What will be the Future Price
of Wheat?

Oh WmoaeS
The Chicago Tribune discusses Wtiht
future of wheat" and after going ovel
the whole field, comes to the follow,
ing conclusion: Present indications
are not in favor of higher prices. The
price of the article is again falling in
Liverpool and London, owing to the
arrival of large fleets of grain-laden
vessels from the Orient regions
Odessa is pouring in wheat, and the
neighbOring ports are sending forth
their grain in numerous vessels, while
the news comes that California has a
very large surplus crop, which she
must export, and promises to do great
er things next season.
The only hope for higher prices lies
in that Of a poor crop in 1869. Here,
again, the balance of the testimony is
against it. The weather of the pres
ent winter has been particularly favor
able to spring sowing, and the indica-
tiOns are that the greater portion Of
the next crop will be sOwn in March,
which is generally looked on as insur-
inga bounteOus yield. The only kind
of wheat like to be injured by the
weather is that sOWn in the fall. But
the proportion of winter wheat is now
very small, and grows smaller each
season. Not a bushel of winter wheat
has been sold in our market for the
past three months, and -four made
therefrom is a drug with our dealers.
The manufacture of spring -four has
been so much improved within the
past two or three years that it an
swers every requirement.
So far, then, there appears to be no
very cheering prospects for the advo-
C ttes of high prices. The best thing
that holders can do is to prepare to
look their losses in the face as grace
fully as may be, and decide to let
them go, lest the chance of selling be
denied in toto. The supply is too
abundant to admit of scarcity, and
sellers to the great world of consum-
ers are too numerous to admit of the
holders being able to dictate in the
matter of prices.

The Land Breeze.

Here is an ocean memory to which
Mr.. Boecher lately treated the OLD
folks of his congregation:
When, after the weary voyage that
I first made across the ocean, sick and
lOathsOme, I arose one morning and
went on deck, holding on, crawling,
thinking that was but worm, ]
smelt something in the air-sOme
strange smell; and said to the captain,
"What is the odor?'' ait is the land
breeze from off Ireland" 1 smeIt the
turf, smelt the grass, I smelt the
leaves and all my sickness departed
from me my eyes grew bright, my
nausea was gone. The thought of the
nearness Of the land came to me and
CURED me better than any medicine
could cure me. And when afar off, 1
saw the dim line of land, joy gave me
health, and from that moment, I had
neither sickness nor trouble; 1 was
coming near to land.
Oh is there not for you, old man,
and for you, wearied mother, land
breeze blowing off from Heaven, watt
ing to you some of its Odors, some of
its sweetness? ? Behold the garden of
the Lord; it is not far away, I know
from the air. Behold the joy of home.
Do l not hear children shout? The
air is full of music to our silent
thoughts. Oh, how full of music
when our Journey is almost done, and
we stand upon the bound and pre-
cinct of that blessed land! Hold on
to your faith. Give not away to dis
Believe more firmly.
Take hold by prayer and by faith. In
a few hours visions of God, and of all
the realities Of the eternal world, shall
be yours, and you shall be saved with
an everlasting salvation.

The Boot Problem,

There seems to be difference of opinion among OUT
contributors in regard to the correct answer TO the
Boot problem recently published in this department
''ClodhOpper," first assured that the merchant
lost $50 and the boots, but he says he wrong
and he thinks the merchant lost S95 and the bOots
"Two-Forty' takes Issue with him on this point,
and says the merchant lost s IS and the boots.
'Fizzy Figgins' agrees With "Two-FOrty," that the
loss was S45 and the boots
We shall not give the correct answer yet, as the
question seems to have excited some interest. Try
again, boys.

The sun is called masculine, from
its supporting and sustaining the
moon, and finding her the where
withaI to shine always as she does OF
a night, and from his being obliged TO
keep such a family of stars. The
moon is called feminine, because sh"
is constantly changing, just like a ship
blown about by every wind. The
Church IS feminine, because she is mar
ried to the State; and Time is mas
culine, because he trifes with the la
dies.

Tie Christians i'm Ianan.

The facts in reference to the Chris
tians of Japan are briefly these, as stat
ed in letter to the Presbyterian: On
the 7th of July, ia native Christians,
chiefly men and heads of families,
were put on board a japanese steamer,
at Nagasaki, and carried ont to sea.
A rumOr spread that they were drown
ed; but they were destined to a
harder fate, that of penal servitude in
the mines of the north. One hundred
more were detained in prison, prob
ably to be taken to the same place of
banishment on the return of the
steamer; and the names of 1000
were placed on the list of prescribed,
all OfwhOm were to be destroyed with
out mercy, if they should refuse to re-
cant. The protest of the foreign con-
suls was received with contempt, and
it remains to be seen what will be the
result of Bishop PetiGean's appeal to
the French minister. The Bishop
says that he is in communication with
10000 Christians in Japan, and thinks
there are no less than 100000 in the
whole country.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMs.-Chas
F. Adams has read a paper before the
Social Science Convention against elec-
tOral colleges. He says:
A change of less than thirty thous-
and votes in Seven states would have
made Gov. Seymour the legally elect
ed President, while his opponent
would still have received a popular
majority of two hundred and eighty
thousand votes. This, and many
other exemplificatiOns, show that un-
der the existing system a premium is
placed upon fraud in certain localities
where a few votes may Out-balance a
great many in another locality. The
violation of the ballot box by one
party makes its violation by the other
party what is called in the parlance of
the day a political necessity. The sur
est protection of the ballot will be
found in the making frauds upon it,
as far as may be, unavailing.

The coal trade of Pennsylvania has
been one of almost uninterrupted
prosperity. In 1880 the aggregate
shipment of anthracite coal from the
Pennsylvania mines to the seabOard
was 104,734 tons. Since then the in
crease has been gradual, and in 1868
reached the enormous amount of 49,
$780, ,720 tons. During the whole thir-
ty-eight years, only five show de
crease over any former one. In 1884,
1857, 1861 and 1865 there was a slight
falling of, but each of these periods
were exceptional epOchs in trade.
The prOportiOnate in increase has as q
general thing, been very steady.

What song should hail the welcome hour
That sees the nation waiting stand
To place the emblems Of its power
Within its herO's faithful hand?
Resembling notes Of martial fame
Mix with the patriots full acclaim,
without uroeass;
While gsntler strains the breezes bear
On vernal wings, and everywhere
Rises the sentiment aud prayer
"Let US have Peace /"
Enough that Wars fell rage is spent,
Aud freedom still survives secuIe;
her stature loftier and uubeHt,
g Her strength Increased, her vosturs pure,
The fame his country we'll bestoEs
Upon the chief who crushed her foesS
All climes Increase;
But nobler rings DER land and main,
And nobler erhoes bock again,
The manly, Christian, SWEET refrain,
''Lot US have PeaceI
Then, from New England's busy mills;
From where the Mississippi flows;
From where the bursting cotton fills
The golden air with mimic SHOWS;
From where the golden nuggets shine
Close neighbOrs Of the fruitful vine
They will not cease,
The countless voices raised to greet
The soldier in the rulers seat,
This chorus ever to repeat,
'Let us have Peacei"

GIRLS oF TIE PERIOD.

-A4N W ne E1hlOOs
Miranda is exceeding fair,
With painted cheeks and purchased hair;
She dresses sp1endidly, I know,
For other girls have told me so,
Her fingers glitter with her rings,
She smiles most sweetly when she sings,
Likes Verdi better than Mozart,
And sneers at ali that's called High Art,
But dances with consummafe skill,
At orOquet hits the stick at will,
OF needlsvOrk affects q dread,
Is fond Of breRkfasting 10 bed:
Can act charades, delights in balls,
Iu piCnics, ''drums, " and morning calls;
Can prattle FreDcb, and German too,
But scarce one useful thing can do.
Attends the races, CHATS, and bets,
And talks Of 'animals" and ''vsts."
Can ride to hodnds, or drive pair,
And knows what gloves are best to wear,
But ne'er could make an apple tart,
DevOnrs sensation tales by dozen>,
And loves to hirt with handsome cousins.
All but that she might play ne fal,e,
I'D ask Miranda for q valss
Amanda better pleasss me,
UnfashiOnable though she be.
Disdaining purchased charms to wear,
She neither paints nor dyes her hair.
Her manner simple as her dress,
No art eau aid her lovelintss,
She rises cheerful as bird,
Nor e'er let's fall a suIky word.
Can see her rival decked in lace,
Nor WesF frown upon her face,
Can pass a bonnet shup, nor sigh
The last French novelty to buy.
Tries to make happy all about her,
So that they scarce can do without her;
Lives simple pleasures, simple books,
Aud thinks but little how she looks.
Nor veARs that Shakespeare now is ''slow."
They who converse with her will find
She has an educated miud 4
Yet never will she deem It shocking
To own that she can darn a stocking,
And, though unskilful as q fiirt,
She'll sew button on a shirt.
All were I in the prime Of life,
I'd ask Amanda for wife.
