LAY OF 1FE bAO1.
thrifty youth in Brooklyn lived,
Not many yeara ago /
His lot not altogether bliss,
Nor alto gether wo;
cobbler 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; al4ta -z. "a ---
And 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 tramped on
By all the living world.
With her he'd in desert live,
Whatever mis- hit befall;
And to obtain this maiden's love,
He'd risk his I" 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
igent inquiry, and from all sections of the Tobacco
growing country we find the opinion prevails that it
is impossible to make any thing like average crop
this season. In the first place there scarcity
of seed in this county-then the fly more than
usually destructive the young plants, and after they
had grown beyond the ravages of this insect, the
weather became cool and dry, with harsh Winds and
in many places the beds have failed, and every
where fast failing. We know many large growers
who have plants at all, and depending their
neighbors. For three weeks there has been rain
in this neghborhood, and but little in any section of
the county-and well judging planters say that the
prospects for planting worse than at this time
last year. Last years crop third short of an
average, and there is hope that there will be a
greater yield this season, and it may be much less

We learn that the Tobacco crop is in finer condi-
ton than it has been for years at the
The whole crop nearly has been set out, and 1t has
taken good stand.

To MAKE WATER Cold FOR SUMNER. Let the
iar pitcher, or vessel used for be nded
with one or folds of cotton, to be con-

where ice cannot be procured, this is common.
