THE CORN CROPS.-Owing to the long and

pass this season, without tasting he delicious roast

The corn crops are entirely destroyed by the
drought, in the fine valley between the Susquehanna

promised forty bushels per acre, will not yield three

THE SEASON.--The enlivening prospects

ring the months of June and July are about TO be
blghted by the drought. The whole vegetable ere.

and corn almost in the same discouragiDg proper

thus with those who are suddenly be-

Fire Engine Establishment Of Edinburgh.
1t ought to be again made known,
that up to this period there has really
been no public establishment of this kind
in Edinburgh! The town, it is true, had,
as we believe, two engines, but they
are unserviceable. Several insurance
companies had engines also, but only
one ofathem-which belongs to the Sun
Fire-office-is thought to be worth re-
nairing and this is the miserable plight
IN which this large city was caught by
the recent calamitous fires. The police
establishment had no fre-engines or
fire men connected with it and it was
even doubted whether the commission
ers could, under the existing police stat
ute, apply any Oh the iuhos raisea ny
them for the maintenance Of engines.
After the destructive fire opposite the
High Church, the commissioners resell
we'd that matters should notcontinue on
such a footing and it is exceedingly
unfortunate that the plan devised by a
committee ofthe Magistrates, Commits
sioners of Police and insurance Offices,
was not fully matured before this Sc

The DisappointmentS ofL6.

"The present world is scene of va
riety, succession, and mutability. Hills
and valiies, barren wastes and fruitful
fields, diversity the works of God. The
morning dawn, and the noontide bright
ness, are succeeded by the shadows of
evening and the darkness of midnight.
Maturing summer follows the reviving
spring, and hoary headed winter sue
ceeds the pleasing melancholy of au-
tumn.
Equally variable is human life
Our circumstances, our relations, and
evek our own bodies are continually
changing. But this very diversity ex.
hibits the perfection of Providence, and
is designed TO educate US for an eternal
state. 1t is easy TO perceive that if
every thing were according to our
mind, if we experience no cessation Of
pleasure in this world, we never should
be willing to exchange it for another
II is right, therefore, that we should
learn from our own observation and ex-
perieuce, by how uncertain a tenure
we hold the choicest of earthly bless
ings. BY these means our zeal will be
active, our patience become perfect,
and we shall be the more ready and
willing to depart and be with Christ
Life and health are uncertain. As to
our life, It is vapour which appeareth
for a little time, and then vanisheth
away.-Our health is dependent upon
so many delicate and combined causes,
that we are never safe from disease,
