To think our breasts hare harbored hate.

White daisies on the meadow green
Present thy beautious form to me
Peaceful and joyful these are seen,
And peace and joy encompass thee.
I watch them where they dance and shine,
And love them-for their bealty's thine.
Red roses DER the woodland brook
Remember me thy lovely facei
So blushing and 50 fresh it look,
So wild and shy its radiant grace,
kisa them in their coy retreat,
And think of lips more soft and sweet.
Gold arrows Of the merry morn
Shot swiftly over eastern seas,
Gold taasels of the bending corn
That ripple in tho August breeze,
Thy wilderiug smile, thy glorious hair
And all thy power and state declare.
White. red and gold-the awful crown
Ofvirtue and of beauty too!
From what . hight those eyes look down
On him who proudly dares to sue,
Yet. free FROM self as God from sin
lslOve that loves nor asks to win.
Let me but love thee in the flower,
The waving grass, the dancing wave
The fragrant pomp Of garden bower,
The violet on the nalneless grave,
Sweet dreams by night, sweet thoughts BY
day,
And time shall tire ere loyo decay.
Let me but love thee in the glow
When morning on the ocean shines,
Or in the mighty winds that blow,
Snow-laden drought the mountains pines
In all that q fair, or grand, or dread
And all shall die ere love he dead.

Cotton Spinning.
From the St. Louis Republican,

as an industry in the South,
has not been prosecuted more
extensively. 1t can be done
there far more proftably than
in the East. The cost of trans
portation, both in the raw MAJ
terial and the finished fabric,
could be added to the cotton !
value, and in this way compen-
sation be made for the gradual
but inevitable tendency to de-
probation which is now going |
on in the cotton culture.
1t would also avoid the me-
cessity, now seriously thought
advisable, of abandoning the
cultivation of cotton to an ex>
tent that will again bring the
advantages OF price in favor of
the planter. This conclusion
appears reasonable, in view of
the fact that other productive
industries to which the climate
of the South is adapted are
really more thoroughly self
sustaining. The failure of a
cotton crop impoverishes the
planter. When his Industry is
diversified, the chances are the
reverse, and serious misfortune
lis not likely to ensue.
The cotton crop Of last year,
representing an aggregate of
1000, 900 of bales, was raised at
a loss to the producers of over
$50, 600, 900; while the cotton>
Ispinners declared a dividend
upon their earnings of 40 per
cent. The bank stock of Fall
River, Mass, the great manu-
featuring centre, has quadru-
pied in ten years. So indica~
tive of profitable industry are
