COULDN'T SEE lT-The worthy

Grafton Of boys in certain town in
Tennessee, had occasion recently to
correct a little boy named Johnny.
Now Johnny had what is called tho
the suks because he was whipped,
aud in order to convince him he was
justly punished, his teacher made tho
following argument
"Now, Johnny, suppose you were
riding big horse to water, and bad q
keen switch in your hand, aud oil at
once tho horse were TO stop and re.

John stifiled up lis sobs for n mo-

But, Johnny, suppose he wouldn't

"l'd get down and lead him, sir"
"Aud what il he were obstinate,

"Why, Id take oil his bride and

Johnny could not be made TO see tho
necessity Of using the switch.

Look Aiott.

Take the trials God has sent you.
Smooth the wrinkles from your brow,
Half the triiles that oppress you
Matter not week from now
If you know not how TO bear them,
Ask Him lie will teach you how.
Dc not troubled over careful,
Lest the notes dim duty's light,
And In looking after trifles,
Graver things pass out of sight,
Aud In cleaning household vessels,
Fail to keep your own heart bright.
What " childish hands are busy,
Strcwing flowers, or tracking clay,
Over floors just secured 80 nicely 7
Little footprints wash away;
Stanis and tracks Of merry children
Are not sins--ah, let them play
True, your husband likes things tidy,
But he likes all cheerful, too
He forgives slight confusion,
Squares IL with smile from you,
Then spicy bit Of gossip
Makes him feel as good as new.
Men, though wanting all things cory,
Don't object TO trash and noise
Hearing echoes Of their childhood
In the creaky boots Of boys
And think they like the music
OF their noisy drums and toys.
My own husband, heaven bless him,
When | work with might and main,
Washing, sweeping, busting. securing
Doorsteps, floor and window-pane,
Bids me stop and take things easy,
'Clear the dust from of your brain"

The Wheat Crop.

The june report of the statistician
of the Dcparcnt of Agriculture, now
in press, is exhaustive in its treat
mcnt of wheat statistics. lis based
upon reports nom 903 contieG, of
which 100 indicate average condition,
270 higher than average and l3i low
condition. ranging from 100, the
standard Ola medium prospect, down
TO 10, and in few cases down TO On
tire failure. The state averages are
calculated, not simply from the mum
Der Of counties reported, but from
the comparative production of the
several counties. These 9O3 reports
conclude very largo proportion OF
the wheat area of the country.
Tho summary Of tho returns OF
area shows II reduction Of two poI

of spring wheat in States which grow
that variety mainly is represented as

is scarcely known, reports "sprlng

winter wheat constitutes two-thirds
of the crops, gives lOl for winter and
75 for spring. Kansas, where spring
wheat predominates, returns liO foi
spring and 81 for winter. The States
for growing winter wheat are Con

Pouring Motion Iron Over a
Man

Albany has the latest horror-ono
of the most trightrul wo ever read.
The Express tells the story.
Yesterday afternoon two workmcn
employed in Ransom's foundry. nam
ed Thomas Sbeehoy and Nicholas Sbil-
iard, had an alteration while tho
work of casting was going on, which
had fearful result. Shechey, acci-
dcutally or otherwise, dropped from
his ladle little hot iron on ShilIord's
foot, and burned it. Sblf)rd ran TO a
tub Of water and plunged his foo in.
to it, and somewhat eascd the pain.
lie then returned. and taking a posi-
ton in tho passage way between tho
moulds, as Shcehey camc along with
lailc full of molten iron, knocked
Sheehry down. According to tho a.
legations which shechcy makes, Shil.
iarj, after knocking him down, pick
ed up tho ladlo containing molten iron,
and poured its contents upon Shee-
hcy's body from the chin down, and
then struck him with the ladlc. Shce-
hey was rendered frantic by the ter.
ribIe agony which he experienced. and
ran to tho door, when he was seized,
aud his burning garments torn from
him by other persons present The
whole fore part Of his body was buru-
ed in q aterrible manner, so that the
flesh pealcd of lie was taken to his
home, No 239 Grand street, and DR..
Mosher called to attend him. His
recovery is doubtful. Shilfard was
arrested by Officer Sweeney aui Nil.

The Heat Of the Day.

There must be those who bear the heat
And burder on with weary feet
They toll along noontide way,
Nor rest when comes the fall Of day.
Through dewy morns. through tender ewes.
Loves lobor keeps them binding sheaves
Which no man cares for One on high
viii count their earnings by-and-by.
o patient heart heroic will
That bends TO work such strength and
skill
The angels sometimes stoop TO ask
The meaning Of thy daily task.
God knows, beyond an angels ken,
The grandeur God bcstows on men
Whom sorrow. failure, pain, aud loss
But crown anew vt every cross.
