HOPS.

The editor of the Ne,o Jersey Courier a n.
swers correspondent about Hops, as fol-
lows. We don't see why his answer won't
apply rs well to our county as to New jer-
sey. Why not try the Hop culture, farmers
of Cecil?
There are no lands in the United States,
where Hops can be grown so easily as in our
section. We have seen in the White loamy
gardens, around the houses of the operatives,
at one of our blast furnaces, hop vines grow
ing most luxuriantly, and Welding two
pounds Of hops to the vine. An acre will
furnish room for 1900 vines, and if they all
yield as the vines mentioned, and there is
no reason why they should not, then there
will be yield of 2400 pounds of hops a
year, which at present prices will afford a
revenue Of $1,000 per acre year. There is
but little land in our county, or on the line
of our railroad, that will not grow this crop
literally. The capability of these lands FOR
hop culture has been fully tested Again,
the hop louise, that pest Of hop raisers, does
not trouble the vines here, but the surest
way to rid yourself of the pest, is to raise
your own zines Secondly, New Jersey
hops are eagerly sought after, bringing from
five to eight cents a pound more than those
raised in other locaities-reason, the salts
in our lands naturally impart favor to the
hop, which causes it to be eagerly sought
after.
1t is II clean business, not laborious or irk-
some, and brings the ready dollars as fast as
you Can sack them up, and get them into
market. 1t is an occupation that will fur
nish pleasant employment for ladies and
children. A good hop yard is worth gold

CosT OF MONARCHY. -Bayard Taylor, in
letter from Florence, to the Tribune, thus
speaks Of the financial affairs Of the Italian
Kingdom
Nevertheless, the great failure Of the
Government is in lhe Department Of Fl
nance. The expenditures appear to be as
reckless and ill-rcgulated as the taxation is
oppressive. \ large part of the revenue is
eaten up by the expense of collecting it.
An immense standing army and internal po
lice are kept up, yet robberies were never
more frequent, or brigandage SO rampant
Fifteen hundred persons $50 AM informed
are employed as auditors, clerks, &C., in the
Navy Department. and the nation possesses
scarcely one serviceablc feet. The King
gets S3,000,000 year, and has GOO horses
in his stables, and the country needs school:
in every province. The seculalization OF
the church property will bring a temporary
relief but an entire reform in the administra
| ton of the finances can alone save the coun
try from ruin"

DRAW 1T MILD.
IN IMITATION OF TENNYsoN. J

The sun is in the sky, mother, the flowers
are springing fair,
And the melody of woodland birds is stirring
in the cir.
The river smiling to the sky, glides onward
to the sea.
And happiness is everywhere, oh, mother,
but with me-
They are going to the church, mother-I
hear the marriage bell;
1t rises o er the upland, it haunts me like a
knell;
He leads her on his arm, mother, he cheers
her faltering step!
And she clings closely to his side, she does,
the dcmirep.
They are crossing by the stile, mother,
where we so oft have stood,-
The stile beside the thorn-bush at the cor
ner Of the wood:
The boughs that oft have echoed back the
words that won my ear,
Now bend their blossoms O or him as he
leads his bridal fere.
He will pass beside the stream, mother,
where first my hands he pressed,
By the meadow where, with quiverng lip.
his passion he confessed,
And down the hedge rows where we've stray
ed again and yet again;
\ ct he will not think of me, mother, his
broken-hearted Jane
He said that | was proud, mother; he said
looked for gold;
He said | did not love him-that my words
were few and cold;
He said kept him off and on, in hopes of
higher game,
And it may be that did, mother, but who
hasn't done the same?
did not know my heart, mother, know it
now too late;
thought that without pang could wed
some nobler mate
But no nobler sutton sought me, and he has
gone elsewhere,
And my heart is gone, and am left to wither
in despair.
Now lay me in my bed, mother, my head is
throbbing sores
And, mother, prythee, let the sheets be duly
aired before;
And, il you would do pleasure to your poor,
desponding child,
Draw me a pot of beer, mother, and mother,
draw it mild
