"As idle as the Birds" you say.
All, much you know about IL
We're busv ali the livelong day;
We can't get on without it.
1T isn't much to build a nest ~
Well, then, suppose you try it,
Just work a week. and do your best
There'd not bird come nigh it,
You don't know where to find nice things
Nor how to weave them nicely,
And fix the sticks and straws ana strings
Each in its place precisely.
You can't accomplish that small task
With twenty times our labor;
Then don't be hard--that's all ask
Upon your little neighbor.
While wife is sitting, through the day
You'll hear my music ringing;
She'd tire to death, I've heard her say,
Ifttwere not for my singing.
And when the little ones have come,
help about the worming;
Each day full fifty we bring home,
And never mind their squirming.

As fast as l can skurry,
With voices in my ear that say,
"Oh father, hurry, harry
Then, just before they re taking wing.
! must keep close behind them;
It would be such dreadful thing
II some bad cat should find them
There is the twilight concert too.
And that must be attended.
And now, it must be clear to you
Our cares are never ended
For thus we work the livelong day.
You can't pretend to doubt it,,
You see there is no other way
And that is all abouti u.

LEAF TOBACCO.

Our market is very dull under very heavy
receipts and offerings, nearly all of which
is very inferior in quality. Our oldest buyers
assure us they have never seen crop SO poor in
quality as that portion of the crop which has
reached this market. 1t is generally believed
here that our planters are holding back all their
best grades for spring order and pricing, and
only sending forward now their lowest grades.
When the quality of the tobacco now being
offered is considered, we do not think there is
any cause for complaint as to the prices paid on
the part Of the planters
We renew our quotations of last week, though
there is a tendency to lower prices.

woman suffrage In England.

The Springfield Republican gives an ac-
count of 'The Present Position of Woman
Suffrage in England"
The Woman Suffrage movement in Eng
land sprang into active life in 1867. In
June Of that year, John Stuart Mill spoke
on behalf Of his bill for the enfranchise-
ment Of women. Fifty members of Par
(. Lament voted in his favor, while the petit
ton he presented from women asking for
their rights had only 400 signers, amongst
whom were Florence Nightingale, Harriet
Martinau and Mary Someryle. Last
year $50 members voted for Mr.. Jacob
Bright's bill, while over 800, 900 women
petitioned Parliament for the extension
OF the franchise. In 1867 there were
only four societies for promoting
the objects of the women.
In 1872. 300 local societies were
associated with these four, which began in
Manchester. Edinburgh Dublin and Lon
don. In 1873, nearly 100 more societies
joined the 300 then existing. AT least
220 members of the lately dissolved House
of Commons have pronounced in favor of
woman suffrage. Sir j. Coleridge, now
Baron Coleridge. DIR. Lyon Playfair, post
master-general of England, Sir Charles
luke, russell Uufney, recorder OF Lon
don, P. A. Taylor, of Leicester, Auberon
Herbert, d. McLaren, of Edinburgh,
Professor H. Fawcett and Disrael, are
friendly and earnest in helping on the
question. Even Gladstone has ex-
pressed himself as decidedly not OPP
posed to woman's having part in poit-
cal life. The leaders of the working linen
of England are all in favor of woman
suffrage. The women themselves are
working vigorously, and their presence on
school board committees and their voting
for representatives for these boards and the
town councillors of the various cities, clear
ly indicate the tendency of things, and,
with the facts adduced, prove that woman
suffrage is but question of time. AS
Mr. Gladstone said lately, it was clear it
would have to be granted--with proper
aateguards--in the near future.
