LABOR


D.
Warm-heaned labor 10 the fields
Is nobler than the courts of state,
For she, a, least, with truth can say,
That all her ends are good aud great
She moves, princess full Of smiles.
With ripened plenty IN her arms,
And casts above her gifts, and sees
The hillsides full OF golden Charms,
She comes BY belts Of ripcncd corn,
Andvmes hat bend with purple wealth
by orchards dropping crimson fruits,
Blowing the golden airs Of health.
She wears a lourfUld crown begirt
With the Tour seasons flashing br 'ghi
On all her children as they come,
Gathering around her with delight.
She goes by streams and dusty mills,
BY meadows full of purple bloom;
All perfect in her godliness,
With blessings for the humblest home.
She walks ON solid ground, and bares
Her brow to feel the breath Of morn
Aud hear the bugle breczes blow
Among the emerald bladed corn.
She dots the sea With stately ships,
Aud looks across the world TO SEQ
Her harvests grow, and reapers reap
The golden grain in harmony.
She moves, and all her steps arcl flush
With starry flowers and healing balm,
She looks ON passion, and the storm
Is hushed, ard all is pure aud calm.

what is moro, she knew how to at

not much prettier than dozens o
other young ladies, but everything
about her was in harmony, and
people had fallen into the habit Of
calling her beautiful. She had 8

The Constitutional Amendment IL

Ilcarken not to those false politica

party of your fellow-countrymen
would now seek to humiliate OF
degrade you. All who love the
Union would greet You at the pros
pect Of blessed peace, point you to
the restoration Of the Union, and
welcome You to enjoy, as equals
and friends and fellow-citizens

Mistrllanruas,
Cereal Crops and the Export Trade.

ONASWA NANPe UhN buV bApOlb lldutt
Sufficient time has elapsed since
the heavy rains and frosts in the
Northwest, to lorn a tolerable cor
rect estimate of the damage sus
tained by the corn crop. We have
received mass of information up
on the subject from correspondents
and newspapers, whose means Tor
procuring it are superior, which
forces the conviction that much of
the fear that has been expressed
for the crop has been based upon
superficial observation.
That the yield is somewhat cur
tailed there is no reason to doubt !;
but from tho largely increased area
of ground seeded, the concurr MT
testimony of those who have made
careful inquiry, aided by AN extend
cd observation aud collection of
.evidenoe, ia, that the damage has
not been sufficiently great to pre-
vent the harvesting of larger crop
this year in the Northwest than in
any previous season in its history.
That there will be u mu n larger
supply of unsound corn, th6re is
every reason to l., lieve.
The agricultural report OF Sep.
Itember places the crop at more than
| 900, 200, 900 bushels. adding that
late fears Of killing irosts
have been realized only to small
extent, yet recently deluging rains
have overaowod largo areas of ri.
pening corn in the West, AMI re.
tarded it's maturing, generally
.arousing some approximations OF
inferior quality in that which is not
fully matured
Later advices may altor the pres
ent inspect OF tine question of sup
ply, aud upon this, many impor.
tant contingencies will hinge, aud
among them the extent of the export
trade aud the prices Of hog pro.
ducts.
Pork operators are watching the
course oi events with more than
the usual degree Of interest. The
stock OF pork all over the country
is very light, the quantity in this
market being, Oh the 1st instant,
only forty seven thousand six hun
dred and 8 sxty.five barrels the
lightest supply for many years.
Corn has lately advanced mate
rally, but the improvement in the
price Of pork has been quite unim.
portant, the article being, at the
present high prices, rather delicate
to handle, owing to the difficulties
which envi ons the trade.
With regard to the export trade
in corn and other cereal crops, the
prospects look moro encouraging
Tho adyices which have reached us
from the othor side of the Atlantic
ior some time past have not been ia
vorable as regards the agricultural
interests, either in Great Britain or
on the continent. af
The SIMMER has been cool and
unreasonable, and during harvest,
a large amount OF rain fell which in
jured the grain crops moro or less
and this, coupled with the fact that
they were below an average, has
caused a gradual advance in prices,
with a strong marker. The limits
ofshippers have lately been raised,
md this encourages the hope that
We may have a brisk demand dur.
in @ the winter and spring. i
The light receipts and high pri-
ces, however. continue to operate
as a serious drawback to the export
trade, ard an easy money market
has the a tendency to aggrayate
matters by enabling spectators to
largely control prices.7N 7. Ship.
