All's Well.
Sweet voice hope, thy fine discourse.
Foretold not half life's good to me,
Thv painter, fancy, hath not force
To show how sweet it is to be
Thy witching dream,
. ?Ana pictured scheme,
To match the fact stMl wants the power
Thy promise bravo,
From birth to grave,
Life's boon may beggar in an hour.
"Ask and receive," 'tis sweetly said ;
Yet what to ask for, know I not ;
For wish is worsted, hope outspod,
And aye to thanks returns my thought.
H ? would pray,
I've naught to say,
But this, that God may be God still ;
To him to Uve
Is still to give,
And sweeter than my wish /Iis will.
G wealth of life beyond til bonnd !
Eternity each jnoment given 1
What plummet may the present sound ?
Who promises a future Heaven ?
Or glad or grieved,
Gppressed, relieved,
In blackest night or brightest day,
Still pours the flood
Of golden, Good.
And moro than heart-full fills me aye.
My wealth i? common ; I possess
-No potty province, hut tho whole ;
What's minc alone is minc far loss ?
Than troasure shared by every soul.
Talk not of store,
Minions or more,
Or value which the purso may hold,
But this, divine
I own the minc
Whoso grains outweigh a planet's gold !
I have a stake in every star,
In every beam that fills tho day ;
All hearts of men my coffers arc,
My ores arterial tides convoy.
The fields, the skies,
And sweet replies
Of thought to thought, arc my gold dust
Tho oaks, the brooks,
And speaking looks
Of lover's faith and friendship's trust.
Life's youngest tide's joy-brimming flow
For Him who lives above all years
Who all immortal, makes thc Aro?o,
And is not taken in time's arrears.
His life's a hymn
The Seraphim
Might hark to hear, or help to sing ;
And to his soul
The boundless Wholo
Its beauty all doth daily bring.
" All mine is thine," tho sky-soul saith,
"The wealth I am, must thou become ;
Richer and richer, breath by breath
m Immortal gain-immortal room ! "
And since all His
Mine also is,
Life's gifte outrun my fancies_fap-;-' "
A nd down the dlGam '
In larger stream,
As morning drinking the Morning Star 1
A Tiresome Guest.
"HE SITS AND "WILL FOREVER SIT."
There is belonging to the race of
human bipeds, a sort of troublesome
being, who setting no value on their
own time, care but very little how
much they trespass upon that of their
more industrious neighbors. They are
of stay-forever persons, who,
" "ted over the whole world
commence again and
from beginning to
^ey are ready to take
li they sit, and
"enough to fully
st quoted. Beside
"lang on, thero
|eso persons a
slowness in
leled with the
lace. To give a
this sitting pro
ltroduce a story of
Llady:
seed tho beat of that ere
Captain Spinout," said" alie; "would
you believe it, he called at our house
last night, just as I had done milking,
and wanted to borrow my brass keetle
his wife to make apple sauce in.
h yes, says I, she may have it and
elcome, Captain Spinout; and I went
rectly, and fotched it out of the
ck room, and set it down beside
^T^'?ll, presently our tea was
dy, and I couldn't do no more than
ax him to tako*tea with us. Oh no,
he said he couldn't stay a minute, but,
however, he concluded he'd take a
drink of cider with my husband; atid
so he did. Well, after I'd done tea,
I took my knitting work and sot
down, till I rather thought it high
time that all honest people should bo
a bed. Bu* Captain Spinout had for?
got his'hurry and thar ho was still
-settin and talkin with my husband as
fast as ever. I hate above all things
to be rude, but I couldn't help hintin
to the Captain that it was growin
late, and may be bis wife was waitin
for tho keetle. But ho did not seem
to take the hint at all-thar he sot,
' and sot, and sot.
4 Tilidin that words wouldn't have
any effect, I next rolled up my knit?
ting work, sot back tho cheers, and
told the gals it was time to go to bed.
But tho Captain didn't mind it no
than if it had been the bite of a
-but thar he sot, and sot, and
'ell, next, I pulled off my shoes,
sd* iny feet, as I commonly do
foro goin to bed; but the Cap
i't mind it no more than
j^at all-thar he sot, and sot,
kivered up the fire, and
ouldn't help takin tho hint;
he didn't take no notice
not the least in tho world
he sot, and sot, and sot.
I, you're pretty slow at
Captain Spinout; so I
ainly, that I tho't it was
cakin always to my hus
so as I tho't the Cap
help takin it to himself
not do no good at all
t, and sot, and sot.
t no likelihood of
axed him to stay all
tie sed ho couldn't
seein thar war n't
i anything, I went to
uld you think i?,
mornin, as sur
as you're alive, there Was Captain
Spinout settin j ist where I left him
the night before-and thar," conclud?
ed the old lady, hiting up her hands in
a despairing attitude-"and thar he
sot, and sot, and sot."
COTTON-STEAI?TNG IN NEW YORK.-It
would seem, from the following ex?
tract, taken from the New York Price
Current* and Commercial List, that
there are cotton thieves elsewhere J
than in the South. .^Who would have
thought it ?
We understand that the Now Or?
leans shippers hesitate about sending
cotton to this market, owing to the
high charges current here for cartage,
storage and insurance, and owing to
the loss resulting from theft. In seve?
ral instance^ within our knowledge,
captains of vessels which have beer,
sent out to New Orleans to load for
New York, have telegraphed for per?
mission to load for Liverpool direct,
shippers refusing to send their cotton
here for reasons enumerated above.
It is to be hoped that this important
trade will not be driven from our
city by any such causes, and we trust
that steps will ere long bo taken to
render the expenses of handling, etc.,
less onerous. As to the matter of
pilfering, it is done with impunity. It
1 is no uncommon thing to see a half
dozen women congregated in the vi?
cinity of a lot of cotton which is
being handlec>by laborers, who per?
mit them to fill their aprons and stuff |
their clothes full without remon?
strance. In this way a good deal of
cotton may be extracted from a bale,
especially if it is loosely put up, or
the bagging becomes worn out.
Tho London Economist, a very high
authority in matters of finance and
commerce, has in it an elaborate
article headed, "The Sound State of
American Banking at Present," in
which our national system is tho?
roughly analyzed and exposed for the
people of England, a comparison
drawn between it and their own sys?
tem, and the conclusion candi??y and
unequivocally stat^U ?hat the banks
of the United States ' "evince amazing
J>olMity; perhaps no banks in the
world on the same scale show as
much."
HARD ON BANCROFT.-The London
Church Times characterizes that por?
tion of Mr. Bancroft's oration on
President Lincoln, in which he refers
to foreign Governments as "an in?
sulting attack on the European pow?
ers generally," and "a piece of cha?
racteristic Yankee brutality." Of
Mr. Bancroft's "History of the United
States," the Church Times states that
"for accuracy and modesty it rivals
the celebrated work of Baron Mun?
chausen."
CORN AND PEACH.-Within the
limits of the forty-six Counties com?
posing this, the fourth revenue col?
lector's district, says the Atlanta
Intelligencer, there are over 300 dis?
tilleries. No wonder "corn" and
"peach" are abundant. But for tho
tax imposed upon these articles, they
would be "cheal) as dirt," and, as a
friend at our elbow suggests, not any
better.
It is not labor that kills men; it is
worry. Work is healthy; you can
hardly put more upon a man than he
can bear. Worry is rust upon the
blade. It is not the revolution that
destroys the machinery, but the fric?
tion. _ Fear secretes acid; but lovo
and trust are sweet juices.
Labor is said to be worth in Mexico
from eight dollars to fifteen dollars a
day. Out of a week the contractor
can hope to get three days of good
work. Flo"1* is worth forty-five dol?
lars a barrei, uni meal fifteen dollars.
Living is generally very cheap.
