arc going on in The world, VIC have the
pleasure to inform the said wcrld that in
E.lgeticld tl..rc Is to be, this season, An
abundance IF ffr't!
For years we have net witnessed such
All inu1datinn Of peaches they are hori-
BIS Young and fuzzy, To be sure. but safely
beyond the malice OF Jack Frost, and full
OF promise Season al;cr season, ever
since We ca,. remember, there las been
universal gru,ablng over tie niggardly
supply Of peaches; and now nature, cvl-
dently cortt>sing tic "sott impeachment" ,"
seems anxious, by her present prodiga'ity,
20 at ne for former renissness. Alas! we
have been guilty Of a sort of pun, and we
intuitivcly look around for the fool killer.
But back to the fruit! And rot only an
innndation of peaches, but Of plams, and
apples, and berries.
Before lcug, we shall nj! devorr peaches
with :, mos, perfect and delightful loose
ness. Lawyers vii! listen to their clients
with peaches in their Lands; tie broker
on the street will conclude Il bargain with
Il mouthiinl; the preacher will mount tile
pulpit With pockcltuI: while millions of
peri Tpatetics will eat, as they walk, from
morning Till night. The atmosphere will
be rcdolent wiihap peacliy fragrance, while
peach stone and riuds will mar and ii>iig-
nre the face of mother earth. And, oh!
what MAGNIFICENT specimens VIII. through
ont the Seas, II. .ricc the editors table!
We totter with delight rs we think If it!
The only people discontentcd with the
prmfi,sion will be the growers. who can
scarcely gire n~oy their fruit. Let lis offer
them our confidence Mt least, inasmucll as
they suffer for the public good.
We Southern people are rot used to
f;,vor< Let us be profoundly ,hanktul
for the smallest. And if We can do no
better, land certainly the prospect is b"d),
let us eat peaches ard die !-L9qJNsId al
