No man; with resolute soul ever proves to
be a poor tool. More than one crooked NOR.
tai, that seemed in early life to bend to vice
and nothingness, by plucking up brave reso-
luton, and by nerving up2a stout heart, has
overcome all obstacles, and proved to be a
straight forward Man.
Resolution has converted the seas into dry
landing down the rock grit mountains, lifted
the vsllies to a level with the plains-grasped
the swift lightning from the clouds: and made
men-brage Godlike men--of pigmies and
dwarfs. Young mani what may you not be-

printer boy, become household wordl With.
out it what would now be known of the old
time memories that cluster around the name
of Washington, and Adams, and Fulton, and a
thousand other glorious names we might write
down. What would the spirit of Luther and
Huss have been but for the resolute will that
kindled q holy fire on the souls sacred altar
Where would he world renowned America,
but for the unawed resolution that upheld the
stout hearts of the brave old "heroes" we love

Snow ARcH.-One of the greatest curiosi-
ties ever witnessed at the White Mountains, is
now to be seen at Tuckerman's Ravine,"
about three miles from the Glen House. 1t
consists Of an arch Of pure snow spanning the
brook that tumbles over the rocks, from the
submits of the mountains. The ravine is the
receptacle of all the snow that blows from the
top of Mount Washington, and there can be
no doubt that during the winter taccumulates
to the depth Of several hundred feet. As the
brook begins to run in the spring, it wears its
way through under the snow, which gradually
meltsaway at the approach of summer, making
the cavity larger and larger. -
On the 10th of July, this ravine was visited
by D. o. Macomber, Esq. in company with
Mr.. J. H. Spauldihg of the Summit House,
and Mr.. Davis, the Engineer of the White
Mountain Carriage Road, by whom the arch
was measured. 1t was found to be ls0 feet
long, "a feet wide, and 40 feet high on the
inside, and 266 feet long, and 40 feet wide on
the outside. The snow forming the arch is
20 feet thick.
The gentlemen above named walked through
the arch in the bed of the brook, and ate their
dinner at the foot of the cataract which falls a
thousand feet down the sidesof the mountains.
The arch is on the southeast side of the
mountain, and is exposed to the heat of the
sun during most of the day. Last year it re-.
maned until August 18th, when warm rain
of several days continuance melted it away
1t is possible that this year it may last through
the season.

them under ten years of age, but many ofthem
twelve, fourteen, and still older. Mixed among
these girls are enough boys to educate them in

We should be glad if the following statement

AGRICULTURAL.
WHEAT PRODUCTION AND EXPLOITATION
OF THE UNITED STATES.

OF THE UNITED STATES.
The Cincinnati Railroad Record estimates
the wheat crop of 1854, in this country, at one
hundred and fifty millions of bushels, and the
home consumption at one hundred and twenty
millions, leaving but thirty millions for export
The exports of the United States in wheat and
-four, reduced to bushels, in 1851 and 1852,
were as follows
In l65l... bushels lOI,OOO,OOO I2,036,37l
In l852.......... 49,. l43,000,00O 1851, 800
1t will be seen that the proportion was very
nearly the same, viz: twelve per cent of the
crop. In a crop of one hundred and twenty
millions the same proportion will give eighteen
millions of bushels for expectation. But as the
price was then lows we must allow for an in
creased export under high prices. Thirty mil
lions, however, is the very utmost we can eX-
port, without changing the use of wheat and
-four to that of corn. 1t is very evident, then,
that if the war in Europe continues, deranging
as it does the source of supply, and the market
for breadstufs, the price for breadstuffs in this
country will continue to range much above the
ordinary average.
The Record adds
There is a popular error as to the production
of wheat in the United States, which pervades
the commercial circles as we'll as the newspa-
pers. 1t arises from confounding the capacity
to produce with the actual production. Men
look around on the fertile grain-growing soil OF
the United States, and say, ave cen feed all
Europe Very true, we can, but we do not.
The countries on the Baltic and Black seas
send vastly greater SURPRISES to market than
we do, and always will, unless prices rule high
or in the United States. The fact is, that on
the average prices paid for wheat, the Ameri.
can farmer has no great temptation to indulge
in that crop. Notwithstanding all the boasts
= made of wheat culture on the prairie lands OF
Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois, they have ss
yet made9no advance on the wheat culture OF
Ohio. The fact is, that the grass and corn
which 20 into cattle and hogs are the most
profitable crops. Under present prices, it is
true the farmer will produce as much wheat as
he can, but he had no such prices uutil after the
fall planting was made. The agriculture of a
country cannot be changed in one year or two
At one dollar per bushel, the farmer will be glad
to cultivate wheat; but he seldom hasthat temp.
tation, and the great irregularity of prices is
one Of the drawbacks on the crop.
We conclude, then, even if Ohio produces
more than an average crop, yet there will be no
excessive surplus of grain in this country. II
ere need heavy surpluses,we must have another
gear of cultivation TO produce them.
