He whiopered low when Uoe Spring time ... flew, Os the tangled path* ia which men etray, And around me ail hi* anno he threw, ili» eyee ware on fire that day. We parted : yee ! hut I olung to h e, And I put ap my Hp* «« ho hi*je.l »S» ,n ? Bat the laughing eyea of the heaven grew dim, And were ewollen black with rain. They came to me when my lover was gone, And oaid he was pour and toiled for bread } i. ■ They talked of ruin end tear* alone, And my heart was dull as lead. And when they laid the bribe at my feet, ’Twee the same old tale that is often told; They played on the strings of my heart s conceit, And daisied my eyes with gold. I sold myself to a loveless thing, And I walked to the altar, and there I lied; For my heart was away with tho primrose spring, And 1 by my husband's side. And now you ask me what of the lie ? I’ve paid full dear for my girlish greed ; •Twere belter, I think, for a woman to die Than to live the life I lead. I am alone, but still I can sing, And pray for the ruin of Winter's rain, For the scent of the primrose-crown of SpriDg, Will return to me again. [ /.oo(foil Socir'y. OUR CHILDREN. “A child is born; now take tho gem and make it K bud of moral beauty. let the dews Os knowledge, and the light of virtue, wake it In richest fragrance and in purest hues ; For soon the gatbvriug of death will break it From its weak stem ot life, and it shall lose All power to charm ; but if that lovely flower Hath swelled ono pleasure, or subdued one pain, Oh ! who shall say that it has lived iu vain ?” UrsETTixu op Titi.es is the South.— Commenting on the Preamble of the Congressional Reconstruction Rill, which declares that “ tio legal State governments exist in the rebel States of Virginia,” etc., the New York Journal of Commerce says: If there be no legal State govern ments, then everything done in the legis lature or courts, or in any other depart ments of these governments, are void. The judgments obtained in their courts are void ; the criminals confined in their prisons, by sentence pronounced in the State courts, are entitled to imme diate discharge. There must be a general jail delivery. These are the necessary consequences of illegal State governments. Cavet.s Borx ix Captivity.—A Cheltenham (Eng.) paper says: “An Arabian or single hump f{Hi and a p.<,,rinn or double humped camel, noth belonging to Mrs. Wombwell’s menagerie, Lave just given bint, to calves. The Hauimm camel is particnlnrly fond of its baby, and is nursing it well, covering it up with its long inane when it lies down. The Arabian camel is rather spitelul, and Mr. Fairgrieve was com pelled to take the calf from her, as she threatened to kill it. He immediately procured a feeding bottle, and is bring ing the calf up admirably with milk from the mother, put into the bottle. The father of both the camels is a very large double humped Baetrian camel, aud is considered the largest and hand somest in Britain. There have been only four camel calves horn in Britain, and what makes this the more curious is the two births taking place within half an hour of each other. Mr. Fair grievc has named the male calf “Robert Burns,” ns *it was born on the great Scottish bard’s birthday. Dax Rice's Last.— Dan Rice remit ted, in settlement of an account with a newspaper out West, a three dollar bill which was returned endorsed, ‘This note is counterfeit; please send an other.” It was two months before Dan replied, when he apologized for the delay, saying he had been unable until now * to get another counterfeit three dollar bill,” but he hoped the one he now en closed would suit, professing at the same time, his inability to discover what the objection was to the other, which he thought as good a counterfeit as he ever saw. Dr. Franklin's celebrated receipt for cheap sleigh riding rnns as follows : Sit in the hall in your night clothes, with both doors open, so that you can get a good draft, put your feet in a pail of ice water, drop the front door key down your back, hold an icicle in one hand and ring the tea-bcll with the other. He says you can’t tell the difference with your eyes shut, and its a great deal cheaper. —A drunken fellow had wandered into a Sunday School, and taken a seat among the primer scholars, when the teacher accosted him with: “Why, James, do you know what a condition yon are in ?” “ Yes, m’m, in th’ gall of bin’nest, ’n the dept’s 'f ’oiquity. Ask me some hard quesh'n." —The Princess of Wales has her third baby, a daughter, born on Wednesday, the 20th. She has been married not four years, and has three children, which is doing as well as could be ex pected of any princess. —Mr. Bolts has just recovered a horse which was stolen from him early in the lv&r. Although Botts has recovered his horse, it the horse has the hots he is past recovery.

Small bills, to Plantar* and others, are JiUed at a shad* higher RKMABIts. Bu*lnea» ha* b««n only moderately adfre dnrlfig the week, excepting in the receipt* and aalea of Corn, which have been large. Until |he la*t day or two, arrival* were freely taken at Bill rate*, but there i* now •• eaaier feeling, and the large ship ment* on the way will probably atrike a dull and declining market. Stock* of other Weateiu pro duce and provision* appear to be comiug In a liute In excess of the demand. Ihia is especially true of Oata, which are plenty and eery dull—the de mand fbr sowing being over. Cotton, which was dull and declining at the cloae of last week, con tinued to give way until about the middle of the week, when it reached the lowest point of the season—Middling being at me time as low as 2»h ceuta. During tb* last three days there has been a better feeling, and prices have improved. It is, perhaps, idle to attempt to account for the fluctuations iu this staple—the late decline being against the previous judgment of the most saga oious »ueu in (he trade. Prostration in Manchester, end the large receipt* on this aide, are, perhaps, the leading causes of the decline in Liverpool; but the scarcity of money at the South, and the con tinued agitation* iu Congress, render our markets quite at the mercy of the combinations of manu facturers and speculators, notwithstanding the general lietief thru the crop will not be as large as past receipts indicate, or equal to the wants of trade for the season. The Cotton grower who has grain and bacon to buy can not wait to realize the value of his crop near the close of the season, and we believe the resolution is general—at least in this section —to plant less Cotton, and pay more attention to fall supplies of food, end thus render the planting interest in a greater degree inde pendent of the influences to which wc have re ferred. The receipts at aU the ports, at the latest mail dates, amount to 1,293,907 bales; stocks on hand, 509,711 bales. The amount of Cotton in sight at interior points, added to the receipts, makes about 1,410,000 bales. The receipts for the last week show a very material falling off, and there is nothing to iudicate that the crop will much exceed 1,750,000 bales. FINANCIAL. There is nothing new or cheering iu the Financial aspect of the country. Notwithstanding the pro position of Congress to increase the currency ?100,0UU,000, the political affairs of the South are kept in such an uncertain condition that little of the surplus means of the great commercial centres find investment here, while the fluctuations iu Oold are felt more seriously here than elsewhere, because less subject to our control. Our last quo tations were 13b to 140 for Gold, and 130 to 133 for Silver. There was an advance early in the week, which has been maintained, with little variation, aud we quote at the close as follows: Gold, buying 1 40 Gold, selling 1 42 Silver, buying l 32 Silver, selling 1 37 The Banks continue to check on the North at par Brokers charge *4 to off: thirty day bills I>4 per cent, off; sixty day bills off. Loans on outside paper are made at 3 per cent, a month, aud even higher rates. PROVISIONS. BACON.—There is but little inquiry, and prices are easier. We have revised our quotations, to which we refer. FLOUR —Is in only moderate request, and prices are unchanged. The City Mills continue to supply the principal demand, which is almost entirely local. LARD—Is in fair demand at 15j*(3il6c. for Prime I.eat" in barrels; half barrels, smaller packages are u shade higher. t BUTTER.—The market is well supplied with Northern and Western brands, and prices are rather easier. Country Butter has declined, and is in only moderate request at 25@30c. EGGS —The markefc’is glutted, and prices have declined to 15 cents. GRAIN. CORN.—The demand for Corn was quite active during the early part of the week, but for the lust two days market has been rather weak and irregular, and lower prices are looked for. bales have been made at $1.40, hack* returned— and at 51.42dt1.45 from the depot, though the usual price from store is still $1.50. OATS' —Have decliued 10@20c. on the week. The demand for seed is over, and the market is overstocked. Round lots can be bought at 35£i90c. The nominal rates from store are 95c.<«:»l 09, and limited sales are made at those rates. POTATOES.—“Pink Eyes,” for planting, are in request at $9.00 per barret. Other kinds tor use may bq had at $5.25(^5.50. HAY.—Stocks are quite low, and under n con tinued demand. price* -at V2.s«K£t'2 75 for ityrmern and Eastern, and $2.00Cg.2 25 for home cured. SUNDRIES. FERTILIZERS.' —Trade in artificial manure* ifr very active, at (be quotations given our table, to which we refer. Stocks large, and a.rivals are constantly coining in. LUMBER.—I iters is a fair demand, and orders are filled bjwthe neighboring mills at $2U&25 per thousaud, delivered. TOBACCO.—There is e good demand for Com mon and Medium grades, at the prices quoted elsewhere. Fine and fancy brands are in but little request. Our quotations include taxes. COTTON. We left the market dull and irregular at the close of our last review, when Middling to Strict Middling were quoted ut 30c.; Good Middling to Middling Fair, 31c. In the afternoon, advices of a farther decline in Liverpool unsettled the market, and quotations were not given. The saies reported - embracing :*.h*o those of Friday —w ere 194 bales Receipts, ibid bales. On Monday, the market continued dull—Middling to Strict Middling, 29c.; Good Middling, 3Uc. Sales, 182 bales. Receipts, 245 bales. On Tuesday, there was a farther decline, and 177 bales were sold at lor Middling; Strict Alid dlieg to Good Middling, 29@2!%c. Receipts, 107 bales. On Wednesday, the market opened weak, but advanced during the day half to one cent. Sales, 370 bales. Receipts, 100 bales. On Thursday, there was a still farther improve ment, but buyers and sellers could not generally agree, aud only 124 bales were sold, ut Lite, for ADddling; for Strict to Good Middling. Receipts, 131 bales. On Friday, there was a good demand, and all that was offered was freely taken at hardening prices. 'Jhe market is in a condition which hardly justifies quotations, but the sales indicate about 30c. for Strict and 30>.(ci3lc. for Good Middling to Middling Fair. Sales, 200 bales. Re ceipts, LU4 bales. The market presents no new features this morn ing, ;md we refer to the ruling rates of yesterday, as the only quotations we cun give at the close of our report.
