CROP REPORTS.

Never within the recollection of that VEN
cradle parsonage, 1.-The Oldest inhabitsnt" has
there been better general crop-yesr through
out this broad land than this. Here and there
we hear of a partial failure in some one or
more of the crops because of too much or not
enough rain but these exceptions are local,
and as compared with the whole are no more
than drop of water to the vast ocean. The
small grain will have been harvested and Sc
cured from one end of our country to the
other before this reaches our readers eye and
there is row no room for speculation in regard
to quantity or quality.
Corn in some sections has suffered from too
much rain and in others from drought, but
these discouragements were temporary, and
have passed away. Sessonable showers and
hot sunshine are obliterating every trace of
sickly growth and this great staple product
bids fair to equal if not to exceed IN yield any
previous year. Stock hogs are reported plen-
tiful and in good condition, having suffered
less from cholera than for several past years,
which gives assurance of good pork supply
with meat and bread in abundance no suffer-
ing need be apprehended this coming winter.
Low prices have been q heavy drag upon
the farmer for q number of years, but it has
prevented him from indulging in extrsva-
gance and taught him ways of economy, and
how to keep out of debt, so that now the ''year
of jubilee" has come he may be the better
prepared to enjoy all its blessings. We are
under obligations to the departments of
| agriculture" in the States of North Carolina,
Illinois, Missouri, and Louisiana for copies Of
mon; lilly crop reports, from which we have
been very materially helped IN making up
our verdict upon the general outlook of the
crops for lS77.-Home and Farm.

the HOME CONCERT.
By MARY d. BRINE.

Well Tom. nv boy, must say good by.
I've had wonderful visit here;
Enioyed il too rs well as l could
AWAY from all that my heart holds dear.
Maybe I've been trife rough
A little awkward, your wife would say
And very likely I've missed the hint
OF your city polish day by day.
But somehow, Tom, though the same old roof
Sheltered US both when we were boys,
And the same dear mother love watched us
both,
Sharing our childish griefs and joys,
Yet you are almost stranger now;
Your ways and mine are as far apart
AS though we never had thrown an arm
About each other with loving heart.
Your city home is a palace, Tom;
Your wife and children are fair to see;
You couldn't breathe in the little cot,
The little home, that belongs to me.
And l am | st in your grand large house,
And dazed with the wealth on every side,
And hardly know my brother, Tom,
In the midst of so much stately pride.
Yes, the concert was grand last night,
The singing splendid; but, do you know,
My heart kept longing, the evening through,
For another concert, so sweet and low
That maybe it wouldn't please the ear
or one so cultured and grand as you;
But to its musio-lsugh if you will
Ny heart and thoughts must ever be true.
! shut my eyes in the hall last night
CFor the clash of the music wearid me-,
And close to my heart this vision came
The same sweet picture l always see;
In the vineclsd porch of a cottage home,
Half in shadow and half in sun,
A mother chanting her lullaby,
Rocking to rest her little one.
And soft and sweet as the music fell
From the mothers lips, l heard the coo
Of my baby girl, as with drowsy tongue
She echoed the song with "Goo-a-goo.'
Together they sang, the mother and babe,
Nv wife and child, by the cottage door.
Ali that is the concert brother Tom,
Ny ears are aching to hear once mora.
So now good by. And 1 wish you we'll,
And many year of wealth and gain.
You were born to be rich and gay;
am content to be poor and plain.
Andf go back to my 20 Intry home
With q love that absence has strengthened
too
Back to the concert all my own
Mothers singing and babys coo.

A SPECIMEN OF CHEEK.-We are not in
clined to admit that the American dry goods
drummer" can easily be surpassed as regards
those pleasing qualities which are denoted by
the comprehensive monosyllable "cheek," but
here is q Frenchman in the same line o. busi-
ness, who would certainly be dangerous
rival. Finding the shop of country trades
man closed, this shrewd Partisan inquired as
to the whereabouts of the proprietor, and as
certaining that he was attending fair, went
thither after him. When he arrived q balloon
was just going up, and to his dismay he saw
his man stepping into the car. Plucking up
courage, however, he stepped forward, and
asked to be allowed to ascend. There was
ROOM and he entered the car. In few mo-
ments away went the balloon; and it was not
until the little party was well above the tree
tops that the enterprising Commercial turn
ed towards his customer with the remark:
And now, sir, what can do for you in cali
coes?" Catching the humOr of the position,
and not unwilling to reward such persever-
ance, the astonised tradesman gave his pur-
suer as large an order as he could, with the
excusabe proviso that in future he should be
allowed to take his pleasure in peace, and that
on no account was the traveller to mention the
circumstance to his brethren of the road

whom Mr.. Irving employed his fine powers through
four acts in depicting the stage. The general
verdict was against Mr.. Irvng's Macbeth" last
