Summer Wind.

Summer Wind.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
1t is q sultry day. The sun has drunk
The dew that lay upon the morning grass;
There Is no rustling in the lofty elm
That canopies my dwelling, and its shade
Scarce cools me. All is silent, save the faint
And interrupted murmur Of the bee,
Settling on the sick flowers, and then again
Instantly ON the wing. The plants around
Feel the too potent fervors; the tall maize
Rolls up its long green leaves; the clover droops
It's tender foliage, and declines its blooms.
But far in the fierce sunshine tower the hills,
With all their growth of woods silent and stern,
As if tho scorching heat and dazzling light
Were but an element they loved. Bright clouds,
Motionless pillars of the brazen heaven,-
Their bases on the mountains-their white tops
Shining In the far ether-6re the air
With reflected radiance, and make turn
The gazers eye away. For me, lie
Languidly in the shade, where the thick turf,
Yet virgin from the kisses of the suu,
Retains some freshness, and WOO the wind
That still delays its coming. Why so slow,
Gentle and vouble spirit of the air?
Oh, come and breathe upon the fainting earth
Goodness and life. Is it that in his caves
He hears me? See, on yonder woody ridge,
The pine is bending his proud top, and now,
Among the nearer groves, chestnut and oak
Are tossing their green boughs about. He comes
Lo. where the grassy meadow runs in waves!
The deep distressful silence of the scene
Breaks up with mingling of unnumbered sounds
And universal motion. He is come,
Shaking shower of blossoms from the shrubs,
Aud bearing on their fragrance; and he brings
Music of birds, and rustling of young trees,
And sound of swaying branches, and the voice
Of distant waterfalls. All the green herbs
Are stirring in his BREATH thousand flowers,
By the roadside and the borders of the brook,
Nod gaily to each other; glossy leaves
Are twinkling in the sun, as if the dew
Were on them yet, and silver waters break
Into small waves and sparkle as he comes.

A RICH CALIFORNIA WoMAN.-Mrs. Eliza
Todd, who owns a ranch mile below Weaver
vile, is remarkable woman. In 1852 she
walked from Shasta to Weaverville and, with
out money, began the business of washing for
six dollars dozen. An acquaintance who lived
near her doncil, says that for long time she
was bending over the wash tub at daylight in
the morning, at noon and at teno o'clock at night.
Business prospered, and after while she bought
two claims which turned out well. Then she
bought chickens which laid eggs and which she
sold at half dollar piece; then she bought q
pig for $l25, and sold its progeny for an ounce
or S25, then bought cows and sold milk. Busi-
ness still increased, and she began buying real
estate, lending money at ten per cent. month
and speculatng in claims always was fortunate; !;
every touch turned something to gold. Now
she is one of the largest property holders in the
North.

The Lynchburg Virginian finds in some OF its
exchanges, the following significant paragraph
from the Cincinnati Enquirer, the editor OF
which paper is Postmaster at that city, and q
Democrat of the first water :-"fhe remark Is
threadbare that the Democratic party is in ia
vor of extending negro slavery. The men VINO
repeat it know that they are guilty OF unquaii'
fed slander. The Democracy have been ID
power almost from the foundation OF the Gov
ernment, and every intelligent man knows there
would not be single foot OF free territory IN the
Union to-day, but for the labors OF the Demo-
cratic party. The Democrats should every
where nail the obsolete charge OF their enemies,
that they are in favor of extending slavery, to
the counter"

The cotton crop OF the United States, estima-

1850, amounted to $78,264,92S.
Estimated at the same point-that is, accord

the average of eggs consumed by each inhabi
