him how, in the course of two years,
at one quart day, he swallows as
many bricks as would make q nice
cottage. Ny old grandfather died
when nearly a hundred years old.
IL lived in one house nearly eighty
years, and at the time of his death,
be had not so much as brick or a
chimney-pot, although he had paid
rent all his life. Now had he belong
ed to building society, his grand
son might have been better off than
he is.
| have said that a quart of ale is
equal to twenty-five bricks, and a
paper of tobacco is the mortar to Law
them with. There they are, the
twenty-five bricks and the mortar,
going from many a mans pocket over
the public house counter every day.
Such men will never be freeholders.
La Birmingham we have bought free
hold land at the rate Of Is Cd. per
yard-two quarts of ale and paper
of tobacco exactly
| remember some time ago telling
the coal beavers and the limestone
quarrymen, in meeting at Dudley,
that every quart of ale was equal TO
half-a-yard of freehold land. One
man got up in the far end of the
room and said, What is that you say,
mister' replied, why my dear fell
low, with every quart of ale you
drink you swallow halEa yard of
land We'll then said he, i have
swallowed many field in my time
Upon calculation, we find that
the loss Of money alone to a man
spending Cd day in drink Ca pint
Of ale for instances amounts, at the
end Of twenty-seven years with
compound interest at five per cent?
TO the large and handsome sum Of
five hundred and nine pounds, suffi-
cient to buy half million of bricks,
which would build, say twenty-five
houses; or at one shilling and a penny
per square yard, it would purchase
an estate OF two acres of building
ground, or land enough for forty re-
spectacle houses and gardens or it
would purchase three good houses all
complete.
Workingmen is there not some
inducement here to leave off drink
ing 4? Remember that in the above
calculation there is nothing what
ever put down for loss of time and
health this would amount to far more
than the actual cost of the drink.

THE NEXT WHEAT CROP.

Farmers complain that wheat is
low, but still, compared with old-time
prices and the difficulty and expense
OF marketing, they might suppose
they were now living In the millennial
days. Perhaps they are, and don't
know it. Thirty years ago the proph-
ecy of dollar bushel for wheat and
market at their doors, would have
6eSn regarded as an angury of better
days than were destined to dawn on
this particular portion of our planet.
The high prices and ready market
came, but the crops went-the land
had got sick of wheat, and wanted
rest to get up an appetite for it, but
still 1T was crammed. Wheat, both
winter and spring, was o sure crop
30 years ago, and less, on these prai
ries, the old settlers inform us. Mr..
Henry Loop, who settled on South
Prairie in 80 or whereabouts, paid in
one season for the thresbing of -four
thousand bushels Of as plump, nice
wheat as was ever grown but such
was the difficulty and expense ofteam-
ing it to Chicago, and the lowness of
prices, that he calculated it would
have been money in his pocket had
be raised but one thousand bushels.
Thus the business was prosecuted at
loss, and even with large crops,
developed e tendency at that early
day to run man into debt and keep
him there. But Notwithstanding
past experience, full as many tickets
will be taken in the wheat lottery
the coming season as ever before, if
not more. According to the natural
course OF lotteries prize falls due
once in while, and many believe
1871 is the year for it to come along,
because the tremendous wheat crop
OF 1860 followed the drouth of 1859.
which was one nearly as much pro-
longed as that of the past season, but
not accompanied with such an extern
ded term OF intense heat The rea-
son for the belief that the wheat
crop of 1871 will be abundant is a
scientific one, or so supposed. The
heat has drawn the surface properties
which were reposing in the subsoil
below, necessary to the healthy
growth of the wheat plant, and next
season the roots of the same will find
their favorite food, as was the case
in the olden time, and golden heads
will nod in time to the tune of thirty
bushels to the acre. So many calcu-
late, and we hope they will not be
disappointed. 1t is pretty certain
that the seeding will be liberal next
spriug.-BeLUidere (Ws.) Standard,

OVER THE RIVER.

Mrs. a. c. Wakefield, the author Of the following
touching poem, died recently at winchenden, Mass
aged 80 years. COVER THE RyEg" was written when
It's auther only 20 years Of age. then resident
Iinsdae, N II. We publish the poem as a fitting
obituary Of its gifted author
over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones whove crossed t. the further side;
The CLEAN Of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are lost In the dashing tide
There's one with ringlets Of sunny gold
And eyes the reflection Of heavens own blue
lie crossed ia the twilight gray and cold
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view.
We saw not the angel who met him there,
The gates Of the city we could not see
over the river over the river
Ny brother stands waiting to welcome me
over the river the boatmau pale
Carries another, the household pot
Her brown cars waved IN a gentle gale
Darling Minnie see her yet
She crossed on her bosom her dimplod hands,
And fearlocsy entered the phantom bark
We fe't il glide from the silver sands,
Aud all our sunshine grew strangely dark
We know she IS safe on the other side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be
Over the river-the mystic river
Ny childhood's idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold aud pale
We hear the dip Of the golden oars,
And catch CLEAN Of the snowy SAIL
And 10 they have passed from our yearuue heart
Who cross the stream and are gone for aye
We may not sunder the veil apart,
That hides from vision the gates Of day;
We Qaly know that their barks no more
May sail with us DER liles stormy sea;
Yet. somewhere, know on the unseen Shore
They watch, aud bcckon and wait for me.
md sit and think, when the sunsets gold
l. on flushing river and hill AMI shore,
shall one day stand by the water cold,
And li-t for the sound Of the boatman's oar:
shall watch for a CLEAN Of the Hopping sail;
shall hear the boat as it gains the strand
shall pass from sight with the boatman pale
To the better shore Of the spirit land,
shall know the loved who have gone before,
And JOY full sweet will the meeting be-
When over the riyer-the peaceful river
The angel Of death shall carry me.
