sections was SO great, that the Company at once
made ar, angements to procure larger supply, upon
more favorable terms, for the future and they have
Just Ieceived the fist invoice tor this year, which

which (but ttle half what it cost year agob

Poetry.
.srknittins the searf.n

A sy little maiden sits by me tonight,
Softly humming an old tune low; ofs ~.
The bright threads fash through her fingers white,
As she guideth the needle to and fro.
Sweet is the song thai the maid n singeth,
Sad to my heart are the thoughts it. -5fingeth;
Dreams that were buried SO long ago,
Under the snow-upder the snow.
Little the maiden knoweth of this
Weaving the bright threads in the while;
Her thoughts are weaving dream OF bliss,
And her red lips part in sweet half smile,
As her happiness In WITH each stitch she twineth,
And The light in the luminous eyes that shineih
Under the lid grows tender and gim,
Thinking OF him-thinking OF him.
Thus the needle beareth double thread
As dainti1y in and out IL flies,
And the conscious flood in her eyes grows red,
'Neaih the smile my steady eyes.
Shake down the cloud of thy brown hairs glory,
Lat thy brushes should tell the story
That was old when the Eden skies were blue,
Yet ever is new-ever is new.
30 blushing and shyly the maiden sings,
Knitting the scarf for her absent lover;
ana methinks two angels with golden wings
Soitiy round fhe maiden hover.
heaven grant that the hopes thou art weaving
Leave no room in thy heart for grieying; .r
ANGELS keep thee,' softly pray,
Turning away-tuTniDg away. iFt .

The Importers League.

The importers of New York are, in interest,
hostile to Home Manufactures. Whatever
tends to build up and encourage domestic in
dustry is necessarily destructive of the trade
in which they are engaged, and hence the in
stinct of self-prcservation leads them to ems
ploy lecturers and. disseminate documents
teaching system Of SO called political econ
omy which, however comfortable to jobbers
and importers Of foreign fabrics, is para!ys,
ing to the enterprises which contribute most
to the population, wealth and social content of
this country 1t is well to remember that
selfshness blinds the eyes of men to The in
terest Of every class except the one they are
Immediately connected with. As We have
often insisted, in these columns, the develop
ment of home industries secures q numerous,
intelligent and thrifty population, provides q
sure and remunerative market for the pro-
ducts of our farms; keeps our surplus wealth
at home to make capital wherewith to develop
the resources of the country, instead of sends
ing it abroad to fill the Golfers of the aristo>
cratic capitalists of Europe and furnishes en-.
ployuent and prosperity TO host of intelli-
gent and VIC alh-producing citizens who with
out them would grovel in poverty and con-
tribute nothing to the general wealth.
The speaker, (Gen. Brinkerhof) in comm n
with other Free Traders, is distressed because
iron masters, and salt producers. are grow
ing rich too fast? Are they progressing any
faster than the STEWARDS, the CLAFLINs, and
the other importing sinabobs" of New York?
Does the wealth gainel by importers furnish
livelihood to as many people as that made
by manufacturers? Three importing firms in
New York sell one hundred and fifty millions
Of dollars worth of goods per year, and they
employ only three thousand persons. The
manufactures of Philadelphia amount to the
same and employ onehundred and fifty thous-
and people. The gu ,stion is not WHICH class
is getting rich too fast, but which interest is
most important and profitable for the whole
country, That is evidently the most essen
tial that builds up the msst numerous popu-
lation and brings thrift and social content to
the largest number of people. Manufactures
pay the common people the best. And if
manufacturing pays SO largely why does not
New York capital withdraw from foreign
products and invest in home Manufacture
That is the very point we desire to reach.
But no, these lazy ard unenterprising money
monopolsts prefer to evade the labor and
risks Of manufacturing enterprise, for bus
mess which drains the United States Of its
capital. brings frequent and damaging
canhges upon our finances, and briugs US
largely in debt to the people of other countries.
