Goth. They resolved to send for some
copies of a short drama, which they in
tend TO produce in a few weeks, the
exhibition will be given in honor Of

The literary part of the entertain
ment consisted of readings, charades'
music aud the reading Ofa bright little
paper entitled, 1.-The budget" We
copy from it the following bit of orlgi-
nal poetry;
There are men who make their aim
To ascend the tower Of Fame,
BY a jump IN the second-story easement;
But that Bever won the day,
And they have 10 clear the way,
For those who are climbing from the basement
II you start from down below,
At first its mighty slow,
And you wOnderif there really was a race meant
But when you get up stairs.
You can then avoid life's cares,
By knowledge that you gathered in the basement.
And II you go it strong,
Il won't be very long,
Till you're sitting in an upper-story casementi
Then you'll feel a little pride,
As yon look the other side,
Down the road that you Travelled from the base
ment.
The club has been a great source OF
amusement and instruction to the
Young folks this winter.

WHEAT.-This crop never promised
so poor a harvest as it does this spring
in this part of the country. Fields
that looked fine in December, are now
covered oyer with dead wheat that has
been thrown clear out Of the ground
by the freezing and thawing process.
The light winds of the spring will tear
loose much that is left partially rooted,
and water and ice will destroy another
portion. But we are not alone in our
misery, for from every part of the coun-
try the same report is made. In the
West fifteen hundred reports have
been made from various quarters to n
Chicago paper, which indicates that
but little over a halfa crop will be har-
vested This will increase the price Of
wheat next fail should it prove true,
and it will be welcome news TO grain

crop.
