HIS YOUTH

MS YOUTH. 4.
His coat was too thick and his cap was toe
Il thin,
He couldn't be quiet, he hated din;
He hated to write and he hated to read,
He was certainly very much injured indeed
H must study and work over books he de-
tested,
His parents were strict, and ne never was
rested;
He knew he was wretched IS wretched could
be,
There was no one so wretchedly wretched as
he.
HIS MATURITY.
His farm was too small and his taxes too big,
He was selfish and lazy, and cross as pig;
His wife was SO silly, his children too rude;
And lust because he was uncommonly good,
He never had mosey enough or to spare,
He had nothing at all fit to eat or to wear;
He knew he was wretched as wretched could
be,
There was 40 one SO wretchedly wretched as
he.
He finds he has sorrows more deep than his
fears,
He gIumbies to think he has grumbled for
years;
He grunibles to think he has grumbled away,
His home and his fortune, his life's little day
But, ALAS t is too late,-it is no use to say
That his eyes are teo dim, and his hair is too
gray.
He knows he is wretched as wretched can be
There is no one more wretchedly wretched
than he.-

The London correspondent of
the World.pays the following tri-
butte to American cotton mannfac-
turers: I" The cotton trade is pass
ing from England, not temporarily,
but permanently, and no one who
is engaged in it yet realizes that
fact. And what has produced the
revolution? The great and silent
advance made in cotton raanufac-a !
ture on your side OF the Atlantic.
Whenever piece Of English cot
ton can enter a market another
piece of American cotton is to be
seen side by side with it-always
as good, and sometimes better in
qnality, and lower in price. This
fact is fatal to the recovery of
English trade. Who would have
believed ten years ago that such
things were possible? To be cam
did, there are many who do not
believe it now. 1t is an unwelcoms
phenomenon, and they are deter
mined not to see it, or try hard to
explain 1t away"
