The Southern Cultivator for June, in it
thoughts for the month, says:
Whilst the main summer crops are all fairly
under way, there are some, which on Southern
farms are usually regarded as secondary O
side crops, that may still be started with very
great advantage. Foremost among these, i

LIES ROSES.

When the morning first uncloses,
And before the mist are gone,
All the hills seem bright with roses,
Just little farther on!
Lo! with eager upturned faces,
Wait the children for the hours
That shall bring them to the places
OF the tantalizing flowers.
Hands begin to clutch at posies,
Eyes to fash with new delight,
And the roses, oh I! the roses,
Burning, blushing, full in sight!
Not thought Of rainy weather,
Nor Of thorns, to sting and grieve,
Gather, gather, gather, gather,
All the care is what to leave!
Noon to afternoon advances,
Rosy red grows russell brown;
Sad eyes turn to backward glances,
So the sun of youth goes down.
And as rose by rose it withered,
Sober sight begins to find,
Many false heart has been gathered,
Many a true one left behind.

PROFESSOR JoHNsTRUP, the naturalist
who has been engaged in perilous and

He reports also that the belief that
there is gold, silver and iron ore in the
island is entirely unfounded. Iceland
has not even coal seams. The condi-
tons for the presence of these ores are
all wanting.

THAT irksome custom, the " series of
resolutions " following upon death, is
thus assailed.by the Baltimore american:
"There is not lawyer, or a doctor, or
a tradesman, or an actor, or an office
holder who has passed away, but whose
death is followed by a series of resolu-
tions which really mean nothing at all;
and which in many cases are mere
mockey on the lives of those in whose
honor they have been prepared. The
old proverb, Speak nothing but good
of the Dead is kindly one, and the
silence of the tomb is generally suf-
ficient to hush the voice of SANDER and
make men charitable and forgiving.
But it is no less fraud to cover pages of
foolscap with unmeaning resolutions
which stand out in sharp contrast
with the character of their subjects,
and which serve only to feed the vanity
of the living and do no honor to the
memory of the dead"
