irv "boiuW' When I *ca a young lady? a. beauty ? Wtto'is m>t a poor victim of firidvy Bui who faithfully docs every duty And drawn friendship and love to hit Hide ; When I sec her the sick one caressing With comforts unstinted und free, Who knows what is right without guessing? She's the one I've been waiting to see. When I see a bright, active young fellow, Who is trying to do what is right, IJ'ho never gets fijorAdly "mellow," Or conies home most outrageously "tight," When I see that he's earnestly trying To be what ft man ought to be, It' hen he lights for success, self-relying? He's the Oho I've been wuitiug to see. H'hen I haven't a greenback about me^ Or even a cent to my name, H'hen my friends can do better without me, 'Cause my clothes arc too shabby and plain ; Should I ever, by chance be befriended, And from poverty's curse beset free? Should the hand of a friend be extended, That's" the friend I've been waiting to see. Thk Future op American Cotton. ?It 1ms been asked why, in view of the present, favorable crop prospects, prices for the full and early winter months re main so high. The explanation, as we understand it, i3 very simple. First.?The world needs the coming year 4,000,000 bales of American cotton. Anything less than that will be a short crop. The experience of the past two years has established that faet and every one in tho trade admits it. Of course under such circumstances, and so early in the season, with the future waether and oiiier conditions affecting the crop so uncertain, few would be found to sell on the basis of an excessive crop. Second.?-Notwithstanding, the present visible supply shows an increase over last year, probably 300 bales of tho present European stock is of so poor a quality as to bo of little use. Then, again, the average weight is considerably less than a year ago, on account of tho smaller proportion of American and the larger proportion of Brazil and India staple. Consequently it is claimed that of availa ble cotton (unless consumption is reduc ed) there will be an actual scarcity when our next crop begins to come in. Third.?The corner which has been developed for the Summer months, un doubtedly has had and i.= having an in fluence upon the prices for the Full and early Winter mouthy but not to the ex tent, weimagiue, that some suppose. Fourth.?Of course if, as the Summer progresses, our crop reports continue to improve, spinners will he economical iu the use of the American staple, and will run on their, reserves to the very extreme limit; aud in that case sellers will most likely be found at low rates. A Baby Soliloquy. I am here. And if this is what they call the world, I don't think much of it. It's very flannely, and smells of paregoric. It's u d reu fill light world, too, and makes me blind, I tell you. And I don't know what to do with my hands; 1 think I'll dig with my fists in my eyes. No, I won't. I'll scrabble at the corner of my blanket and chew it up, and then I'll holler. And the more paregoric they give me, the louder I'll yell. The old nurse puts the spoon in the coiner of my mouth in a very uneasy way, and keeps tasting my iniik all the whi'e. She spilled snuff in it last night, und, when i holler ed, she trotted me. That comes of being a two days' old baby. Never mind, when I'm a man, I'll pay her buck. I found out to-day who I am. I heard some folks say: "Hush, don't wake up E.rtmeline's baby." That's inc. And I suppose that pretty, white-laced woman over on the pillows is Einmclinc. I was mistaken, a chap just now wan ted to see Bob's baby, looked at me, and' said I ''was a funny little toad, and look ed just like Bob." He smelt of cigars, and I'm not used to them. 1 wonder who else I belong to ? Yes, there's an other one?that's "Clannin." Emmelino held me against her soft cheek and said : "It was G an ma's baby, so it was." I. don't know who I belong to*; but I'll holler, and find out. There comes Snuffy. The idea of giving babies catnip-tea when they are crying for information! I'm going to' sleep. I wonder if I look red in the face? AVhy won't my hands go where I want them to? Queen Victoria has just completed her 53d year. The ittortgage Cancelled. In a lawveiVo 6ffice, in :i remote part M'Conneclicu;, laid a mortgage for eleven' TVumlrSd dollars, which was within a few dnysolg being, dt\e. One morning, the man oh whose, place tin; mortgage wits held, called and inquired if the payment could be put off for a short time. He was somewhat advanced in life, and very intemperate. The lawyer, in reply to his inquiries, said that the man who held the mortgage wanted his money?thathewns sorry, but it could not he extended. The tears canto in the old man's eyes, and af ter standing a few moments, a perfect image of despair, he turned and left the oflice. He returned home, believing that in a few days, his aged and infirm wife and invalid daughter would have to <pul the root which had so long sheltered them, and seek a home he knew uot where. He could say nothing to them about it, it wotdd cause them so much grief. The mortgage became due, and in the morning early the farmer again repaired to the lawyer's office. He pleaded for a Ihne, but to no pur pose. Overcome with emotion, the old man sunk into a chair, and there sat for two hours, apparently unconscious of| anything that was passing around- him, when a carriage drove up to the door, and a lady stepped from it. She enter ed the office. After standing a few mo ments eyeing the old man with interest and emotion, she spoke. The old man looked up. "Father, how do you do?" "Oh, Sarah, T am well, hut sad. I am glad to sec you, but sorry for your aged mother and invalid sister; I cannot re turn to them, for it will be to tell them they have no home, and this I cannot bear. It will kill your poor mother.'' "Father, futhcr," said the ? tughtcr, "could you live a tcmporatc man if this were paid ?" "Yes, oh yes 1 I would ; hut it cannot he, for 1 have nothing to pay it with." "Now sign the pledge, and hciv is the money." The old man put his name to the re deeming, the saving pledge, and departed to his home with a happy heart. The daughter had saved the eleven hundred dollars by working in n factory. The Mahommednns are actively en gaged in suppressing the use of inloxi catintr beverages.

Since its Organization this company has received in premiums from it? ixdicv-h'olders the sum of $1,517,000.
