safety it gives to funds
has doubtless contributed much to lower
the rate OF interest in London. Great
care and pains are taken to secure this
safety. Every night twenty-five soldiers
of the regular army are detailed to guard
the bank ; and, for the directors and
managers, men of the highest character
are selected. The movement of its de-
posits is watched with eagerness, and it
has even been said that whenever they
fall below $3.50. 900, 900 money is pretty
sure to be scarce.-NeW York EcOnO-

Baby's stocking.
Hang up the baby's stocking.
Be sure you don't forget
Tire dear little dimpled darling,
She ne'er saw Christmas set;
But I've told her all about IL,
And she opened her big, blue eyes,
I'm sure she understands IL.
She looked 80 funny and wise.
Dear! what tiny stocking
II doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as baby's,
Away from the frost and cold.
But then for the babys Christmas,
IL would never do at al
Why, Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half so small.
I'll tell you what we can do
I've thought of the very best plan
I'll borrow a stocking Of grandma,
The longest that ever l can;
You'll hang il by mine, dear mother,
Right here, in the corner, 30,
And write q letter 10 Santa,
And fasten il on the toe.
Write. 4" This is the baby's stocking
That hangs in the corner, here;
You never have seen her, Santa,
For she only came this year:
But she's the blessedest darling!
And, Santa, before you go,
Just cram her stocking with goodies,
From the top clean down 10 the toe"

CHRISTMAS.

thhlSlhANs
" Here coiues old Father Christmas,
With sound OF fife and drums:
With mistletoe about his brows,
SO merrily he comesl
His arms are full of all good cheer,
His face with laughter glows,
He shines like any household flre
Amid the cruel SHOWS.
lie is the old folks Christmas;
He warns their hearts like wine,
He thaws their winter into spring.
And makes their faces shine.
Hurrah for Father Christmas
Ring all the merry bells
And bring the grandsires all around
To hear the tale he tells.
Here comes the Christmas Angel.
So gentle and so calm:
As softly as the falling flakes,
He comes with flute and psalm.
All in a cloud of glory,
AS once upon the plain
To shepherd boys in Jewry,
He brings good news again.
He il the young folks Christmas:
He makes their eyes grow bright
With words of hope aud tender thought,
And visions of delight.
Hail to the Christmas Angel
All peace on earth he brings:
He gathers all the youths aud maids
Beneath his shining wings.
" Here comes the little Christ-chsld,
All innocence and Joy,
And bearing gifts in either hand
For every girl and boy.
He tells the tender story
About the Holy Maid,
And Jesus in the manger
Before the oxen laid.
Like any little winter bird
He sings this sweetest song,
Till all the cherubs In the sky
To hear his carol throng.
He Ia the children's Christmas:
They come, without a call,
To gather round the gracious Child,
Who bringeth Joy to all.
:" But who shall bring their Christmas,
Who wrestle still with life?

lust across the street from Bushy's, vol
unteered the loan of one-quarter of one
of his pockets for the transportation of
Bushy's nick nacks. Miriam Endicott,
who lived next door to the unfortunate
boy, hearing of Bobby Smedley's gen.
crosby, forthwith devoted half of her
roomy pocket to Bushy's relief.
But it was when the children had gone
upstairs to the parlors where the Christ
mas-tree stood that Bushy's concern
attained its height.
"S'pose," he said to Barney William
son, remembering Barney's role as ad-
wiser, s'pose was to get great lot
of things-that ball and he pointed
to the spangled, radiant tree, with it's
wonderful blossoms and fruit" and
that top, and that drum, and that trum-
pet with whistle, and, oh them two
wrasling heather Chinee, and that whis-
tie, and that cannon, and that veloci-
pede, and that locomotive, and that
there wheelbarrow, and great lot more,
how could get them all home ?-'cause
1 amt got no pocket, you know"
"Well, I'll tell you," said the ready
Barney. "In pack all the other things
in your wheelbarrow, you know, and
roll 'em home for you"
Bushy did get the wheelbarrow, sure
enough, and soon had it loaded up.
You may well believe there was laugh
ing at Bushy's house when all the peck
cts were emptied, and all the boxes and
baskets. Such heaps of candy! such
piles of cake! such quantities of al
monds and raisins, notices, lady-ap-
pies, oranges, and other good things, as
were displayed! In Bushy's eagerness
he had actually struggled a chickens
wing and buttered biscuit into his
mothers keeping. There was enough,
as he said, ecstatically, for another party.
If he had gone to Katie's entertain
ment with pockets all over his chubby
little form, he could not have Jared so
we'll.
Mamma" said Bushy, gravely, as
he cracked an almond between his white
teeth, his black eyes, meanwhile, sweep
ing the table which held his collection
of sweets, "don't never PUT no pocket
in my party breaches. "-,T. Nicholas.
