Stay at Home Evenings. "A
Sad Story.
BY MRS. II. C. GARDNER.

Something dreadful has happened of late,
It'shadOws the place like cloud;
Let me whisper the story to you,
I'm ashamed to tell it aloud
Half dozen young boys who had friends
And homes that were pleasant and bright,
Have been tried in the law courts for theft ;
Alas, what pitifnl sight
Shall tell how these boys, step by step,
Have come down to crime and disgrace?
The first step was straying from home
With the bad, wicked boys of the place.
Atevening, when home should have been
Their refuge and happiness sweet,
They would steal from its shelter to lounge
In the stores, or play in the street.
Soon they fingered awhile by the doors
OF the drinking and billiard saloons,
And they hung round the low singing clubs
To catch the coarse words and the tunes.
BY little and little they lost
The fear of the law and its might; 81.
Every day they grew holder in crime,
More reckless and daring each night
Now, locked in the prisoners cell,
If their words to your hearing could come,
am sure they this counsel would bring,
Boys, spend all your evenings at home p

WHEAT CROP OF MICH1GAN.-
The Detroit Tribune gives care
fully compiled statistics of the
shipments of different articles of
farm produce from the interior
stations on the main roads of
Michigan. From these it appears
that :, 27S,417 bushels of wheat
were shipped in 1867, and $751;
269 bushels in 1866. There was a
decrease of some 10000 barrels of
flour in the shipments, those of
1867 reaching 6S6,9S6 barrels.
From August 1, 1867, to the close
of the year, itappears that the ex-
cess OF wheat and flour reduced to
wheat shipped, over the shipments
of 1866, were 1,375,435 bushels.
These figures would indicate a very
decided Increase in the wheat crop
of the State in 1867, over that of
1866 Western Rural.

nine hundred and eighteen pounds
cotton, or an average of nearly
three bales to the acre. What
better illutration could be offered
that the true policy of our plan
tiers is to make for the scarcity of
labor by high culture. A proper
application of artificial manures
will make our thin and impover-
ished lands equal to a garden in
productiveness.
