The PEIcE OE GRAIN.-Below, says the Ce-
ciE Whig, we give from the pen of Maj Jones,
whose knowledge of statistics in regard to
breadstuffs is superior to that of any man with
whom we are acquuinted,) an article in refer
ence to the prices of grain, past, present and
prospective. 1t would seem from his statements
that there is a ''screw loose" somewhere; there
either was no good reason why wheat should
have sold at $3.50 in 1925; or, there is no good
reason why il shoald sell for $3.50 now. II
his calculations are cOrrect-and they agree
with the reports and calculations, generally
made IN regard to crops of lS56-we will nj
doubt witness great rise in the prices of grain
before the next harvest.
Mr.. Editor How is this Accounts from
] all parts OF the Union would Indicate that tn,
? corn, oats aud wheat crops are all short from
0ne-'hird to one-tt'h yet notwithstanding thi
i, fact OF unusually short crops throughout all Tn
States, grain is still going down. b., lntl
D while ago. during Ihc v-..r 1855. in which YEA
= w. exported to Europe less than ,400,O0O bust
C els of wheat that grain ranged at an avera g
:. price of 81 81 per bushel in >ew York-it
. now 81 80, having fallen off fully one dollt
IL per bushel.
e 1t is true that the deficit in the present col
a crop, is oue-thtrd, or 33 per cent, or only on
!. fifth, or 20 per cent, III quantity, then-tf
corn crop being estimated at 800, 900, 900 bus
{ els-a deficit of 20 per cent, or one-titIh, W
u amount to 100, 900 600 bushels Of corn. TIL
ld difference must makea great difference in pr
~ before the season Is out.
" The same OF wheat. One fifth, or 30 p
;! cent less than full average OF 160 000, 900 bus
lis els, is 32,0000O0 bushels. Now, if the expo
to Europe of less than 81 100000 bushels ra
nj cd the price of wheat in 1855 to 81
. per bushel, why will not the deficit of 3
O00,O00 bushels in the last crop, make gre
'i' change in the wheat market.

PHILOSOPHY OF NETTING BRIcK.-Lime
morter acts as bond with brick by adhesion,
the vehicle being the moisture or water of the
mortar. Dry porous bricks at once abstract
the moisture from the mortar, and it soon
evaporates; thus the binding vehicle between
the two is removed.
Spring and fall are the best seasons of the
year for building brick houses In warm dry
weather the moisture of the NOR ar evapora-
tes too rapidly and in frosty weather it crys-
talizes, and when thawed it sweats out.
Mortar becomes hard by absorbing carbonic
acid from the atmosphere; and it acquires by
age the character of stone. Without mois-
ture it will not become hard and solid. but
crumble into dust, hence the necessity of pre-
venting the rapid evaporation of moisture in
mortar used in building of brick or stone.

The Mothers First Gift.

is no bereaved mother who read the ensuing lines
tears, both of sorrow and of hope. They are by Mr.
: Chiffon, of Washington, and reflect honor upon hi
and his poetical {" gift divine" Dempster has married
the most touching sic, and sings them with all hi;
1med feeling and effect:
She sits beside the cradle
ANA her tears are streaming fast,
For she sees the present only
W hlle she thinks of all the past :;
vi the days so full of gladness,
When her first born's answering kiss
Filled her soul with such rapture
That 1t knew no other bliss.
On those happy, happy moments
They but deepen her despair,
For she bends above the cradle,
And her baby is not there
There words of comfort spoken
And the leaden clouds of grief
Wear the smiling bow of promise,
And she feels a sad relief
But her wavering thoughts will wander
Till they settle the scene
VI the dark and silent chamber,
And of all that might have been
For a little vacant garment,
Or shining tress of hair,
Tells her heart, in tones of anguish,
That her baby is not there
She sits beside the cradle,
But her longer flow,
For she sees a blessed vision,
And forgets all earthly woe;
SANITY eyes look down on her,
And the voice that hushed the
Stills her spirits with the whisper,
"Suffer them to to Me.'
And while her soul is lifted
On the soaring wings of prayer,
Heavens crystal gates swing inward,
And she sees her baby there
