GUS appearance of the boat added to
this. 1t was perfectly white. A white
awning was spread above it. There
were white draperics in it and in
the midst of these, as 1 could see when

'An ola of water was in the boat,

reviving, lifted her from her ghostly
craft into my own and made for the

narrative abruptly to an end, "was
that the girl had been in trance, and
her people, thinking her dead, had
started her on the road to Paradise"

to hear the sweet music of her voice.
''She found her way to Paradise"
she said; "she has been in Paradise |

FARM AND GARDEN.
DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

vts General introduction IL n Mates
of National Importance.
The national Importance of the ques-
ton of growing our own sugar supply
Is fast being realized, both by the farm
ers who will most directly benefit by its
realization, and by the general public
who are beginning to discern the extern
siye qualifications of an industry which
will keep an immense amount of money
at home which has hitherto been sent
abroad. 1t is a feature-perhaps the
principal one-in "A large scheme for
such a widening of our agricultural
operations as will embrace the produc-
ton OF many articles now imported and
which can be profitable and successful
ly raised at home. To-day we are i'm
porting large quantities of tobacco
Which might as well be grown here,
where our varied climatic conditions
are favorable for the many varieties of
the fragrant weed. There are also sew
eral vegetable fibers adapted for home
growth. but for which large sums are
annually sent to other countries-such
rs hemp. fax. jute, etc. That the home
growth of tobacco Is capable of large
extension is evinced by the fact that,
for the year ending June last. over
Sis, 100000 was paid for foreign grown
and manufactured tobacco. To import
cotton, seems very like the proverbial
sending Goals to Newcastle" but ST.
100000 worth were received during the
same period; while of vegetable fibres,
such as hemp. fax, jute. manila hemp.
ETC., close on SAC. 100000 worth were i'm
ported, including both raw and manu-
featured material. Here are over $685.
100000 paid out for purely agricultural
products which. with our almost I'M
limited natural resources. can be raised
by our farmers. There may be some de-
auctions on account of brands of for
eign-grown tobacco necessary for GER
tain uses, and also for some descrip-
tons Of cotton: but the bulk of the
large sum mentioned could certainly be
retained at home. and will be when our
farmers are more alive to their necessi-
ties. Corn and cotton are both impor-
tant factors in our agricultural Geo.
nomics. but it is possible and advisable
to have more than one or two crops to
rely on; and the more diversified the
farmers operations, the less is he like
ly TO suffer from an over-abundance OF
either cotton or corn.-Journal of Agri-
culture.
