The exporting of German potatoes
10 the United States is comparatively
now business, rather small matter
now. but growing and likely TO as
sumo largo proportions. The United
States. il would seem, can not raise
enough potatoes to supply tho home
demand. In 1856 we imported L.
037 1896 bushels of potatoes. and cx-
ported of our best varieties. 1911 9iS
bushels, our net imports amounting.
then. to 1,4i2 4lS bushels; in 1867
we imported l 1872 400 bushels and
exported 43i S6i bushels, leaving our
roal deficit ut 997, 626 bushels. The
last crop was said to be about 80, 000,-
900 bushels short. so that it may be
set down for an assured fact that for
1878 we will be obliged to import
much more largely than we imported
in either of the two previous years.

so scarce and so high in the United

mother Earsh, We Come to Thee.

mother EaFShs We Come to Lhees Mother of all. we come to thee at last. Wben shadows of life's evening gather round; Poor, tired children, asking naught but rest, The rest thatin thy bosom still is found. What though our feet have trod unhallowed ways What though our robes are soiled by many 2 fall, Thou chidest not thy children weak and frail, But to thy faithful heart dost fold them all There only do they find unbro1ren peace. Thy bosom is to them perfect shield From every cruel shaft of malice keen, There islanders lying lips to them are sealed. The kindly words Of praise they never heard Before they came to thee with aching hearts Are lavishly bestowed when they hear not, When they see not the tear drop often starts. Within the refuge of thy sheltering arms No sigh is heard, no teardrops fall No storms invade that silent, safe retreat Which thou dost offer to thy children all. Thy children, mother, yes, they're coming home. To thee as nights dark shadows round them fall. They bring but empty hands and fainting hearts, But in thy loving arms is room for all. They found the wine of joy had bitter drugs, The fairist fruit when plucked to ashes turned; Each flower along the way concealed thorn And sorrows mournful song too soon they learned Weary of ife's short day to thee they come, Children of earth seeking their mothers breast And with their heads upon thy mighty heart How peacefully at last thy children rest.
