at $11@1150. When the new crop
came in about two weeks ago the

go of the crop, which is the cause of
the slight increase. 1t is expected
another advance will be made before
the end of the week.

Here lie the dead,
And here throughout long years
Have signing winds and ~raindrops lulled
their sleep;
Here 'mongst low mounds
And worn, defaced stones
Anear their heads the vines slow, trailing
creep.
Here once they lived,
Those men and those fair maids
So wondrous quiet now and strangely
still:
Lived, loved and yearned
And watched and waited long
And dreamed those dreams Time never
could fulfill.
Here day by day
Meath pitlleSs cold stars
And deep'ning SHOWS they came with
weary feet.
Straining dim eyes
For CLEANS of sails, but saw
The one grim line where sky andI ocean
meet.
Here one by one
Wee heaped by loving hands
These mounds Gn sorrowful neglect to-
day.;
Here broken hearts
Placed these half sunhen, stones
And carved dear names that sstorms HAYS
washed away.
Here, where they lie,
Those dear, brave, suff'Htng hearts.
Today come tdleps, loiterersS from the
town;
Here, where they sleep,
Come roistering cou%ntryffolks
And careless tourists rudcly tranpling
down
Soft. tender grass
And earth, which hide the dead,
And breaking for themselves small bits
OF stone
From those quaintsSlnbs.
Oh, irony of fate,
Spare thou that sacred spota.to Time

My Mother.
She gave the best years of her life
With JOY for me
And robbed herself, with loving heart,
Unstintingly.
For me with willing hands she toiled
From day to day;
For me she prayed when headstrong
youth
Would have its way.
Her gentle arms, my cradle once,
Are weary now,
And time has set the seal of care
Upon her brow,
And, though no other eyes than mine
Their meaning trace,
I read my history in the lines
OF her dear face;
And. mid his gems, who showers gifts
AS shining sands,
I count her days as pearls that fall
From his kind hands.

Night on the Prairics.

Night on the prairies;
The supper is over, the fire on the ground
burns low,
The wearied emigrants sleep, wrapt in
their blankets;
the stars. which I think now I never
realized before.
Now l absorb Immortality and peace;
I admire death and test propositions.
How plenteous! How spiritual! How
eSume!
The same old man and soul, the same old
aspirations and the same content.
I was thinking the day most splendid till
saw what the not-day exhibited.
! was thinking this globe enough till there
sprang out so noiseless around me
myriads Of other globes.
Now while the great thoughts Of space
and eternity fill me I will measure
myself by them.
And now touched with the lives Of other
globes arrived as far along as those
of the earth,
Or waiting to arrive or pass'd on farther
than those Of the earth,
I henceforth no more ignore them than !
ignore my own life
Or the lives of the earth arrived as far as
mine or waiting to arrive.
Oh, I see now that life cannot exhibit all
to me, as the day cannot!
I see that I am to wait for what will be
exhibited by death.
