THE WHEAT CRor AND PRIcEs.-We have
noticed recently some facts and statements in
regard to the late wheat crop which seem rath-
er at variance with the general opinion on the
subject. The american Farmer thus con-
cludes an article in reply to the attack of
writer in the Washington Inteiligencer, on
some of It's former statements, which seems to
carry with it a considerable show Of plausibil
ity. One thing seems not 10 be taken into
the account viz: that it will this year require
more wheat per head, from the fact that we
began TO use the new crop month or two
sooner than usual.
Now as TO the estimates of tie crop. the
largest is that of the New Y ork Courier and
Inquirer, being LIS, COG. 900 of bushels, or rs
per cent. more than the crop of 1850. Il will
give our readers Of Maryland and Virginia
some idea of TIE extravagance of this estimate
when we say that it increases the crop of Ma
ryland from 4, 4o4 $50 10 6, 6,O0U, 600; that Of
Virginia from I ! 600. 900 to l {, GOO. 600; that
Of South Carolina 800 per cent; that of n.
Carolina 100 per cent, and others in larger
ratios. The estimate of the Cincinnati Price
Current is 1l4.oGp, 900 for the whole crop,
or 4 per cent. increase on the crop of 1850.
while we think the estimate of the Courier
and Inquirer a very extrayagant one, 1.-THE

the very liberal estimate of loo, ,000, 600, and
how does il bear upon prices. The English
estimate of consumption is a quarter or eight
bushels TO each inhabitant. The Richmond
Examiner. in very able article ON the SUBJ
ject OF the crops, states il as fact aseertained
by Two censuses, that it is not less in this
country than five. bushels per head. This

AN IMPORTANT MPRovEMENT.--The express
train from the east, which arrived at Roches-
ter Wednesday afternoon, attracted eonsidera-
bic attention at the depot IN consequence of the
" heels and connections of the cars being en-
tirely con ncealed from view. Boards are plac-
ed on the sides OF the cars almost as low as
the rails. AMI a canvass extends from one
platform to another, covering all the connee-
tions- This arrangement is designed to keep
down the dust, which can only escape a. the
end of tire last car IN the train. Ii will also
prevent accidents, avoiding loss OF life and
limb. No passenger or otter person can get
from the cars under the wheel without remov-
ing the covering. Thereis no such thing as
falling between the wheels and platform for the
space between the ears is covered with can
yass capable of sustaining the weight Of ten
men.
This plan of protecting passengers in cars
from dust and accident is patented we under
stand, and has already been introduced else
where with success. We are informed that
the inventor designs making further i'm
provement, with view to carrying the smoke
and cinder from the locomotive under the
cars also. 10 the rear of the train If he does

THOUGHTS ON PRAYER.

While prayer is deemed an art SO happy,
Bys few who others rule;
Jesus teach US its Importance
In thyscIf denying school II
puyer's the sweetest noblest duty,
Highest privilege of man,
Gods cxalted--man's abased
Prayer unites their natures one.
God aiore can teach Hi, children, 2
By HIS SPIRIT. how to pray;
Knows thsir wants and gives the knowledge
What to ask and what 10 soy.
Why should man then manufacture,
Books Of prayer, and have them sold!
Sad deusion strive to barter,
Christ's prerogative for gold
Where's the book or school or college,
That can teach man to pray?
Words they give from earthly knowledge,
Learn Of CHRIST, then HES the way. 81
Why ask money from the people,
For these barren books Of prayer?
Paper, ink, and words in them,
But alas Christ is not there.
Those who seek shall surely find him,
Not in books-He reigns mithin.
Formal prayers can never reach Him,
Neither can He dwell with sin.
Words are free - they are common;
Some use them with n wondrous skill
But "saying Lord - will never save them, 81
Those He loves who do His will
Words may please the lofty fancy,
Music charm the list'ning ear,
Pompous words may please the giddy,
But Christ, the Saviour, is not there.
Christ. tho Way, the path to Heaven,
Life is ours if Him we know; [6
Those who can pray HE has taught them,
Those who can't, should words Jorego.
When child wants food and rament,
Why not ask his parent dear?
AK In ssish thsn, God's our Father,
He's at hand, and He will hear.
Prayer is easy, simple study,
'Tis the language Of the soul:
Grace demands il, grace receives it,
Grace must reign above the whole.
God requires not graceful postures,
Neither words arranged with form,
Such n thought il presupposes,
That with words we God can charm.
God alone must be exalted,
Every earthly thought must fall;
Such Is prayer and praise triumphant
Then does Christ reign over all.
Every heart should bo = tempIs,
God should dwell our hcarss within;
Every day should be a sabbath;
Every hour redeemed from sin.
Every place place of worship,
Every time tune of prayer.
Ever sigh should rise to Heaven.
Every wish should center there.
HEARTFELT sighs and heaven born wishes,
Or the meek upliftcd eye,
These prayers thai God will answer,
They ascend His throne on high.
Spirit of Prayer be thou the portion,
Of all those who wait on Thee
Help US, shield us, lead US, guide US.
