PRICE OF FLOUR,

The U. States Bank was chartered ia
1916, in which year, the price of -four
was 1913 per barrel. Immediately af.
ter that Institution commenced opera
tions, the price advanced, and in May,
1917. it was as high as tourtesn and a
half dollars q barrel. In five months al
ter, il had declined to SO, and then a.
gain advanced, until August, 1918, when
it began to fall again; aud in March,
1921, il was as low as three and three
fowths dollars a barrel-one dollar
and twelve and half cents lower than
il is at the presen. time. And all this
under the benign iuauehce Of the great
Regulator.
la 1923 it was up 10 $3.50; in 1926
down 10 S4,25--still lower than at pres.
ent. In 1929 it was as high as $S, ,25;
in 1880 down again to 4 dollars 25cts.
In April 1884 1t sold for 4dol. 25cts.
These facts are drawn from table
showing the price of Flour a, Philadel-
phia in each month from the year 1885
to the year 1884, inclusive, and prove
conslusiyely the falsehood of the charge
taat the Sub-Treasury, or any other ac-
t'on proposed or accomplished by the
General Government, has had the effect
10 deprsss the prices Of our products.
The prices Of all commodities, are and
will be, governed by, ths laws of trade,
10 spite Of any artificial regulator which
government or individuals may impose;
as the above facts show prices were de-
pressed to point far below the presen,

WRITING.-To write 10 please the
lowest, few would; to write TO please
the highest, fewer can: we must either
stoop 10 the ignorance Of the one. or
surmount the envy of the other. Let
us then strive TO steer between them,
if we would consult both our fortune
and our fame. In the middle classes
there is a measure ofiudgment fully g.
quail 10 any demands we can make up
on it-a judgment not too fsstdious
from vanity, nor too 1nsensible from ig-
noranco; and he that can balance the
centre, may not be fearful as to the tive
extremes. Wero one ha!f Of the world

hlS bride in the church on the following DAY.

All was hustle, pleasure aud confusion A.

as was created among the inhabitants, when
II was known that a marriage was TO take
place on Christmas day between James Camp
bell and Harriet Williams. had never been G.
qualled since the Great Earthquake ia 1865.
by many amiabe unmarried ladies', the bride
was soundly rated as forward mink, sadly
wanting in dclicacy-the bridegrooms taste
was called into question by the belles-and
his impudencc 10 thus, almost without an eff
fort, winning and wearing the faresi flower in
the village, was loudly censured by the young
men.
But James and Harriet having made up their
minds to be happy, little needed wha, was said
OF their conduct by the idle, the censorious or
the envious. They were MARRIED and their
parents, and their unclcs, their aunts and their
cousins, declared that a finer couple never
phghed their conjugal faith before the holy
altar. Old Mr.. Campbell blessed the happy
par on Christmas evening. aud told some OF
his best storles-and neither party TO this day
have ever had occasion to admit the truth Of
the old maxim, Marry in haste and repent at
leisure.

National Pride.-The Spaniards
once imagined that the conferences of
God with Moses on Mount Sinai were
in the Spanish language, and that the
Deity spoke "Mm buena castellana. I"
If Japenese becomes the friend of a
foreigner, he is considered as commit
ting treason against his Emperor, and
rejected as a false brother in a coun-
try which, we are told, is fgmatively
called T'enka, or the kingdom under
the heavens. Thus we see that John
Bullism is not peculiar to Englishmen;
and patriotism is a noble virtue, when
ii secures our independence without
depriving us Of humanity.

POETRY.
THE LAMENT OF THE IRISH
EIEfGRANT.

I'm sIttin' on the stile. Mary,
Where we sat side by side,
On a bright May mornin', long ago,
When first you were my bride;
The corn was sprinein' fresh and green,
And the lark sang loud and high,
And the red was on thy lip, Mary,
And Tie love-light in your eye.
The place is little changed, Mary;
The day is bright as then;
The lark's loud song is in my ear,
And the corr is green again!
But | miss the soft claspo Of your hand,
And your breath, warm on my cheek,
And still keep l%ist'nin', for the words,
You never more may speak.
IT'S but a step down yonder lane,
And the little church stands near
The church where we were wed Mary
see the spire from here;
But the grave yard lies between, Mary,
And my step might break your rest;
For I've laid you, darling !! down to sleep,
With your baby on your breast.
I'm very lonely now, Mary,
For the poor make no ne friends;
But. oh I! they love thee better still,
The few our Father sends
And you were all | had, Mary
Ny blessin' and my pride;
There's nothin' left to care for now,
Since my poor Mary died!
Yours was the good brave heart, Mary,
That still kent hopinp on.
When the trust in God had left my soul.
And my arms your strength had gone,
There was comfort ever on your lip,
And the kind look on your brow;
bless you, Mary, for that same,
Though you can't hear me now.
| thank you for tire patient smile,
When your heart was fit 10 break,
When the hunger-pain was gnawin' there,
And you hid it. for my sake;
l bless you for the pleasant word,
When your heart was sad and sore;
Oh {! I'm thankful you are gone, Mary,
Where grief can't reach you more.
I'm biddin' you a long farewell,
My Mary-kind and true!
But Ill not foget you, dar!in',
In the land I'm go;n' TO;
They say there's bread and work for all,
And the sun shines always there;
But I'll not forget Old Ireland,
Were it fifty times as fair!
And often in those grand old woods
I'll sit, and shut my eyes,
And my heart will travel back again
To the place where Mary lies;
And I'll think / see the little stiie
Where we sat side by side,
And the snringin' corn, and the bright
May morn
When first YOU were my bride.
