JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

Our attention is now attracted TO a ray off
light "locaed on the left of he House, in
the neighborhood of the Speakers chair. III
proceeds from that wonderful man, who in
his person combines The agtator, poet, phil
osopher, statesman, critic, and orator-John
Quincy Adams. There he sits, hour after
hour, day after day, with unliring patience,
never absent from his seal, never voting for
an adjournment, viglanl as the most jealous
member of The House, his ear on the
alet', always prepared to go at once into the
profoundest question OF state or The minutesl
points of order We look at him, and mark
his cold and fearful eye, his stern and alb
slraced gaze, and conjare up phantoms of
other scenes. We look upon more than
king, who has filled every department of
h cnor in his native laad, sui at his post; he
who was President of millions, now The rep
fesenlative of forty odd thousand, quarrelling
about rifles. or advocating high principles:-
to day growing and sneering at The House
with an abolition petition in his trembling
hand, and anon lording it over the passions,
and lashing the members into the widest
state of enthusiasm by his indignant and
emphatic eloquence.
| Alone, unspoken 10, unconsulted with 9TH
ers, he sis apart, wrapped in his reveries, or
probably he is wriiing-his almost perpetual
employment. He looks enfeebled, but yet
he is never tired; worn out, but ever ready
for combat: melancholy, but lei witty thing
fall from any member, and that old mans
face is wreathed in smiles. He appears pas
sive, but wo TO the unfortunate member that
hazards an arrow at him-the eagle is not
lswiiter in his flight than Mr.. Adams; with bis
agitated finger quiverng in sarcastic gestIc-
ulation, he seizes upon his foe, and amid the
amazement of tie House, rarely fails to take
la signal vengeance. HIS stores of knowl
edge on every subject, gathered up through
the course of his Extraordinary life, is said
never TO have permitted single fact to es-
cape it, give him great advantage over all
corners in encounters of this kind. He is q

A MOTHERS DEVOTION.

About six years since. an aged widow,
poorly, clad, with staff in hand, and umbrella
under her arm, might any morning be seen
vending her way to the old city grave yard,
below Frenchtwon. Her walk appeared to
be daily duty and rain or shine, she per-
formed the sad pilgrimage without fail. From
one who knew her history, We learned that
some twelve yearg previous, her only son,
promising young man, had suddenly died, and
been entombed at this spot. The shock of
separation inflicted a blow upon the mothers
reason which time had not wholly healed and
since she saw his remains consigned to the
earth, her footsteps had almost daily been
directed towards his resting place-her hands
have plucked up the weeds which grow up
on his grave, and the small stone which
marked the spot has been worn smooth by
her careful efforts 10 keep it clean and come
ly.
The progress of improvement which, with
"a species of fatality, invades the sacred pre-
cincls Of the grave, threatened to disturb the
ashes of the widows son, and her affection
became heart-rending. The fact being made
known to wealthy and benevolent citizen,
he had them removed TO a grave yard more
remote from the city's hum, and TO this spot
her walks were now directed. A few years
more passed, and we again met her in our
waks-time appeared to have worked a rapid
change in her appearance; her form was more
bent, her eyes more sunken, and her step less
vigorous, but her devotion for the spot where
rested the bones of her boy was undated,
and though the way was mole weary, she
needed il mother umbrella hung in tatters,
but, though useless, it has SO long been the
companion of her walks, that it had grown
into Unnecessary habit to bear il along.
Again we met her, few days since; her
step has become more feeble and slow, her
head is bowed to the earth, as though looking
for that resting place which is near at hand;
the sometime shelter and then companion of
her walks-the old umbrella-has fallen to
pieces, and been laid aside, but yet the wild
owed mother totters TO her dead boys tomb.
removes the weeds which gather there, and
with her handkerchief, wipes the dust from
the mournful record of his departure. Sure
| ly the devotion of mother is undying.-St.

THE HOME MARKET.

Recent events connected with the export
Of -four to Europe, taken in connection with
tine experience OF last year, go far to show
that the markets of Europe are not to be de-
pended upon by the producer of this country
who wishes to obtain remuneraiIng price
for his -four and wheat. A few moments
reflection must convince the farmer that it is
upon the home market alone that any reliance
can be placed. A small quantity of flour
may at times be exported with profit, but any
attempt to force large quantity upon any
foreign market, must result in loss
The annual export of -four from the Uni
ted STATES has not usually exceeded I,000,-
900 barrels. During The current year, the
export will probably reach 2,000,0 900 barrels.
The annual wheat crop OF the United States
furnishes about 25,000,000 barrels Of -four.
The great increase in the export of our -four
during the current year, must, of necessity,
cause an advance in price. But still the ac-
tua advance cannot be depended upon.
| Advices from Europe speak of short crop,
and scarcity of provisions. Immediately
prices are run up here beyond all reasonable
bounds. and consequently a reaction will
take place. The farmer, however, often re-
Allies bat little benefit from these high pri-
ces. The extra price goes into The hands Of
spectators, and The advance lasts but short
time leaving them here after time in worse
state than previous to the rise. Such was
the case last year, and such we fear, will be
the result during the present season. Thai
the United States cannot compete in the ar
ticle of wheat with the producers of Europe
except in time of scarcity, must be &C
knowledged by all thinking men. II appear:
from authentic data. that the average price;
of wheat during ten years, from 1880 to lS4C
in the principal marts OF trade on the cont
nent of Europe, were as follows: at Dantzit
average price, 81 cents per bushel; at Ham
burg, 80 cents; at Amsterdam, 80 cents; a
Antwerp, SO cents; at Odessa, 81 cents
i During the same period the average price o
whea, at our own seaports was 81 ,25, being
twenty-seyen- cents more than the average
per bushel at the aforementioned ports il
Europe. Taking into consideration the rela
tive distance, the advantages are still mor'
in favor of the European wheat grower. Thu
RI competition is more in our favor the presen
year, owing TO a short crop in some of tn
Fl wheat growing counties of Europe.-Bos
