Late CROPS.

AS the corn and small gram crops are
frequently injured or greatly reduced in
quantity by contingencies against which
no human prudence or foresight can ef.
fectually provide, it is always we'll for
the farmer to have at his command The
most amp'e means ofSu1S!ilu;ing, when
necessary, such late crops as may afford,
The best possible substitute for them
when destroyed by blight, drought, or
any other cause.
When corr has been cut off by worms
at period too lat" to admit Of repant-
inc, the soil should be planted in po'a-
toes or tnrHi3s, both which vii! do we'll

qnrntly planted in the New Enr!and
States as late as the fourth of july: and
when the ground has been properly pre-
pared, If III" season be tolerablv favora-

feet, and of much less weight than when
planted in May or June. II grass land

ter month, when the grass is near its
maturity, the turrow slice laid fairly

The soil being generally mellow, rich
and good tllth, the germjna1ion is rapid,

Good Might.

"Good night" In that expression of
kindness how sweet and soothing a sent
iment Is conveyed. The tolls OF the day
are over; the fervent heat of noon is
past; that maddrning pursuit after gain
is suspended; and mankind sunk in the
arms of sleep enjoy temporary asylum
from care of mind and enervaton of
body. Even from guilt beneticent
nature witholds not the solace of reposr
and passing throug the "ivory gate of
dreams" the days of youth. OF happiness
of innocence in shadowy glory nit before
the soul. InSupportable, indeed, would
be the heavy tribulation which, in our
pilgrimage through life. we must endure
were it not for those intermittent seas
ons of rest which Is alike the privilege
of the houseless wanderel and the palac
ed lord to enjoy. And night, gentle
night, is the tender nurse that woos the
toll exhausted frame to steep its cares n
calm forgetfulness. The wise provisions
Of nature indicate the season for repose,
and her benifcent laws are revercnced
and obeyed by all save the being for
whose comfort and happiness they were
chiefly promulgated. When the sun
withdraws from the heavens, and the
heavens, and the earth is shrouded in
darkness, the labors of industry cease;
the flowers, closing their petals, defend
ed from the chilling dews of evening,
and that sweet watchamn of the grave,
the nightingale, thrills forth in wild and
varied cadences, the parting song "Good
night. Cynthia, and her entering train
of stars, robed in the grandeur Of eternal
light, come forth and hover above the
earth and its children like fair and holy
spirits keeping vigils over mortal sleep
ers, and preserving them from the inAu-
ence of the powers of darkness.

A Timely Hint,

The editor Of the Cutivator reminds
his readers that catermIlors should be at
tended 10 in season, and that when this
is done, the labor of extlrpation will be
trflns. He says, "one easy mode of de
struction, Is oapply strong soap suds to
the nest--if the tree is large, a swab
tied 10 the end of pole Will accomplish
the thing elfectually. Suds which have
been used by the wash woman are as
good as any and by rubbing swab on the
nest-after it has been dipped into the
suds-the worms are quickly destroy

At ten O'clock last nirht, fire broke out on

store of Mcssrs. Donnch s Vnl;oux.
About twenty fi'e steamboats, lying at the
Lcvce were destroyed.
Three persons were killed by an explosion on

TIE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.
Three weeks ago, while abiding to a re-
mark of the Washington Union, in relation
to this Congressional District, we express
sed ourself decidedly in favor ofthe re-nom
ination of Mr.. Evans. During this week
we have received letter from prominent
citizen and leading Wing, in one ofthe low
or counties, in reference to the subject,
from which we take the following eX-
tract:
81 was much pleased upon reading your
recent editorial relative to the re-nomina-
ton ofour late talented Representative in
Congress. For so young man he, certain
~, had no equal upon the floor of the late
House. His course in Congress, as far as ]
can learn, has given universal satisfaction
to the district and, in this end of it, the par
ty voice is unaninous in favor Of his re-
nomination. No one, presume contcm-
plates opposing him in the Convention.
The Democracy, here, and in Kent are de-
srous of bringing into the field, as COM
petitor Thomas r. Stewart, Esq. Mr..
Stewart is clever frllow-but, l appre-
bend, that he will find it a labor, more
than Herculean, to ride into Congress over
the shoulders of'Little Sandy" las we
call him down hcre.) BY the way
when will the Convention meet, and
whereof
In reply to this question: 1t
was decided by ballot in the last Conven-
ton that the next should be held in Elkton,
but no time was fixed upon. The last Con
vrntion was held on the Goth of July.

Show that you need aid, and all turn a
