“ He knoweth best onr hearts
Who doeth * all things well’ "
Thus when, with tearful eyes.
His Holy Word I spell,
I bid my faint heart feel
And strive to rise above
The smothering clouds of sorrow
To worlds of light and love
But oh 1 the human heart,
How tightly doth it cling
To what it calls its own,
E’en though it sorrow- bring 1
Each hath iui own dear love,
Mine was my precious girls,
Sweet birds of innocence and love—
Alice—QJanche, my pearls.
Our Father atw the love
My heart poured out each hour,
And called unto His arms
My darling baby flower.
Soon closed the azure eyes,
The fingers ceased their play ;
The curls grew damp, the spirit fled
To realms of endless day.
Oh 1 Father, dark it seems
This providence to me,
Yet, through the gloom, I hope
Thy goodness still to see. >
My lonely heart must miss
One little form of love,
Until I meet it ten-fold dear
In realms of light and love.
Big Bend, Ky. Annie Caldwell.
The Financial History of Great Britain
from 1818 to 1825.
We publish to-day a companion picture
to that which we gave a few weeks ago in
an epitome of the History of the finances of
the United States from 1812 to 1825. The
present resume comprehends the most
eventful period in the financial history of
England, and the lessons of history, be it
remembered, are not without instruction.
The suspension of specie payments in
that country began in 1797, and from that
time to 1821—an interval of more than
twenty-three years—its transactions were
based upon an irredeemable currency. As
early as 1812 Bank of England notes were
twenty-one per cent, below par, while gov
ernment bonds were twenty per cent, be
low those, or forty-one per cent, below the
gold standard. . The financial prospects of
the kingdom were gloomy; there was great
pi ostration of trade, and popular dissatis
faction, which manifested itself in the form
of riots. The loans of the government
were negotiated with difficulty at this rate
of depreciation, and as specie became
scarce the government credit declined and
liublic distrust increased. Subsequent
oans were therefore, negotiated at a fur
ther sacrifice as the gold premium continu
ed to advance. On the return of Napoleon
from Elba, early in 1815, when England,
after a short lull of peace, was up in
arms again, there was a general commer
cial panic, which resulted in sixty-one fail
ures in one week in March, and consols fell
from 61 to 56. In the same time year the
government negotiated a .loan of £36,000,-
000 at a discount of thirty per cent, for
Bank of England notes,* the total amount
of securities which it gave in exchange for
the notes amounting to £65,440,000.
After the war with France was over there
was a great outcry among the laboring por
tion of the population against the heavy
taxation which the government found it
necessary to levy in order to meet its large
current expenditures, far exceeding the rev
enue and the interest on its debt. Mobs
collected in the streets of the principal cities,
and petitions were sent to Parliament for a
reduction of the burdens which the people
were forced to bear. In 1819 considerable
distrust of the public credit was manifested,
and the prospect of national bankruptcy
was discussed by the leading newspapers.
More mobs and riots disturbed-public tran
quility, and there were further loud calls
for a repeal of the taxes. Seme of these
riots led to bloodshed, and there was such a
general disturbance of trade that a large
number of commercial failures took place.
In 1821 the Bank of England, with an
outstanding circulation of £23,000,000, re
turned to specie payments, consul# rose to
761, and trade began to flourish again. A
period of speculation set in which lasted till
1825, when the most violent panic known
in commercial history swept the land, and
Ihe government was Equally powerless with
the Bank of England to avert or mitigate
its effects. Forty-five country banks stop
. ped payment, and eleven hundred mercan
tile failures occurred in the month of De
cember in that year.
This was the recoil . from the inflation
which had preceded the resumption of spe
cie payments. The abnndadce of
money stimnlated new enterprises and en
couraged overtrading, and the hollowness
of the foundation was not discovered till
the bubble of speculation had been blown
so far that there was no escape irom collapse.
We arejust now in a somewhat similar
position to that of England after being
saddled with a debt of more than eight
hundred and thirty-six millions of pounds
sterling. We are floating on the high tide
of this seeming prosperity which a highly
inflated currency never fails to produce.
We have a debt of not far from three
thousand millions, and a volumn of curren
cy aggregating nearly a thousand millions.
All this Mr. Jay Cook would make out to
be national wealth. But it is exactly the
reverse. It is an incubus upon property
and prosperity, and taxation is a drag
placed upon national and individual pro
gress. The debt was the necessary result
of a task that we were bound to accom
plish ; but let no man fall into the error of
mistaking national debt for national wealth,
nor flatter himself that he shall escape the
troubles inseparable from debt and taxa
tion of such magnitude as ours. All will
doubtless go well with us in the end, but
meanwhile we must experience the recoil
and be prepared for more than we have a9
yet experienced. The nation has to un
dergo a course of liquidation, and it is well
for us to be prepared to pass through the
ordeal which sooner or later must be sub
mitted to us by the logic es events. N Y

The city of Buffalo does not possess, to
day, one-half the hotel accomodations which
it had twenty-five years ago. In the mean
time the population and business have more
than doubled.
San Franoiseo advices states that 60,000
