The Crops in England.

+ The condition and prospect of this
/ year 5 crops IN England are thus summed
| up by recent London agricultural Jour
| nal:
The wheat in the north and cast are
certainly not first rate From north York
! shire we learn that there is thin and de-
fectlve plant on the heavy soils, and in
the West Riding the crop cannot be an
! average. In North Lincolnshire the
wheats are reported 10 promise less than
an average; and in south Lincolnshire
and the Great Fen Level the crop may be
an average, bet will certainly be late. In
Cambridgcshire wheat looks tolerably
well; the same is true IN Norfolk and
Suffolk, and in Essex the crop is good
upon heavy land, but on the light lands
poor. In the southern counties the wheat
is caring three weeks late this year, and
it is reported doubtful if full average
can be attained And the midland coun-
ties do not promise more than an average
wheat crop, even with the best Of weather
The prospects OF barley are equally IN
satisfactory, the weather having been too
cold for producing heavy crops.
In Norfolk and Suffolk the barley
looks we'll on highly farmed lands, but on
thin soils IS defective, backward and vel
low
Oats, beans and peas tell more favor
able tale. The potatoes come M irregu
larry and have to some extent thrown out
supertubers instead of putting up a Wig
orous top. As far as probabilities strike
us now, we anticipate rather late har-
vest-that is, three weeks or month
later than last year-and yield of wheat
and barley somewhat below an average :;
an average, however, being possible if we
should have a settled sunny July"

An Incident.

On Saturday night some weeks
ago a gentleman was walking leis-
urely down Broadway, apparently
very much occupied by his thoughts
when be was interrupted by an
appeal fer charity. On turning
to see who had accoSted him, he
saw a woman about thirty-five
years of age, wan and thin, but
who still retained traces of for
mer beauty, and who, from her
manner, had evidently mixed with
sthe more refined classes of society.
She said that her husband was
bedridden, her children sick and
furnishing, as we'll as suffering
from cold. The gentleman
thought a moment, and came to
the conclusion to accompany the
woman to her home, and, If her
story proved true, to relieve her.
Having informed her of his inten-
tions, She willingly led the way,
and, upon their arrival at a tene-
ment house in Baxter street, her
statement was fully corroborated.
The sick husband and three chill
dren, scarcely covered by their
rags, were huddled together in one
corner, trying to keep from freez-
ing, by combining the warmth OF
their bodies, and their pinched
countenances plainly showed that
cold was the only thing they suf-
fered from. The gentleman prompt.
ly sent for a physician, and then
gave the woman a roll of bills,
which, on opening, she found to
amount to the sum of fifty dollars.
He waited until the physician ar
rived, when he ordered him to
attend to the suffering family and
send his bill to him. The human
itarian refused to give the wo-
man his name, but her husband
recognized in their visitor no 9TH
er than John Morrissey, member
of Congress. This incident was
communicated to us direct from
the house agent.-Mea0 York C0ur-

Catching the Sioux In
dian Girls.

Polygamy is practiced IN the
tribe, but not extensively. A man
may have as many wives as he can
keep, but he must buy them
The universal price of a wife is a
pony, or for a white man an Amer
lean horse. A squaw once bought
becomes the immediate property
of the purchaser, but he must
catch her. Men have bought
wives and never been able to catch
them; most Of them, however, are
quite willing to be caught. An
Indian, several years ago, took a
fancy to an officers horse and tried
in every way to purchase him, but
the officer would not part with the
animal. Finally, the Indian of
fered his sister, beautiful girl, il
exchange for the horse. Fearing
he would steal or MAIN the ami
NAL, and not willing to offend him,
the officer gave the Indian the
horse, but he declined to receive
the girl in return. The young
lady, however, was informed she
was sold, and SO the matter stood.
After waiting for long time for
her husband to come and claim her,
she one day, as he rode by camp,
put herself in his way, when see.
ing he took no notice of her, she
naively asked: "Why don't you
catch me ?" The officer, who had
never seen her before, inquired
what she meant, when she round
ly told him she was his wife, and
not at all pleased that he had not
come for her. He never claimed
her, but she was regarded by her
tribe as the white mans squaw,
and at last accounts was still sim
gle and waiting for her husband.
Some of the Sioux are quite rich
in horses, cattle and furs, and ed
ucate their children. / am told
Spotted Tail has two Of his daugh.
tiers now at school in the North,
and that the Misses Spotted TaiL
are very good-looking and intel
ligent girls. Generally the wo
men are homely, being compelled
to labor hard, while the men do
little but hunt, fish, and make war.
Now and then, however, a hand.
some Sioux girl is seen, but al
most invariably she has lice in her
head. Cracking lice is one Of the
occupations of the Sioux women.
If woman's husband leaves her
she does not lose caste, but can
marry again. A man who leaves
one wife generally finds it difficult
to get another. If a girl is unfor-
tnnate, her lover must pay one,
TWO, or three horses, or her friends
will kill him. In all cases Of
rape, the penalty IS death,

Brad-AWls Intellectual.

The buffaloes found in the tel.
egraph poles of the overland line
a new source of delight on the
treeless prairie-the novelty of
having something to scratch a.
gainst. But it was expensive
scratching for the telegraph COM
pany; and there, indeed, was the
rub, for the bisons shook down
miles of wire daily. A bright idea
struck somebody to send to St.
Louis and Chicago for all the brad
avis that could be purchased, and
these were driven into the poles
with the view to wound the ami
mails and check their rubbing pro-
pensity. Never was a greater
mistake. The buffaloes were de-
lighted. For the first time they
came to the scratch sure Of a SEN
sation in their thick hides that
thrilled them from horn to TAIL
They would go fifteen miles to find
a brad-awl. They fought huge
battles around the poles containing
them, and the victor would proud
ly climb the mountain heaps of
rump and hump Of the fallen, and
scratch himself into bliss until the
brad-awl broke or pole came down.
There has been no demand for
brad avis from the Kansas region
since the first invoice.

GOOD BYE, MY BOY, GOD BLESS YOU
Song and Chorus.

My boyish heart near broke with grief,
When first went to roam
Across life's dark and stormy sea,
Away from friend and home.
My poor old mother wept and said
''Oh, don't let me distress you,
But go aad take mothers prayer,
Good bye, my boy, God bless you,
But go and take mothers prayer,
Good bye, my boy, God bless YOU"
CHORUS.
Where'er you wander in this life,
LetsOrrows neer cypress you,
There's pleasure IN the sad sweet words,
Good bye, my boy, God bless you.
When sad and lonely, OIL feel
Mine eyes grow dim with tears,
Wheneer think of feeting joys
I've seen in bOyhood's years,
But sadder still to think of her
Who said. ''may Joys earess you,
And then with trembling lips she said,-
Good bye, my boy. God bless you,'
And then with trembling lips she said
Good bye, my boy, God bless you"
CHORUS.
Let sorrows ne'er Oppress you,
There's pleasure in the sad sweet words,
Good bye, my boy, God bless you.
I'd give the world were't mine to give,
To see my mothers face,
But Oh! she's gons,-I feel the loss,
No other fills her place.
III ne'er forget her parting words,
''Remember, I'll csress you,
When sickness or when sorrow comes,
Good bye, my boy, God bless you,
Now 90 and take mothers prayer,
Good bye, my boy, God bless you
CHORUS.
Where'er you wander in this life,
Let sorrows ne'er oppress you,
There's pleasure in the sad sweet words,
Good bye, my boy, Sod bless you.

Two Been Thinking

I've been thinking. I've been thinking,
What a glorious world were this.
Did folks mind their business more,
And mind their neighbor's less;
For Instance, you and !, my friend.
Are sadly prone to talk
OF matters that concern us not,
And others follies mock.
Ive been thinking, if we'd begin
To mind our owa affairs.
That possibly our neighbors might
Contrive TO utanase theirs;
We've faults enough at home to mend
II may be so with others
. ltwould seem strange il it were not,
Since all mankind are brothers. p.
Oh !! would that We had charity "a ~
For every man an woman;
Forgiveness is the !. \, Of those
Who know "to oyr is human"
Then let us Danish jealousy
Let's lit our falicn brother;
And as we journey down lfe's road,
Do good to one sncther.
