sooner Life Insurance will come rest on its true

Reflections ON a sabbath Eve.


The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord
How much of the lofty II AM do we
discover in the ample volume of nature. /
In every emerald leaf that gaily hutters
in the breeze, in the green velvet carpet
which oyerspreads the face OF nature, IN
the beautiful flowers of rainbow hue,
which adorn the gardens. savannas, dells
and sylvan shades we see the finger OF
Infinite Love and Omnipotent Wisdom,
which orders all things, and feel that He
is the sublime and Omnipresent Creator,
. Who doeth according to his will in the
armies of heaven, and among the inhah-
itants of earth-good unto all etc.
And how manifest is the universal and
impartial distribution Of benefcence to
the erring and needy creatures of earth!
Look abroad upon the brilliant king of
day, are not his beams shed alike on the
splendid dome of royalty and the hnmble
cot Of poverty? Observe yon descending
shower Does it not water the arid
vineyards of the evil and the good And
with what unison are the Planetary sys-
TENS directed in there course And also
the seasons perform their revolutions with
the incest punctuality And from the
! loftiest seraph of Elysium, to the meanest
insect Of the dust. all, all fill their sphere,
and are supplied with every needed want.
| He feedeth the aerial tribes, and clothes
the lilies of the leas. Aud if our Heav-
enly Father supplies all the mundane
wants of his sentient creatures, which, he
declares. are of more value than the spar
row, and lilies of the field, to which he
/ extendeth munieent token of his care !;
| if he cherish and decorate these perlshlng
| forms. which soon must be decomposed !;
| will he not, in parental love, provide for
our immortal spirits, which shall exist
throughout the wastefess ages of eternity?
Notwithstanding we enjoy every requisite
blessing in time, there is nothing in the
vast domain of nature, which can give a
satisfactory response to his momentous
query. Nothing in her brightest scenes
that reflects beam upon, or points to a
fairer and sublimer existence, beyond the
sombre portals of the tomb. Nothing
which can assure US of resurrection to
endless life and glorious beautitude? But
blessed be our Heavenly Father, we are
not left in Pagan shadows and doubt on
| this all important point. The brilliant
| Sun of the Gospel beams upon all this
darkness! It scirtillates when other lights
have grown dim, to cheer and guide
never to allure and destroy 1t is the
lamp of Fathers .undying love. It says
g Let not your hearts be troubled-take
no thought for the morrow" Here is
sweet consolation and undecaying hope
Here are leaflets that never wi.her, fol
they bloom in Paradise. The Son Of the
Gospel is risen never to decline, but will
irradiate the whole moral universe ere il
withdraws its brilliant beams, or is alb.
sorbed in the fathomless ocean of infinite
love.
Let man awake to love, and raise
! harmonious songs of heavenly praise,
To his Eternal Sire
Ie lovely youth and blooming fair,
Your Makers bauudiess love DECLARE.

The Wheat Crop.

The June report of tn Department of Ag-
riculturc says of the prospects of the wheat
crop:
The season has been moderately propi-
tious as whole, though not precisely as
farmers would have it in many localities
There have been few showers and much
sunshine, pushing the crop into early
maturity, but promising a yield not equal
to the Is to II bushels per acre of last
year, and scarcely equal to that of 1868,
but with an average Of II bushels. In
many places the prospect was never
better. In some localities there is com
plant of too little rain, in others too
much. The rainfall in May was quite
small in New England, New York, gen
orally throughout the West and in the
cotton States. In the Atlantic States
south Of New York, OH the contrary,
rains have been excessive. In New
York much of the winter grain is not in
an average condition in Washington
county sit seldom looked worse at this
season of the year," it is small and un-
promising in Genesce; the late sown is
unthriity in Livingston. Spring grain
looks better. In New Jersey, wheat
has ''made an extraordinary growth" in
Cumberland, has "much improved" in
lluntGrdon, the season has been unusu-
ally favorable in Burlington, and is look
ing well throughout the State. The
crop presents an improved appearance in
Pennsylvania, promises well in Mary land,
and n good average crop is cutting in
Virginia and North Carolina, with little
loss from rust or falling in consequence
9t heavy rains. The crop in the South
is generally good, though light in some
places, as the result of drouth The
Tappahannock Qrom the Department of
Agricu,turc) is a great success in this
region, and is very generally preferred.
In the Red River region, Texas, the
weather has been cool, and the crop late,
but unusually fine It. has been injured
there only by hail and other storms. The
crop will be fair in Tennessee, with some
drawbacks as lodging, rust, etc, during
recent heavy rains.
In Illinois, Il reduction of perhaps Is
per cent may be expected in the yield :;
in some counties the crop appeared well !;
in some, fears are entertained that little
more than halt n crop will be gathered.
When the plant had II feeble vitality at
the start, the dry weather has nearly
destroyed il. Accounts from Indiana
are variable, ranging from failure to full
ness Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas, in flct all the Western
States, report more diScouragements
from feeble growth, drouth, hail, rain
and rust, than for two years past, and
render probable much smaller aggre-
gate production than that of last year,
and very likely smaller yield than that
Of 1868.
