THE WHEAT HARVEST.

During the present and past week, saws
the Frederick Herald, our farmers have been
engaged in cutting their crops of rye anG
wheat, and may be said to have completed
this interesting part of their agricultural. pur-
suits. We rejoice to learn that their fears
relative to the state of the wheat crop have
not been realized to the extent apprehend-
ed; yet it is understood to have fallen below
the usual standard, both as to quantity and
quality.
The Richmond Enquirer observes:-..It il
still estimated, that the crop of Wheat in
Lower Virginia is only about one half of the
average crop The harvest on the North
side of the James River IS supposed to be bet
ter than on the South. The Jefferson s'Free
Press" of the 9th June says, sit is thought
che crop lin that county, will be better than
that of the last year. We understand that
in Frederick, &c. about one-third of the crop
| is estimated TO be lost. We have been in
| formed, that the first sale of ne7v Wheat was
made yesterday to one of our City Mllers at
1921 cents per bushel-red Wheat.
| The New York Commercial of Saturday
| says-"Extensive observation in the coun-
try for month past, enables us to speak from
| personal knowledge of the prospects of the
husbandman for the present year. Owing
to the extraordinary GOODNESS of the season
Indian Corn is in most forbidding state of
backwardness-and it is doubtful whether
the suns of July will be able to bring the plants
forward to perfection. But of grass and the
smaller grains, wheat in particular, the fields
are full of promise. Never have we seen
such wheat fields as those now waving over
the western part of this State; and with the
smiles of bounteons heaven upon the harvest,
the granaries of the farmers through the val
ley Of the Mohawk, stretching westwardly to
the Garden of the Gennesee country, were
never SO amply stored as they will be at the
) close of the present season.
; The Cincinnati Gazette Of Tuesday week
says, the harvests in that vicinity are good.
) Hay crops very heavy and fairly saved. Bar
| ley, rye and wheat full average crop.
5 The Edgefeld Carolinian of the 9th ult.
says, "the wheat crops in this district have
E beeen almost totally destroyed by the rust
n Most of the farmers have turned their stock
: in to pasture on their wheat fields; and Blu,
S few, we understand, will even make seed
t from the present CROP"
d The Athens Geo. Banner of the 22d June
+ represents the wheat crop as "by means SC
= abundant as usual. The grain is very defec-
e tive, so much so in many instances as not bt
is worth the reapng. This has principally

VALUE OF A MOMENT,

BY MoNTG oMERY.
At every motion of our breath,
Life trembles on the brink of death;
A taper's flame that upward turns,
While downward to the dust it burns.
Moment by moment years are passed,
And one ere long will be our last
'Twixt that (long Aed) which gave us light
And that which soon shall end in night,
There is point no eye can see,
Yet on it hangs eternity.
This is that moment as we choose,
The immortal part we save or lose;
Time past and time to come are not;
Time present is our only lot
| o God, henceforth our hearts incline
| To seek no other love but thine,

THE EVENING STAR.
Oh! sweetly shines the summer sun,
When heaven from clouds is free,
And brightly CLEANS the moonlight on
Field, rock, and forest tree.
But to the pensive heart of love,
Oh sweeter than these by far,
1t is with devious step to rove:
Beneath the evening star.
To others give the festive hall,
Where wine cups shine in light;
The music of the crowded ball,
With beauty's lustre bright;
But give to me the lovely dell,
Oh sweeter than these by far:
When pine trees wave and waters swell,
Beneath the eyneing star.
The days are past that have seen,
And ne'er again shall see,
When nature with a brighter green,
O'erspread the field and tee,
Though joyless not the present day,
Yet sweeter than it by far,
lis on the past to muse and stray,
Beneath the evening star.
For all the future cannot give
What spareless time has left,
And oh since thou hast ceased to live,
A vacant world is left.
turn me to my days Of love,
Phe sweetest on earth by far,
And oft in thought with thee rove,
Beneath the evening star.
