Contentment at Home.

O, the songs Of home have deeper tone,
Than those Of tie far away:
And the souistruug Lutte is duh and mute
To those OF a foreign lay.
The sailor may ride er the bounding tide,
And live on the stormy sea;
But the crested wave aud the ocean cave
Had never charm for ne.
Wealth seckars may HE meath an alien sly,
IN search Of richer cline,
But the golden ore on the far-oG shore
Has never a thought OF mine.
The soldier may reign or the tented plain,
And glory in danger see;
But the trumpet call and the deadly bal!
Were ever dread to me.
The rover may roam far or from his home,
And pleasure in roaming fad;
But lonely to stray o or the waudcFcr's way,
Was never a wish Of mine.
But dearly prize my native skies,
And is here content mud
Should give my hand to another land,
Ny heart | should leave behind.

sire to prescribe rules for others, but
our course will be to adhere to real
values, to be always ready to sell at
fair market rates, but never to hasti-
ly sacrifice woods. We cannot see
why wool for the next six or twelve
months should not maintain, at least,
it's present value; and those who can
not afford to hold them a reasonable
time after buying, had better pur
chase lightly, and only at figures
showing a good margin on present
market rates. Not that we anticipate
any immediate material decline in
wool, but that the orders which some
consignerS give to sell 'on arrival
may, when literally carried out, lead
to unsatisfactory sales, and thus give
rise to more fuctuation in the market
than the state of the trade would
create or justify. Wool cannot be
sold, without sacrifice, at an hours
notice, like -four or grain, and this
fact is not sufficiently borne in mind
by shippers. Manufacturers are, just
now, very cautious in their purchases
in market, and some are in the c0un-

that the demand in the Eastern mark

The Wool MARKET. - Walter
Brown & Co.'S Monthly Wool Cir
cular, for July, contains the following
remarks:
Transactions in domestic wool
for the past month have been quite
limited, and were confined mostly to
closing up remnants Of large con-
signments and such small parcels as
have come in at the close of the sea-
son. Prices have, as consequence,
been irregular, and can scarcely be
regarded as a criterion of the real
market value of wool. This irregu.
larity will perhaps continue to some
extent for the next one or two months
as the anxiety to effect immediate
sales will probably induce some
agents to accept prices unnecessarily
low, and thus injure the market fol-
all. 1t is not for the interest of
either buyers or sellers that woo
should be sold above or below it:
market value, while, on the contrary
regularity of sales as compared will
market values, is of benefit to al
parties. We do not propose or de

indicates the defeat OF the constitution by large
majority, but rcs,Ors OF majOrities either way are
mere speculation and nothing definite can be known
until the votes are counted. The election has gen.
orally been quiet, but serious disturbance was
threatened In the city about four O'Clock this after
