ABIG PEACH CROP.

Peaches are SO few throughout the West
this season, that i! will make mouths water to
read of the monster crop of this delicious fruit
in Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey,
where the orchards are breaking down with
the weight of golden and red cheeks. Owing
to the terrible drouth in those States peaches
are smaller than usual, but the quantity is far
ahead of previous years. The spectators in
Delaware last year contracted for the trans
porteiion of 5O0,O 600 baskets-this season the
contracts have already reached the high fig
ure of l,250,O0O baskets, and it is thought
this will not prove ID limit to the immense
yield. The apple and pear crop is also large.
but inferior in quality owing to the drouth.

The 7-20 Government Loan.
Many of the advantages OF this loan are ap-
parent on their face, but there are others
that will be best understood after considera-
ton Among them there are,
It's 4 BsoLUTE SECURITY Nearly all &C
tive credits are now based on Government Sc
curities Banks of issue and Savings banks
hold them in large quantties-in many cases
mere than the entire smouus Of their capitals
and they hold them SIS the very best and
strongest Investment they could possibly make.
it were possible to contemplate the financial
failure of the Government, no bank would
he any better or safer. Savings Backs already
have a large part of their sssstts invested in
Government Securities. AS rnle they allow
but FIVE per cent interest,", snd can only pay
principal or interest IN greenhscks or bills Of
State Banks,-for every note or bond held by
them and due before the resumption of specie
payments Is payable in Government legal len
der psper Banks Of issue and discount can-
not ask or get anything better in payment Of
customers notes, snd they prefer it TO all 9th
er, for they are compelled to redeem their own
notes iu that paper as the circulating medium
next to specie in value. BY the issue OF this
loan the U. S. Treasury becomes a SGvings
bank for the people. There are none stronger
none more solvent, aud not one that pays SO
literally for the use of money. You may de-
post 6fty dollars or fifty thousand. The
more you put in tho more you will aid and
strengthen the Government, and the more val
liable will be the remaining currency Of the
country
ITs LIBERAL INTEREsT.-The general rate oi
interest is six per cent, payable annually
This ia seven aud thrre-tsnths, psyabsl ssmi-
annually. II you lend on mortgage, there
must he searching OF titles, lawyers fees,
stamp duties aud delays, aud you will finally
have returned to you only the Eame kind of
money you would receive from the Govern
meut, and less of it, If you invest in this
! loan, you have no trouble. If there is no
! National bank at hand, any banker viii OBJ
tain it for you without charge, and pay you
the interest coupon at the end Of six months

RETTER THnuHHTs.

There are moments 10 the life Of all, no
matter whether lofty or IowIy. when better
thoughts, like angel visiIantF, come to the
mind, and if they are cherished, their visits
will not be few and far between As a bird
whose wing eIeaves the upper deep, pausing
sometimes by your home to catch the crumbs
around your door, is lured to the open win
dow by the seeds which day after day you put
there 10 lure it from its aerial flights, becomes
lees ;imid, until it comes and taps at the win
dow pane, folds its wiBgs, and picks the crumbs
from your hands so will our better thoughts
come the oftener if we open the window oi
our hearts to receive them, welcoming and
eherishing them, and Turing them to our side
Better thoughts are angel visitants, and the
msments when they come to us are blessed
moments.

Reoips for alackberrH syrup.


From high authorities, we have had state
ments relative to the immense benefit to the
health of soldiers, derived from the use of
blackberry cordial OF syrup. 1t is desirabls
that all who can, should contribute this valu-
able remedy to the soldiers in the Geld, through
the agency Of the Sanitary Commission. The
following recipe, for compounding il, is given
to us as one which has been tried for sixteen
years, is cases of diarrhoeA, dysentery, &C..
with invariable success: Half pound black
berry root half pound white oak bark; cut in-
to small pieces or puIverizs, and boil in one
gallon of water, until it 10 reduced TO two
quarts; then strain and boil up with cloves,
cinnamon, led pepper, &c, and enough sugar
to make a thick syrup. Add gill Of best
French brandy to each quart, to keep it 10 hot
weather or hot climate; it iH not necessary
in cold weather. Bottle and seal it with wax,
when it will keep for years.

FRIEN DgHIP.
BY IsE WILLIAMS

BY IsE WILLIAMS.
Webster defines it as being IAN attachment
to person, proceeding from intimate ac-
quaintance, and q reciprocation ef kind ofi-
ces; or it proceeds from favorable opinion ot
the amiable and respectable qualities Of an
others mind"
Accepting this as correct, then where there
are no amiRble and respectable qualities Visi-
BILE, there can be no attachment, and the mere
return of kind offices is formality, in which
Instance friendship cannot be recognized as a
principle. But considering the term in its
best sense, when exercised fer the promotion
of the happiness and good of another, it is an
excellent principle, and partakes efthe nature
of benevolenee, of love, in which case only
can it be considered genuine or true friend
ship.
Ore of the inspired writers says that 'iihe
friendship Of the world is eDmity 10 God" by
which l understand him to meau, counting the
favor of others with the view of gratifying
selfish lusts; such as the desire for accumula-
ting property or sems other unworthy object
Now true friendship belongs to the cata-
ogue OF good names, and the exercise of it not
only confers benefits on its object, bnt it re-
coils back on its donor, giving an inward sat
isfacton, which amply repays all costs. The
soul that is not capable OF receiving and re-
turning kind actions, is impervious to affection
and all the finer susceptibilities Of man's ua-
ture; and nothing shsFt Of divine grace can
penetrate it. Indeed it were doubtful if such
were not a maniac.
To him neither nature nor natures God
have any attractions.
The singing of birds, and the ripping oI
streams make for him no melody. The set
ting sunlight, nor the shining stars afford nc
beauty.
But where this principle doth truly exist, it
gathers in its trail other social and moral vir-
tues, each adding to the luster of the other;
and every revolution the possessor makes
among circle of acquaintspces, increases fra
ternal feeling, love for virtue and conscious
ness of living in the hearts of others
Couple with this desire for "dsing geod
to the souls as well as the bodies of others,
together with an intelligent faith in the great
Father, and we have motive power that
will be irresistible in its effects and influence
II were GOd-given privilege to be thus
endowed.

gELF-RELIANCE,

The success of individuals 10 ife is greatly
owing to their early learning to depend upon
their own reaourses. Money, or the expecta-
tion Of it by Inheritance, has ruined more men
than the want Of it ever did. Teach yonng
men to rely upon their own efforts, to be fru-
gal and Industrious and you have furnished
them with productive capital which no man
can ever wrest from them.
