Deficiency in British Harvests.

British crop reports have suddenly
assumed changed and ominous tone,
and one Of those vicissitudes which we
mentioned N late article has fallen
upon the harvests of England. A pro-
tracted drought is apprenended, and
water is so scarce that, in several Of the
agricultural districts, for domestic pur-
poses 1t is being carried from the brooks.
This is attributed to The denudation Of
large tracts Of land of their timber
aridity and q rainless territory being
the consequence Of destruction OF forest
growth. As consequence Of the late
deficiency of rain, the hav is thin and
light, and other crops are likely to be
injuriously affected by the same cause
The result Of the season will probably
be demand for cur cereals consider.
ably above the average, and that will u
naturally stifen prices in our home
markets. The odds will COME about
even, however, as the income from al
we export will not more than balance
what we pay extra at home.

And the love that does not tarry,

When Frank Worthen learned the

brought to justice, he could not but
blame himself for the active part he
had taken in the matter, aud as he
walked to the depot, up the long
shady lane to the residence Of Tffly,
his mind was filled with conflicting
thoughts and queries. Was she still
true to him ? Had she heard of her
brothers arrest ? Would she ap-
prove of his action, and many Others,
