exertion, of which he has had enough, or too
much. It relieves hi home of its dullness

Mr. tiniToa One of my old farming
neighbors called on mo the other day and
nun mu iiuiiau raisva lorssio mis year aooui
u tliousaud bushels of Wheat, and that he
could got only 00 cents in merchandize for
it at Vancouver, or 00 cents in goods at Or
(on City, which he said owing to the high
prices at tho latter place, was hardly as rauoh
us ho had been offered by the Vancouver
merchants. My wheat will- only fetch me
nix hundred dollars in merchandise at tlds
iirioo, continued he, and as my family is
largo will not be sufficient to clothe them
and pay my laboring hands for the next year,
at tbu present high rates our merchants sell
their goods. Can you advise mo continued
he how I shall inako my ends meet ?
I went to bed Mr. Bdltor, thinking of the
s story and his thousand bushols of
wheat until I fell asleep and commenced
dreaming about it. In tho morning I told
him my dream and thought I had frequently
found lossons of wisdom in dreams and hoped
he might profit by the one I was about to re
late. I thought said I, that you had declin
ed selling your wheat to tho merchants, but
exchanged it with the millers at Oregon City

I havo been induced to furnish you with a
