A W ORD ON TILE HARVEST.—In writing of the seedtime
and the prospect of the harvest a few weeks since, I spoke
of the season as a time of trembling. It can now be spoken
ocaflityoanmlyas a season of adversity—it is not too much to say
-- of calamity: The dislike of trembling and of confrcnting
has never been more plainly shown than during
the whole course of this summer, in which we have not
manifested the cool, clear-sighted courage which is one of
the prominent characteristics of the English temper. This
must be in no small degree owing to the uncertainty in
which we lived in regard to the agricultdral produce of the
country. If we lived under a system of statistics in agri-
culture at all comparable to that which regulates our com-
merce, we should be wiser, braver, and richer than we can
ever be without it. As it is, our "agricultural interest"
lies under a digadvantage which affects every class of the
community, and which the manufacturing and commercial
interests would not submit to for a single year, after the
rowdy had Quo become apparent,.-Once a Meek.
