The good time coming.

Everything seems 10 indicate that the
financial crisis of 1858 is like the late CO.
met-its body has disappeared below the
horizon, and nothing now remains visible
but a small part of its tail That, too will
soon be gone, and we shall be once more
sound as dollar and ready for new
spree Never before has nature been so
/ bountiful in her gifts of the earth. The
| cultivators of the soil, who are the founda-
| ton of every nations prosperity, have
/ their cribs and their barns full, and do not
/ know where to stow what is Yet maturing.
/ To wheat there is hardly limit when
| measured by the bushel: and to the corn
| in prospect, the memory OF the oldest IN
! habitant' hath no recollection oil the IKE
/ The oat crop and the hay crop are not be-
| hind that of the wheat and corn and the
potato and the onion can keep count with
either; while the fruit crop is amply abun-
dant FOR all home purposes. Nor is there
any likelihood that these abundant pro
| ductionS Of the soil are likely to spoil for
! the want of consumers, or be allowed to
/ remain housed without purchasers. The
! foreign demand promises to be active; and
| already every avenue of trade is becoming
/ lively and animated through the desire oil
! supply and demand TO keep up an active

/ feel the impulse the immense crops have
impaired to trade. The shipping interes,
was never more lively, nor ishts better
Railroad horses are beginning to feel theil
oats again, and all branches of mechanical
pursuits are experiencing an upward ten
| dency; for when the farming interest Is
prosperous every other branch of industry
shares in its success As 4 natural conse
quence money is becoming plentier, as the
! phrase Ia; that is, there is more of it in cir
culation. and it is easier to be got than be
I fore. We heard an experienced banker
remark few days since tha' money would
be cheaper next year than it had been for
the previous quarter of century Extra
vagance and speculation will of course 6e
the consequence, and we need not M tell
what they will produce in the end The
advice we give to all is, not to try to run
down the locomotive, but take 1t mode
