for tho York Independent gives the following interesting information and advice The present slock of flour aud grain in market is very small hardly two weeks supply and it is well known that large

spring Thc number of acres cultivated if possible should be double It will require one more plentiful vest to make us in regard to our foreign indebtedness and it is to be hoped that such high prices are offered us for surplus products we shall not postpone thc performance of an imperative duty to a more ent season We contracted our debt when flour was four or live dollars per barrel and now can pay them in the same produce nt double the Shall we not then embrace the ent opportunity to square the books To accomplish this matter is equally our duty and for our ry relief and prosperity it will

Mother's Love A mothers love is divinely beautiful when it the helpless and dent infant with n mystic power like the silent omnipresent of an ever watchful Providence Beautiful in after year as it guides the careless and uncertain steps of joyous childhood strewing around its pathway bright lowers of hope breathe softly tlieir lessons of gratitude and praise while the yonng wayfarer gathers them in his embrace Beautiful in its tation is the higher development of the mental sentiment which commands thc reverence of impetuous youth and sub- dues the mighty power of passion by thc holiness of its strong endurance leading him upwards through ties and temptations to the summit of mount of whence he may survey thc world with a clear vision and willingly brave thc stern realities of a severe discipline rather than yield himself a captive to the at- traction of selfish ambition But when in the full strength of mature the great heart bows itself before her who its best a tions and the soul erect in thc con- scious dignity of its being acknowledges the mother's power then only is her love under- thc sublime complete in its fulfilment A Yankee describing an opponent says fir that
