after dinner and during the dessert.
At the tablc of the cldor President
Adams, Gouvcrnom Morris, then q
Senator in Congress from the State of
New York, was one Of tho invited. It
was at tho time of tho fcud existing
between tho President and General
Hamilton, arising from tho animad-
versions OF tho latter upon the sudden
compromise of our differences with
the French Republic. Mr.. Morris
was called on by Mr.. Adams for a
toast. "Nladam,' said he, "T will
give you tho health of my friend Ham
ilton." Tho lady Indignantly replied.
"Sir, that is toast mover drunk ot
this table" "Supposc, thcn, mad

COMING PLEASURES.

Shadow leaves of rugged clms,
Thrown on cool, green meadow plants !:
Light beyond, and lowered realms,
Passing bees deep organ>chants.
Plnmcs cg mir Tint touch the check
Like q rose, as soft and brief:
Happy thoughts that need not speak,
Tapped in rest and loves belief
Eippling stream by sun and shade,
Golden .mcshcl or amber deep;
Song Of bird and in!iing blade,
Where The distant corn they reap.
Such M hour is coming, sweet,
Banishing the anxious frown--
tanning ache and troubles heat
Bringing Heavenly angels down.

TIE NEED Or REsronArroy. The

ut Manchester, in that State, says that
never during the last thirty years, cx-
ccpt short time during the early d,va
OF the war, has the cotton and wooen
manufacturing business been in such a
depressed condition. The mills are
rnnninS at loss in Lowell, Lawrence,
an! most of tho other manufacturing
towns III Massachusetts, and through.
out Now england. The Union says
that tho Manchester mills and print
works have goods on hand unsoli to
the amount OF $2,0OO.OO0. The same
state OF things exists in other establish
mcnts-onc manufactory having sunk
$4,000 within few months.
In addition to this statement Of The
factories, it is said that the shoe bus.
ness, at Lynn, and other largo shoe
manufacturing towns in Now England,
is in n very depressed condition, as com.
pared with what it has been in former
years, when orders for shoes came in
thick and fast from the South and West.
Tho paper noticing this unfortunate
condition Of affairs attributes it to the
chaotic state Of tho political affairs OF
