The Secretary of the Treasury has not yet
given notice of any intention to withdraw this
popular Loan from Sale at Par, and until ten
days notice is
. given, the undersigned, as
"General . Subscription Agent," will continue
to supply the public.
Tire whole amount of the Loan authorized
is Five HUndred Millions of Dollars. Nearly
Four Hundred Millions have been already sub
scribed for and paid into the Treasury, mostly
within the last seven months. The large de- .
mand from abroad, and the rapidly increasing
home demand for use as the basis for circula
tion by National Banking Associations now
organizing in all parts of the country, will, iu
a very short period;' absorb the balance.—
Sales have lately ranged from ten to fifteen
millions weekly, frequently exceeding thee
millions daily, and as it is well known that
the Secretary of the Treasury has ample and
unfailing resources in the Duties on Jurporis
arid Internal Revenues, and in tbe issue of
the Interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury
Notes, it is almost a certainty that he will not
find it necessary, for a long time to come, to
seek a market for any other long or permanent
Loans, the Interest and Principal of which are
PAYABLE IN GOLD. • '
Prudence and self-interest must fore , e
minds of those contemplating the form. on of
National Banking Associations, as weft as the
minds of all who have idle money on their
hands, to the prompt conclusion that they
should lose no time in subscribing to this most
popular Loan. It will soon be beyond their
reach, and advance to a handsome premium,
as was the result with the "Seven Thirty"
Loan, when it was all sold and could no long
er be subscribed for at par.
It is a Six Per Cent. Loan, the Interest and
Principal payable in Coin, thus yielding over
Nine.per Cent. per annum at the present rate
of premium on coin.
The Government requires all duties on im
ports to be paid in Coin ; these duties have for
a long time past amounted to over a Quarter
of a Million of Dollars daily, a sum nearly
three times greater than that required in the
paymenOf the interest on all the 5.20's and
other permanent Loans. So that it is
.hoped
that the surplus Cuin in the Treasury, at no
distant day, will enable the United States to
resume specie payments upon all liabilitfes.
The Loan is called 5-20 from the fact that
whilst the Bonds may run for 26 years t yet
the Government has a right to pay them off in
Gold at par, at any time after 5 years.
Me Interest'is paid haif-pearty, viz : on the
first days of November and May.

Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which,
arc payable to twarer, and are $5O, $lOO,
$5OO, and 01000 ; or Registered Bonds of same
denominations, and in addition, $5,000, and
$lO,OOO. For Banking , purposes and for in
vestments of TrUst.mornes the ReglitereW
Bonds are preferable.
These 5-20's cannot be taxed by States; ci
ties, towns or counties, and the Government
tax on them is only one-and-a-half per cent.,
on the amount of income, when the income
of the holder exceeds Wm - Hundred dollars per
annum ; ,all other investments, such as income
from Mortgages, Railroad Stock and Bonds,
etc.,
must pay from three to five per cent tax
on the income.
Banks and Bankers throughout the Country
will continue to dispose of theßonds ; and all
orders by mail, or otherwise promptly attend
ed to.
The inconvenience of a few days' delay in
the delivery of the Bonds is unavoidable, the
demand being so great; but as interest com
mences from the day of subscription, no lossie
oecasionedotrol every effort is being made to
diminish the, delay. JAY COOKE,

THE WOMAN I LOVE. •
BY " LELIA woLrz."
My love is a lady, who talks viith her eyes,'
And tells you a volume in'one of her sighs;.
her voice is so sweetiand.her face isso fair,.—
And the light loves to.hide in the folds of her
hair;
" But, she's hunian," and is not 'beauty, or
dove,—
Only a plain little wominl—"the woman I
love."
A brave, proud spirit dwells in her breast,—
Hut her patience can still its wildest unrest, , , 7 ,
She would scorn to do's deliberate wrong, 7 -.
Her heiirt always dictates the words cid her
tongue ;-
"But; she 'only is humtin,"—theuph her "acts

Her a glorious woman !—''the woman I love."
My lore tares not for jewels and wealth, -
Her only jewels,—her bright eyes andthealth ;

And her "rosy cheeks" paled with watching

"For, she only is human ;"—andikthing aticive
'A sorrowing woman !—"the woman I rove."
V,ire seen the ealm,face, she wears with the gay,
Glow 'dark with dietrees. and wild with dia-
may;
But then she would bow it, in inguiehing
prayer,
And when it looked•up, what alight it would
GEM
So, though she is human,—an angel above

Life fa glorious to her, thou;!, circled in tears!
She streng'tliens weak hearts, and saddened

For those•whom she loves, she's a tenderly
