I'm HIS VINEYARD.
BY ApDlE L. wYMAN.


There is never q way 80 narrow or snort,
But the Masters work is therei
There is something 30 do for his dear sake,
OR something to calmly bear
There are trials TO meet with Christian faith
And duties with Christian grace;
And there's Christian sweetness to every one
To be given in every place.
Their working dsys are never so hard,
Who find IN Christ a stay;
And DAYS of darkness are days OF light
When Jesus leads the way.
And the waiting days Of those who hope,
Are DAYS of quietnesS;
And the Drawing days OF those who trust,
Are days OF perfect peace.
There are flowcrets down in the valley low,
And over the mountain side,
Which never were praised by "a human voice,
Nerby human eyes deserted.
as sweet rs the breath OF the royal rose
Is the perfume they exhale;
And why they bloom, and whore they bloom,
The good Lord knoweth well.

The deficiency in imports this year from
Sept. Il to Nov. o, as compared with those
for the like period in 1872, is 79,O5S cwt. Of
flour, and 3,537,954 cwt. Of wheat, which
are equal to sos, 500 qrs. or GAO, 100 bush
els.
The deliveries in homegrown wheat in
the Kingdom from Sept. to Nov. 3, 1873,
have Appropriated 2,44S,4S2 qrS., against
2,4S0,012 qrs. for the corresponding period
in 1872, indicating deficiency of - $50
qrs., and leaving supply in the growers
hands of the estimated crop of 100000
qrs, Of 7,599,5lS qrS, to be delivered be-
tween Nov. 9, 1873, and Aug. 81, 1874.
The total deficiency in the supply from
Sept. to Nov. 9, 1873, including home
grown wheat and imports of foreign, as
compared with the corresponding period in
1872, is equal to 6,729,040 bushels.
The amount of wheat in transit for the
United Kingdom on the 10th Of Nov, 1873,
exclusive Of steamer shipments from Amer
lean Atlantic ports and the ports of the
Baltic, was 1879, 120 bushels, of which
G14,24S qrs, or 4,Q13,9Sl bushels are On
passage from Australia, South and North
Pacific ports. The most of this, nearly D.
100000 bushels, will be several months in
reaching its destination. leaving only D.
So bushels more, nearly available for
making good the 6,729,040 bushels def
cheney in the imports to Nov. ., 1873, as
compared with 1872. The amount of wheat
III transit for the United Kingdom on the
10Th Of Nov, 1872, was approximately TO-
100000 bushels.
The stock in London on the 1st of Nov,
1873, is reported 100000 to $4,000 qrs.
wheat and 100000 to 100000 b5ls. -four.
1t is probable that stocks in the United
Kingdom at the close OF December, 1873,
will be less than in 1872.
In 1872 France was an exporter Of wheat,
while this year she is an importer. The
difference in the exports from the United
Kingdom this year and last, as noted above,
shows the tendency Of diversion to the con-
tinent from the wheat-laden ships, nomi-
nally OH their passage for the United King
dom.
The shipments from Atlantic ports are
being diminished. Montreal has sent her
last ship for the season. Stocks at the sea-
board are comparatively small Of wheat,
and interior supplies by rail will be neceS-
sarily limited.

TENNESSEEASS ABROAD.

Judge H. was relating to his col
league. Hon. David n, the following
incident:
A Middle Tennessee ycoman, unused
to the demorafizing practices of the
city, and who had all his life been Inthc
habit of eating dinner just after the
blowing of he horn at noon, stopped
at the Ebbitt House in Washington,
where the dinner hours commence at
one O'Clock and closed at SIX 2. m. He
was troubled at having to wait from
twelve to one for his dinner, and us
soon as the door opened he dlned and
dincd heartily. Judge H. went to dim
ncr at six, and meeting Middle TcnneS-
see as the Judge went to dinner, he
said to him. Mr.. -, have you had
vour dinner?'' Yes, haven't you: L
didn't get nay dinner till late-about
one o'clock-and have just come out
from supper. 1t seems to me that 'the
meals come mighty close together
Mr.. n. after hearing this said: West
Tennessee can beat that. One of my
constituents sat down to the table at
the Ebbitt Houscat SIX, just before the
dinner hour had closed. The waiter
brought him a bill Of fare. What is
this? inquired West Tennessee. The
dinner bill Of fare said the waiter,
See here" said West Tennessee, Il
don't want to eat what's on this paper,
want a square supper But tins Is
dinner" said the waiter. "Weli, that
beats me, said West Tennessee. II re
been to dinner once to-day, about one
o'clock" And thereupon retired, swear
ing that they must be an o4tlandls3i
pe0ple to eat dinner after shutdown and
90 to bed without supper
Apropos to the above, and not to
sIirht East Tennessee, Crutchheid, who
st6ps at the Ebbitt, had eaten through
the main course on the bull OF fare
down to desert. He called for ice
cream. etc The waiter seized his plate
The member from the Chattanooga dis
trict asked the waiter what he meant
Said the waiter: "Iwant to give you q
clean plate "A clean plate sand

FILTRATION.

We had fingered out the season,
Far into the cooler days,
And thesyOtaries of Fashion
All had flown their different ways.
We had wondered down the sea-beach
With the moonlight DER us straying;
Listened to the night Winds whisperi
Wondered what the waves were saying
And again we stood together
Near the oceans ebb and flowing,
While the bushes of the sunset
On the wares were redly glowing
'Dearest,'' said she, hesitating,
''Ah! too long we both have tarrled,
Tomorrow we must part forever;
For, my darling; l am-married"
"Married!' L exclaimed, upstarting;
"Marriedl" murlnured with sigh;
"Then is this indeed parting,
For-my darling-sO am r."

AN HONEST MAN OF THE OLDEN
TINE.
Bowling Green (Ky) Democrat.

Bowling Green (Ky.) Democrat
Many years ago, about the year 1914,
Mr.. Campbell, citizen of Bowling Green,
came into possession Of mare, in the
course of a trade. Mr.. Campbell did not
need the mare and desired, therefore, to
sell her. One day he met Mr.. Thomas
Chapman, well-known citizen of the
county at that time, and offered to sell the
mare to him. Mr.. Campbell asked SG5 for
her. He induced Mr.. Chapman to take
look at her, who offered to give S45 for the
animal. The mare was taken home by the
new owner, who, after the expiration Of
several weeks, returned to town, and APP
preaching Mr.. Campbell, said Here is
$50 that | owe you on that mare" NO"
said Mr.. Campbell, ''you paid me for her
when you got her, the other day, and YOU
don't owe me anything" Mr.. Chapman
replied: 'Yes, but L paid you only $40,
when you asked SGj. L have tried the
mare, and found her to be worth all YOU
asked for her, and more too. You mast
take the additional twenty dOllarsS' Mr.
Chapman induced Mr.. Campbell to receive
The money, insisting that he was justly en-
titled to it. He could not be content with
keeping himself what he felt to be really
due TO another; and thus occurred an Incl
dent which illustrated the integrity of Mr.
Chapman no less than the common honesty
of those good old days.
