THE CROPS.

Notwithstanding the season is week or
two later this spring than IN the average Of
years past, we have the most gratifying
prospects for boun,iful harvest In all quar-
tiers Of the country. The exhorbitant prices
which every kind ofproduce has commend
ed the las. year has induce d the cultivation
Of many extra acres--and the recent copi-
Gus rains have dispelled all apprehensions
which were entertained Of an early drought.
In this section vegetation has advanced
wonderfully within the past fortnight, and
through the country we learn good yield
Of al the crops is anticipated, particularly
of grain and grass. The fui, crop, /, is
believed, will be liberal one-while pota-
toes, turnips. beess, carrots, and other root
crops promise an encouraging return.
Accounts in. our exchanges from every
point indicate that a large number Of addi-
tional acres has been put under cultivation
this spring. i i well thar il should Be 30,

these productions may be, the foreign de-

upon the exertions Of the hasbandmen, and

TRE STAR PAPERs is the title Of Henry
Ward Beecher's new book, in which .Ex-
periences Of Art and Nature are given in
his own peculiar and entertaining style.
Mr.. Beecher loves nature, and his pen new
or tires in praising the rich picture which 10
spread out before him when he escapes from
the busy life Of the Metropolis. His graz
phic descriptive powers and the exuberancs
Of his imagination expend themselves in
delightful labor among the villages Of Con-
nec,icut, or on the sea-girt shores of Long
Island and his readers sympatheiically share
his happiness in following his sketches Of
the counsry's treasures.
The book will possess particular interest
for the readers Of this, Mr.. Beecher's ma
tive place-and many Of shs papers having
been called forth by our rugged scenery
while the author Tusticated among the
mountains and rivers Of Salisbury. Pub

ADvERrrsrNa.-T'l,e New York Courier
says that people who pass unregarded the
advertising columns Of . newspaper will
generally be found as superficial In all their
requirements as in their manner Of reading.
There are numbers Of newspapers in the
country containing advertisements Of more
value than their ditoriaIs--conveyin in-
formation Of which their editors perhaps arc
totally ignorant. Fools never advertise
Publicity is only sought in this way by the
intelligent, the prudent, and the economical.
Folly trusts for no,oriety in pIaie-glass win
dows, corpulent signs. and snowy store
fronts. Discernmen, calls his customers
from all points Of the compass,b by conversing
with them through the columns Of their fa-
yori,e newspaper, and furnishing food for
reflection and consultation during the hours
Of leisure, when the gilt signs and plato
windows are entirely forgotten. Like the
mustard seed of the parable, judicious adj
vertising soon expands into a large tree
bearing abundant fruit; and the man who
can not discern dollar because penny is
in closer cohtiguily to his optics, Is always
the man WHIT" don't believe in advertising"

To give his thanks or ask boom
