The receipts Of wheat at the principal

follows:

1876 49O2,Z,s

The visible supplies at the principal

1876 17,0S9,460
1875 l2,2Ol, ,7S4
These figures have Of course no reference
to the movement and stocks on the Pacific
slope.
1t will be noted that the receipts for the
first seven weeks of the current year were
less than half as large as for the CORES
ponding period of last year, and only
about 40 per cent. oft the receipts for that
time in 1875. The large falling-off in tn e
receipts, as compared with last yer is
supplemented by reduction of six million
bushels or about IS per cent of the visible
supply. 1t is true that one year ago, stocks
were everywhere excessively large; but the
fact that for some weeks past the visible
supply has steadily diminished, notwith-
standing an exceptionally dull trade, gives

Walking Papers.

1t isn't boys play to make a news
paper. Everybody can't do it, al
though most people think they can.
More excellent qualities of head and
heart arc required in an editor than
any other calling or profession in
the world, He talks to more people
than the pulpit does, and to more
people of all grades of life and all
shades of belief. If conscientious,
and a man who is not, has no bus
inoss in the editorial chair, he, feels
the responsibility as if it were n
mountain on his soul. He knows
that the welfare, moral growth and
peace Of 4hepoppnr5 5ity depopdlr lrages
4y upon iiis daiiy @Sslsiy iysdtIcsaas
ces. Many times does he draw his
pen through the lines which express
his sentiments, but which he fears
may be misunderstood, and do harm
to some of those whom he desires
to make better, and not worse. 1t
is no easy position; it is scarcely u
desirable one, and yet, if he happens
to express a sentiment which does
not suit the reader, the latter is un-
charitable enough to lose no time in
censuring him, The editor does not
always think as the reader does, If
he ever expressed sentiments except
such as the reader cherished, what
would be the object in taking the
paper? 1t is certainly foolish to pay
for a journal which contains simply
a rehash of what we have long be-
fore thought ourselves. But, reader,
when you are inclined to find fault
with the editor because he says
something that doesn't suit you, re-
member that you can't get paper
under the sun, if it amounts to any
thing, that will not sometimes say
things that you can't agree with.

M. Ponplaton did mol wait for a

Mr.. Popplston did not wait for a
second invitation.
On reaching the corner he looked
back, just in time to catch glimpse
Eofhis nephew going in.
Feeling very much like one that
ihad been raised toagreat hoightand
Eset down.very suddenly, Mr.. Popple-
ton went home.
Going up to his own room,. he
marched to the mirrow.

ing his fstat the reflection there,
syou are a fraud, a dolt, an idiot
tdonkey! You are a scoundrel of the
darkest dye, and if you were some.
body else Tdpunch your headp
Having thus relieved his fsnlisGs
he sat down.
Half an hour later he heard his
nephew's well-known step on the
walk. Rushing to the head Of the
stairs, he bawled out;
John, say I'm sick, that I'm out,
that l can't see anybody
But he was too late; Fred was in
the hall and half way up the stairs.
'Ah, unclep cried the young man,
with q merry laugh, that was cum
ningly contrived plot of yours; the
best joke I've heard yet! The cream
of it is that Rose thought you were
in earnest. You acted your part SO
naturally that it was some time be-
fore could make her understand
that you were only testing her love
for me. But she sees it all now
You found Rose as true as steel, eh,
uncle? and will make us both hap,
py by giving your consent to our
marriago?'
Mr.. Popplcton not only gave this,
but presented Rose, on her wedding
day, with house completely furnish
ed.
He seemed a little shy of her at
first, but this soon wore away, or
rather developed into the paternal
affection growing out of this mutual
relation, and the winning and love-
able qualities Of his nephew's wife.
This little episode in his life had
the good effect of making him more
distrustful of himself, more tolerant
of the follies and weakness of others.
And sometimes, as Rose looked back
upon it. this question arose in her
mind, which she never even sug-
gested to her husband; "Was he in
earncst?"

TIE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE
A Word on Hard Times.

Was there ever a period in the his
tory of our country when more ur-
gent necessity existed for the exer-
else of the recuporative energies Of
the people, and of the country than
at the present moment? Thousands
have been injured by the vicissi-
tudes of trade and the wheel of for
tune. The rich have become poor,
and the Independent have lost their
means of support. Under such try
ing circumstances how many are
dependent and inclined to think
that their chances are gone'by, that
the tide in their affairs has been at
its flood and has subsidized, and that
the future is dark and gloomy?
Not so, not so; time, faith and en-
crgy will accomplish everything
Such tribulations blessings in dis
guise) are beneficial to a country, for
adversely not only tests mans en-
ergies, but it rouses and excitos his
mind. He sees the necessity of ex-
traordinary struggle, and nerving
himself for the trials and tempta-
tions of life, rushes on boldly and in
most cases with success. The truth
is that experience, although severe,
is most excellent taskmaster
Our country is rich in soil, fertili-
ty, health and in enterprise, and any
one on the sunny side of fifty need
not despair, Did not the greater
number of our most eminent men
know obscurity and poverty in their
early life? No one knows better how
to enjoy wealth than the individual
who has acquired it by the sweat Of
his brow. IL is only by trlal that
we feel the spirit Of manhood within
US, and with moral courage that we
determine not 10 be disheartened be-
cause clouds and darkness obscure
the present prospects. This alone is
true policy. Again to those who
are suffering from tho mutations OF
fortune, cheer up! Do not dospair'
Time, faith and energy are especial
ly essential at this critical moment,
The worst has certainly gone by the
future should not be disrcgardcd, for
in the future with the proper facul'
ties animated by the proper motives
and pursuing steadily and yigilant'
ly laudablo objects, contontmont
peace and prosperity will assurodly
return and the cry of "hard times
! will bo heard no more.

Popping the question.

One of the Danbury young men
whohas occasionally escorted young
lady home on Sunday evenings, and
went in for lunch, after performing
both services last Sunday night, sud
denly said to her:
"Do you talk in your sleep?"
"Why-no," she answered, in sur
prise"
"Do you walk in your sleep?" he
nextinquired,
"No, sir"
He moved his chair an inch closer,
and with increased interest asked;
"Do you snore?"
"No," she hastily replied, looking
uheasily at him.
AT this reply his eyes fairly spark
led. His lips eagerly parted, and as
he gave his chair another inch, he
briskly inquired:
"Do you throw the combings from
your hair in the wash basin?"
"What's that?2 she asked, with a
blank face.
He repeated the question, although
with increased nervousness.
"No, don't" she answered in some
haste.
Again his chair went forward,
while his agitation grew so great
that he could scarcely maintain his
place upon it, as he further asked:
"Do you clean out the comb when
you are through"
"Of course l do,,' she said, starting
at him with all her might.
In an instant he was on his knees,
before her, his eyes ablaze with flame
and his hands outstrctched
"Oh, my dear Miss, l love you," he
passionatoly cried. 81 give my
whole heart up to you. Love me
and l will be your slave. Love me
as love you, and will do every
thing on earth for you. Oh, will
you take me to be your lover, your
husband, your protector, your every
thing2"
1t was o critical moment for q
young woman of her years, but she
was equal to the emergency, as Il
woman generally is, and she scoop
cd him in.
