Come, Teach Me.

Come, teach mo the worth of affection.
The love that will never grow cold,
bliss which will brighten lilc's pathway
More precious than silver or gold
Then whisper Of joy in a cottage
A charm that no lover would miss
And with Your sweet face flushed in beauty,
Just meet me halfway with kiss.
Come, tell me how long must lingcr,
Assigning for joy you can give,
These years you have kept me awaiting
It's hard out OF sunshine to live.
Then teach me the worth of affection,
While am so eager for bliss
And with your fair face bright with bushes,
Just meet me halfway with kiss
Come teach me the art of trueloving,
And smile VIII call you my dear;
My heart is now throbb,ng with pleasure,
And tcnderly drawing you near.
While youths bright, warm summer is passing
Oh! give Inc one token of bliss;
Just fly to my arms with an answer,
I'll meet You halfway with n kiss.
While shadows of twilight are deepning,
And nightingales' songs we can hear
Come, teach me the worth of affection,
The love that is constant my dear
| wait in the sweet, blooming clover,
And long for your token of bliss;
Come, love, with your fond eyes o-glowing,
And meet me halfway with kiss,

PeOple's Banks in Germany.

The formation in Germany of
registered credit associations, or peoples
banks, has proved to be a great success,
and from very unpretending COM
mencement, most prosperous system
has been developed. The especial
oh iectS of these associations are to give
advances and credit; to acquire raw
material and to open stores; to manu-
facture and to sell commodities; to
produce the necessities of life and Of
production wholesale and to sell them
in retail; to build dwellings for their
members, and to cultivate land. Any
original capital is first formed by those
who desire to institute an association
by means of subscribing for shares.
These, although remaining the proper
" of those who subscribed for them,
cannot he withdrawn during member
ship. A reserve fund is also formed
to preserve the share capital intact in
case of losses. Members of each asso-
citation being liable for the debts and
obligations contracted by it. people
who would not think of trusting any
individual member are wiling to trust
an association the members Cf which
are responsible for each other. Thus
the man who alone could get no credit,
if of respectable character and ante
ccdcnts, is admitted a member of an
association, and at once obtains an ad"
vance in proportion to his means.
Those who thus obtain credit bind
themselves to repay the sum credited
to the association with all their prop
ertv. jointly and separately. The for
mnitieS of admission to the association
are clear and distinct, and are stringent
" observed; otherwise members would
try to disproye their membership where
such procedure would be to their ad-
vantage. No case of bankruptcy Oc-
currel among these associations in
lSS2--a fact which speaks for itself.
Their credit is, consequently, very
high, and they can always obtain more
money than they can use, so much so
that they are continually reducing the
rate of interest on deposits. The
average rate of interest demanded Of
borrowers by associations in the years
1873 to 1882 was 6.57, 6,33, 6.13, 800
and 6.29 per cent, respectively, Many
of the registered associations combine
in districts for the better safeguarding
of their interests. These assist ono
another in collecting bills and mutually
giving credit. Besides these combina-
tionS of associations, there is the
general association" which, as its
name implies, is combination of all
the registered associations. The gen
cral association publishes its own
newspaper.-LoRdon Times

PETRA.
An Antique city Hewn out or Solid

mn Antique tity pe"h WV W.
Rock.
Edward /. Wilson, in lecture Oh
the Taking Of Petra" said: Inc
city of Pietra existed before the tlIhe
of Moses; it was the place where SOLO
man was a merchant and David fought
the foe Starting from Port SAid the
Journey was made across the SueZ canal
down to Arabia, and thence northwest
from Mount Sinai by five days
Journey to Akaba. Here contract IN
Arabic characters was made with the
native who was to lead the party.
Two-thirds Of the written contract
consisted of mplimentary Salutatlons.
the other third was made up Of saluta-
tions complimentary, and the business
that ought to have been contained in
the upper part of the sheet was put in
a postscript downin the left hand lower
corner, in single line. The line or
march to Petra was through very
rocky country, but the nearer the ap-
TrOach was made to the city, the lower
tie rocks and the broader the desert
Petra itself is in the very lowest part
of u rocky valley now called Wady
Musa. The city, which covers consid-
cradle territory, is completely hemmed
in by cliffs. The only available en-
trance is from the east, through a
harrow gorge 50 small in places that a
loaded camel cannot pass through.
The path is crooked, and the sides OF
the cliff are many hundred feet high,
Once in the valley where the city is
founded one sees an amphitheatre
capable of holding 1890 persons. Mag
ninccnt temples, pillars, public edilices
and dwellings are found on every side
in almost entire preservation.
Up the mountain sides the homes
for the people were built, and the sides
Of the mountains, first shaved off,
were carved into long flights of stairs.
All the buildings and pillars are carved
from the solid rock. \ house or a
temple was male out of and stands to-
day, solid piece of stone. The process
was to plane off the side of the noun
tain of stone, then, beginning at the
top, a facade Of elegant architectural
beauty was carved upon the face Of
the mountain. First, the capital was
carved, then the pillar, then the base,
and 50 on down to the bottom. EXca-
vations were male, beginning at tue
top, and in this way the temple was
gradually constructed. The stone is
puzzle togeologists. Its color is red and
green, and yellow and blue, and garnet
and brown, as in Watered silk, and the
test explanation Of its gorgeous variety
is that the water has mingled with the
iron salts and the stone itself being Of
different constituents,in different places
has caused the several colors, They look
like the colors of rich Persian rug
blended in curving lines.
The mountains, which really consti-
tute the surrounding walls Of Petra
and giveit the name of the Rocky
City" and make it the most impregna-
Die place in the world, are from 1900
to 5000 feet high, some Of the dwell
ings and temples are 100 feet in height.
The excavations are 90 and 40 feet
deep.

1t is fact not generally known that the
