Once there was boat locked fast to o shore;
Hut rust eat the chains day by day,
And the boat was loOsened more and more,
As the fastenings slipped away;
Yet at any day an outstretched hand
Could have caught 1t and locked 1t back 10
land.
But never a hand was stretched 10 save.
And the boat ut last is free;
And shot like an arrow over the wave,
And drifted out mid-sea;
And never oh! never across the main
VIII the boat to shore be brought again.
:. 10 was my heart love-linked TO thine.
But neglect cat the chains away
Yet q tender word, love, opine,
Would have saved 1t any day;
Ay! q tender word, said first or last,
Would have mended the chain and held it
fast.
But the words were lacking, and no my
heart
slipped from the chain like the boat,
And then, as the last links fell apart,
1t sped DER the waves-afioat;
Nor pleading hands, nor words, you see,
Brings the boat to the shore, or my heart to
thee.

The inexhaustible resources of
France have never been more clear
~ shown than in the fact that M.
Magne, according to the Paris Pat
RE, will report, at the opening of
the National Assembly, surplus
OF $4,000, 900 francs in the treasury.
We question whether any other
country in the world could have
boosted of such feat within q
couple of years after the most ter
rible defeat recorded in modern his
tory, and the payment of an indem.
nifty unparalleled in the annals of
relentless victories. Torn by civil
dissension, her fair capital despoil-
ed and riven by domestic rebels,
and ground to the very dust by q
stern foe, France has quietly gone
to work to restore her shaken cred
it, and resumed, with incredible
rapidity, her place among the fore
most military, political, and com
mercial powers of the earth.

The Executive Committee of the German Ameri-
can Society called upon the Governor this morning
in reference TO the bill now pending before the AS
sembly recognizing the Emigrant Commission.
They desired the appointment by the Governor OF
well-kDown substantial citizens commissioners in
preference to politicians. Among those suggested by
them suitable candidates were John c. Green.
Geo Opdyke Moses Taylor, Cortlandt Palmer, jr.,
Jesse Seligman, and w. Fl. Guntber. The Gov
erpor ignifed his willingness TO accord to the
views of the Committee careful consideration, and
requested that they should present them to him in
the form Of a memorial when the Emigration bill
shall reach the Executive Chamber. The bill was
introduced by Senator Robertson passed the Senate,
and reported by the Assembly Committee on
Commerce and Navigation with amendment
requiring the Governor to appoint portion Of
the Commissioners from the interior districts
of the State Mr.. Hustled has charge Of the bin in
the Assembly and as soon as it is reached in Cen
eral Orders will move to strike out this amend
ment and leave the Governor untTammeled in the
appointment of the new Commission. On the other
hand, it has been learned that Thomas Murphy has
given orders to the members under bis control to
oppose the passage Of the Senate BILL and TO defeat
any bill which does not contain the names of the
Commissioners the reason given by Mr.. Murphy
being that the Governor, like Mayor Havemeyer,
cannot be trusted 10 make appointments. 1t is no
secret that most Of the nominations thus far made
by the Governor have been very unsatisfactory TO
Mr.. Murphy.

any one doubts the financial wisdom of
the course above recommended let him try
the experiment for once of buying years
supply of some article that will keep.
That is, let him spend at once as much for
sugar, molasses and starch as he pays out
for these articles in the course of year,
and see whether he saves or loses by the
operation. In making such purchases he
will, of course, buy by the quantity when
the articles are at the cheapest, coal in the
summer time, sugar and molasses in Janu-
ary and February, and dry goods when
they rule low. With a great many house
keepers the fact that they are short Of sup
plies renders them incapable of making the
most Of the resources at their command
With full supplies they might not furnish
better wardrobe or a more sumptuous ta-
BILE, but they would feel vastly more satis-
faction in their surroundings. We want
nothing so much as that which we are de-
MED. Not for this, however, but from mo-
tives Of economy in dollars and cents, we
urge on all those who can to buy by the
quantity, and not buy by the small.
