GREAT HAY CRoP-COTToN RIv-
ALED-The hay crop of Maine this
year is worth as much in the Boston
and New York markets as the cotton
crop of Georgia Our hay crop is not
less than 100000 tons. 1t sells to-
day in Boston at $50 ton. That
would amount to s4S,000,000. A
princely sum, trulyl The cotton crop
of Georgia this year is estimated at
600, 900 bales of 400 pounds EACH
This, at twenty cents per pound, would
bring in the Boston market 5 40, 600,
600. Hereafter the hay crop of Maine
will be with us as important staple as
the cotton crop is to the Southern
States.-Bangor { Me- Democrat.

old BILL ALLEN" as they call
him, is a man Of small majorities and
narrow escapes. He was elected to
Congress when young man-nearly
forty years ago-by popular majority
of one over Governor Macarthur. To
gain a seat in Congress he lost the
chance of an excellent wife for twenty
years. He was eOurting the daughter
of his competitor, and the fair lady
wouldn't think Of marrying her fathers
successful adversary, although twenty
years later she changed her mind and
became Mrs. Allen. His next politi-
cal venture was as a senatorial candi-
date, in which he was successful by a
single vote in the legislature and now,
after twenty years Of retirement, he
comes out for Governor, and it takes q
week to decide his fate. In a State
numbering more than three millions of
people, a majority of a thousand is a
small affair, especially when we remem-
Der that ten years ago the same State
was carried by more than a hundred
thousand by Mr.. Aliens old friend aud
associate, John BrOugh.-iS. Lolds

He set at the ale-house door,
Tie night was bleak, and cold, and wild;
His clothes weie few, and thin, and poor:
His feet were horn'd, his head was bare,
Say, did an angel hover there
over that child?
His torn robes tapped before the blast,
He spoke 40 wolG, 1OT wept, nor smiled;
The snowflakes kissed him as they passed,
His hair hung DER bis half-clOsed eyes;
And still he loOlS'd uoward the skies.
The poor lost child.
We touch'd his hand, twas cold and chill,
He spoke no word, nor wept, nor smiled;
We touch'd his cheek, twas colder still;
"Go home, go home," the stranger said
He'd gone, dear boy, for he was dead!
The drunkard's child.

Ii Never Pays.

Ii Never Pays.
1t never pays to growl and fret
When fortune seems our foe
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the drawer blow.
For luck is work,
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom,
But yield the pay,
And clear the way,
That better men have room.
1t never pays to foster pride
And squander time in show;
For friends thus won are sure to run
In times Of want OF woe.
The noblest worth
OF all the earth
Are gems of heart and brain,
A conscience clear,
A household dear,
And hands without stain.
1t never pays 10 hate n foe,
Or cater to friend;
To fawn and whne much less repine,
TO boFrow or to lend.
The faults of men
Are fewer when
Each rows his own Canoe;
For fcuds and debts
And pampered pets
Unbounded mischief brew.
II never pays to hate foe,
In drudging after pain,
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is chcaply bought with pain.
An humble lot,
A coy cot,
Have tempeted even kings,
For station high,
That wealth will buy,
Not Oft contcntment brings.
1t never pays blunt refrain
Well worthy Of a song;
For age and youth must learn the truth,
That nothing pays that's wrong.
That good and puro
Alone arc sure
To bring prolonged success,
While what is right
In Heavens sight
Is always sure to bless.

The New Orleans Pe1yune, which believes
what We do moi, Eanely. that the raid into
Mexico was plsrned and or,;ered from
Washington, has the following remarks on
the possibility Of protecting ourselves with
ont making war on q weak neighbor:
"We have no doubt that two thousand
cavalry, judiciously distributed and actively
emplo, ed along the border, could have efiec-
tuaI.y prevented and punished the iawless
inroads of the Kickapooe-a feeble tribe OF
not a hundred warriors. Certainly their
depreda,ions ought TO be arrested; and our
frontier Inhabitants On the Rio Grsnde
oupbt 10 be efiecfually protected. 1t is
mere question of force; ana surely great ma
tion like the United States cannot be driven
tn the alternative of making war on feeoier
neiphbor or submit to being preyed upon oy
them. Such an alternative is the trick OF a
cunning snd interruptions diplomacy, which
iooks to retaliation ard war. 1t Is designed
that Mexico shail re,aiiate; add the more
vigorous and re-niois-the better. Ii poor
Mexico submits weekiy 10 cur bullying ana
outrage on hsr territory, it will be an I'M
mense disappo!niment."
While We do not at all sgree with the fte-
ayua. that the raid was an enterprise OF the
administration, We accept it as authority on
the question of what might have been done
instead of invading friendly territory. The
act of Colonel Mackenzie, observes the Bos.
ton Ad,srtiser, was such as We should mol
have submitted to if it had been our OK thai
was gored,-an that consideration, it seems
to us, settles the whole question Of right Oh

IMPLEMENTS.

The Topeka Commonwealth speaks OF the
rage for supplements among the Kansas
daily papers, and thinks the publication Of
a vast amount of extra reading is wholly I'm.
necessary. As THE TINES led of with Elk
pages, and others only followed, ii is per
baps not out of place TO say that we printed
two extra pages Sunday mornings as neces-
sity. The demand for space by advertisers
during the spring months is usually active,
and in Leavenworth this year there has been
a worthy rivalry among the dealers as re-
CARDS the employment of display type,
hence, TO serve our readers and accommo-
date advertisers, we were compelled to issue
extra pages or enlarge the paper. We be
lieve that Kansas papers are already too
large for the cities in which they are print
ed, and therefore hold that it is better to
prin, extra pages while advertisers fill them,
and then discontinue them when the space is
no. demanded, than enlarge the paper and
afterwards be obliged to reduce its size or
publish dead-head advertisements TO fill up

THE VIENNA .CANDAl

A recent letter from Mr.. Bayard Taylor
to the New York TriJuas, written in Wen
ma, indicates hopeless confusion and dis
graceful incaracity. lie does not intimate
that the charges against Gen. Van Buren, are
true, or that he ought to have been removed,
but he does say that the new commissioners
have failed to reduce the chaotic condition Of
things to anything like order. He speaks Of
the situation as painfully humiliating to an
American, which is passed over in a sort of
plying silence by the ether nationa,ities
present. The Honorary Commissioners"
appointed in large numbers by all the differ
ent State, are generally making themselves
conspicuous by their absurd conduct, though
they have received no recognition whatever
from the Austrian officials. He character
ICES the whole representation, as IT is pre-
scented before the world, as a'black smutch, ;,
which it undoubtedly IL, and he ascrihes it
properly to the appointment of lot Of no.
bodies, who were never heard of before, as
the Executive Commissioners.

their capacity to carry on government, and
the result il not complimentary to them.
The treasury Of the State is bankrupt, and
the prospect of fresh supplies is POOR and
discouraging one. The obligations of the
State are maturing, and there are no funds
to meet them, and no means at hand for OBJ
tanning any. The Governor has disappoint-
ed every one in choosing his officers, and
disrule and misrule appear to prevail
throughout.
