NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..


How strange arc the freaks of memOryl
The lessons of life we forget,
While trife, a trick OF Color,
In the wonderful web Is set
Set-by some mOrdant OF fancy,
And despite the wear and tear
OF time, or distance or trouble
Insists on its right to be there.
A chance had brought Us together;
OTr faIk was OF matters OF cOursei
We Were nothing, one 10 the other,
But a short halfhOur's RESOURCE
We smoke of French acting and actors,
And their easy, natural way
of tho weather for it was raining,
AZ we drove home from the play
We debated the social nOthings
Men take such pains to discuss;
The thuuderOus Tumors OF bat'ie
Were silent the while tor US
Arrived at her door, we left her
With 4 drippingly hurried adieu,
And our wheels went crunchlnS the BfaNSi
OF the oak-dsrkened avenue.
aswe drove away through the shadow,
The candle she held in the door
From rain-ysrnished tree-tEunk 70 tIeo-
Flashed fainter, and flashed no usOre, -
Flashed fainter and wholly faded
Before We had passed the WOOL
Pms the light of the face behind Is
went with me and stayed for good
The vision of scarce a moment,
And hardly marked at the time,
II comes unbidden to haunt me,
Like 8 scrap of ballad-rhyme.
Had she beauty? Well, not what they
call sO:
Won NAV find p thOussnd as fair,
And vet there's her fsee i'm my memory,
With no special right to be there
Ana sit sometimes in the twilight,
And call back to life IN the Goals
Oii faces and hopes and fancies
long buried good rest to their souisi
Her face shines out of the embers;
I sec her holding the light,
Aud hear the crunch Of the gravel
And the sweep of the rain that night
rTIs & face that can never grow OLDER,
That never can part with It's gleam'
lis a gracious possession forever,
For What is IL all but dream.

Of information from all the states
shows that the total acreage IN wheat
is 10 to ID per cent. greater than last

breadth OF winter wheat is quite as

wheat much greater. In the Ohio Val
ley the acreage of winter wheat is less
by ~ or 10 per cent, with very
heavy increase of spring sowing. The
states showing any material decrease
of acreage of winter wheat are Ohio,

PlainfieId, Conn.,, a man of good feel
ings but small means-who is at pres
emit living with his third wife-an
asked him to attend hir; to the bury
ing ground in that place. After con-
siderable urging aud many excuses and
many vain endeavOrs to find out what
was wanted, he finally consented to go.
Judge of his surprise when upon reach
ing the spot where were buried his two
former wives, he beheld two beautiful
gravestones of exquisite finish, neatly
placed over their graves. But what
added still further to his surprise and
astonisbment was that, after consider
BILE questioning, he learned that they
had been bought, paid for and placed
there by the wife with whom he now
lives atan expense of $500. What rem
ders that act more commendable is,
that she had worked III the mill for
more than a year past to earn the
money to pay for them; and IN all that
time had never mentioned her plans to
any person excepting the man OF whom
she purchased the stones, her husband
being In complete Ignorance that she

The facts indicating the condition of
the crop are still more encouraging.
The following table shows the average
improvement upon last year:
Ohio 100 per cent Missouri. 80 per cent.
Ind. .73 per cent Kentucky 53 per cent.
Mich. so per cent. Virginia. 100 per cent.
Wis. % per cent. N. o.. 40 per cent.
MINI. -. z per cent. Tenn. SO per cent
Illinois. Is per cent.
The other states, excepting Texas,
make favorable comparison with last
year. Tt is too early TO estimate the
final result of the harvest; but with
average success in ripeniDg the crop
ought not to be less than 200, 600. 900
bushels. An average acreage of winter
barley has been sOwn in a majority of
tue states. A decrease of five per cent.
is estimated for New York; Ohio, eight
per cent; Indiana, three per cent; an
increase in Tennessee of ten per cent,
and in Arkansas of twenty-five per
cent. On the whole, there is a very
slightly diminished breadth of winter
barley, but the increase of the Spring
sowing will compensate for the deticl-
eney. The condition of clover is good
throughout the country
fine in Ohio and the Middle and New
England States. La Pennsylvania 1t IS
somewhat better than in New York,
and in Maine and Massachusetts, more,
comparatively, fiourishing as compared
with last year, than in the remainder of
New England. The acreage of oats IS
larger than usual; in the west, Ohio is
the only state which cannot show an
increase. The crop is somewhat vari-
able in condition.; In the South, far
above an average; in New York, 10 per
cent. below; in Pennsylvania, six per
cent; in Kentucky, Ii per cent. An
the West, generally, the prospect is
better than last year.
