THEgHARvEsT OF 1867 A Northern ex-
change says that an accurate observer Of ag-
ricultural matters reports with regard to the
harvest of 1867 the following as the probable
comparative crops Of the several States :
Illinois is much. the largest producer of
Indian corn more than one-sixth oil 6he
whole crop Of the country being grown there,
and also the largest producer Of oats (more
than twenty per cent. Of the whole) AID OF
hay more than twenty per cent. Pennsylva-
MIA takes the lead in the production Of rye
nearly one-third Of. the product Of the whole
country-and in buckwheat oyer forty-two
per cent. New Jersey produces more rye
than any other State, accordingto population.
New York takes the lead in the production
of barley; about forty per cent of the whole
country. Virginia takes the lead in tobacco !;
about thirty per cent. New York, Pennsyl-'
vania and New jersey together produce two
thirds of all the rye. New York stands Tie
tenth State in the production of Indian corr,
being exceeded by Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Iowa, Tennessee. Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Kentucky and Missouri. In wheat New
York is exceeded by Illinois, Wisconsin,
Michigan and Iowa. Illinois alone has in
corn about 5 100000 acres in wheat, 2, 1885,
600 acres; in rye, 345,OO0 acres; in cats,
$4,000 acres; in barley, 4l,c0J acres

HOPE.

Never despair? The darkest cloud
That ever doomed will pass away;
The longest night will yield to dawn
The dawn will kindle into day;
What if around thy lonely bark
Break fierce and high the waves of sorrow,
Stretch every oar there's land ahead
7 And thou wilt gain the port tomorrow.
When fortune frowns and summer friends,
Like buds that fear storm, depart;
Some, if thy breast hath tropic warmth,
viii stay and nestle round thy heart
If thou art poor, no joy is won,
No good is gained, by sad repining;
Gems buried in the darkest earth,
May yet be gathered for the mining.
There is not lot, however sad,
There is not roof, however low,
But has some joy to make it glad,
Some latent bliss to soothe its woe
The light of Hope will linger near,
When widest beats the hearts emotion:
talisman when breakers roar
To guide us Ger life's weary ocean.
The farmer knows not if his fields,
With flood or drought, or blight must cope,
He questions not the tickle skies,
But ploughs, and sows and tolls in Hope
Then up! and strive and dare, and do,
b Nor doubt harvest thou wilt gather;
IT'S time to labor and to wait,
And trust in God for genial weather.

NEWSPAPER SrYLE-The editor has liv-
ed to very little purpose who has not learn-
ed that true newspaper style differs as
much from magazine style as Dicke:ss
from Lord Bacon. Newspaper articles are
not studied-they are read-read hastily
and carelessly. They are almost always read
at time when mems minds are full Of
business. If they have no salient points,
they are hardly read at all. A man at
leisure will take up and read the carefully
elaborated articles Of the Magazine, but what
he catches from newspaper he catches at a
glance 1t must be striking and bright, Or t
will have no power to daguerreotype Itself
in his mind. l

CoFF1Ns WITH BELLs-The French rival
our countrymen in the novelties to which III
ventive genius is applied. Among late list
of patents granted at Paris is one for "cof-
fins with bells (cercueizs sonnettes) for cases
of premature burial" This device must be
an inexpressible consolation to those people
whose chief anxiety is lest they should be
buried alive. But the great question is how
the merits Of the invention were tested. Did
some ardent devotee of science allow himself
to be prematurely cofdned and sealed up for
some minutes, until the bells could be heard
above the ground? It strikes one that the
chances of anybody being conveniently with
in hearing at the time the bells were tinkled,
even could they be heard, must be so slight
as to be hardly worth counting on.

Yours, very truly,


Extract of a Letter from DR.. VIM Darlington,

In another letter. dated March 26th, 1867: $50

Indeed the report is, that difference is seen be-

Mr.. Fenwick Hall, an Experienced Farmer, re-

he has tried our Nonpareil Guano, and it is the
first Guano he ever saw any benefit from on his
farm.

Necessity Of Love,

Carlyle-is it not Says that to "cease to
love is to cease to live" True it is that the
heart is sending out the tendrils Of its afec.
tions after some object continually. But it
can never be content with anything save God
alone Man is always longing for something
new bus no sooner is the coveted object at
tanned than it pals upon his taste. ,.Nt.
And this strong necessity of loving some
thing makes man form idols for himself,
which he invests with fancied projections and
when all these fade away in his grasp, aud he
finds their unsubstantiability, he must ethe.
become misanthrope or Christian. When
a maa has learned to know the infinite love of
God in Christ, then he discovers something
which will not grow cold; for the comparison
of Gods long suffering and repeated pardon
with his own ingratitude, convinces him that
it is an Interchangeable love.

INDIAN Fashions A correspondent CT
the Cincinnati Commercial, in a sketch Of
the recent council at Fort Sully, says:
"The Indians were attired in their Sunday
clothes-plenty of paint and feathers. Six
tribes of Sioux were represented. ley
we're droll crowd all past the prime Of lie,
all painted, some yellow, some black, some
red All sorts Of clothes were worn, even
one fellow appeared in cast-off Brigadier
Generals coat; army cavalry hats were quite
in vogue, and their hair was generally tied
up in two braids which were inserted in fox
skins about eighteen inches long, and hung
down over their hearts. Dirty shirts We're
decidedly fashionable, it being Indian etiquet-
tie to put on shirt and wear it out, and Oh
no condition to remove it till it wears cut or
to have it washed. AS to pantaloons they
wear nothing but the legs, cutting out the
seats as soon as they are given to them
