Agriculture In Alabama.

At plantation sale in Alabama recently, only
ATTY cents were bid for cotton gin in good
order, five cents each for ploughs, and CORES
pondiIg @ sums for other agricultural implements.
Mules ami horses also brought very low prices.
The Mobile Times says there is no doubt, from
the general expression, that experienced planters
have abandoned the idea of farming on the old
extensive scale as impractcabe. and the offer
ing of many large plantations for rent, in guam
titles to suit men OF small means, seems to con-
firm this view. 1t is generally believed that free
labor is as cheap as slave labor; the chief
difference being that the labor cannot now be
controlled and directed so as to meet the real
exigencies of the farming season.

Miscellany.

The Worcester Mass Board of Aldermen
are either set of Shakespearian ways, or
the alternative is left open. In anticipation
OF the Presidents recent passage through
their town, these worthy officials met to ''take
action" upon the course to be pursued toward
the Chief Executive, and after brief debate,
the following preamble and resolution were
adopted:
"Whereds, Information has been received
that the President of the United States will
pass through Worcester on the route of his
journey from Washington to Boston; and,
whereas, a sense of propriety might dictate
that some official action be taken in behalf OF
this city, in recognition of the presence of the
chief officer of the nation:
resolved, That the Board of Aldermen deem
it inexpedient to take any action upon the
matter

Poetry.
The Loved not Lost.
BY JOHN c. WHITTIER.

How strange il seems with so much gone
Of life and love, to still live on!
All, brother, only / and thou
Are left of all that circle now
The dear home faces whereupon
That fitful freight paled and shone.
Henceforward, listen as we will,
The voices of that hearth are still;
Look where we may the wide earth DER
Those lighted faces shine no more.
We tread the paths their feet have worn,
We sit beneath their their orchard trees,
We hear like them the hum of bees
And rustic of the bladed corn;
We turn the pages that they read,
Their written words we linger Ger,
But in the sun they cast no shade,
No voice is heard, no sign is made,
No step is on the conscious floor!
Yet Love will dream, and Faith Will trust,
(Since He who knows our needs is Just,)
That somehow somewhere meet we must.
Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through his cypress trees!
Who, hopeless, lays his dead away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mournful marble play!
Who hath not learned in hours of faith.
The truth to flesh and sense unknown,
That Life is ever Lord to Death,
And love can never lose its ownl
