The Old Village Choir.

| have fancied sometimes the Bethel
bent beam
That trembled to earth in the Patriarch's
dream
Was Il ladder of song in that wilderness
rest,
From the pillow of stone to the blue OF
the Blest,
And the angels descending to dwell
with US here,
old Hundred and Corinth,' and China
and Near,
All the hearts are not dead nor under
the sod
That those breathS can now blow open
to Heaven apd God.
All! Silver Street flows by a bright
shining road
Oh, not to the hymns that in harmony
flowed,
But the sweet humah psalms of the
old-fashiOned-chOir,
To the girl that sang alto, the girl that
sang air.
Let US sing to Gods praiser the minis
ter said; s.-
All the psalm books at once fnttered
open at York
Sung their long dotted wings in the
words that he read,
While the leader leaped into tue tune
just ahead,
And politely picked up the keynote
with fork,
And the vicious old viol went growing
along
At the heels of tie girls in the rear OF
the song.
Oh. I need not a wing-bid no geni
With wonderful web from Arabian
loom,
To bear me again up the river of Time
When the world was in rhythm and life
was its rhyme.
And the stream of The years flowed Sc
noiseleSs and narrow
That across it there floated the song of &
sparrow;
Fora sprig of green caraway carries me
there.
To the old village church and the OLD
|. village choir,
Where clear of the floor my feet slowly
swung
And timed the sweet pulse of the praise
that they sung,
Till the glory aslant from the afternoon

Seemed the Iafters of gold in Gods tenn
pie begun.
You may smile at the naSals of old Dea
con Brown,
Who followed by scent till he ran the
tune down,
And dear sister Green, with more good
ness than grace,
Rose and fell ON the tunes as she stood
in her place.
And where Coronation exuitfngiy flows
Tried to reach the high notes on the tipi
of her tOeSi
To the land of the leal they have gOnt
with their song,
Where the choir and the chorus tOgeth-
er belong.
Oh! be lifted, ye gates! Let me heal
them again.
Blessed song! Blessed singers! forever
Amen!

NatianaI Bnnks.

Mr.. Pendlet0n, under the head OF real
issues, arraigns the Republican party for
extending the charter of national banks.
How hard it is for an old-fashloned
Democrat to get out of the anti-bank
rut, or to forget the demagoguism that
denounced banks and then created the
worst batch Of shinplaster institutions
that ever had an existencel Next to
the suppression of the rebellion and the
restoration of every State to IFS place in
the Union, the Republican party may
feel proud of the national banking sys-
tenn, which is the best that has ever
blessed any nation. We suppose. Mr..
Pendleton would be happy if the coan-
try were remanded back to the rotten
State bank system, which was organized
robbery. Since the establishment of the
national currency not one dollar has
been lost. There is no monopoly. Any
one with capital can start a bank, but
he must at the same time keep his con-
tract wit the people. During the brief
period ihe Democratic yarty had control
of Congress, it sought to destroy the ma
tional banks, and plunged the country
into financial panic, from which it was
rescued by the veto of Republican
until the people had an opportunity to
hurl from power that party the record
of which, in quarter Of "a century, has
been worse than pestilence and famine.
The proudest record of the Republic
can. party is in its financial record.
What has the Democratic party to show
in that linep Turn over \ few of the
leaves of its history. How long since
Mr.. Pendleton declared from his seatin
Congress that the greenbaoks would not
be worth the paper on which they were
printedp How long since he sought to
start the printing presses on those same
greenbacks for the purpose OF feodihg
the country with an irredeemable cur
rency? How long since he opposed The
resumption of specie payments at every
pointS Has there been step in The
progress of the country from an irrs +
deeIpable currency 70 specie payments
| thstMr. Pendleton and the Democratic
patty has not oppoaedt IL so, please
point Il out.

Warming to the Farmer.

The Bureau of Agriculture, which
usually is sanguine enough in its esti-
mate of crops, has deemed necessary to
promulgate caution To tho farmers
against the effect of the present reports
of the enormous increase of the wheat
crop, which have put it us high us 6oO,-
100000 bushels, and are still growing
The bureau warns the guleless farmer
to wary of such enormous figures,
which may he The srratagems-Of specu-
lators who have sold short, or for the al
ways multitude who want to buy low
for big rise.
The caution is wise, and it is testi-
mOny to the value of the Agricultural
Bureau. Several influences tend to ex-
aggerate the crops. Although specula-
tors are on both sides, yet the bulk Of
them want to buy.low and sell high. All
people think abundant crops are good,
and are inclined to make them so. AL
though farmers are grumblers by Ia
ture, yet the individual farmer does not
like to give statement of poor yield
of his land, for it reflects on his land or
his husbandry. Although our financial
SYSTEM aims to create high prices in all
manufactured goods, in order To make
high wages and profits, yet all want low
prices Of farm products, and therefore
they help to sing the song of plenty.
Thus all things tend to exaggerate the
crops while growing, and at harvest
time, and consequently to depress
prices.
The farmer will do well to be cautious
in the season when all these "bear" in
fiuences are at work. He knows from
his experience and observation that
neither the yield nor the acreage jump
up in any enormous degree in one year.
This season has had many destructive
tornadoes and floods. New York and
New England have had a terrible
drought. The potato crop in New York
is rated as 100000 bushels short. 1t
must have suffered in the same degree
in New England. Such deficiency i'll
one great food staple must be-made up
by others. The corn crop is certainly
and largely short. In the Northwest
much damage has been done to wheat
in the STOCK by rain. In the rich wheat
lands of Washington Territory the cIop
has been shortened third or more by
drought. An iusufliciency Of rain WAS
reported in California.
The fruit crop. especially that most
staple article. the apple, WAS cat off in
the West and Northwest. Beef is high,
add the state of the corn crop must make
pork high. There is talk OF great i'll
crease of corn planting in the South, but
we all know that there are no
sudden revolutions in farming. Wherey-
er cotton will grow 1t is still the best
crop. Thus the general outlook is not
of ,unbOunded abundance of farm crops.
The farmer ought not to be ground
down to low prices in order to balance
high prices in all other things.
He who has to pay high price for
every farm implemement and for every
article he buys for his family cOnsunp
tion, in order that the wOrkmen and
manufacturers may have high wages, is
entitled to get even by high prices for
his farm products. High prices to the
farmer are as necessary TO the general
prosperity as high prices to the artizan
and manufacturer.-[Cin. Gaz.

ADvICEs from Texas confirm the re-
port of the Concha floods. Six inches Of
rain fell all over northwestern Texas.
1t is estimated that 10000 sheep, besides
horses, cattle, mules and sixty to seventy
five persons were swept away. About
fifty houses are gone in Laredo. The
Mexican National railroad track was
washed away badly. Several sheep men
lose all their flocks, land are almost ruined.

The fears that the work of National
bank reorganization and extension win cause
any contraction of the .greenback currency are
groundless. The law allows the banks three
years in which TO call in their legal tender notes
and exchange them for the new currency, the
latter being issued as fast as the old is deposi-
ted. There have been, in this connection,
many false reports. An attempt to get up a
corner in greenbacks, SO long as the banks
have three years in which TO retire their circu,
latio,, would not be profitable. Few banks
so far, are in process Of reorganization, as the
larger number of charters will not begin to e1-
pire until February next.
