THE BELLE OF THE VILLAGE.

TWAS in the bright November
Full we'll, her friends remember;
She plighted her tro.h. to the one Of lei
choice
In loving faith, and tender voice.
Twas n the sacred Chapel, beneath a
marriage bell;
Though, not a note it rung, Of happiness
did tell;
In trust, upon bis arm she hung .o
Silent too, though. many heats were
wrung.
There is joy, in seeing another.5 JOY
though we are panied the while,
And nothing 50 contagious, Is bright anu
sunny smile;
SO the gallant bcauX, she left behind,
MAY in this truth some sOlace find.
We will miss our Village Belle,
God bless her! Wherever she stray,
And though with us it is still Move mDcr,
With her let it be always May.
On him the chosen one,
Nav Heaven 5 richest blessings fall
Grant he may always claim her.
The greatest Of them all.

In 1880 the Argentine Republic
did not raise enough wheat to sup
ply home consumption, but since
1882 she has produced more than
her pe ople needed; the surplus has
been shipped to Europe and has
come into competition with wheat
grown in the United States. Her
exports of wheat in 1880 were l.
700 tons and i'm 1884 the the first
shipments of flour were 8,734 tons;
in 1890 the total had reached 327,-
1874 of wheat and 12,117 tons
of flour, and in 1894 1908, 800 tons
of wheat and 56,812 tons of -four.
In 1893 the area in wheat in that
country was 8, 300, 500 acres; in 1894
the area devoted to the growth of
this cereal, was pushed up to 81
653,OOO acres, and in 1895 another
great upward bound was made, the
total number of acres so used being
7,346,OOO.
Tho statement is also made that
the cost of raising wheat in the Ar
gentine Republic will average 20
per cent. less than in the Uuited
States, and when it is remembered
that that government furnishes
agricultural land free to all imi-
grants the statement will be readi-
ly accepted.
