The culture of wheat, by far the
most Importance of our bread crops, is
a subject of universal interest. AS soils
constantly sown to wheat will in time
lose the elements favorable to its sue
cessful production unless they are re-
stored by expensive fertilizers, it has
become a question of some interest
whether lands on which wheat will
naturally grow are likely to be found
within the area of civilization in years
to come. It is well known that virgin
soils, if rich and favored with proper
climatic influences, almost always pro-
duce good crops of wheat; but in few
years the constant drain of the constitu-
ent elements of the grain from the soil
exhausts its productiveness so lar as
this crop is concerned, and to restore
its fertility resort must be had 10
manures, rotation OF crops, or other
means familiar to agriculturists, Inc
principal production OF wheat IN the
early DAYS of the country was from the
alluvial .landsFalong the Connectlcut,
Hudson, Delaware and Susquehanna
rivers and their tributaries. Then Ohio,
Michigan and Indiana, became in their
turn the great wheat-producing States,
and as the wheat culture there declined
in importance it increased in districts
further West. The Chicago Tribune,
in an article reviewing the progress of
wheat culture in this country, shows
that the line of supply is still moving
steadily westward. During the period
embraced between the years 1865 and
1872, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Missouri, although grow
ing immensely in population and in
general productiveness, fell off in their

"A Western correspondent gives n
vivid account Of the effect some unox-
pected testimony had upon an attend
ant in the court room. He describes
fine scene thus: every eye was di-
rected toward him, and as the astonish-
ing testimony fell hot from the burning
lips of the reader, a curious pink was
seen to form over his ears, gradually
deepening and creeping over his cheeks
toward his nose. As the red flush
iourneyed toward that organ, the blush
on the ears faded, and n dreadful pallor
took its place, and this also began 20

If the children of my day were
taught, among other foolish things, to
to dread, if not despise, the Jews, a
very different lesson was impressed up
on my young heart. There was but
one family of the despiscd children of
the house of Israel resident in Boston
the family of Moses Michael Hays;
man much respected, not only on ac-
count of his large wealth, but for his
many personal virtues and the high cul-
ture and the great excellence of his
wife, his son Judah, aud his daughters,
especially Catherine and SlOwey. His
house, far down iu Hanover street
then one of the fashionable streets of
the town, was the abode of hospitality;
and his family moved in what were then
the first circles of society. He and his
truly good wife were hospitable, not to
the rich alone, but also to the poor
Many INDECENT families were fed pretty
regularly from his table. They would
come especially after his frequent din
ner-parties, and were sure to be made
welcome, not to the crumbs only, but
to ampler portions of the food that
might be left. Always, on Saturday,
he expected q number of friends to

always spread, and loaded with luxu-
ries of the season and he loved to see
it surrounded by few regular visitors
and others especially invited. My faith
er was a favorite guest. He was re-
garded by Mr.. Hays and his whole fam
lily as a particular friend, their chosen
counselor in times of perplexity, and
their comforter in the days of their
affiiction. My father seldom failed to
dine at Mr.. Hays on Saturday, and Of
ten took me with him q; for he was sure
/ should meet refined company there.
Both Uncle and Aunt Hays (for so /
called them) were fond of children,
particularly of me and was permitted
to stay with them several days, and
even weeks, together. And l can new

their conscientious, care of me. / was

ings and their prayers-and was made
to feel that they worshiped the Un-

OF course, I grew up without any pref

ionists2because they did not believe
as my father and my mother believed.

Life in Stockholm,

/ do not know how Stockholm would
strike people who have seen Venice; to
me it was altogether new and fascinat-
ing. Gardens everywhere sloping down
to the edge of the water and filed with
people, tiny steamers plying hither and
thither, close at hand not to speak of
larger vessels which go to greater dis
tances, naturally give to the whole
scene a very animated aspect. From
the approach to Stockholm by the river
its full grandeur is seen. The princi-
pal points of interest are the city prop
er and the royal palace; the intersect-
ing water fills up the whole picture.
From the Baltic, it appears, if possible,
to greater advantage and fine view
of it may be obtained from the garden
of the Mosebacke, which is situated on
one of the loftiest hills of the Soder-
malm. The public buildings are not
numerous, but they are so placed as to
be seen to the greatest advantage, and
from the circumstance add greatly to
the imposing effect of the city. Though
the principal inhabitants leave Stock
holm during the hottest months of
summer, enough remain to make the
gardens lively in the evening. The
Diurgarden, one of the prettlest, which
has the best band, and this season, in
addition, a Hungarian band of cele-
brated performers, is generally well fill
ed, and to a new conner presents a very
spirited scene. Walters thread their
way amidst endless marble tables, bear
ing aloft trays with coffee and ices,
granite ice especially, and liquors and
Swedish punch, through throngs of
visitors. The people, who have been
called the French of the North, do not
gesticulate as in France, but a murm1r
of voices accompanies the music, and
the language, which is almost as soft as
the italian, makes this pleasant. Gen
tlemen walk in and out among the
groups of ladies, seeking for those they
especially desire to notice, and having
found them, take off their hats with
graceful sweep which hitherto I have
only seen accomplished by Swedish
gentlemen, As far as living out-of-
doors, the Swedes, though inhabitants
of cold climate, resemble the south
ern nations, and spend very little time
at home; indeed, our idea of home,
from nv observation, is much more I'M
derstood by the Danes than the Swedes,
and domestic virtues are less cultivated
by the latter than the former. Temple
