of that place are dissatisfied with hia refusal to I
call the Legislature together. He assured them J
that they weald find both Texas and her Gov-

present crisis. We have seen no report of the
speech, but are told that it wg£. well received. |

Suddenly all the sky is bid
As witt the shutting of a lid;
One by one great drops are falling
Doubtful and alow;
Down the pane they are crookedly crawling,
And tbe wind breathes low;
Slowly tte circles widen on tte river,
Widen and mingle, one and all;
Here and there tte aleaderer flowers shiver,
Struck by an icy rain-drop's Call.
Now on the hills I hear the thunder mutter;
The wind is gathering in the west;
Tbe upturned leaves first whiten sad flutter,
Then droop to a fitful rest;
p from the stream witt sluggish flap
Struggles the gull, and floats away.
Now leaps the wind on tte sleepy marsh,
And tramples the grass with terrified feet;
Tbe startled river turns leaden and barsh—

Again, now, now, again
Plashes tte rain in heavy gouts;
The crinkled lightning
Seems ever brightning;
And loud and long
Again tte thunder shouts

One quivering flash,
One wildering crash,
Followed by silence dead and dull,

Silent and few, drifting over me.

I was led, on presenting my card of admis-
sion, into a private room, where, after a delay
of a few moments, a messenger came and con-
ducted me through tte mighty and mysterious
building. - Down we went into a room where
the notes of the bank, received the day before,
were now examined, compared with the entries
in the book, and sttmed away. The Bank of
England never issues tte same note n-second
time. It receives in the ordinary course of bu-
siness, about £800,000, or $4,01)0,000, daily in
notes; these are put up into parcels according
to tbeir denominations, boxed up with the date
of their reception, and are kept ten years; at
tte expiration of which period they are taken

be said it was a question he was not allowed
to answer.

Thousands are dally speaking In the. praise of
DR. EATON'S
INFANTILE CORDIAL.,
And why 1 because it never failt to aford instan-
taneous relief when given ln time. It acta as if by
magic, and one trial alone will convince you that
what we say is true. It contains
No Paregoric or Opiate
of any kind, and therefore relieves by removing the
sufferings of your child, instead of by deadening it
sensibilities. For this reason, it commends itself as
the only reliable preparation now known tor Chil-
dren Tbthihs, Diakkhoza, Dysimterv, Griping in
ths Bowels, Acuhtv o the Stomach, Wind, Cold
in the Head, and Caocr; also, for Softening the
Gums, Reducing Inflama tion, Regulating the Bowels,
and relieving pain, It has no equal—being an anti-
spasmodic it is used with unfailing success in all
cases ot Convulsion oa othkr Fits. As you value
the life and health of your children, and wish to save
them from those sad and blighting consequences which
are certain to result from the use of narcotics of which
all other remedies for Infantile Complaints are com-
posed, take none but DR. EATON'S INFANTILE
CORDIAL, this you can rely upon. It la perfectly
harmless, and cannot injure the most delicate infant.

„ . little interval of leisure. I am here to-day on

than thank you; but let so much, at leasts be
said.
The apprehensions which you so forcibly ex-
press did not increase mine. You know how
sincerely and earnestly I cave for years depre-
cated tbe causes which, if not removed, I fore-
saw must produce tbe fearful crisis which is
now upon us; and I know how ineffectual, in
this section, have been all warnings oft, patriot-
ism and ordinary forecast. Now, forihe first
time, men are compelled to open their eye*, as
if aroused from strange delusion, upon a full
view of the nearness and magnitude of impend-
ing calamities. It is worse than idle~-it is fool-
hardy—to discuss tbe qustjem of probable rel-
ative suffering and loss in different sections of
the Union. In esse of disruption, we shall all
be involved in eommon financial embarrass-
ment and ruin, and, I fear, ia common destruc-
tion, so much more appalling than any attend-
ant upon mere sacnSce of property, that ooe
