Each farmer and each landlord will ask himself, Does it pay to grow grain? and in reply to any such inquiry, I would refer to the annual returns. I find that in the five years, 1842 to 1846, wheat ranged from 50s. 2d. to 57s. 9d.; the average for the entire period being 54s. 10d. per quarter.
These, however, were expected as the result of old causes, not of new or recent transactions. Upon the whole, I am disposed to think, that Australia has seen its darkest day, and that things are likely soon to improve, if, indeed, they have not already mended. The price of stock was looking up; and ewes that had actually been sold as low as 9d. each, were worth 7s. 6d.
The number of all the children who were under our care merely in the schools which were entirely supported by this Institution, from March 5, 1834, to May 26, 1854, was 5,817 in the day schools, 2,748 in the Sunday schools, and 2,315 persons in the adult school. During this year was expended on the circulation of the Holy Scriptures, of the funds of the Institution, £433, 2s. 9d.
"'Buy me one thousand Hafricans for the 30th, cries Fred, busting into his broker's; and they were done for him at 4 7/8. "Can't you guess the rest? Haven't you seen the Share List? which says: "'Great Africans, paid 9d.; price 1/4 par. "And that's what came of my pore dear friend Timmins's time-barging. "What'll become of him I can't say; for nobody has seen him since.
The streets are wide, and well paved; the houses are very neat and commodious, usually of two stories, built of bricks, but the brick concealed by rough-cast plaster, with porches, lattice-windows, and a little piece of garden-ground before the door. The greater part of these houses belong to the company, and are let to the men at rents from 2s. 9d. per week upward.
After giving the foolish virgins a gentle lecture upon the value of punctuality, he admitted them to the room. Inside, there were about three hundred and fifty girls mustered that morning. They are required to attend four hours a day on four days of the week, and they are paid 9d. a day for their attendance.
His sister Polly's expenses are entered in the same book and that young lady's outlay was more formidable. Miss Polly spent 6/ on ear-rings. Once when she took a "Shaise" it cost her 2/, while "Chair Hire" is sometimes 1/6 and sometimes reduced to the modest proportions of 9d. No doubt for her health's sake she bought for 1/ a "Sacred Tincture" which, we may hope, did her good.
We learned that he had been for several years a pickpocket, residing in a low lodging-house at 1s. 9d. a week; sometimes well off, sometimes otherwise, but always harassed by the terrors of punishment.
The man in the shop had told her that it was alabaster. I had my doubts about that, but it was quite in my own taste rather severe and classical. I complimented Eliza on her choice. Three days before Christmas I got a letter from Eliza's mother. She said that she had been afraid that I was worrying about my debt to her of £4 13s. 9d.
From a fourth sister 2l. 10s., and from a fifth 1l., and from five others 8s. 9d.
