POETRY.
"Going Alone"

With curls in the sunny air tossing,
With light in the merry blue eyes,
With laughter SO clearly outringing,
A laugh of delight and surprise;
All friendly assistance disduining,
And trusting no strength but its own,
The past fears and trials forgotten,
The baby is going alone"
What woefu mishaps have preceded
This day ofrejoicing and pride!
How often the help that he needed
Has carclessly gone from his side!
Hc has fallen while reaching for sunbeams,
Which just rs he grasped them have flown.
And the tears of vcxat;on have followed,
But now he is 'going alone"
And through all his life he will study
This lesson again and again
He will carelessly lean upon shadows,
He will fall and weep over the pain.
The hand whose fond CT, sp was the surcst,
Will coldly withdraw from his own,
The sunnicst eyes will be clouded,
And he wi be walking alone.

A loo of rcproach was Caroine's re-
ply to Edgnrs words. And when he
again pressed her to his heart in his final
farewell, and left her, she felt then as if
it was for ever.
Before two years had passed. there

He ceased, tired and fainting almost,
from the exertion of so much speaking.
Again the kind attendant came, Caroline
motioned the woman into the adjoining
room, and questioning her closely, learn
ed that he was entirely without money.
The little he had was soon consumed in
obtaining the most necessary medicines.
Returning to the bedside, she stood. her

THE WEIGHT OF COTTON BALES.
1t Affects Comparisons of the last
and Previous Crops.
From the New York Bulletin.

The official statement from carefully kept
records OF the cotton movement puts the crop
of ls7l-'72 at a trihe below 5000, 600 bales, or
about 1876, 600 bales less than Tor the year
ending August 81, 1871. This latter amount
has been generally accepted as the actual de-
hclt In the crop, but inquiries among those
who have handled the cotton lead US to be.
lleve tina while there is a material falling of
In the number of bales, the actual deficit In
pounds will be considerably lighter. Hereto
fore the average weight OF a bale has been
from 400 TO 400 pounds. In 1s70-'7l the aver
age weight per bale was 464 pounds. This
would make the crop Of 1852, BIT bales yield
lois, 428. 666 pounds. The same average
would give 1880, Oss, 1865 pounds as the crop of
ls7l-'72; a loss OF 639, 1925, 1923 pounds. Weigh
masters and others who have handled a large
proportion of The crop slate, however, that
the bales during The past Year have been unu-
sually heavy.
The average weight of former years has
been exceptionally light, and, indeed, i've
hundred pounds have not baen considered
heavy. Texas bales have, as the rule, run the
heaviest, many of Them ''welghing out" over
ak hundred pounds, and few bales going be-
low five hundred and fifty pounds. From
other States the bales seem to have ranged
from four hundred and fifty to i've hundred
ard City pounds, and it would certainly not
BIZ exlravagaut, from these facts, to figure
upon five hundred and twenty-five pounds as
as average weight Tor our last crop. This
brings tie Yield up to ,56l ,534 275 pounds,
which will probably be found tO be below The
actual yield Of The crop. Whether this heavy
baling has been carried on for the purpose Of
influencing prices does not appear, but the
facts clearly show how unsafe 1t may be TO
base crop estimates and prices upon the num-
Der of bales unless some standard OF weight
be established by the trade.
These facts give weight to The suggestion
that a convention oil representatives from the
various cotton exchanges of the United States
be called, and that a standard Of weights be
established, together with, what Is vastly
more Important, o standard of classification
which shall do away with SON of The prac-
tees now carried on here and in other cities,
and enable the buyer Of a certain grade of cot
ton to nave at least a general Idea of what
quality of the staple he is likely to receive in
return for his money, without personally ex-
aiming each bale OF his purchase.
