SHUT THE noon sOFTLI..

Shut the door softly, mothers asleep,
Her fever is broken, her slumbcr is deep;
Look in her pale face and see there no pain,-
Darling be thankful, we've mother again.
Shut the door softly, and come to her side,
What should wo do II our mother had died7
She who has loved us our weary lives through
Shut the door softly, and do as do.
Shut the door softly, and kneel with me here,
To Him who has spared us our own mother dear I;
Who has given her back to our arms once again,
Borne her through danger and softened her pain.
Shut the door softly, and look in her face,
And gee how II gathered in health and in grace.
Is she not handsome, this mother of ours,
waking to life like the budding of flowere7
Let us lose all in this fast flying life,
Sister and brother, and husband and wife,
Mothers love only oil time has dened;
Shut the door softly, aud come to her side.
Shut the door softly, mothers awake,
Back from the shores Of the fathomless lake,
Weary with travel, but laden with charms,
Longing to clasp us within her dear arms.
Mother, dear mother we loved you before,
Now we shall love you thousand times more;
Welcome, dear heart, from the shadowy land,-
Shut the door softly, and kiss her dear hand.

g THE SUPERIORITY OF AMnRrcAN OVER BRITISH MANUFACTURE The London Times makes the following significant ad. missions in commenting on the wane of British manufactures: E os.A @
 At this moment Birmingham is losing its old market. A flew years ago it used to sup ply the United States largely with edged tools, farm implements, and various small. or wares. It-does so no lOngers nor Is the cause to be sought merely in the American tariff. It is found that the manufacturers of America actually supercede us, not only in their own, but in foreign markets and in our own colonies, and the Birmingham chamber has the sagacity to discover, and the courage to declare, that this is owing to the superiority of American goods. High as are the wages of the English artis. an, those of an American artisan are high. CT still, and yet the manufacturers of the United States can import iron and steel from this country at a heavy duty, work up the metal by highly paid labor, and beat us out of the market, after all, with the man. ufactured articles. How is that Co be ex. plained? The Americans succeed in sun. planting us by, novelty of construction and excellence of make. They do not attempt to undersell us in the mere matter of price. Our goods may still be the cheapest, but they are no longer the best, sad in the country where an axe, for instance, is an indispensable implement, the best article is the cheapest, whatever it may cost. Set. tiers and emigrants soon find this out, and they have found it out to the prejudice of Birmingham trade. ,s-oI4 .v

 When the cigars had all been smoked, and not before 'Kiah said, "Le's git" and shouldering the imitation deer they sought the bank of the stream and launched it. Then. with all the speed they could muster they made for the camp. It was complete y deserted. Approaching the bank of the Raquette, a long row of eager hunters were deserted crOuching in the bushes and gag ing intently up stream. 'Kiah and Clarke, nearly exploding with suppressed laughter. sat down behind two adjacent trees and waited the denoument. 4y-tS1l s-lsertf. In short time the deer appeared, and the row of Nimrods wiggled with excite ment. It was the very perfection of a sell It hoated gently down with the current in the center of the stream; the weight of tue head pressed down the front end of the plank so as to elevate the other end enough to permit of the tail gliding gracefully on the top of the water. Older hands would have been deceived. Bangl went 6 rife, and up above the bushes popped eight in. dignant and disappointed heads, only to pop down again when they saw that the game had evidently been missed. Bang! bangi bang! bangI Seven rifles poured a volley across the water. The deer swept along unconcernedly. Never was such loading and firing witnessed since the re- bellion. The deer had not apparently been hit, every man was on his mettle to secure the prize. Volley after volley star tied the echoes; the water danced and spluttered around the deer's head from the shower of bullets, and still it foated quiet. ly along. .~-. '~e J
 It was very strange. It was going out of reach. The firing ceased, and rush was made for an old dug out that was moored to the bank. Kit and Ed reached it first, bounded in, and padded like mad after the retreating buck. Nearer and nearer they came. He was not frightened. Kit held his gun ready while Ed handled the oars. The others on shore ran along the bank to be on hand for any emergency. Clark and Kiah followed in an advanced stage of appopIexy. a< id
 Still nearer padded the two in the boat; they came up to the deer, they seized his horns, and-they dropped them. Then there rang through the primitive forest a double yell of laughter, such as must have astonished and shocked the old trees and frightened the little birds half out of their wits. Again and again it pealed forth, and when the angry hunters came up they found Clark and 'Kiah lying on their backs and kicking and tearing the grass up by the roots, in e manner which, to say the least, set every rule of propriety at de fance. .A
 Next day the party started for home; af ter exchanging the greater part of otheil traps at Martins for an assortment of deers heals: but to this day not one Of them car bear to hear tell of the deer hunt in the Adirondack region. s
