whereupon q colored friend stepped forward and
paid II for him. With an admonition from the

SUPPLY OF COUNTRY MILK TO LON
DoN.-The monthly supply Of milk from
the country into London is sos, 900 gal
Ions. The western counties contribute
100000 gallons, the eastern counties
125, 200 gallons, and the northern coun-
ties $4,000; Hants and Berks send
$4,000; and from other districts the
daily supply is augmented by Is, 500
gallons. Kent and Sussex are the low
est contributing counties ; and at the
present daily averages $500, 900 gallons
of milk are annually brought from the
country to London and this is inereas-
ed by metropolitan dairyman to an ex-
tent of another third, and is daily re-
tailed out to about 100000 customers.
The aggregate supply of milk consign-
ed to London Is the produce of 10000
COWS in the country. The wholesale
prices charged at an average of two
shillings per barn gallon, e qts., and
the value of milk brought to London
for consumption represents sum of
9e6O, 400 per annum--Mark Lane Ec-

We do not know of any rebel Gener-

We do not know of any rebel Gener-
al who fought more gallantly on the
wrong side than did Gen. Longstreet,
and we recall no act of his during the
rebellion-independently of the guilt
of rebellion itself-of which he need
now be ashamed. As he fought brave
ly, he surrendered honorably, and his
letter, which we print to-day, is proof
of his honesty. When we find such a
man declaring that he shall be happy to
work for reconstruction in any harness,
and that it matters not whether he
bears the mantle of Mr.. Davis or Mr..
Sumner, We cannot too highly applaud
his courage and good sense. Appeal
was made to the sword, and the sword
has decided it, says General Longstreet.
He accepts the Military bill as a peace
offering, censures,by strong implication,
the Democratic party for opposing re-
construction, believes that colored suff-
rage should be established in all the
States, and expressly declares that Sou
thern men cannot seek alliance with
any party wich aims TO restrict the
rights Of colored men. This is pro-
gressive, and these frank and manly
opinions, coming from one of their trust
ed soldiers, should teach the misled
Southern people that it is neither for
their dignity nor their interest that
they should endeavor to resist the laws
and evade the terms OF the Government
which subdued their rebellion.-N. Y.

WHAT IS 4 DAY +?

How often have we heard this re-
mark. What is day e? Can we not
spend it as we choose, free for once to
throw aside the trammels of business,
the cares of life, and the obligations of
duty? May we not postpone these
/ matters till tomorrow and give loose
reins to the wings of fancy to-day p
What is a day? The brig ght and glo-
rious sun shines in the cloudless firma-
ment. The breath of June is ladened
with the incense of flowers, the woods
echo with the songs Of birds, the bos-
som of mother earth is clothed with the
fresh and sinless vestments of summer.
Nature walks forth in the richness of
her beauty, inviting to voluptuousncss
and pleasure let us repose then upon
her bosom and give care and toll to the
winds. What is a day? [ hear the
old clock ticking steadil y in the corner,
and ask what is a second? ? The ham,
mer strikes the hour? | see the sun
rise and set, and ask what is day?
What is it ? The spring came with the
winds of March and went with the flow
ers of May. Summer is measuring by
seconds, hours, and days it's ceaseless
tread, and soon will be gone. The au-
tumn and winter will succeed, and what
is year All! how the mysterious
mind is cheated of it's being how
thoughtlessly it is being borne along to
its mysterious destiny All great re-
suits are reached little by little, step by
step.
The longest journey is accomplished
inch by inch, the greatest wealth pen
ny by penny, the most splendid ac-
quirements are made up of items in
themselves small and insignificant
Take from the ocean drop of water
every year, and in the end you would
drain it dry. Blot out a star each CEN
tury, and the heavens would in time be
robbed of every gem. Extract from
the earth grain of sand for every gen.
Grafton of mankind, and at last it would
cease to be. Yet what is drop of wa
ter, star grain of sand in the universe
of God. -?
When Tiberius was near his end he
hesitated as to whom he should appoint
as his successor in the Roman empire.
He ordered his grandson Tiberius and
nephew Caius should be invited to his
apartment one morning, and appealing
to the gods to decide the question, pri-
vately determined in his own mind that
the youth who came first should have
the crown. Young Tiberius delayed
an hour, and the empire was lost and
won. The story has lesson to my
purpose. [ repeat, what is day ? And
answer, perhaps point on which hangs
the fortunes of this life, perhaps the is
sues of the life to come. One thing is
certain, a day may be lost but never
can be regained. You suffer it to float
down into the ocean of the past, but
yoa can never recall one of its most
feeting moments; you may lose thus
an opportunity of acquiring good or
doing good, but that opportunity will
never be yours again. You have a day
you could apply to the acquiring intel
iectual stores; you neglect it,and there
lose just that amount of knowledge for
ever. You may throw away the fruits
OF one days labor by idleness, and you
are that much poorer all your life.
