NEVEii DESPAIR.

The opal hned and many perinmed Morn
From gluom is born;
From out the sulIen depth of eb"n Nlght
The stars shed light;
Gems in the rayless oavefns Of The earth
Have their slow birth;
From wundrous alchemy ni winter hours
Come summer flowers;
The bitter waters Of the restless main
Give gentle rain;
The fading bloom and dry seed bring once mere
The years fresh storm;
just sequence of clashing tones afford
The fall accord
Through weary ages. full Of strife and ruth,
Thought reaches truth
Though Efforts lung in vain, prophetic need
Begeis the deed;
Nerve then Thy soul with dires. need to cope:
Life's bfighteS! hope
Lies latent in Fate's deadiesl lair
Never despair.

to the cultivation of basket willow in the
United States. The annual importation of
the article into our country amounts to So
600, 900, and this, large as it is does not
satisfy the consumption. The supply is de-
rivad from France and Germany, mainly,
and costs her from 500 to $3.50 per ton
weight.
