The Alabama, Ga. Patfi,N. rr,hc 18th

sion through the middle and upper part
OF the State. we were ~rn:;icd at the
prospect "i an abundant Wheat crop
Georgia has never before planted so
large crop: nor has appearances ever
indicated SO large an average yield per
acre. \ majority ofthc corn crop. which
Is also large, was up on the LIST instant
and locked well much cotton hal als,

GRAIN FROM THE WEsr.-The St.
Louis New Era Of the Sth, says -
"Thc steamer Herald arrived Yesterday
from the Illinois river, with 1000 bu-
shells Of wheat, distincd for Cincinnati.
Large quantities Of grain are daily arri-
wing from that stream, and in much
larger lots than were ever known before;
the increase Of many articles of produce
raised in Illinois, has been astonishing:
her wheat crops already amount to moro
than onc-fourth west of tho Alleghanies:
and in few years more, she will doubt
less export as much or more than any
State in the Union

HINTS FOR LovERs.-If a youth is
wooingl y disposed toward any damsel,
as he values his happiness, let him follow
my advice Call on the lady when
she least expects him, and take note OF
the appearance Of all that comes under
her control. Observe if the shoe fits
neatly, if the gloves are clean and the
hair we'll polished and l could forgive
man for breaking off an engagement
If he discovered greasy novel hid away
under the cushion Of sofa, or hole,
in the garniturc Of the prc,tiest foot in
the world. Siovenliness will ever be
avoided by we'll regulated mind Us if
it were Il pcstiencc. A woman cannot
always be what is called dressed, parti-
caarly one i'll middling or humble life,
where her duty, and iti is consequently
to be hoped, her pleasure lies, in super
intending and assisting in all domestic
matters; but she may be always neat
well appointed and as certainly as a
vlrtuous woman is a crown of glory TO
her husband, so surely is slovenly one
