THE WHEAT CROP.

Easton, Md. March Shy the first o. April
we can pretty well form an opinion as to the chan
ces Of this crop, and we are sorry to hear that ac-
counts from all parts Of this shore untavora-
ble.--The backwardness of the crop is net 50 ma
terial, because good seasons would bring that up
but there are not wheat plants enough on the
ground to make crop. The cause Of this is de-
fective seed, occasoned By the wet harvest last
year, and the effects of the weave fly. We have
rarely experienced better winter Or spring for
wheat--during the hard weather it was protected
by the continued frost-and when the frost broke.
it suffered nothing from wet and frost afterwards
there is here and there little good seed wheat
which makes fine show, but it is very little
there is good deal Of wheat again that came up
weakly and sickly, in consequence Of the defect
in the grain, which has strength to grow--there
are also great many fields with little or no wheat
at all in them. The prospect is very bad and
the crop Of this year will be unusually short.

Sorereign Remedy.-A poor woman, understand
ing that the celebrated Dr. Goldsmith. had studied
physic and hearing of his great humanity, solicited
him in letter to send her something for her hus-
band, who had lost his appetite and was reduced
to a most melancholy state. The good-natured
poet waited on her instantly. and after some dis
course with his patient, found him sinking into
sickness from poverty. The doctor told him, they
should hear from him in an hour. when he would
send them some pills, which he believed would
prove efficaclous. lie immediately went home and
put ten guineas into pill box, with the following

SPRING.
I Chris,ian MtelhgenreT.

Now Spring returns, but not to me returns
The yernal joy my better years have known
Dim in my breast life's dying taper burns
And all the Joys of life with health are flown.
Starting and shvering in the inconsant wino'
Meagre and pale, the ghost of what was,
Beneath solnc blasted tree lie reclin'd,
And count the silent moments as they rise
The winged moments, whose unsaying speed
No ar can stop, or in their course arrest;
Where flight shall shortly count me with the deau'
And lay me down in peace with them that rest.
OFT morning dreams presage approaching tate,
Oft morning dreams, as poets tell are true
Led by pale ghosts, enter deaths dark gate,
And bid the realms OF light and life adeu
hear the helpless wall. and shrek OF wo;
see the muddy and drearv shore,
The sluggish streams that slowly creep below,
Which mortals visit and return no more.
Farewell, We blooming fields ye cheerful plains
Enough for me the churchyard's lonely mound,
Where melancholy with dull silence reigns,
And the rank grass waves DER the cherries ground
There let me wander at the close of eve,
When sleep sits dewy on the laborer's eyes,
The world with all it's busy foies leave,
And talk with wisdom where my Daphnis lies
There let me sleep forgotten in the clay,
When death shall shut these weary aching eyes;
Rest in the hope Of an eternal day,
Till the long night is gone and the last morn arse!
