WOOL. The sales during the week
have been considerable at former prices, say
40 10 so cts for fine Woods, and 80 to 40
CTS for graded wool, and $1,000 lbs have
been sold and delivered. This is the finest
and cleanest clipping of wool which has ev-
err been made in our country, and is intrin-

is difficult to get cash al these low and ru-

AMERICAN INDUSTRY is prob.

sues il not rs u means Of procuring for
himself and family the necessary comforts
OF life, bnt rs tho fountain Of all human fe-
licity. From the earliest hour in the

are lhronged by men OF all trades and
professions, each following his vocation
like a perpetual mobile, as il he never
dreamed oi cessation from labor, or the

feeling that frequently passes like cloud
over the spirits 1t comes upon the soul
in the busy hustle Of lie, IN the social cir
Gle, and in the calm and silent retreats OF
solitude. Its powers are alike supreme
over the weak aud iron hearted. At one
time it is caused by the fitting of a
single thought across the mind {; again
the sound will come booming across the
ocean Of memory, gloomy and solemn as
the death knelI, overshadowing all the
bright hopes and sunny feelings Of the
heart. Who describe it, and yet who
has not felt its bewildcring influence p
Still it is delicious sort 'of sorrow /; and
Iik cloud dimming the sunshine Of a
river, although causing a momentary
shade Of gloom, it enhances the beauty Of
returning brightness. 1t is in moments
like these that the pious mind rises from
the sorded interests Of this sublunary
world, and ascends to full communion with
it's Maker. The past will fit across the
memory, mourniul and sweet, like :he
low and lingering tones Of distant music
the present, like The rush ofmIghty winds,
yet noiseless as the slumber OF an unwak-
ened echo and the future spreads the
soft and downy pillow Of the tomb, when
the spirit Is to leave this tenement Of
clay, and enter the portals that open 10
the felicity of an eternal Immortality.
