Until its reorganization by imperial

or something less than a half penny.
Now. however. it appears in three
editions daily. The first. issued early
in the morning aud printed on yellow
paper. is called Hpng-Pau business
Sheet, and contains trade prices, ov-
change quotations and all manner of
commercial Intelligence. Its cjCula-

edition, which comes out during the
forenoon, also printed upon yellow
paper, is devoted to official announce
mcnts, fashionable intelligence and
general news. Besides its ancient

The Hearts of Trees.

lie at case amid the Rlade
Where late my random steps have strayed;
The branches tcnderly are swayed;
Vicissitudes of shine or shade
The plenteous grasses feel.
Yet here in this idyllic place,
Gloomcd from the crystal blue of space,
No longer does my vision trace
What outward symmetry and grace
The foliage may reveal.
For dearer still the boon prize
To pierce with contemplatiyo eyes
Recesses of the trees that rise
Above me, in luxuriant guise
OF twinkling green arrayod;
To mark the gladsome birds explore
Each growth to its cool central core,
And note their quick shapes dart ard soar
Through many a leafy corridor.
Dim gallery, ,fdeep arcade.
Oh, feathered favorites, bliths and feet
Whom the calm woodlands love to greet
With hospitality more sweet
Than man, howe'er he may entrcat,
Can make their bouehs dispense,
To you the allie; giant trees have told
In fond confession, shy or bold,
In cloisteral music richly rolled,
Rare special secrets they withhold
From mans intelligence!
All! human life too ofton sees
Great realms of thought or dream, like thes,
Great shadowy hearts OF yonder trees,
Floetine fantasias on the breeze
More eloquent than wordsl
But we, whose earth-bound spirits tire,
Watch with regrets long g-smoldering fire
Those interdicted bournes aspire,
While fate forbids that our desire
Shall wear wings, like the birdsl

the risk of their being wiped out in the

Seized with the mania which has made

no actual transactions are made, but
where money changes hands on
