Half the parish is there, and the dance is beginning
The sun is gone down, but the full harvest moon .
Shines sweety and cool the dew whitened valley;
While al the air rings with the soft loving things
Each little bird sings in the green shaded alley.
With blush and smile Kitty rose up the while.
IT'S hard to refuse when young lover sues
So she couldn't but choose togo off to the dancing.
And the green the glad groups seen
Each gayhsarted lad with the lass Of his choosing;
Somehow, when he asked, she neer though ofrefusng
Now Felix Magee puts his pipe to his knee,
And flourish free sets each couple in motion;
With cheer and a bound the lads Patter the ground
The maids around just like swans on the ocean
Cheeks bright therese-feet light as the does,

No such sight can be found an Irish lass dancing
Beaming humidity through their dark Iashes so mildly

2,3S0,000 tons, and imported $4,000 tons, her total
export of iron and hardware amounted to 800, 100
tons. She, therefore, had left for home markets,
over 1900, 900 tons. In 1896, the quantity of Bril-
fish iron made was $4,000 TONS The quantity of
foreign iron retained for home consumption 49,
900 TONS The total exports of iron and hardware
amounted to 409 tons; the total home consumption

KANSAS A jealous struggle is now going on
between shareholders and freesoilers for supremacy
in this new and valuable territory. Ot course the
opinions to the result, are modified by the bias
or wishes Of the various parties. One OF the most
specific and distinct declarations on the subject we
find in a communication in the last Misslssippian
from the pen of Dr. D. o. Williams, large slave
holder, and shrewd reliable and practical citizen
of Kinds county, Mississippi, founded on his own
personal observation. He describes the country as
very fertile of prairie character, sufficiently I'M
dulating for thorough drainage. 1t yields from 90
to 60 bushels of to the acre, 500 lbs hemp to
the acre and about 90 buhels wheat to the ere
der ordinary cultivation with good culture and
good season. the product may be doubled. One good
hand the Doctor says will cultivate 20 acres in clo
yer, product 1000 bushels at 90 cts. per bushel-
5000. Eight in hemp, product 64O0 lbs. a 6
cts h. 3S4. Ten acres in wheat, product 200 bush
els S2CO-total product for the labor of one hand,
s7S4 The same hand will make largely
ough meat and stock to pay his expenses. This is
what may be done in Kansas Territory. 1t is
what is now done by hundreds of farmers the
other side of the Mssouriri river.
But the most interesting and important fact stated
by Dr. Williams is that sail of the best locations in
the Territory have already been staked out and the
foundation for a log cabin laid by hundreds and
thousands of slave owners from the border slave
counties in Missouri who have entered into solemn
pledges to protect each ether in his claim and to
keep all aboltonists from the Territory. There
mains no longer doubt but that Kansas has already
made a beginning which ensures 1t slave State.
Greely and the abotoniss may founder and futter !
until they are satisfied Kansas is slave terri
DRY, and will be a slave State There already |
enough slave owners interested in Kansas to whip |
,ut all the abotionists who may dare to pollute the
oil with their base and incendiary feet. The slave
,wners of Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, by
hundreds and thousands, will seek that delight
ul country, and would you believe it, Mr.. Editor,
have already been in the Territory,
nd stakcd ont claims in the names of men whom
hey have taken along to erect log cabin on each
re emption?"

SMITH DRUNK cs. SMITH SOBER. Smith, the Razor
of the very superior quality of his strops and gives
his audience short lecture temperance in his
own peculiar, droll way. Here is short extract ::
=" Smiths Cut-WhenI drank grog owned a cat,
a poor, lean, lantern awed thing, that always
getting into a scrape. AS had nothing for her to
eat she was compelled to take to the highway; and
the neighbors were continually crying ont, " Cuss
that Smiths cat, she's drunk all my milk" Poor
thing she had to steal die; for she could find
pickings at home, for the poor mice that were
left poor and scraggy that it took several of
them to make shadow; and decent cat would
starye to death in three weeks on an allowance of
a different turn. The kitchen being we'll provided,
the crumbs were plenty; and the old cat grew fat
and honest together. Even the mice grew fat and
oily and the old tabby would make hearty supper
on two of them and then lie down and snooze with
the pleasing consolation of knowing that when she
awoke there would be few more left of the same
Sort
And again When l was beer guzzler mother
CRIED father cied Bill cried Molly CRIED and the cat
cried. But when l signed the pledge, father sung,
mother sung, Bill sung, Bet sung, the cat sung and
[ bought new frying pan, and put nice piece of
beefstcak in it. and placed it on the fire. and that
sung, and that's the kind of signing for the working
man.
And third: the difference between Smith sober
and Smith drunk is ths-Smith drunk was rvmmy,
ragged and rjotous-Smith sober is joyful iovial and
Jolly. Smith drunk suffering, stupid and stag
gering; Smith sober is clearheaded, and cautious
Smith drunk SICK sore and sorry; Smith sober
is hearty, healthy, and happy Smith drunk was
Thread, ill-bred, and -ed Smith sober is we'll sa
we'd, well-behaved, and well-shaved. "

REVOLUTION IN CUBA.-Apart from any infor
nation received through our own special sources of
intelligence in the Island Of Cuba, says the New
York Sun, there is abundant evidence furnished
through other and more public channels that the
revolutionary spirit is strong and active among the
at Cubans at present. Yesterday we were shown
letter received in this city from merchant in
the Island, in which, though writing of commercial
matters, he incidentally alludes to the popular fer
ment, and adds the opinion that change may
occur in the government Of Cuba within six months
Other letters written from the Island of late, by
parties entirely unconnected with the revolutionary
movements and Indifferent to their success have
contained similar testimony. Were We to judge
from our own private correspondence, we would
say that revolution is minent; but for the present.
we prefer to speak from the statements of parties
entirely dsinterested; and these are sufficient to
establish the fact that SPANS tenure Of Cuba can
not long be maintained without foreign aid,

Slavery Reaction in New England.

From tie Journal of Commerce we learn that
the tone of public opinion in the Pilgrim States in
regard to the institution of slavery is undergoing a
decided charge.
The reaction, on the subject of slavery, in New
England is becoming more and more marked; and
some OF the best minds are at the head of it. DR..
Blagden preached his conservative Fast Day Ser
mon, we believe, in lS4s 1t has since been print
ed. And now he is maintaining his views in con-
toversy with the editors of poltico religious paper
here, and is as strong as the Bible, on which he
plants himself This year, appeared President
Lords pamphlet, which has been reviewed in the
Vermont Chronicle, that called out Dr. Lord in
reply, and the paper in rejolnder.
Here DR.. Lord evinces far the most thorough
acquaintance with the subject and is generally UNI
answcrable in argument Besides pamphlet
lately appeared, reviewing discourse of Rev. Mr.
rockingham, Of Salem. by a Layman, on the same
side. 1t is very able, and thoroughly exposes the
Parker views Of the preacher. And now we have
the book of Dr. Adams who finds the Bible a
better guide on the subject of slavery than infdel
reforers, or the writings of those who exat reason
and philosophy above revelation. New Englanders
will return from their wandeTings, and plant them
selves once more firmly and immovably upon the
word of God If the religious people of the country
will do that, slavery will either come to an end or
be so mild and Christian as no longer to deserve
the name'
The men here named are far from being in favor
of slavery; but they distinctly see that the doctrines
of the New England Abolitionists lead inevitably
to ntidelity whilst they do infinite mischief to the
country and to the slaves for whom they profess to
feel so deeply. Such reaction weare glad to see
The last number of the Congregationalist has an
editorial on this subject setting forth principles
which, legitinatey carried out must lead to in
fidelity, Or to something very little short of it.
