AFFAIIi~ IN SANIPSON-A letter from
friend at Clinton informs us that all is
now quiet i'll Sampson county. There have
been but four men arrested, and our cor
respondent does not think ii probable that
there will be any others. OF the troops
stationed there 30 have left, but there is
some talk Of the arrival of a cavalry squad
ron OF 20 men. If there are any other ar
rests, it will probably De Of such as will give
bonds for their appearance. The object of
the raid on the county is very likely for fine
purpose Of getting up material for the pur-
pose Of influencing Congress to extend the
power Of suspending the writ Of haJcus
c0rpus-a scheme fully worthy, in every
respect, Of the dominant party.

The Missouri Legislature will meet to-

message IS mainly devoted to State affairs.
lie recommends a radical revision of the
reVenue laws, and the paymet in gold of
the interest on the State bonds. With ref

tendency to Capitalization at the expense of
local State governments, and severely criti-
cises the national administration.

,E,ssc Harvest ofIaz..

The corn crop OF the West, the present
season, has proved the best harvested for
years. In many portion Of Indiana, Iowa,
Missouri, Nebraska and Minnesota, corn is
offered in the cribs at from ten to fifteen
cents a bushel. In Illinois ana Kentucky.
the yield has been beyond all precedent.
The wheat crop has also been very large.
IN Europe, on the contrary, there appears
to have been 4 heavy deficit i'll the grain
halycats in nearly al countries. In Eng
land the general falling off has been va
riously estimated at from fifteen to twenty
per cent, Willie III Hungary, the Danubian
PIincipalities, portions Of Austria, and i'll
Southern Rus5i;;-alI countries that have
usually exported Large quantities OF grain
there has been great decrease from the
average production. The rayages Of the
potato rot and the cattle disease in Great
Britain will increase the demand tOr grain
and animal food, and the United States
will be apple to supply both in any quanti-
ty 1T reasonable prices, us cheap bacon and
pork, articles extensively consumed every
where, are the natural consequence Of
cheap corn.

MY BAIl'k nDAY.
ny JOHN O. WHITTIER.


Beneath the moonlight and the snow
Lies dead my latest year;
The winter winds are wniling low
Its dlrgcs In my ear.
grlevc not with the moaning wind
AS it q lose beiell
Before me, even as behind,
God is, and all is well
His light shines on me from above,
Ills low vice speaks within
The patience OF Immortal love
Iutwcaryng mortal siu,
Not mindless ofthc growing years
OF care and loss aud pain,
My eyes nre wet with thankful tears
For blessings that remain.
II dim the gold of life has grown,
/ will not count 1t dross,
Nor turn from treasures still my own
To Sigh for lack and loss,
The years no charin from Nature take,
As sweet her voices call,
AS beautiful her mornings break,
AS ialf her eyes evenings fall.
Love watches DER my quiet ways,
hlud voices speak my name,
ANA iips that ilnd IL hard to praise
Are slow, ut lcaet, to blame.
nov % sollly Cbb the tides of will

How hUshei the Nss of rortv ba,o
The clnmOr of the ,hrdr,rj
How Old, harsh voices ~ I1h,,o
Flow into rhythmic so,r,
Methinks the spirits temper grows
Too soft In this still air,
Somewhat the restiu heart forgoos
or needed watch aud PRAYER.
The hnrQuc by tempest yaInly tossed
May founder in the CAIN,
And he who hravod the polar frost
Faint by the isles or balm.
Bgl,cr than sclr.indulgcit years
The optnuug heart Of youth,
Than pleasant songs in idle cara
The tamut of uo truth.
Rest for the weary hands 10 good,
Aud love for hcurts that pine,
Bat let the manly mhiiude
OF upright souls be mine
The winds that blow from heaven refresh,
Dear Lord, the languid air;
And let the weakness of the flesh
Thy strength Of spirit share.
And, If the eye must fail Of light,
The ear forget to hear.

Aud down these slores of sunset lead
~ up the hills o, morn.
