The WHEAT CRoP.-Some of our country friends
complain of the prospect for wheat, while others say
they never had a better crop No doubt there are
some localities where the crop has been damaged
but generally we think there will be fine yield.
Our friend Mr. John Wolfe who lives near this city
brought few specimen stalks from his plantation
and although the blades have yellow and withered
appearance, the stalk and head look healthy and
the grains we'll formed. We have heard of but one
two fields where the rust has struck the stalk.

Intoxication-What it is.

The Greek root Of the word intoxi-
cate means poison. Whoever says a
man is intoxicated says he is poison
ed. And it is true. Give a part OF
a glass of ordinary spirits to child
three or four years old, and the child
is in twenty minutes in a congestive
fit, and probably dies. 1t operates
precisely like strychnine, arsenic, or
any other deadly drug. Commence
by giving child thimbleful at a
time and gradually increase the
amount, and you may indurate him
SO that he will swallow rs much at a
tine as would kill him at first. So
you may begin with any other pois-
on and do the same thing. Our
physical framework is constructed
with reference to this, to enable it to
stand a large amount OF any deadly
substance.
There is nothing peculiar in this
action Of alcohol. Nothing in all this
but the universal law that all posons
destroy tho susceptibility OF the hui
man frame.

For Whom do we Dress.

Women want diamonds in order to
shine each orther down, and they
dress for precisely the same purpose.
AS rule, they can have neither
dress nor diamonds, unless men Law
ish these things upon them and that
men have done so in abundance is in
itself a demonstration that, in some
way they have already made
themselves exceedingly pleasing to
the donors Here lies the secret.
Women do not dress to please men,
but in order to snow each other that
they have pleased them Thus dress
is, with women, not the means of
victory, but the signs add proof OF
it
We're we to assert that men dress
to please women. we shoald be say
ing something very much nearer the
mark than the averment that won
en-, dress to please men. And it is
worth asserting though, OF course,
in order to make it strictly true, it
would require qualiication-in as
much az it will help to show us why
what, mutatjS amtandjS, can be pref
ty freely predicated Of one sex cam
not be Predicated at ali of the other.
Society is the business of woman s
life ; it is mans pastme and relaxa>
ton. Accordingly the women, when
in society, arc mostly bent upon pro
noting what they conceive to be
their interests, while men are princi-
pally occupied in seeking what they
conceive to be their pleasure. To be
reciprocally pleasing is one Of the 90
jects in lite Of the members Of both
sexes ; but it is the exclusive object

OUR RAILROAD PRoaREss.-An ar
ticle in Putaam's Monthly gives the
following striking statistical items
regarding the growth of railways in
| this country:
In 1880, there were forty>one
miles of completed railroad in the
United States. Ten years later there
was 2 l47 miles or at an average rat e
| of increase Of more than 200 miles
per annum. In 1850, again there
were 28,771 miles, or at an average
rate of, 600 miles per annum increase
during the decade From 1860 to
l865-a period moro favorable to the
destruction than The construction of
! railroads there were constructed
about six thousand miles additional,
or at an average rate, of 1000 miles
per annum. BY tho close of 1870 it
is reasonable estimate that there
will be completed $4,000 miles of rail-
road, or an average annual rate of in
crease Of 1900 miles per annum for
the last half of the decade Al this
time Cor to be more exact, at the close
of this year. there will be built, in
round numbers, 40, 900 miles of rail,
road communication in the United
States, or four tenths Of all the rail
roads in the world. This is a great
distinction for America, the young.
est Of the great nations. This will
give us a mile of railroad to each 90C
of population-a proportion twice al
large as that Of any European State
and approached only by the Canadas
where the railroads have for the most
