The Crops.

The weather is now dry and hot, and the
corn and cotton crops can not fail to i'm
prove rapidly. Much of the corn and cot
ton have been destroyed or injured by the
freshets, but it is not too late to plant corn.
Fears exist, however, that July may be a
dry month. If so, the prospect of an av
erage crop may be blasted.
We do not believe that the injury to the
crops by the late freshets has been as great
as represented. The injury has certainly
been serious and general, but accounts of this
kind are always exaggerated.
The weather at this time is very favorable
to saving wheat. The farmers are now very
busy. Every hour of such weather is valuable

ANEoDoTE OF DR. BEEcHER. pr. Beech CT and his daughter Catharine being or a visit to the old Connecticut homestead, took occasion to go fishing together. After whipping the brook awhile, they became separated, and the daughter returned home without any fish. Leaving her fishing tackle in the yard, hungry fowl spied the baited hook, and incontinently swallowed it, which of course cost biddy her life. The Doctor having been unsuccessful as a sports man, was about this time returning home, when he found that his horse which he had left by the roadside, had broken loose, las was apt to be the case when fastened by his master and 1t was only by some effort that the animal was captured again. As the Doctor entered the house, Miss Catharine said,
 "Well, father, what have you caught?"
 "AhorseP' said the Doctor, little gruf- ly. "What have you caught?""
 "A henl'' was the equally brief answer. = WaHfnQfoTd Circular.

TIE kiAiDEN'S PRAYER,

She rose from her delicious sleep,
And put away her soft brown hair.
AEd in n tone as low and deep
AS first whisper breathed prayer;
Her snow white hands together pre- ssed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast
Just swelling with the charms it lid
And from her long and flowing dress,
Escaped bare ana snowy foot,
Whose steps upon the earth did press
Like a new snow fake, white and mute
And there, from slurnber soft and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that slight and ma,clless form,
And huinbly prayed to be forgiven.
Oh, God, If souls uns3oiied aS-tl.tse
Need d.sily mercy from thy throne
II she upon her bended knees,
Our loycliest and purest one
She, with face as clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child of light
II she, with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day in her young years,
Au7t kneel and pray for grace from thee,
What far, far deeper need have We!
How hardly. if she win not heaven,
VIII OUR wild errors be forgiven

HOW LOST NV WHISPERS,
