Beautiful Poetry.

Like the breath Of the lily, SO sweet and
SO Silly, do smiles of kindness make the
heart glad. Frail is the flower, yet great
in her power to cheer the lonely and sooth
the sad. The smiles of beauty, so full of
duty; should beam Oh the sinful, the sick,
the distressed nor all their brightness be
poured on the lightness Of butterfly fatte'
ry's sparkling crest.
The voice of sweetness is music IS com.
pleteness, when rords of kindness, by
beauty spoken, breathe hope to the sigh
ing, peace to the dying, and faith to the
hearts by misfortune broken. Not in halls
Of splendor, where praise attend her, mid
whispcrings tender does her voice sound
sweetest to heaven above : the sphere of
woman, more angelic than human, is the
circle of charity, faith and love how
sweet i! sounds to the heaven above-char-
ity, faith, and love !--SGndaSky Register.

COTTON MANUFAoTUREs.-Iti is an i'll wind
that blows no good to any one, and the seiz-
ure by spectators of the remaining million
bales OF the cotton crop, however injuriously
it may operate upon commerce and the gem
eral business of the country, and however
disastrously it may end, finally, for the spec
ulators themselves, has yet had good effect
upon the demand for cotton manufactures.
purchasers being convinced that for the re.
mainder Of the season the raw material must
rule high, and that goods will not OF course
go any lower, as the production cannot be re-
placed with the cotton bought since the ad. .
vance of two cents a pound, within the last
Three weeks, and still upward tendency in
the market.
The mills in Massachusetts, and New Hamp-
shire whose agencies are in Boston, are pretty
fairly supplied with cotton for the season, but
the Rhode Island mills are said to be low in
stock, and many of them will be compelled to
come into market upon the inflated prices. =
The shipments Of cotton from southern to
northern ports are l06,50 greater than last
year, so that generally our manufacturers
must have an ample supply until the new
crop comes forward.
At the last advices from Liverpool down to
the 29th of March, the English spinners were
buying their cotton moderately and slowly,
wholly unconscious Of the trap which was SET
ting for them on this side the water. There
were many arrivals due from the United
States-they are probably now in possession
of q sufficient stock to last long enough to ena.
BILE them to set at defiance the cornering
movements Of spectators, They will proba-
bly, do as the northern manufacturers have
already done, retire from the market altogeth-
or, and let the spectators play the game
among themselves. Boston Traveller.

A GREAT CATTLE RAISER. The greatest
cattle-raiser in this country, perhaps in the
world, is B. Harris, Esq, of Champagne, Ill.
A late number Of the Albany Knickerbocker
"Some of the finest cattle we ever saw were
brought to this city last Saturday on the Cen
tral Railroad. There were thirty-four head,
with an average weight of two thousand four
hundred pounds. They sold for ten cents
pound live weight, which is equal to $24O
each. They were grown by B. F. Harris, of
Champagne, Illinois, who has one hundred
head of the same weight still to bring to
market. Mr.. Harris is one of the largest
stock farmers in the world. His farm CON
talns four thousand acres. He keeps usually
about 500 head of cattle and 600 head of hogs.
About the first of May he turns the cattle on
the prairie, and they Craze under the control
OF mounted herdsmen, who pen them at night.
BY the first of Autumn his herds, with the
wide range of rich prairie, reach the climax
OF bovine perfection, and a more attractive
sight cannot be found. Through the winter.
those intended for spring sale, are STALL fed,
requiring 100 bushels of corn to feed good
sized OK. In the winter of IS4S-'49, this
gentleman stall-fed 982 cattle, and bought
$4,000 bushels of corn. In the year 1858,
Mr.. Harris fed and sold hundred head of
beeyes their average weight 1866 pounds.
These were the extraordinary lot which took
the premium at the Worlds Fair at New
York. The average of cattle herds usually
marketed will not exceed 1900 pound gross.

NEDNESDAY, April 10.
SENATE.-The Senate to-day passed the bill
providing for driving the small Spanish coin
from circulation.
Mr.. Seward presented joint resolution
providing that
"Uninhabited islands, lying beyond the
maritime Jurisdiction of nations, which have
been or may hereafter be discovered and TAX
en- possession OF by American citizens, shall
become part of the territory of the United
States; but the right of property in deposits
in guano, or any natural products of such
islands and embayed waters thereof shall be
invested in the person who shall have dscov-
cred and taken possession of the same, pro-
yided they shall not be in the public service"
Referred to Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons.
The Bounty Land bill was debated, and
laid ASIDE to enable Mr.. Jones of Iowa to re-
ply to the speech of Mr.. Harlan on Kansas
affairs.
Mr.. Jones then addressed the Senate.
HOUSE Mr.. Tyson, from the Library Com
mittee, reported joint resolution for the pur-
chase of $4,000 copies, at So each, of Kanes
Narrative of the Arctic Expedition, for dis
tribuiion among the members of Congress,
and authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to
have appropriate medals struck off and pre-
Passed, under the operation of the previous
question, by majority.
Mr.. Stanton moved a reconsideration of the
vote; he said this system of book publishing
was condemned by every intelligent man in
the country, and ought not to be tolerated.
He did not want his friends who were in
the majority to be responsible for such extrav-
agance.
Mr.. Walker eulogized DIR. Kane for the
hardships he had so nobly endured, and for
valuable contributions he had furnished to
science.
Mr.. Kett inquired what party Mr.. Stanton
represented when he introduced his bill of
indictment against the Administration. The
gentleman from Ohio was member of the
Black Republican party; few months ago
they came here asserting the nationality of
freedom and the sectionality of slavery, max
ing their issues the repeal Of the Fugitive
Slave Law, the restoration of the Missouri
restriction, and the non. admission of any
more slave States into the Union. They came
here Boosting a majority, and elected their
leader Speaker. Rumor says they dare not
now, as before, face the country on those is
sues. No disreputable lodging no bolstering
up fraud If the North is abolitionized, make
the issue boldly--no cowardly skulking
Mr.. Giddngs appealed to the chivalry Of
Mr., Keitt to give him the floor.
Mr.. Kett said he could not, having prom
ised to renew the motion to lay on the table
the motion to reconsider the vote.
Clamorous cries for the "questlon" follow
ed, and the question being put, was decided
in the affirmative.

sneahinr RIghl Quo.

vv,,is en- many of the Northern Democratic
o,,.ns. in the defence of the administration, en-
sosvor 10 yafnish over its pro-slavery policy BY
rsnresenting that they are : as much opposed to
slavery in the abstract as any body but they don't
want the subject agitated, it is gratifying to lind
one honest enough to stand up and boldly avow
the true position of its party at this time. Such
an organ is the New York Day Book, the only
administration journal published in New York
city. The severe raps it gives to its Democratic
eoadutor of the Boston Post, should cause the
latter to be more cautious hereafter in its state
ments on the position of its party on the slavery
issue
We can have some respect, even, for an out and
out border rufian democrat, if he is only honest
enough openly to avow his true position, IN true
stringfellow style; but when he attempts as does
the editor Of the Post, 70 equiyecate and faisifF
for the sake of catering TO Northern sentiment,
BY pretending under the delusive sham OF squat
ter sovereignty" that he and his party are favor
able TO the extension of free institutions into the
national territories, we believe, with the New
York administration oIganist, that all such chad
better hold their tongues, aye, had better cut out
their tongues thousand times over, than thus
help to mystify, bewllder, and debauch the COM
mon sense of the people"
The New York Day Book says:
1.-THE Boston Post says it is libel on the
Democracy to say that they are in favoe of
slavery extension. Well, then, of course
they are opposed to its extension. So is Gree
ley, and Seward, and Hale, and Chase, the
men and the party which the Post opposes or
assumes to oppose. There is no escape from
this conclusion. stSlavery extension " is the
sole question before the country, for Know
Nothingism is merely a galvanized corpse,
without life or motion Beyond that impaired
to it by the artificial stimuli of political nee
romancy. We repeat slavery, negro slave
ny, and negro slavery extension, is the sole
question before the country, and to be deter
mined in the approaching Presidential cleo
ton, and as Mr.. Senator Seward, above all
other public men of the day, embodies the OPP
position to this slavery extension, the Democ-
racy, if opposed to il in common with Mr.
Seward, should at once make him President;
and the Boston Post, if opposed to this extern
sion of slavery, should join heart and hand in
placing the man above all others truly EN-
bodying that opposition, in the Presidential
chair, for the good and substantial reason that
the opposition would be the most effective
when thus represented. But the Democracy
are not opposed to slavery extension, or that
which ignorance aud delusion term slavery
extension, and the time is at hand when those
who assumeto speak for it must understand
what they are DONG in the matter, or the,
had better hold their tongues, aye, had bette
cut put their tongues thousand times owe
rather than thus helpto mystify and bewilder
and indeed debauch the common sense of tht
people"

A TAME WoLF.-A lady near Geneva had
a tame wolf, which seemed to have as much
attachment to its mistress as a spaniel. She
had occasion to leave home for some weeks
The wolf evnced the greatest distress at her
departure, and at first refused to take food.
During the whole time she was absent he re-
NAMED much detected. On her return, as
soon as the animal heard her footsteps, he
bounded into the room in an ecstacy OF de-
light; springing up, he placed one paw oil
each Of her shoulders but the next moment
he fell backward and instantly expired. M.
Decandole, lecturer on the Natural History
OF Geneva, related this story o. Briea's
Round Tooers of Ireland.

Americans of Rhode Island publishes the address
of The National Committee appointed at Pitts

for union Of the Anti. Nebraska forces in the
Presidential contest, by responding to the call
for the Convention at Philadelphia on the 18th of

day the call to the electors of this State, for
Convention to be assembled on the 22d of
May, to choose delegates to the Philadelphia
Convention called on the 18th day Of June
next.
The terms of the National call are broad
and intended to bring together men of all par
tiss opposed to the extension of slavery into
the Territories, and to its entertainments up
on the rights of the Free States. Previous
party distinctions are to be held, for the time,
in allegiance. The one great object of resist
ing the nulli6ers of the South, must concen-
trate the Northern vote. Unless this be DONE
the present Administered on party will surely
come again into power.
The Administration party victorious, then
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise is en-
dorsed; then the time serving policy of Pierce
In appointing men to office merely because
they were of foreign birth is approved; then,
IN brief, the whole course of Pierce and Doug

made to say amen to the pro-slayery policy
OF three hundred and fifty thousand slave
owners.

majority of votes are necessary; this is con-
