high that travelling, except on steamboat, was almost
impossible.
From the upper Brazos, the doleful accounts
come There lie some OF the most productive cotton
lands of the State, and what with cold and wet they
give little promise of anything but very meagre yield
lILlNoTs.-The prospect OF the coming wheat crop
IN Illinois is represented being very fatering The
Illinois Advocate thinks that there will be more wheat
eaped the coming season, n that State, than there has
been in any other season.
Misunderstanding the wheat crop in Michigan
the Detroit Advertiser of the 9Th instant says:
The recent timely and seasonabe rains the proptious
winter, the cool and late spring, have all tended to
produce the most favorable prospects of a harvest.
There never was period in Michigan when the wheat
crop gave falrer promise than at present, although
much vlclSstude has yet to be met, there is every
ground to expect that the Weld will be abundant and
OF the best quality In the present of scarcity
for money the wheat crop is a-important, and we
have reason to be thankful that among other mis-
fortunes failure in that respect not to be numbered
OHlo.-The Guernsey Times of the 10th instant
says
For several days past good deal of rain has fallen
and the weather mostly cloudy and cool. The wheat
crop in this county scarcely presented pro-
missing appearance. And to fruit the prospect is
equally ng-apples cherries and plums, so far,
perfectly safe, and the peaches unnjured, excepin bot

SONG.-THE FADED ROSE.
BY ]. BARRICd.
The south winds perfumed breath no more
May blend its balm with thine;
The dew that weeps on mount and moor
May tears to thee consign;
The sun that gave thee life and light
May these in thee resign;
But time nor change the love can blight,
Thine emblem links with mine
The hues that beauty round the drew
May deck some art divine;
The charms that with thy being grew
May tairer scenes combine;
The grace that made thy presence bright
May other forms enshrine;
But time nor change the love can blight,
Thine emblem links with mine.
The hand that pressed thy tender stem
May brighter wreaths entwine
The heart that priced thee as gem
May wither more than thine;
The faith that wove in thee its plight
May hayward ways incline;
But time nor change the love can blight,
Thine emblem links with mine.
The flower OF tairest hue and grace
May be the first to pine;
The love that blooms in memery's vase
May oft in doubt decline;
The star most true unto the night
May sometimes dimly shine;
But time nor change the love can blight,
Thine emblem links with mine.
