Over at Burlington, Wisconsin, they
have got smart little wooden mill
which employs some twenty operatives
or more, and turns out l20 yards of
cloth daily. Ii is thriving, and it's
owners are about TO make extensive
additions TO their machinery.
A the Falls Of St Anthony there is
another woollcn mill which makes 500
yards Of cloth a day, and a new one is
soon TO begin running. The business
.ot making cloth there is profitable to
those engaged in it, Bat it is also
profitable To all the farmers in the
neighborhona. In the first place, Z.
Gives them home market for their
wool; in fact, much Of it is manufac-
tured for them on shares at these mills
Next, they get better prices for pork
beef, poultry, butter, eggs aud vegeta
bles, which they sell to the opertives
of the factories. And they not only
get better prices, but they are relieved
from all charges for transportation
and commissions. Instead of being
able To sell nothing but wheat or corn,
aud seeing its value swallowed up by
tue enormous charges upon those bull
ky articles on their way 10 New York
or Liverpool, they now raise less grain
and more of the pcrishable products
of the garden, the poultry yard, and
the dairy, and sell them at their own
door, for good prices and without any
charges at all. ........
This beneficial change is going on
throughout all this western country,
very gradually aud slowly indeed, but
quite perceptibly. The people every
where see the good Of it, aud they are
resolved that, so far as lies in their
power, ,tAe process shall not be stopped
Hence their indifference to all the de-
clamation OF copperhcads aud theorists
against the high profits Of manuiac.
turers. They see clearly that these
profits are, in the first place, the sign
of general prosperity in which all
classes are interested; and in the Sec
ond place, that such profits will lead
more rapidly and surely than would
otherwise be possible To the general
diffusion of manufactures throughout
all this agricultural region. This is
what they are bent upon achieving,
and they will not be diverted from it
by any scheme Of policy whose result
will be to break down these new Wes-
tern factories, and perpetuate old
monopolies whether at Leeds, Man.
chester, or Lowell.

The Dirty Little Boy.

HOW'D, JR.
There was dirty little boy,
Whose hands were never clean;
Oh. such a grubby urchin
Had ne'er before been seen
And how he wore his clothes out,
You hardly would believe:
He used to spit upon his slate,
And wipe It with his sleeve.
He shocked and grieved his parents,
Who did his state deplore.
And said: - Ii you go ON like this,
You II turn a blaekamoor!
:" So dark your skin is growing,
You re such ragged figure,
Your friends will all begin to think
That you re a little nigger!"
He did not heed the warning.
But blacker grew his skin;
His clothes were all in tatters,
So ragged, and SO thin
At length Planter met him,
And popped him in sack,
And set him hoeing sugar,
Because he was So black.
And still in that plantation
He tolls with grief and pain
For though he tends the sugar.
He only gets the cane.
NV little boy. IL you are wise,
You II scrub your hands with vigor,
Aud mind your clothes or else you ma
BE taken for niger!

that negroes shall not be bought and
sold and they are unanimous that the
Senators and Representatives shall not
