The Cotton Edmine.-The Lon
don Economist takes the view that
the settlement of the Mason and
Slidell case ends all chance of OBJ
tanning cotton from this country
for some time to come. The Econ
omist makes the statement that
'.hitherto we have not received
bag of the crop of 1861, nor shall
we until the blockade be raised"
The amount Of cotton on hand
January lst, is set at 100000
bales; it is estimated that spinners
may have 10000 more, and that
the arrivals from India, Egypt, and
Brazil in the next six months will
be 100000, making a total up to
July lst of 100000 bales. The
factories are expected to work on
the average for. two-thirds Of the
time, curtailing the weekly con-
sumption to 10000 bales, while
the export is estimated to fall to
5000. This makes a consump-
ton forthe time named of 9SS,000
bales leaving but $4,000 on hand

summer, unless q change occurs,

has passed." Z .tg 'eEiao2
| The gentle wife was bewildered
at first, nay almost frightened, for
the speech of her husband was so
wild and incoherent, she feared
his brain was turned. But ere
long he spoke of the resolution he
had made. He did not tell of any
trial he was going to make, but
told her of the iron will that had
entered his soul. The night of
his temptation had passed, and the
day of salvation had dawned.
A few moments more, and the
husband and wife were upon their
knees. Their emotions were too
deep for utterance-too wild and
thrilling for speech. A moment
they struggled there, and then
wept in silence.
The little boy crept to the spot,
and threw his tiny hands about the
necks of his parents, for even his
young soul had caught the spark
of the new life that had been
breathed into existence within this
happy home.
The next morning, Malcolm
Warren arose a better and a hap
pier man. He was calm NOW, and
he told Alice all that transpired
the night before, and when it was
all told they prayed as redeemed
souls alone can pray. oi ~
Days, weeks, and months passed
away, and Malcolm Warren be-
came once more the handsome
youth that had been loved and
cherished by honest friends in
hours gone by. The flowers OF
affection bloomed again about his
hearthstone, and the angel Of peace
and joy made a home beneath his
roof. - a,,, 4.ra.a Id

"No, no, Alice, | am going out;
What! crying? Now what's the
use of that? Can't a fellow so out
once ard awhile without leaving a
crying wife,
Il can't help it, Malcom, But
here, kiss NE before you GO "
Thus spoke Malcom Warren
and his young wife. Malcolm
was a young man twenty-seven
years Of age, and a carpenter by
trade. His wife was one of the
sweetest dlspositioned girls in
town, and she made one OF the best
of1wives. She loved her husband
with the whole energy ct her
pure soul, AMI She knew that she
was beloved in heart. Her two
children, q boy and girl, often
saw her shed tears when they
were alone with her in the snug
little sitting room, and the boy
was old enough to ask what made
his mother cry, but she dared not
tell him.. .,.r
Malcom Warren owned the lit
tie cottage in which she lived, and
he had paid for it all out of his
own earning, while Alice had
borne her share of the burden by
purchasing all, the furniture
Malcom was stout and an excel
lent workman, and he had never
vet seen the hour when he needed
to lay idle for the want of work.
a better hearted youth lived not
in town, and when he took the
gentle Alice for his wife there was
manya a fair maiden whose bosom
gave place to a kindly, wistful en-
Wy. They would not have robbed robbed
Alice of her prize, they only
hoped that their own lot might be
as fortunate. Why, then, should
a cloud come upon that house?-
why should Alice weep? All,
far the same reason that thousands
of our fairest daughters weep
For the same reason that hot tears
ARE ever crying out theirsilent ap-
Epeals for mercy-tears that run
until they make a food that fairly
shrieks as it, rolls over our land.
Malcom Warren had a high SO.

iby all who could secure it; and he
had been indulging in the false

petite to gain strength. At. FIRST

found his companions. The laugh
and the joke commenced, and ere
long Malcolm forgot all about home
He sat in the bar-room, and hls
sharp wit made food for much mer-
riment.
sWho says there's danger in the
bowl" !" cried a young man as he
raised the glass tohis lips.
.'It's the ravens croak," said
another Of his companions
"Here's confusion to the idea."
"Good!" exclaimed Malcom War
rem posing his glass. 'Poison in
the bowl, nonsense! Look at old
Uncle Adam now. He's used it
all his lifetime and here he is, the
Oldest man in town. Come, here's
to old Uncle ADAM ,r-s. ex
The person to whom Malcom
had thus alluded, was an5oid white
haired man, who stood at the bar
with a glass Of rum in, his hand,
His name was Adam Stanford, and
almost ninety years had rolled
over his frosted head. His form
was bent, and his limbs trembled,
and still he lived, and his mind
was vet clear. He heard the re-
mark the carpenter made; and hay
ing set down his untouched liquor
he turned and gazed upon the
youthful speaker. He knew Nal
com Warren well.
"Malcom," /" he said, "come alone,
for alone l would speak with you.
Come" ,self
There was something very deep
and meaning in the old mans
voice, and as he turned towards
the door, Malcom arose to follow.
"Detain him not" said Adam,
as some of his companions sought
to hinder him.
ssWhy should | go with your

Passing out the door they
moved across the street. Near
by was the village church-yard,
and thither he bent his steps,
Arriving ut the gate he paused
When Malcolm hesitated to enter
the old man said.
'Come, follow me.
Malcom went and soon they
stood within the village church
yard. And this white-haired man
was the sexton, who for sixty
wears had made those beds for the
children of Immortality. { h e
pale moon shed its beams upon
the place, and, the chilling air
sighed mournfhlly among the
weeping willows that grew by the
hedge. The grave stones stood
like spectresamong the faded grass,
and here and there arose q white
monument, like some more power
full spirit that watched the sancti-
ty of the place.
"Malcom Warren spoke the
old man, in voice SO deep that it
seemed to come from one OF the
neighboring graves, "not long
since you pointed to me as an e2- :
ample how long man might live
who smiled upon the wine cup
You pointed to me us one who had
outlived all my companions, and
yet as one who had always quailed

rested there, be forgot the bad com
pany he had left behind at tht
tavern, and his thoughts became
serious.
"Malcom.'' resumed the sexton
l"I can look back into the past ano
see a score Of young men who com
menced the trade of life with me
We went to school, and we sat in
church together. We loved the
excitement of the Intoxicating cup,
and we thought not then of the
dangers we were courting. Years
passed on and | saw those twenty
men sink into the arms Of death;
and / buried them all here
Malcom Warren, they all sleep
in drunkards' graves! Cne after
another | saw them fall, and at
length I was left alone of the
party who were wont to assemble
around TIE bar-room fire."
A deep groan escaped from the
young mans lips and a shudder
ran through his frame. p
"All gomez" be asked.
"Yes-alI!' the old man NUT
tered. "But this is not half, Nal
colin. Their wives and children
have died, and they, too, lie here!
Oh how well can l remember the
bright-eyed, laughing, loving girls,
who used to play with us when we
were boys! And how we'll can |
remember when I saw them at the
altar; and when they turned away
from the place they were blushing
brides. g. -i 2 ''l's
But a few short years and | be-
gan to gather them into the folds
of death. They sank down with
broken hearts and crushed hopes!
Some of them lived to be gray
headed, but their gray hairs came
down in sorrow to the grave! See
that crave; the one with the dark
gray stone. He who sleeps be-
meath that mound was once the
happiest youth in the village. He
was carpenter by trade; he built
the house inwhich you were born.
He used to laugh and sing over
the wine cup, and he thought not
then of harm. / once heard his
Young wife beg him to remain
home with her, but he refused her
the boon. She told him she was
cold and hungry, and that 1.-The chill
den needed clothing, but he heed
ed her not A few short years af-
terwards that wife's heart broke
and she died, and her children per-
ished with cold. The husband
and the father I found enc cold
night lying by the roadside dead!
These are the graves, for L buried
them all together. You can see
the wiie's grave beyond the gray
stone Of the husbands, and these
two little graves are where he the
the frozen boy and girl" s.i
The old man drew his sleeves
across his eyes and wiped away
the tears, and while he did SO, Nal
com bowed his head, and groaned
mournfully.
"Malcom Warren" he said,
"there was once q full regiment OF
stout soldiers followed Napoleon
Bonaparte into Russia. There were
many other regiments went also
but of one in particular have ]
read. Of that whole company
of men, only one solitary indivld'
ual lived to return to the home OF
his birth. All the rest died on tbs
way. They were starved and fro

: regiment do I stand here a llvns
!, man."
The youth gazed up in the fact
of the speaker, and new emotions
, were working upon his features.
"come, Malcom, / would show
you one spot before we go.
The old man leaned upon his
staff. and moved Slowly on among
J the grave stones, and involuntarily
did the youth follow. At length
: they stopped by a spot where two
graves lay side BY side. The slabs
were of marble, and they glistened
brightly in the moonlight.
1 "Malcom,' spoke the sexton in a
) deep whisper, 81 remember well
when I made these tive graves
There was no sorrow to fill the
beds which here | made; they
who sleep here died amid the
sweet breathings of peace and
honor. They were good, virtuous
people, and when they were gone,
Tour townsmen mourned, for our
Village had lost its most noble
spirits. @, | love to come and
stand over these graves, for | know
that God smiles upon theml-
!; There is no taint of dishonor here.
Malcom, do you know who rests
in those two graves?
/ The youth did not answer, nor
did he raise his head, but with one
deep wild cry he sank down ard
there he lay across the graves
weeping and sobbing like q child.
His father and mother slept there!
4 For a while the old man gazed
I tearfully upon the scene, and then
he took the youth by the arm and
aroused him up. 1
fCome, Malcom,' he WHISPERED,
"we win go away now; l can show
you no more"
i The youth followed the guide
out from the churchyard, and af-
ter the gate was closed, they
passed on to the street. Here Ad-
am Stanford stopped. 80
| '1Now, Malcom," he said, @you
can return to your companions at
the tavern, but let me pray you
never use my name as you did thls
evening. When you again think
Of poor old Adam Stanford, think
only Of what he has told you in
the church-yard, think of what he
has seen, and Of what you may in
welcome speak"
The old man turned partly away,
when Malcolm sprang forward and
caught him by the arm.
"Uncle Adam" he uttered in
choked and broken accents, 90,
forgive me for what l have said
and done. IL cannot speak, but
l shall 60 to the tavern no more.
