deem it important TO your interests

Wheat-tlle great staple Of the States OF
Illinois, Missouri. Iowa and Wisconsin,;
and the undersigned designs, in the
prosecution Of his business, to furnish
this data as far as lays in lis rowcr-to-
ge'her with estimates and opinions OF
this st. Louis) and other grain markets,
in the shape Of a monthly Circuldr.-
Opinions and estimates will be my own,
the data, however, on which | ground
opinions and arrive at conclusions, will
be drawn from official sources, together
with the letters Of my correspondents.
In a monetary point Of view, the Wheat
crop Of the United States is secondary
i'll importance only to Cotton-the great
staple Of cur country; and as necessary
food for lis sustance of man, we are ac-
customed to look 10 lis yield with intense
interest, from the time it begins to ripen
in The field, till ii is stacked in the ward,
or stored in the barn Of the husband
man.
Providence has usually favored our
country with plentiful harvests-this
year with n of superabundance, Let
us examine its effects in a monetary
point of view.
The Wheat crop of the United States
in the year 1899, was by the Marshall's
eighty four millions eight hundred
and fwen'y three thousand bushels. / esti-
mate the crop of the present year to ex-
coed that of 1889 by 30 per cent, or
n third-giving an aggregate
production in 1912 of one hundred and
ten millions and frenty SIR thousand bush
els! This great increase (for l estimate
it at 20 per cent over last years produc-
tion) is readily accounted for from two
prominent causes First Wheat in 1871
paid The Farmer better than any other
Of the s~oil,-hence, large
and secondly, the extraordinary

RELIaIoN.-What is Religion Not that which,
meteor Xix q, shines for briefperod and then fades
and disappears. Nor who talks most-prays long
est-sighs deepest-shouts loudest-and reproves
with the greatest severity Not that which con
reject the widows petition-the orphans cry. Not
that which deceves in bargain-deals closely with
the poor-withholds the just requital of labor
breeds ealousies-alinates Observation-Disclosures en-.
emies-betrays confdence-promotes sectarian
strife and renders evil for evil
Pure religion and undefled before God and the
father, is this; to visit the fatheress and the wild
ows in their affection, and keep ourselves always
unspotted from the world. Pure religion is vital
principle fountain of living water sprnging up
in the soul, and cleansing it from the pollution of
sin.
A radiance shining into the keart giving 1t new
life, new principles of action, and modes OF
action-givng higher aims, brighter hopes, and
eweeter joys. Pure religion teaches us to love our
enemies, to pray for them and in all things render
good for evil. 1t requires TO act on principles
fperfect jvstice. In all things whatsoever we
would that should do to us, teaches us, to do
80 to them. To do justly, love mercy and walk
humbly before God.-Fragments Of Time.

No one needs to be told, that the surest method
to obtain favors from earthly benefactor. is
TO be thankful for those which he has already be-
slowed. 1t is the same with respect to our heaven
ly Benefactor. Praise and thanksgiving are even
more prevalent than sacrifices prayers. have
somewhere mef with an account ola Christian
who was shipwrecked upon adesolate island while
all his companions persisted in The waves. In this
situation, he spent many days fasting and prayer
that God would open way for his electromagnetic
his prayers received answer. At length, mu-
sing on the goodness OF God, in preserving him
from the dangers of the sea, he resolved to spend
day in thanksgiving and praise, for this and other
favors. Before the conclusion of the day, vessel
arrived, and restored him in safety to his country
and friends. Another instance, equally in point,
we find in the history of Solomon. AT the dedica
ton of the temple, many prayers were made, and
many sacrifices offered, without any token of the
divine acceptance. But when singers and play ers
on instruments began as one to make one sound to
be heard, in praising and thanking thelord, saying,
For he is good, for his mercy endureth forever,
then the glory of the Lord descended and filld the
temple. The reason why praise and thanksgiving
are thus prevalent with God, is, that they, above
all other duties, glorify Him. Whose ofereth
praise, says he, glorifeth me; and those who thus
honor him, he will honor.-Payson

THE DEATH OF WARREN.
nY EPEs SARGENT.

n, tho dav of the memorable engagement at
R,nker Hill, General Joseph Warren, then N
The nrime OF life, joined the American ranks as a
volunteer "Tell me where can be useiui' sa'd
he addressing General Putnam. 600 to the re
doubt" was the reply, "you will there be cover
ed" "I came not to be covered, returned war
rem, "tell me where shall be in most danger; tell
ype where the action will be hottest" AT The
mating of the Committee OF Safety previous to
the battle his friends earnestly strove to dIssuade
him from exposing his person, 81 know there IS
danger said Warren, ''but who does not think II
sweet TO die for his country" When Colonel Pres
colt gave the order to retreat, Warren desperate
courage forbade him 10 obey. He fingered the last
In the redoubt and was slowly and reluctantly re
treating when British officer called out to MN 10
surrender Warren proudly turned his face to the
foe. received fatal shot in the forehead, and fell
dead in the trenches.
When the war-cry of Liberty rang through the
land
To arms sprang our fathers the foe to withstand,
On old Bunker Hill their entertainments they rear,
When the army is joined by young volunteer.
"Tempt not DEATH" cried his friends; but he bade
them good bye,
Saving, go! it is sweet for our country TO die!'
The tempest OF battle now RACES ana sweils
Mid tho thunder of cannon, the pealing of bells;
And light not of battle, ilumes yonder spire--
Scene of woe and destruction! it's Charestown on
fire!
The young volunteer heedeth not the sad cry,
But murmurs, "'tis sweet for country to de!'
With trumpes and banners the foe draweth near;
A voley of musketry checks their career!
With the dead and the dying the hillside Is strown,
And the shout thr ough lines is, the day is our
own
"Not yet, cries the young volunteer, edo they
fly
Stand firm It's sweet for our country to die!''
Now our powder is spent-and they rally again.
"Retreat," says our chief, "snce unarmed re-
main!'
But the young volunteer fingers yet on the field,
Reluctant to fly, and dsdaining to yield
A shot! All! he falls! but his life's latest sigh
10, "'tis sweet, o. it's sweet for our country to
die!'
And thus Warren fell! happy death! noble fall!
To perish for country at Liborty's call!
Should the flag oil invasion proGane evermore
The blue of our or the green of our shore,
May the hearts of our people re-echo that cry,
''Tis sweet, o. It's sweet for our country to die'
