The Wheat Crop of 1851.

The reports from the various grain-growing
parts of the Union, indicate that the wheat crops
of the present year viii be the heaviest ever
taken from the earth in the Western States. In
Ohio, the crop is very large and fine one. In
New York, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin,
the yield is also very large, and the wheat of
the very best quality. In Michigan, particular
ly, the yield exceeds anything ever known, even
in Michigan. In the northern and western parts
Of the State, and also in the southern tier of
counties, the wheat crop is said to reach from
one-quarter to one-third higher than at any pre-
vious season. 1t is the same with every other
species of grain except corn

Independence.

A Western editor lately offered his hat as a
prize for the best essay Independence. The
following obtained the prize:-
Natural Independence is easier imagined
than described: personal Independence consists
emphatically in being situated in a clean shirt,
drawers, socks, and a nicely blacked pair of
boots, with at least dollar and a half, and
clean cambria in your pocket-all on Sunday
morning, with your wife on one arm, and your
baby on the other, taking your own course
towards your own church, to sit under the
ministry of your own preacher, in the blissful
expectation of doing your own snoozing, in
your own pew, wherein no one dare venture to
nudge you with his elbow, or tickle your nose
with a straw"

TIE HOME JOURNAL. ,-
Ir WAS a bleeocd summer day,
: The flowers eioomed-the air was mild,
The little birds poured forth their lay,
And everything in nature smiled.
In pleasant thought wandered on,
Beneath the deep woods ample shade,
Till suddenly came upon
Two children who had thither strayed-
Just at an aged birch-tree's foot
A little boy and girl reclined,
His hand in hers she kindly put,
And then | saw the boy was blind.
The children knew not L was near,
4 tree concealed me from their view,
But all they said well could hear,
And could see all they might do.
..Dear Mary" said the poor blind boy,
That little bird sings very long;
Ssy, do you see him in his JOY,
And is he pretty as his song?"
"Yes, Edward, yes" replied the maid,
~ see the bird, on yonder tree"
The poor boy sighed, and gently said,
SISTER, wish that could see!
"The flowers, you say, are very fair,
And bright green leaves are on the trees,
And pretty birds are singing there
How beautiful for one who sees
''Yet the fragrant flowers can smell,
And can feel the green leafs shade,
And can hear the notes that swell
From these dear birds that God has made.
so, sister, God to me is kind,
Though sight, alas! He has not given;
But tell me, are there any blind
Among the children up in heaven?"
"No, dearest Edward, there all see
But why ask me a thing SO odd?''
"Oh, Mary, He's so good 10 me,
thought I'd like TO took at God"
Ere long, disease his hand had laid
On that dear boy, SO meek and mild;
His widowed mother wept and prayed,
That God would spare her sightless child
He felt her warm tears on his face,
And said, go, never weep for me,
I'm going to a bright-bright place,
Where Mary says God shall see.
And you'll be there, dear Mary, too;
But, mother, when you get up there,
Tell Edward, mother, that tits you
You know l never saw you here"
he spoke no more, but sweetly smiled
Until the final blow was given
When God took up the poor blind child,
And opened first his eyes in heaven!

Consistency.

The Wings seem determined never to do any
thing to bring discredit on their character for
consistency. At their recent State Convention
they nominated, as their candidate for Prcsi-
OF THE MEXICAN WAR; and at the same
time nominated for Canal Commissioner of this
State, man who, in Congress, VOTED AGAINST
furnishing the soldiers of that army WITH THE

An American Grace Darling.

The New York Sunday Messenger notices
young, intelligent and Interesting woman,
residing within sixty miles of New York,
who has, with the assistance of an aged and
infirm father, saved twenty-one lives, within
the last fifteen years. The following partic-
ulars are given.
Kate Moore is the daughter of Captain
Moore, who keeps the Light House on Fair-
weather Island, situated midway between the
hurbors of Black Rock aud Bridgeport, CT.
The Island contains five acrcs of land, and
is about half mile from the shore. Macy
disasters, it is known, have occurred to YES
sells driven round Montauk Point, in a storm,
and sometimes in the Sound TO homeward
bound, and this lady's car is so accurate, il is
said she cnn distinguish the shrieks of the
drowning mariner, and direct her barque in
the darkest night. She can trim boat, and
manage us well as any man, aud seems to
make up in tact, what she lacks in strength,
and never refuses TO turn out the darkest
night to the relief of the sufferers. Our in-
formant adds that she is highly accomplish
ed and literary lady, and perfectly feminine
in her manners, aud that, although she oc-
casionully visits New York, and other places
in that vicinity, and has large and most
respectable acquaintance, many of whom
know of these facts, they have never come
| to the knowledge of the public before. The
late lamented Major Noah, who was remar-
kable for collecting the most interesting facts
by some means became acquainted with
them. We also understand that Captain
Moore and his worthy helpmate have resided
upon the Island over twenty years, and
brought up family of five children, upon {
salary of $500 year, all of whom have al
excellent education, aud that they entertain
great many persons who visit the Island
with true old-iashioned hospitality Cree

The New FLAX MovEMENT.--The recent
improvements in the preparation of the flax
fibre for textile fabrics have resulted in n sue
cess which is destined beyond all question,
TO produce great changes in the world
These improvements consist, /. In mode
separating the integument from the wood of
the stem. 2. In substitute for the tedious,
imperfect and unwholesome process of rot
ting, to get rid of the resnous and glutinous
matter which attaches to the fibre, and B.
In new mode of splitting the fibre by car
bonic acid gas, SO as to produce wool,
which may he manufactured either mixed
with cotton, sleeps wool, or silk, or sepa-
rately. 1t has been practically demonstrated
that this flax-wool or fax-colton, of a fine
ness and strength at least equal TO cotton,
and capable of being manufactured with cot
ton machinery, can be produced with profit
at cost much below the present price OF
cotton, and indeed below any minimum which
the price of cotton has ever yet reached
As flax may be grown more or less abun-
dainty in all the free States, as the process
of preparation is simple and fully within the
reach of our intelligent farmers, and as nc
new machinery is requisite TO manufacture
il, and, moreover, as it is not yet too late il
the present season TO SOW flax, il is matter
of great and immediate interest.-Comnlon

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
From the N. Y. Day Book.
The Best Of Times is Now,

"Thcre is good time coming, boys"
Is the burden of the song;
Such is the poetry Of youth,
When life and hope are strong,
But when the sun of life declines,
Age cries, :" How changed arc men
Things were not so when was young
The best of times was thon.
"Therc is a good time coming, boys"
Is true enough trow,
And says the plain, unclouded truth
There is good time now:
Why not improve the present, then,
Whcre'er the future lead,
And let each passing moments page
Bear proof of thought and deed.
"Thcre is good time coming boys"
Makes many q needless youth,
Who all forgets the present hour
The first, tho greatest truth
That of all times since earth began
The present is for him
That age will soon his powers waste,
And palsy mind and limb.
"Therc is good time coming, boys"
And many ono has passed
For each has had his own good time,
And will have to the last.
Then tarry not, oh ! eager youth,
For fairer gales to blow,
But bear in mind the first of truths
The best Of times is nop!
