The Grain crop.-For several days du-
ring the past week, The weather was bright
and warm and the sky was scarcely over
cast by cloud. The season was highly
favorable for cutting grain. In several Sec
lions ofcoun,ry which we have recently
seen, the feldsgive promise of an abun-
dant harvest of wheat and oats, We hope
that the farmers will no, be disappointed.
In some places rust has attacked the grain
crops, bur to what extent it has injured
them, we know not. We believe that lhe e
is at present, prospect Of good crops OF
grain in this, and many adjoining sections.

.Fruit.-Some months since we spoke Of
the great injury which the late frosts did
10 the fruit. We are pleased to say that
the damage done, was not SO great as we
supposed. From our own observation,
We cah>say that the yield uf'fruit, will be
plentiful in many sections.

Love.

When Loves own star shall cease to know
Her station in tue skies.
And rivers from the ocean flow,
And suns in sackcloth rise;
And vernal showers call forth no flowers,
And summer make no lnrlh,
And birds be mute at morning hours
Then love will cease on earth.
When music's tone no charm shall own,
To thrill the human breast, '.'
And roses bloom yield no perfume,
And doves in deserts rest,
And Heavens bright arch, that g;lds the shower,
The sign of wrath sail prove
Then beany's spell will lose its power,
And man will cease to love. ,.''

WESTWARD THE STAR OF EMPIRE TAKES rs WAY
Toward the morning sun afar,
In gadness first it ROSE,
And flashing from the upper air,
Der earth its radiance throws,
Where Pharoah held his naughty reign
Where Memphis sat in Joy:
Or listed to Old Memnon's strain,
The dark haired iheban boy
When Moses led his chosen band,

And beamed altar DER Cana rs md

And God himself new lusfre gave,
And hade it downward look
Where white robed priests their censers wave,
Hard by Sill as brook!
Resting never--bnt onward vet,
And onward still, it goes
And Israel now in darkness set,
And Babylon arose. ...
But Babylon. no more 'ts thine
Persia now claims its light;
And Persia scarce can say It's mne,"
Before she sits in light.
But bright and bright. and brighter still,
Der Greece 1t sheds it. beam:
Itdances lda's hill,
A nd Illissus' stream;
1t gids thy plains, O Marathon
1t shines on Saamis,
And gems the day Athena won ...

Great Rone you have The star ' j..
Where'er thy eagles are unfurl,d, ..

But she too falls beneath the sword

And now the Star of Empire scared

And scarce throws back the veil of night

TO MY MOTHER.
BY LOTHIAN SMITH Esq.
Mother kn-el upon thy grave,
And tears are falling FAST
As DER me nov, comes rushing on ..
The memories of the past
Of summer days whea youth and hope
Were glowing in my SOUL
Lie's,siiver chord was tuned to Joy,
And full its golden bowl.
When earth seemed fair around me,
Aud skieslooked brig .Rnyc,
When my spirit leaped III gA,.ress,
For tho1 vert near to love;
When thy sweet voice, my mother,
As the close o dag had come,
Rose in low prayer to HIN on high,
That He would bless our home.
Again see thee, mother,
Again that loved voice hear,
LiL. an ,ngr, tone of IA better world,
1t is falling nay
l see thee stand with ont stretched arms,
With JOY upon thy face;
feel Thy warm kiss my cheek,
TALL in thy embrace
Thou chidest me, my mother,
Yet thy words are soft an mild
And amid thick tears of sor ow,
You bless your errlng clild.
Thou ceerest me, my mother,
An honored name t. win,
And not from virtues peaceful ways
10 stray in paths Of sin.
When, 10 life's last. most fearful hour,
Thy brow with death was chill,
see thee calmly yield thysplf
To thy holy fathers will
And with fearless trust on Him,
Who had the power TO save,
Enter with armor on,
The portals of the grave.
/ see upon thy pale, cold clay,
That heavenly smile Of rest,
Which told to earth thy spirits bliss,
In the regions of the best
Oh! mother, if from yon bright land,
Thy spirit looks on me,
as here knee upon the sod
Which now is covering thee,
ask forgiveness for the word -
Unkird, the look or froWn,
Which must have how'd 10 earth
Thy gentle nature down.
feel them n W, dear mother,
Deep in my soul they sink,
And fill for me at this sad hour
A bitter cup to drink.
o! could thu tears which dim my eyes
Recall them pack again,
I'd pour then on thy resting place
As clouds pour down The rain
Since the grave has held thee mother,
Winter hath spent ts blast,
Spring flowers have doomed withered,
The tree its leaf hath cast,
A md have walked with a shirt sad,
Amid rar'h's busy thron,,
And felt their JOY was not for me,
Or their merry dance or song
have felt alone, deserted,
In world both dark a d drear,
Where most will blame discourage,
AID few forgive or cheer.

Shipwreck thy dover.

From valley and sea,
Armies and banners.
Are buried 10 thee!
What arc the riches
OF Mexico's mines,
TO the wealth that fnr down
In the deep waters shine,
The proud natives that cover
The conqnering VEST
Thou flingesl them TO death
With heavc Of Thy breast!
From the high hills that view
Thy making shore,
When the bride of the mariner
Shlieks at thy roar,
When like lambs in the tempest,
Or news in the blast,
Der thy ridge broken pillows
The canvass is cast.
How humblng TO one
With a heat and sonl,
TO look on thy greatness
And list to its roll,
To think how that heart
ncold ashes shall be,
While the voice Of eternity
Rises from thee
Yes! where are the cities
OfThebes and Of Tyre?
Swept from the nations
Like sparks Gom FIRE;
The glory Of Athens,
The splendor Of Rome,
Dissolyed--and forever
Lake dew IN my iodln'
But thou art almighty,
Eternal--sn sublime
Unweakened--unwas'ed--
Twin-brolher Of time!
Fleets, tempest, nor nations,
Thy glory can how,
AS the stars that behold thee,
Still changeless art thou
Buthold! when thy surge
No longer can roll,
And that ornaments length
Isdrawn back like a scroll
Then--ihen shall the spirit
That sighs by the now,
BE mere mighty, more lasting,
More cbainlrss Than thou.
