low figure. bring to Crawford, in cash or
its equivalent, $4,000. The tomato, sor

Aggregate the whole crops grown from

The increase Of the value Of live stock

the population Of Crawford county
will approximate--men, women and chill
dren, Of all colors--7 900 souls; very
small number Of inhabitants. considering
the important and natural resources OF
the county. But it is certainly fair to
conjecture that our population viii treble
itself in less than seven years from pres
ent date
In casting around and summing up
the already partially developed resources
Of Crawford county, which certainly no
one will deny has been done on a scale OF
fairness as demonstrated above, to be
highly encouraging to the industrious
farmer and mechanic,
AS it regards our minerals and hidden
treasures of the earth, they stand measu-
rably undeveloped as yet. But just think
of the inexhaustibe beds Of coal, the
iron, copper, lead and silver that !. found
cropping out at numerous points along
our ravnes, gulchcs and mountain
streams And VIC are amazed at the in.
difference with which our people regard
these scarcely hidden treasures beneath
their feet
But will close these hasty remarks
by expressing the sincere hope that the
day is not far in the distant future when
capital and labor will lay held Of these
things. seeking not only the treasures
that lie buried among the rocks. but tho
millions of wealth that is contained in
our broad acres of virgin soil

Herbert Ainscouft said no more, but
he did not relish the change that had
lately come over the spirit Of Daisy's

was useless. Presently her mother-in-

where Herbert lay on the sofa, pretend

his troubles.
"What's the matter, Herbert ?" said
Daisy, knccling on the floor beside him,
and putting her soft cool hands on his
fcyered brow
"The matter. Nothing much, only
Pm miserable" he sullenly answered.
"But why ?" she persisted.
/" Because you are so changed. You
are never at home; l never have you to
myself any more"
docs it mako you unhappy" she
asked, softly.
"You know it does, Daisy
"And do you suppose liked it, Her

"What do you meanY" he asked.

A PERSIAN FABLE.
" How old art thou ?" said the garulous gourd,
As DER tue palm trees crest it pyured
Its spreading leaves and tendrils line.
And hung a bloom in the morning shine.
" An hundred years! the palm tree sighed /;
"And l." the saucy gourd replied,
" Am at the most and hundred hours,
And overtop thee in the bowersv'
Through all the palm trees leaves there went
A tremor as of self-content.

"Sec what / see, and count the dead,
And every year Of all Eye known,
A gourd above my head has grow,
And made boast like thine to-day;
Yet here stand--but where are Hey?"
