The following reports relating to the crops in

in the last HagerstOwn and Frederick papers,
From the Hagersto,sn Herald, July IL.
The harvest season has been unusually rainy
and wet in this part of the world; and a general
fear prevailed that the grain in the shock would
be injured by sprouting-but the skies have at
last become propitious, and kind Providence pro-
misses, from present appearances, to reward the
industrious with serene weather, to secure the
fruits Of their labor. The wheat crop with US is
indifferent-the rye is excellent: the oats in some
places fine; and the Indian corn very Furnishing.

for the last two weeks, seemed to be impending
over them. The greater part OF the Wheat crop
had been cut during the few and brief intervals
Of sunshine, which have varied the generally clon-

and, in this state. was exposed to the constant
showers of rain with which we have been every
day visited, until serious apprehensIons were
entertained that the whole crop would be
destroyed in the field by sproufing. But
on Saturday evening last, just at the period
when it was feared that the dread result was at
hand, the weather changed-it became suddenly,
clear and, for the season, u%ncommonly cool-and
the sun rose on Sunday morning in unclouded ius-

ORIGINAL POETRY.


MORNING IN %sPI,NG-To Mrs, -.
Shake of thy sleep supine, my lady fa';
Arise and taste the mornings balmy air:
Drive health destroying slo,h away.
And hasten on with Sops first ray,
To the mountain top and the valley green,
Where Natures choicest beauties may be seen;
For the return Of gentle Spring,
On its glowing genial wing,
Efas banished snow-clad Winters d-eary gloom;
And Aowrets bursting from their icy tomb,
Bid sluggish morsals, who have sumbered long,
Awake, and early walk their sweets among!
But " hen we leave our downy bed,
And ere the " dewy lawn" we tread,
Let Us with grateful hearts and voices join
In prayer. and worship at Jehovah's shrine.
Our feelings chasten'd and sttunsd to praise,
We then with pleasure on his works shall gaze.
The solemn blissful moment past,
We on our glad excursion haste!
Each plant, shrub, tree-esch bud and swelling vine,
Beneath this Spring day sun o fwarmth benign,
Freed from cold wintry bonds, our coming greet,
wnh co!ors varied and With odours sweet.
And foremost in the train,-
Early precursors of Springs reign
The lovely s%now-Drop, with its lily hue,
The modest Violet, dress'I in faithful blue,
Worthy By artles IS maiden to be prest.
And on her virgin bosom fair to rest.
Now having psss'd yon grassclsd hill,
Well rest awhile beside this rilI,
Whose gurg'ng waters devious, gently roll,
Delight the sir and trsnquiize the soul
Ne give the m welcome, as to friends who come
From travel far, seeking once moro " sweet home"
Welcome. VIC rurylinp streams.
Welcome, ye sun-iit beams
: Welcome, this budding Aow'r,
Welcome. yesweets, that pour

O'er mount and vale
we give al ~petcone with an honest heart.
and only grieve that We so soon must par';
That " ir,er's icy blssi again shall rave,
Unlesf each plant, and freeze the ripping wave!
Ye gar, unthinking mortals, turn,
And hence a useful lesson learn.
COX herein Natures mirror see thy face
look, and behold how short thy earthly race
How changeful, how uncertain wo Idly joy,
So soon 20 die, and sooner still to cloy!
Pause and r., Acct upon Thy fate:
Learn wisdom ere it be too late.
viii Spring with all its beauties pass away

Refuse refreshment to these goodly plsins$
Will tempests, storms. and frost devour

So sure the youth Of msn-the spring Of life
With swettly budding joys however rife
With all Of worldly bliss will Boon depart,
Leaving behind a scs,h'd, y wither'd heart!

In which so many beauties shine.

Till Jesus voice Almighty bids it rise.
