2 Beautiful AllegorY,

Once upon a time a mothers bent
over Flower that had been given
her-a a + and lovely plant-and as it
grew she tended and nursed it into
yet greater loneliness. Day and
night she watched and loved it.
Friends and neighbors came and
marveled at the ~perfectness and
purity of the Flower, and worshipped
it. None could Gnger near that
sweet Flower, even for a short while,
but would feel and be the better for
the sweet influence Of its purity.
And God saw that Flower, and call
ing His messenger Death, he said.
ALREADY is that Flower ready for
the transplanting; here near my
throne must thou put it, whilst yet
it's leaves are pure; whilst now the
hearts of all are given to it, bring it
to me, for then shalt thou also bring
me the hearts of those who love it."
Gods messenger went. The mother,
cherishing her Flower, saw the pale
hand stretched forth to touch it
"Not yet; not yet, oh! Ietth; it is
my best beloved; it is my ALL" and
as she could, the mother strove with
Death, but who might successfully
strive with him? He put forth his
hand and touched the Flower, and
10! it's roots were in the mothers
heart, and as Death strove to pluck,
the heart of the mother bled and the
Flower dropped; Death staid his
hand and said, See you not that thy
Flower is bound up in thy heart?
And tho God has sent me for thy
treasure, He means her not to be
hurt or bruised; He wishes her in all
purity and freshness, with no stain
of earth upon her leaves, that she
may bloom in the Garden of Heaven"
But the mother said, 1T is my treas
ure, my best beloved. My heart is
so bound around it's roots that if you
separate us she will droop and I shall
be cruelty torn" And Death sighed
and the mother wept. The grief Of
the mother touched the Son of God
He bent over her and whispered,
"Give me thine heart, and then will
thy Flower be transplanted in its
f Ill freshness and neither" But the
mother said, Il have no strength:
my heart will break" Death sighed
and the mother wept. Allthe friends

1t having been found impossible to
conclude the arguments before the
Master in the Commercial Bank case
in time to get the case in at this
term of court, the hearings have
been suspended. The case will
therefore not come before the court
until July term.
This case In numerous respects
stand by itself and is unparalleled
not only in this County, but it is be-
lieYed in this porfien of the State.
In the amount involved, in the i'm
mense volume of testimony taken
and the length of arguments made
before the Master, It is certainly
remarkable.

least time in which the presentation
OF argument can be concluded. One
of the attorneys for the bank has
prepared al outline of what his side
claims should be the finding or re-
port of the Master as to matters of
fact, with forty three items. The
other side are said to have a similar
document with fifty items. 1t is
estimated that the Master with all
possible diligence will require a
month to prepare his report after
the hearings and arguments are over.
