/ am opposed TO war and all that per-
tains to it. 1t is unnecessary and inhu-
man. 1t seems inconsistent FOR
people to claim to be the follow
ers of Him who gave the eleventh
commandment and instituted tie golden
rule to advocate war, and for Congress to
hire chaplain to go into the House and
pray every morning that Gods win be
done on earth as it is in Heaven, and ask
Him to forgive us as we forgive our enc
mics, and then deliberately go to work
and make naval and military aPpropria-
tions, that we may carry on war sue
cessfully and Kill off our enemies.
The numerous cemeteries in the South
and those around this city, which contain
the remains of over 10000 soldiers, suggest
that these prayers have been answered
that as we forgave the men of the South
so they in the same way forgave us, with
bullets. I admire courageous man, and
have a profound respect for those who
risked their lives for our country's sake,
but Notwithstanding all this, 1 say war is
unnecessary.
Even slavery might have been abol-
ished, and full payment made to the own
ers assuming that one man can own an
other, at cost in money of not one-halt
of the present debt of the nation. But
the war is over. We should be thankful
that it was no worse. But all US go to
work and encourage the use of the plow
and pruning hook, and no longer hold out
inducements, under any pretence, for man
to take the life of his fellow man. II.

Through the dun clouds brooiing over the town.
As pure the white plumes Of Raphael
Stainless and perfect they silently fen.

In the evening red, CLEANED like sacred ire;
And one, fallen lower was doomed 10 lie
In the path oft-.rampled by passers-by.

Did the lowly estate Of Its twin deride.
Deeming that through her own worth, it befeli,
That she had not fallen in mire. as well
AS proud, as if she had toiled to attain
Tuat height so secure from all harm and stain.
The other sought by prAyerful strife,
To rise from her fall to purer life.
This hope, this faith, was her true hearts prze
"Though fallen low, shall rise, Il shall rise %
While she patient waited her song had a cheer,
The snowflake on high could not choose but hear
"Though out-cast, down .trodden, my days are
spent,
"BIy purity sullied, my beauty laid low,
shall yet be white the drifted snow.
Sometime, somewhere, it will all be made plain,
Why yours was the glory and mine the stain

And still hen Resurgam she bravely sung,
Till dawn its bright banners of light up-fung,
And the sun shone forth from his golden bower,
Upon ehureh-yard path and ivied tower
The snow crystal melting beneath his beam,
Vanished away like a beautiful dream
Her frozen heart melted her pride had Its ia l.
She dropped from the cross to the old church wall,
With patter, and drip, like summer shower
On the ivy that slung around the tower,
Down the leafy stair, in her swift descent
To lie in the gutter, all smirched and spent,
Then the ivies whispered across the air,
"How art thou fallen : once pure, and 50 fair!
"OVer open graves we have heard the piiest
Say, 'The least shall be create st, the greatest,

So the ives huttered above her fall
But song gave her keenest pain Of alt,

A VICTIM OF ENGLISH CRUELTY
THIRTY-Two YEARS IN EXILE.-The i'll
starred Canadian rebellion of 1888 was
the cause of sending many brave man IN
exile TO foreign lands. A number OF
Americans were implicated in the affair,
and England, ever slow to pardon and
ever ready to punish those who seek to
overthrow it's power, condemned them to
long and weary exile. Among the resi-
dents of the State of New York who were
connected with the rebellion was Samuel
Washburne of Fort Edward. He was in
Canada on business for his father, and at
the beginning of this struggle for liberty
his revolutionary blood boiled over, and
he Joined the patriots. The fate of the
struggle is matter of history. Wash
burne was captured, condemned to trans
portation beyond the seas" and sent to
Van Dieman's Land. For thirty-two
wears he has been in exile, suffering I'M
told horrors, and living lingering death.
But at last release came to him-whether
by expiration of sentence or pardon we
know not but on Thursday morning
Washburne reached Troy on his way to
his former home, which he has not seen
since early manhood. He was of course
destitute and needy, and calling upon SUI
perintendent Brownell for aid was afford
ed the means to reach Fort Edward. At
the age of sixty eight years he returns
with the hope of finding some Of his kin
dred still this side of the grave.

MECHANICsvILE.-Sunday, March l3,
we had fall of new snow of about 10
inches in depth. Wednesday, March 16,
commenced storm of snow about eleven
o'clock, with a heavy east wind. Our
mail, carried by Marvin Frost, to Mount
Holly station, started out at 70 o'clock,
and arrived at the depot on time, but be-
fore the UP mail came along the storm
increased to such severity that he was
obliged to put up his team, leaving it and
compile Of passengers till Friday, before
they could pass over the read. Quito a
number of our towns folks were out of
town on the same day on business, but all
of them We're detained away from home
that night by the storm. The general
opinion il that the snow fell from twelve
to fifteen iuolrs deep, but it blew about
so much that it is hard to determine the
exact depth. All business on the roads
will be started ina day or two, the same
as usual, judging by the present looks of
things.

Cambridge Cattle Market.
Boston Wool Market

The market continues active for the better
grades of domestic wool, and prices are evidently
hardening, preparatory to further advance.
Manufacturers continue to operate freely, and as
stocks in the hands of dealers to become reduced
there is growing competition and buyers for de-
sirable lots of both fleece and pulled, which are
readily taken at sellers rates. 1t to be the
aim of the former to secure with as little delay a.
possible SUPPLIES sufficient to bridge over the new
clip.
The steadily increasing demand for spring goods
is an element of strength TO the wool market, as
sisted it is by the present ease and abundance
of money. As fast as manufacturers dispose of
their products they naturally reinvest the pro-
cceds in raw material. But while doing this, Just
now, they complain that the goods market has
not yet responded to the advance in WOOL and that
consequently, their former slender margin of prof
it has been wholly lost. But with the exercise OF
due caution in not overstocking the market with
goods, and by carefully consulting the popular
taste to styles and specialties most wanted for
general consumption, there can be no doubt that
fair prices be obtained for spring woolens even
upon the basis Of an enhanced cost for nateri-
al
The current demand for wool continues to run
upon the finer grades, and choice Pennsylvania
and Ohio feeces are now generally held for an ad-
vance Combing and delaine woods are also want
cd at better prices, and these descriptions ars
very scarce. Medium and low woods are quiet
but firmly held on account of the light stocks
Pulled woods continue In good demand, and the
supply has ceased to accumulate. California woods
are in speculative request and the late advance
is fully sustained. Foreign descriptions are very
quiet, and the finer grades mostly held above the
views of buyers.
