Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20-The amount of business
reported in the dry goods market to-day demon
strates the value OF the reductions which We're re
number and in size the mail orders received to-
day were in the highest degree satisfactory for
these and similar lines and the store trading has
been of a decidedly encouraging character In
other lines of staple cottons the market remains
rather quiet, though there has been some svm-
pathetic buying in brown sheetings and shirtings
and coarse colored goods. In the main, though.
there is no increase in the dealings in these goods
and although stocks in some quarters are quite
heavy, sellers feel that they will have to reduce
prices before they force heavy trading. In
print cloths there is continued dizziness the de-
mand being restricted to odd goods at very low
prices.

A RURAL OPINION.
From atlanta Constitution.

The poets that are singin Of the harvest rich an
sweet"
Never worked at fOdder-pullin', shuekin' corn or
ihreshin wheat;
The distance sorter dazzles, but teller's fancy
fails
When he's put to pickin' cotton, haulin hay or
splittin rails.
In The cities they are singin' Of the music in the
delss-
The everlastin ringin' of the pesky cattle bells;
But they'd sorter change the metre-with their
hands as soft as silk
II you made 'em drive the cattle home an siyesem
cows to milk
They make you tired talkin' bout the noble sons
Of toir--
The "horny handed heroes that are tillin' of the
soil;
But it sets me down to thinkin': II that labor
Iovin, crowd
Had hands one-half as horny, would they blow
their horns 50 loud
It's distance makes EN- doit-they write by city
rule;
They praise Texas pony. make an angel of a
mule
But I tell you. feller citizens, 'twould make EN-
change their style
If ever we could run 'em down an plOw em all
awhile?

THE oLD-TIME FRIENDS
From the Boston Traveller.

Mister soldier Of the Legion, you are dying in
Algiers
And the boy upon burning deck" is shedding
bitter tears;
And we're getting closer-closer to the Hohen-
linden fight,
And we really fear that curfew's going to ring
again tonight.
Sir John Moore will be buried in his ancient sol
dier's coat
While not drum is beating, and we hear no
funeral note;
And Mary known to all the girls so very long ago,
WIN lead us out that little lamb whose fleece
was white as snow"
And Cato viii tell Plato that he reasons very we'll
While Hamlet on the future in soliloquy will
dwell;
And wen hearken on the hilitops and Wen listen
in the glade
To the wonder and the thunder of the charging
Light Brigade"
Bnt come, old friends and lead us to the meadows
far away.
For the boys who rang the Curfew once are getting
old and gray.
And Death the reckless ranger is thinning out the
line,
But in dreams they drift to Ringen-to "Bingen on
the Rhiney
