ZION'S BANK;
OR, it LE I'nOMISES SECURED TO ALL
BELIEVERS.
(2 COR, 3.; 20).
Thiele my never failing Bank,
My more than golden store—
No earthly bank is half so rich ;
Bow can 1 then be poor ?
'Tis when m stook is spent and gone,
And T without a groat,
I'm glad to hasten to my Bank,
And beg a little Note.
Sometimes my Banker, smiling, says,
"Why don't you oftener come?
And when you draw a little bill
Why not a larger sum ?
'NMI live so niggardly and poor?
Thy Bank contains a plenty ;
Why come and take a One Pound Note,
When you can have a twenty ?"
Nay, Twenty Thousand ten times told.
Is but atrifling sum,
To what any Bank contains for tee,
Secure in God the Son !
Since, then, niy Banker is so rich,
I have xo need to borrow ;
But live upon my notes to -day,
And draw again to -morrow.
I've been a thousand times before,
And never was rejected
Those notes can never be refused
They are by grace accepted.
All forged Notes will be refused,
The Filen will them detect—
While those that deal in forged Notes,
Prove they're not God's, Elect.
'Tis only the beloved ones,
Redeemed by precious blood,
That ever had a Note to bring --
They are the gift of God.
Thousands of ransomed sinners fear
They have no Note at all—
Because they feel their misery
And ruin by the Fall.
Though num'rous Notes lay scattered
round,
All signed, and sealed, and free
Yet many a doubting soul will say,
"Ali, they are not for me !'t
Base unbelief will lead the soul
To say what is not true ; -
I tell the poor self -emptied soul,
"These Notes belong to you !"
Shall all the Banks in England break,
--The Bank of England smash,
Bring all your Notes to Zion's Bank,
You're sure to get you're cash.
'Nay if you have but one small Note,
Fear not to bring. it in—
Come" boldly to the Bank of Grace,
The Banker is within.
I'll go again, I need not fear,
My Notes should be rejected,
Sometimes my banker gives me more
Than asked for or expected.
Sometimes I've felt a little proud,
I managed things so clever ;
Perhaps before the day was gone
I felt as poor as ever. °
Sometimes, witublushes in my face,

In the last three years, said, I, you

yourself into that condition su favor-

Well, let us. hope that he may, I
said cheerfully;, -I believe you are his

Yes ; so he says. But while he
lives I cannot expect anything. He
believes spare diet, thin clothes, and
his,own shining example are all that
I can ,possibly require in the struggle
for wealth. Did you ever know a
man whom blind, blundering look had'

ing patience and frugality to . the

In short, while endeavoring to avoid
an appearance of egot;isz i:1 called his
attention to the fact primarily he had

unless it turned out badly. I believe
that I understand the duties and re•

1 had known Jack to have spasms
of economy before. i have seen him
buy a pair of shoes for 1$6 instead: of
$S, as he had •first intended ; and for
the next six weeks whenever he had
an inclination to spend $2 be did so,
because after all, it was oily the '$2
which he• had saved on .the shoes;
He really was frugal in this way ; he
could make the thought of a little
saving last through more extravae
games than any other maxi I ever saw.
And ,sometimes he driied his fru-
gality into 'smell things. Hp wouldn't'
think of smoking a 25 cents cigar
after dinner; he would buy three for
half a dollar and smoke two .of them.
• Knowing him 'so well,i wasanxiotis
to hear the story of the little flank,
and I had no idaa that it wbuld be
necessary, to wait a year for it. I felt
reasonably sure that a financial •panic
would overtake that institution long
before its charter ran out. ;It was in
November that I had the first conver-
sation with him about it. Last week
he came to see me again ; and d with a
countenance in which piffle and
humility struggled for the mastery, he
presented the first (and last) annual
report of theLeigh-Hartley institutior,
of savings.
1 won't hear anybody sly a word
against • that bank, said he.: It was
a splendid idea, and most convenient
thing that ever was. It made money,
too, at the start. I made ; it repaint

anyway.

insisted,

Howdy, when I bad digested tiara
contents of that document 1 felt small
enough to crawl thorough the little bole
in the top of the bank. Et was a mem-
orandum which• the dear girl had been
keeping, and it slimed that I had
overdrawn my accodnt $79.50. Noth-
