IpTGTURE AND A PARABLE.

yAn old time ingle. warm anu wlde,
Sfsruinr our modern manners,
,where backwood monarchs, side by side,
Wing up their rival banners,
Aud send their cleaning cohorts last
The flying shadows after,
ril warmth and comfort glow at last
: From shining floor to rafter;
yow plittering in the silver store
0f heirlooms with story, rt'
Now weaving sanity halos for
The elders crown of glory
pnt fenderest the fire light glOwS,
And merriest is glanclng rH-t-
r-non boy with cheek of rose,
inbaby irelie dancing
About loving fathers knee, rFz II
whose brow Of care unbending
Tojoih IN all the baby glee
Is sfathers fondness lending;
While, with herloving smile for all,
The gentle household mother
Moves queenly through her kingdom small
Nor longs for any other,
But muses., in happy way,
a Vhesher on earth there may be
aiSogner sncfIpapa to play
Bo.peep with such baby.
Full well the picture recall
u2My childish fancy greeted.
And which the scene that most OF all
liked to have repeated:
How, when his isfather's hiding place
% The boy could not discover,
| Awhile he stood with puzzled face
Thinking the matter over,
Then stopped with sudden rOguery
d And airs of mock contiding, Ia
Ind peeped beneath chip to see
If there papa was hiding;
And how the trick brought papa out
/ With sudden peal Of1aughter,
1 Attj j6yous was thebaby Shout,
And wild the frolic after.
lp4sen my fancy finge,s in f
Tie pretty, childish story,
And thinks deeper sense to win,
As from an allegory;
Tor what do we with childish wits
More witless children rather
Seeking beneath our chips and bits
0ftruth to find the Father
hhere, 10 there"-when everywhere
us walls of home do hold us. b.
Ae warmth and love light of His care
By day and night infold us?
And when we lay us down to sleep,
And scenes OF earth forsakeus,
Hlepresence stil our souls shalt keep,
His morning kiss shall wake us.
Does not the Fathers pity yearn
cQmfort them that fear Him, 80
Yni ylunn HIS arms they learn T.. Il
That they are always near Him? @''7@

Farm Crops of the Entire Country.

The price of corn in this country is
governed entirely by the quantity pro-
duced and the consumption, the guam
tity exported being too small in proper
ton to the enormous amount raised to
exercise an influence on the price; there
fore the crop of 1873, which exceeded
the immense one of l877-sthe largest
ever raised in the United States
brought the figures lower than those of
last year. The lowest State averages,
according TO the special report issued
by the Agricultural Department at
Washington, are in Iowa and Nebraska,
both of which States increased their
products largely, too great for home
consumption and too remote from lead
ing markets, bringing the price down to
about one-half that of 1875. The States
showing the highest average price are
the Gulf States, from Georgia to Texas,
where the consumption fully equals the
crop and where the prices are little less
than those Of last season. o DAP. ian
In the case of wheat the price is
greatly Influenced by the European de-
mand. The average price of the in
creased crop of 1877, stimulated by the
war in Europe, was $Los, but for the
year 1878, with an addition of upward
of 50,0O0,0O0 bushels, the price had
fallen to 7S cents per bushel on Decem-
ber 1, 1878. atq'I., gH! .stts ,Dus
The great value of the cotton crop is
also founded on the demand for export.
Statistics show that in 1873 we had
regained the position held prior to 1861,
and that fourth-fifths of the cotton used
and manufactured in Great Britain come
from the United States. j. The propof-
ton of the total crop exported to for
eign parts was 3,34O, 900 bales, out Of q
crop of 4,75O,O00 bales during the year
ending September 1, 1873, Basing the
calculation on the prices returned BY the
producer, the value1nf the crop for 1873
is given at $194, ,70O, 900, while; the num-
ber of bales is s, 200, ,OO0,' the average
for the whole country baiDg iabeut 81
The price Of tobacco IS low this year year,
the average crop being i5.6i ioentss per
pound on December l.; This price is
mainly due to the result Of an overstock
of poor tobacco last year. The quality
now on hand is generally better, and
heavier, making a yield per acre more
than that of the former season, except
ing in Kentucky, where it fell eff Slight
ly. The total crop of 1878 is, estimated
at 393, 100000 pounds (worth $22,-
0o0,000) against 49Op 700, 900 pounds the
year before. ...s,+.t-ft.,, t,5uery
The price of potatoes. has not adj
vanced yet to the relative proportion chat
price bears to production. With crop
almost Identical with that of 1876 the
price is much lower per bushel; while
the crop is some 1000, 900 bushels less
than last year the total value does not
equal that of the excessive yield of
1877; the product for 1878 being 124,-
027, 900 bushels, at 53,S cents per BUSH,
el-the total value being $72, ,000,O0O.-

Obituary--Co Burns

After long and painful illness, Mr. Conrad
Burns. an aged citizen of Grant county, Wis,
died this morning at his home near Fairplay.
Mr.. Burns was born in Burke county, North
Carolina, July %, 1918. When he was
ten years of age his parents removed to Nor
gan county, Indiana, locating near Martins
vile. About the year 1884 he came to
Grant county. Wisconsin, and engaged in
mining. he spent some time in the vicinity
Of Potosi, Jefferson, Hazel Green, and other
mining villsges, and finally about thirty years
ago, settled at Fairplay, where he continued
to reside until called his morning to the bet
ter home above.
Mr.. Burns was manly man; honest, cour.
ageous, industrious and kind; good hus-
band, an affeetionate father and an obliging
neighbor. His death will be regretted by
hundreds who had known him for many years,
and who esteemed him for those qualities
which are essential to a noble character. He
filed his appointed place well, and when the
Master called him he expressed himself as
ready and willing to so. He leaves a widow,
daughter and son, FIVE of his children
having preceded him TO the Better Land. OF
eight bro theirs and sisters, two only survive
him--Mr. Andrew J. Burns of Martinsvilie.

THE PLEEOERS FLEEOBD.
Another Victory for the Lsncas ter Boys.

A match game of Base Ball was played on
Saturday last between the Brown Stockings
of Lancaster and the Fleecers of Dodgeville
on the grounds of the latter club at Dodgeville,
which resulted in a victory for the lancaster
Club This result was unexpected by the Wis
itors as from the reputation Of the Fleecers,
they expected much closer work than they
found, and went into the game with little
hope of success and the result was quite as
much of a surprise to the losing club. The
curved pitching of Davis of the FlGecers gave
less trouble to the Brown Stockings than the
red hot balls with which McNulty replied did
to the Dc 'geville Club.
The umpire was Richard Carter, Esq, OF
Dodgevlle, who, notwithstanding his sympa-
thies were all with his home club, made a
first rate umpire and gave general satisfaction.
The Lancaster boys claim to have been
well treated by the people of Dodgeville and
to have enjoyed their trip worry much, save
the ride home at night. The following is the
score

The score of 81 to IS runs indicates rather
loose playing, but it is insisted by the Brown
Stockings that the making so many runs on
