THE TEAK'S WHEAT CBOI.
A London telegram of Septembe 18,
gives the followirg in regard to the
wheat crop of the current year :
((Mr. Jas. Caird, who is supposed to
be a - great authority on agricultural
questions, has just published some inter
esting calculations as to the wheat crop
ot 1875 , He shows that the fall in the
prices of wheat list' year was fol
lowed by a reduction ot 830,000 acres
in the breadth of wheat, or nearly one
tenth of the. total crop in the United
Kingdom, and that there has generally
in other countries been a diminished
area of wheat. This year the harvest
has been three weeks later than last
year iu this country, and its introduction
to market a wholorooniht later; and
Mr. Caird calculates' that, allowing tor
the fcutplud Tromn-ttre- more f
than eleven months' consumption will
now have to' be provided for until 'the
next harvest' comes round. Ihia is 22,-
000.000 quarters altogetlier, half
of 'whioli we have 'at home, and
the rest must be got "from, abroad.
From Russia and froci Germany a
liberal supply may be expected. Tlicre is
also sl good stock to bo drawn upon in
France, and the &rniar$ are holding
Lack forlii.cr prices. " Mr. Csird says
the chief pfprtihension is " in regard ' to
tLc supply from the United States and
Canada. 'From that source during the
IfS.il CLi'co years wo Lave' annually te
ctuvd between 6,003,000 and 7,000

"Never mind, Effle," said Mr. Leslie,
kindly, "a good action Is never thrown
away. Stella Severn's gipsy blood could
ill bear constraint : hut I don't think eiu'ii
fbrfiret vou. for all that."
That was just before Hulbert Leslie ask-
ea me to oe nts Wilis. We were married
the next snrinsr. and I went tn vir
10 uve.
We had a little bit Of a room, nnnnlnor
put 01 Hulbert 's studio, , where we kent
" ""5 iiroi uuxie aoves in a nest.
Although Hulbert was such a genius, and
jmiiumju w many neauuiui Dictures. He
young wi comparatively unknown,
and we found it hard to live, particularly
after the twins had onened their blue oven
on the wintry sunshine of a glorious Feb-
i ury uhv . x uau none a lime tancy needle-
num. km- umj store neretoiore ; nut now my
hands were tied, and it was hard to see the
shadows creep over Hulbert's brow, and
know that I had no power to lift them.
So the years went by. More little ones
clustered around our scanty board, and al
though Hubert worked hard and conscien
tiously, there were other artists who pan
dered to the public taste, and received
more orders. We were very poor.
"Hulbert," said I, one day, when the
load of -poverty had been almost more
than we could bear, "don't yoo wish
you had never married?" - ,
"Do I wish the sunshine had never come
Into my life?" he asked. Kever put that
question again, little wife. . What would
existence be worth without you and the
balniles?"
"If you could only sell that thousand dol
lar picture," I siebed, thinking of some
thing tint had been ou the easel for months.
He shrugged his sliouklers.1 ' :
"Ilaruer savs it isn't worth mif."
said he. "Harper thinks it is fUr beyond
the popular standard of appreciation.'' '
.1 Bigneu, out in spice ot ail our privation
I would not have asked Hulbert. tn lmvor
his grand Ideal of art, I was proud of it.
I was proud of him.
Hulbert came in from the shvHn nf
day with a radlaut fhoe. .
"Wifey, the golden age lias dawned,

Signora Estella Severinl. the prima dona
who is now slnsrinar at the-Aeademv. Rh
is in the studio now, and she says Bhe wants
to be introduced to the artist's wife." .)
"But Hulbert. mv dress ! Mv c-inirleim

"Oh, your dress Is" well enons-h. Mrs.
Cinderella," he cried, laughing as he drew
me towards the door. . . 1
A lady sat in the model's chair a tall,
superbly moulded lady, dressed in velvet,
and an Indian shawl, with hair of rippled
purplish black, and large dusky eye. The
moment she looked up I knew'her again. . , 1
