THE BROKEN CRUTCH.

One hot day in the month Of June, poor sun.
burnt sailor, with but one leg, was going along
The road, when his crutch broke 10 halves and he
vas forced TO crawl on his hands and knees 10 the
eide OF the road, and sit down TO wait till some
coach or cart came by whose driver he could usk
TO take him up. The first that passed that wny
was stage-coach but the man who drove it was
surly fellow and he would not help the sailor. as
lie though: he should not be paid for il. Soon
AFTER this the tired sailor fell asleep upon the
ground, and though thick shower of rain came
on, yet still he slept; for sailors, when on board
their ships. have TO bear all sorts of weather !;
when the wind blows, the waves of tho sea often
dash over the deck Of the vessel, and wet the poor
men TO the SKIN, while they arc pulling at the
ropes and shifting the sails.
When the lame sailor awoke, he found a bows
coat and wuiscout laid on his head and shoulders
TO keep him from being we, and tho boy sat by.
IN HE shirt, trying TO mend the broken crutch, with
two pieces Of wood and some strong twine.-
"My good lad" said the sailor, "why did you pull
oil your own clothes to keep me from being we, 4"
90" snid he, 81 do not mind he rain but thought
The large drops OF rain that fell upon your face
would awake you, md you,must be sadly tired TO
sleep go sound on the ground. See ! have al-
most mended your cruch, found broken and if
you can lean on me, and cross yonder field TO
my uncle's farmhouse, am sure he will ge, you
new crutch. Pray do try to go there. I wish
was tall enough to carry you on my back"
The sailor looked ut him with tears in his ewes.
ana SAID, "When went to sea, five years ago
lett boy behind me, if should now find him such
good follow as you seem to be, ! shall be hnppy
as the day is long, though have lost my leg. and
must go on crutches all the days of my lEe."
What was your sons name 7" the boy asked.
tom White, said the sailor, "and my name is
John White"
When the hoy heard these names, he jumped up
threw his arms round the sailors neck, and said.
"My dear dear father, am Tom White, your own
little boy"
How great was the sailors joy, thus to meet
his own child and find Kim so kind 10 those who
wanted help!
Tom had been taken care of by his uncle, while
his father was at sea, and the sun-burnt, lame sn
Tor found happy home in the farmhouse Of his
brother ; and though he had now new crutch, he
kept the old one as long as he lived, and showed
it to oil the strangers who came to the farm us a
proof of the kind heart of his dear son Tom.

THE WOODEN TRADE,

Wool, since the time of Adam, has Seen an int
portant material upon which the skill ard capital
of almost every nation have been employed. In
this country the trade and manufacture of the ar
ticle is increasing in importance every year. There
are now in the United States upwards Of fifteen
millions Of sheep, which gives us annual produc-
ton Of forty five million pounds Of the material.
Our manufacturers have increased in the same
pace with the augmentation in the growth Of wool,
and the least change effects one or both. The
great improvements that are making here in mo
chinery, acts to certain extent as bounty on the
production of the raw material. The farmers are
paying more attention to their focks and in the
shearing, which they will find will be of infinite
benefit to them ultimately if not Immediately
The various mills in the States will, in lime, do
tremendous business and keep employed vast
number Of operatives. The flannel mills at Ames-
bury annually turn out twenty thousand pieces, and
daily consume four thousand pounds Of WOOL The
mills OF that place and Salisbury make more of
this description Of wooens than those of any other
place, and they combined. nearly supply the home
consumption Of domestic lannes, which lie estm.
ated 10 be one hundred thousand pieces. The Nor
wich Manufacturing Company make two thousand
yards daily, when running full time, and so it is
all over the country. AS near as we can learn,
there are 2.9lS, 900 yards of fulled, and 3,46S,-
WV ya'oS VI otner descriptions OI wooden cloths
annually manufactured in this state and from re-
port made short time since to the Pennsylvania
Legislature, we find that S45 10000 are nves-
ted in the manufacture, and $145, 10000 in the
growth of wool and its manufacture combined in
the whole country.
These facts show at once our standing and inn
portance in the woollen trade. We will now give
table which will exhib: the import and export
INTO and from the United States in 1887. The
exports are Of foreign manufacture, our own goods
being all consumed at home. But in that wear we
shipped abroad 3460 sheep valued at $16,s52.-
We imported 10 the same time 9,4S0, 1876 pounds
OF wool, worth no: exceeding eight cents pound.
The coarse article is thrown into satnetts and car
petings, and comes from Mogodore and that vicin-
ity. The Mexican wool we receive is worth from
nine to twenty cents. But to the imports and exc
ports in '37.

as compared with 1886, But that year is no critic.
non, for speculation then run wild. Although the
loss sustained was large, yet it has had no effect
whatever upon the production this year. Shear.

probable crop can be easily estimated. We have
eohvefsed with several gentlemen who have re-
eeh'y returned from tours through the several
wool districts. and have seen many letters from
farmers and others in the interior. As near ne
we can learn, there will be an increase in the
CROWN oil one TO two million pounds. In some
parts OF the country the producers have been un-
