As die the embers on the hearth, And o’er the floor the shadows fall, And creeds the chirping cricket forth, And ticks the death watch in the wall, I see a form in yonder chair _ That grows beneath the waning light.— There are the sad features—there The pallid brow and locks ot white. Mv Father! when they laid thee down, And heaped the clay upon thy breast, And left thee sleeping all alone Upon thy narrow couch of rest. I know not why I could not weep— The soothing drops refused to roll, And oh! that grief is wild and deep. Which settles tearless on the soul. But when I saw the vacant chair, Thine hat upon the wall, The book—the penciled passage where, Thine eye had rested last Thc tree beneath whose friendly shade Thy trembling feet had wandered forth The very prints whose feet had made When last they feebly trod the earth; And though while countless ages fled Thy vacant feet would vacant stand- Unworn thy hat—thy book unread— * *-— % a x »v« fno sand, Effaced thy footstep from the sa And widowed in this cheerless world The heart that gave its love to thee, Tom like the vine whose tendrils curie More closely round the lallmg tree; Oh! Father! then, for her and thee Gushed madly forth the scalding tears, And oft and long, and bitterly Those tears have gushed in later \ears, For as the World grows cold around, And things take on their real hue, ’Tis sad to learn that love is found Alone, above the stars with you. MISCELLANEO US. A CLEVER SKETCH. The New Trowsers; Or Chinese PATIENCE- Dumas in bis “pictures of Travel in the South of France, relates an amusing exam ple of the patience and minuteness of Chi Jiese workmen. He visited the Museum of M. Grassett, at La Charite • “We went, he says, through four or five rooms successively, which were filled with curiou-objects, the majority of which had v ■» i* „ vf f'wnccat.t. h\7 on a nt his been procured for M. Grassett by one of his friends, a learned sea-captain who had sail ed round the world, 1 don t know-how many times, and who arrived from China about a fortnight or three weeks previously bringing with him a most singular example not of the intellect, but of the patience of the worshippers of the G reat Dr agon Among the different p airs ot trowsers which the captain had ma^e for him be fore leaving Paris, there was one which was considered a master-piece; it was one ot those miracles which sometimes issue from the establishments of Humann or Vaudeau and which envelop the boots, indicate the calf, abolish the knee, mark the thigh, and denv the existence of corporation. Accor dingly thanks to the predilection which the owner entertained for them, the trowsers, after having flourished along the coast, at the Cape of Good Hope, and the Isle o France, arrived at Canton, nearly worn out. Nevertheless, owing to the fashiona ble cut which nothing, not even the fact ot being new can supply the place of, they still looked very well, when the sailor, who served as the captain’s valet, let fall half the oil contained in a lamp which he was cleaning, on the thigh of the unfortunate pair. . In spite of his philosophy, this blow had such an effect upon the captain that he he had not quite recovered from it when one of his Canton associates came as usual to smoke a pipe with him—He found him in such a state of vexation that he feared some great misfortune must have happened to him, and accordingly he inquired what had taken place to alter his habitual good hu mor. The captain showed him the unfor tunate trowsers, which he had now thrown aside: “There!” said he, “just look! The very pair you were complimenting me on yesterday !” The friend took the trowsers, and turned them about with the most annoying calm ness. YVhen he was quite convinced that they could not be worn again, be observ ed : “Well, you must have another pair made.” “Another pair P answered the captain. ‘And who’s to make another pair ; some of your Chinese fellows ?” “Certainly!” some of my Chinese fel lows !” returned the friend, with irapor- turable coolness. “Yes, and get a sack sent to me, made in their regular style !’, continued the captain, shrugging his shoul ders. “They won’t make you a sack,” said the other ; but if you only give them the mod el upon which you want them made, they will turn you out a pair of trowsers that Vaudeau wouldn’t know from his own.” “Really ?” said the captain. “Upon honor,” assured the friend. “Well, I have have heard hundreds of times of the fidelity of the Chinese imita tion.” “And all that you have heard upon the subject has been less than the truth.” “You make me anxious to try them.” “Do try, especially as it won’t cost you much. How much did you pay for those trowsers ?” “Fifty-five or sixty francs—I don’t quite remember.” “Well, you can see what they’re capable of doing here for fifteen. “And what tailor must I take them to ?” “The first you come to. Mine, if you like; he lives at the gate.” The eaptain, rolls his trowsers under his arm, follows his friend, and arrives at the tailor’s. “Now,” said his friend, “explain what you want, and I will translate your words to him.” The captain did not want twice speaking to. He spread out the trowsers, pointed out their cut, and ended by saying that he wanted a pair exactly like them. The triend translated the order, and laid great stress on the directions. “Very well,” said the tailor, “in three days the gentleman shall have what he wants.” “What does he say?” asked the captain, impatiently. “He says you shall have what you desire in three davs.” “Three days! That’s a long time,” says the captain. The friend translated the captains re mark to the Chinese, who looked at the trowsers again, shook his head, and said a few words in reply to the interpreter “Well,” asked the captain. “He says there’s a great deal of work to do, and that three days are not too long in order to have it properly done.” “Well, three days, then; but don’t let him break his word.” “O as for that there is no fear, In three days, at the exact time, he’ll he at jour house.” And the two friends went away repeating their direcnBhs to the artist for the last time. Three days afterward, as the captain and his friend were smoking their pipes, the do mestic opened the door, and announced the tailor. . , “0, indeed, said the captain. ‘ Well, let us see if he is as skilful as he is punctual.’ “There they are,” said the tailor. “Let’s try them,” said the captain look the trowsers from the tailor’s hands, and put them on, and, in order to be cer tain that they fitted well, told the tailor to draw up the blinds. “Why, they fit wonderfully,” friend. “I should think so,’ said the captain; “he has given me my old pair. But where are the others, you stupid ?’ 1 to the Chinese. The friend translated the remark . to the tailor, who gave the other pair a triumph ant look. The captain changed the trowsers. “Well, I must be mad 1’ said the captain. “This new pair seems to be*mine. VV here can the new ones be ? . The friend expressed the captain s doubts to the tailor, who held out the trowsers on which he had just finished operating, “Well, here is the new pair ” friend. .. “No 1 can’t you see they are the old ones ?” replied the captain. “Why, there’s the spot of grease!” “And there’s one on the pair you have as well!” , “What a fool’s wit can this be l The friend turned to the Chinese, ques tioned him, and upon hearing his reply, burst into a shout of laughter. “Well,” said the captain. “Well,” said the friend, “what did you order from the good man ?” “I ordered a pair of trowsers.” “Like your own 1” “Yes like my own.” “Well he has made them so like that you canhot tell the difference—that’s all. But he tells me that his greatest trouble has been to wear therrf out, and spot them in exactly the same place ; and that he must charge fiva francs extra, because he failed with two pair before coming to a sat- isfactory rfs^ £ You must allow that , that’s worth twenty franas.” “Indeed it is,” replied the captain, as he drew a Napoleon from his pocket, and gave it to the Chinese. The Chinese thanked him sincerely, and asked for the captain’s custom as long as he remained in Canton, although, he ad ded, if he always had such difficult work given him there would be nothing gained by it. From that day the captain could never tell one pair of trowsers from the other so much were they alike. He brought them both back to France as specimens of Chi nese industry. The Labor Market in Australia.—Labor is scarce, and is rapidly becoming scarcer, wages are enormously high, and are still on the rise. As regards our chief city, we can safely say that never within our recollection was labor so difficult to procure as it is at the present time; nor do we believe that wages, taking all classes of operatives togetiier, were ever so high. Not only do mechanics command their 8s or 9s per day, and com mon hodmen 7s and 7s Gd, hut even on these terms they are scarcely to be had And, even with remunerations like these the working classes are far from satisfied. There is among them an independence a restless ness, a craving after more, which leaves no doubt that, unless something he done, and done promptly, to redress this evil, it will wax worse and w : orse. We think our gov ernment possesses the means of importing from the United Kingdom as many immi grants as the colony actually requires. Meas ures have already been adopted, since the goldeh era, for importing them to some ex tent—which experience shows them to be necessary.—Sydney Morning Herald of the 1st of May. Production and Consumption of Cotton. We endeavored to show some days ago the importance to the commerce and civili zation of the world of the production of Cot ton by slave labor.. We return to the sub ject to-day for the purpose of giving with more distinctness the statistics upon which our views were founded. As already sta ted, the entire supply of the raw material last year, as nearly as we could ascertain it, was less than 3,450,000 hales—thus: BALES. Crop of the Southern States 3,016,000 “ Pernambuco, Aracali and Ceara, about “ Bahaia and Maceio, about “ Maranham “ “ Demarara, Berbice, &c., about “ West Indies, about “ Egypt “ “ East Indies “ “ All other places, abont -will, in all probability, not be greater than t was the last. It is not anticipated that the supply from foreign production will ex ceed that of last season, say about 450,000 hales. It is probable that the present crop of the Southern States will go beyond 3,000,- 000 bales? If not, and we estimate the sup ply of the raw material from all quarters the same as that of last year, and consump tion should continue at the same rate, it would result as follows? as he said the A Clergyman who is in the habit of preaching in different parls of the coun try, was not long since at an inn, where he observed a horse Jocky trying to take in a simple gentleman, by imposig upon him a broken-winded horse for a sound one. The Parson knew the bad character of the Jockey, and taking the gentleman aside told him to be cautious of the person he „as dealing with. The gentleman finally declined the purchase, and the Jockey, quite nettled, observed—“Parson, I had much rather hear you preach, than see you privately interfere in bargains between man and man, in this way.” “Well, (replied the Parson,) if you had been where you ought to have been last Sunday you might have heard me preach.” “Where was that,’ inquired the Jockey. “In the State Prison,” returned the clergyman. The Two Dutchmen.—Two dutchmen not long since, had occasion to go to a blacksmith’s on business, and finding the smith absent from the shop, they conclu ded to go to the house; having reached the door, said one to the other “come Haunse you ax about de smit.” “Nain, main, (said the other,) but you can tell so better as lean.” “Veil den so I knocks.” The mistress of the house came to the door. Haunse then inquired, “is de smit mitin ?” “Sir,” said the woman. “Is de smit mitin ?” “I cannot understand you,” said the wo man. Haunse then bawled out, “vot de debbil, I say is de smit mitm 3” The other Dutchman, perceiving that the woman could not understand Haunse, stopped up and pushed him aside, and said, “let a man come up what can say something; is de black smit shop in de house ?” said the you to distinguish one pair from Had a Hand in it.—The celebrated Dr. Busby having chastised some of the boys at Westminister school, they resolved to re venge it, which they effected in the follow ing manner : They daubed with dirt the balustrades of the stairs leading to the school, which the doctor, being infirm, al ways laid hold of. He was much incensed at the trick, and on reaching the school of fered a reward of half a crown to any boy that would inform him who had a hand in it. The apprehension of those concerned may be imagiued, when a junior boy rose and said that he would tell, provided the doctor promised not to flog him, which be- ing agreed to, the lad directly exclaimed “You Sir,- had a hand in it.”—He re warded the boy for his wit. . A Ghostly Wish.—I wish I was a ghost, blamed if I don’t said a poor covey, the other night, as he sat soliloquizing in the cold. ‘They goes wherever they please toll free; they don’t owe nobody nothing, and that’s a comfort. Who ever heard tell of a man who had a bill against a ghost ? Nobudv. They never buy hats and vittals, nor liquor, nor has to saw wood nor run ar- rents as I do. Their shirts never gets dir ty, nor their trowsers out at the knees as I ever heard tell on. Ghosts is the only in dependent people I knows on. I railly wish I was one.’ 75.000 40.000 30.000 1,000 7,000 135.000 125.000 24.000 A Scotchman in New Hampshire being sick, waa called upon by a clergyman, who conversed with him upon his religious con cerns. Said the minister, “Do you repent of all your sins? Do you repent of Adam s ?” “Adorn! Adorn!” said the “I never knew the mon !” first sin sick Scotchman, Making the crop of 1852 about To which add stock on hand Jan. 1.1852, viz: Liverpool Havre United States 3,448,000 425.000 23,000 128.000 And we have the total supply of Cot ton for 1852, about 4,024,000 The crop of 1852 as above stated, was dis tributed lor consumption, as nearly as can be ascertained, as follows: U. States Home consumption, 603,000 bales. “ “ Exports to England, 1,688,749 “ « « « “ France, 421,375 “ « « North ofEurope 168,875 *' “ “ “ “ other Foreign ports, 184,647 u Imports from other countries into England, about 375,000 “ Imports from other countries into France, about 25,000 ‘ Consumed at other places, 1,354 “ Bales. Estimated production of Cotton in the world 1 Stock September 1st 1852 3,450,000 771,400 Total supply for 1853 Probable consumption at present rates 4,221,400 3,793,000 428,400 3,448,000 ‘ The increase of the consumption of the raw material both in England and France, as well as in the United States and on the continent of Europe, has been more than commensurate with the increase of produc tion, notwithstanding the appliances of im proved agricultural implements and a more systematic mode of culture. In support of thi3 fact we need only mention, that the stocks of cotton on hand on the 1st Septem ber 2852, in America, England and France (notwithstanding the increased production last year over the previous crop of the South ern States of nearly 660,000) were very lit tle if any, greater than the stocks of the 1st Sept. 1851. This shows that our surplus production has been consumed, and that with this surplus of 660,000 bales in this country, the stock of cotton now on hand would not exceed 150,000 bales. We will illustrate: Stock 1st Sept. 1852 in the U. States, 91,000 hales do do. in England, 617,400 “ do do in France, 63,000 “ Leaving a stock of Thus it appears, that even allowing the supply from all quarters to reach the maxi mum of 4,225,000 bales, at the present rate of consumption there would only be a stock of 428,400 bales left of it at close of the next cotton season, being 340,000 bales less than the stock on hand 1st September last. But two contingencies can arise that would be likely to curtail the consumption of cottou. First, revolutions or warlike demonstrations between any of the leading commercial nations, which would disturb the even tenor of trade. Second, a deficiency of supply to meet the demand, and ihe con sequent advance of the price of the raw ma terial to a point, at which it would be un profitable to manufacture it. . The first of these causes, happily for mankind, does not exist. Should any deficiency of supply oc cur, we think it will tend to enhance the value of the article, and perhaps without materially curtailing consumption, so that if our planters should not make so much, the deficiency of production would be supplied by the advance of priees. If they make less cotton it would nevertheless yield them as much ready money as though they had made full crops.—Sav. Republican. in Total stock on hand 771,400 Deduct increase of last over the ) ggQ qqq previous crop of South \ ’ And it would leave stock of only 111,400 It plainly appears that if there had not been an increased production the last over the previous season, under the present rate of the consumption of cotton, the stock now remaining on hand would be but 1KI,400 bales. The consumption having overtaken the increased production, the enhanced val ue of the article is now firmly based upon the law of “supply and demand.” It is therefore a legitimate conclusion, that if the article is now worth the price at which it is selling in our markets, that price will at least be maintained, even with another crop of 3, 000,000 bales. The average weekly deliveries of cotton for consumption in 1852, are as follows: In the United States, 11,595 hales. In Great Britain, 38,500 “ In France, 8,750 “ To North of Europe Germany &c 10,550 “ To other foreign consumers, 3,550 “ Two men in dispute, reflected upon each other’s veracity. Oue of them said, that he was never whipt but once by his father, and that was for telling the truth. “I be lieve then,” retorted the other, “the truth was whipt out of you, for you have never spoken it since.” Making the weekly consumption 72,945 “ This at fifty-two weeks to the year, would show the consumption of 1852 at 3,793,140 bales. As large as this calculation appears, we think it is based upon reliable data. At least we venture the opinion, that if the present stocks were not replenished by the influx of the new crop, the stocks in the American and European ports on the l9t of January, 1853, would not be over 111,400 bales as stated above. The most ingenious and persevering ef forts to calculate the probable extent of any crop, before it has been brought to market, have only proved the utter futility of such efforts. Even the most experienced plant er, who daily visits his fields, and is cogni zant of all the adventitious circumstances which would tend to increase or dimin ish his crop, can rarely guess within twenty- five per cent of the result before his crop is gathered. How difficult must it be then for merchants to forma correct idea of the probable supply of cotton from the vague and.indefinite and often contradictory and exaggerated reports which reach them, of the damages by rain and the ravages by worms and caterpillars of the crops spread out over the entire cotton region? If our estimates of the weekly deliveries of cotton for consumption be near the truth, and the present rate of consumption is not checked, commerce ly 3,800 raw material the stock re wifi be eons that the demands of crop this year of near- This amount of the be produced, otherwise mg over, from the last crop, ' The supply this year Scarcity of Silver Coinage Europe- There never was known for many years so great a scarcity of the silver currency as at present, in consequence of the very large exportations of silver that have recently ta ken place to Part Philip, Melbourne, Gee long, Sidney, and other ports of our Aus tralian colonies, for the convenience of the adventurers at the “gold diggins.” Not a vessel leaves the port of London, Plymouth, Bristol, Liverpool, &c., -but takes out a considerable amount both of gold and sil ver specie, either by speculators who are proceeding to the above colonies for the purpose of making large purchases of gold from the emigrants now working at the diggings or consigned by capitalists and bullion dealers to their agents at Port Phil ip, <fec., for the same specific purpose. It is with much difficulty that the bankers in the city and west end can obtain silver currency to any amount, either at the Bank of England or the royal Mint, to accom modate their correspondents in the differ ent parts of the United Kingdom with sil ver coinage. At Birmingham, Manches ter, Liverpool, and other large commercial towns, the demandat the various banks for silver is so great that they are unable to supply parties with more than £100 to £200, as not only is a vast quantity being shipped off to Australia and India, but the demand for silver bullion and specie for France, Belgium, Holland, Hamburg, and the continent, are also very extensive. In consequence of the immense call for silver, it appears that the authorities at the mint intend having a considerable amount imme diately coined into specie, and likewise gold currency of half sovereigns and sover eigns for the convenience of the emigrants, who are placed in great difficulties for the want of a small circulating medium in ex change for the gold. The Turpeatiiie business in tieor- g*a. We had the pleasure of an interview with Richard Cogdell, Esq. formerly of North Carolina, but now of^McInlosh county in this State. He has befen engaged for some time, in t he production of turpentine on the Altamaha, ten miles above Darien. The result of his experiment, he says, has con vinced him that the pines ©f Georgia are equal to those of North Carolina in every particular. They will yield as ranch tur pentine, per dip, and as the season is longer, they give an extra dip per year. In North Carolina the turpentine gatherers calculate upon four to five dips in the season, yielding each from 40 to 45 barrels to the hand. In Georgia Mr. Gog dell has had from five to six dips, ranging from 40 to 50 barrels to the hand. The turpentine ii also quite equal in quality. It produces from 6 to 7 gallops of spirits to the barrel, when carefully dis tilled, and the rosin brings as high a price in New York as any other article offered in the market. Mr. Gogdell spoke of the influence of tar and turpentine business in. building »p cities. Only a few years ago, Wilfeyngton, in North Carolina, was but little more-.pros- perous than Darien now is. The turpen tine business gave her the first impulse on ward. Distilleries were established. CapK talists invested their means in them. Wil mington soon became a depot for naval stores—her shipping was increased, and now she has a population of nearly twelve thou sand! Tho town of Washington, North Carolina, had a population ot about five thousand, supported formerly by the same trade. A single mercantile' house there, has been known to purchase eleven hund red barrels of crude turpentine, per day, from carts, which carried from one to four barrels each! What has been done in North Carolina, Mr. Gogdell says, can be done in Georgia. The Carolina pines are comparatively ex hausted. They no longer yield either the quantity or the quality, formerly obtained. Hence the men who have been engaged in the business, are looking to Georgia. Some five or six of them have already purahased lands on the Altamaha, and will commence operations during the coming Autumn.— There will be force enough employed there to produce from 10,000 to 12,000 barrels the next year. At present rates, this would sell at about $60,000. The question now is,—will the people of Georgia embark in the enterprise—will tho merchants of Savannah make the necessary efforts to turn this trade to their seaport— will parties here enter into the business of distilling—so as to create a market at this point? At present the products of this la bour have to be shipped direct to New York, and a considerable portion of the profits and commissions are thus lost to <Sie State. We call especial attention to this matter, and trust that some of our enterprising merchants will give it more mature consid eration. It is true the trade is at present in its infancy. If properly cherished and pur sued, however, there is no reason why it should not, as in Carolina, amount ultimate ly to millions per anum. It may be ex panded into a direct trade with Europe Lo calise freights are as cheap* and often cheap - er hence, to Liverpool than from New York. We intend to resume this subject again. Georgia, in her almost boundless forests of pines, has a mine of gold, richer and more reliable than the placers of California.- We> have heretofore alluded to the lumber busi ness in the same eonnection. YYe have no doubt that persons are now living, who will yet see the pine barrens of our State sell for ten times their present value. They are capable of producing enough n&*al. scores alone, to support a seaport the size of Sa vannah. The Cotton Crop.—We have collected together numerous accouts from the cotton growing region, all corroborating former reports that the caterpillar, the boll worm, rot and rust, have committed immense des truction upon the crop, by which it must be materially lessened, but to what extend may depend the time the first killing frost makes its appearance; unless, as it is said is the case in some sections, the bolls, both green and dry, are all destroyed together, and there should be no chance for any further opening. Should that be the case general ly, of course the crop is already made.— Griffin Jeffersonio'u 30th ult. An attorney who was lame of one leg, was pleading before a judge who had little or no nose. “I am afraid you will make but a lame case of it,” said the judge. “Oh, my lord,” replied the attorney, “have but a little patience, and I’ll prove every thing as plain as the nose on your face.” When young men have nothing to live upon but love, they commonly fall in love and get married just as if hugging and kissing were a substitute for mutton chops, or as if it terms of endearment would supply the place of mashed taters and fricaseed mackerel. “I thought you told me that ’s fever had gone off,” said a gentleman. “I did so,” said his companion, “but forgot to mention that be went off along with it ” ggr Many ladies have two faces; one face to sleep in, and another to show in compa ny; the first is generally reserved for the husband and family at home; the other to put on to please strangers. - @11 - Preparing for a Storm*—A few night* ago, Mr. Bodkin, who- had been out taking king his glass and pipe, on going home late, borrowed an umbrella: and when his wife’s tongue was loosened, he sat up in bed, and suddenly spread out theparaplnice.. “What are you going to do with that thing?” said she. “Why, my dear, I expected a very heavy storm to night, and so I came prepared.” _ In less than two minutes Sirs.

I can’t teil exactly. It may be thirty-one or two, but I am positive it ia not over that.” .
