gave us last message to send to his vile

he wrung our hand most earnestly, and, put.

afterwards we were relieved Of our anxious

We have stated the price paid him for his

samples of cotton in the various stages oi
its manufacture into cloth, prepared by the
Pepperel! Company. Here might be seen
samples Of our own American cotton, and
also Surat, China, Smyrna, Egyptian and
Pcrnambuco, in the condition in which they
are sent to market. One could not but
wonder how the beautiful India cottons so
much priced by our mothers fifty years ago,
could be made out Of the dingy, dirty Sur
ats, and yet the wonder ceases as you fol-
low the process Of cleansing, and see the
beautiful, soft, silken fibre emerge from the
original matted mass Of cotton and dirt -
As we examine these samples carefully we
see how short the staple is, and difficult to
manufacture with our present machinery,
and how superior the American staple is for
the various kinds Of thread and cloth now
used by the civilized world.

OUR FUTURE.

The pale November sun looks down on fields with
battle red,
On bayonets' CLEAN, and sabres' fash, and changing
armies tread;
The chill November wind Is hoarse with cries OF
souls in pain,
Borne upward from q thousand homes whose loved
come not again.
For still Wars CHASTITY pennon floats DER river,
plain and hill,
Ger faces white with agony. and pale lips crushed
and still,
Yet steadily through blood and tears, the nations
mighty heart
Beats stronger with the nobler aims that through
her pulses start.
Though, ffom the darkness OF her past, the Egypt
Of her shame,
When her young limbs were bruised with chains
| her honor but name,
Through the Red sea OF Judgment still her earnest
steps must 90,
They're turned at last, thank God, toward heights
where purer sun-rays glow,
Already her enfranchlsed brow has caught the
kindling light,
Already rings the rallying cry for Freedom and
tho Right!
Oh not in vain our hopes, our prayers, have risen
through the years,
Since glorious fruItiOn comes, and faith has van
qulshcd fears.
From the dark anguish of to-day. our cOuntryyot
shall rise,
To nObler deeds and wOrthier life, through oil and
sacrifice;
Upon the rock OF changcless Right her shining feet
shall stand,
And healing gifts to oil the earth nOw from her
Outstretehed hand.
Opprcssion's curse no moro shall cling to her be-
loved name,
No more her regal head be bent beneath her weight
OF shame
Baptized anew In Freedoms name, her armor grid.
oil on,
She shall 20 forth regencrate tho Daughter Of the
Sun,
Tho waiting hosts in other lands, the weary and
oppressed,
In eager trust shall turn to her. the Shiloh OF their
rest;
Their thrsting lips shall drink anow nom living
founts OF truth,
Their souls immortal freshness find in her undying
youth.
So shall tho promise Of her dawn In glad fulalmsnt
shine, =. i-a. stt i...t
And fragrant bloom and graceful strength round
all her altars twino;
SO shall the errors OF her past find pardon and re-
dress,
And all the pillars OF her might in Truth and JUS
tice rest.
Oh Thou, before whom nations bow, speed on the
glorious day,
When overy stain our banner wears shall melt In
light away
Wien larger faith and holier love shall spread from

And In the newncss OF our life, Thy truth shall

On Honey.

The Committee, to whom was assigned
the delightful duty Of investigating the &C.
tual and comparative merits Of such speci-
mems Of Honey as should be presented Tor
exhibition at the York County Agricultural
Society's Fair, have endeavored to be as
prompt and faithful in the discharge thereof
as, in performance Of his moro laborious
and important task, the "little busy bee, v
who, according to the poet, which beguiled
our childhood,
"lmproyes each shining hour,
And gathers honey all the day,
From every opening flower"
Ii would be singular indeed, and a sad
commentary upon our dispositions II, alter
exercising to the fullest extent the right OF
testing cycrybody's sweets, VIC shall fail to
become, for the time being at least, CON-
paratiyely sweet and amiablc ourselves.
II may be indicate in us to say 1t, but
we fell at the time OF making up our report
less sour than is our wont. Whether this
happy frame will continue when we wake
up TO the stern realities Of life and find
there is no "lingering sweetness, long
drawn out" Of which we are to taste, the tu-
,urc only can determine.
We characterized our task at the outset
as delightful; and so il was, since we were
performing "life's sweetest Offices" which
can never be otherwise than attractive.-
But our soup Of bliss was not unmixed,"
and we had hardly commenced our tour OF
inspection when We found that oil the
youngsters in the room were wishing that
they were old enough to be assigned to so
important and exalted position as that Of
Committee on Honey. The young ladies
also cast envious glances at US when we
commenced the tasting process, and doubt
less wondered at the stupidity Of the d.
rec,ors In not giving this department into
the hands OF better judges Of the "sweets
OF h'e' than three rough old specimens Of
The "masculinc persuasion" who they
thought doubtless would be much better
Judges OF csitle, stone wall, cabbage heads,
pickles, &C., than Of the articles which thew
were then examining.
We are decidedly Of the opinion that the
directors did right in excluding the girls
from TINS committee. Being themselves as
sweet as ldssss" Il would be simply impos.
s'olc Tor ihem TO decide as correctly an men
VINO nave become soured by contact with
the world. Hut while for the aboye reason
We commend the Directors in excluding H.
dies from this particular COMMITTEE wc
think they might have made a morc ,u5;.
cious selection. How can Il be crncc,.d
that men whose rough experience in the
moving field has made them better scou. mt.

| than with the he1sgonal cells Of the honey

dertook to compare siceet." This may be
oil right in the abstract-yery pretty in the
ory-but exceedingly difficult in apPlica-
tion. For instance, all the honey on exhl-
bition was positively sweet-such being the

superlative.
So far then as sweetness and flavor are
concerned we had better say at once that we
were almost unable to decide which lot ex.
celled-,hcre being four entries made. But
after mature delberation we arrive at the
following conclusion:
To entry Nos. l70 aud III, two boxes
from one hive, presented by Mr.. John Han
scom, of Saco, we award the Society's first
premium of $500, for the best quality OF
honey.

VIC award the Socic,y's second premium

third premium of Book.
Entry No. los, presented by Mr.. I. Z: s.
