ranted by quotations elsewhere. Adyices were
received OF cargo Of Duluth wheat sold In
Liverpool at SIS perquarter, which nettcd sl.u
per bu in Montrea1. This wus undoubtedly
choice wheat, but SO is the price as compared
with that of strnght No. :. spring. The latter
was quoted Saturday in New York ut s1.:s2. and
1t can be shipped from this CITY to that for g..
per bu. The confidence which has pushed nm
prices Is not, therefore, confined to Chicago, It
is more nearly universal. whether or not it be
justified BY the facts in the case.
The latest official estimate cf a shortage Of
lo5, 0o0,00 bu, rs compared with last years
wheat crop, Is supposed By some to be an exar-
gernuon; but there are not wanting old heads
in tho trade who claim that the shortage will be
half AS much again as that. British writer's have
all along been claiming that current prices can
not be sustained, and giving rs their reason the
tassumed) fact that American wheat will soon
be pressing upon tho European market. If our
shortage prove to be.nuythine like so great as
is claimed there will be no pressure, unless it be
in the other direction. Tho staple prediction
that America will have to begin curly and work
vigorously fn order to get rid of its surplus
tlay prove useless hagglng about nothing.

A life misspent, anincompleted mission,
A house all void CT merry laugh,
Pertain unto that fractional condition
OF man without better half.
No one TO cheer him in this worlds un-

And sootho debt t-bemuddled brain;
No one with fertile fancy to suggest
Some way to "raise the wind" again.
No one to laugh with him when all is
bright,
Nor weep when joys seem ever gene
Alas! no fingers, def and white,
To sew missing button on.
No pure-white brow, no love-lit eye OF
blue,
No tresses mo-ed by summer breeze ;
All me! no dewy lips OF rosy hue,
Noling'ring, soft, whitehandto squeeze
No sympathetic hope of morn of life,
Nor memory when he is Old
So sad the thought, no meek and gentle
wife
To sneer at when the cofTee's cold.
And duties over. when the long day dies,
Noneed of gentle, wifely tones,
No one to ask with glad, expecting eyes,
"Dear, did you get the best of Jonesg'
OF earthly joys and pleasures he is bare'
He has no hope Of heaven withal;
No school for christian resignation where
He never hears baby squall. -

orchard of this remarkable fruit The
Oldest trees were only twelve years
from the cutting, and were larger
than thirty year old trees Of any 9th
er variety Their bent limbs show
how heavily they have been laden
with fruit. The'growth Of the young
trees is truly wonderful. We saw
several thousand trees Of one years
growth from tae. cutting, which were
from eight to tenlfeet high. .fMr. Var
nadoe sold, last year, the young gstock
grown from cuttings on oneifeurth of
ar acre, for $4,000. He started in
December, 1869, with three cuttings
brought from Liberty county. From
this beginning he has realized since
1869, $4,000 from the sale Of cuttings,
rooted plants and fruit. EHe sold the
fruitain Boston, Mass last summer,
at five dollars per bushel, ,sa-e
The trees commence bearing young
er than standards of other varieties,
and continue to bear annual crol 81
which increase in quantity with the
rapid growth of the trees until the
weld becomes enormous. -
The LeConte has never been known
to blight when grown on its own roots.
There ig,no otheras variety which pro-
duceS roots Of sufficient vigor to sup
ply the demands of. this as astonishing
grower, and, indeed, there is no ne
cessity + for grating on other Htt stocks,
since the LeConte itself is so success
fully propagated from cuttings. Mr..
Varnadoe is experimenting with the
Bartlett grated upon LeCOnte stocks
in the hope Of supplying through the
vigorous roots of these stocks the de-
mands Of the rampant growth of the
Bartlett, and thus exempt this prince
Of pears from blight. We look with
deep interest to the results Of this
experiment.
It,;s we'll worth trip to Thomas
vile, by any. one interested in fruit
culture, to see the magnificent or
chal ds Of LeConte pear trees IN its
vicinity,-P..L Bercknaans, Editor
