Der Of years, ante 6clluaR, spent last

Your correspondent has Just ro-
turned from n trip through Clay and
Washington townships. In every part
OF both the prospect for q large
wheat crop is most excellent; the
corn, though small, looks well; apples,
the prospect is promising for a large
crop; hemp, mono seen III his travels.
Tho cool, damp weather in last
month was uufavorablc to the
CORN COMING UP,
which will throw the blowing over
first time generally lato. This
Will be a busy, pushing month with
farmers; blowing corn and
CUTTING PIE WHEAT
will have to BIO done mostly in this
month.
The spring months so long wished
tor and so much admired by many,
have passed and gone, and the first
and most beautiful of all
months has como. Of all the months
III tho year, VIC say, give US
JUNE.
"Yon may tell of the freshness
And yer,tnc Of spring,
When the bruuklrts chant music.
And biucbiris first sing;
When the meadows are drckel
With misunderstanding flowers,
In the mids Of the bowers:
But The sweetest 10 me,
Both in flower and time,
Are those that nre seen
And heard in bright June.
Queen month of the summer,
Bright crown Of the year,
Each rose, not in bud, i
t;ut in blrOn, doth :islnar.
Like u m iii at miturify,
Lovely thou art. |
as the charms of Thy Season
Enciant the glad helrt;.
. Fort!ic suns brightest rays,
And the silvc-y moon, 3,
Bcdcck thee with light, !
My own beautiful June.
"Midsummer' too snltry, !
And winters too cold;
March, clustering month,
With its wind is too bolt;
While autumn. though varied,
1et whispers of grief |
In each dying flower !
And wilherinS leaf;
So give inc the month !
When NIL natures In tune :.
When the hearts free and light, |
In the days of bright june.
"Swcep out of the heart |
All the gloom of the past;
Lies Seasons are changing,
And grief should not last.
Let in-the bright sunshine
OF summers first days.
And learn joy from the birds,
AS they chant their sweet laws.
Like bees. Gull The sweet
OF liIe's morning and noon,
And laugh with the flowers
