This a cry from the tortured heart of Davidâ€"a cry from one in need to a friend indeed. Poor, in very truth, is he who calls no man friend, but poorer he who is no man’s friend. This would be a bleak world with- out affection, and hence the master has established, as a primal source of all solace, a fountain of love springing up perennially 1n Himself. The fairest and most fragrant flower of that love is inseparable from friendship. The friends we have tried and not found wanting are the friends we trust, and where the trial of friendship has been long- est our trust is greatest, and so old friends are best. OUR TRUEST FRIEND.

He himself put down the amount Jewels were his specialty, and he was rcspons1ble, elther directly or beries in that line which took place within the last thirty years pre- ceding his death. His methods were an various as they were ingenious. For example, on one occasion he walked out of a bank with S175,- 000 worth of trinkets belonging to a wellâ€"known actress, getting posses- sion of them by the simple expedi- ent of presenting a forged order for their delivery. His most sensational coup, how- ever, was his theft of $450,000 worth of diamonds belonging to the pro- prietors of the Kimberley mines. He paid several visits to South Africa to prepare the ground, and spent over $150,000 while there with the same object. As a result, no single detail of his carefully laid plans miscarried. He even succeeded in selling the stolen gems to their law- ful owners in Hatton Garden, with- out incurring suspicion. JAIL WITII ONLY TWO CELLS. The Smallest Prison in the World is That of Sark.

It is some years since the prison was called into requisition, says the Strand, and on the last occasion the bolt was found to be so rusty that it had to be broken before the door could be opened. The prisonâ€" er was then put in, left allnight with the door open and made no attempt to escape. On another occasion a young Eng- lish servant who had stolen some clothes was sentenced to three days imprisonment. The prospect so terrified her that the authorities took pity on her loneliness and conâ€" . sidcrately left the cell open.

The farâ€"seeing advocates of Ca- nadian Union probably hardly reaâ€" lized half a century ago what a service they were rendering to Canada’s future the young united Dominion with the foundation of a Banking System which has been developed into the greatest in the world with no exâ€" ceptions. The System has faults, but these are more academic than practical, and if past progress is any criterion the faults, that now exist will disappear in the future. The services which our banking System has rendered to the Domin-, ion as a whole, and to individual. Canadians, should be more tnor-i oughly appreciated by the Canadian people. 3 One of the strongest units in our Banking System is the Dominion Bank, which presented its semi-an- nual statement to the public a few days ago. Despite the fact that this statement covered a period, part of which was characterized by ex-‘_ treme financial stress and the bal- ance- by very low money rates, the profits of this great Institution for the half year, although some Four~ teen Thousand Dollars less than the. previous half year, are still at the, rate of 151/2 p. c. The circulation has increased about a quarter of a million dollars; deposits have in-! creased nearly six million and have now reached the total of over forty-i one millions; cash assets show ani increase of nearly one and a halfl million, and the immediate avail-t able assets an increase of nearly six million with an increase of about the same amount in the total. assets, which now total fiftyâ€"three and a half millions. ' This is a most satisfactOry state-i ment, and one on which the share-, holders may congratulate them- selves heartily, reflecting, as it does, most careful and progressive management.
