Since our last. the market having assumed
more legitimate shape, it may be called fully

there is on their part no undue excitement
The proprietors of the slanghtering estab-
lishments went into the market MONDAY and
yesterday and purchased quite extensively in
Covington at 81 1894 80 per cwt, gross,
which is shade above the market, bnt they

however. the consequence of competition a

The receipts are Increasing rapidly, and. |
with very favorable weather, we may look for
an active market the coming week.
Our advices from the west report generally
a backward season, and farmers anxious TO feed
their hogs as long as possible. In Illinois and |
all points west of that State monay matters are
very materially with packing ope-
rations, it being impossible to negotiate drafts
made against ipInents.
Hogs are generally reported abundant and |
fat, and the indications are strong in favor Of !

for nothing but an inordinate appetite for
pale brandy, and a capacity to 81! up and

court laboring under peculiar difficulty !;
some arrangement of the visual organs
had taken place, by which objects were
multiplied, and by which the real and ap-

very undignihed position. The jury were
all seated, and the attorneys waiting to
begin the argument about case OF goug-

overcome by his mishap, looked up at the
canvas awning and remarked "All
right, proceed" relapsed into semi
forgetfulness, though still aware that
something was not as it should be; In
FIVE minutes more he was sound asleep.
One of the attorneys emptied bucket cl
water on his person, which made him
draw a long breath, but brought no
strength to his legs, and four jurymen
took each an arm and leg and carried
him out doors, where a discussion was
had as 10 what should be done with him

An Extract.

How dark and disconsolate the path ol
life may seem TO any man, there is an
hour of deep undisturbed repose at hand.
when the body may sink into dreamless
slumber.
Let not the Imagination be startled, il
this resting place, instead Of being bed
of down, shall be bed OF gravel, or the
rocky bed Of the tomb. No matter where
the poor remains of any man may be, the
repose Is deep and undisturbed, the sor-
rowluI bosom heaves no more, the tears
are dried up in their fountain, the aching
head is at rest, and the stormy waves Of
earthly tribuIa,on roll unheeded over The
place of graves. Let armies engage in
fearful conflict over the very bosom Of The
dead, and not one oil the sleepers heed the
spirii-slirring triumps, or respond to the
rending shouts of victory. How quietly
those countless millions sleep in the arms
of their mother earth The voice Of
thunder shall awake not tbem--lhe cry
of the elements. the waves, nor even the
giant tread of the earthquake, shall be
able to cause inquietude in the chamber
of the dead. They shall rest and pass
away-lhe great battle shall be fought ;
and then a small voice al first heard, shall
rise 10 a tempest and penetrate the voice,
less wave--for trumpet shall sound, and
the dead shall hear this voice.

And sturdy grew each limb,
He brought US TO the yellow fields,
To share NE toll with him
But lie went foremost in the swarIh,
Tossing aside the grain,
Just like the plow that heaves The soil,
Or ship that sheets the main.
Now we must lead The van, John,
Thro' weather foul and fair
And let the old man read and doze,
And tilt his easy chair
And he'll not mind it, John, you know,
AT eve to tell us DER,
Those brave old tales of British times,
or Grand-dad and the war.
I've heard you speak of Ma'am, John,
'Tis gospel what you say,
That caring for the life Of us,
Has turned her head so grey,
Yet, John, | do remember well,
When neighbors called her vain,
And when her hair was long and like
A cleaning sheaf of grain.
Her lips were cherry red, John,
Her cheek was round and fair,
And like rpened peach ii swelled
Against her wavy hair
Her step fell Lightly as the leaf,
From off the summer tree,
And all day busy at the wheel,
She sang TO you and me.
She had buxom arm, John,
That welded well the rod,
Whene'er with willful step our feet
The path forbidden trod I;
But to the heaven of her eye
We never looked in vain.
And ever more our yielding cry
Brought down her tears like rain.
But that was long ago, John,
And we are what we are,
And little heed we, day by day,
Her fading cheek and hair;
Ah, when beneath her faithful breast
The tides no longer stir,
'Tis then John. that we most shall feel
We have no friend like her.
Sure there can be no harm, John,
Thus speaking softly o'er
The blessed names of those, ere long,
Shall welcome us no more.
Nay hide it not-for why shoulds
thou
An honest tear disown!
Thy heart one day will lighter be,
Remember it has flown.
For Dad is growing old, John,
His eyes are getting dim,
And Ma'am is treading softly down
The dim descent with him
Bnt you and | are yodng and hale,
And each a stalwart man,
And we must make their paths as
smooth
And level as we can.

A Good Name.
a man taIls ne thaI

The wise man tells US that a good name
is better than great riches. The truth OF
this is plainly inferrable from the consld-
Grafton that, when is once gone, no
amount Of money will buy il back. NO
persons, however wealthy. can safely dis
pense with good name. But, II not the
rich, how much less The poor. To these
il is their all. To be siripi Of il is TO be
ruined in social and business life alike.
There is no way in which We may so
readily come 10 an appreciation OF our
own good name as to consider how lm1
portant character is in others with whom
we have to DO. If We need professional
services, we prefer a lawyer or pbysi'
clan Of good character. So with even
oar servants. Humble as they are. we
cannot dispense with safeguards even in
them. But how transcendanty important
is the good name ofhim or her whom we
desire 10 use as confidant. Then we re-
alize that such quality is indispensable.
With these considerations before them,
how can gOssips deal lightly with the
good name Of their neighbors ? We can
conceive how envy and malice might for.
nish sufficient motive for the tongue or
pen of the slanderer. But for the sufilr
cheney Of motives 10 The mere gOssiper u
is hard TO account, especially for people
who have bad the advantages Of education
or experience. and ale themselves posses
sed of good name. ~
In the whole field Of scandal, from The
most malicious 10 the most tbougltless
gossip, there is nothing but mesrness and
folly combined--meannes and folly OF
the most despicable and pi,isble Kind !
The hearts of all good men and good wo-
men shrink from The very thought Of II
with pain aud disgust, as they remember
the golden rule, and think OF the lnestE-
mable value Of good name ~,
