The Minnesota Tribune of April IL says:
minnesota farmers have pretty generally
disposed of their surplus wheat, and it is safe
to say that they have realized, on an average,
dollar bushel on all they have sold.
Prices have ruled from six to twelve cents
higher this Winter than they did last the
Winter has been open, the sleighing excel
lent, so that there has been no reasonable ex-
cuse for farmers holding their wheat over.
Most of them, we are glad to know, have
sold, got their money, paid some Of their
debts, and made more extensive preparations
than usual for putting in crops this year. The
wheat crop Of 1878 was the salvation of Min
nesota during the panic which swept over the
land, and We come cut OF a financially hard
Winter in FAR better condition than we were
in year ago, when there was no panic"

GETTING ACQUAINTED

Mrs. j. Il. Lyman, the graceful writer
of the Home column i'll the New York
Tribune says:
The best way ioS any man or woman to
become acquainted with the best society
in their town. is to Join the Sunday school
and attend it regularly. If possible, at
tend church also. If there is sociable
or sewing society Join that: and be as reg
ular in attendance as you can. In every
church there is always work enough for
those who are willing to do it, and these
will soon find themselves together and IN
the forefront of the community. In the
Sunday school there is almost always an
absent teacher whose class may be taken
until one is formed for the new applicant;
or she may enter the old ladies' class, OF
which there is at least one in every live
church organization. 1t is no use to hang
back and wait for every door to be
opened; put your own shoulder to it and
push it open.
1t is very difficult matter for mother
with small children TO give much time to
society; but for her own sake she should
every week, at least once, get away for
few hours from the narrowing and fret
ting cares of the nursery into a different
atmosphere. OAHU W uo thO OehoA
day: Il never make acquaintances in
travelling; / wish / could" Said an
other: II get acquainted with every
body. / talk to the women who sweep
the ferry-boats, and to any decent person
that happens to sit by me in the cars. l
find every human heart is human, and
that / can learn something / didn't know
before from every new acquaintance, or
communicate information that may be
valuable to her." We are most of US too
apt to stand on our dignity and wait for
advances from others; to indulge q eau
tious disposition, and criticise where we
should commend The cultivation of a
genial, charitable, benevolent spirit, will
not injure any of US, and will certainly
benefit the community in which we live,
and add constantly to the number of our
friends.
