PBoFIrs OF FARMING.-The editor of the
Ne,e England Farmer, in discussing the rel
alive profits Of farming and of other pur-
suits, says:
The point whereby the question is to be
decided, is this: Do ten thousand carpen.
tiers, storckeepers, or those engaged in any
other mechanical pursuit, leave more proper
ty at their decease, than do ten thousand
farmers 2 Is there question on the mind
ofany intelligent man which would leave the
most, where the parties are taken promiscu.
ously., If there is, an examination Of any
probate record will show, we Think that the
value of the farmer will DO far ahead.

GRArEs.-A great impetus has been given
to the growing of grapes in Northern Iowa
by the large profits which few enter

amounting in some cases to twelve or fifteer

June.
+" TIE lcafy NOR

TIE lcafy month Of June"
as the poet Colcridge calls it, never looked
lovlier-never ecas more lovcly--than it is
this year. The poet thus says:
''Thc quicken is tufted with blossoms Of snow,
Ind is throwing its perfume around It;
The wryneck replies to the cuckoo's halloo,
For joy that again she found it;
The robins red breast - MIC [
Peeps over her nest, p. 1a rr "1 r
In the midst of the crab blossoms blushing,
And the call of the pheasant
Is frequent and pleasant, So.
When all other calls are hushng."
June, this year, is luxuriant almost be-
yond precedent; the abundant May rains
have been warmed by the sun, and have CIV
en- the grass growth and color which
promises well for the harvest.
June, IS the most active month in vcgeta-
ton; whatever gets good start this month
will be pretty likely to come to perfection
the farmer must, therefore, be stirring with
the lark, and watch the whole circle of the
fields Great loss and vexation are occasion-
cd by seemingly slight neglects now. IF
weeds, for instance, once get above the plants
you are cultivating, the injury these occasion
by rctarding their growth is not the emily
one, for in extracting them they disturb and
often break their roots, and thus destroy
them. .5.caE1sff5 @5s aa# .H55E

June.--As Sonnet.
By G. A. STEWART.
A breezy landscape from my window lies,
The woods and fields all drest in richest green,
Trembling glisten in the morning sheen,
And feecy clouds affoat the azure skies.
Now and anon there steals into my
The pure breath of the morning. full and sweet
With fragrance Of the wheat and clover bloom;
Then passing like an angel through the street,
1t whispers to the poor anhungered soul
OF harvests, rich, and tountiful, and rare,
That soon shall rpen. and by manly toll,
GLADDEN. the hearts of thousands every where.
such are the scenes that tell us June Is here,
The month Of flowers. the sweetest of the year.

perspicuous, especially with regard to exemp-

Our State is to furnish 10000 men in all,

shall do this by volunteering are to BE- e1-
empted from drafting altogether. Some will
do II, but we have no belief that the whole number
will be made up by volunteering. We judge
that about Thirty Thousand will have to be
drafted should the drafting begiu 80 early 81
the 10th OF September. This cahnot certainly

making oil proper exemptions. If there are

active participation in the arrest of telon
