LIFE'S SWEETEST THINGS

There's beauty in the dawning light.
And twilight fair or starlit night
Has each its charms and grace;
But lovelier still on earth 10 me,
The fairest thing my eye can see,
The beauty of thy face.
There's calmness on the oceans breast,
As deep and blue it seems to rest
Meath bluer heavens above;
But deeper calmer. still to me
Than ever sea or sky can be.
Thine azure eyes my love
There's music IN the running stream
And music when the woodlands seem
Awake with songs of birds;
But sweeter. dearer, still 10 me
Than natures voice can ever be,
The music Of thy words.

THERE is little or no hope that con- gress will give us any financial legisla- tion which will relieve the stringency of money, at the session beginning Monday, or that the tariff will be in any manner improved. Hence we had just as well let politics go to the devil, and begin to hustle in the direction of improving cur condition. Let every man produce something which will bring money into the country and re- tain here that which we already have. live within his means, pay his debts, encourage home institutions, buy at home and build up your county, and an- other year will find us not caring con- tinental whether we have a single standard, a double standard or no stan- dard at all. High living. nothing to exchange for money, sending the mon- ey abroad and buying on credit at home will ruin the best country on earth.

 Ibis is the way the editor feels when he does up his sentiments in blank verse:
 - would fly from the city's rule and law-from its fashions and it's forms cut loose-and go where the strawberry grows on its straw and the gooseDerry grows on it's goose: where the catnip tree is climbed by the cat as she clutches for her prey-the guileless anu unsuspecting rat on the rattan bnsh at play; l will catch at ease the saffron COW and the cowlet in their glee; as thsy leap in joy from bough to boagh n the top of a cowslip tree: and list while the partridge drums his drum, and the woodchuck chucks his wood, and the dog devours the dog wood pli m m the primitive solitude.
 'Oh itt me drink from the moss. grown pt mp, that was hewn from the pumpkin tree Eat mush and milk rom the rural stump, from folly and fashion flee-new gathered mush from the mushroom vine, and drink from the milkweed sweet-with pineapnle from the pine.

 The plan of our Book of the Fair | IS to present in type and picture, in the highest style of art, the entire ex- position within a reasonable space. To do this we coRnot give in detail every exhibit. as this would be no less wearisome than uninstTuctive. Where there are twenty or forty displays of one industry, to present few of the best, as examples of the whole, giving more or less extended mention to the others, is obviously far better than to give them all in detail, which latter course would lead to ten or twenty bulky volumes, which few would care to house even or examine. We hope to accomplish all within the limits of l 900 imperial folio pages, F by Is inches.
