NO GOD.


"No God! No Godr' The simplest flower
That on the wild is found,
Shrinks as it drinks its cup of dew,
And trembles at the sound;
"NoGod'-astonished Echo cries
From out her cavernhoer .-.....
And every wandering bird that flies
Reproves the Atheists lore.
The solemn forest lifts its head,
The Almighty to proclaim,
The brooklet, on its crystal urn,
Doth leap to grave his name. ..: -
How swells the deep and yengefnl sea,
Along his billowy track,
The red Vesuvius opes his mouth -
To hurl the falsehood beck.
Tie palm tree, with its princely crest,
The cocoa's leafy shade,
The bread-fruit bending to its load,
In yon fair island glade;
The winged seeds, that borne by winds,
The rowing sparrows feed,
The melon on the desert sands,
Confate the scorner's creed. 30
"No Godp' with indignation light
The fervent suR Is stirred,
And the pale moon turns paler still
At such an impious word;
And from their burning thrones, the stars
Look down with an angry eye,
That thus q worm Of dust should mock
Eternal Majesty.

A GHOST STORY.
BYP. O. MUDKLURK.

A late French paper publishes the following.
and vouches for its truthfulness:
"a young German lady recently arrived with a
party of friends at one of the most renowned ho-
tells in Paris, and occupied an apartI ent on the
first floor, furnished with unusual msgnifceuce.
She lay awake long after theinmstes were wrapped
in slumber, contemplating by the faint glimmer Of
her nightlamp the costly ornaments of the room,
until suddenly the folding doors opposite her bed,

Though linked with its mem'ries, are glimpses Of
The sadness, and sorrow, we've known by the

And leave itssTeet memories, without their al

The Past Il has been, but the Present is thine;
Then sip of its nectar ere fleeting 1t fly.
Though merciless Winter may wither your vine,
Another Il planted will bud in the Spring;
It's tendrils will freshen and lovingly Irvine,
And graceful festoons bright blossoms will bring.
Then back with the Past, and its symbols of sad
ness,
They shadow with gloom the fresh hues of the
heart;
When the morning Of youth is all radient with glad
That raven will wave its black wings and de.
part.
But still from the Past and its happier memories,
Dear tokens Of love can be culled by the way
They will brighten the heart as the polish Of enc

To shine mid the gems Of eternity's day.
My child, put thy trust in the promise of Spring,
Drink freely LIES pleasures while Jet they ar

And gather their blossoms before they take wing !;
But blend them with care In each garland you

Father Rivas. The tree which produces
it is of a very large size; it begins to

of the same paper states that he has lately

to see the crops in all those counties. He
found them generally excellent. There

FINANCE.
The money market has been fairly aes
tive during the week. and closes bare of
cotton bills, and with exchange balances
steadily on the decrease. Cotton bills are
taken readily at par, and 4 premium is a
firm selling rate for checks on all points,
with a prospective early advance to g
from. and perhaps shipments of currency,
as the stock of cotton on hand i down to
less than COO bales uusold, although the
statement calls for lbs bales. The supply
Of currency IS abundant for ali Legitimate
purposes. and there is little demand from
first class borrowers, while on the other
hand there is little flowing in from the
country. Deposits are generally good, al
though the retail trade Of the city Is sea-
sonabIy dull, planters giving close atten-
ton to the crops, from which we have
more encouraging reports from our imme-
date section.

During the past week the market has
been firm and active, while buyers were
free to take hold. and purchased Literally.
The total sales Of the week nave been
fully 25Oe bales, and but for the reduced
stock would have largely eNeelled that
numbers The week opened at 32c for
Middling, advanced on Friday to 32]2 and
33c. On Saturday the market weakened
somewhat, and to-day at the close 32c is a
full figure for Middling. Among sales
were 20 bales Low Middling at 30c, So
barely do. al 9O1kc, IS bright dc. at 9Ie, %
do. at slkc, and Is Middling at sc. Sales
Tor the day were l75 bales. The reduced
stock here leaves the market nearly bare
of respectable lists and indicates the sea
son drawing rapidly 10 a close. Receipts
after his date last year were 400 bales,
but the liberal arrivals Yesterday indi-
Gates that two OF three thousand ma yet
come in before the growing crop natures.
The stock at all American ports is reduced
10 8 COCO bales, and the increased demand
Of Northern splnners indicates that the
supply viii not satisfy the demand unless
orders are filed in Liverpool. Instead Of
sending 10000 bales to Europe after the
first Of June, as was done last season, the
indications are that we will be unable TO
supply our home demand, and holders
therefore are firm in their tone, while a
strong speculative feeling pervades the
market.
The falling on Of receipts shows that
the CROP is nearly exhausted, while the
total visible supply, including stocks in
America, Liverpool, London, Havre and
Bremen with all that is aaOat for those
points only give a total of 1875, 900 bales,
being I26, 200 less than was in sight at the
same time last year, and showing a def
cheney Of prospective supply Of at least
100000 bales, with no point from which to
expect receipts TO make up the deficiency.
The India shipments Indicate a decrease
OF at least 10000 from last season, while
American shipments have been less than
100000 bales, and nearly 250,O 600 below
last years exports. The total receipts al
ali points for the last season have been
100000 bales.
