THE WINTER OF ls7S-79 IN FRANCE.
Tho winter which has just passed, or,
rather, which, according to the popular
opinion, is supposed to have passed, has
been one Of the coldest on record in France
for long time. Although the thermom-
eter has never reached an extraordinarily
low figure 1t has remained at very small
elevation for long space oftime together,
so that the mean temperature Of the months
Of November and December, 1878, and Of
January and February, 1879, Is one Of
the lowest known during the last thirty
years Since the terrible winter Of 1844--
l845, the temperature Of which remains
almost unique, only one season can be
mentioned that has been colder than the
past winter, and that is tho winter Of
l870-71; the winters Of 1846-47, 1861
81 and 1864-65 come very near that 81
187S-79, but do not quite come up 70 il.
In England the exception Is still moro
marked. During the last twenty yearz
no series Of the four winter months hnf
presented such low average telnperatare,
while the month Of January, 1879, vas
absolutely the coldest month observed foi

Suppose you order my team The two
brothers drove to the shiretown, aud the
deed was drawn, executed and put on re-;
cord, in three hours.
The day for Walters marriage had been
fixed, and in three months he would lead the
beautiful heiress to the altar. One month
OF the time had elapsed, when the city was
startled by the report that the Patapsco
Sugar Refinery had failed
Among those who went down with it
was Chauncey Medford, and Walter Dun
can was on his paper for twenty thousand
dollars and was entirely ruined He made
an assignment and rcsoyled to fly to the
old homestead for sympathy and comfort.
Before he left the city, he received brieI
note from Miss Henderson, the purport Of
which was, that their engagement was at
an end. He never saw her again.
George, the plain, practical, plodding
farmer, received him cordially, and sug
gested the opening Of small store in the
village near by.
"Ihere are two difficulties" said Wal
ter Il shall be subject to constant ridi
cule, and l have no capital to begin"
Gas to the first, said George, "you ar,
mistaken. You arc not the first merchan
that has failed, and our neighbors vii
sympOthize with and encourage you. A

which justly belongs to you, and whicl

what is the stock Of wheat remaining 10 |
the entire world and where it is They
know how much wheat will be required
for consumption in different parts of the
earth within given time. Combining
this information, they foretell either
scarcity, or an excessive supply, and fore
see rise or fall A change in the rates
Of transportation, too, is a frequent sub
ject of perversion; if westward bound
freights are likely 10 balance those east
ward bound, so that steamer lines and
railways win not be compelled to run emp
ty in one direction, then freights may be
expected to fall, and the price Of wheat
will rise at the point of shipment. The
abundance or scarcity of money, also, is to
be taken into consideration; if money be-
comes scarce wheat will fall, while il plen-
ty, it will rise. And lastly, the present
price Of wheat may have been artifeially
forced down, or driven up, by spectators
pure and simple, who buy with one hand
and sell with the other, till they bring the
market to figure to suit themselves.
From among these various causes which
govern the presentand future price Of wheat,
it's not difficult to select those that il is
| PCeSiblo Cor the farmer TO compreheua uud
modify. He cannot receive daily aud
hourly adviees from the foreign and do
mestic markets; or bargain with railway
and steamship companies for special rates
Of transportation; or meet his fellow
wheat-growers upon Change to learn how
far they are inclined to augment or lower
prices. All this is properly the work Of the
merchants aud brokers in the great com.
mercial centers, and the profits which they
make by doing it are justly earned and
should be allowed them uncomplainingly
But when it comes to calculating the fu
ture course Of the market, and even, &
some extent, to governing it, the farme

THE OLD ARM CHAIR,


love I'll love it-and who shall dare
10 chide me for loving that old arm chair
I've treasured 1t long as holy prize,
Bcdowcd II with tears and cmhalmed II with sigh
Would you learn the spell, a mother sat there
And a sacred thing is that Old Arm Chair
In chlldhoods hours fingered near
That hallowcd spot with listening ear,
Ahd gentle the words that mother would give
To III me To die, to teach me To live.
she told me III would never botide
with truth for my creed and God for my guide
She taught mo to lisp my earliest prayer.
As knelt beside the Old Arm Chair
sat aud watched her many day
When her eyes grew dim and her locks were gray.
And almost worshped her when she smiled,
And turned from her bible to bless her child.
Nears rolled on-the last one fed
My idol was shattered, my earth star fed:
learned how much the heart can bear
When saw her die In her Old Arm Chair
lis past-'tis past-but gaze on Il now
with quiyerlng breath and throbbing brow,
Twas there she nursed me--'twas there she died,
And memory flows with lava tide
Say II Is folly, and deem me weak
While the scalding drops start down my check,
But love it'll love it-and cannot tear
Ny soul from that mothers Old Ann Chair
