THE CRoPs.-Tbe crops of the coun-
try-grain and fruit-as we learn from
our exchanges, are in very promising
condition, and bid fair for large and
abundant yield, should the season con-
tinue favorable. Although the season
has been somewhat backward and un
favorable for getting the seed in the
ground, there has been much more
planted this year than usual. Winter
grains are said to be looking well in all
parts of the country, with the exception
Illinois and Indiana, the reports from
these States being contradictory. In
the States of Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa,
aud Ohio, the local papers speak Of the
prospects for full crops AS .excellenf.
Kentucky j, is said will yield thirty pei
cent above the average, of wheat, aud
the same of oats. The Maine paper.
say there has been IA great awakening III
the agricultural interests OF the STATE,
and never before was there greater
Ia the Southern States The staple
productions are aouri,bng, although thc
seas on hos been backward. Large crops
of both cotton and corn are anticipated

From Canada favorable reports ar
received of the grain and fruit crop

says:-
4" Hon Eli Thayer returned to bis
home, to this city, yesterday morning,
after fortnight's tour of business and
observation, through portions of W. Western
Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. Mr..
Thayer made no secret of his the object
of his visit, and was received with the
most cordial hospitality wherever be
went, by shareholders as well as others,
and the most intense interest was every
where manifested, in his emigration
scheme for infusiDg Yankee enterprise
and Yankee thrift into the dead and life :
less communities of the sunny South. -
Mr.. Thayer addressed several public
meetings during his absence, at which be
unfolded his plans of the Emigrant As
sociation, and all of which his remarks
were listened to with the closest aiten-
ton and complimentary resolutions were
passed. Mr. Thayer's first visit to the
South has demonstrated that the bark
of the fanatics of the south is worse than
their bite, aud that the people are rea.
dy an anxious for the influx of hord,
of Northern emigrants, to till their field
and show them how to appropriate th'
munifcent natural advantages they pos
sess.

sEp Hudson, the famous railroad spec
ulator in England, whose operations OBJ
taincd him such an infamous notoricty,
few years ago, was candidate for re-
election to parliament at Sunderland -
His privileges as Member of Parlia-
ment are his protection against arrest for
debt for heavy amount; and it appears
that bis creditors anxiously waited for
the result of the election, in order, if he
should not succeed, to arrest him on un-
satisfied judgments Of which there are
more than 100000 standing against
him. On nomination day the Sheriff ;,
officer actually seized him at the hust.
ings, but it was decided that he was pro.
tected from arrest by being a candidate
The constables kept sharp watch at
the polls, so as to nab him if be had
proved to be unsuccessful but he was
elected, and laughs at the bailiffs and
the laws.

the Surrogate. of New York city, on the
application of Mrs. Cunningham, for
letters of administration on the estate of
DR.. Burdell, promises to be far more
interesting than previous trials. Much
new testimony has been given, which
tends to disprove the alleged marriage,
and to renew the suspicious against the
Cunningham family. Hugh Cromwell,
deputy sheriff, who served certain papers
on DR. Burdell, in October last, on two
suits brought by Mrs. Cunningham for
breach of promise and slander, testified
that the doctor did not seem to under
stand the nature Of the actions, and said
their purpose was to extort money. He
distinctly denied that he had ever pro-
missed to marry Mrs Cunningham,

sS- We have repeatedly heard it said
aud We think we have made the remark
ourselves, that the seasons were later In
their annual rounds, that the springs
we're more backward and the autumns
were prolonged far into what are known
as the winter months, and this is GER
tainly our impression, but facts are stub
born things and we cannot get over them.
According to table showing the date
of the Towering ofthe apple tree, at
Mansfield, Mass, from 1898 to 1886,
inclusive, kept by Mr.. Isaac Stearns,
the extreme dates are May 9th, 1880,
and June Sd, 1850, difference of twen-
ty-five days. The mean of these two
dates is May 81 l2, which is the mean
of the whole fifty. nine years--tbe first
half averaging May 81, and the second
half May %.
The evidence afforded by these rec
ords is opposed to the theories of those
who allege that our seasons are gradu-
ally growing colder. According to this
table, the spring of 1912 opened later
than any since, with the exception OF
that Of 1850 The spring Of 1856 was
considered very tardy, but was earlier
than the spring Of 1912, 1918, 1882

The WINTER OF THE HEART.-Let
1t never come upon you. Live so that
good angels may protect you from this
terrible evil-thc winter Of the heart.
Let no chilling influence freeze the
fountain of sympathy and happiness in
its depths, no cold burthen settle over
its withered hopes like snow on the fad
ed flower no rude blasts or disconten-
ted moan shrek through its desolate
chambers.
Your life path may lead you through
trials which for time seem utterly to
impede your progress, and shut tho
very light of Heaven from your anxious
gaze.
Penury may take place of case and
plenty; your luxurious room may be ex'
changed for single lowly room-the
soft couch for straw pallet-the rich
viands for the coarse food Of the poor
Summer friends may forsake you with
L,arcely look or word of compassion
You may be forced to toll, weary,
steadily on to earn livelihood you may
encounter fraud and the base avarice
that would extort the last farthing, till
you we'll nigh turn in disgust from your
fellow beings.
Death may sever the dear ties that
bind you to earth, and leave you in
fearful darkness. That noble, manly
boy, the sole hope Of your declining
years may be taken from you, while your
spirit clings to him with wild tenacty
which even the shadow of the tomb can,
not wholly subdue.
But amid all these sorrows, do moi
come to the conclusion that nobody wa,
ever so eeeply afflicted as you are, aban
don every anticipation of" better days
in the unknown future.
Do not lose your faith in human ex.
cellence because your confidence ha:
sometime been betrayed nor believe tha,
friendship is only delusion, and love {
bright phantom which glide away from
your grasp.
DO you think you are fated to be mis-
cradle because you are disappointed il
your expectations, and baffled in you
pursuit. Do not declare that God ba
forsaken you when your way is hedgec
about with tborns, or repine sinfully
when he calls your dear ones to the land.
beyond the grave.
Keep holy trust in heaven through
every trial bear adversely with fort!
tude and looked up in hours of tempta
tion and suffering. When your locks
are white, your eyes dim, and your limb

steps of deaths gloomy vale, still re
