THE FARMERS DAUGHTER.

She may not, in the mazy dance,
With jewelled maidens vie,
She may not smile on courtly swain,
With soft bewitching eye;
She cannot boast form and mein,
That lavish wealth has brought her;
But ah she has much fairer charms,
The farmers peerless daughter!
The rose and lily on her cheek,
Together love to dwell,
Her laughing blue eyes wreath around
The heart witching spell;
Her smile is bright as mornings glow
Upon the dewy plain,
And, Iist'ning to her voice, we dream
That spring has come again.
The timid fawn is not more wild,
Nor yet more gay and free,
The lily's cup is not more pure,
In all its purity;
OF all the wild flowers in the wood,
Or by the chrystal water,
There's none more pure or fair than she,
The farmers peerless daughter.
Then tell me not of jewelled fair
The brightest jewel yet,
Is in the heart where virtue dwells,
And innocence is setl
The glow of health upon her cheek,
The grace no rule has taught her
The fairest wreath that beauty twines,
Is for the farmers daughter

WORKING IN DRoUGHT.-Many are
opposed to working corn during periods of
drought under the impression that, when
thus worked in dry weather with the
plough, which necessarily cuts up and
tears its lateral and fbrous roots, the pro-
liability is that the blades will wilher and
burn up, not because the earth has been
stirred, but because the plants have been
unnaturaIIy deprived Of their means ofsup-
plying themselves with food and moisture
from the earth, and because, by that alb
sence OF rain, their power of reaction has
been suspended, and they cannot re.sup-
ply themselves with new series of feed
ers. Thus believing, we hesitate not in
advancing the opinion, that stirring the
earth with the cuItivator is decidedly ben
efcial, in even the dryest periods, as all
such Ioosenings of the soil serve to pre-
pare it 10 absorb and condense the dews,
and dispense their refreshing influences to
the roots of the growing plants. If the
dews fall upon a hard surface, the sun ex.
haes them before they can possibly do
any benefit; whereas, if the surface be
open and in fine tIlth, as a necessary con-
sequenc, much will sink into the earth be-
fore the evaporating power of the suns rays
can disadyantageousIy operate, and thus
will a moderate degree of moisture be
preserved in the earth at time when it is
most needed.

Canadian A6airs.-Prepar;ng fa-a
CoAsion.-A correspondent of the Til
bune, writing from Toronto, Canada.
says a crisis in Canadian affairs is at
hand. The Orangemen and the British
League are uniting. Ths Orange League
has issued a Manifesto couc6ed in The
most reasonable language, and exhibit
ting a degree of audacity such as the
Tories have not before ventured upon
since they first showed an inclination to
rebel.
The Maneifesto declares the legitimate
exercise Of their functions by the Legis.
lature and the Governor General, in pas-
sing the Rebellion Losses Bill, to be un-
constitutional; that Lord Elgin has proved
himself to be false to the Crown, and the
Orangemen are instructed no longer to
as the representative of the British mon
arch. The very act itself is declared to
be rebellion against that royal authority
by consent of which it was introduced,
and by which, after its passage through
the Legislature, it was again assented
" "S oioHSoLHIA dIC iOIu LIlaL they
are as much bound to resist the payment
OF the rebellion losses as they were to
put down the rebellion of 1887, and, 1t is
intended to be inferred, by TIE same means
Lord Elgin and his advisers are declared
to be "more guilty" than the parties who
burned the Parliament buildings and H.
braries at Montreal. The Manifesto abs
solves the Orangeman from their alleei-
ance and tells them they must not lose
by present cowardice what they gained
by past courage. In fact, the manifesto
means to tell the Orangeman to arm, if it
means to tell them any thing; and the
Statesman, Mr.. Gowan's (ex-GranL Mas.
ter) paper, tells them to "prime and-"
and to "prepare for the struggle that
must come. Besides these, there are
other evidences of an intended move
ment.

ANOTHER PLAGuE.--The st. Louis
Union of the 9th inst, says: /
We are informed by one of our most
extensive practising physicians, that the
bilious d~ysentery is assuming an epide.

will fully Justify the Common Council in
continuing the p%rohibitory ordinance in
force the balance of the season, so far as
most of green vegetables and fruits are
concerned. If they are permitted to be
exposed for sale, imprudent persons in AZ

them, and our bills Of mortality thus
