Green be the turf above thee,
Friend Of my better days!-
None knew thee, but to love thee,
Nor named thee, but to praise
Tears fell, when thou vert dying,
From eyes unused to weep!
And long, where thou art lying,
Will tears the cold turf steepl-
When hearts, whose truth was proven,
Like thine, are laid in earth,
There should wreath be woven,
To tell the world their worth -
When memory bids us weep thee,
Nor thoughts, nor words, are Free
The grief is fixed too deeply,
That mourns man like thee !"

The Death of a Rich Man.

A letter from London, in mentioning
the death of Mr. Thomas Barring, Of
Barring Brothers & Co., says: His
ordinary personal property, it is be-
lieved, will foot up at least $1O,OOO,-
600, besides $1,000,000 in pictures and
works or art. His nephew, Lord North
brook, now Viceroy of India, viii take,
the principal portion Of it, This Mr.
Barring has repeatedly refused the Chan
cellorship Of the Exchequer, and also
all titles offered him, preferring to
live and die plain Mr.. Barring. The
firm will be no weaker from his death,
but viii continue to enjoy, as it always
has enjoyed, the reputation Of being
the most responsible one in the king
dom, if not IN the world. Americans;
would do well,< when travelling abroad,
to take their letters of credit from such
house as this, rather than from such
mushroom establishments as the Bow
leses, as they need have no fear OF
waking up some morning and finding
their letters waste paper, and their de-
posts vanished"

Prof. HaTtz's Box Trick.
The New York Tribune saws ::

The New York Tribune says
" A respectable audience filed about
two thirds of the large hall of the
Cooper Institute Tuesday evening to
witness the now celebrated box trix of
Prof. Hartz. The Professor stepped
forward, carrying a thick green rug,
probably ten feet square. He said that
he had heard 1t alleged that he had a
confederate underneath the stage, and
to show that this was not true he
spread the rug upon the carpet, after
satisfying the spectators that it was
uncut. An unpainted box, about two
feet long and seventeen inches deep
and wide, was then carried upon the
stage and put down III the centre of the
rug. 1t had turnover lid, fastened at
the back with three common hinges, and
two stout iron hasps fitted to two sta
pies driven into the front of the box.
A few air-holes had been bored
through the top and sides. The box had
been put together with clinched nails,
the ends being bound with sheet-iron.
Three gentlemen from the audience
stepped upon the stage at the Pro-
lessons request, and having given the
box thorough examination, bound it
round and round in export fashion,
tying multiplicity of curious knots at
every possible place. Even the rope
handles were made use of, and the
hasps, after being placed over the
staples, were securely fastened by
taking turn through the latter. A
narrow red ribbon was tied tightly
about the first knot and sealed with
sealing wax. A canvas cover in the shape

Reports dated Dec. 1. received at the

in comparison with that of ~, as fol
lows In the States of Illinois, Minneso-
ia, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio, Tennessee,
Kansas, and Missouri, which produce
in the aggregate over one-half the en-
tire crop of the United States, total
loss of 20 2-10 per cent. The heaviest
loss is III Kansas, a. per cent, and the
hghtest in Wisconsin, II per cent. The
Illinois loss is nearly 39 per cent, Iowa
over 25 per cent, Ohio nearly % per
cent, and Missouri 80 1-2 per cent.
Returns relative to the total quaint
ty of pork fattened for market this
season, as compared with the last, in

and in Georgia and Arkansas, total
falling off of 10 per cent. OF this, H.
hnois loses 4 40 per cent, Ohio per
cent, Missouri $40, and Wisconsin
Z IL per cent. Correspondents state
that in order to supply the demand
from packers, the reserve of stock
hogs has been drawn upon quite ex-
tensively, and that as rule the supply
Of hogs fit for market is nearly or quite
exhausted at points of production.
Partial returns from Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Georgia, as to the acreage of
winter wheat this season, indicate an
increase in those States of $40 per
cent. over the acreage sown in the fall
of 1872. The condition is very much
more favorable than in Dec. 1872.
