The FARMERS AND THE TINES A coun-
try paper, descanting on the times as they
effect business, says farmers will have no
hard times. Crops are good, prices will be
good for everything excepting hay. the plcn-
teousncss of which all over the country will
make it very cheap. While the farmers
will be getting good prices for their produce,
the price of everything they consume, cloth
ing, dry goods, groceries, all will be cheap
This pleasant prospect ought to induce all
who know anything about farming to turn
their industry in that direction. Other
branches of business certainly do not present
so nattcring

The Trent Affair.

The latest version of the position of this
country On the Mason and Slidell affair, is that
two weeks ago or more, and before the English
storm bArst upon us, Mr.. Seward sent instruc-
sions to Mr.. Adams, our minister at the Court
of st James, stating the position Of our Gov
eminent in this matter and also stating that
Capt. Wilkes acted entirely on his own author
atty. Those who accept this version attribute the
delay in any communication between Lord Lyons
and Secretary Seward to desire on the part of
both 20 wait for the English Government to Le
informed, through Mr.. Adams, of Secretary Sew
ard views, in the expectation that they would
have tendency to essentially molily the bcli-
gerent feelings of England towards US, and pos
sibly load to more peaceful instructions to Lord
Lyons. Th@ Tibune's Washington correspon-
dent positively asserts that, up to Christmas
Eve, no official consideration Of the question
had heea had between Lord Lyons and Secretary
Seward, but that their meetings had only been
formal and friendly.
The death Of Prince Albert, it was thought
at Washington, might have an important and
favorable effect upon English feeling. 1t was
considered probable that, in the delicate sta e of
the Queen s health, with her hereditary tenden-
cy to insanity, the blow might be SO severe as to
lead to her abdication, and u resignation of the
Ministry, and new and more peaceful policy
IN The Government. These speculations are
gwen for what they are worth. Some of them
ma be verified by the facts, but many of them
will hot be- In the meantime the apparent
equanlmity Of the Government at Washington
does great deal toward allaying apprehensions
Of immediate war.

University of Bonn, during three acadelnical
sessions. In July, 1898, he visited England, in
company with Leopold Kintf of Belgium, and
spcn, some time ut the court Of the Youthful
queen, and in Nov, 1882 it was formally an
nounced to the privy council, by the queen

with Prince Albert. The secret had long been
public property, but was kept in suspense by
the decorous contradictions of the ministerial
journals. The marriage was s0le,nnized Feb
10, 1910. For the purpose of rendering him
perfectly independent, the muniicent personal
allowance of $l50,O00 year was made to him
by Parliament Beside which, he was field.

lie was man of refined taste and an accom-

by his position to interfere in politics, he occu.
pied himself with experimenting the education
of his children. The progress of the arts and
sciences. and general phianthropic subjects,
such az the dwellings Of the working classes, -
sanitary arrangements, &C., also engaged his at.

personal interest. AS President of the Soce.

great exhibition of 1851. Similar exhibitions
confined to native productions, had been long
held in Paris, Brussels, and even in Manchester
and other towns of England But when the
idea of holding one in London was suggested to
Prince lbert, he readily adopted it and zealousl,
co-operated in the scheme OF extending it to tho
whole world. The popularity which, for a lonp
time, he had enjoyed with all classes, was for d
brief space overloaded, in 1855, when rumor.

THE PRESIDENT ON THE TRENT ArFAIR.-We
assign very little Importance to the current ru-
NOR, respecting the exciting topic of the day,
but the following, from an editorial in the New
York Commercial Advertiser, seems entitled to
some notice on the score of It's source:
ave knoc that within few hours of the
fact Of the arrest of Mason and SIdell being
made known to the President, he entertained
and expressed the opinon that The prisoners
mast be giren up; and few men could bring to
the examination of the subject clearer head, q
pnrer patriotism and keener sense of what is
right in tho premises than President Lincoln.
The same difficulty probably presented itself
to his mind that has been raised by the law Off
COTS OF the English Crown, viz /: that it was
Capt. Wilkes duty to flfH The whole lar, and
MOI 10 elect which part of it he would obey and
what part disobey, however much he might
shrink from the suspicious and tho allegations
which might in consequence be directed against
him.

The Playmate.
BY JOHN @. SANE.

~ N-'-A-'
The pines were dark OH RamOth hill,
Their song was soft and low;
The bloss ms in the sweet May wind
Were falling like the snow.
The blossoms drifted at our feet,
The orchard birds sang clear;
The sweetest ard the saddest day
II seemed of all thu year.
For, more to me than birds or flowers,
My playmate left her home,
And took with her the laughing Spring,
The music and the bloom.
She kissed the lips of kith and kin,
She laid her hand in mine
" What more could ask the bashfu boy
Who fed her fathers kire'
She left us in the bloom OF May.
The constant years told o'er
Their seasons with as sweet May morn,
But she came back no mere.
I walk with noseess feet, the round
OF uneveutful years
Still ocr and DER SOW he Spring
Aud reap the Autumn ears.
She lives where all the golden year,
Her Summer roses blow;
The dusky children of the sun
Before her come and go
There happily with her ieweed hands
She smooths her 81 ken gown,-
No more the lomcspun lap Shcrcin
/ shook the walnuts down
The wild grapes wait us by the brook
The brown NUS on the hill,
And stll the May.day flowers make sweet
The woods OF Folly mill.
Thu lilies blossom in the pond,
The bird builds in the tree,
The dark pines sing on Ralnoth hill
The slow song of the sea.
wonder if she thinks OF them,
And how the old time seems
IF ever the pines of Ramoth W ood
Are sounding in her dreams.
l see her face, hear her voice
Does she remember mine:
And what to her is the boy
Who fed her fathers kine'
What cares she that the orioles build
For other eyes than ours.
That other hands with nuts are Alled
And ether laps with flowers!
O playmate in the golden time
Our messy scat is green,
Its flinging vo!cts blossom yet,
The old trees DER it lean.
The winds so sweet with birch and fern
A sweeter memory blow
And there in Spring the veerics sing
The song of lcng ago.
And still the pines of Ramoth wood
Are moaning like the sea -
The moaning Of The sea of change
Between myself and thee
