by the next steamer they expect decided impress
Son to be made on that market Ifthe holders of
the small as well as the large parcels are not OBJ
liged to force their cotton into market until the
next news is received-they may keep up the
market. The whole depends on the strength of
holders.
The news by the next steamer will be looked
for with unusual interest The great specula-
tions in cotton that have been made predicated
on short crop, together with the fact that up-
wards of five hundred thousand bales, or at least
twenty millions in value are kept back in the
principal shipping ports, il is calculated will
make an impression on the European markets.

Time, Decay, and Death.
BY AN EPIscoPALIAN.

looked around and loi a lofty tower.
Proud monument Of human power,
Bear'd lis broad turretS far on high,
And seemed 10 piece within the sky;
Each lofty minarei and spire
BlaZed in he setting sun like FIRE:
And stood each baSlion dome aud tower
As tho they scorned Decays fell power.
| looked again. That tower, alaSl
An undi>tinguishable mass
A Shapeless heap of ruins there,
Sad witness OF It's downfall bare:
A few short years, and its proud height
Bowed al Decays resiStleSs might;
Beneath his touch the massive wall
Crumbed and toitered 10 its fall!
| looked, and 10 lofty tree
Spread its green branches broad aud free;
And 1OckS beneath lis pleasant shade,
From noontide sun protection made;
And birds within It's leafy bowers
Would hide themselves from April showers.
IL was noble, giant tree,
And bore Itseli IL majesty.
| looked again. Riven and sere
Did lis backen'd trunk to heaven rear!
Gaunt and naked II spread on high
Its storm beat branches to the sky,
And scarr'd and grey, its greennesS gone,
il Stood, a mighty Skeleton
And while looked, Time told its hour
1t fell beneath It's sweeping poWerl
looked, and beauty met my sight
My soul was daZZled with It's light
sand, and can il be that this
Bright, pure, embodiment OF bliss
Will feel, as did the tower and tree,
Decays rude bighIing tyranny?
Must lovelinesS and beauty die
Decays dark power TO testifys?
Be there no hand his coarse to check,
To stay this universal wreck
With withering touch, will he forever
Continue the thread of life to sever

And bid lies current ce 3Se to flow
Must man and tree and lofty tower
Ever confess its whitening power?

Loud lhUnderS rolled along the sky

" w bile time shall last, such the decree
OF HIM who flleth eternity
Times power to blight shall be displayed!
And over ali BUT DEATH. Decay
Shall hold in Time its iron sway
"But when eternity shall ro'l
It's endless ocean DER the soul,
TINES feeble waves shall cease 10 flow:

Forever drop its harmless brand;
And TINE, DECAY, and DEATH shall be
