The CRoPs.--The prospect of the crops
throughout the United States is generally ex-
celent. OF cotton there is little doubt that the
yield will be very large; the lowest estimate at
the South is now three million bales. There are
complaints from some sections in regard to corn
and tobacco, and it may be that these staples
win fail somewhat short Of an average With
these exceptions, every thing promises well

The foregoing accounts are derived from
sources unfriendly to the Cubans, and we do
not altogether rely upon them. Counter state

tionary party, and many of them are published
in the morning papers. The next arrival will
determine the truth Of what has been done !;
while the above, in our opinion, by no means
indicates what yet may be done. The execution
Of the prisoners taken does not afford good

FATAL GENEROSITY.

The negro preachers at the South are
often marked by great shrewdness and
mother wit, and will not only point the
truth, but barb il SO that, if once in, il
will stick fast. One of these in Old
Virginia was once descanting with
much earnestness ON different ways in
which men lose their souls. Under one
bead Of remark, he said that men often
lose their souls through excessive ge-
nerosity.
What - he exclaimed, :" you tell
me you never heard of that before.
You say. ministers often tell US we lose
our souls for our stinginess. and for be-
ing coyetous; but who ever heard Of a
man that hurt himself by going too far
ro,her ways L tell you how they do
it. They sit down under the sermon,
and when the preacher touches upon
this sin or that sin, they no take it to
themselves; but give this part of the
sermon to one brother. and that part to
another brother, and SO they give away
the whole sermon, and it do them no
good. And that's the way they lose
their souls by being too generous"
There is great truth in this remark.
The want Of self-applying conscience
causes much of the best Of preaching to
fall like rain upon rock. from which
it soon runs of; or, ifa little is caught
in a hollow, il only stagnates. and then
dries away, leaving no blessings be-
hind. A sermon, however true and
forcible. thus disposed Of, does no good
TO those among whom it is 50 silently
distributed, while il leaves him who
squanJcrs its treasures to perish at last
in the poverty and emptiness Of his
soul.

one occasion Judge Marshall had de-
iiyered the opinion OF the court, Judge
Story dissenting. When ,hs points we're
before the class, Mr.. Curtis took the
same position assumed by Judge Story
on the bench; and that eminent man, on
his return to Washington, said to Judge
Marshall, that, il the case had been ar
gued with half the ability before the
court that it was before the class, the
decision would have been reversed.
!" And" added the judge, B. r. Cur
It's, the young man not yet admitted to

Preservation Of Fat a'ii Oiis.-An
article in the Western Lancet, by DR..
G. w. Wright, of Cincinnati, states
that the hunters OF Ohio, in ancient
times, had a curious way Of preserving
their bears fat from becoming rancid,
by melting il along with the powder Of
fine shreds OF the bark Of slippery elm
about drachm of the former to a
poand OF the Iatter-and then strain
ing it. The bark communicates an
odor to the Fat resembling that Of the
kernel of the hickory nut. Dr. Wright
has subjected other fatty bodies, includ-
ing butter and lard, to the same cxperi-
uicnt, and in every instance, he states,
with success. Butter thus prepared,
lie says, was, a year afterwards, as
sweet and free from disagrcable oior
as on the day-it was made "a fact, If

in twenty -four hours the beer is excel

FGtWuaoif SuiNVidtcu iUI uuhidu Wv
thing, aud used in every portion of the
globe-its skin and flesh, and, in ma
ny localities, its milk, all serve for the
necessaries or Injuries Of man. There
is no animal in which there is so little
waste or so little loss. For at least Sc
ven years of his life it will give an an
nual fleece equal to each year the val
ue of the carcass; and the yearly in
crease will be nearly or quite equal to
the cost Of keeping; giving, as a gene
raj thing, a profit Of cent per cent.
OF all other animals, the cow comes
nearest to the sheep in the profit it re-
turns to the farmer if well cared for:
it will pay for itself each year BY the
milk it yields, and defray also the cost
of keeping.
Is there any branch Of farming, or
any other kind of Legitimate business,
that will yield for a series Of years a
profit of 10 per cent? We assume that
there is none. The very idea that a
profit of 80 per cent. could be realized,
in any branch of business, would set
the whole capital Of the country in mo-
ton. Farms would be sold, merchants
would sell of their stocks, bankers
close their banks, and every body who
had money to invest would rush into
this gold mine.
We aver, without fear of contradic-
ton in truth, that there is hardly To-
cality in the whole Union, where any
kind of farm animal can subsist, that
sheep, if properly attended to, will not
give net profit on the investment of
at least so per cent, and that with the
ord nary management OF farms 1t will
give some 90 to 10 per cent.
That there is no danger of OVERRIDING
the business, We have shown repeated
y i'm preyioas numbers. The annual
increase Of population in the Union re-
au;res the wool from three millions Of
sheep; so that to clothe the increased
population would require an annual in
crease of shrcp equal to four millions.
But when we come to consider that
there is now an annual deficiency of
over seventy millions Of pounds. there
can be no doubt that wool growing is
tie most stable pursuit that can be en-
gagged in. We cannot glut the market,
~uor will there be any long time that the
market will be depressed below a point
cf profitable production. On the con-
trary, it is certain that no farm product
roes less below this point than wool.
It has long been a source OF constant
wonder to US that SO many farmers in
the Western States neglect the sheep
for the very precarious business ot
grain growing. Every year will give
