Select Poetry.
For the Telegraph.
sOROsIs,

am not allowcd-but then I'm rot proud
To advance too near TO the meetings
Where the dear wits crowd, but without cloud
To darken their kindly greetings;
Wits that meet ut Dclmoncos,
And for what-there's no one that knows
But we think it's fine that some fate condign
Should by some metempsychosis,
So swcely combine wit, women and wine,
And form us this new thing-ISorosisi
1 think it is queer, and who but dear
Young woman would dream of the thing,
To make it appear to every one clear
That lore from the ancients they bring:
So they say, "Mcn adore us,
With our Greek name from Sopos!"
Then they stand and gaze, with their witching
ways,
And with scornful little noses,
They wait for our praise, as we in maze
Translate for them their S0rosis.
Down the morass deep for Greek roots we
creep,
Searching earnestly its meaning;
What "pile," or what "heap"-can' t be food,
talk and sleep
Can this be the thought il is screening?
But they re women wise and wary
And their chairman Alice Carey:
1t is but their freak-while they hide they
speak
The lore that their secret closes
Not in Grabbed Greek, but in English seek,
And see the sweet order Soto roses"
So we see their ruse, not the shrews abuse,
But the kindly act Out-cropping:
"Scattcr smilcs" they sing, and their roses
bring
Fragrant beauty thorns o'ertopping.
Let them meet at Dclmonico's,
With their lunch and their bonny clothes
For with them appears, chasing signs and tears
Woman's new apotheosis,
That shall make all bright with hallowet
light
As for woman, they sotD roses.

Through the Grave.

l am drifting, slowly drifting,
With the changing waves of time;
Every scene around me shifting,
And each moment more sublime,
AS | near the great eternal,
Passing on to the supernal
Through the grave.
On each shore are hidden treasures,
Meath the waves rare jewels play:
Time bears on in rapid measures-
to seek them must not stay;
For my home is the eternal,
And pass 10 the supcrnal
Through the grave.
Sometimes on the foamy billow,
Sometimes in the sinking sand,
Weary head can find no pillow,
Weary feet can tind no land;
BUT I'm nearer the eternal,
Passing on 10 the supernal
Through the grave.
Dark the cloud that floats above me,
Fierce the winds that round me play;
Changing waves that ever move me
Drfting-here may not stay,
For | see the great eternal,
And press To the supernal
Through the grave.
Darker still the skies that cover.
Icy chills the waters now;
Angel wings above me hover,
Angels smooth the death-pale brow.
Loi enter the eternal,
And l pass to joys supernal
Through the grave.

. One Step More.

What though before me ii is dark,
Too dark for me TO see?
ask but light for one step more;
IT'S quite enough for me.
Each little humble step take,
The gloom clears from the next;
So, though It's very dark beyond,
never am perplexcd.
And if sometimes the mist hangs close,
So close fear to stray,
Patient | wait little while,
And soon il clears awey.
would not see my further path,
For mercy walls it so;
My present steps might harder be
Did the future know.
1t may be that my path is rough,
Thorny, and hard, and steep;
And, knowing this, my strength might fail
Through fear and terror deep.
1t may be that it winds along
A smooth and flowcry way;
But seeing this, might dtspise
The journey Of to-day.
PERHAPS my path is short,
My journey nearly done;
And might trcmblc at the thought
OF ending it so soon.
Or, if saw weary length
OF road that | must wcnd,
Painting, I'd think, MY feeble powers
Will fail me ere the end"
And so l do not wish TO see
My journey or its length;
Assured that, through my fathers love,
Each step will bring lis strength.
Thus step by step l onward go,
Not looking far before;
Trusting that | shall always have
Light for just zone step more"

We. the undersigned, committee ap
pointed by the Wayne County Agricui
tural Association, to look at and report
upon D N Cochran's improvement in
hay elevators, beg leave to report as fol
lows: We have examined the same and
are of decided opinion that it is great
improvement in the way of unloading
hay, saving draft, labor and cost, and
feel perfectly safe in recommending it
to all persons wanting hay fork as de-
cidedly better than the o!d- fashioned
way Of guy ropes, DC. BY this mode
any person having fork, no matter OF
what kind, can have it attached and it
will work all right.

Scarcity Of Small Notes.

So great is the scarcity of small note q,
of denominations including from ones to
tens, together with fractional currency,
that the retail trade has heen subjected
to serious embarrassment.
The scarcity OF small notes at the
West and South, at period when they
are most wanted to make settlements
with the small traders and agricultural
classes, is particularly inopportune, and
fears OF an interruption to crop move
ments have been entertained; though it
is fair to presume that temporary expe-
dients of credit will be adopted to obiatc
any serious difficulty in this respect. It
is rather difficult to satisfactorily ac-
count for this wide spread scarcity of
small notes. There can be no doubt
that the currency is steadily extending
its scope in the newly settled States aud
Territories and at the South, but with
SO large volume outstanding, this fact
in itself is not sufficient cause for SO sud
den deficiency. 1t is probable that it
has resulted, in part, from the recent
withdrawal from circulation of the ten
dollar legal tenders, on account OF dan,
gerous counterfeits. To this NAV be
added the fact that the confidence uni
versally accorded both to Government
and National Bank issues has q tenden-
cy to keep them in the pockets of the
holders, where they repOse without cre-
ating uneasiness as to their value. The
