There Is no time like the old time. when you
and were young.
When che buds OF April blossomed and the
birds of springtime sung.
The gardens brightes gl0ries by summer
suns are nursed.
But. oh. the sweet sweet violets. the flowers
that opened first.
There il no place like the old place. where
you and were born,
Where we lifted first our eyelids on the splen-
dors OF the morn.
From the nilk-white breast thst warmed us,
from the clinging arms that bore.
Where tie dear eyes giistened DER us that
will look on US no more.
There Is no friend like the old friend. who
has shared our morning days.
70 greeting like his welcome, no homage like
his praise.
Fame is the scentless sunnower, with gaudy
crown of gold.
Lut friendship is the breathing rose. with
sweets in every fold
There is no love like the old love. that we
courted in our pride;
Though onr leaves are falling. failing ana
we're fading side by side.
There are blossoms all around rs, with the
colors or our dawn.
And we live In borrowed sunshine when our
day-star is Withdrawn.
There are no times like the old times they
shall never be forgot;
There is no place like the old place--keep
green the dear old spot.
There are no friends like our old friends
may heaven prolong their livesi
There are no loves like our old l0yes-GoI
bless our loving wives

Forty years ago. one pleasant sum-

Well. will tell you To-day that
youth is president of the Chemical
National Bank of New York city, the
most solid and substantial banking insti-
tuition in the country. His name Is
George Williams, and he has been con.
nected with that bank in some capacity
from the day he first entered the doors
with his father 40 years ago until the
present Such a record here in America,
where everything is shifting aud chang.
ing, is worth more than passing men

The Chemical National Bank is the
bank in which the wealthy New York
ers, the Astors, the Vanderbilts, the
Goulds. and many others who care more
for security than interest make their
large deposits myself have seen u
check for s. 600, 600 in favor of Jay
Gould drawn ON the Chemical National
Bank The stock Is limited to $500. 600,
but the pr party of the bank, independ-
ent of the name, is worth $40, 900. 000
Is it any wonder that the shares, which
started ia at a par value of 500. are now
worth $1,000 at least, ana it is almost
impossible to get one of them at any
figure! o her banks come and go. other
anks rise am fall, but this bank seems
to have caught glimpses of immortality.

of bank
The brains of this bank, the man who
has made it what it is TO large degree
is George Williams His record is one
TO be envied. He has made money him.

imes over ia the commercial agencies
But he can command tens of millions of

Too often the worth, the merit. the work

The .Ola Curiosity Shop" Doomed

Says cablegram from London: 'Ths
Old Curiosity Shop" which every man,
woman and child, all the English
ing world over knows by repute, is the
next of the celebrated buildings which is
doomed to destruction. 1t is situated Ia
Fetter Lane, which drives its name not
from manaclcs or other restraining i'm
pIemeuts, but from the beggars who used
to be the most prominent feature Of the
ncighhorhood and were called Faiters.
The student of Shakespeare and of the
writers generally about that time, will
recall several instances in which the old
word is employed. Charles Dickens in
his early days used to visit the house in
order to borrow books from what was at
that time a library. The old tenant,
Mrs. Haincs, who has leased the shop
for over sixty years, and has now reached
the patriarchial age OF cighty-six, has a
lively recollection Of the novelist's visits
aud tells many stories OF him. But the
name of Dickens is not the only one OF
importance which is associated with that
of Fetter Lane, for two celebrated broth
ers lived there, one of whom is remem-
bered by every reader of the history Of
the turbulent times Of Oliver Cromwell,
as prominent member OF Parliament Of
that tine. These were Praise God Bare
bones, the member in question, and
Damned Barcbones, while John Dryden
also lived for time in one of the houses
there. - Times Democrat.

Destruction Of a Famous Tower.

Early in 1s43 Llewellyn Haskell,
man Of large means built on his property
at Kearney, N. j., brick tower ninety
feet high, which everybody supposed to
be an observatory. On May % of the
same year he and his entire family, all
arrayed in white, assembled to the sum
NIT of tower and waited from sunrise to
sunset for the world to come to AN end.
Quite largo number of Millerites waited
with them in the woods near by, doubt
less envying them their nearer proximity
to heaven, and people found out for the
first time the real secret of the tall tower.
Mr.. Haskell afterward plunged deeply
into the supposed mysteries of spiritual
ism. In later years he moved to Orange
and established there the beautiful
Llewcllyn Park. His lofty monument
to Miller is now to be pulled down to
make way for street running through
the surrounding grOunds.-M" Orleans
