The Mothers First Grief.

She sits beside the cradle
And her tears are streaming fast;
For she sees the present only, a.H.e.. .r
While she thinks of all the past
Of the day so full of gladness,
When her first born's answering kiss
Thrilled her soul with such rapture, a
That it knew no other bliss.
o these happy, happy moments, ...-
They but deepen her despair!
For she bends above the cradle,
And her baby is not there.
There are words of comfort spoken;
And the leaden clouds of grief
Wear the smiling bow of promise,
And she feels a sad relief
But her wavering thoughts will wander
Till they settle on the scene
OF the dark and silent chamber,
And of all that might have been;
For little vacant garment,
Or shining tress of hair,
Tells her heart, in tones of anguish,
That her baby is not there.
She sits beside the cradle,
But her tears no longer flow;
For she sees blessed vision,
Andforgets all earthly woe,
Sanity eyes look down upon her,
And the Voice that hushed the sea
Stills her spirit with the whisper,
'Suffer them to come to Me-
And while her soul is lifted
On the soaring wings of prayer,
Heavens crystal gates swing inward
And she sees her baby there

The Mistake of Thousands.

In their. recent circular on
the prospects of the country,
Dun, Borlow & Co., observe
''In almost every section, the
number Of persons engaged in
selling goods is in excessive
proportion to the number buy
ing them, and the profits in eY-
cry department of commerce
are shaved down to the lowest
possible point. There has been
an increase in the failures dur
ing the last year of twenty-five
per cent. as compared with
1869, and thirty-three per cent.
as compared with 1868" These
statements are very suggestive
and deserving Of more than a
passing notice. Nothing is
surer than that the aggregate
of human happiness would be
vastly augmented were the va
rious professions, trades, aud
business avocations, to be de-
serted by half their incumbents
for agricultural pursuits. The
excess of labor far more tlan
equals the, demand in every
city of the Union. Here, the
glut is so great that every en-
ployer is run down with appli-
cations for situations. The con-
tractor for the new Post-Office
building enjoyed no peace until
he had hung out the following
"notice" at his office: "No
more watchmen wanted" Nc
more clerks wanted" .No
more inspectors wanted" Nc
more overseers or forenlen
wanted" ''No more ma stel
mechanics wanted" To OBJ
tain an idea of the number O
persons seeking employment
in cities, one should see the
crowd which responds, in per
son or by letter, to a "lelI
wanted'' advertisement. 4
few days ago, a downtown
house advertised for a porter
and there were two hundred
and forty-eight applications be
fore eight O'Clock in the morn
ing. We counted seventy-tlIret
