Breaks rosy aud red 10 the sky,
And the deep bldshmg clouds give the warning
That the reign Of the day-god e nigh.
When the sweet notes Of Ray warblsrs trilling,
Bursting firth frum each green, leafy tree,
Ny whole soul with glad music is SLING,
And the song IN my heart Il of thses
When the high summer noon.tids is burning,
And ! rest 10 some cool, fragrant shade,
NY true heart to its green fnndly turning,
Al my thoughts are Of thee, dearest maid.
What a bright gladstone tisk would be mine,

To guide thee through lifc's stormy sea,
Life's best flowers round thy pathway TO twine,
love,
Aud shield all its sorrows from thee.

As Il hastes ~ its hume in the sea,
While the soft moonbeanis trembingly quiver
Through forest, Ger tnoorland and lea.
And the slars, one by one, cleaning brightly /.
Slowly light up the heavens blue sea,
And l'm watching their calm beauty nightly
While my lone heart is dreaming Of thee.
Oh. thy dark eyes would open in wonder
At the love that thy life doth enfuld.
Could those bright. quiet stars shining yondsr,
Whisper e'er what to them ! have told
How Of thee am dreaming forever,
AT morning. at noon, and at night,
Weaving plans that can bless our lives never,
Dreaming dreams that can never grow bright

Bright tPTOspects.-The New York Herald
has cleaned an immense mass Of reports con-
cerning the condition OF the crops from its ex
changes from all portions of the country, from
which it appears that with but very few excep-
tions the prospect of an abundant harvest is
everywhere promising. From the South, partie.
ularly, the information is encouraging. In some
places the frost has niPped in the bud the peach
blossoms, and diminished returns may be antic-
ipated from those districts when the ripening
period arrives. The season in this section of
the country is at least month in advance Of
last year, and from reports from different parts
of this county we feel safe in estimating the
crop being put in this Spring as one-third larger
than any former year. Altogether il is possible
from present observations to predict another
year Of plenty and richness.

EXTENDED USE OF STEAM-In Great
Britain steam power is employed equal to
the labor of 400, 900, 600 of men, and in
the United States ii is equal 10 130, ,000, 600.
1t gives speed to the iron steed surprising
that of the fleetest Arab, and it moves the
press which daily prints the records of our
morals and the transactions of our lives.
Perhaps the City of Glasgow, where Watt
invented his engine, affords the best illus
tration to be found anywhere respecting
what steam power has done for some COM
munities. In 1856 its population was only
%, ,O0( tits now 500, 900. Then no man
could be found in it possessing sufficient
wealth and enterprise to invest one thou,
sand pounds in Watts engine; now it is
the engineering metropolis of the world,
furnishing nearly all the great iron steam
ships for the merchant navies of every ma
ton in Europe.

A Practical Joke and its Result

fell a resident of that city. whom they
call Jones for convenience sake. He was
an eccentric individual, and his fellow
workmen in the manufactorY where he
was employed, sought to indulge in little
fun at his expense, and succeeded in get
ting q letter mailed at New York address
ed to him, stating that, by the death of a
distant relative in England, he had fallen
heir to the sum of 500, 900, and that a So
licitor had ceme over to New York to hunt
him up. Jones received the letter, and
spoke of it in good faith to his fun-loVing
companions, who gravely urged him TO
! write to prominent lawyer IN New York,
stating the case and asking the legal gen
tleman to see about it. Jones was foolish
enough to take this advice. In due time,
much to the establishment of the prettiest
co-incidents in the world happened to be
at that time engaged in looking up per
son of exactly the same name as our Mr.
