Tbe New Lore and tbe Old. There, speak In whispers; fold roe to thy heart. Dear love, for I have roamed a weary, weary "way; - -Bid my vague terrors with thy kiss depart! O, I have been among the dead to day. And, like a pilgrim to some martyr's shrine. Awed with the memories that crowd my brain. Fearing my voice. I woo tbe charm of thine ; Tell me thou lovest, lovest yet again. Not among graves, but letters, old and dim, Yellow and nredous. have I touched the past. Reverent and prayerful as we ehanr tbe hymn Among tne aiaies wnere sauus weir a miaows east: Reading dear names on faded leaves that here . Were worn with foldings tremulous and fond. These drowned In plashing of a tender tear. Or wltn death's tremble pointing 'the beyond." And, love, there eame a flutter ot white wings, a. stir of snowy robes from out tbe otep. Of utter silence, as I read the things I smiled to trace before I learned to weep; And bands, whose clasp was magic long ago. uune sort beiore me. till i reamed to wss. Mad kisses on tneir wniieness; men me woe. Tbe sting of death, the chill of nothingness! One waa afar, where golden sands made dim Tbe shining steps ot the poor trxkatf-r. rime; And one was lost Ah ! bitter grief tor h m ' Who wreeked his mnnhood li the' d ptbs of crime! . 5 Another, beautiful as raernings beam Flushing the Orient, lay meekly down Among the daisies, dreaming love's glad dream; And one sweet saint now wears a starry crown. And thus there stole delicious odors st'H From out those relics of the charmed past, tight from the ttpj omnipotent to will and win rich tribute to the very last; But death, or change, had been among my flowers, And all tneir Dioom naa raaea, so ieai i Yield my sad thoughts to the compelling i owers Of the bright soul I worship till I die. Nay, never doubt me. for, by love's divine And fearful past, I know my future thine. rONDOK LIQUORS. We offer at a great reduction our stock of Silk & LisIeThreadGloves &Silk Mitts.

But the liquors consumed in London by the. lower classes are probably the most execrable and vile that the inge nuity of the haters of mankind have ever invented. The brandy they drink is liquid lightning chain lightning which goes crashing through the sys tem, breaking down and destroying every pulsation towards anything good. The gin well, their gin is the very acme, the absolute summit of vileness. There is a quarrel in every gill of it; a wife-beating m every pint, ana a mur der in every quart. A smell of a glass of it nearly drtive nu- to criminal reck lessnesf.' . And vet thev all drink it, and esue- cially the women. The most disgusting sight the wnrm y promise isr a 1jOi don gin diirkiij's woman standing at a bHrwaithig f' tvnelily ffr hr "dram," with iiiikniniil tiair. a small hut in tensely dirt hawl, with stockingless feet, and shoes down at the heel, with eyp5 rheuru and Witiery, that twinkle with gin light on: troni tiie noscunty- of gin swelled nVsh, With a face on which the scorching lingers o aflenrav- ed appetite have set red-lines, as inef faceable as though they, had been plac ed there by red hot iron, every one of which is the unavailing protest ot a long outraged stomach. There she stanos, a blotch upon the . tace ot na ture and a satire upon womanhood. It is difficult to realize that this bloated mass .was once a fair young girl and had a mother who loved her, and it is equally difficult to comprehend , how any power, even that of nature, could ever make use oi it. uut tne elements are kindly to man.

It does not stand at the bars in the best streets to offend the eyes of decent people. But it is everywhere here. It is in Strand and on Piccadilly and Re gent streets. The average .englishman of the i lower and even the middle classes dearly love to booze. Drunken ness is not the result either ot convivi ality or desperation, as it is in other countries. It is the one thing longed for and set deliberately about. And while I am about it I may say that al coholization is not confined tb the low er order by any means. Everybody drinks. The tradesman who can af ford it has claret at his table, and dur ing the -day his drains" of brandy are verY freauent.

Wilmington Star. The development and growth of the cotton interest in North Carolina is not to be overlooked. A little while ago- only a few years the crop was but lit- A 1 T d AAA t -1 T 4 AHA i tie more tnan iuo,uuu oaies. in ism it had grown to 389,576. The probability is the crop of 1880 exceeded this and more than 400,000 bales were produced. With the increase ot the cotton qrop there is an increase of cotton factories. But the increase of the latter is not by a long way in proportion to the increase- ox tne iormer. c ougut 10 ue. xvery report from the factories South of us is encouraging: some cu me reports are astonishingly encouraging. iiut the strangest thing to us about the cuttoo, crop in our State is the dis tribution of productiveness. There are counties like Cumberland, Montgom ery, Bladen, Onslow and Brunswick that ought to produce much more cot ton than they do. You find counties like Wake, Johnston, Mecklenburg, even Cleveland and Gaston, growing a great deal mote of cotton than you would have thought, whilst itanaoipn, Rockingham, Forsyth, and other coun ties produce but few bales. The statis tics show tha nearly al the counties produce the great ataplev a&4 that most of the counties w capable of doing a great deal more if the demand and price shovyd authorize it. we can see no reason for not expecting the crop of North Carolina to reach some time in the future 700,000 bales. This will de pend on stimulating prices to some ex tent. We must believe that planters will not continue to raise cotton at an actual loss. W,e have given our views at length on the necessity an.d wisdom of a variety of crops ana we pee$ hot say anything futfW bow, Supposing that the cotton, interest of, the .State contiinwea to grow during , the next de cade as it has during tne last aecaoe, and there is good reason to expect the croD to eaual 650. 000 or 700,000 by 1890. At any rate the State is capable of pro ducing that amount. Pearl Shell from Paris.
