The we.lelsuu.


The sun rose clear and bright, one fine
winter morning, in the city of E. The fam
lily of @. were very busy preparing for a
wedding; the only daughter was to be
given in marriage to ayouth of the above
city.
Hearts beat quickly and strongly on that
cloudlcss day, and one heart throbbed ex-
nltantly as she thought of that Object of
her pure affection for whom she felt willing
TO live or die.
When two hearts meet in affection sweet,
and the purest sentiments Of love blend,
then is there happiness felt, only to be
described in thought by those who have ex.
periencsd it in its fullness of bliss.
Brilliantly glanced the lights in those
spacious halls, as the gay company moved
in the dance, while music sweet filled the
odorous air. There was much feminine com.
petition in pretty looks, sweet smiles, and
artless arts of attracting admiration. The
gentlemen taxed their brains for compli.
ments, and watched their effects upon the
fair persons whom they most desired tc
please.
My sketch is short, gentle reader, but il

Size Of the Ark.

Skeptics have objected to the size oil
the Ark. and have asserted that it is
quite absurd that there ever could be a
vessel constructed large enough to hold
all the creatures that mus, huve been
placed in it, together with sufficient
lood--(it may be six or twelve months)
water for the fishes corn for the four.
footed animals, seed for the birds, and
SO on. Now we will take the dimen-
sions of the Ark from the record of Mo-
ses, and calculate them on the loves,
possible scale.
There are two definitions given of a
cubit one that is lS inches, or a foot
and half--the other thati is l foot
and inches. We will take it only at
the lowest. Moses states that the Ark
was 800 cubits long; this would make
il 420 feet long, or about the length OF
st. PauPs Cathedral, London. The
breadth of it he states to be about so
cubits we then have it IS feet in
breadth. He states il to be 80 cubits
high; SO that it was As feet in height.
In other words, it was as long as ST..
raul's Cathedral, nearly as broad, and
half as high. The tonnage of The Ark,
according TO the calculation Of modern
carpenters, must have been $4,000 tons.
The largest English ship OF war, the
st. Vincent, for instance. which is a
size altogether unimaginable to those
who have never seen it's 2,500 tons
burthen; so that the Ark must have been
equal 10 seventeen first rate ships OF
war. and, if armed as ships are. it would
have contained much beyond $4,000
men. and provisions for the m eighteen
months.
Button has stated that all the -four
footed animals may be reduced to 25O
pairs, and the birds to still smaller
number. On calculation, therefore. we
shall find that the Ark would have he Id
more than five times The requisite quan.
tity Of food to maintain them for twelve
months.

EXPORTS oE Wharf.-The Census
of 1850 gives the quantity Of wheat
grown in the United States at 100, $780,
900 bushels, which is an increase Of IS
per cent. on the product of 1910;
since which time our population has in
creased from II, O69, 453 to % ,246, 3Ol,
being gain Of SO per cent. so that it
appears for these ten years the produce
ton of wheat has not kept pace with the
increase Of population. BY table in
the Atlas, showing the exports for the
last twenty years we find that there has
been but little average increase in that
of wheat during this time, and that in
1910 and lS4l we sent to foreign coun.
tries 100000 bushels more than in
lS50-5l. In 1897, being a year Of
peculiar scarcity, we imported 4,OOO,-
600 bushels Of wheat, and in lS47, when
the famine commenced in Ireland, we
exported an unprecedented quantity,
which has since gradually fallen off,
In 1891 we exported at the rate Of IL
100 of bushel for every individual in
the nation in 1851 it was only 47-lO0.
New England consumes more wheat
grown at the south and west than we
send to all foreign nations. During the
same twenty years, from 1891 to 1851,

Some interesting statistics have been
published lately, from which il would sp-
pear that wool growing is likely to be-
come far more profitable pursuit than
hitherto, and that a general extension OF
operations in the business will soon be-
come matter of necessity. The pros
poets Of advantage aud profit to West
ern farmers are especially fiattering.
While the population of the States is
rapidly increasing, the supply of wool
is diminishing In New York the re i.
duc,ion is from 5000 900 to 3 ,OOO, 900 /;
in Vermont from 1000, 900 to 900, 600.
While the increase of population in the
United States has been 10000, 900 the
number of sheep has only increased /,
100000. We are now principally de-
pendent on foreign supply, and that
is diminishing. In seventeen Of the
largest nations Of Europe the sheep nun
Der only 207,l7l,35l, while the total
sum Of the population of these countries
is over 25,OO0,O0O. Australia used to
be capital wool producing country,
sending out 100000 to 10000, 900
lbs. annually. But the gold mania has
put startling check upon all that, and
caused great diminution in those ex-
ports. In word, deficiency of sheep
and wool is understood to appear
throughout nearly all tie great wool
growing sections Of the globe.
