An investigation of the condition of the win

the crop as a whole to be much below the status

areas of winter wheat. amounting in round
numbers to 500, 600 acres, though that portion
of winter killed and to be replanted in other
crops may be equal in the West to the enlarge
ment of the planted area. This increase is small
in the Middle States, considerable in Illinois
and Missouri, and proportionately largest in
the Gulf States and in Kansas, reaching 90 per
cent. in the Southwest.

family of sons, James, John, Joseph
Wesley and Fletcher, who founded the
great publishing house in New York
which bears their name. They
were sons of substantial farmer, and at
the age of Is, John and his brother
James were apprenticed to printers in
New York. Afterward they established
themselves in business, at first perform
ing the greater part of the press work
and composition with their own hands,

house in America. Wesley and Fletcher

WE sometimes meet with men who
seem to think that any indulgence in an
affectionate feeling is weak. They will
return from journey, and greet their
families with a distant dignity, and move
among their CT ldren with the Geld and
lofty splendor of an iceberg surrounded
10y its broken fragments. There is hardly
more unnatural sight on earth than
one of these families without q heart. 4
father had better extinguish boys eyes
than take away his heart. Who that has
experienced the Joys of friendship, would
not rather lose all that is beautiful in
natures scenery than be robbed Of the
hidden treasures of his heart. Cherish,
then, your hearts best affections In
dulge in the warm and gushing emotions.
of filial, fraternal love.

THE yEYTWORLD.

The next world There is something
very terrible to some minds in the idea
of leaving all they have enjoyed and most
valued, and going away to the cold and
silent grave. They cannot hear it. They
turn away from the grim spectre, they
flee from the unwholesome thoughts that
would intrude themselves upon them.
They cannot bear to be alone-would
have any one, 10 matter whom, with
them, rather than remain in solitude.
They strive to drive away the thought
which presses on them, reminding them
that the days are passing-passing that
the hour is approaching when the soul
and body must part, when time will be
the shadow and eternity the substance.
1t is with the life of such as it is with
ship that passes over the waves of the
sea, which, when it is gone by, the trace
thereof cannot be found, neither the
pathway of the heel in the waves. Or as
when bird has flown through the air
there is 10 token of the way to be found;
as when an arrow Is shot at mark it
parts the air, which Immediately comes
together again. So these pass away like
a shadow their life great mistake.

Good news comes over the ocean for
those who fain would cross it but for the
dreaded Made mer that the excursion en-
tails. 1t is said that the famous Bessemef
ship, with its great length and swinging
cabin, has made full trial of the stormy
English Channel, and that in o heavy
sea. "The pitching. says a correspon-
dent who was on board, "was almost
imperceptible, and the roll was as easy
as lullaby and this was when there
was q rough cross-sea, running SO high
that the pilot could not be landed, and
with a strong northeast wind blowing.
Several partial experiments have been
made with her before, but when her
arrangements were incomplete. This.
time, say the nautical men, it Is fully
demonstrated that the channel nay be
crossed, in the worst weather, without
any disturbance of the stomachic equi-
ibrium of the most sensitive. And if
the channel, why not the Atlantic, the
Pacific-nay, the vast chain Of seas which
circle round the globe Bessemer's
principle, it would seem, has only to be
developed for the prolonged navigation
of the ocean to achieve the result of
wholly abolishing sea-sickness; and the
sequel will surely be anxicusly watched
by thousands of stay-at-homes, who
would otherwise be indefatigable tour
lists. But whether we ought to rejoice
in the increased number of Americans
that will flock abroad when the Bessemer
saloon becomes feature in all our ocean
steamers, is very questionable. From
the reports of the conduct of Americans
in Europe that continually reach US, it
would perhaps be better if the terrors
of the ocean voyage were multiplied
rather than reduced.
