TRADE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA

TRADE BETWEEN Russia AND CHINA.
"A great trade is carried on every year be-
tween Russia and China, consisting chiefly
on the part of the Chinese, in the barter Of
tea for various kinds ofRussian produce and
manufactured articles. The value of Rus
sian merchandise sent last year to Kiachta,
small frontier trading town, exceeded 20,
100000, rubles-and the quantity of tea
imported amount of $4,000 chests, of which
$4,000 were of the finest sorts, the remain
ing $4,000 being of inferior quality. There
are about thirty different species oftea. OF
the green, which is distinguished from the
others in form and taste, only from 100 to
200 are imported.
A kind of tea is imported by the Russians
which, we believe, has never been introdu-
ced into this country, called tile tea, the leaf
OF which resembles a tile in form, and has
also much solidily. 1t is prepared in quite
different manner from common tea, being
stewed with milk, butter, salt and herbs, and
served up as dish. 1t is accordingly ratfl-
er an article Of food than beverage. The
Russians do not use it themselves, but sell ii
to the Armenians and Tartas, who distri-
butte II TO the Caucasian provinces, and
Eastern Siberia. The Calmucks, kirghe.
ses, and Burats, consume the greater part Of
1t. Besides tea, the Chinese bring other ar
tlcles to kachta the chief of which are satin
Grape, pipes, toys, cakes of ink, and colors
but the value Of these does not amount, alto.

THE PHYSICIAN TO HIS DYING CHILD.

by MISS s. c. EpGARToS.
IT'S bright land, my child
Beauty is smiling in its quiet streams'
Its green savannas too, are softly Wild
And rich as Eden dreams.
The beautiful young flowers
Are Flushing in the wales to WOO thee forth
And there is glory III the noontde hours,
And freshness IN tie earth.
Here are the gay winged birds,
Whom thou hast loved 50 we'll my, gentle boy;
They come around thee wal bling sladsuanc words,
And Hymns OF love ard JOY.
Oh Science have knclt
Long years eiore thee, and have made thy shrine
My dwelling place, till have almost felt
Thy potency divine
And now when l would WOO
Thy gentle aid for more dear than Life,
md that thou art powerless TO subdue
The spoler IN his strife
Vainly I've cucd the leaf
From the wild brooks SIDE, and the woodland slope
To bring him healing naught but scn, glref
Sits IN the place Of hope.
Alas my own d.ai child
The dearcst treasure on this LIES rough sea
How have | worshpped ill my love grew wild
In dazzllng dreams for 'hcc
would 90 dolve the orc,
And bid 1t minister It's healing gift
And every flower should yicldi;s balmy store
Thy dropping form TO lift.
But medicine no wealth
VI lifes rich currents can restore to thee
Dry at their fountains the springs Of health
Beside youth Towering tree
My gentle hearted one,
Look forth once more upon this radiant cline;
Thou art so young thou cans not yet have done
With the loved things of time.
Thy mother sits in tears
BY the lone frcsidc of our northern home,
Nniiing IN solitude and gr,l, and fears,
The hour f r thee 10 come.
Thou!shalt return, my child
ing mothers kiss will meet thy pale cold check;
But sealed will be the lips that would have smiled
She will not hear thee speak.
The music from her heart
VIII die away; the swee, toned chord be nNir,
Which al thy genile touch did once wpart
Strains like some soft voiced lutte.
Veg thou shalt 20, ere long,
To the dear home So loved by thee and me.
Where the wild blue bird pours his Joyous song,
Upon the old elm tree.
Go-but with pulsclcss breast,
With palid cheek, and glazed and sunken eyc
Yes, thou shalt 20 in the home tpnb to rest,
Where J. too, soon shall lie
God calls thee hence, nv son,
And thou shalt go in his bright place to dwell
must not murme,-may his will e done
Beloved chld, farewell.

HE PRODUCT OF LABOR is THE ONLY RE-
AL neutrality-suspicious. is the foundation
of wealth. The sea renders her tribute but
the earth presents to skill and industry rich
er and infinitely varied contributions. Mo-
ney is not wealth. 1t is only tho reprcsen-
tative of wealth. Money is coveted because
il can command labor; but of what use would
1t be, if labor would not be commanded
What would it avail to possess all the riches

manufactures concerned in but these prod.

eminent derive its revenues but from the
fruits of agriculture What constitutes The
wealth Of the country but her cotton, hemp,
sugar, rice, tobacco, wool, wheat, beef, and
pork. Agriculture only can be considered
as the creator of wealth. The merchant, the
manufacturer, the sailor, the various artizans
and tradesmen perform their part in making
the products Of agriculture more valuable :; in
transporting them so that the advantages of
climate are equalized, and in putting them
in condition for use but agriculture alone
produces. Like the leader of Israel, she
strikes the rock, the waters flow, and FAM

she feeds, she quickens all. Agriculture is
the commanding interest of secular nature

two years ago an extra crop.


Two years ago purchased a grass farm
some twenty miles from me, whose altitude
is as high as the base of Monadnock at Dublin
Westinghouse. In the cultivation of it |
did not cause any plaster TO be used except
half busheI which was put on potatoes /;
and the effect could be seen half mile it
was greater than ever saw IN the meadow
at home. This year have used it freely
on the potatoeSand spring seeding and where
it was not scattered on the this spring sown
clover, it is nofseeded and will be failure,
while where it was, it is ankle high. This
land is a mellow soil, producing maple,
beech and bircli-it is what shall call a
sandy loan. Now as | have hold of two
extremes, in my belief plaster must work
well on similar soils in the middle attitude.
This farm has its usual quantity of old worn
out moving which did not cut from five to
seven hundred of hay per acre; and there
is much of this kind of land in our country.
Now sir, have faith that shall make those
poor acres produce their thirty hundred OF
hay, and be able to maintain that state so
long as pursue the rotation system. III
am not deceived by different soil, my sue
cess will be certain. have one other diff
Guilty to encounter in the distance, and the
farm is occupied by tenant; these arc draw
backs; but diligence and perseverance will
overcome all things.

We were boys together,
And never can forget
The school house near the heather,
In childhood where we met:
Nor the green home, 10 memory dear,
It's sorrows and its Joys,
Which called the transient smile or tear
When You and lwerc boys.
VIC were youths together,
And castles built in air;
Your heart was like feather,
While mine was dash'd with care.
To you came wealth with manhoois prime,
To me it brought alloys
Ne'er imagined in the primrose time
When you and were boys
We're old men together;
The friends We loved Of wore,
With leaves oiautumn weather
Arc gone for cyermore.
How blessed to age the impulse given
The hope time nee destroys
Which led our thoughts from earth to heaven
When you and werehoys.

his wealth. Most certainly, we should be
the last TO deprive him of it. He has nat

MORBID THIRST FOR ARDENT Sp,RIr.-
1t is well known that water does not instantly
allay the morbid thirst which prompts the
drunkard to drink intoxicating draughts. l,
is only ny long course of moral training
that the disposition to renew those madden
ing polatlons which plunge the inebrate into
an abyss OF misery, can be eneclually over
come. An intmation is given, in highly
respectable publication, that simple swal-
low of milk may assuage this stomacll-burn-
ing ofthe drunkard. If such is the fact, the
remedy $50 very simple, and so completely
too, within the reach of the poorest outcast
of humanity. that those who sympathze
with the wretched victims of the vice OF
drunkenness, and who have opportunity,
cannot do less than institute a series of ex-
perlments with viewto ascertaining whether
there is any confidence to be placed IN this
proposed remcdy.-BostOn Ned. and Surg.
