The price of wheat has been subject to

Erpness, from diagram Of Dir. Alnutt. Of
Loadou, being 4Os Id = quarter of $50 lbs.
The highest annual average was 6is Sd IN
1867, aaA the lowest was +Os 81 IN 1854
The highest weekly average was 74s I'd on
May 9, 1865, and the lowest weekly average
was 37s I'd on Feb. ~, 1879. The greatest
aacusl range Of prices was 25s I'd in 1868,
and the smallest was is Sd in 1864. During
the past FIVE years the average has for each
year been much below the general average.
and the price is now below the annual aver

the worlds production Of wheat has increas-
ed very rapidly during the past five years

In the middle of the room. in its white coffin,
lay the dead child, a nephew Of the poet. Near it,
in a great chair, sat Walt Whitman, surrounded by
little ones. and holding a beautiful little girl on his
lap. The child looked curiously at the spectacle
of death and then inquiringIy into the old mans
face. You don't know what it Is, do You, dear p
said he, and he adding, 81 We don't either
We know not whatdt is, dear, this sleep so deep
and still
The folded hands, the awful calm. the check so
pale and chill
The lids that viii not lift again, though. we may
call and call;
The strange, white solitude of peace that settles
over all.
We know not what. it means. dear, the desolate
heart-pain;
This dread to take our daily way, and walk in it
again;
We know not to what other sphere the loved who
leave us go;
Nor why we're left to wonder still nor why we do
not know.
But this We know Our loved and dead, if they
should come this day
Should come and ask us, What is life - not one
of Us could say.
Life is 4 mystery as deep as ever death can be;
Yet oh, how sweet il is to us, this life we live and
see!
Then might they ~say-these vanished ones-and
blessed is the thought
so death is sweet to us, beloved though we may
tell We naught;
We may not tell it to the quick-this mystery o.
death
You may not tell US, if We would, the mystery o
breath"
The child who enters life comes not with knowl
edge or intent.
SO those who enter death must go as little chill
dren sent.
Nothing is known. But 1 believe that God is over
heard
And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead

THE PLANT

The London Garden copies from Pal
graves work, on Central and Eastern Arabia
an account of a plant whose seeds produce
effects similar to those of laughing gas. 1t
is a native of Arabia a dwarf variety of
Oman, which attains to a height of from
three to four feet, with woody stem, wide
spreading branches, and bright green foliage.
Its flowers are produced in clusters, and are
of a bright yellow color. The seed pods
are soft and woolIy in texture. and contain
two or three black seeds of the size and
shape of a French bean. Their flavor is a
little like that of opium, and their taste is
sweet the odor from them produce a sick
ening sensation and is slightly offensive.
These seeds contain the essential property
of this extra ordinary plant, and when pull
verified and taken in small doses, operate
upon a person in a most peculiar manner
He begins to laugh loudly, boisterously
then he sings, dances and INDUCES in all
manner of fantastic cGpers. Such extra.
vaoance of gesture and manner was never
produced by any other kind of dosing. The
effect continues about an hour, and the
person is uproariously comical. When the
excitement ceases, the exhausted exhibitor
falls into a deep sleep, which continues
about an hour or more and when he
awakeps he is utterly unconscious that any
such demonstrations have been enacted by
him. We usually say there is nothing new
under the sun but this peculiar plant, re

Thirty years ago Herbert Spencer gave
utterance to the opinion that the Americans
got their form of government by a happy
accident, not by normal progress and that
they would have to 60 backward before they
could come forward. Such an opinion, if
not subject TO analytical examination, might
pass for political philosophy but any proper
study of history will show it to be very
erroneous. Our form of government was not
It ut all. It was a product of the
c+ellectual movement
great political ana rcESL,b,,s;:h has
which revolutionized Europe, and WnfcD~
been called, for want of a better form, the
reformation. Out of the struggle that at
tended this movement were developed the
great principles of freedom of conscience
and liberty of the citizen. The blood which
was shed by the founders of the Dutch Re-
public, by the authors and defenders of the
Puritan commonwealth of England, and by
the ~resisters Of religious and political op-
preston in France and Germany, fattened
the intellectual and moral soil in which our
form OF government grew. Our nation is
not an &" accident not even a Happy >
one. The price was paid for it in the old
world, and, transplanted in the new, it grew
under its own laws of development. America
is the historical offspring of the cause which
was upheld by William of Orange and John
Hampden.-Erchange.
