II young carpenter who had just begun to
work for him. - thought that for II gar

it would make no difference" answered
the young man. But it did make differ
ence. 1t made just the difference between
the young carpenter having steady sum-
mer Job at good wages and having his
lime unoccupied on his hands. The en-
ployer found no further fault; but when
the gate was finished, he paid the maker
without another word and dismissed him
The next day there was another man in
Ills place. He happened to be man who
thought it made difference how every.

and he kept his situation to the end of The
season. So it goes. Frequently some lit

itself, and the man who has made the

A TRANSATLANTIC MoAN.-The 49,
100000 quarters or $1,000, 900 bushels of
wheat which the Pull Mall Gazette now ac-
knowledges to be low estimate for the
deficiency which Great Britain will have
to supply this year from foreign sources,
will cost at current market prices, ESQ.,
600, 900, or in the close neighboI hood of
$l50,000,000. Thus for one article of foUd
alone our transatlantic cousins will have
10 pay at the rate of nearly five dollars
per head to foreign growers. Yet it is
conceded that they will in this way obtain
the supply far cheaper than if they ut
tempted to grow it ut home, even if SO
large AN amount could be probably grown
on the small area of the British Isles. 1t
is fruitful ground of complaint with
them, however, that the two principal
sources of supply-America and Russia
should both show an increasing disincli-
nation to be paid for their exports of food
in manufactured articles. The vast i'm
pfovements lately made in our various
manufactures as the English prefer to
say, our protective policy-have almost
destroyed their trade with this country in
iron ware and cotton fabrics, and seriously
injured other branches of traffic, and il
extorls moan from the neighborhood o.

AMERICAN APPLES IN EURoPE.-An in-
teresting fact, and one at the present time
which is attracting no little attention, is
our largely increasing export trade to
Egypt. That fruit so common and yet
so valuable to us as the American apple,
should be creating a large demand in for
eign countries is somewhat curious; yet
such is the case, as the following interest
ing statistics will prove. In the year 1875
Great Britain was visited with not only
severe frosts, but heavy winds and rains,
which in a great measure blighted her
fruit crops. The English people, who de
pend so much on their native fruits, felt
the necessity of looking to other countries
to supply this deficiency. Knowing how
full our country was of this fruit. the
English merchants endeavored to induce
their American correspondents 10 ship
apples. The result was that seventy
thousand barrels found market in Liver.
pool, the varieties shipped being princi-
pally Baldwins, Pippins, Russets. and
other good keeping winter fruits. The
result was that our American apples were
not only well received, but acknowledged
to be even better than almost any English
variety.
In 1876 Engand's crop was again a
failure, while we were favored with al
extraordinary large yield, and our grow
ers and commission merchants, principally
in the New England and Middle states
seeing their opportunity, shipped heavily
10 England and Scotland. and even Ger
many, until the aggregate of shipments
for that year footed upto nearly half mil
lion barrels. And better still, the profits
were such as to give general Satisfaction
and convince us that this was new fea
ture and valuable in our export trade
Last year Great Britain's crops were rath
err better, while ours were hardly enough
to satisfy home consumption; but in spit
of these obstacles over ninety-six Thousand
barrels of all varieties from the American
market were sold in England to good al
vantage. This number included man.
from the west--the first shipments from thi
section of our country-and this season
with probable enormous yield of apples
many of our larger growers are making
extensive preparations for shipping
through to Europe, from the knowedg
that England's crop is again failure.
Our intelligent farmers, who are neve
slow to take advantage of new ideas, es
pecially when they lead TO all increase
demand for American products, will n
doubt be interested in these details, an
give the matter the attention it so we
deserves. Other countries are begnnin

A pleasant sign of the times is thus
noted by the Mirror: We think we are
safe in saying more New Hampshire farms
have changed hands during the past nine
months than during any other period Of
the same length since 1860, and there is
abundant evidence that this movement in
farm property is still going on. A Henri
ker farmer, who has lived on the farm he
now owns less than two years, said to us
the other day: There have been foul
men at my house to buy my farm within a
few weeks" and others have told us o.
similar facts. Another, tending in the
same direction may be found in our adver.

THE PROMISE OF THE APPLE HARVEST,
There is one cheerful feature to the bar
vest-time Of the present season which has
not greeted us for years-and that is the
beauty and hope of the apple orchards
which generally throughout our state are
promising goodly yield. Those only can
realize how great help to good living
are an abundant store of choice apples
who have been deprived of them for years
as has been the case with so many farm
ers' families in Maine-and this year they
welcome the sight of trees loaded with
choice fruit, with something of the feeling
with which they beheld them in the days
when their life was fresh. A good yield
of apples seems to round off the harvest OF
Maine with sort of luxurious flavor, thai
sends glow of content and good cheer all
through the heart. What visions of baked
apples, and apple sauce (the old fashioned
cider kind and apple pies. dance before
the mind as one contemplates it; what
suggestiveness it has-hringing up the
sparkling times oflhe old style pairing bees
and of winter evening fireside stories be
fore the open fire place, with a generous
dish of splendid apples on the stand, and
good cheer all around What times they

them over again as of old this very season
The crop Of apples will be abundant fol
