Dip deep thy pen into my heart,
Oh, angel scribe, and write that
May know myself; will not cry
Nor weep. Dip deep; will not start"
Nhe angel dipped deep in her heart,
And drew his dripping pen and wrote;
And, though her knees together smote,
She did not cry, nor weep, nor start.
He wrote one word in many ways,
All Quaint, but beautiful, until
His fair white roll was full. and still
Her modest eyes she did not raise.
Is it all written % "Even so.
Behold!" She saw not, for her sight
Was dim with pain and in despite
Her woman's tears began to flow.
Then through her tears she looked again,
And saw the world all written fair;
And smiled and sighed, and with her hair
Toyed, crying: % Love 2 but love is pain;
Yet Thou, dear Christ has shown me how
To die for love; let others wear
Life's roses in their waving hair,
Irvine Thy Thorns about my brow
The angel bent his stately head,
And bade her bless him as he bowed:
: For though my name and state be proud,
am no peer to thee" he said.

The Markets,

Speaking of the prospects governing
the wheat market for the present season.aIe
New York Produce Weekly says the p,sof
1915 was probably much larger than the esti-
mate of 247,000,000 bu. and was probably
265, ooo, 600 to 275, o0O, 900 bu. The acreage Of
the crop of 1876 was larger than that of 1875
California held more surplus this year than
last. The United States and Canada will
probably have to spare OF the crop of 1876,
and crops of previous years, u, oo0, 900 bu.
The spring-wheat crop of Iowa, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Minnesota, and Nebraska, is estimat-
ed to be about two thirds Of last years crop;
but the wheat is generally of better quality
than last year, and has been harvested in fine
condition.
1t is thought that the new crop OF spring
wheat will move slowly out of the growers
hands at the present ruling prices. There ap-
pears to be a considerable amount of wheat of
the crops of 1874 and 1875 still remaining in
the hands of farmers or spectators for rise
The Wlnter-wheat crop east OF the Rocky
Mountains, it is expected, will not come up
to the average yield of previous years.
Spain has harvested an abundant wheat
crop in. 1876, said to be the best crop in many
years. The Russian wheat crop will probabl y
be full average one, with probable average
surplus OF 100000 600 bu. for export.
The importing countries will have of home
grown wheat enough to carry consumption

the exporting countries shall force their sur

average of previous years. However much

is the most picturesque city we have
vet seen. ] do not know what we
may find in India, or China, or Ja-
pan, butiR Europe there is nothing
like it, on the borders of Europe
and Asia. It derives its character, as
well as its mixed population, from
both. 1t is a singular compound of
nations. / do not believe there is q
spot IN the world where you meet a
greater variety Of races than on the
long bridge across the Golden Horn,
between Pera and Stamboul. Here
are the Representatives of all the
types of mankind that came out of the
Ark the descendants of Shenl, Ham,
and Japheth-Jews and Gentiles !;
Turks and Greeks and Armenians !;
t'Parthians and Medes and Elamites,

the slightest apparent consciousness
Of superiority on one side, OF of il
