THE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, Oct. 29-p III.
BY tho operations Of the New-York Sub-Trcas-
ury in the week ended last night, which in
cludcd deposits Of $l.3I3,oOo for payment at
other points, the associated banks lost 81 235.7l9
The weekly bank statement published to-day
showed a gain in cash Of S602.5O The increaSc
OF $2,20l.6d0 in specie largely due to receipts
OF gold from Canada, which arc stimulated by
the continued high rates for money. At Montreal
money cannot he employed at better rates than
4 per cent, and the difference between the two
markets Is sufficient to cause the return OF the
American gold Of which Canada always holds
fair supply. The movement is one Of the bene-
fetal advantages Of more active demand for
money. Shipments Of currency to the interior
appear TO have reached the maximum. but the
return flow has not vet begun. There was
further contraction Of loans averaging &c., Joe"
and the reduction in deposits followed it very
closely The statement was, indeed. reasonably
consistent The result Of all the changes was "a
gain Of 81 56l,o5 in the surplus reserve, and the
banks hold in excess of legal requirements

In former times my numerous rhymes excited
And was then of all good men the merf1est
man on earth:
And my career
From year to year
Was full of cheer
Despite the few regrets tperdieuD which grim
But now how strange and harsh a change has
And horrors appaII the life where all was for
merly so serene
honest heart,
Because, alas! it hath come to pass my daugh.
ter's learnt Delsarte.
In flesh and joint and every point the counter
she grew SO fast she became at last marvellous
thing to seei
Long, gaInt and slim, each gangling limb
played stumbling block to tother-
The which excess of awkwardness quite morti-
fed her mother.
Now, as for me, like to see the carriages IN
cCuth
Which certify unto all the shy. unconscious age
II maidenkind be pure of mind. industrious.
tidy, smart,
What need that they should fool away their
youth upon Dclssrte?
In good cid times my numerous rhymes occa-
stoned general mirth,
But now you see
The gloomiest bard on earth
I sing no more OF the joys OF yore that marked
But rather those depressing woes with which
the presents rife;
UnrscOneiled to that gaunt child cwho's now
One song raise in Arts disprsise. and SO do I
fight with Fate;
This gangling bard has found II hard 70 see his
counterpart
Long, loose and slim, divorced from him BY that
hectic dude. Delsarte
Where'er she goes,
She loves to pose
In classic attitudes,
And droop her eyes in lauguid wise ana feigA
distracted moods:
And she-rny child
(Who all so wild,
So helpless and so sweet
That once she knew not what to DO with these

Now comes and goes with such reposs, 50

And utter one word DIT is commonly heard
derogatory to Delsarte!
In years gone by twas said that was quite

Conceit galore had before this Delsarte craze
began;
But now these wise
Folks criticise
My figure and my face,
And oplne they even lnclne 10 sheer at my
musical bass;
Why. sometimes they presume to say this wart
upon my cheek
Is not refined, and remarks unkind they pass on
that antique:
With lusty bass and charms of face and figure
will part
Ere they extort this grand old wart to placsts
their Delsartei

When by this rhyme you see that I'm not IN 1t

Good by the mirth that over earth diffused such
keen delight
The old-sime bard
OF pork and lard
Is plainly out of sight,
AL withered now about his brow the laurel
fllets droop,
While Laehesis brews
For the poor old Muse
portion of scalding soup!
So grave this line, o friends of mine, over my
broken heart:
"He hustled and strove, and fancied he throye
till his daughter learnt Dels Ertsi"
Eugene Field.
