UNION COLLEGE, SEPT. 5, 1924.
Ma. EDIron-The following little ballad, from
the pen of CRoAKGR & Co. pleases me well, that
cannotresst the temptation giving youa transcript

session, and the ofener read or sing it. the more

The world is bright before thee,
Its summer flowers are thine,
Its calm blue sky is DER thee,
Thy bosom, pleasures shrine;
And thine the sunbeam, given
TO natures morning hour,
Pure, warm, as when from heaven
1t burst on Eden's bower.
There is a song Of sorrow,
The death-dirge of the gay,
That tells, ere dawn of morrow,
These charms may melt away
That suns bright beam be shaded,
That SKY be blue no more,
The summer flowers be faded,
And youth warm promise DER.
Believe il not, though lonely
The evening home may be;
Though bea,ity's bark can only
Float on the summers sea;
Though time thy bloom is stealing,
There's still beyond his art,
The whichever wreath of teeljng,
The sunbeam of the heart

The bad season baving set in, which
prevents purchasers from coming down,
business has become very dull. Although
the stock of goods on hand is not exlen.
sve, yet very few sales can be made at
this moment with any profit.
sTbe markets in the interior are also
supplied-but we have no DOUBT, that to-
wards tall, when the busy season beg ms
again, the present stock will have run off,
and prices much improve. particularly OF
German and French linens, French bran
dy, wine, and French and Italian paper.
AS to the cotton goods, the stock on
hand IS too heavy, and will require lon
ger time; as the loss on present sales is
great, we presume the importatioDs will
be much reduced, and give room tor i'm
provement.
with regard TO the tranquility Of the
country, we are sorry TO observe, that tie
reports abroad are greatly exaggerated.-
Although several factions are said to exist,
yet we are very confident, none will ever

peace and harmony which exists between
