Advcntists, Convention MT Boston.

BOSTON, April T. 1868.
The Adventists OF Massachusetts-of whom there
Is a considerable number-are gradually recedng
from the belief Of the immediate coming Of Christ
and the destruction OF all things earthly. There has
been convention OF them assembled here, and their
general declarations have been adverse TO the former
radical premillennal doctrine, although the basis OF
Christian life and character q security for saliva
ton In the event OF possible millennium, which
some assert may not be far distant, Is urged Gen.
orally, however, the attendants not of the belief,
but seem to counsel preparations for the hereafter,
the same rs other Teligionlsts.

Win to-day commences the last week of the Len
N season, commonly known as Holy Week. II has
also been styled the Great Week, the Painful Week.
tie Week Of Sorrows, the Days OF the Cross, &C
xhsse designations are given because during this

ueced with the immolati0n of the Son Of God for the
redemption OF mankind. To-day is celebrated the

Gfumphal entry OF Christ into Jerusalem wnen the

portions of 1t distributed among the CONGREGATIONS
Owing to the limited precinct around tne S churcn
ehces in this city, the grandest portion OF the cere
monies cannot, In all cases, be performed. TINS
consists Of an impressive procession formed Dy the
clergy, choristers and congregation, each person
bearing In his hand a branch or the blessed palm.
Besides the blessing Of the palm and the process s
aan the history Of the passion, according TO st.

In great number Of instances the good work is
still going on and in many more only the first fruits
have been garnered, so thot these statements give
only an inadequate idea Of what the Spirit OF the
Lord is accomplishing In the churches.

AMERICAN MANNERS AN American lady who
has been residing for two or three years in
Southern Germany writes as follows ia a recent
private letter: II do not wonder at the ideas
foreigners have of Us if they only see such Amer
cans as ! do. One Chicagoan, whom I met at
Mrs. IS the other evening, took the palm
from all others. He was very neatly and prop
erly dressed; indeed, he would have been quite
too well dressed if more dressed, yet he paraded
excuses for being unprepared to meet ladies lat
tea)-he had left his trunk - had only a valse,
ETC.. etc. he told how far he had travelled in a
wonderfully short space of time, adding that no.
body but an American could go II in that style.
He intims;ed that he was in electric communica.

The Crops In the South.
LOUISIANA,
From the shrerepor. News. I7th I


From the Shreveport News, 18th
The rains the present week have made roads
and streams almost impossible. Corn is forward,
orchards give fine prospects, and farmers are in
good spirits.
From the Thibodaux Sentinel, 2tthl
The weather has been entirely too cold during
the last week for the growing crops. We believe
that planters have pretty generally replanted
their corn, and we hope soon to have some hot
weather that will start everything more rapidly.
TEXAS.
The Dallas Herald seems to confirm the sad &C.
counts Of the wheat crop in Northern Texas.
That paper Is informed that owing to excessive
freezings and consequent destruction of much of
the wheat, the farmers Of Collin county have
plowed up the remainder and planted cotton.
The Herald says that in former years the average
wheat crop of this county was twenty.sour and a
half bushels TO the acre, now from four to five.
The Herald thinks bad seed is the main eanse OF
this falling of. The grasshOppers have done much
injury 10 the gardens, but very little yet to the
fields, and though larger, are not so numerous as
formerly, and have commenced their migrsti0ns.
From the Tyler Reporter, 18th
II is said that the prospects for wheat crop in
the interior are very poor. This should admonish
farmers of the necessity of making every pos
siole effort to secure large yield OF corn, so that
corn bread at least may be abundant and cheap.
Peas, potatoes apd other provision crops should
also receive proper attention.

Take heart of hope, and heed my words
Thou wilt be happy yet
Sweet peace will strike her charmed chords
And soothe thee to forget;
The golden years as hours shall fee,
The brighter for the past.
NAV these brief tears thy bitterest be-
The sweetest still the last!
meier could think that one brief cloud
Could darken DER thy lot,
Before that youthful error how'd
Despair shall claim thee not!
IT'S true for hearts like thine that bleed,
Fate's keenest shafts are whet;
And yet know.-I feel, indeed
Thou wilt be happy yet!
The coming years we may not read;
Yet are we not assured
No patient pang-no generous deed
But meets its sure award!
Crush back the tears in those blue eyes
With pride and anguish wet;
Lock up believe thy sibyl wise
Thou wilt be happy yeti
