have suffered by inundation. Also the un-

has inspired the manufacturers there with
new confidence, and increased the activity
for American markets in preference to the
home ones, which are suffering from the
very high price of provisions, &c. Wool
prices are ranging high and expected to be
so with the new clip.
From the Australian markets we have TO
report that there is no willingness express

regular one.

for weighing well the state of affairs and
being calm and prudent in laying in their

present duty Of thirty per cent. on wool and
raw material, by which our wool manufac
turers are kept in check to their own, but
much more TO the loss of the wool growers
Our wool manufacturers, excluded from
the European markets, must suffer by al
lowing their foreign competitors to have

able to enhance wool prices abroad, and
seeing foreign manufactured goods impor-

The Blind Boy at Play.
BY ELIZA COOK.

The blind boys been at play, mother,
And merry games we had!
We led him on our way, mother,
And every step was glad,
But when we found starry flower,
And praised its varied hue,
A tear came trembling down his cheek,
Just like drop of dew.
We took him to the mill, mother,
Where falling waters made
A rainbow DER the rill, mother,
AS golden sun rays pIay'd
But when we shouted at the scene,
And hailed the clear blue sky,
He stood quite still upon the bank,
And breathed long, long sigh.
We asked him why he wept, mother,
Whene'er we found tho spots
Where perwinkle crept, mother,
Der wild, forget me-nots,
"Ah mel" he said while tears ran down
As fast as summer showers
alt is because cannotsee ..
The sunshine and the flowers"
Oh! that poor sightless boy, mother,
Has fought me that I'm blessed,
For can look with JOY, mother,
On all love the best;
And when see the dancing stream,
And dasles red and white,
kneel upon the meadow sod,
And thank my God for sight.

Mr.. Silk Buckingham in his autibiog-
raphy affords his readers some interesting
glimpses of the last generation. tie gives
the following account of the drunken habits
prevalent in England (and not less in Amer
ica at the close of the last century:
AT this period no one, SO far as can re
member. thought in:oxioation unbecoming
but rather the mark Of gentle nan, as in
dicative Of high breeding; the higher clas-
ses, clergy as well as tbe> laity, seemed
more frequently in, b-ip1d than the lower.
their means of indulgence being more am
pie, it being thought very shabby sort Of
hospitality to ,~low any guest at great
house to ,,eaye the table perfectly sober;
hence die common expression Of that day
.he was drunk as lord;" or drank as q
bishop" Marriages, christenings, and
funerals were made special occasions for
even the poorest to indulge, and in all ca.
ses g ca: consumption OF Intoxicating drinks
Io1k place at these celebrations. 1t was at
funerals especially that spirits were profuse-
ly drank, aud chiefly among the poor. The
customary mode was this: the corpse was
first brought from the dwelling house, and
The coffin placed on bench, made of chair,
reversed, before the door; here hymn or
psalm was sung, and glasses of brandy han
ded round at its close to every one present,
whether assistants or mere spectators. -
This frequently stimulated the leader tc
give out sec md hymn or psalm, which
was sung with more spirit than tie first,
and another rouni of brandy was served as
before. The corpse was then borne by four
or six bearers certain distance, when :hese
were relieved by others, and at each res
ting place brandy was again served; so tn 1t
by the time the parties reached the parish
church, somo two miles distant, they we're
nearly all nauddled an1 stupid. Sometimes
however, it lad the effect Of mixing the
expression Of grief more vehement than if
they had been perfectly sober; and then.
again brandy was applied as a so)ther of

sure to be public horse, funeral was a
great day for the landlord. and few who at
tended such funerals went perfectly sobe,
to bed.
Incredible as it may seem, it is neverthe-
less the fact, that in some parts of New
England, Virginia. and North Carolina sim,
liar funeral customs prevailed even as late
as forty years az, In view OF which we
venture the original observation that the
world moves!

Wool.

During the month of May the demand
for native wool has been qlite lively, par.
ticularly for qualities of good nature and
we'll conditioned. Though our manu'ac
lures have, for the last six or eight months,
not produced half the quantity OF goods
they were able to; they were obliged 20 pur-
chase a good amount of fine and very for
eign wool, of which our country raises far
too little. The receipts of wool have been
smaller than expected, and may be attrib-
uted to number of sales in the interior
direct to the manufacturers.
AT the END Of the wool year, or about the
new clip, we find again. shat there is not
proper stock of wool to last until the new
wool will have seasoned; and the fine grades,
as we'll as those woods for combing, deserve
therefore all the attention of our wool
growers. Pulled wool is doing better at our
quotations, and the season for pulling is al
most terminated; We shall have moderate
stock and may expect very firm if not high
er prices
Australian, Cape and other foreign fine
woods, have been in good demand, and at
prices equal to those in the English markets,
il not higher, and we would not be surprised
to find the notice OF our leading manufac-
turer directed more immediately to them
low qualities OF foreign woods, for carpets
and blankets, have improved in prices now
asked by the importers have checked the
sales in a good many instances. and 1t is, ir
our opinion, question whether the man
ufacturers will agree to them, or the impor-
ters will have to moderate their demands
and meet buyers. For this reason there
has been less doing for the last eight or ten
days. We regret TO say that higher prices
are not justified by the amount of business
and prices Of manufactured goods.
From the English markets, we have learn
ed that Australian, Cape. and other FINE
wooIs, are selling well--prices being un
changed with exception of best qualities
wlAch have advanced from ! tc Id per h.
inthe auction just commenced. A good
many qualities would do to import should
our prices remain as they are at present
1 or improve more. About low qualities, we
are informed that the last auction sale o.
them was attended with slight decline
and in private sales the same has taken
place, with the exception Of those kind'
which are used for military clothing and
articles. The accounts of the English man
ufac,uring districts are not cheering. -

li,ical and mercantile, to which, we presume
general attention is directed.
