New York, June 10 Tho Orangemen ijavo decided not to parade In thin ehy. but o honor King William, of glorious and pl ous memory, by a grand excursion and pir ate July 12ch. A Brooklyn evening piper, much ulven to .sensation, says it it under-tood that new Hiid important evidence hearing directly upon Hue issue la the great tfii has been unearth ed.

The only wool for which a good range or prices can be looked for, are desirable lotf. of medium fleeces, and oomb ing and delaine fleeces; but it is questionable if prieet demanded for these grades are not also blghor than will be sustained. Sales of Ohio and Pennsylvania fleeces have been at S054 cents, according to quality; Wisconsin jnd Michigan fleeces, 4So0 cents, as to -iiallty. New Kentucky combing is held at j&) cents, but buyers pay this price reluctantly in super and ex-pulled. The sales have boen SJaati cents.

There are hearts that never falter, In the battle of the right; There are ranks that never alter Watching through the darkest night, And the Hgny or sharing In the fiercest of the atrlfo, Only givesltho noble daring, Only makes the grander lire. There are those who never weary, Bearing suffering aud wrong, Though the way Is long and dreary, It Is vocal with song; While their spirits in God's furnace, Heullnv( to his giaclous will, A-e fashioned In a purer mould, By His loving, initchloss skill. There are lho"n whose living mission Is to bind the bleeding heart; And to teach the i-alin submission. Where the pain and sorrow smart ; They Bre Biiitels, hearing to ub, Love'a rich ministry of peace; While the night U Hearing to us Aud life's bitter trials cease.
