The WESTERN PORK TRADE. OF this trade
the Cincinnati Price Current of last week re-
marks:
THE pork trade has been quite active dur
ing the week, as regarded live hogs, but there
has been but little done in the product, doubt
less owing to the rates asked by holders. Al
though remarkable it is true, that hogs: when
alive, bring much better prices than when
slaughtered and not only this. but salted
meats arc neglected, though offered relatively
lower than dressed hogs, and stu lower than
the prices paid for them alive and when the
meat is smoked it is almost unslleable, though
the prices asked are far lower than the prime
cost The receipts of hogs at this place have
been fair for the advanced stage Of the season:
and the indications are that large number of
hogs are still to come to market from the
Northwestern States. There is q very general
belief among capitalists, merchants, farmers, and
others that pork is very cheap, and that there
is money in it. at the current prices and this
accounts for the unusually large number of out
side parties who have purchased on specula-
ton the present season, and also that consld-
cradle amount is being cured by country mer-
chants and operators at home, and outside the
regular packing places.

is pure cowardice-will not be msconstrued
Somebody perishes in gloriously every day
for being on speaking terms with married
women, and we do not care to have oul
turn come round. Deeply grateful for the
past torbearance of aggrieved husbands, VIC
make our bow and retire. Hereafter oul
mods and smiles will be lavished upon girls
and widows exclusively; no others need ap-

us to his own wife, OF that of another man
will. be regarded as q conspirator against oul
precious life, and subjected to abuse in the
columns of this journal. Nature is strong ir
us, and we do not wish to die. Whenever
we shall feel desire that way, we shall trea
somebody's wife with common courtesy, gel

were in many instances started by the early SET

longevity of this hardy fruit. But III too many

VOLUME Al.
THE KINGS DAUGHTER.
BY REBECCA S. rALtREY.

She wears no jewel upon hand or brow
No badge by which she may be known OF men,
But though she walk in plain attire now,
She is the daughter of king; ana Wheh
Her father calls her at his throne to wait,
She will be clothed as doth betit her state.
Her father sent her in his land to dwell,
Giving to her a work that must be done;
And since the king loves all his people well,
Therefore she, too, cares for them, every one;
Thus when she stoops to lift from want and sin,
The brighter shines her royalty therein.
She walks erect through dangers manifold,
While many sink and fall on either hand;
She breads not Summers heat nor Winters cold.
For both are subject to the kings command;
She need not be afraid of anything,
Because she is a daughter of the king.
Even when the angel comes that men call Death,
And name with terror, it appals not her;
She turns to look on him with quickened breath
Thinking it is the royal messenger,
Her heart rejoices that her father calls
Her back to live within the palace walls.
For though the land she lwells in is most fair,
Set round with streams, n picture in 4 frame,
Yet often in her heart deep longings are
For that imperial palace whence she came.
Not perfect quite seems any earthly thing.
Because she is daughter Of the king.

AN AWFUL Frog STORY. A man named
SoutLworth living in Warren, Pennsylvania
has lust elected from his stomach frog
which had been living there for fifteen years !,
Mr. Southworth has had Il great deal of
trouble with that frog. 1t used to begin to
croak at the most unreasonable hours. When
Southworth would go to church, for Instance,
the frog would remain quiet until the congrc-
ga,ion engaged in quiet prayer, and then it
would set up such a terrific howl that the sex
TON would rush in and collar Southworth and
drag him out TO quiet down in the graveyard
sometimes the frog would give nocturnal
serenade after Southworth was fast asleep
in bed, and then Southworth would rise as
mad ns any thing, and seize stomach pump
and trytO draw the trogup Butthe subtle rcn-
tile had had that trick played onittoo often dur-
ing those fifteen years, and he always Skinned
up the tube piece, ont OF the draueht. and
waited until Southworth exhausted himself.
Southworth never fooled that frog a great
deal. And when frogs were in season,
Southworth used to fish for that one with a
fy; but it always refused to rise, and the fly
buzzed around SO in Southworth's alimentary
canal that it nearly tickled Southworth tC
death. So Southworth had to wait until the
other day, when the frog thought it would
come up and 60 and see friend; and when
it did come, Southworth killed it with fork
He says the frog used to eat twice as much
as he did but we have been thinking it over,
and it seems to us the statement must be ex-
aggerated somehow.
