Gave ear to themes he treated.
They crossed their tAwpy shins
And on their hams were seated
And yet they were not lost.

And now they understood
The goodness he had brought them.

An AsRcDoTR OF BARONESS BURpErr

She asked for mourning dress goods, and was
shown by one of the attentive shopmen TO the
proper department.. Please show this lady

Mrs Coutts made her selection and then asked
for mourning collars; the clerk who had waited
on her then accompanied her to the proper
counter. "Please show this lady mourning col
lars-two-ten," said he, and left her. From this
department she went to look for mourning
pocket handkerchiefs, escorted by the clerk,
who passed her over to his successor with the re-
quest, SHOW this lady pocket handkerchief
As she had still other articles to buv. she was
esco rtfd from counter to counter, department
TO apartment, and everywhere these cabalistic

Struck by the popularity of this refrain, she
asked the proprietor as she left the establish

"Oh, it is nothing" he replied; "merely
password that they are in the habit of exchang-

But Miss Coutts was not satisfied with this ex-
PLANTATION. Her womans curiosity was piqued,
and she resolvedt to unrayel the riddle. So in the
evening, when the porter, young bow, brought
said, "My boy would you like TO earn five

OF course he had no objection to do so, and
only wanted to know in what way he could do it.

Reliable Crop statistics.

It will be remembered by all who have
noted the foreign market reports, how
little dependence could be placed upon
them, and how oftimes our farmers have
been informed that the wheat crops Of
Europe were far belw the average, and
that necessarily there must be q large
demand from the United States to supply
the deficit; and how, in consequence farm-
ers have held on to their crops, looking
and expecting higher prices, and how
they failed to obtain higher prices, and
lost largely by holding on This was
especially the case In 1868 The wheat
crop OF Eurure WIS reported AZ short,
and farmers were advised to hold ON for
higher prices than current rates at har-
vest-time, because the necessities of
Europe would certainly soon give them
a price for all their wheat that would
fill their pockets to overfowing with
golden eagles. Many farmers held on
and found, when too late, that the report
ed short crops of Europe was blunder,
to call it by no harsher name; that, on
the contrary, they were as good if not
superior to the average yield, and there
was no demand for foreign supplies. To
obviate this difficulty of obtaining correct
reports of the condition of cereals or other
crops raised in countries which come in

1t is stated that the Government will
Withdraw its troops from Arizona Terri
tory. Since its first occupation by whites,
Indian troubles have been constant and
unceasing AS there are but few settlers
in the Territory, and as the greater por-
tion of the country is barren desert, fit
only for savages, affording little CT no in
ducements for white settlement and culti-
vation it is deemed advisable to with
draw the troops sent there at great ex-
pense aud no profit. IF there are rich
minerals to be found in her barren

ever ready to take all chances necessary

they place very little reliance on the
