that fifty people have been killed and

POETRY.
By MARY BAYARD CLARKE Z.

Rise. crowned with hope, o PROSTATE
South arise
And from these graves lit mp your
streaming eyes,
No LONGER mournful chances backward
cast.
No longer live within a buried past
Arise, like Abram put away your
dead,
The rough and thorny present calmly
tread.
And. with a heart that nevcr knew
disgrace,
With steadfast ooh the unknown flu
ture face.
As these met death, SO bravely meet
YOU life,
Cast from your soul the bitterness OF
strife,
And bury deep, in dust OF old de
~sires,"
Its still ~unquenched and slowly smoul-
dering fires.
Rise crowned with thorns, and bleed
ing lift your cross,
Life brings no real gain without some
loss
The battle DER, a sentinel you stand,
To guard the sacred freedom of our
land.
Then watch ye well the s~epulchre,
where lies,
A nations buried hope, till it shall
rise.
And coming generations joyful see
One Fatherland redeemed and free.

Pork.

Pork is cheaper to-day than it has
been at any time for the past thirty
years. This is the result of over pro-
duction in the western States. where
swine raising for some time past has
proved a most profitable industry.
The decline in prices has been very
great. and a number of provision firms
in the West and East have failed in
consequence, but the trade is not like
ly to be permanently crippled, because
exports Of pork, bacon, and lard
are increasing, and it is certain that
the product will be reduced to nearly
the apparent or estimated demands.
foreign and domestic. The demand
from ,.J.1a' is very heavy.
