The price of corn for the fiscal wear

! The price of corn for the fiscal wear
varying from 81 ,25 to So Cents per bushel
the average being 80 cents, the amount
in bushels may be put down 100000
leaving as the surplus of 1S47 which re-
NAMED in the country 100 100000 BUSH
els. The price of wheat varied from
$3.50 to $1.00 per bushel-the average
may be put down at, at least 81 so which
would show the export of wheat to be
9,607 ,52l bushels, leaving a surplus of
over 100000; left in the country to
rot for want OF consumers.
If the Commissioner of Patents is COR
rect IN his estimate and ] also am correct
as to the amount exported, does it not
show most conclusiveIy that we must have
some other mode of disposing of our sur
plus products than than that of depending
upon exporting TO foreign countries.
1t was an estimate and published in the
Patent Office Report, that the failure of
the potato crop in England and Ireland
amounted 33,ooo,ooo sterling, equal to
nearly Sl50,O00,0 worth of brcadstuns,
and with all that loss, they took from us
IN 1877, only about $l0,O00,0OO
worth, the balance being supplied from
the continent.

ANNEXATION IN CANADA.-NVe are tolt

ANNEXATION IN CANADA.-NVe are told
by the Telegraph, that the inhabitants OF
Montreal; friendly to the annexation OF
Canada TO the United States, have issued
protest against Earl Grey's late dis
patch to Lord Elgln. They do not con-
ceive the sentiments OF Earl Grey to be
those OF the people Of England, and
think that even the Parliament OF Eng
land cannot pronounce, until the subject
is submitted, in regular course by the
people OF Canada-Free discussion is the
right OF all mcn and the safeguard against
despotism and rebellion. They ask the
people to decide whether the dispatch is
in accordance with the constitutions, and
whether Grey's opinion should affect
the right to bring any subject before the
legislature of the country. They will
not be diverted from legal course, and
are thus defending the greatest bulwark
OF the country's liberties.

THE ELEPHANT AND THE CAMEL.-Ele-
plants have the bltterest enml!y to cam
els. When the camel scents the elephant
it stops still, trembles in all its limbs and
utters an uninterrupted cry OF terror and
alright. No persuasion, no blows can
induce it to rise: it moves its head back
wards and forwards, and its whole frame
is shaken with mortal anguish. The ell
ephant on tn e contrary, as soon as he
perceives the camel, elevates his trunk,
stamps with his feet, and with his trunk
thrown backwards, snorting with noise
like The sound of trumpet, he rushes to-
ward the camel, which, with its neck
outstretched, and utterly defenceless,
awaits, with the most patient resignation
the approach OF It's enemy. The ele-
plant, with its enormous shapeless limbs
tramples on the unfortunate animal IN
such manner that in few minutes it
is scattered around in small fragments.

LIE lRssENT AND THE FuTuEE.-Ws
'n.nk very little Of the pres mt; we antici-
pate the future, as being tho slow. and
win view to hasten it onward; We recall
t the past, to stay 1t as too swiftly gone.
we are SO thoughtless, that we wander
through the time which is not ours. and
'hink not OF that which alone belongs to
US; SO vain, that we dream of the Time
which is not, and suffer that alone which
exists to escape us without thought. This
Is because the present generally gives us
pam we hide 1t from our sight because it
alllic's us; and even il it gives us pleasure.
we gr'eve to see it flying; and hence we
strive to sustain it by the future, and think
to arrange things which are not in our
power: against a time TO which we can
nave no assurance that we shall ever ar
live.
Let any man examine his thoughts, and
he Will find them ever occupied with the
past or the future. We scarcely think at
all Vt the present; CT if we do, it is oulv to
borrow the light which it gives for rrgu-
lating the future. The present is never
our object; the past and the present we
use as means; the future only is our end.
mus, we never live, we only hope to live:
ana ever preparing 10 be happy, it is GER
tain that we never shall be SO, If we seek
no no other happiness than that which this
lie can yield.

bleaching ground, where poor woman
was at work watering her webs Of linen

the last sermon. "And what good can the

NO man who has natural use Of his fac
u!tles and his muscles has any right to tax
others with the cost of his support, as the
class OF non-fnancial gentlemen habitualy
do. 1t Is their common mistake to fancy
that If debt Is only paid at last the obi
CATION OF the debtor Is fulfilled, but the
TACT Is not 50. A man who sells property
for another's promise TO pay next week or
next month, and is compelled to wear out
a par OF boots in running after his due,
which he finally gets in year or two, is
never really paid. Very often, he has
lost halt the face OF his demand by not
having the money when he needed it, be-
sides the cost and vexatlon of running af
ter it. Their Is Just one way to pay an
obligation in full, and that is to pav it
when due. He who keeps I'D a running
fight with bills and loans through life, is
continually living on other mems means,
is serious burden and detriment to those
who deal with him, although his estate
should pay every dollar of his legal obi
cations.
lnordlnate expenditure is the cause of a
great share Of the crime and consequent
misery which devastate the world. The
ERIK who spends more than he earns is
fast qualifying himself Tor a gambler and
a thlel; the trader Or mechanic who over
runs his income IS very certain 10 become
a trickster and cheat. Whenever You see
a man spending faster than he earns, there
look out Tor yiIIalny to be developed,
though it be the iarlhcst thing possible
from his present thought.
When the world shall have become
wiser and It's standard OF morality more
lofty, it will perceive and affirm that pro-
fuse expenditure, even hy one who can
pecunariIy afford it, is pernicious and I'M
juslshable-that man, however wealthy,
has no right 10 lavish on his own appe-
titcs, his tastes or his ostentation that
which might have raised hundreds from
drstt0'on and despair to comfort and Use
iulncSs. But that is an Improvement in
public sentiment which must be waited
for, while the other is more ready and OBJ
vious.
The meanness, the dishonesty, the in
dignity OF squandering thousands unearn-
ed, and keeping others out of money that
is Justly theirs, have rarely been urged
and enforced as they should be. They
need but be considered and understood to
be universally loathod and dctcsted,

From yNashin gton-Teleg

Before anything astonishing comes upon the
summer carpets at Washington, there to be
great many more speeches. Meanwhile, the COM
promise of Mr.. Clay, the Cuba question, and the
payment of the Galphin claim, will serve to use
up the public time and money. On the compro-
mise, we find that, last night, all the Virginia
delegates We're in close session, whether for seces-
sion, or concession, remains TO be seen. With
respect to Cuba, the Senate appears to be at sea,
not having received the manifests from the con-
signers in the cabinet The Galphin cabinet is to
have an expedition sent against it, by the New
York delegation, to awake the indignation that has
slumbered for several days. The wings, too, pro-
mise TO be faithful to the country in this business.
Well, we may soon see whether honesty or the
cabinet shall triumph. In the interim, we will
live in hope that, with the branches of mint des-
branch mint, that can only be supplied by the hot
bed at Washington. This is great country, and
if any one donbts it, let him read the sketch of the
debate in the House, on increasing the rank and
file of the army for the protection of the frontiers.
The difference of opinion on that subject is as
remarkable as that upon Mr.. Clay's compromise in
the Senate. In what will il end

LISE.-sWe give elsewhere in our columns a full

Atlantic steamer, the pioneer Of Collins's line

much more ineligible view Of the first perform
ance Of this steamer than the account so confusedy
conveyed by the telegraph from Halifax. In fact,
We now fully satisfied, in spite of the little ac
cident which extended the voyage to thirteen
days, that the Atlantic has exhibited power and
capacity which will enable her TO beat any steam
ship which has hitherto crossed the ferry between
New York and Liverpool. Whatever John Bull
may say or DO we are perfectly satisfied with this

fullest extent all the expectations Of the propreors

CRY TAx.rIoS.-The assessment rolls, under
the new law, have been completed by the asses
sors Of the several wards in the city; and IL any in
justice has been done, the only way TO remedy the
evil is to srply TO the Tax Commissioners. and
that. too, within thirty days. Take heed, there
FORE all you who wish to pay only your fair share
II fair share il can be called, when there are so
many who get off scot free, by conccaling their
property by locking up their wealth out Of the sight
Of the law and skulking from the payment Of their
proportion Of the public debt. Probably four mill
lions Of dollars will be expended during the cur
rent year: and the people have TO foot the bills.
Therefore, when a city is so monstrousy taxed,
every man should feel himself personally interested
in doing all in his power to make the taxes proper
tionaiely equal. Assessors are true Yankees, and
guess very well: but they make sad mistakes Let
the people look into the matter, and Judge for
themselves. Conscience is a commodity much re-
qured under the new law. Try and use little of
it. If the assessors put you down for too much.
cut them down. they give you credit for too lit
tie. post them up.
