MY PSALM.


BY j. O. WHITFIELD
mourn no more my vanished years
Beneath a tender rain
An April rain Of smiles and tears,
"'"' - lung '5''''
The west wind blows and, singing low,
hear the glad streams run
The windows Of my soul throw
"''e open 10 '"' sun
No longer forward nor behind
look in hope and fear;
But, grateful. take the good l hna'
i"' '' w
] plough no more desert land,
To harvest weed and tarci
The mama dropping from Gods hand
break my pilgrim stan, lay
Aside the t0ilng oar
The angel sought so FAR away
"'''O"'e AZ wy U'O''
The airs Of Spring may never play
Among the ripening corn,
Nor freshness Of the flowers OF May
Yet shall the blue-eyed genuan lock
Through iringed lids to heaven
And the pale astcr in the brook
'''' ''' 10 ''''s' s''>"
The woods shall wear their robes Of praise,
The south wind softly sigh,
Aud sweet calm days IN golden maze
Not less shall manly deed and word
kehukc an age Of wrong
The craven flowers that wreath the SWORD
But shifting hands shall learn To neat
To build as 20 destroy
Nor less my heart for others feel

Cotton.

A curious effect says the Liverpool Aer.
eUy, of the revulsion of 1857, has been to
give to the British manufactures the supply
s of cotton which his rivals in the manufactur-
ing districts of the United States would have
had in the natural course of things In 1857
the American manufac turer consumed T02,-
los bales of cotton, whilst in 1858 he CON
sumed only $4,000, thus leaving an extra
supply of 1000 for the British manufacture
ers. The eject of this temporary expulsion
OF the American manufacturer and of the
Weakening of continental producers, has
been to give to the British manufacturer al
most undisputed possession Of the markets of
the world, but more especially of the markets
of the Est
In the course of further remarks, the same
paper states that the value of all the cotton
good evported from Great Britain in the first
eleven months of 1858, is upwards of twenty
five millions of dollars.
The value of the raw cotton produced last
year in this country has been estimated at
: ON one hundred aud sixiy-fye millions to
j. about one hundred aud eighty millions OF
dollars
A writer in the HatloHal E',teiligenoer puts
this case: If the crop OF cotton now being
forwarded to market amount to $500. 900
bales. and Great Britain take of it, as last
year, for consumption, lS6S,25s bales, aud
the Unit d States as ia 1887 consumed 1922
l3s bales. there would be left for the CONT
nent of Europe, and the rest of mankind
only 434,6o4 bales, whereas the average of
four raw cation sent to the continent OF Eu-
rope for several years has been upwards OF
s3t 900 bales!
The importance to the cotton-planting in
terest of home market 10 compete with the
foreign markets, appears to us one of the most
obvious truths in the world. II the con
sumption of the home market could once
] reach one-third OF the crop, our cotton plant
ers would be .foreef to appreciate the value OF
such a market, and the importance 10 them OF

No man can be pointed out sohe IS sincerely at

you will know, he has scarcely friend.
Hardly a Lancaster face is ever seen at The
White House; and none of the men who are
known to have adhe ed to the fortunes of the
President in tn, sc dark days. when be
crouched at their feet begging for their
support. This is not because of personal
disappointment, but only ont of contempt for
the man and contempt for bis policy; for be
1t remembered that no man in our day, not
even Jackson or Clay, ever had more dis
interested friends than he who NOW freezes
himself and his visitors in the White House,

ton. venture to assert, the President cannot
point to an honest personal friend. Messrs
Bright and Slidell are supposed TO be the
nearest to him, and yet those who know these
gentlemen shrug their shoulders at the
slightest suggestion of any cnrdiality between
them and the head of the Government. Mr..
Corcoran, who expended from ten to twenty
thousand dollars to elect him, never crosses
the threshold of the White House: while it is
whispered along the avenue, that John x.

faithful adherants, has at last become disgnsted

members of the Cabinet, and even of the
personal household, who groan under the
humiliations so constantly put upon them.
What is the cause of this? / will answer,
that Hr. Buchanan desires 10 hare no friends. He
prefers to be iceolated and alone, and to look
around upon the wreck of the great party
which elected him. proud of the ruin he has
wrought, and ready to die after having
assassinated the men who gave him political
