Old Age sits bent on his iron-grey steed;
Youth rides erect on his-coiirscr black;
A rid liiile he thinks in his reckless speed,
Old Age comes on intbe very same track.
And on Youth goes with his cheek like the rose.
And his radiant eyes and his raveuliair;
And his laugh betrays how little he knows
Of Age, and his sure companion, Care.
The courser black is put to his speed,
And Ago plotls on in arpiicler way,
And little Yoiiili tliiixks that the iron—grcy slccd
Approaclics him iicarcr ciery day.

THE SAVINGS’ BA1‘£K.
" The .Spirit oft/ic Age is Bcrzecolc.-7zco.i7’
Every day in France, new, useful audio-
genious esiablishments arise. Some are occu-
pied in increasing the power and perfection of
manufactories. others turn» ,llici_r aiieiiiioii to
agriciilturi-. and the arts.
All the energies of man seemed to be called
forth to increase the progress of civilization and
human happiness; but nothing contributes more
to the comfort and improvement ofthe laboring
classes ilian the Savings’ Bank. People may
there safely place the money they have earned
over their present wants, secured by commercial
honor, and managed by ilie highest financial
economy, and thus provide for the future.
This admirable institution saves every day the
expenses of sell‘-indulgence or dissipation, and
gives the excellent habit of regulating and en-
riching ourselves. It is established in the Rue
de la Villicrs, near the Bank of France, and is
open on every Sunday from ‘J to 2 o’cloi-k. A
Commissary of the atlininistralion presides over
it; and people may place there from .9. to 50
francs, which is put to use, and pays an interest
every six iiiontlis without any expense to those
who wish to save thus, their surplus moiicy.
It is managed by persons employed in the Bank
of France, who tinder the surveillance ofa per-
son disiinguislicd by rank and fortune, rcceivcs
the numerous deposits that are made by all
classes. ' ‘
Nothing can be more interesting to the
philanthropist than this sight; ariizans and
workmen who bring not only that which has
been saved by self-denial, but sometimes that
which has been taken from their wants. There
you_ may see an old porter, increasing every
month his little treasure, which gsballsave him,
when he is old and infirm, from going into a
hospital. Here you may see a young woman
bringing her earnings, that she may have some-
thing towards house keeping. On this side is a
rich old man, who wislies to increase the pros-
perity of the useful cstablisliiiienfby a‘ sum
that shall cause his name to be remen'iberc‘d and
blessed. On the other a poor Savoyard‘, who
takes from hispnrse ilie gains of his bestdays, as
an olfering to his old mother. Among them a
fzisliiouable youngmau is sometimes seen, with
the winnings of the evening before, which he
brings as the fruit of his resolution to break _lhe
direful passion of gaining. This multitude of
people, presenting in one hand tliiéir money, and
with the oilier a small book, in which are in-
scribed the sums placcd in the bank, appears
like a swarm of iiidiisirioiis bees, who come to
their hive lOa(l€Ll:. with the fruit of their labors,
and murmuring with pleasure of successf
Among the persons who rarely failed to brin'g
something every Sunday, to add to a capital al-
ready formed, a man named Laurent was
noticed. He was an engraver of metals; his
face carried an expression of miscliief;‘but it
was at the same time intellectual; his person
indicated either extreme poverty or avarice.
He "carried two small books, -in which was
regularly entered the sum he brought; some-
times it was small.,at oilicrs large ;_and whicli
he placed in the bank with an Cal‘l1CSll1L‘..‘e‘S and
avidity that denoted an aidcnt desire for ac-
cumulaiioii. As the crowd was always great,
and .as it was necessary to go at an earlyhour
to save time, he always carried his breakllist in
his pocket; it generally consisted ofa small rye
loaf moistened wiili barley __water.; 3 sons were
sullicient to procure it. He ordinarily dined at
11 o’clock, at a cheap restaurant, who lived be-
low him in the same building. \Ve may be-
lieve that his personal goods were analogous "to
his life. However he always had a good bed
and clean- linen, and ‘took, , every morning, a
glass of wine. I ’
People were the more astoiiislicdat'liis‘parsi-

Laurent, wlio.had foreseen this catastrophe,
appeared neither surprised nor alllicted by it;
indeed, some persons thought he enjoyed a
secret pleasure at the fall of his brother-in-law.
The latter now entirely changed his manners
towards Laurent; he did not blush, as former-

his patched over-coal, his leather cap, his puma-
looiis of cotton velvet, or his large shoes, made
stronger by iron nails; it was now, my good
brother here, my dear Laurent there. He went
to see him every Sunday, praised his domestic
habits. congratulated him on having so little to
do in the world, and even admired his economy;
but all did not produce any result. Laurent, re-
inained without the least expression of concern
in his countenance, aiiil with a perfect coldness

‘It must iioi he,’ cried he with an cxprcssioii of

iiiilillbreiice aiiil parsimony. Flora and Leila
felt a great alleciion for their uncle, and‘ paid
him every respectful attention. Laurent left his
garrei, and took decent apariiizeiiis in the same
house with his sister. It was a greatdisiaiice
from ilie one in which he had worked during
iwciity-one years; but it suiicd his years io
work by the piece, and it also enabled him to
fulfill better the duties, he had assumed of re-
placing the father of the orphans. ’ . '
This reunion made the happiness of all who
composed it; and Madame Duliainel and. her
daughieis were soon enabled to open a work

Tliev hail gained, by their skill and industry,
the patronage oftlie lfirst tiierchaiits of the city,
and principally one who liveil in the Rue aux
Feris, and who conducted liiinselfa large busi-

Dnliamel, and gave them his most important
orders. Laurent, on his part, being occupied
with his gravcr, improved all his time, but bid
his gains as much as possible f_ro_rn the family.
He ocnupied. two: small rooms in the fourlli
story, from which he only came down at meals;
and consecrating all his time to labor, all in the
house believed it was necessary forghitri to do so,
and which gave him an opportunity ofincreasing
his riclics unknown to any one.
However, all saw a change in him! the old
patched coat was replaced by a blue- clothioiie,
ton velvet pautalooris by woollen and nankeen;
and his shoes, although not very thin, were

Flora and Leila were now twenty years of
age ; they carried upon their faces the expres-
sion ol intellect, wliich reflected the traces of an
early good education. Their business increased
every day, the work being distinguislied by a
taste wliicli enabled them to bring it to an un-
common degree of perfection. The purity ol
their. morals, and the dignity which they re-
taincd of young persons who had been well
brought up, contr.buted to attract the public
esteem. The rich fringe mercliant, who came
frequently to visit them, was charmed by the
union wlzicli subsisted between the two sisters,
and the respectful attention wiih which iliey
treated the mother and uncle. He found a re-
laxation from the cares of business a.t their house
in the evening, and they soon became so intimate
as to confide to each other their hopes and pros-
