LAY OF THE LAST.
A thrifty youth in Brooklyn lived,
Not many yeara ago
His lot not altogether bliss,
Nor altogether wo;
cobbler was this youth by trade,
And though low pursuit,
He was in easy circumstance,
And was in love to boot.
To lovely Sue, with eye of blue,
fervant love he bore;
And as times sluggish tide flowed past
His love but waxed the more.
With her he'd brave the keencst shafts
That e'er by fate was hurled:
Fen though his work was trampled on
BY all the living world.
With her he'd in desert live,
Whatever might befaIl;
And to obtain this maiden's love,
He'd risk his /" little awl.'
But ah the rugged tide Of love
Did nc smoothly roll
The lovely Sue his suit despised,
Which panied him to the sole.
Oft times he sought the lovely Sue,
TO sue. and plead and beg,
With words that might move any heart,
But hers ne'er moved peg.
Yet still he struggled with his fate,
Till every hope was past;
But sad to tell his faithful heart
Was broken at the last.

MARYLAND TOBACCO CRoP. 6 We have made dill
ipent inquiry, and from all sections of the Tobacco
growing country find the opinion prevails that it
is impossible to make any thing like average crop
this season. In the frs, place there scarcity
of seed in this county-then the fly was more than
usually destructive to the young plants, and after they
had grown beyond the ravagcs of this insect, the
weather became cool and dry, with harsh winds, and
in many places the beds have faiIed and are every
where fast failing. We know many large growers
who have no plants at ALL and are depending on their
neighbors. For three weeks there has been no rain
in this neghborhood, and but little in any section of
the county-and well judging planters say that the
prospects for planting are worse than at this time
last year. Last years crop was third short of
average, and there is no hope that there will he
greater yield this season, and it may he much less

We learn that the Tobacco crop is in finer condi-
ton than it has been for years at the season.
The whole crop nearly has been set out and it has
taken good stand. H"pkinsuiAe Ky. Press.
