SMALL FARMs.-The French ora =

SMALL FARMs.-The French are no.
ted for their small farms. Some Of r..
facts are truly extraordinary:
What would we think on this broad
continent of ours, of field measuring
one aud a half yards by two, and a far.
mer owning and cultivating a single fur
row, and that by no means long one
And yet in Lorraine there are examines
of the former attestsd by the authoritv
of grave and respectable French wr;.
ter, and in Brittany the common name
applied to this possession is sillon or
furrow, and it is, in fact, often NOTHING
more. 1t is estimated that there are q,
bout million and a quarter of proprie-
tors IN France, none of which hold more
than two hectares, or five acres of land
and dividing the whole AZ "a of the coun:
try by the total number of proprietor.
Of every grade, the average size of the
farms is about eleven and half acres.
Ii the French are noted for small
farms, the Americans are noted for the
contrary. A farmer here has never e.
nough land, even when he counts his
thousand acres.

a dear sister about to leave this world of care.
Will you give them place in your columns,
and obiige ASuBscRIBEn.
How sweet the words ssmy baby" sounds
To fond parents ear
It fills the heart with purest joy,
And memories, oh /! how dear.
The memories Of the earliest smile
That round its sweet mouth played,
The tiny arms that clasped your neck,
And the cradle where it laid.
When first its infant "cooings" came,
As gentle as dove M
When first it lisped your parent name,
How throbbed your heart with love-
Oh! may the music of his voice
Be ever sweet as now,
When time has left his burrows deep
Upon your youthful brow.
Brother and Sister, kind and dear
Oh may my little lay
Float like music round your heart,
When Pm in silence laid away. H n.

to taxing credits was stricken out. 9th
er similar amendments were made which
entirely emasculate the bill, and render
it almost certain that no law changing
