An 1mchothts etcs
The summer of 1870 has closed on earth
forever. 1t has gone by. and is now
numbered in the long list of summers
past. To US, ia this latitude, ii has been
one of unusual interest. The extraordin-
airy heat which it has been our lot TO en-
dure and the more than ordinary amour,
of sickness which now prevails, mark
this as season of unusual severity ;
and our citizens will long remember the
summer of 1870.
Never before in the history OF this Ie-
gion, nus there been better prospect OF
crops in genera. /; and especially is this
true of the corn crop. It certainly is
cheering to the industrious farmer,-whC
through the long sweltering days of sum-
MGR has tOiled mid sweat and dust,--to
look upon his fields of stately stalks,
loaded with huge ears of ripening corn.
The potato crop, however, will be
short, not becaues the season is unfavor-
able but because of The wasteiul impe l.
inence of "big bugs" 1--WE do not mean
the "big bugs of our city, known as
the hard shell cap--potato bugs. They
have completed their work of destruction;
and are now on strike. God grant that
they may find speedy passage to other
quarters, with less provender to satisfy
their rayeHous appetiIcs. Two years gra-
tuitous boarding in this region, is as
much as our patience is capable of endn-
ring.
How mach we need rain. The earth is
dry aud parched, thirstipg for the genia,
shower.
Some delight in the music ofthe Spheres
Others IN the gentle eadences of the
signing winds, while others listen TO the
mingled melodies OF the woodland Choir
listers This is al well enough but, the
music most needed just now is:
The patter of the rain upon the roof"
Nor would We make any objections, 10
having as an accumpaniment,a few trills
or shakes IN thunder detonations, from
the orchestra of storms,--any way, is
matters not which, only that we once
more hear
" The patter of the rain upon the shin
g'es of the roof"
But as / have said. san mer is over
and Autumn with fruits and flowers is
here. May the cooling winds of this de-
lightful season, drive sickness from our
borders, and restore 10 health those who
are suffering upper The affecting hand of
disease.
Yes, autumn is here; and although our
earth is daily nearing the suns ocean fires,
yet thanks 10 the Wise Creator, it Is at
the same time putting itself in such a
position as TO be less effected by bis heat !;
hence our days and nights will soon grow
cool and pleasant. But while this is the
case in this latitude We must remember
that ii is not so in more southern cline.
To our neighbors across the line, the days
and nights grow warmer and warmer,
and while we are seeking comfort around
the blazing fire, from the cold and frost,
they are reclining under the shade of the
Palms which stand up thick and UNI
brageous all over the land - thus screen
ing their almost naked bodies from the
suns scorching heat.-But, with us
Tis summer 70 more-the warm days. are past;
And the voice OF pale Autumn is heard in the blast.
And when crops all gathered and put into store.
Let us all take psprr-ths REPUBLICAN, ard more.
