The BanE Of England.

The Bank Of England was organized
in 1854. For time, the business was
done in one room. Now, 700 men are
employed. No bills are issued for less
than 60. Bills never go from the bank
the second time. Smaller notes are out
about 55 days. Notes for 81 900 are out
on an average Of 10 days. Every custo-
mer can have hard or soft money as he
prefers. Sovereigns that come into the
bank are all weighed before going out
into circulation again. We saw them
moving down the trough, every one that
is deficient in weight passing out at the
side. These deficient coins are melted
up for re-coinsge. All silver coins that
are worn smooth are melted MP in like
manner. Every coin going out of the
bank has its full weight and value. The
sovereigns are put up in bags Of 10000
each; 100000 are weighed in a day.
Notes that are paid at the bank are torn
at one corner, preserved five years and
then destroyed
Gold and silver are in ordinary use
for all small business transactions. The

A Little Mistake In Church.

A Dutch clergyman was in the habit
of giving out two lines of hymn at q
time for the choir to sing One dark,
rainy day he could not see the words,
and said, Mine eyes ish dim, I cannot
see; 1 left mine specks at home" The
choir, supposing this to be the hymn,
struck up the time of common metre.
The old fellow bavled out, " Mein Gottl
mein Gottl dat ish no hymn. 1 only
said mine eyes wash dim The choir
sang these two lines, the old fellow say
ing. dink de debil's in you all. Dat
wash no hymn at al"
