THE MAGIC OF KINDNESS.
How light word IN friendshiP's ts.es
Can make the bosom glow "'.
How light m act, when understood.
Can make the feelings dow.
A gesture. look, or whispered word
or sadness may beguile,
And ohi . paradise unlosds,
And SUMMER sun-byams smile.
The matchiess grace thak giides along
The dsuces' mary way.
The gorgeous blush that giows around
Soit fashions bright array.
I've seen these In the laughing eye,
And in the qucenly form;
But still they had NO magic like
That one word, True AND wARx.
I've seen one smile, oh sweet beneath
The melancholy moon
I've seen her move in splendor through
Tue golden hours Of noon.
Her sunny smile, her witChing grace,
Might make the poet dream,
And give to the magic OF his song
A bright and holy gleam.
I do not heed those giffed charms,
But oh! 1 feel those kindly words
Drop from her lips like glowing blossoms
From their qlsering stems.
'Tis like the summers evening dew
That gently bathes the flower;
From heart to heart it softly steals,
With soul-subdring power.
IT'S like the song Of dreaming birds,
That wake amid their lay,
And marvel at the gitsh "a song,
And sweetly sing away.
The music of o kind word falls
Soswectly on the ear,
The soul doth wish that every sense
The b!issful sound could hear.
There Is voice that always speaks
In words most truly Kind,
Ask, and receive, that voice cntre.ts--
oh! seek and ye shall lnd.
The same that cltfncd the raging sea,
When waves rolled mountain high;
The same that babe the trembling crew,

The Wheat Market.

From the New York Tribune
The situation in wheat just now 10 an
anomalous one. and the trade generally
seem to pause with failing confidence
in the future; no doubt the disord.red
state of finances has done much to pro-
duce this result, but the chief influence
at work is the temporary overbur lening
with supplies; our letters from abroad
have been OF the most positive charac-
ter, ard those from France have limited
at, il they have not openly expressed,
the fear that we should not have enough
wheat in the world to supply it's needs
before the harvest OF 1874; We know
OF a prominent and geserslly conserva-
tive house in France having written at
the era OF highest prices, several weeks
ago, that they anticipated a material
appreciation OF values as The season ad =
vaLced: France, instead Of exporting
100000 quarters, will require mini
mum OF 5,000,000-difference 7,000,-
600; Belgium, Holland. and Switzerland
will want an extra 1000 000 and Fog.
land an extra 100000, or total OF
100000 more quarters than were iarn-
ished them last year" Tais exhibit is
startling. but while it seems wide oil the
mark in the face OF declining values
thus early, We must bear in mind the
hereto ore general conviction OF great
quantities needed to supply the vacuum
10 European granaries; the wants OF
Europe are unquestionshly great, and
because high prices have called upon
the seas temporary movement in
bresdstuffs qRite extraordinary in vol
ume, it must be plain TO casual OBJ
server that the movement cannot be
continued in anything like present pro-
portions Europe wants wheat, and
wants it in immense quantities until
another harvest; but at the start the ex-
porting countries OF the world have 10
the utmost taxed their energies to hurry
forward. aud the volume has been 80
great, with the increase of farmers
deliveries abroad, that foreign operators
have taken fright. Winter is near al
hand, ard we shall be surprised if, when
the ice king locks up inland navigation
and the exports OF Atlantic ports decline
materially, the operators of England
and France are not again pleading Tor
supplies at a time we cannot give them
in desired quantities. Most tnoughtiul
people feel that the importing countries
Of the Old Word have made laments
bic mistake in not encouraging con-
tinous movement OF wheat to the sea-
board and on the seas while it may BE-
had before winter locks it from their
immedi.te grasp. The exports tor the
week h~ve been l,7S5 2l5 bushels
