A BIG BANK FAILURE IN IRELAND.

The Munster bank Qimited), which has it
head Office in Cork, Ireland, and branch 10
Dublin, has failed. The liabilities Of the IN
stitution are s., ,75o 020, and its shareholders
are chiefly ladies, whose sole dependence is
on the dividends accruing from the shares.
The directors Of the bank express confidence
in their ability to settle all claims in full.
The notice OF suspension said it was due to
the withdrawal OF several heavy deposits
since the litigation of Jackson versus the
Munster bank directors, which produced an
uneasy feeling among depositors. The bank
was unable toreali1e quickly enough to meet
the demands. There is an uncalled capital
of e975, 900.
Last year the shareholders met and adopted
a resolution requesting Mr.. Shaw, n. p, the
chairman, to retire, and Messrs jackson,
Fitzgerald, and other shareholders instituted
n suit to make the directors responsible for
deficiencies caused by overdrafts to them
selves. It transpired that Mr.. Shaw was in
debted to the tank in the sum Of $40o,0

HEwORLDFRoMT THE SIDEWALK
Die you ever stand in the crowded street,


Die you ever stand in the crowded street,
In the glare Of the city lamp.
And list to the tread Of the million feet
In their quantity musical tramp'
As the surging crowd 60 to and fro.
'Tis pleasant sight, 1 ween,
To mark the figures that come and go
In the ever changing scene.
Here the publican walks with the sinner
proud
And the priest in his gloomy cowl,
And Dives walks in tho motley crowd
With Lazarus, cheek by iowl;
And the daughter Of toll, with her fresh
young heart
AS pure as her spotless fame,
Keeps step with the woman who makes her
mart
In the haunts of sin and shame.
How lightly trips the country lass
In the midst Of the city's ills.
As freshly pure as the daisied grass
That grows on her native hills!
And the beggar, too, with his hungry eye
And his lean, wan face and crutch,
Gives blessing the same to the passer-oy
As he gives him little or much.
When Time has beaten the worlds tattoo,
And in dusky nrmor dight
Is treadins with echoless footsteps through
The gloom of tho silent night,
How many of these shall be daintily fed
And shall sink to sumber sweet,
While many will 60 to sleepless bod
And never crumb to eat!
Ah me! when the hours go joyful by,
How little we stop to heed
Our brothers and sisters despairing cry
In their woe and their bitter need!
Yet such world as the angels sought
This world of ours we'd call,
If the brotbcrIy love that tho Father taught
Was felt by each for all.
Yet few short years and this motley throng
Will oil have passed away.
And the rich and the poor and the old and
the young
Will be undistlnguished clay.
And lips that laugh and lips that moan
Shall in silence alike be sealed,
And some will lie under stately stone,
And some in the Potter's Field.
But the sun will be shining just as bright,
And so will the silver moon,
And just such crowd will be here at night,
And just such crowd at noon;
And men will be wicked and women will sin
As ever since Adams fall,
With the same old world to labor in,
And the same God over all

DYING IN HIS toPFIN.

Forty years ago Mr.. David Gamble, a
wealthy farmer near Emmitsburg, Nd,
made coffin in which he slept every night
without failure. His novel bed was chosen;
he said, as constant reminder that death Is
always near. His desire to impress this fact
upon himself was owing to the sudden death
Of his wife, at the age of thirty years, by
heart disease. just before he made the coffin
they had been to ball. and after returning
home retired to bed Fifteen minutes later
Mr.. Gamble found that bis wife had died in
his arms. The shock was believed by many
to have unsettled his reason. He always
kept bis coffin thereafter in the corner Of bis
dining room. He would get into it every
night and pull the lid up until only his face
was exposed to view. One day be had q
travelling photographer take view Of him as
he lay In the coffin. This pictnre he had
framed and hung up over the dining room
mantel piece The other night he retired to
his coffin at the usual hour, but when the
servant called him this morning it was found
that he was dead. The body was not dis.
turbed, and will be buried as it was found.
Mr.. Gamble was charitable man and much
liked
