Sweetheart, you have not known

Sweetheart, you have not known
If l be great or wise;
Yet somewhere you shall own me
Beneath Gods splendid skies;
Though now life's broken chalice
No earthly sweets can win.
Some day, at Loves own palace,
Your arms shall take me in
Some day u rose will blossom
White in the thorny ways,
And on the dark Nights bosom
Will fall the mornings rays;
Some day when I am lying
Pale from the storm and strife,
Your lips shall seek me, dying,
And kiss me back to life !!
Then will the bird-songs, ringing,
Fall soft on fields of bloom;
Then will the streams flow sing
ing
Through groves of rich per-
fume;
Then shall the world benighted
The rarest splendor win,
And a Loves palace lighted,
Your arms shall take me in !

My experience of life makes me
sure of one truth, which do not
try to explain: that the sweetest
happiness we ever know. the very

love, but from sacrifce-from the

is as true to me as that my flesh
will burn if l touch red-hot metal.

And if he will-the night,
Only the night for me !!
For you Loves own dear land

And if you will-no hand

When God your brow adorns
With the sweet roses OF His rest,

In view of these facts Mr. Hepburn sug
gests that IL Is practicable to combine the
safety fund principle with security for cir
culation in a manner which would be just
To all concerned. Let fund be contributed
he says, by uniform tax upon all banks
paid into the treasury and available for the
immediate redemption Of the notes of failed
banks Let this fund be given a prior lien
upon the assets and stockholders liability
of such banks for the advances made, less
the amounts contributed TO the safety fund
by the banks. When any bank goes into liq
uidation, il should be required TO deposit
with the treasury sum equal to its out
standing circulation, less the amount con
tributed by such bank to the safety fund
Such system as this would work no injus
tice to the banks; it would be sufficient
guarantee of the Immediate redemption OF
failed bank notes, and it would meet the
difficulty involved in the payment of the
debt and the want of national bonds as a
basis of note circulation. These are prac'
tical suggestions which merit considera-
ton.

MARsHrIELD, Mass, March 23.-Many
of the inhabitants of this town are just
now busy counting up their hard earned
dollars and speculating as to how much
they are out Of pocket by the actions Of
one Of their town folk. Henry @. Dun
ham, a respectable citizen, carried on a
grain business here, and at the tim,
George w. Ventress bought his present
home Dunham lent him financial aid

ness, drawing on him when he needed
money.
Henry G. Dunbam died about yeai
ago, his estate owing Ventress 500. Pre-
vious TO his decease, his son, Henry Martin
Durham, became associated with his
father, the firm being Henry c. Dunham
& Son.
Up to that time Ventress had indorsso
notes for the firm amounting to $4,000
and one was protested, but on Mr. Ven
tress going to the senior partner with 1t
The Matter Was Adjusted.
After the son succeeded to the business
he asked Ventress to indorse note foi
$500 on 30 days time. This was done,
and at the expiration of the time Dunham
said he could not meet the obligation, but
would give another note to renew the first.
Xentress endorsed this. The performance
was repeated until eight notes were en
dorsed and Ventress had signed away 24OO
Of his hard earned dollars.
Durham later on came with ninth
note, saying that he wished TO buy grain
in Boston, but did not know how much II
would come to, and desired Mr.. Ventress
name on it, he would fill II in for the exact
amount of his purchase later on. Subse
quently Mr.. Nentress received notice from
the Old Colony National Bank of Ply
mouth that note was due. He supposed
that IL was for the original amount Of $500,
and went to see the bank people, from
whom he learned, TO his astonishment,
that the bank had s2iOo worth of paper

the various notes being scattered from
March To the middle of June.
Shortly afterward Deputy Sheriff Torrey
of Norwell notified Mr.. Ventress that he
should hold him responsible for $500 worth
more of Dunhams paper. Then came a
blank note Ventress had indorsed.
When the victim went to see Dunham,
that individual was absent, but before he
left it now appears he had persuaded Henry
Carver to cash check for $50, and worked
the same game on Flavelrs express. When
the checks were presented at the bank it
was found there were
