exhibiting it to all newcomers, and expatiat-
ing on his suAerings. Suddenly he coughed,
and missed the thorn. Impossible to persuade
him it had not flown into his mouth and been
swallowed. "Will it be as sore here as it was
here 2" he asked mournfully, touching bis
stomach and his finger alternately.
His marvellous simplicity extended to every
affair of life. He, who made many rich, was
poor himself. His books brought him very
little the tiny pension allowed him by the
State and his free stall at the theatre constitut-
ed his wealth. But he never thought Of
money in that, too, he had all a child's per-
feet trustfulness. Some spirited attempts were
made to marry him one, in particular, by a
handsome peasant-girl, who wrote him a love-
letter, and took it to him herself. When he had
read it, she urged her cause in words,-'1
would be so good to YOU" she said az would
take such care of you'll don't doubt it,"
he replied; "but, my good girl, I don't want
to be married" He had a grand passion, he
used to say, once, and it was enough for all
his life; and then be would weave some Of his
purest, brightest, most beautiful and graceful
fancieS round the image of-Jenny Lind.
Some mysterious affinity existed between
him and The h%Ower-world. He would handle
flowers and whisper to them, and they would
take wondrous combinations at the bidding Of
his big, fat fingers. When he held flowers, or
presented them, he became almost graceful,
and he had a floral language all his own.
A quick observer might trace Andersen's read
ing of character, or rather the revelation of his
true child-instinct, in the flowers which he
would present to the ladies whom he selected
for this coveted honour.
He sleeps we'll in the city which loved and
honoured him so truly, whose every Jay life
is full of him and of associations with him,
whose every familiar object has been lent new
meaning by his extraordinary fancy, and his
simple, %trustful, child-like heart. His memory
will be kept green throughout a long period of
remembrance, by plentiful traditions of one
whose character was as unique as his genius.

we'll everywhere, and though it is not yet
entirely out of danger from the worm,
which may appear as late as the 16th'of
August, it promises remarkably well.
We doubt if the area planted in cotton is
much greater than last year but so much
corn and meat will be raised at home
that the net return of this years crop will
be greater, both to the planters and to the
laborers who cultivate OF shares, than
ever before since the war.
Unless, therefore, unexpected misfor-
tunes should overtake us, we have before
us a year of general abundance and the
material for a revival of prosperity. And
this to US just at a time when the
country seems to be slowly but certainly
recovering from the prostration of its in
d%ustries, and when we may expect it to do
the most good.
All the reports of the condition of the
wheat crop touch the winter wheat, which
is generally somewhat over half the whole
crop ; but of the spring wheat WE cannot
have trustworthy news for two weeks to
come, and it is, therefore, not quite too
late yet for US to have in common with
the people of Europe our W taste Of
calamity. Our supply is, therefore, not
yet certain, but all the indications as to
what we may anticipate are excellent.
If England and France must buy this
year more than the usual proportion Of
their breadstafTs, as is now pretty certain,
on account of floods and untimely rains,
it is as fortunate for them as for US that
our crops promise q harvest so abundant.

THE BIG BONANZA.
From tie Herald. J

BY the reports given in another column
of the condition OF the various crops of the
country it will be seen that, with some
Attachments such as we have already refer
red to in the hay crop, the general product
is one that would be satisfactory in any
year, but must be a cause for rejoicing in
a year when the markets of the world
seem open to us. Our twelve hundred
million bushels of cereals will find the
world in want, and the farmers will no
longer have occasion to grumble at the
insuficiency of money. There is always
plenty of money for him who has some
valuable commodity with which to buy
money /; and the farmer of the West, pros
porous in the possession of what the world
must pay him for, will be in a position
to see clearly through the shallow devices
of the politicians who have pretended to
explain bis poverty on the theory of the
want OF money to effect the exchanges ;
when, in fact, the trouble was that there
were no exchanges to be effected. With
all Europe clamoring for his grain he will
see that the pretended want of money ''to
move the crops" is o snare, and that the
currency in circulation is ample for our
wants. This burst of prosperity will
probably whip the democrats in Ohio, and
may startle them like an earthquake in
some other places. In many States
wheat, oats and barley are already harvest
ed, and the returns have been unusually
abundant. Farther north, where the har-
vest of these grains is just beginning, the
promise is unusually good. In some parts
OF New York, Ohio and Indiana the wheat
is light, the hard winter having killed the
winter sown seed. But take the whole
country through, and we find that not only
is the yield very great and the area sown
greater than last year, but the quality Of
the grain is surprisingly good. From
Texas to Minnesota and Dakota, and from
Maine to the Rocky Mountains, the far
mers are made happy by full crops; and
even California, which has suffered M
what from drought, promises to send out
to tks Eastern world a surplus of three
hundred thousand tons of wheat.
AS for the South, its planters have this
year given more attention than ever before
to3grain and meat, and with a result which
wall make them happy and put money in
aheir pockets The cotton crop is looking

Love and Marriage.

That love is the leading element of the highest happiness in mar riage; that love, while it lasts, covers multitude of errors, pri- vations, misfortunes-even sins I do not doubt. But the question is, how far is love, when unaccom- panied by any of the other condi- tions, itself a justification of mar riage? True love works wonders but it cannot prevent the physical and mental ailments which devel- op themselves in people of feeble organism. It cannot supply a lack of intelligence, a want of force, in either husband or wife; and, as all housekeepers know, it cannot make the pot boil" Love alone, when we consider its pro- verbal instability and the small chance it has of surviving under bleak conditions, is certainly an insufficient capital upon which tc commence the partnership of mar riage. This is true of even the highest and strongest love; how much more so of the nasty anC passionate attachments which leat to so many thousands ofmarriages
 There is an infinity of false sentiment about the passion O
 love. While I would not cast , doubt upon the existence of noble love, of devotion, and of passion which no sorrow or trial can tire which is ever refined and strength
 ened by suffering, yet the value the office, the very nature of lov' in an ordinary life is greatly mis
 understood. Love is the most ex
 aggerated passion in literature
 It holds, in our imaginations, ; position which it does not hold il the life of one man or woman in
 thousand. Being the suprem, passion of modern art" says re
 cent writer, ''it becomes necessar, to sound high it's praises" w, should suppose, if we read onl,

Economy.

Economy is the frugal use of money or other means. Itis good thrifty management generally. Now, how many of us are really economical and saving in the management of our farms; very few indeed. Food of every kind is often wasted: Fodder and hay is thrown out in a muddy lot, where gang of hungry hogs run over it and mix it up with the mud, and the poor horse or COW looks wistfully for more through the cracks of the almost empty crib. The manure which might be made to enrich acres of land is left to be washed away or remain an unsightly object in our lots.
 Then if we keep more hogs or other stock than we can keep well, that is, always in good order, it is a lack of economy. Many man has wasted his corn feeding his hogs to keep them alive through the winter and then let half or all of them die for want of corn through a long dry summer, when if he had kept only fourth or third of the number he might have had pork to sell and keep. Again how much money is worse than wasted for whisky; and tobacco in all it's disgusting forms. Oh. If everybody could be induced to spend the money which is now wasted on whisky, snuff, tobacco and cigars, for food and raiment for the suffering poor, what a change would "come over the spir- it of their dreams" as well as over the faces of the now destitute ones. THAT would be economy indeed. Who will try it just fol six months just for an expert ment? T.

The Farmers Income.

The man who works for a fixed salary of course knows just what is his income, and frequently ev- cry one else who has any interest in the matter knows also. Mer- chants and men in most classes of business can determine at the close of each year what has been their income, gross as well as net. It is not so with the farmer. It is very difficult for him to tell just what his gross income has been, and not easy to tell what were the net profits of any years work.
 It is not always in mind that, in an unusual degree, the farm furnishes large number of things which are properly a part of the farmers income, and which men in other callings find to take a large part of their income, but on the farm it is impossible to tell what they amount to. The farm furnishes q house, the breadstuffs meats, poultry, eggs, butter, veg etables, fruits, used by the family and hired laborers, and generally the fuel. In addition to thi, there is the use of horses and car riage, which amounts to q consid
 erable sum with many families living in towns or cities. Could

novels and poetry, that the one thing interesting in life is the re- lation of the sexes and the anxie- ties of pairing. Many young peo- pie are so dizzy with love they are unable to go on with the other in terests of life. They cannot see men as they are, engaged in their daily work, pursuing their various ends and living multifarious life. of which love is but a single ele- ment. Our regard for the passion oversteps the healthy limit, and becomes morbid; we judge of it untruly; we attend to it's prompt ings with absurd expectations; we teach ourselves that the passion is uncomfortable, and regard it as a kind of fate; and we glory in the supremacy O1 nrst love, as II the heart did not require train ing as varied as the intellect. Considering the widespread mis- cry which our misconceptions of love have wrought, we might doubt whether this passion was not the greatest misfortune, as, we'll as the greatest. blessing, in the world. We may conclude, in in spite of Chaucer, that Love's allegiance is not the only thing needful to make a permanently happy marriage.-Galaxy.

Sheep Raising and Dog Rais-
 ing.

Which is the more profitable to raise sheep.or dogs seems to re- main an un nsettled question, for a few still continue to raise sheep, tho the majority raise only dogs of the very poorest variety.
 At this very time, when child ren go supperless to bed, thous- ands of mean dogs, worse than useless, are perambulating the country, ready to snatch the meat and bread the destitute so much need.
 Much is being said and written about the great advantages of raising sheep.
 Wool and mutton are always cash articles, and moreover, no animal can be so cheaply raised >as the sheep. Then why don't we have more of them? Simply because the cur ranks the lamb. Men love dogs and dogs love men, and will divide the last crust and piece of meat with each other, and so what are we going to dc about it? Shall we pass law re. quiring every man who keeps dog to obtain a license and pay two or five dollars, and appropri ate the money to remunerate those whose sheep have been kill. ed by these vile butchers? SOME THING ought to be done to en- courage the raising of sheep here for it is a fine country for the purpose, beyond a doubt. The Oranges would do well to take ur the subject, and discuss it thor oughly for it is of vast import ance, dogs being about the only hindrance. T.

' furnished by the farm and used on it, be ascertained, the amount would surprise many who have never thought it an important part of the yearly proceeds from the farm.
 It is manifestly unjust to the farm to refuse to take these things into account, only crediting the farm with what is sold from it, and then compare this with the income of man in other business. A residence for himself and fami- ly is not, necessarily, a part of farm; just as it is not, necessa- rily, a part of a store or physi- cian's office. It would be unfair for grocer, who lived in the same building with his store to claim that the rent of the latter was what he paid for the building, and give this as a reason why he should charge a higher price for his goods.
 A merchant saves to his family the profit on the goods they get from his store; a mechanic saves something in the same way;a doc tor saves the "doctors bill;" a clergyman's family usually pays no pew rent, but none of these things nearly approach in amount what the farm glves to the farm CTS family.
 If farmer would imagine his residence removed off his farm, deducting its value from the value of the farm, and crediting the lat ter with everything produced on it he would find that the receipts would make a much more credit able showing than before. Of course the house rent should be charged to the farm.
 We have no disposition to at tempt to convince any one that farming yields great profits, but there is no good to come from making it appear a worse busi- ness than it really is, and when a farmer talks about a city man getting $2,0O0 year, leaving the inference that this is to be com pared with his own net profits, he is making his business worse than it is. When the city resident has paid out of his income for all the the things which the farmer gets almost without thought, from his farm, he has very much reduced the sum. Nor will it do to say that the prices he pays are toe high, his expenditures extrava- gant, and his whole life artificial, for it is simply because of this artificial life that he receives the salary or income which seems so large to the farmer
 There is another thing to be placed to the credit of farming as a business; the fact that much oi the work done does not give its full return year after year, but brings a return year after year sometimes in money, often in in creased comfort and ease of living or in an increased value of the property when at last it is to bt disposed off, Western Rural.
