The CRoPs.-The ST. Louis Nelcs says the
wheat harvest IN the West now generally Sc
cured is y most plentiful one, In middle and
southern Illinois, and Indiana, the yield was so
abundant that but for labor saving reapers and
threshers, much OF it would have been lost.
Oats are not quite so good, and the yield will
not be SO abundant. Grass looks promising in
Indiana and Illinois, but in Missouri and Ken
lucky it has suffered considerably from want OF
rain. All throughout the West the corn looks

A WORD TO YoUxG MEE.-What
does that young man do for living? is
the common inquiry, as some fopPish,
well dressed individual passes by.
"Nothing, nothing at ALL is the fire.
quent reply. "But what supports him
in his extravagances? None can tell
bat we, being Yankee, have the priv
ilege of guessing. That young man
that dresses in broadcloth. carries a
cane, and is so extremely polite to all his
acquaintance especially the ladies-is
the son Of man in moderate circum-
stances, who finds it difficult to sustain
himself with a moderate income. His
son wishes to be gentleman, and lives
without labor. The father in his folly
refuses to put him to trade or send
him to work on a farm, hoping that
something may turn up, by and by,
when business will be better, for his son
to obtain good living without work.
He is now obliged to dispense with the
luxuries Of life-perhaps with some Of
its comforts for his son to keep up sp-
pearances. and get into good society,
as that kind of company is termed
where young men have nothing to do
but to dress according to the latest fash
ion.
He is quite independent, and uses
language to his seniors that might be
considered uncourteous in king. He
faces all classes and conditions without
blush, and dares to look with contempt
on the honest apprentice, whose gene
rous soul would out weigh a thousand
as light as his own. The companions he
chooses are like himself. pufed mp with
vanity, swelling with Importance, and
who make a pretence of doing some
thing by occasionally visiting lawyers
Office, to read page or two of Black
stone. The end of such youth il
needs no prophetic vision to see. "lt
is as plain as the way to market, as
DR.. Franklin would say, that he will
turn out low, despised, and miserable
fool. Perhaps the Penitentiary will
bring him up; perhaps the gallows.-
But If he escape these, it will be to hang
like an incubus on those of his friends,
who for PHYS sake, have not the heari
to send him where he deserves.
