The total atea of lands available for
wheat culture in the United States is not
less than 470,000,000 acres. Our entire
wheat crop of the past year, phenomenal
though it was, would not supply seed
enough to sow so vast an era of wheat
land.
In spite of the decrease in American
shipping her merchant navy stands
next to that of Great Britain, which is
the leader of the world. British mer

It is rather strange that woman suf
frage should triumph in the Isle of Man.
. The house of keys, which on the Isle ol
Man corresponds with the house of com
mons in England, recently passed a law
enfranchising women. The house ol
keys was established by King Orry, who
died! in 940. This legislative body is,
therefore, about the oldest m the world,
' yet it is the first in Europe to recognize
1 woman's rights.
In the course or an editorial article
the New YoTiMeraia says
great plagues that from time to time
have devastated thestables and pastures
of Europe; sparing neither cattle good
or bad? Vave all Tiad definite starting
places, and these, on investigation,
have proved that the diseases found
their origin in filth. Bad food im
poverishes the Dlood of the stock,
while the poisonous . emanations ol
the filth, which also has an in
ni4.tia effect when absorbed by
the uhvsiaues continually
witn
' general
animals that survive at all. The causes
of cattle plagues are exactly iiiu&wu0
to those of cholera and other human
scourges, and their effects, when they
attain to contagion or infection, are sim
ilarly unsparing of all with whom they
come in contact. Severer laws and
more alert officers, the Herald thinks,
are necessary to the prevention of a
cattle plague in this country.
A Winter Knapsoay.
From the iroaen north cornea flying forth
The car of the Mng ol storm;
And the yellow sun lotks pale and wan
At the sight of his gloomy form;
From the snow-AUeu oloud he hath cast a
- shrond - ,
On the last congealing ground.
And his baleful gleam on the babbling stream
Hath stilled its murmuring sound .
Hark! hear his cry, a he rushes by,
In the voice of the angry breeie ;
Tis his icy breath, Y1 he bla8i demth
That shrieks in the leafless tree;
With a hollow moan, like a demon's groan,
It flies o'er the sleep-hushed town
Ihen lashes the main till its waves again
Are topped with a foamy crown.
The queen of night, with her Dver light,
T.ooks down from her throne on Sign;
But her beams fell slow to our realm ol snow
AM freete in the crystal sky;
The brilliant stars hve burst their bars,
And approach the earth to greet,
But they lade and shiver their white rayi
qnivor,
i At a world in a winmng-sheet. ,
Us nature's night, and the wearied sight,
That sees but a waste of gloom, '
With gladlier gaee when with quickening rays
Spring's sun shajl the earth untomb;
When the noise ot the rain on the frozen
plain,
Shall alarm the sleeping flowers,
And they burst from their igrave, in tne
breeze to wave,
And laugh in the April showers.
Like the winter's rage'is the pilgrimage
Of man on the shores of time,
For his anxious sight sees naught but night
In this dim probation clime;
But beyond the tomb, in the world to come,
With the prize of his life-toil won,
Where 'tis ever spring he will reign as king
