logical changes upon tho earth, aud the
presence of Jupiter near his perihelion.
Astronomers have also tsuspected that the
influence of some of the other great planets
upon the earth can be perceived, but they
have never discovered ony reason to be-
love that tue combined fosccs of all tho
planets could, udcr any circumstances,
produce upon the earth thousandth part
Of the evil effect ascribed to them By the
astrologers, if indeed they produced any
evil effect whatever. ~,
Still the astrological almapacs for next
year are repeating substantially the same
prediction of evil things to begin. if not to
culminate in 1881. Because, US they say,
tho ravages of tho Black Death in the
middle ages followed the nearly coiuoident
perihclia of the four great planets, they
predict similar consequences from the con-
hguratlon of the planets now. But neither
in their infercnccs docs science recognize
any validity.
Ia truth, however, the astrologers, not
less than the astronomers and all star
gazcrs, will have plenty of phenomena in
the heavens to occupy their attention for
the next twelve months The sky will not
prescut such such brilliant pageants egain'
this century. There will bc remarkable
gle conjunctions. The most interesting of
these is the great twenty year conjunction
of Jupiter and Saturn in April. This
conjunction Is one Of the strongholds Of the
astroogers AS it occurs in the sign Tau
rus, which they say rules Turkey and Ire
land, they feel safe, on account of recent
occurrences, in predicting very momentous
effects in those countries from the conjuuo-
tion. There will also be copjunctions Of
Jupiter and Mars, Venus and JUPITER;
Saturn and Venus, and the fara roy giants
Uranus and Neptune will play a part in
this remarkable planetary levee.
Venus will reach her greatest brightness
in the Spring, and will be so brilliant as to

he becomes morning star in April. Mars
will begin to brighten in the latter part of
the year, and theu, his snowy poles and
shadowy continents will again become the
admiration to those who gaze through tele-
scopes. In short, there will bo no end Of

Rev. e. D. W., of Auburndale, sent in
the following to the Readers Drawer Of
the West Newton Lyccum:
A youth and maid, ono winter night
Were sittingg in the corner,
His name, we're told, was Joshua White,
And hers was Patience Warner.
Not much the pretty maided said,
Beside the young man sitting;
Her cheeks were flushed u rosy red,
Her eyes were bent upon her knitting.
Nor could he guess what thoughts Of him
We're to her bosom flockiug,
as her fair fingers, swift and slim,
Flew round aud round the stocking.
While as for Joshua, bashful youth,
His words grew few and fewer;
Though all the time, to tell the truth,
His chair edged uearcr to her.
Meanwhile her ball Of yarn gavo out,
She knit SO fast and steady;
Aud he must give his aid, no doubt,
Togct another ready.
lie held the s!scin, of course tho thread
Got tangled, snarlcd and twisted;
"lnve Patience" cried the artlcss maid,
10 him who her assisted
Good chance was this for tongue tied chut!,
To shorten all pnlavcr,
"IIavc Pa,icuccl" cried he, "dcarcst girl,
Aud nlay really have hcr?"
The deed was done; no more that night,
Clicked needles in :he corner,
And she is Mrs Joshua White,
That once was Patience Warner.

In England seed wheat from a poor soil is

situations is sure to give good crop in
warm localities. Glover seed and oats from
mountainous districts are preferred to the
same seeds from the plains. Wheat from
Odessa and from South Hungary is esteemed

Upper Rhine import hemp seed from Ba-
Iayne and Ferrara. In like manner Ger

linseed from Courland and Livonia.

WHEAT FIELDS OF THE UNITED STATES

The progress in wheat culture in the Uni
ted States possesses much interest and espe-
cially in view OF the high price which it now
brings, as compared with few years ago.
As recently as 1850, only about 100000
ucres OF land in this country were devoted
to wheat culture. BY 1876 the acreage had
increased to about 2O,000,0O0 and in 1880 to
about o,o0o,o0O.
In New England in 1880 only about 10000
acres are planted in wheat. Yet, notwith-
standing the rocky character Of the soil,
careful cultivation has made it produce on
an average 154 bushels to the acre. Michi-
gan, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois together
have an aggregate of about lO,8OO,OOs acres
in wheat, and the product from these in
1880 was about $50, 900 900 bushels.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Dakota and
Nebraska constitute the spring wheat belt.
In these 100000 acres were, in 1880, plant
ed in wheat, and the yield was about no.
600. 900 bushels, or ii bushels to the acre.
During ten years the yield in the spring
wheat belt was increased only 34,000,000
bushels, while during the same period the
increase in the yield in the four States OF
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois was
about 7s,000,0 900 bushels. The small in
crease and the small overage yield per acre
in the spring wheat belt is regarded as an
arguments supporting the assertion that a
continuous cropping for wheat, without
+art;li1afiop cr rotation will decrease the
