The Frost and the Wheat Crop.


The frost cut of,a portion of the wheat
crop in many Western localities, and yet
there will be bread and to spare in the
land. We give in brief the latest notices
CLEANED from our excl anges.
In .Sandusky county more wheat will be
harvested than in any year since the wee
I'll, appeared. Within the range; Of the
trade of Toledo the damage is compare
lively slight. In Hancock county there
will be third more wheat this fall than
last. In Licking, county only about a
quarter 9of a crop. In Franklin county
-two-thirds of a. crop. In Huron two thirds
or more of a crop Harrison almost an
entire failure of the wheat. In Tuscaraw-
as, wheat much injured. So of Stark and
Wayne, crop light. In Stark some fields
plowed up: In Mahoning, damage triaing
to wheat in some sections, severe in others.
Trumbull, Summit and Portage similar re-
ports, Carroll. county not over a fourth
of an average crop, probably. In Nus
kingum county, wheat will be below an
avarage crop, but injury by frost not worse
than by weeyl for two previous years. In
Delaware the large amount sown and the
good quality Of what has escaped, will give
an aggregate yield not one third below
the average of the last three or four years.
Knox, Morrow, and Marion suffered con-
siderably in their wheat fields. In Colum-
biana the estimate is one sixth less than
before the frost. In Seneca about ten per
cent. of the crop killed, In Crawford and
Wyandotte the damage is greater. In
Clinton county an abundant yield, and al
so in Highladd. In Clermont' and the ex-
treme Southern portion of the Stale, the
weld of wheat viii be be tier, both as re-
cards quantity and quality, than for sever
al wears past. Lake county will have
larger wheat harvest than usual, ..
Back from the Ohio river wheat was con-
injured in Western Virginia, and
also in Western Pennsylvania. In Indi-
ana and Central Illinois and Kentucky tits
not only good but harvested, The crop in
Tennessee, Georgia, &c, a full average, and
secured in good order. Winter wheat but
little injured in Michigan, and the large
spring wheat fields Of northern Illinois,
Iowa and Minnesota give fair
promise. Some complaint of damage to
winter. wheat in Western New York by
frost, but not much in Canada, The only

ES A woman is either worth great
deal or she is worth nothing. If worth
nothlng, she is not worth. getting jealous
for; If she be true woman she will give
no cause for Jealously. A man is brute
to be jealous of good woman-a fool to
be jealous of a worthless one; but double
fool to cut his throat for either of them.

and frightful cries that startled even their
prisoners sitting beside them, and upon these
poor prisoners at first they glared, as the
lion glares upon its prey; and then, with
species of fascination, as if they pitied the
poor creatures now without the means of
defence In other parts of the field they
lay down upon the ground, exhausted
with fatigue, and recovering their strength

nies that they act like beasts of prey, or

-l7 J 1 THE HOLY VIRGIN. q 81 s.l.i
= VIENNA, June 4.-As the arms of Aus
tria have not been so successful as could
be wished, the clergy have addressed them
selves to the Holy Virgin, and humbly re-
quested her, as "Generalissimo" of the ar
my, to take the matter in hand. Already
at o'clock this morning the streets OF the
city were attended by women walking 10
procession behind the rectors OF the differ
ent parishes, who were attended by stall
warth beadles, bearing on which were
saints, martyrs, DC, worked in tapestry
Towards 10 o'clock the different process
sions united, and went to the Cathedral,
and thence to the Church of Mariahulf
(Our Lady of Help,) which is in the sub
urbs Of the same name.
Among the notable persons who walked
in the main procession were the Archduke
Francis Charles, the Arceduke Ludwig, his
son, the Minister of the Home Department
the Burgomaster, &c. The people, hav-
ing wholesome fear of the agents of the
Chief of Police, committed no excesses,
but many of them evinced their disapprov-

Shakespeare and his Orthodoxy


The biograpbers of the immortal bard
have been numerous. bat very few of them
have said any thing of bis religious charac.
Ter; and many, perhaps, may feel surprised
that one OF our brethren in Maine has pro-
posed to deliver Il lecture on the passages
ofScr pture illustrated by Shakespeare. The
poet Is usually thought of as being entirely
careless Of religion, or as simply resting for
eternal happiness on his morality in the lat
ter years of his life. But there are two or
three facts which may tend to raise our cs.
tlnation Of the bard on this matter.
We lay here but little stress on his beau.

Those holy fields,
Over whose acres walked those blessed feet.
Which, fourteen hundred years ago, were nailed
For our advantage on the bitter cross"
But there are two facts which 90 far to en-.
courage our hope as to his real christianity.
1t Will be remembered that he entirely r.
bandoned the stage, and left London in 1910.
and retired to Standardization his native
place, where he died in lGl6. During this
period 1t would seem that he and his f,mi-
" attended his parish church, where the
kev. Richard Bytichl, an eminent Puri.
tan minister, and father of tho distinguished
commentators on tho Epistle to Colossians,
commenced his heightened ministry in 1896.
Richard Byiield was faithful and
energetic minister Of Christ, and we hope,
both from his character and from the fact.
"fShakcspearo being his constant nearer, that
some Christian sympathy existed between
them.
But there is another still more hopefuI
circumstance. Shakc>pear's will was wri

April, 1915; and is remarkable for its pro.
testant aud evangelical character. lie saws,

that she learnt from her grandmother, who
heard the sermon, that the con-
gregat'on IN attendance on that oc-
cas'on was very large and very serious
in their feelings; that the preacher
was very animated and eloquent, and that

Advantage of Trees.

We do not know the author Of the fol-
lowing beautiful and comprehensive notice
OF trees, but we think its perusal will cause
many Of our readers involuntariv and hearth
~ TO respond to the familiar aud popular
language of the song oodmadepare that
tree ~
How beautiful, most beautiful of earth's
ornament, are trees! Waving out on the
hills and in the valleys, in the wild ground or
orchard, singly by the wayside, Gods spirit
and benIzon seem to us ever present in trees.
For their shade and shelter to man and
brute; for the music the winds make among
their leaves, and the birds in their branches !:
for tue fruits and flowers they bear to de-
light the palate and the eve and the fran-
rance that goes out and upward from them
forever, VIC are worshipful Of trees.
"Cnder his own vine and ir tree'-
what more expressive Of rest. independence
and lordship in the earth! Well may the
Arab reverence in the date-palm God
given source OF sustenanrc. Dear to the
Spaniard is the olive, and to the uindoo his
bayan, ,swhercin dwell the families Of man.
and the birds of heaven build their nests.
Without trees what desert place wouIl
be our ear'h-naked, parched, and hateful
to the eye! Yet how many are thought
less of the use and beauty of trees. How
many strike the axe idly or wantonly at
their roots.-Above all.o:her things in the
landscape we would deal gently with trees.
Most beautiful where and as God plants
them, but beautiful even as planted by the
poorest art Of man, trees should be protect
and preserved.
Ii he is bcnefactor who causes two
blades Of grass to grow where one grew be-
tore, how much greater his beneficence who
plants tree in some waste place. to shelter
'and shade, to draw tllither song birds, and
to bear frnit for man. Plant trees, O man.
that hast waste land, and be careful Of those
that are planted.

crowd round her all night-console YOUR
self with thinking that at fifty, you will look
as kind and pleasant as you appear now at
eighteen. You will not have to Law down
your coach and six of beauty and see anotl-

the rest Of your life. You will have to fore.

not witness and own the depreciation Of
your smiles. You will noLses fashion for

gloom, cobwebswithin your once splendid
saloons, and placards in your sad windows,
gaunt, lonely and to let. You may not

feel any desertion. You will not have en-.

EDWARD EVERETT SAYS OF TIE B1nLE.
"A part from its direct claims upon our
reverence as the depository ola divine rev.
elation. we cannot but respect the Bible as
the foundation of our civilization. Strike
from the political, moral. and intellectual
condition of modern society, all that has
flowed directly and Indirectly from this
source, and yom would reduce European
and American Christendom to the state Of
the barbarous and semi,civilzed countries.
whose character has been formed or power
fully influenced by the Koran or other re-
Egious codes of the East. The highest his.
torical alprobability can be adduced in sup
port of the proposition, that if it were pos
sihle to annihiIate the Bible, and with it
all its influences, we should destroy with it
the Whole spiritual! system of the modern
world-all our great moral, ideas-refne.,
ment Of manners--constitutional govern
ment-equitable administrations Of law
and security of property-our schools, hos
pitfalls and benevolent associatons-thc

Traits In Johnson's Character.

In an article on the life and writing of
johnson, in the London Quarterly Review,
we:have the following sketch Of his better
nature
A few ruda speeches sink into insignifi
canoe when compared with charity which
was only bounded by his means. He
loved the poor, writes Mrs. ThraIe, 'as |
never yet saw any one else do As he said
OF Leavitt, he was of every fricndcss name
the trIend.' Besides his in door pensioners,
ne had number Of outdoor dependents,
and when his own funds were exhausted he
wrote innumerable letters to solicit the con-
trloutlons of his acqnaintances. He fire.
quently bestowed all the silver in his pocket
upon the miserable beings who waylaid him
on his passage from his house to tho tavern
where he dned. Even in his early London
d. ''e would 60 up at night to the desti-
tute children who were sleeping upon the
projecting stalls of shops or on the slls of
doors, and slip penny into their hands to
buy them breakfast; 'anl this adds Mr..
Croker when he himself was living on
pennies Sixpencc, he once remarked. was
then great sum to him. When it was
useless to bestow half pence upon beggars,
because they only laid it out upon gin and
tobacco, he energctically exclaimed, 'And
why should they he denied such sweetness
of existence? Life is pill which none of
us can bear to swallow without gliding. Yet
tor the poor we delight in stripping it still
barer, and are not ashamed to show even,
visible displeasure if ever the bitter taste is
taken from their mouths lie one night
found Il woman of abandoned character
lying exhausted in the street, and lifting her
up he conveyed her on his back 10 his own
house. had her nurscd till she recovered
her health, and then obtained her a sitna-
ton. A heartlcss man would have passed
her hy, humane man might have given
her money; but was there any second per-
son IN the whole Of the vast population of
London that would have taken up the for
lorn, diseased and dirty sufferer in his arms
and carried her TO his home? There are
charities which, from their very lowlincss,
become sublime. He avowedIy kept only
tloo of his income for his personal wants,
and Mrs. Thralc calculated that he did not
in fact, spend more than f7O or ESQ Mt
most. His kindness to dumb creatures
was as conspicuous in its way as his bcnev-
olence to men. He used to 60 out himself
to buy oysters for his cat, lest If he put the
servants to the trouble, they should take a
dislike to the animal and use it i'll.
