proaches when the wheat crop will be
coming forward to market, the price OF
the farmers. We heard on Saturday that
offers of $3.50 per bushel for July delivery
we're made by large dealer, and refused:
Il is deemed not improbable that the first

engaged in the trade appear to think That
the average price will not be much above
$50.
Harvesting in this section is now general,

for the Jews were now utterly dishcartencd.
The Romans once masters of the walls, spread
like dcluge over the city, and slew all the
Jews they met in the narrow lanes, and set
fire to the honscs. In many of these they
found entire families dead of hunger, and
these places, in their horror, the soldiers left
unplundcrcd. The Romans, weary at last,
of staying, Titus gave orders that no Jew un-
less found with arms in his hands, should be
killed. But omc soldiers still went on butch
erng the old and infrm, and driving the
youths and women into the temple. The
males under seventeen were sent to the Egyp-
tian mines; several thousands were given to
provisional amphithcatrcs to fight with gla-
diators aud wild beasts but before all could
be sent away, eleven thousand of them perish
ed from famine. Altogether, in this cruel
siege, there perished eleven hundred thousand
Jews. This enormous multitude is account
ed for by the fact, that when Titus sat down

tut shor; nre the regrets and lew nre the tears
That fall at the tomb Of The banishcd years.
There is quiet and peace and domestic love-
And joys arising from tnith and truth,
And truth unlucstoning. far above
The passionate dreamngs OF ardent youth;
And kisses or children OH lips and check
And the parents lss which tongue can speak
There arc loved ones lost There are little graves
In The distant dell. meath protecting trees
Whore the strcamet winds aud the violet waves
And the grasses sway to the sighing breeze;
And We mourn Tor pressure OF tender lips
And the light Of eyes darkcncd in deaths cclpsc
And thus as the glow Of daylight dies,
And the nights first look to the earth is east.
| gnzc. meath those beautiful SUNNI n skies.
Al the pictures ti,a hang in lLr hall OF the past ;
On, Sorrow and JOY. ch h,nt mingled Ia
When To memory's wildwood we wander away!
