A Stxns;si Faux= lit ate Ctrs.—l lately beard
of an outburst of the vanity latent M a decent farmer of
moderate means. One market day be got somewhat drunk,
unhappily, and walking home on the country road, he fell
into a ditch, wherein he remained. Some of his friends found
him there, and proceeded to rescue him. On approaching hint
they found he was praying. For though drunk that day he
was really a worthy man—it was quite an exceptional case ; I
suppose ha never got drunk again. They caught seentooes of
his prayer. It wu " Lord, as thou halt made me great,
so do thou make me good!" His friends bed no idea of the
high estiimition in which the man held himself. He was, in
the mat.tmeFf,oLveatnesa, exactly on the same footing with
the other rotted him. Bat he did not thick so. In his
secret be humid himself a very superior man. And
when his self-restraint was removed by whisky, the fancy
came out.--Frauds Magezise for June.
THI WIL•THIR AND THR Caors.—These words
excite more than ordinary attentine and anxiety fed at the
present moment ; but it is satisfactory to state that
go
far es the past week is concerned the report to
hand is mainly favourable. It is true we have bad
more rain than seemed desirable ; but a good deal of Is
drying weather has also been experienced, and the
growing crops of all Weds have made great and rapid
. On the wet and ill-drained soils, and on
roTE:gs, the crops are, as a matter of course, looking
poor and pitchy, and suffering from exec.*. of moisture,
but with these exceptions, the promise on all
sides is most encouraging. The wh,,,its are strong
and vigorous and the barley and lent corn growing
with " a will." In some cases tl e scythe has
already bees at work, and the swathe is satisfactorily
heavy. The remark of last week—that all that is now
wantedis a little settled sunny weather—is still daily re-
peated. The temperature of the past week has beau de-
cidedly higher, and the sea bears with considerable power.
The accounts from the but) districts continue eery satisfac-
tory. The plant is growing rapidly and the bine exhibits
more strength and vigour than usual at this period of the
year. It is of course too early to form any opinion en
to the ultimate results to Le expected, but there appears
to be fair ground for hoping that the plant has attained a
growth and a strength which may enable it to withstand
the attacks of the numerous enemies who are cast to assail
it. The great enemies—the Chanoellor of the Exchequer
and the exciseman—being now happily got rid of, the
planter will only have to emitted against natural evils.
