EXCITEMENT ON THE CoTToN CUES
TIoN.-We copy the following editoria
from Wilmer and Smiths (LiverpooI,
European Times of the 21st ult:
" Considerable excitement has beer
exhibited on Change in the cotton mark
ct. The sales have been very extensive
amounting to l43,250 bales during this
week, or about one-sixth of the entire
stock. OF these large sales 5G,830 bales
have been purchased by spectators ant
30,330 bales by exporters, at prices
higher than have been current for the
last t,centy,tfUe gears. A strong impres
sion prevails that unless an early termin.
alton of the present civil war in America
takes place, American cotton will advance
to one shilling per pound, which could
have been purchased at this period
last year at sixpence-halfpenny per
pound; inasmuch as the stocks in hand
are not equal to the requirements to the
close Of the year; and supposing our
own spnners were universally to COM
mence working four days per week, ia
say nothing Of the large and increasing
requirements for export consequent upon
the improbabiity Of any early shipments
from America of cotton to Russia, Spain,
France and Germany, or the increasing
demands from American spinners.
About 2o00 bales of American cotton
have this week been shipped to New
York and Boston. There need not,
therefore, be any surprise at the alarm
that las been created, and at the fears
now entertained as to our supply of cot
ton for the immediate future, inasmuch
as the stock OF cotton in Liverpool to-day
is only 487,230 bales American, and of
all kinds 828 200 bales, against 759,6S0
American, and total of 953,270 bales
at the same time last year. After this
period last year 800 600 American and
10000 bales of all kinds were received,
and Notwithstanding all this large supply
from numerous exporters, a demand OF
$4,000 American and Of all kinds of
$4,000 reduced the stock or the 3lst
December, 1860, to $4,000 American,
and of all kinds to 545, 900 bales. There
is now no American cotton at sea for this
and only 100000 bales Surat;
so that adding these to the present stocks,
and supposing our own spinners to take
0Re- third less from now to the close of
he year, and exporters 100000 bales
more than last year, there would be an
almost entire exhaustion of the stocks
lere on the 3lst Of December next. 1t
gill therefore be at once apparent how
essential to the prosperity Of the manu-
acturerS Of this country is an early set
lement of the unfortunate civil war now
aging in America"

III WE KNEW.


If we knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our ncighbor's way;
If we knew the little losses,
Sorely grieyous day by day,
Would we then SO often chidc him
For the lack Of thrift and gain
Leaving on his heart a shadow,
Leaving on his heart a stain
If we knew the clouds above US,
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling
In our blind and weak despair
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass,
While It's only birds Of Eden,
just in mercy flying past
If we knew the silent story,
Quvcrng through the hearts of pain,
Would our womanhood dare doom them
Back to haunts Of guilt againi
Life hath many a tangled crossing,
JOY hath many a break of woe,
And the checks tear-washed are whtest-
This the blessed angels know.
Let us reach into our bosoms
For the key to other lives,
And with love toward erring nature
Cherish good that still survives.
So that when our human prayers
Soar 10 realms of light again,
We may say Dear Father judge us
As we judge our fellow men.

The Music CHARM.-An illustration
Of. the mysterious influence of music or
the nervous circulation, and consequently
on the functions OF animals, we extrac
the following from one of Madame Bre
tano's letters to the great German poet
Goethe -
50 This winter l bad a spider in my
room when played upon the guitar il
descended hastily into a web which il
spun lower down. | placed myself be-
fore it and drew my fingers across the
strings. 1t was clearly seen how it Vi
brated through It's little limbs when !
the chord it changed its move
ments-they were involuntary; by each
different arpeggio, the rythm in lis mo-
tions was also changed it cannot be 9TH
little being was joy-pene-
trated, or spirit-imbued, as long as my
music lasted when they stopped, it re-
tired. Another little play-fellow was a
mouse, but he was more taken by vocal
music. He chiefly made his appearance
when l sung the gamut; the fuller
swelled the tones, the nearer it came in
the middle of the room it remained sit
ting. My master was much delighted
with the little animal he took great care
not to disturb him. When | sung songs
and varying melodies, he seemed to be
afraid he could not endure it aud has
tened away"

POETRY IN OLD FOLKS.

When have you seen, dear reader, a. more
beautiful sentiment, OF. one that
was expressed in more exquisite rythm and
than the following, from the M1
sical World;
often think each tottering form
That limps along in life's decline,
Once bore heart as young, as warm,
AS full of idle faults as minel
And each has had its dream of joy,
Its own unequalled, pure romance;
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrilled at lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell his tale of youth.
Would think Its scenes of love evince
More passions, more unearthly truth,
Than any tale before or since.
Yes, they could tell of tender lays
At midnight penned in classic shades,
Of days more bright than modern days
And maids more fair than mod ern maids
Of whispers in a willing ear
Of kisses on blushing cheek;
Each kiss, each whisper far too dear
Our modern lips to give or speak.
Of passions too untimely crossed;
OF passions sighted or betrayed
Of kindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossomed but to fade
Of beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And forms that have all passed away,
And left them what we see them now
And is it thus-is human love
So very frail and light thing?
And must youths brightest visions move
Forever on times restless wing.
Must all the eyes that still are bright.
And all the lips that talk of bliss,
And all the forms so fair to sight,
Hereafter only come to this?
Then what are all earth's treasures worth,
If we at length must lose them thus
If all we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from us?

About Geese.

About Geese.
Geese are not such :'geese' as We
think them; their movements are inn
PEELED and controlled by strong and
almost uncrring instincts. When wash
ing, or taking wing with clamorous-
noise and flying to water, they portend
rain. Geese are excellent guards against
fire or thieves, always watchful, and
giving notice by their noise of any un-
usual noise about them, as the citizens
of Rome experienced once, and ever af-
terwards remembered When wild,
geese are observed to migrate south ward
or westward in greater numbers than
usual in autumn or winter, they are
said to indicate hard weather, when to
the northward, warmer weather. In
general, the early appearance of fiocks
Of geese or other wild fowls in the
South forbodes a severe winter A Gu
rious illustration Of their instincts. is
seen in their flight, which is wedged-
shaped, the leader cleaving the air for
those who follow, and his place being
supplied by another, who pursues the
same course; which proceeding will at
once be seen to facilitate as much as.
possible the flight and preserve tho
strength Of the flock. This instinct in7
these migratory birds led Alexander
the Great to adopt the celebrated Mace
donian phalanx in his army.-Thc Gem.

The Pawnbroker's Golden Rule.

eff you expects to get on in this here
world said Mr.. Cramp to Mr.. Lorn,
'you must look at both sides of every
think Mans natur is rone.to deceive.
1t amt the gloss on coat as makes it
new; threadbare clothes is always the
shiniest. Handle folks as if they was
the weskits and trowsies they comes to
pop; hold 'em we'll up to the light, try
the strength of their seams and stitches,
take care the moth amt in 'em. The
uman art is full Of wickedness, and all's
not gold as glitters. A man comes to
you and says-so and so; don't trust
him; plated goods amt silver; if you
wants to get at the real thing, test it
with strong mind and aquafortis.-
Mems words is mostly outside show;
they don't mean what they expresses;
paste looks like diamonds till you gets
at the foil that's under.
Never belief arf man tells you, and
, don't offer more than a quarter what 8
asked. Snakes often lies id in the
grass; they rises their painted eds and
smiles; when female puts a pledge in

HES; think of the valley of the hobject,
not of the 'oney that trickles from her
tongue. Charity begins at 'ome; arts is
soft and eds is ard you owes your
dooty to your ed; else what are you
there for. The simble of our profession
is three gold balls, two at top and one at
bottom. When man is in want, the
world is two to one agin i'm; keep that
in mind, when parties pops the. .ne-ces-

GAR1BALDIIN,A HOSPITAL.

Mason Jones, describing in lecture
at Hull, England, some scenes he had
witnessed in the hospitals of Italy last
year, thus introduces the great Italian
Patriot Warrior:
81 went through these hospitals with
Garibaldi. We went from bed to bed,
the great General shaking hands and
giving a comforting word to every one
of the poor wounded lying in it, forgot
their suffering in the pleasure they ex-
perienced in beholding their noble com
mander. In one of the wards was a
young boy, only twelve and half Years
old, who had been seriously wounded in
the leg, while fighting in the verT front
of the battle of Volturno. He hal par
TALLY recovered, and when they entered
was busily employed polishing sword.
Garibaldi spoke to the boy kindly, and
then took him into his arms, and pressed
him fondly to his bosom, and then they
wept long and loudly together. We
next entered another ward, in which was
young Venetian, the son of a noble
man, who was just dying. He was also
one of the boys who had fought SO val
iantly in front of the battle of the Vol
turno. He had received four wounds in
various parts of his body, in consequence
of which he was then rapidly dying
Garibaldi asked him if he could do any
thing for him. The poor boy looked up
at the General, and gasped in piteous
tones: 'Oh, my beloved General, my
darling mother! shall never see you
more? Oh, do not forget my country
t t Viva GaribaldiP And then he lay back
and died Garibaldi stopped down, and
taking the dead body in his arms, he
kissed it, while the tears flowed plenti-
fully down his cheeks, as he said, No
no, no, l shall not forget, then, turning
to me, said, Liberty is not ecorth such
sacrifices as these. l do everything in my
power; but cannot do all that is in my
heart "

Importance of Manure.


A pertinent illustration on this point
is furnished by recent writer in the
Rural Neao- Yorker. He says: "In Phil
adelphia, last summer, l happened to
be in meeting Of pratical gardeners
Some one spoke rather lightly of the
value of manure, when the gardener of
Girard College arose and stated that he
had family of FIVE hundred to feed,
and the ease with which he was able to
do this, depended upon the amount of
manure he had on hand at the commence
ment of operations, With abundance Of
manure, he could supply all wants with
ease; if manure was short, he was OBJ
liged to work harder and accomplished
less, as he worked to disadvantage and
wasted labor"
