MEMORY,s TOKEN.
nY ANNIE y. BEACH.

There's chaplet Of faded rose-bnds
I've carefully laid away,
That I love to 60 TO look at,
At the close Of the busy day;
And remember the gentle giver--
A beautiful, fair-hairod girl
Who is lost to mo forever
In the worlds wide, mazy whirl.
Twas day in the pleasant summer,
And seem to see her now,
AS she bound the budding blossoms
In garland for my brow;
And the thoras were then all covered
BY the shining, dewy leaves
As our future paths were hidden
By the shining, dewy leaves
As our future paths were hidden
By the vail the presen, weaves.
Alas! for the flowers That wither
Like the beautiful dreams Of youth;
Alas! for our l;fes warm spring-hme,
Its gladness, and JOY, and truth
But the breath Of these faded flowers,
And the memory Of the past,
Is all too sweet for Times mildew,
Or the Worlds rough winds to blast.

fluids, totally different. There are even
glands which resemble basins-round,
square, or radiated. a FrY v}l
II is credible, then, from analogy, that
there arc animals feeding upon the leaves
of plants, like cattle upon our meadows,
which repose under the shade of those
bristles or bushes, imperceptible to our
eyes, and who drink from the glands IL
quors Of the color of gold and silver.
Every part of the flower must exhibit TO
them spectacles of which we can have no
idea. The yellow anrheral of flowers
suspended by fllets of white exhibit TO
their eyes double rafters of gold, balanced
upon pillars fairer than ivory; the corol-
Ia must seem to them an arch of un-
bounded magnitude, decorated with the
ruby and the topaz; the nectarium, riv-
ers of sugar; the other parts Of the aow-
er must show cups, urns, pavillions, domes,
which neither the architect nor the gold
smith has yet learned TO initiate. no
do not say this from conjecture, for,
having one day examined with a micro
scope the flowers Of thyme, distinguish
ed, with extreme admiration, superb fla
gons with long necks, which were formed
of a substance resembling the amethyst,
from the gullets of which seemed to flow
ingots Of liquid gold. l have never ex-
amined the corola of the smallest flower
without finding il composed of admirable
substances, half transparent studded with
brilliants, and tinted with the most lively
colors. Beings which live under their
rich canopies, must have ideas very diff
ferent from ours Of light, and Of the 9TH
er phenomena of Nature. A drop of
dew, filtering in the capillary and Trans
parent tubes of plant, presents TO their
eyes thousand cascades. The same
drop, fixed as wave on the extremity of
one of the bristles, must seem an ocean
without shore. r. .,,
Such, then, must have been my straw
berry plant, and its natural inhabitants,
in the eyes of the winged insect which
alighted upon it; for the reader will re-
member that / have been speaking on
ly Of those minute creatures which are
imperceptible to the naked eye; but
if bad been capable of acquiring as
much knowledge respecting the plant as
is possessed by those itinerant insects, /
should still have been far from acquir-
ing the full history Of it.
How beautiful How full of materi-
al for pleasant reflection! Who can
study Nature without becoming better
and wiser!

No Market for Wheat.

"Wheat cannot be sold at present, and
we have therefore no quotations" Such
was the reading of our market report yes
terday' No market for whcatl Thirty
days ago il brought 81 0S and was in
quick demand. Nominally it is now held
at 80 cents, but nobody will pay more
than 80 for il. But say it is worth 90.
There are, il is estimated, four millions of
bushels remaining in the State. The ag-
gregate loss by the fall in price--1S s cents
on the bushels therefore seven hun
dred and twenty thousand dollars! And
this loss falls wholly upon the farmers.
Nor is this all. They lose in a like ra-
tion upon every other product, pork in
cluded. The loss to Tie farmers of Mich
igan upon their products on hand by the
fall in prices during the past month can
mol be less than a million of dollars
Will they permit US to tell them that
this loss has come altogether Of the result
Of the Presidential elections Will they
permit US 10 tell them that this is the
fruit of republicanism9 r,.
But the farmers of Michigan are no
worse off than those Of other producing
States. sa- .rf
And everybody else suffers. In this
connection, a New York Journal estimates
that the loss in New York City alone by
the depreciation of stocks since the elec-
ton has been two hundred millions of
dollars!
1t was costly luxury in which the
people INDUCED when they voted for LIN
COLIN. But those who did not assist TO
produce the calamity are equally the suf-
ferers with those who did. ~
And the end is not yet. 1t may be
that we are upon but the threshold of the
calamity. eI Free Press.

"IT's ME"

Passing neat little martin-box of n
house the other evening, we happened TO
see man waiting at the door for admit
lance. AT the instant, green blind
above just opened little way, and by
the gas-light We caught glimpse of a
pair of brilliant eyes, and Autter Of
something white and bird-toned voice
softly said, +" Who's there?" /" It's me-"
was the brief response. The eyes and
the fiutter disappeared from the window,
like stars in cloud, and we almost fam
cied, as We passed on, we could hear the
patteriug of two little feet upon the stairs,
winged with welcome. 1t was o trifle;
il all happened in an instant, but il haunt
cd us for an hour. "It's mel"s Amid
the jar of the city, those words fell upon
the quick ear aloft, and met a glad re-
sponse.

fender Of the faithful, in the best sense

give half their hearts, and more than
half the hope in them, for one such rec
ognition in this "wide, wide world" On
Change, in the Directory, at the Post
Office, he was known as A. B. c., ESQ. !;
but on that threshold, and within those
walls, "Its me-" and nothing more; and
what more is there one would love to be :
Few Of all the hearts that beat so Wild
ly, warmly, sadly, slowly, but can recog-
nize true soul amid the din and dark
ness of the world, in that simple but elo-
quent ats me-" AS if he had said:
"For am nothing TO all the world,
For I'm all the world to thee"

A NEw SEWING MACHINE MANUFACTURING
EsTABLIsHMENT.-By invitation of one of the
firm of s. F. Smith & Co., Col. Leffngwell,
we called at their rooms, over the store for
merly occupied by Jewett's Bookstore, and
examined a new Sewing Machine, called the
"May Queen" recently invented by the
Foreman of Their works, Mr.. Darcy Porter,
who has spent several years in perfecting his
machine. Having much experience as a
mechanic, and withal being exceedingly
skillful and ingenious, he has succeeded in
constructing a machine fully equal, in our
judgment, to any now made. The main
features of the May Queen" nre simplicity,
reliability and durability. The movements
are nearly all made by series of cams on
one shaft, and is much easier threaded than
any machine we ever saw. The balance
wheel is located on the side of the stand, thus
having it entirely out of the way of the oP-
orator. As the machine is driven by belt,
Mr.. Porter has fitted " loose pulley" by the
side of the driving pulley, thus enabling the
belt to be thrown of by slight movement
of the hand, and liberating the machine so
as to enable it TO be raised. This loose pull
ley We consider to be valuable improve
ment. All the oiling is confined to one local
ity, enabling all the oil drippings to be
caught in a small tin cup.
twill be well worth the while of all in
terested to call and examine the machine.
The firm consists of Col. Lucius Letting
well and Mr.. S. E. Smith. They intend to
manufacture largely, under the superintend-
ence of Mr.. Porter. For further particulars
see their advertisement in another column.
