"Tis sweet TO hear
At midnight on the blue and moonlt
deep,
The song and oar of Adra's Gondolier,
BY distance mcilowd ocr tho waters
sweep:
'Tis sweet to see tho evening star appear ;
lis sweet to listen as the night winds
creep
From leaf to leaf; It's sweet to view on
high
The rainbow, based on ocean, span the sky.
'Tis sweet to hear the watch-dog's honest
bark
Bay dccp-mouth'd Welcome as wo draw
near home;
'Tis sweet 10 know there is an eye will mark
Our coming, and look brighter when VIC
come;
'Tis sweet to be awakened by the lark,
Or lnl''d by falling waters sweet the hum
or bee, thcavoico Of girls, the song of birds,
The lisp Of children, and their earliest
words.
Sweet is the vintage, when The showcring
In Bacchanal profusion reel to earth
iurple and gushing; sweet are our escapes
From civic revclry to rural mirlh;
Sweet TO the miser arc his glittering heaps
Sweet TO the father is his first -borns
birth:
Sweet is revenge specially to women,
iIllage to soldiers, prize money TO seamen.
Sweet is legacy. ard passing sweet
Tho unexpected death Of some old lady.
nan f,f
"ho'vc made ''us youth" wait too-too
long already,
For an estate, or cash, or country seat,
Still breaking, but with stamina to steady,
That ail the lsrealtcs nre ii, to mob its
Next owner for their double. damn'd post
obits.
'Tis sweet TO win no matter how, ones lau
rcls,
BY blood or ink lis sweet to put an end
10 strife; Ills sometimes sweet to have our
Quarrcls,
Particularly with tiresomc frend
Sweet is old wine in bottles, ale in barrels
Dear Is the helpless creature we defend
Against the world and dear the school boy
spot
We no'er forget though there we arc forgot.
But sweeter still than this, than these, than
all,
ls fist and passionate love-it stands
alone,
Like Adams recollection of his fall;
The tree of knowledge has been plucked
-alls known
And life yields nothing further 10 recall
Worthy Of this ambrosial sin, SO ehown,
No doubt in fable. as the unforgivcn
Fire which Prometheus flcled for us from
heaven

The .rls of Money,

Amow Jait Deaucoup, mais argent fat
tout.
The delight Of ;ove in cottage, hard
brown hands, suhburnt cheeks, and all
that do very well to read about in nov
els and other publications, TO while
away M idle hour; but nothing is
farther from lhe truth than the idea sct
forth in all snch writings, that Young
Ladies ever prefer these, with satisfied
heart, 10 the gildod Estates, though
contemplated they may be with sad
rep!nings Of the man OF money. Indeed
II may be set down rs trusn, that
money will marry any man; no matter
how nnconth, how deficient in all the
glorious attributes OF humanity eocver /;
youth, beauty, manlincss intellect, cdu-
Gallon, moral excellence aud the most
idolaIrouS devotion, are all weighed in
the balance against Money and Social
Position, and are found wanting. The
sex choose rather to he "an OLD mans
darling with plenty of sugar plums than
to be sweet inspiration OF poor youn q
mans dreams, with his fresh manly
beauty and his ardent soul coupled with
his brown bread. Alas, it is sad trn,l,
that marriage with our young ladies' is
bit speculation, ana unfortunately,
like the lottery ticket OF "Capias," frr-
qncrtly turns mp blank in is draw
ings. Many far sweet gill immolatts

Hits about in society afterwards like m
nnlald ghost of wretclIcdncsa, vainly
trying to comfort her outraged woman y
heart with the irrcprcssive gcwgaws of
an ldlotIc or gouty old Dotard's Estate.
And yet the girls, poor things, are hot
to be so mach blamed, for they were
not only created by Nature to preside
over Households 'and manage Family
affairs, but the very frat lesson taught
them, even ore tho first buildings of
their opening fancies, give character to
their sex,--is that they must have q.
Sett'ement in life." Indeed, they nre

sensbilty, primarily true and good, it
is not surprising that many poor girl
finds amid the ruins of Palatial desc
Grafton an early grave for her broken
heart. Only in that still and peaceful
abode, beneath the low clods OF the
Valley, are hushed the long subducd
plaininga Of her true sonled suffering--.
Woman's Nnture---,he low thrills OF
her nnreqnited woman's love. And
yet they go---one after another.-to the

IRoTEcTioN-FREE TRADE.-Poli.
tloal economy is science whose truths
q, are not basod upon geographical lines.
For instance, it would hardly be as
serted even by Horace Greedy that
while q protective tariff is wjee
measure for this country as 1t now
stands, yet free trade would be better
for it if its northern boundary line ran
where NJ lson Il Dixon's does. We
confess, however, that We cannot un.
derstand the teachings of the advo-
Gates of protection if they do not sub.
stantially hold this opinion. We sup
pose that Grcolv would be q protec-
tionist if New York were q separate
nation; and, so supposing, We do not
understand why he does not advocate
tho passage of laws laying heavy
tax upon evory manufactured article
carried into that State, high tariff
would DO beneficial to Canada; and
so the remarkable consequence follows
that both countries would gain by re.
strioting trade between the two. But
how if Canaa" -::-vuid be annexed to
tb" >".Uod States 7 Surely it would
90 best to keep up the two high tariffs
as otherwise both Canada and the
Unitcd States would be injured bv
annexation! Or, on the other hand,
If it would promote the prosperity Of
both to have free trade after annexa-
tion, why would not that be the best
policy7 The reader can follow up
this line Of thought fer himself. We
are not quite certain that there Is not
some fallacy in the argument, thoue h
We do not see whore it is.
Again Greedy would denounoe o
law which should provide that Soma.
tor IrumDuii should purchase dis uai-
icoes from Senator Sprague, or, feiling
to do so, should pay into the Treasury
of tho United States twenty, or fifty,
or hundred per cent. of the money
value of any oalicoes that he might
buy from any ono else. Yet this is
exactly what every tariff law provides.
The only difference is that nobody's
name is mentioned. Yet Dir. Greeley,
with the utmost earnestness, and evil
IDENTIFY with the idea that he is o great
authority on politieooeeonomioal ques.
tions, advocates in his paper these ab.
surd ideas. We write without one
iota Of prejldice. We would es lief
be o proteotionist as o free-trader.--.
We have questions before US 40 muoh
more important to our welfare that We
can discuss this one without being at
all influenced by unworthy considera-
tions. Will Mr.. Greeley enlightep
us.--Richmond Dispatch.

The New York Herald constructs
the recent letter Of Chief Justice
Chase, on the occasion Of the memo-
rial celebration over the graves Of tho
Federal dead at Magnolia, as q mild
but unmistakable bid for the next
Presidency. The Herald evidently
considers the Chief Justice as just the
man to load to victory the new and
powerful party, the formation Of which
within the nexS year or two is regarded
as O fixed fact.

A STRIKING CoNrnAsr.- In his
first inaugural Washington said: "The
magnitude aid difficulty of the trust
Which tho voice of my countrymen
have called mo hring sufficient
cares to awaken, in tho wiscst
and most experienced citizen, a
distrust in his powers to carry on tho
great and responsible duties, and to
doubt his qualifications for so grand
and high trust" In his first inau-
gural, Grant said "The responsible
ties of my position arc great, but l
assume them without fear" There
is the first contrast--the diffidence
and dignity Of the one, and the AFRO
gate self-sufficiency Of the other
Washington did not enter the ExeouI
tive Mansion as into grand gift e,-
tablishment; but how is il with the

preached by one man, whom he after
ward appointed Secretary Of the
Treasury, with $65,000 check; by
his future Secretary of the Navy, with

SENATOR SpRAaUE's EsTImATR OF
THE CoTToN CRop.--Sepstor Sprague,
who has recently visited the most Of
the Cotton States, speaks in very in
terestipg strain upon the condition OF
the country. The next cotton crop,
will not, he thinks, exceed two mil.
lions and o quarter Of bales. Owing
to the uncertainty Of oolored labor, It
has become Improbable to carry on
largo plantations, and most Of the
oropis now furnished by farms that
yield from one to five, and so on up to
ffty,balcs.

One Of the amendments to the city char
ter provides that the Common Council shall
choose from their own number presiding
officer, who shall exercise the powers Incl
deaf to such Office. A rule OF bylaw Of
the Common Council provides that the
standing committees OF tEat body slall be
appointed hy the Mayor, at the beginning
Of each municipal year. An Impression
seems to e11st that tho new presiding om-
Ger Of the Council, &hen he shall be
chosen, will hare the power to appoint the
committees But it is evident that under
the existing bylaw the Mayor will still havo
The appointment OF the committees. We
cali attention TO this fact, not for the puy-
pose Of suggesting a change in tho rulc Of
the Council, hut to correct an erroneous i'm
preston which seems to prevail even among
tie Aldermen themselves.
