The WEEAT CRoP,-We have made
considerable inquiry with regard to the
wheat crop, and we are convinced that
the damage done by the late very Sc
we're cold weather is much exaggerated
by the fears Of farmers. There is no
doubt but that the entire crop has been
In some small degree injured, but gen.
orally the injury Is, as yet, not serious.
And in .all cases. where most injury is
reported, we have asccrtained the soil
is naturally wet and spongey, and that
but little care was taken in putting in
the grain. So, upon the whole, we see
no cause for alarm. But We do see
abundant reason for q change for the
better, in the common mode Of putting
in the wheat crop. Wheat must neces-
sarAy continue to be one Of the leading
crops on our farms, and we must learn,
and put In practice, the very best mode
Of c~ultivating it. But of this more at
another time, and elsewhere. Colam.

Public Taste.

The extraordinary patronage IN larg'
cities Of late to the spectacular dram;
marks a new era in public taste mncl
10 he %deplored. The readers Of thu
Home Journal will remember oul
words of disapprobation Of the Blacl
Crook which We confess we went to
Nashville to witness. This exhibition
OF splendid scenery and almost nude
women in the character Of ~faiiics had q
"run' in Nashville for about one
month. In New York we believe it
was . Hbrilliant' success for . whole
year. But il is well enough to shirk
the seeming duty of exposing the real
cause OF its success, for such duty
would involve the use OF words that
would crate upon the auricular tympa
nuns Of our readers. We leave them
TO draw the inference when we state
that aside from the scenic display the
Crook WAS u meaningless piece ofbal
dordaslI. Forty GRITTY half. clad girls,
many perhaps whose lives would not
tally with the requirements Of virtue,
i'll dancing and assuming rather repul-
sivc attitudes, would have shocked to
death The PuritNns who used TO think il
impicty for q man to kiss his wife on
tho Sabbath. And these exhibition arc
attended mainly by the elite, so-callcd!
We say the spectacular drama has
marked q most ~dcplorable change in
public taste. But We arc glad to chron
iclc a change for the better in prospect,
80 far as the stage is concerned. The
human form undisgliscd amid fairy
representations, like the serpent hid
among the flowers, is about to give way .
TO legitimate drama, and celebrated 9
plnywrights who have for 4 year or so s
been forced into the background, are c
coming forward to take the lead. This n
thought leads us TO believe that public n
taste has been Disguised and is conva- l.

Peace and plenty spring up in the track

There is q beautiful lesson to be
