Means Committee sat to day, and made
rapid progress on their sections OF the

Selected Poetry.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

The racing river leaped and sang
Full blithely in the perfect weather,
All round the mountain cohoes ring,
For blue and green wero glad together.
II.
This rained out light from every part,
And that with songs Of JOY was thrilling
But, in the hollow ofmy heart,
There ached place that wanted filing.
Before the road and river meet, g
And stepping-stones arc wet and glisten
heard sound Of laughter sweet,
And paused to like it, and to listen,
heard tho chanting waters flow,
Tho oushats note, tho bees low hum
ming,
Then tasaed The hedge, and did no. know
how could l?--that my time was coming
A girl upon the bighest stono,
Half doubtful Of the deed, was standing
30 far the shnllow flood bud aown
Beyond the 'customed leap Of landing.
She knew not any need Of mo,
Yet mo she waited oil unweetng;
We thought not had CROSSED the sea,
And half the sphere to give her meeting.
VII.
wadcd out, her eyes y mot,
wished the moments had been hours
] took her in my arms, and set
Her dainty feet among the flowers.
VIII.
ller fellow maids in copsc and lane,
Ah still, methinks, l hear them calling
The winds soft whisper in tho plain,
The cushaps coon, tho water falling
TX.
But now 1t is q year ago,
But now possession crowns endeavour
took her IN my heart, to grow
And fill the hollow place forever.

STOCKS n MONEY.

The Stock market opened weak this
morning, without much disposition
either to buy or sell. The telegram

feet in tough clay" About Ss,533 in
bullion was sent down, being dimin-

breaking Of a part Of the amalga-

main difficulty Of the market. II is diff
fcult 10 carry stocks, no matter what
the confidence in their values may be.
This is apparent in the high prices paid
buyers option as compared with the.
cash rates. These influences are very
temporary. Money is in active demand
for business purposes, and this week
particularly so, Three steamers take
their departure-onc for China and two
for Pauama-and n is due that will
require money for duties. These carry
a considerable amount Of remittances,
and the passengers carry large amounts
of money, all Of which are to BIO
provided for at once. Attic sam time,
a sort OF combination was formed yes
terday in certain quarters to increase
the stringency by artificial means
checking out balances, etc. Under all
these circumstances, the Stock market
felt n certain pressure, which, however,
is already passing. The remittancea
this week will be large, and it so hap
pens that there have been of late few

without success. S,ippuration occurred

LoGic or OpposITIoN.-An old mer-
chant of Naples, named Merelli, who
had rcalizeda splendid fortune, formed
a resolution, never, on any occasion, TO
lose sight Of the wsllso T the city that had
witnessed the growing Of his prosperity.
He was q man of great fxity OF purpose,
and fully content with his means, wal
beyond The reach Of temptation /; never
theiess, the duke set himself tho task Of.
overcoming his funcy. With profound
knowledge Of human nature, he sent
Morelli m sdict from the King, forbid
ding him under the penalty Of q thou
sand crowns, ever to cross tho frontier
of the kingdom. Morolli laughed hear
lilly at mn order that chimed barmoni.
ously with his own inclination. The
Joke was not less rslished by his friends,
and mnny were the illusions to tho SUI
~prrauous severity Of the duke. Some
how, these jssts at length lost their
r~aciness, Morsli ceased to smile, and
found himself pcrpslually recurring to
conjecture What could possibly DO
the object Of the Government in placing
this singular restraint upon the move
msnts Of n peaceful and loyal citizen ?
A thousand ideas haunted his mind. 10
began to lose sleep and health, and in
place Of these came q morbid desire to
do the very thing that had been SO
strangely prohibited. He gave way to
1t. Sending a thousand crowns to the
duke. Iorelli throw himself into bis
garbage, and traversed iuto the Papal
States. He remained one night, and
then retlsied to Naples. Informed Of
his return, the duke sent Eve hundred
pounds to the public hospital and re-
mitted the other half Of the penalty to
Morelli, with the words, Nitinar ~ pe.
Gtum," Opposition augments desirc);
adding, that the five hundred pounds
had suficed to teach the public how
