Their deposits wereleft over nightin the bank,—In a bank without whisper of fault:The amounts to their credit were placed on the books,And were left over night in the vault.To their credit, I say it, the bank was locked tight,Guarding thus against fire and theft;A patrol on the walk, and a new 'lectric light,Throwing beams to therightand theleft.*****Just here the cashier heleft over night,Taking all but the house and the soil;And thelongand theshortof the story is this,—He wastoo longof stocks—shortof oil.A receiver was called, and he looked o'er the wreck,Andreceivedthose who called—thus bereft."Have you nothing left over?" they timidly ask:He answers, "Yes, over the left."W.
