A rich man may wear torn coat, thread
bare vest, or worn hat; it is proper in him
if it suits his fancy; but man of moderate
means must dress well, or he is despised by
his fellows. The former may dress poorly,
because he can dress better; the latter must
dress well, because he cannot afford it. The
man who has more money than he wants can
borrow as much as he pleases; the man who
has no money and wants it often experiences
difficulty in borrowing dollar. Poverty
travels barefooted over rugged path; indus
try is harnessed to carriage and wealth rides
i'll it.

after washing an infant ten months old in a
tub Of water, laid it on the floor while she
left the room. Meantime larger child put
the infant back in the tub and attempted to
resume the washing of it; but unfortunately
the poor baby's head was kept under water
so long, that when the mother returned she
found it dead.

The WHEAT CROP OF l855.-Every new
calculation of the quantity of wheat to be
garnered in the United States this year seems
tobe on the ascending scale. No one thinks
of reducing the sum given by the census TAX
ers. In 1850, the amount of the crop is
stated officially to have been within frac.
ton of l0O,OOO,OOO bushels That was 8
productive year, and the crop of Ohio was
nearly thirty million bushels. Mr. Cist, cd
itor of a commercial paper in Ohio, puts
down the total this year of that State at for
ty millions, and computes the whole yield o.
the States and Territories at 1876, 100000
Mr.. Cist has been for thirty years engaged as
a statistician, and places good deal of conf
dence in his own figures. He regards the
seven States, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri, as the
chief wheat bearing States, from whence
comes all surplus sent abroad, the others bare
1y producing enough for their own supply,
and his calculation is based upon the pro6ta-
bic yield in those sections. This mode OF
com putting the supply is not understood, he
thinks, in the Atlantic States, and hence they
are liable to err in their judgment.
With all the high estimates of the harvest,
however, the prices are provokingly slow in
looming down." Roch. Democrat.

Whoever sets down Michigan as having a
surplus Of good wheat this year will find him
self in an erroneous calculation. Our own
Judgment is based upon information from all
parts Of the State, that fully three-fourths of
the whole crop is more or less damaged by
growth. Had the weather during harvest
time been propitious there is no question that
the yield would have been immensely larger
in quantity than that of any year previous,
and quite as good in quality. Perhaps sew
en- millions of bushels would have been fair
estimate of the crop. But the weather was
not propitious, and we doubt whether Michi-
gan has more good wheat than equals her Or
