WHEAT, BREAD, SpEcULAT"Rs.-Ohaer 'his
head were given few hints on MONDAY, as 10
wha, nigh, be expected to be the tate OF 'ho'e
who dr. practising IN commercial and mrrcan'
tile affairs without being acquainted with Inc
real business Of merchants, according 10 '"e
old English accep alton Of the term Merehan'
Those in England and France, who are red"y
merchants, are never caught by the gu'iinS
tricks of the produce brokers of Ihose coun>
tries.
See the approach of events as above predict
ed. The news by The New York shows that
already there had arrived from the continent
and from other places hundreds OF thousands
of bushel, Of wheat and grain, simply on &C
count Of the prospect in the English market
and that the price was so much reduced AREA
DIV, as to threaten immense losses 10 the guHs B.
With us it will be even worse Than with the
continental grain owner, as ne Will be able 10
take away his grain from England, and carry
it home with loss Of freigh only.
Now here, what difference! merchant,
who would have given tDo dollars bushel Tor
a cargo Of wheat, and sent it 10 England, find
ing il worth 20 him here, after paying duty and
charges, only 80 cents, would then bring 1t back,
what would be his fate!
Any one may answer for it, that, by the time
he would return with his cargo the market
would meet him here at half its present price.
Su that, whichever way you place the specu'
la,or, ne would find that he had Lac he'd the true
knowledge necessary for well qualified
MERCHANT.

A CHERUB.


Beautiful thing, with thine eye oflght,
And thy brow of cloudiess beauty bright,
Gazing for ave on the sapphire throne
or Him who dwelleth in light, alon-,
Art thou hasting now on that golden wing,
With the burning seraph choir to sing,
Or STOPPING to earth, in thy gentlcness,
Our dsrkling path to cheer and bless
Beautiful thing, thou art come in love,
With gentle gales from that world above
Breathing of pureness breathing OF bliss,
Bearing our spirits away from this,
To the better thoughts, to the brighter skies,
Where Heavens unclouded sunshine lies,
Winning, our hearts, by blessed guile,
With that infant look, and angel SMILE
Beautiful thing! thou art come in Joy,
With the look, with the voice of our darling boy,
Him that was torn from the BILE ding hearts
He had twined about with his infant arts,
TO dwell, from sin and from sorrow far,
IN the golden orb of his little star
There he reioceth, while We, oh! we
Long TO be happy and safe Us he.
Beautiful thing! thou art come in peace,
Kidding our doubts and Our fears to Cease.
wiping the tears that unbidden, start,
From their fountain deep, in the broken heart,
Cheering US still, on our weary way,
Lest our hearts should faint, feet should stray
Till crowned for the conquest, at last we shall be-
Beautiful thing, with our boy and thee!
