Mr.. EDrToR,--I regularly read your valua-
parts of the globe. II you spare me o little
space will try and tell little Of this State.
IL is now nearly one year since left Old Perry.
felt happy having quite trip before me-
leaving Millerstown and arriving In Sheffield.
Everything seems TO be a little dull, but we
have bright prospect ahead. The expecta-
tions are for good wheat crop here next sum
mer. AS we have had an immense quantity of
snow here this winter, more than there has
been for good many years, II has been an
extremely cold winter. II got cold early In
November and has been freezing ever since.
The ground Is frozen from two to two and
half feet deep. II has been an extremely hard
winter on stock, as people do not have as
many barns here as they do In Pennsylvania.
Hay is very scarce In some parts Of this State.
Prices of produce are as follows. Wheat brings
from rs TO 80 cents per bushel, corn130 TO 80
cents, pork from $500 to S5.85, butter 10 to 20,
eggs from 90 to 36. Groceries are nearly as
cheap as with you. You can buy fine two
horse wagon at from S65 to $50. Horses from
$25 to $500. If was to advise any one 10
come out here II be one who has money. A
man with q trade can do better here than he
can In the east. But men coming here with
the intention of getting rich without work and
depending entirely on the amount of brains he
has, he will find he cannot do 1t. There are
smart men In the west as we'll as In the east
Farmers In this state make most of their
money out of stock and corn. Land sells at
from 500 to $100 per acre. There Is no state
In the union that has better schools than
Illinois. Most people burn coal for fuel. Good
coal can be got here at from to cents per
bushel. Best wishes to you.

Between the Tides.

A fawless day was the twenty-third of
April in the year of our Lord eighteen
hundred and seventy nine. The regu-
lation morning breezes had been lured
into the poppy fields of Angel island
and put to sleep by the narcotic kisses
of Gree. And even the zephyrs-gentle
pages to the erst-while brawlers-h had
been shut up in the weather clerk
signal-box until o'clock in the after
noon. Then the yachts came out and
the zephyrs were released. 1t was not
very good weather for sailing that the
zephyrs made, though they blew till
theirrosy cheeks were like soap bubbles,
and the white sails were filled with
scented breath. The numbering schoon-
ers staggered in zigzag pathways, as if
they meant to slice away the island
noses with their dull prows; and, in
deed, the yachts sailed scarcely any
faster, only the little plungers made un-
shocked Roadway, running at their own
sweet will, it seemed. The north har-
Dor was dotted with sails. Every
body and everybody's wife and children
and friends were out. So there was
nothing strange about the mere pres
ence of young man and a young woman
in a small rowboat amid the scenes OF
lazy commerce and busy gayety. Ger
tainly it was not strange, for there were
ahundred other people out that after
noon in rowboats, to say nothing OF the
professional boatmen, tho men with
SOULS and the rowing clubs. If the
people on the yachts which they met
noticed them, they doubtlessly viewed
them with pity mingled with contempt,
