The market this morning was firm,
with an active demand for bright cot
tons. Dusty cottons are not much in
request. During the morning there was
good inquiry for cottons above good
ordinary. Offerings were fair, with
holders asking full prices. The New
York market for spot cottons. was re-
ported qniet; middling, l6sc. Futures
were quiet and easy. Liverpool was
quoted quiet, with quotations I'M
changed The market here presented a
good feeling, with good inquiry but
light trantactions, owing to the wide diff
ference Of prices between buyers and
sellers. In some cases buyers and sell
ers made concessions, in order to effect
sales. Several lists changed hands at
the following: Good ordinary, 132@l4c;
low middling, l5@l5sc; strict low mid
ding, l5i@l59c; middliDg. l54@l5sc,
and one list at leo. The market at the
closing of our report was quiet land
steady.

An OLD SONG.
You laugh as you turn the yellow page
OF that queer old song you sing,
And wonder how folks could ever see

You laugh as you turn the yellow page
OF that queer old song you sing,
And wonder how folks could ever see
a charm in the simple melody
OF such an old fashioned thing.
That yellow page was fair to view,
That quaint old type was fresh and new,
That simple strain was our delight.
When here we gathered night by night,
And thought the music of our day
An endless joy to sing and pray,
In our youth. long, long ago.
A joyous group. we loved to meet,
When hope was high and life was sweet;
When romance shed its golden light
That circled in nimbus bright
Ger times unwrinkled brow.
The lips are mute that sang these words;
The hands are still that struck these chords
The loving heart is cold.
From ont the circle, one by one,
Some dear companion there has gone;
While others stay to find how true
That life has chord and discord too,
And all of us are old.
Tis not alone, when music thrills,
The power of thought profound that fills
The soul. 'Tis not all art !!
The old familiar tones we hear
Die not upon the listening ear;
They yibrate in the heart
And now YOU know the reason, dear,
Why have kept and treasured here
This song of bygone years.
You laugh at the old d-fashioned strain;
1t brings my childhood back again,
And fills my eyes with tears.

The fifth girl looks at each sheet and
puts them into piles, perfect and imper-
feet
The sixth girl folds them. 1t is funny
enough to see her snatch up just SIN
sheets, double them over with one hand
and press them down with block in the
other. She never makes mistake in
the number, and, working so fast, she al
most looks like machine.
The seventh girl takes one of these
packages of six sheets, puts it under II
swapping little hammer that runs by
steam, and in an instant il is ornamented
with the little oval or square mark you
see on commercial note paper. The most
elegant papers are not stamped here, for
every one prefers his own initial or
monogram, and that is done to order ut
stationer's.
The eighth girl puts the packages into
reams and half reams and seals them
up.
Now, did you ever hear in any fairy
story of a transformation more wonder
ful than from q disgusting dirty rag to ~
dainty sheet Of note-papery And If that
sheet of paper contains aletter fromyour
dearest friend" wouldn't you put it
among your treasures?
But want to tell you another thing.
Do you know what droll things were
used to write on before paper-mils
were invented or cotton rags thought of?
The first writing was on flat stones, the
words cut in. | don't think many letters
were written in those days
After that the skins of animals were
used-dressed and prepared, of course.
But that grew inconvenient in time, and
then leaves were used, You think that
is funny, perhaps; but some people use
leaves TO this day. The Chinese do,
and the Hindoos use dried leaves, like
our palmleaf fans, with the letters
prickcd in.
But the first thing men made to write
on was papyrus Papyrus is water
plant, and was prepared for use by soak
ing the stem till it would unroll in lay
ers. These thin layers, being dried, were
pasted over each other, and the whole
smoothcd with polishing stone.
That made "a very good paper for the
first attempt, and gave us Il name for our
elegant supersuper," crcam-laid,"
etc, which fills our desks, and which
some of us mot you and y waste dread
tully-Harper's Bazar.

that she had forgiven Mr.. May for his
supposed deception, she waddled up to
him and gave him IA rousing kiss.

To make violet oil-pigment for print
ing on fabrics, pour alcoholic solution Of
violet aniline B. b. upon finely-powdered
chalk in a saucer, stir well with rod,
and allow it to dry on a hot plate or in
the stove, then stir to powder, and
again simply moisten it with the aniline
solution, dry again, pulverize, and pre-
serve in dry place. For use, rub some
with zinc-white, according to the shade
desired. The pigment is rich, and prints
well, but is not permanent in the air with
ordinary usage, and the best B. B. must
therefore be employed, of q greenish cast
like diamond fuchsine. With this the oil
color wears as well as much more expen.

ing seen the will, asked the monks

"Bat you do not understand it pro-
perly. 1t is said that, tho son shall
have that which you wish; You grant
ten to the heir; it is then two hundred
and ninety thousand frances that you
want. All we'll! following the clause
