There are many curious facts in the aercu
tura report for 1854. Who OF our readers fol

State OF Nevada raised more wheat per inhabi-
lant ,Aan any country in Europe. or than any
other State than Minnesota. She raises 42G
bushels per capita. while Minnesota raises 4i.3

raises two and oue-ffth bu>he per head. which

much wheat a. We do in Maine. They Use
rye instead. Eoumania, Turkey, Belgium.
Italy, Spain and Hungary are The only coun-

more per capita. 1t is strange to Us that Bel

most I'VE bushels per capita. while Ptnn>ylva-
MIA only raises four and half bushels.

Five States, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Iowa and Kansas, have general prohibitory
laws Local prohibition prevails in parts of
Georgia, Alabama. Maryland, Mississippi,
Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, ArkaIl-
sas, Missouri, Illinois, Massachusetts, New
York, Connecticut Rhode Island, North Caro-
lima and Michigan During the sessions Of this
years legislatures three States, Rhode Island,

From the corner where it lay.
was holding it before me
Wondering how its life was spent.
And what scenes its life had witnessed
In the battle or the tent:
Then | wondered what was in it.
And from out its depths drew
An old box of leaden bullets,
And baby's little shoe.
Marked and battered were the bullets.
Ragged was the shoe and old:
As it lay half laced before me
What tale of love it told.
Oh, how tiny was the treasure,
Yet ! knew it travelled far,
As the brave young soldier bore it
Mid the dreadful scenes of war.
What its influence upon him
None can fathom. none can know,
Nor the weartr of the treasure
That the soldier cherished 50.
Did you shield him in the battle:
Did you keep him pure and true:
Did you bring him safely homeward:
Tell me, tell me, little shoe.
Did he fight on Lookout mountain:
March with Sherman to the sea.
Was he in the final conflict
Where our army conquered Lee?
We may never know the story.
But we know this much is true.
That some soldier was made better
By the baby'> little shoe.
