ROBERT BURNS ON YOUTH.v

A poem Just found in one of Burns man,
script Excise Books.
Youth is the vision of morn
That flies the coming day;
1t is the blossom on the thorn,
Which wild winds sweep away;
II is the image Of the sky
In CLASSY waters seen,
When not cloud appears to fly
Across the blue serene.
But, when the waves begin to roar
And lift their foaming head,
The morning stars appear no more
And all the heavens is fed.
'Tis fleeting as the passing rays
or bright electric fire
That fash about with sudden blaze
And in that blaze expire.
It is the mornings gentle gale
That as it swiftly blows
Scarce seems to sigh across the vale
Or bend the blushing rose.
But soon the gathering tempests soar.
And all the sky deform;
The gale becomes the whirlwind's roar,
The sigh an angry storm.
For Care, and Sorrows morbid gloom,
And heart .corroding Strife,
And Weakness. pointing to the tomb,
Await the Noon of Life.

Governor Hill, Of New York, has
done one good thing. Under law
OF New York, recently passed, the
State, or ITS officers, is forbidden to
let out convict labor on contract.
Some addition had to be made to the
State Reformatory at Elmira, and the
managers OF the institution advertised
the work, calling for bidders, The
contract to do tie building, which is
rather extensive, was let to firm OF.
contractors and work commenced.
There upon the contractors applied to
the managers Of the Reformatory,
who, OIL their application, permitted
them to employ convicts at 75 cents
o day per man, the same to be charg-
ed against their bills for performing
the work. This arrangement, con-
venient ms it may seem on its face.
led to complaint from the honest
Of the State, and Cover
nor Hill was called upon to interfere.
His action was prompt. The ingen-
ious contrivance whereby it was
sought to be made to appear that
there was no contract for the employ
ment of convict labor he brushed
away in few words, saying that its
ultimate effect would be TO nullify the
law, whose intention is to prevent the
bringing OF convict labor into compe-
,ition with that Of honest men. So
,he convenient arrangement was
annulled, and the convicts

Why Don't You say A,neui

A few years ago, as Charles @. Fin.
ney was holding q series Of meetings
in the city Of Edinburgh, many per.
sons called upon him for personal
conversation and prayer. .aeH
One day q gentleman appeared, in
great distress of mind. He had lis
tened 10 Mr.. Fnney's sermon onthe
previous evening, and IL had torn
away his "refuge Of lies" Mr.. Fin
ney was plain and faithful with him,
pointing out to him the way of lie
clearly, and his only hope Of salvation.
The weeping man assured him that
he was willing to give up all for
Jesus-that he knew Of nothing he
would reserve-all for Jesus.
"Then let US 60 upon our knees,
and tell God Of that" said Mr.. Fin
ney. So both knelt at the, altar, and
Mr.. Finney prayed: :. 50.
40 Lordl this man declares that
he is prepared to take Thee as his
God, and cast himself upon Thy care,
now and forever"
The man responded, "Amen!"
Mr.. Firney continued: 10 Lord!
this man vows that he is ready to give
his wife, family and all their interests,
up to Thee"
Another hearty "Amen!" from the
man.
We went on. 80 Lord! he says
that he is also willing to give Thee
his business whatever it may be, and
conduct it for Thy glory"
The man was silent-no response.
Mr.. Finney was surprised at his
silence, and asked:
"Why don't you say, Amen to
thisi"
because the Lord will not take
my business, sir; l am in the spirit
trade" lie replied. t.l q
The traffic could not Withstand
such test as that. "The Lord will
not take such q business under His
care. He demands its destruction,
us one of the mightiest obstacles to
the progress Of His cause in the earth.

write, under date Of May lst:
b sUGAR-Since our last report the situation has
greatly improved, owing 70 the fact that the Beet
seedlings in Europe are largely decreased, to-
gether with the certainty Of a smaller Cuba crop
than was expected. We quote from the New
York exchanges of the 23d ultimO. as follows:
Rainy weather in Cuba having seriously inter-
fered with grinding, that the output will prob
ably be loss than that Of last years $50 600 This
prospect, together with the ruinous prices at
which planters have been compelled to sell over
one-third of the crop, has resulted finally in at
tempt to withhold the balance, in hopes of higher
prices, so that the offerings from Cuba are very
much smaller than usual at this season Of the
year, and the difference Will soon be felt by the
refners The statistical position shows improve
meut and the outlook is more encouraging In
several particulars. The export demand for re-
fined Is resumed, but purchases are restricted by
the higher freghts and improving prices 1t Is
becoming evident that our market must rise to
the parity Of other consuming markets. There
seems no good reason why centrifugals, for in
stance should be selling SO low as they were when
Beet sugar was at los. in London.
