The condition of European crops in
dicate the probability of generally
good harvcsts, and that the coming
wheat crop in the United states will
probably equal that of 1879. Judging
from the average of the last five good
years in Europe, the latter will require
of the United States this year 50 mill
lion bushels for absolute consumption,
to say nothing of what might be needed
to rcplenish reduced stocks, and we
shall have Il surplus of 1873 millions for
export. Il seems reasonable to esti-
mate that our present rate of wheat
production will be found to exceed the
demand for home and foreign markets
by about 100 million bushels. Under
these circumstances il becomes a grave
question rs to what is to he the result
Of the current large influx of imni-
grants at the west and the early aug
mentation of our grain acreage. An
agricultural reaction in that section
seems almost inevitable.

The iron manufacturers of Pennsyl-
vania who were not satisfied with fair
living prices are now beginning to see
the folly of advancing from one TO
two hundred per cent. Their greed
created strikes at home and n rush of
foreign goods which could be placed
on the American market cheaper than
the PennsylVanians were willing TO
sell. They are now compelled to COM
pete with foreign manufacturers and
prices are tumbling aS rapidly as they
advanced six months ago, to the detri-
ment of trade, rs jobbers are slow
to purchase in declining market.

The interest ON the public debt of
the United states the year following
the war was nearly Sl4i,O00,o00. At
the present time the interest charge
is IA little less thtn So, 100000, and be-
fore the close of 1851 the annual inter
est will be down to $50, 900 900. judged
by these results the candid and intelli-

denim the republican party for It's

debt resulting from the state sover-
eighty rebellion.

Cold weather and heavy soil have
prevented seeding in most parts of the
northwest, and farmers are much be-
hind with spring work. This seems
particularly the ease in Minnesota.
Reports are conflicting about winter
wheat. In Illinois il seems TO be in
excellent condition, while in Iowa,
Minnesota and Wisconsin ii has been
seriously damaged by the open win
ter and in some counties il will be
nearly failure.

UTILIZING OLD TIN CANS, Canned fruit
and vegetables are now so universally con-
sumed that there are few persons who do
not have more or less cans lring the year.
The old cans seem to be too good to throw
away, and as there is no sale for them they
accumulate With little skill and effort
they may be turned to good service. For
instance, take off the top Of the can, punch
holes on opposite sides near the rim, put in
a wire bail, and you have a little bucket
which may serve for paint pot, TO keep
nails in, or for numerous other uses. Take
off thetop, cut the proper shape, and fasten
on a handle by means of screw through
a hole in the bottom, and useful scoop
may be made by cutting down can, leav-
ing a strip to be bent at right angles ii
the strip for the handle be left wide enough
to bend around a stick, it will be much
stronger. A coarse CRATER for crackers,
dry bread, horseradish and the ike made
with piece of the tin tackled to bit OF
board. The holes in the crater are the best
if made with triangular punch, which
may be filed up from nail, or made Of an
old three cornered file.

have no dreams of golden age; there
will always be more than enough to de-
plore, more than enough to mend. But let
us at least thrust aside the wanton crimina-
ton and let us labor, in patience and good
will toward all to handle and direct for the
best the movements of our time. No wave
on the great ocean of time, when once it
has tioated past us, can be recalled. All
we can do Is to watch the new form and
motion of the next, and launch upon it to
try, in the manner our best judgment may
suggest, our strength and skill.
We cannot change the profound and re-
sstless tendencies of the age toward relig-
ious liberty. 1t is our business to guide
and control their application. Do this you
may But to endeavor to turn them back
ward is the sport of children, done by the
hands of men; and every effort you make
in that direction will recoil upon you in
disaster and disgrace.
The free expression of opinion, as our
experience has taught us, is the safety
valve Of passion. That noise of the rush
ing steam, when it escapes, alarms the
timid; but it is the sign that we are safe.
The concession of reasonable privilege
anticipates the growth Of furious appetite.
We live, as men, in labyrinth OF
problems, and of moral problems from
which there is no escape permitted us.
Solution for them we have none.

world which is an earnest harbinger OF So

Running Over.

l have read in philosophy Of natural
lake on an Alpine slope which discharges
its waters when full, by natural syphon
underground, until completely emptied
Then it does not discharge a drop OF
water again until it is full. The lake is
fed by melted SHOWS and hidden springs
The valleys below wait for months, dried
and parched and scared, for the water TO
refresh them from the lake. But the lake
is good for nothing until 1t gets full and
runs over.
Thus it was with the Psalmist. His
heart was like the natural lake. From
one hill of blessing stream of Joy ran
into his heart. From another hiii rin
of thanksgiving, and from another hill
another rill, etc. And then there were
some very large underground springs in
David's own heart. And the divine
blessing flowed into it, intensifying and
thrilling his poetic nature until he got
full and ran over And the Psalms are
,ohat ran oper. David was not good for
anything to write Psalms, or sing, or
preach, or fight Gods battles, until he
got full and ran over. John Wesley,
Martin Luther, Knox, Whitefield, Bun
yam, were men who were full of Gods
blessing until they ran over. And all
the positive good they ever did humanity
is just what ran over. People have called
them inspired. To moral yacuums men
full of God and running over are inspira-
tons, suppose. But they simply are iuli
OF godliness until they run over.
What makes the churches so dry To-
day, and barren because they are dry
and dead because they are barren, 10 be-
cause the wastes of life does not run from
and into them. Half a dozen OF his
church members will take all the spirit
uel overflow Of the minister. He feels
religious suction from his charge, draw
ing the spiritual life out of him. And
very many ministers appear as though
there were few and small streams of di-
vine grace running into their hearts, or
else there were very large holes that LET
out the water Of life ai the bottom. And
am much afraid both statements are
true. o that the ministry and laity
would lie under Calvary's tragic cross
until they were filed with gospel power.
