THE NEXT CROP.

The following article We find in the New
York Tribune, on subject which it is now
time to consider, and which may be Of value
to some Of our many agricultural readers.
The inducements held out TO farmers to
plant large spring crop were never more
iattering than ut the present time. Wheat
is higher this day than ever known before in
New York, and so fall other grain. And
these large prices are not entirely the result
Of speculation, based upon European war
news. Independent Of the war demand,
there is n scarcity OF brcadstutis abroad
which has already drawn of the surplus Of
our crops until the price is affected by the
law of demand and supply. The
supply having become exhausted, and the
great American granary, in a measure emp
tied, the world calls upon farmers to refill it.
There is another demand for grain besides
the foreign one. which will prevent prices
from reccding below the paying point for
several years to come, and that is for the i'm

How seldom we dream Of the mariners grave

How little we think Of the wind anu 'ne "a'e'

As the threatening clouds go by
As the wind gets up, and the last faint light

How the same wild gust must toss the ship,
And arouse the mighty sea

And pray for the loved one Tar away,

The Ballad to the Tempest.
DY J. T. FIELDS.

We were crowded il the cabin,
Not n soul would dare to slecp,-
II was midnight on the waters,
And Storm was on the deep
Tis fearful thing in winter
To be shattered In the blast,
And To hear the ratiling trumpet
Thunder, "Cut away the mast"
So we shuddcred there in silencc,-
For the stouicst held his breath,
While the hungry sea was roaring,
Aud the breakers talked with Death.
And thus we sat in darkness,
Zach one busy in his prayers
We are lost ~ the captain shouted,
As he staggered down the stairs.
But his little daughter whispered,
As she took his ICY hand,
"lsn'l God upon the ocean,
Just the same as on the land
Then we kissed the little maiden,
And spoke in better cheer,
And we anchored safe in harbor,
When the morn was shining clear.

"Some persons visited him during his
troubles in Illinois, and the conversation
turned OIL selEdeience. He was asked what

which required him who had been smi,len
Oh one cheek TO turn the other also. "A
very remarkable PASSAGE he answered,
'spoken by Jesus himself and sirikinsly
illustrative Of his thorough acquaintance Of
human nature. A man may strike you AN.
der mistake, or without intending any
harm; and you ought not TO strike back i'm.
medialely, but turn The other cheek and give
him an opportunity 10 explain, or, iflhs be

THE GRAVES FLOWERS.

Around little grave some bright flowers grew,
And dropped aud died; no hand was there Il
cherish;
They bloomcd unseen, till winter came, then
persisted,
Like the irai flower above whose grave they grew
They drooped awhile, then died, forgotten too.
No wandering steps disturbed that sacred spot,
To drop a tear-no stone was there To show
The little sleeper had not been forgot Iers,
But when spnng came, with gentle falling show
Around the little mound they grew again;
First came the leaves, then little buds, and then,
With all their fragrant beauty, came the flowers,
To rest again the little grave above
They seemed To inc more fitting than a sione,--
In such spot, il seemed that God in love,
Had marked that little grave, TO all but him un.
known.
