tested these qualities in It's last issue,

THH SEASONS. These, Almighty
Father, these are but the varied God !;
the rolling rear is full Of Thee" So
wrote ThompIon, who tuned his exqui.
site Tyre in harmony with tho music of
the spheres, aud sang the glories and
projections of Nature, in their relations
to the seasons. June, the loyeliest
month Of the year, aud the 6rst upon
the calendar for Summer, has taken its
departure. Lowell, one of the sweetest
poets has sung of June:
Oh what is so rare as day in June?
Then. II ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth II II be 10 tune,
And over il softly her warm ear lays.
Whether we look or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur or see il glisten;
Every elod feels stir of might,
An instinct within It that reachcs and towers,
And, grasping blindly above 1t for light
Climbs 10 a soul in grass and flowers;
The flush Of life may well be seen
Thr4ting back over hills and valleys;
\ The cowslip star ties in meadows green,
The buttercup catches the sun in its chalicc,
| And there's never a leaf or blade too mean
To be some happy creatures palace.
Such was the poets description Of
leafy, rosy, lovely June, the sweetest oil
all the twelve. But time, on sturdy
pinion, has borne it from us, aud now
comes the Queen Of the Summer
glowing, gorgeous, fervid July. Another
poet has swectly sung Of this month:
"Proudly, lovely and serenely,
1 Power and passion In her eye,
With an aspect calm and queenly,
Comes the summer nymph, Julyj
Crowned with azure, clothed with spleudor
Gorgeous as an Eastern bride.
While the glowing hours attend her
Der the languid landscape wide"

GENTLEMEN.-.Tho undersigned COM
mittee appointed by your Society on

aud Mowers, beg leave to report, that
in addition to the preliminary trial had
during the fair on the Agricultural
Grounds they required all machines
entered for competition at the fair, to
be submitted to a further practical test
accordingly arrangements having been

lowing mowers entered the field to COM
pete for the premium, TO wit: Excel

! hey all did very good work--so
nearly alike that it is impossible for us,
in the time We could devote to their ex.
animation, to make decision entirely
satisfactory to ourselves, and at the
same time do justice to the exhibitors, or
give to the farming community that
full aud complete information which
| they may think they have the right to
expect, to wit: Thich is he best ma.
chine. We had no means of obtaining
the weight or draft of the different
machines; an important item for the
consideration of farmers when they
come to purchase.
The committee advise persons wish.
ing to purchase machines to buy the
one that suits them best in price, ma.
terial, construction, &C., as We think no
one can so amiss in selecting either Of
those exhibited. Your committee, how.

ferred by the Society be equally divided
between thl said four machines, and
that in addition to the premium, the
diploma Of the society issue to each
expressing on its face the equal merit oil
the four machines. YOUR committee be.
inc unable to distinguish any material
difference between them. though they
have some advantages over the others
