1t is a noteworthy fact that almost all
the fine shade trees which have for years
adorned the streets of Westfield, Mass,
have decayed and been removed, scarce
Iy a stately elm remaining which
has seen the growth and prosperity of
the town, and in which its citizens can
take pride. The premature decay is at
tributed by some to the tar of which the
sidewalks are made, and by others to
the waterand gas pipingamong the roots,

1t is not generally known; but the ed
itor of this journal once took music les
sons on a piano. He finds a melan-
chOly pleasure to this day in going to
the cemetery and sitting on the graves
of the family who lived next door and
thinking of their yivacity.

A gilt-edged and superfine young
man stepped into a barbers shop the
other day to get shaved. The knight OF
the razor eyed him quizzically for a
moment and then remarked: "You must
either take down that shirt collar, or
wait for shave till can borrow a
step-ladder.n

PLAY WITH THE CHILDREN When
we were all children at hOme," said a
friend, "nothing delighted us so much
as a rOmp with my father; the hour of
his homecoming was the happiest in
all the twenty-fOur. / often. think If all
parents would play with their children,
home discipline might entirely lose its
severe aspect and become law of love"
Children are not made good 10y the rod
of power. How many parents are will
ing to devote an hour or so to play with
the child or children? 1t knows moth
ing else. As a little kitten will stop
tapping its milk to play with the string
you draw across the floor, so will the
child leave almost everything for a
romp with its father or mother. In
these romps and during these moments
of recreation, the great lesson of love is
learned by the child. This close COM
panionship makes the bond between
parent and child, which results in the
future acceptance of advice and guild
ance. Perhaps you are naturally a dig
nified person and unaccustomed to play;
so when your infant first came to you
were you unaccustOmed to its care; but
you did not for that reason allow it to 90
uncared for. If you are harassed by
worldly anxieties, the recreation will
| benefit you as much as it benefits the
child, and your sleep will be the sounder
| for it. The experiment is worth trying.

THE OLD ADAM IN HIM.-"Mr. Will

office again anywhere. He goes into re-
tirement with stigma attached to his
character which nothing can ever efface
No verdict of court of impeachment
could effect any changein the circum-

by the first exposure, and his conduct
since then has been such as to highten
his infamy. The brazen effrontery of his
appearance in the Senate Chamber, and
the contemplate meanness with which
he sought through his counsel to put off
upon his wife the responsibility for his
crimes, have served to disgust the pub
lie more and more, until at the close of
his trial he can hardly be said to have
the sympathy or respect of anybody.

The Halifax Chronicle brings the details Of the
bold bank robbery which occurred in that city on
Tuesday, brief mention OF which came by tcle-
graph. Barnu.n's circus was announced to pa
Tale the streets Of the city, and the officers and
clerks of the Nova Scotin Bank, on hearing the
band, closed the bank for q few minutes and
went out to see the procession. Immediately
after the bank was closed d man rang the bell
at the entrance to tue messengers rooms. aud
on the messengers vile {A1rs. AuLcrson) ap-
pouring he said be had dropped 4 paper
down through the iron grating in the sidewalk,
and asked leave to go down and yet it. With
out waiting for IN answer lie entered and de-
sccndci to the cellar. Mrs. Anderson did not
consider this matter Of Importance, as the eel
lar was only used for storing fuel. and waited in
the entry till he returned. In few minutes
he came out, but little did Mrs Anderson sus-
pcct, or the clerks not out Of sight Of the bank,
that with him departed S17,0D. On entering
the cellar at the north end he quickly made his
way to the stairway leading to the ruoms above,
end thence to the bank room, where lie cleaned
off the desks Of both the paying and receiving
tcllcrs. Then he went through the Directors
room into the passage and out by the north
door, at which be passed Mrs. Anderson, who
supposed that he had found the paper he had
dropped through tho grating and came back
through the bank ronuc, she never suspecting
that the clerks we're absent. The police were

As we two slowly walked, that night
Silence fell on lls Us Of feari
/ was afraid to facc the light,
Lest you should see that loved you, dear.
You drew my arm against your heart,
So close could feel it beating near:
You were brave enough for q lovers part
You were SO sure that loved you, dear.
Then you murmnrcd . word or two
And tendeFly stopped your listening ear;
Fo. yon thought that all TINT yon had to do
Mug to hear me cay that loved you, dear.
But, though your face was so close to mine
That you touched my check With your chestnut
hair,
wouldn't my lips to yours resign;
And yet lored yon-l loved you, dear.
And all at once you were cold and pale,
Becausc you thought that did not care;
cried little behind my veil
Ent that was because loved you, dear.
And so you thought twas a drop OF rain
That splashed your hand? But 'twas tear;
For then you said you d never again
ASH NE 10 say that loved you, dear.
Well, l will tcl!-if you'll listen row:
l thought OF the words that you said last year;
How We girls weren't coy enough, and how
There were hall a-dozen that loved yor, dear.
And was afraid that you held nc light,
And sn imp 1t my shoulder said. s'yewa1el
He Just in i wooiag mood tonight, -
So woulan t say that loved you, dear.
Not though thought you the man Of men,
Cliefest Of heroes, brave and rare;
Not though never shall love again
ANY man Us loved sou, dear
have suffered, and go have you;
and to night II you were but standing here,
I'd make you all answer, straight and true,
II you i ask again il loved you tiear

Business at the banks showed no new feature
yesterday, with the exception that country custom
ers were little more liberal in their offerings OF
paper for discount. All calls for legitimate pur-
poses were freely met, and many more wonla nave
been cheerful]y accepted. Holders Of farn prod
ucts do not seem disposed to accept the present
prices, and therefore hold on for better figures.
To customers the bsnks still charge sGS10 per
ceut The packers banks take paper 2et3 Der
cent below these figures, and 4G5 per cent is about
the rate for short lime call loans with approved
colatcra)s On the street almost nothing Is doing,
and rates are nominal ut per ccnt and upwards.
New York exchange is weak aud dropping The
price has been gradually downward during all the
latter half Of the week. On Saturday between banks
it was nominal at par; but some considerable sales
were reported at 2;5 cents per 81, 600 discount.
The fact indicates larger shipments Eastward, aud
it is therefore, prenonition of the near approach
Of the fall business.

that were brought to happy completion tne
past week were slightly in excess ol those tot
the previous seven days. The consideration
represents larger proportion oil loans out
these averaged only small amounts Money
loanexs xrport the market dull. They were pre-
nared for moderate business, but the Present
situation il enc TO which 10 language can do
Justice. It would naturally be supposed that in
he plethora OF money seeking investment there
sould occur weakening in the rate OF interest
or commissions, but SO far nothing Of the kind
has cropped to the surface The idea enter
tained by the city and county authorities OF en-
deayorins to levy h tax upon mortgages has by
no means tended to soften the rates
for money. Lenders, Of course, regard
the endcavor with supreme contempt,
but At the same time it is in human
nature TO resent the attempt, and, as they feel
they have been put on the defensive, they are
rather inclined to insist still more sternly upon
full rates. Very little Of the money loaned on
real estate is owned by Chicago capitalists. The
parties who do the heaviest loaning business are
merely agents for Eastern or European moneyed
institutions, such Is insurance companies and
g limited liability companies" They arc beyond
tre reach of city or county taxation.
There is no feature in the loan market which
gives greater pleasure than the uniform report
by agents that payments are bcln. promptly
met and that Chlc.Ago stands IN the lore front
III this respect wllcn compared with other cities
The rcltaacs in the tabular statements tell
