The business of the past week has been light a:
to amount to almost complete sagnaton in trade
Some of our merchants think this is in part atribu
table to the idle prevalent in portions of the
country in regard to yellow fever here and they may
be right But there are reasons beyond and more po
tent than that for we conceive that very few well
informed people attach any Importance to these per
fectly groundless reports. These are, first
that the cotton is opening rapidly as to require close
attention. and secondly because the planters prac
tcng the most stringent economy view of the pres
ent gloomy prospects of the cotton market We have
heard several country merchants remark that they
had never seen people stay so closely at home
The receipts as well sales of cotton during the
week have been remarkably light, and at very low
figures On Wednesday last the market was even
more than usually depressed and we recorded on that
day sale of small lot Of middling at ~ centsthe
result of a panic in New Orleans. On Thursday the

high as the market will justify, and frequently higher

sales fall short of figures. We endeavor to do JUS

WELCOME, ADORED NAME!
In the centre of their inmost souls they wore
Thee,
Where rack and torment strived in vain to
reach Thee.
Little, alas! thought they
Who tore the fair breasts of thy friends,
Their fury but made way
For Thee, and served them in their glorious
ends
What did their weapons, but with wider pores
Enlarge thy flaming breasted lovers,
More freely to transpire
That impatient fire
The heart that hides Thee hardly covers?
What did their weapons but set wide the doors
For Thee? fair purple doors of loves devising;
The ruby windows which enriched the east
OF thy SO oft-repeated rising
Each wound of theirs was thy new morning,
And re- -enthroned Thee in thy rosy nest,
With blush of thine own blood thy day adornlng:
1t was the wit of love oer6owed the bounds
OF wrath, and made the way through all these
wounds.
Welcome, dear, All-adorned Name!
For there is no knee
That knows not Thee;
Or if there be such sons of shame,
Alas what will they do,
When stubborn rocks shall bow,
And hills hang down their heav -saluting heads
To seek for humble beds
OF dust, where, in the bashful shades of night,
Next to their own low nothing they may lie;
And couch before the dazzling light of thy dread
Majesty.
They that by loves mild dictate now
VIII not adore Thee,
Shall then, with just confusion, bow
And break before Thee.

,Iesus Went 1!

Jesus wept over the woes of single city: and
do you think that he never wept over the woes
of 1COrld? He wept in public, where he
would certainly restrain his feelings as much as
possible; and do you think he never wept in
secret? Could we lit the sacred veil of his. .so-
tary hours; of his seasons of retirement, while
an obscure workman of Nazareth; of his forty
days fasting and prayer in the wilderness; of
his vigils on the mountain tops and in the
deserts-what prayers, what intercessions, what
tears, what tender and heavenly sympathies
with the sorrows and woes of humanity, would
come TO light His affections were not limited
to Judea; he did not love those merely who
loved him. He wept at the grave of Lazarus
and over the distress of Martha and Mary; and
why not over the great congregation of the
dead of more than hundred and thirty genera
tions past, and over all the broken hearts of
widows and starving orphans from the begin
ming of the world? Why not over the distress
of all the SICK the delirium of the deranged the
agonies of the dying? Do you now see why he
went about with restless assiduity TO console to
comfort, to bind up broken hearts, raising the
dead, curing and cleansing and restoring men
TO the enjoyment of health, sight, hearing, and
reason2 How could he do otherwise, with a
heart like his? He would have done so, though
no man had believed in him on that account, or
returned to him grateful word or look.
