i)on’t forget me when you’re happy*
. Keep for me one little spot j
in the depth of thy affection
t’laiit bile sweet forget hie-not,
That will i)loom in pleasure's moments
Like sweet incense in the heart;
Sweetly then I'd be remembered
ililie the starligot's tiny sparks.
m boil’s forget me when you’re happy;
( btiier smiles mav be more dear;
Iljjy Though the sunlight is far greater,
Stars may shine with radilfifi# clear,
\ .Hi lifU thi(jnight. when the heavens
Otherwise were clad in gloom,

Hvfcf tliere is welcome room.
Don’t ffitgkt me when yoii're hnppy;
Likk the little golden thread,
Silently beneath tub heaft-strings
I would move with geutie tread.
And ir moments when you’re joyous
Would I touch one tender note
That would thrill thy soul with music
Howe’er near, howe’er remote.
Don't forget me when you’re happy,
’Mid the scenes of joy and mirth;
Let one thought of me give pleasure
And to happiilcfr* givi* birth.
Don't forget me when you’re happy,
fc.eep for me one little sjiot;
In the depth of thy affection

Lboft After Your Hogs.
Planters this Section of the country
would do well to Dial*} exertions to raise a
meat crop, during the present year, if the
following from a pork backiug firm in Si.
Louis &ftf be relied on:
Evidence daily accumulates; going to
show that the present year the South will
demand and consume double the quantity
of provisions tlidi she did last year* I"
view of this fact, what is the condition of
the trade in the hog product of lhe West at
at this time ? The South is consuming meat
of tin* new crop, while the old stock was
consumed long before new cured could be
got forward This is unusual! for the season,
and is of great importance. In the face of
this fact we have the evidence that there is
at least an even chance for a small crop of
hogs to give ns the meat for the coming
wants. Could we come up to hist year’s
crop we should then be deficit#*, for that
only met the necessities, wicli were cramped
by tire tack of means' to pdy. Now; with
increased facilities for payment, and a con
sumption so f;ir of the new crop astonishing
and unusual, and yet legitimate, as we have
before this remarked, the ‘hog product’ is
to be snort tins year in any event that can
now occur, Some writers arc discantiiYg up
on the fact llrut the present high prices are
checking the exportations. To oifr niind
this is of l‘ittie concern; for, lroin present
appearances, West Wist lidve no provis
ions to'send out of the country* fho home
cd’nsumpticn will be as much as we ia i
meet , s aud nYay not be able to eveu do
that; if the hogs do not come forward in
larget s'Upfdy than 1 they ha'vu th'u’st laV, an
that a majority predict that they tv N' i. Re
lative to high prices; wcjstate,* without fear
of doMScthn, that he who buys hogs at
gr6'ss, alnd {fells the product at the pre
s'ent iha'rkdt Yates- loses money on every hog
slaughtered. One thing is palpable, either
hogs must come down in price or the pro
duct must go higher thA'A' vny price we
have yet seen. It is estimated that at the
prc&rit time the stock of lard is only
about half, and that of pork only about
one-quarter of the stock of last year at Chi
cago, and' othej points also sbbrt.
Vfttert iW all this trash about reducing- the
armyf Away with it. ioes this look like a
reduction? $300,000 for recruiting this
year to SIOO,OOO on the same account last;
$500,000 for clothing comm nation this year
to $290,000 last ; $5500,000 for horses and
• nifilfes to last year’s $5,000,000 ; in excess;
arid finally, $43,195,500 total, called for this
year against $33,0^2^093^^81 —u*ri inciease
of $10,113,407. Reduction, indeed ! Why,
here are ten millions' increase at thfe first
blush,'and* rfbfibdy Klio’Ws' hbw rHkny more
millions toconifei like thieves in the niglK in
the shape of deficiency hills, “to eorrdct an
