A YEAR OF PLENTY.
The Earth's Bounty--Good Crops All Over
the World.


the World.
The Cincinnati Price Current has the
following: The promise now is that
this is to be year of bountiful produc-
tion of nearly everything in this country
and in Europe, but when we consider
that unfavorable weather at the moment
of harvest may cause great damage we
are disposed to be cautious in assertion.
In California, however, the crops of
barley and wheat are made and gen.
orally harvested. The wheat harvest
proves to be all that was anticipated.
After deducting an ample supply for
home consumption there will remain the
enormous amount of 100000 tons avail
able for exports, which is equivalent to
nearly %, 800, 900 bushels. The yield of
barley is also very prolific, and there
will be 210, 900 tons, or nearly 10,000,0 900
bushels available for export. The good
fortune of California is shared by Texas,
where the cereal crops are fine and have
been harvested in good condition, but
the great staple of the State is cotton,
and the reports regarding it are unusu-
ally favorable, there being scarcely
enough which are otherwise to "prove
the rule" The cotton crop in that
State is nearly a month in advance of
the more northern cotton growing sec
tion, where it has passed into an adage
that "July makes the cotton CROP" and
therefore we may safely say that the
cotton crop of Texas is assured. The
first bale of new cotton has arrived at
Galveston, which is an indication, al
though not certain one, that the crop
is rapidly maturing. In other sections
of the South the reports are somewhat
conflicting regarding the present condi-
tion of cotton, but perhaps not more so
than usual even in good yielding sea-
sons, and the favorable returns far out
weigh the croaking. Coming now to the
West and Northwest, we find in the
winter wheat growing section that the
harvest is far advanced and in many
places entirely over, and the yield
proves to be much larger than antici-
pated, for where only one fourth to one
half an average crop was expected it has
proved to be seldom less than one-half,
and from that up to full average. The
spring wheat growing States have given
us some discouraging reports, but they
have in many, if not in all instances,
proved to be exaggerations, and it is not
improbable that full crop will be har-
vested. Fall barley has been harvested,
and turns out well. Spring barley in
the Northwest gives fair promise
of a full crop. Rye and oats are
abundant everywhere. Corn is grow
ing rapidly, and continues the fair
promise of the largest yield in the his
tory of the country. Turning now to
Europe, we find that as the harvest ap
proaches the croaking becomes silent
the damage caused by storms and unfa-
vorable weather earlier in the season,
especially in France and Holland, has
not proved to be permanent, and the
cereal crops at the latest mail dates were
in promising condition. In the south
of Russia the wheat harvest has already
commenced. The only real unfavorable
reports come from Hungary, and even
in that country there had been change
for the better.

A Midsummer Song.

Oh, fathers gone to market town; he was up
before the day,
And Jamie's after robins, and the man is
making hay,
And whistling down the hollow goes the boy
that minds the mill.
While mother from the Ii.c' en- or ~ calling
with will
Polly Polly The cows are in the
cDrnl
Oh, where's Polly ?"
From all the misty morning air there comes a
summer eound-
and ground.
The birds they sing upon the wing, the
pigeons bill and COO,
And over hill and hollow rings again the loud
halloo-
Polly Polly The COWS are in the
corn
Oh, where's Polly ?"
Above the trees the honey bees swarm by with
buzz and boom,
And in the field and garden hundred flowers
bloom.
Within the farmers meadow a brown eyed
daisy blows,
Ard down at the edge of the hollow red and
thorny rose.
But Polly Polly The COWS are in
the corn !
Oh, where's Polly2
How strange at such time Of day the mill
should stop its clatter
The farmers wife is listening now, and won
ders what's the matter.
Oh, wild the birds are singing in the wood and
on the hill,
While whistling up the hollow goes the boy
that minds the mill
But Polly Polly The COWS are in
the corn
Oh, where's Polly?

The early Massachusetts fathers did
not believe in paiLt. The Rev. Thomas
Allen, of Charlestown, was brought up
in 1850 for "having paint about his
dwelling" and only escaped by showing
that it was done before his time, and
that he disapproved OF it. The first
Boston church was never painted, and a
list of Boston mechanics in 1870 does
not include painter. This abomination
did not become common until after the
Revolution.

Table Rock.

On the twenty fifth of June, 1850, oc-
Cured the great downfall which reduced
Table Rock, at Niagara Falls, to anarrow
bench along the bank. The portion
which fell was one immense solid rock
two hundred feet long, sixty feet wide
and one hundred feet deep, where it
separated from the bank. Fortunately,
it fell at MONDAY, when but few people
were out, and no lives were lost. The
driver of an omnibus who had taken of
his horses for their midday feed, and
was washing his vehicle, feltthe prelimi-
nary cracking and escaped, the vehicle
itself being plunged into the gulf below.

Babes and s~uokIings sometimes preach better

We sometimes wonder whether the conven-

through which religious information 10 to be

ministers very far from being in earnest If be
Judged by the length Of their prayers for it is

There seems to be a large variety Of opinions
on the proper length of sermons. Short and
red hot is our motto. Some ministers never
sim a blow at the dsvil without apologizing for
it, and preach in such an uncertain way that
the congregation seems to say, Now we'll go
to sleep until YOU catch him, and then we'll
wake up and See the fight, " and so they SUM
Der on until the bened!ction. The pews dislike
to have their sins apOlcgized for by the pulpit.
A firm expectation of the victory, a determine
ton to fight 1t out on that line if it takes all
summer, and tho inclusion of rich and poor
alike in the catalogue of evildoers-these are the
three principal elements of a successful ministry.
That, at least, is the lay view of the subject.
This namby-pamby rhetoric which can't bear to
tell men that they are miserable sinners. always
ends its career amid the r%ustling of q small silk

respect and follow the preacher who puts the
millionaire and beggar into the same hopper
and grinds them both so fine that the money
of the one and the poverty of the other are
both consecratsd.
