Two unsophistica.ed country lasscs
visited Niblo's in New York, during
the ballet season. When the short
skirted,, gossamer clad nymphs made
their appearance on the stage, they
became restless and iidgety.
"Oh, Annie!" exclaimed one.
Well, Marys" "a

"Hush.p ai a

wonder why amt brought US to such
place"
Hush, Mary, the folks will laugh
at you." '''N "'
After one OF two filings and q pi-
roucttc, the blushing mary said,
"oh, Annie, lets go--it ain't nice,
and ! don't feel comfortable
"Do bnsh, Mary replied the sis
ter, whose own face was scarlet,

THE wEArHER And THE CROPS.

The Yorkyille Enquirer says: "The crops
: OF the district are suffering very much for want
OF rain, and unless it comes soon the upland
corn win be destroyed, as it is now nearly five
weeks since some portions Of the district have
teen blessed with rain.- At the present writing
aitis Internally hot.
The same paper says: "Gov. Pickens has
left with US two full grown cotton bolls, plueked
= on the 11th from his fields, on which neither
guano or bone dust were used. The Governor
says the drought checked the growth Of the
cotton, but that 1t is fruiting and bearing well,
@and is only about six days behind good crop
year.. The Governor predicts that the crop OF
1858 viii not exceed two million bales"
The Edgefeld Advertiser says: "From
many sections Of our district We learn with re-
gret that the crops are suffering materially for
the want Of rain. In some localities there has
been no rain for over six weeks, and the ad-
vanced corn is now almost ruined-not posi-
BILE, even with the best seasons, to make any
thing like half crop. The bottom land corn
and that planted late, will, however, with pro-
pitious seasons, yield well, and hopes are en-
. .tertained that a suficiency of this indispensa-
bic cere.l Will be harvested, (taking the dis
trict as whole,i to meet the wants of the peo-
pie. Cotton, in consequence of the long
drouth, is still quito small, but the crop is
now in fine condition, and Will grow OF rapidly
when watered by 8 few friendly showers. Oh
for the rain, the heavenly rain, to cool the
earth, fseshen the fruits and flowers, brighten
se feinY1Sc:. the dried fields, and glad
den the hearts Of al.

grees up to Yesterday. We continue to hear
coed accounts of ths crops, and it has been
.or pleasure to personally corroborate what we
have heard, as we have witnessed the prospects
on two or three plantations, one Of which we
visited Q few days ago, and were surprised and
.,-.n,,;s to see such fine fields Of rice, which
gamaindea asiUSa us of the days Of ,yore. Although
not been much land gaqssa ssss1T We @
oern;nr that t6ev have upder cultivation. Fa-
Soreble accounts are also given Of the EisshiaIS
CROPS. Tie freedmen, as q general rule, work
better and are more alive to the necessity tor
) the same. We trust the harve:t will be an
abnndant one, and that efforts to prevent steal
ing will be successful.
