the crops Is hy no means excellent, i,
turns out better than was anticipated
some time, ago. Along the lower Mis-
slssipp frequent crcvaS<es have caused
great destruction. In Southern Illinois
tho wheat crop is said to pc a failure,
but corn IS promising well. Tn Ohio
and Indiana the wheat promises very
badly, but i'll Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota 1t is excellent. In Mary
land and Pennsylvania it is only mode

Home AND MoTnER.-IIomc, where
father and mother, brothers and sis
tors have unity of interest, sympa-
thy and affection, becomes in mature
life the most sacred picture
"That hangs OH mcmory's wall"
In after years, when the Destroying
Angcl has crossed the household, and
silenccd its familiar voices in their
death; when the hand "A changing
time has tewn down IL woodbincs
that climbed above it's pof&BA and its
windows, and when its path echo only
to the tread of strangers feet, how Of
ten does remembrance lead us back to
its sacred precincts, and make us real
izc that home of childhood is the
brightest spot the faircst oasis on the
desert oflifc. 1T is during these mo;
mcnts of rctrospcction that tho rcligi-
Gus Instructions of youth flow back
upon the soul. It is then that we
knccl again by the side Of her
Whose breast with gentle pillows
Rocked to rest our Infant woes"
and list over the prayers she taught us.
Poetry has oncirclcd the name of
"mother" with halocs of beauty, but
it's language will never be adequate to
measure her influence. 10 her tho
first years of our life bulohg, and tits
then i'll her power to plant seeds Of viz
tue that will bud and blossom in the
soul when age has plowcd its deep fur
rows in our pale checks, or covered our
looks with its snow. The prayers ofa
pious mother arc priceless legacy.
They arc like the dcws of heaven,
which first ascend from the earth to the
skies, and then descend again to bless
and revive the unfolding plant. Inf
dolity may array itself against the BIZ
bio, and its clamors may be loud
among the assemblies of men, but it
has not the courage to enter the sane
tuary ofa religious home, and there lis
ten to the earnest prayers of IL holy
mother as she points her children to
the throne of God.
