Crops i'm Hreia md.

The Dublin Evening Post" states that
the Irish harvest, in which considerable
progress has already been made, will be
one of the earliest ever known; and, taken
altogether, the yield and quality will be
more satisfactory than was expected two
or three weeks since. The reports from
most parts of the country describe the
wheat as very fair crop, as yet free from
injury, generally thick on the ground,
with full, healthy ear. Oats have been
much complained Of, and that crop is gem
orally short in the straw, but the head is
pretty strong; and although the yield will,
in some places, fall much below an aver
age, the total produce is not likely to be
very seriously deficient. Of barley, the
reports are various and conflicting, and it
is difficult to arrive at correct estimate.
In Carlow, for example, some fine fields Of
barley have been secured. In Wexford. a
famous barley growing district, the crop
varies much in character, and some por-
tion is inferior, while in other counties the
same description applies; the crops being
sometimes light and thin on the ground.
All the accounts hitherto Of the potato
have been quite encouraging. reporting
the crop as abundant, very fine in quality,
and free from disease, although the roots,
rs considerable extent, were small.

signs Of the imagination

Signs Of the imagination are the most
dangerous and most seductive of all
There is nothing charming in the thought
of murder, in the contemplation Of great
revenge, in theft, and in the majority of
crimes. Imagination has no sophistIy by
which such crimes may be justified, and
no power to wrap them in an atmosphere
of beauty. The signs Of the imagination
are mainly those which contemplate the
Illicit indulgence Of natural ard normal
passions and appettes, the temptations to
which come in upon the lines of legitimate
and heaven ordained sympathes. 1t is
among the meshes of that which is legiti-
mate and that which is illegitimate-t that
which is forbidden and that which is un-
|fotbitlden- that thenotsksepse becomes
involved and moral pufits is compromised. 4
1t is because men and women are led out
into the field of temptation by some OF the
sweetest and strongest sympathies of their
natures that they feel no alarm. and apple-
bend no danger 1t is because they en-
terlain no design to sit that they linger
there without fear Oh! il this imagi-
nary world of sin could be uuveiled-this
world into which the multitude 90 un-
known and unsuspected--to dream of de-
lights unhallowed by relations that may
only give them license-how would it be
red with the blush of shame!

A Startling Record of Official Mis-
conduct and Crime.

Never before has there beer such set
Of Federal e-holders in Michigan, as
under the present Administration. The
facts are truly startling. First, we had
the case of Postmaster O'Flynn, charged
by his party organ, with illegal Official
practices, with downright peculstion and
subornation of perjury, and these charges
the same organ assures us were s. far
proven AS to procure his dismissal. Then
comes the case of Shoemaker, Collector at
the port of Detroit, who is also accused
by his partizans with the grossest official
corruption, including the whole range Of
possible dishonesty in the circle of his Of
fetal action. We have given speci6ea-
tions before, and need not repeat them.
And now we have still more astonishing
development. The police on Friday last

latest crimes, in Lexington, Sanilac county

The Huntsville (Alabama) Demo
GRAFT" edited byJ. W. Clay, Esq, brother
of United States Senator, Clay, Of that
State. thus explicitly states the conditions
upon which, and upon which only, Ala
bama will support the nominte of the
Charleston Convention:
"No nominee Of the Charleston Conven-
ton can obtain our support unless the
platform adopted shall substantially recog-
Mise the constitutional rights Of the South
on the Slavery question, as laid down by
The. snpreme Court in the Dred Scott de-
cision, to wit: that Slavery is recognised
in the Constitution, and that it is the duty
Of every department ofthe Federal Govern
ment, Congressional, Judicial. and E1ecu-
tive, to guard and protect it; and unless
the antecedents of the nominee are such as
to justify the belief that be will be safe

the Constitution"

The RONlk Of Life.

1t is startling idea. that the history of
our lile-experience is written legibly and
inefiacedly upon our souls, from day to
day and from year to year; and may be
read by any person whose perceptions are
keen enough to trace the electric lines,
whether such person is in or out of the
physical body. These infallible records
constitute that Book Of Life," from which
religionists expect one day to be judged;
and this expectation is not altogether q
vain one. The error is in supposing it to
be book kept somewhere outside Of them
selves, by recording angel, who notes
down every act, word and thought. The
reality is even more impressive than this;
the record is Within ourselves, it admits of
neither mistake nor evasion; and its char
acter imparls quality to the emanaions
we are constantly giving off to all who
come in contact with us. Thus, when We
arrive at sufficient acuteness of percep-
ton, we shall "see as We are seen, and
know as we are known.

The Gospel Of Business.

The editor of paper published at
Wakefield, Rhode Island, essays an edito-
rial on this subject, which is worthy oi
consideration. The following truthful
words ought TO be printed in letters oil
gold, snd pasted in every mans hat:
"While the secular element in every
sermon might perhaps be regarded exces-
sive, yet the assignment to it of more
common and prominent place in the pull
pit, would not be amiss. These outstand-
ing accounts are runious things, both
morally and financially. Had the Gospel
Of Business been thoroughly preached and
psacCised, we had escaped the slough Of
bankruptcy in which we are now founder
ing. But we can conceive that minister
who should preach the whole Gospel, as it
bears upon secular affairs, upon debt and
credit, capital and labor, wcrk and wages,
money and usuly. speculation, bonds,
mortgages, collaterals, securities and con-
signments; in word, upon the perpen-
dlcular right and wrong OF tlade and bust
less of every kind, would be immensely
unpopular both with the money making
aud money spending part of The commu-
nifty. But nothing is more needed than
such an application of the Gospel to the
practical affairs of life, and that, too, in the
actual detail of trade and finance, and
business in'erchanges of every kind. A
ministry chat in these matters would lay
judgment to the line, and righteousness
to the plummet-that would preach Cos
pei of stringent honesty, between man and
man, would do an important, but neglec-
ted part of the work OF an evangelist"

An Awful RetribustiOm.

Some time last spring, says the st.
Louis "Democrat" company of Pixies
Peakers left GRANVILLE, Illinois, for the
Kansas gold regions. While travelling
through the Indian country on their way
out, one Of the company, young man Of
desperate character, from the vicinity of
GRANVILLE, named Haines, declared his
determination to shoot the first Indian he
met; and, unhappily, during the day they
overlook on the prairie defenseless
squaw, when he, in mere wicked wanton-
ness, leyelled lis gun and shot her dead.
His companions were horror-stricken at
the blood thirsty deed, but felt that they
had no power to punish him. The tribe
to which the squaw belonged was not far
distant when the deed WAS perpetrated.
They discovered her lifeless body, and saw
at once the manner of her death. They
pursued the Illinois Pixies Peakers, and
in few hours overlook them, and deman-
ded to know who had committed the mur-
der. The company of five or six Pixies
Peakers found themselves surrounded by
nearly two hundred enraged Indians, who
threatened to immediate the whole party if
they did not point out and give up the
murderer. To save their own lives, they
gave up Haines to their vengeance. He
was taken by the Indians to distance,
while his companions tarried on their route
to see what would be his fate. After a
while the Indians returned, with their VIC
tim literally fayed alive. They had
skinned him from head to foot. The
wretched being was still alive when
brought back to his companions. Helived
in agony long enough to tell how he had
been tortured, but was soon released by
death from unspeakable sufferings.

Our CHILDREN Our children are to
fill our places in society-in Church and
State, and the manner in which they will
fill them depends upon the manner in
which we educate them. five train them
up in the Sabbath School, for God and his
Church, they will amply repay us for our
care but if they are trained up for the
world-in the streets-in the gambling
and tippling saloon--in Sabbath breaking
profanity, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and intemperance
in idleness-in sin, they will dishonor
our names. and repay us by and by with a
vengeance!
How fearful our responsibility! When
we consider that our son may make a
talented, useful and happy man, respected
and beloved by all around him, or be may
make consummate villain, detested by
the world as a nuisance and curse, and
that our daughter has corresponding al
tentative before her--that in the history
of both, in all probability, there is crisis,
or turning point. when it is uncertain
which way they will preponderate--and
that we necessarily play an important part
in tipping the scale, we can but feel that
this is matter not to be trifed with, and
that every means possible should be re-
sorted to. in order to secure the right drift,
and save those so dear to us. AS we
should have them honorably act their part
upon the stage Of life, SO let us sedulously
aim to qualify them for it.--Morning Star.
