Only CLEAN OF Sunshine.
BY O. A. x.

BY o. Ak
Only O CLEAN of sunshine
To fall on n weary wny,
And take from life IT, shadow
And bring Il brighter day.
Only a gleam Of sunshine
To make a heart grow warm,
And cause thought OF future
Free from griefs alarm.
Only q CLEAN Of sunshine
To light up fading life;
To cause pleasant mOment.
A hope, a wish for life.
Onlya CLEAN Of sunshine
10 light up n broken heart:
To heal It's wounds and bruises,
Trying to act n part
Only a CLEAN ofsuushine
That will over play u part,
In all oEliie's movements,
To actwi,h magic art.
Only gleam Of suhshino,
Not 10 shine for me alone,
But to cause all beauty,
10 cheer the peoples home.

TIE BANKERS IN COUNCIL.


The Convention of the American Bank
ers' Association is an interesting meeting,
and it is to be hoped that it may be able to
devise some way of averting the danger
GUS results which the steady coinage of
silver must otherwise entail upon the coun-
try. President Mitchell called the atten-
ton of the Convention to this subject,
showing that "as long as no special effort
"shall be made to force the silver into cir
culation, its existence will chiefly affect
'the Government Treasury, to which it
" belongs, and to which it apparently sus-
''tains the relation substantially of silver
"bulhon. But whenever, by the failure
of our crops, or other exigencies of our
foreign trade, balances must be RENTED
"to Europe, gold alone will subserve
"that purpose. Doubtless any considera-
"ble drain of gold will throw the silver
"irto circulation. Paper money will then
sfall to the rank of silver, and our entire
circulation will be deprecated to the
"yalue of the silver dollar" This is the
danger which We have pointed out ever
