And lips the cause Of man to plead,
And never plead in vain.

Her cup of bliss to fill.

To follow ME behind;
And to be thought in future days
The friend of human kind;
That after ages, as they rise,

These are the wants of mortal lnal-
I cannot want them long;
For life itself is but a span,
And earthly bliss a o

And yet a fragment small remains
OF natures transient dream
My soul, i II humble hope urscar'd,
Forget not thou to pray,
That this, thy WANT may be prepared
To meet the Judgment Day!

One bushel of quick lime, 80 ounces Of

suGAR TRADE.-The progress of the
Sugar trade is astonishing. Hunt Maya.
zine says that in 1886, there were G,46I..
GOO pounds shipped from New Orleans, al.
thouCa the amount shipped in 1880 was
trifflng. In is40it had increased to more
than. forty serea million of pounds. Should
the manufactures increase for five wears
to come in the same rate it has heretofore
done, we shall make sugar enough for our
own domestic consumption. In, 1899
nearly ten millions of dollars were paid to
foreigners for Sugar, an amount a%stonisiii-
ing when 1T is perceived that this exceeds
the value of any one article exported from
this country, excepting cotton.
In the time of Henry " of France, surar'
was kept only by apothecaries, and retailcd at
SO much per ounce or grain, as q~uinine is at
present. Last year there were consumed in
that country about 200,0O0,mO lbs. of the
article.

" TIL following beautiful poem, was writ
ten during the session of Congress 1910, in
consequence of some ladies' of Pennsylvania
having solicited the distinguished author to
favor them with a specimen of his autograph.
The picayune says, a lady of its acquaintance
has calculated that it would require "three
million two hundred and nineteen thousand
SIX hundred dollars" to supply the wants of
the author as here set forth. From a hasty
glance at this statement, we were half dispos-
ed to think the fair accountant had been a lit
tie too fast in considering all these at the COM
mand of wealth. "That wife, for instance
said we in our ssimplicity, "could money buy

and adopted by the Executive departments of the
Government, IN relation TO removals from office .
II is rule most reasonable, just and liberal in il

coud>not have prevented it, for the house was full.

We do not understand how the minority can
be charged with the act OF minority when the ma
jority shaped the act at their pleasure, and how
the present Administration can be he Id responsible
for the doings of the preceding. .-...
There were four ways by which this appropri-

pleasure Of the Van Buren, party, rs i, would have
been had they desired it
1. BY not calling for it they did through the
Commissioners. Van Buren, man, as wo under
