In the midst of the hard times it is
some consolation to be assured that
breadstufs are to be plentiful and
cheap. The New York correspond
ent of the Baltimore Sun says:
The crops are certainly doing as they
have not done for many years. Grass was
commenced to be be cut ten days ago,
whereas the fourth of July has been about
the average when cutting was expected to
begin. The yield is simply enormous.
Grain is also very forward, and the gold
en- heads appear to be far in advance OF usu-
al seasons. Indeed, it looks as if the grain
crop in numerous places would have to be
harvested before the hay crop is all secured.
Oats and corn are now selling at a
lower price than many farmers can raise
them, and if this be so now for the old crop,
what will be the price when the over
whelming new crop is rushed to market !?
These remarks apply to this section of
the Countrywide Jerseys and counties Of
New York and Connecticut-and it is be-
lieved they will apply to most parts of the
United States. From Canada the private
accounts are also favorable to the heaviest
yield ever known, while parties here from
California report that the crops in that
State are 80 heavy that it will not pay wa
ges expenses to harvest them and send
them to market. The result of all this
will probably be Europe not being spec
ial competitor for our breadstutfs) the low
est figures tor flour, wheat, corn, oats and
hay known for twenty years.

POETRY.
THE REAL MAUD MULLER.

Maud Muller worked raking hay,
And cleared her forty cents a day.
Her clothes were coarse, but health was fine,
And so she worked in the sweet sunshine.
She often glanced at the far-off town,
And wondered if eggs were up or down.
And the sweet song died of strange disease,
Leaving phantom taste of cheese.
And an appetite and a nameless ache
For soda water and ginger cake.
The Judge rode slowly into view
Stopped his horse in the shade and threw
His fine-cut out, while blushing Maud
Marvelled much at the kind he 'chawed."
"He was dry as a fish," he said with wink,
"And kind O. thought that good drink
Would brace him up" SO the cup was filed
With the crystal wine the old spring spilled;
And she gave it him with sunbrowned hand
"Thanks," said the Judge in accents bland;
"a thousand thanks! for a sweeter draught
From a fairer hand"-but there he laughed.
And the sweet girl stood in the sun that day
And raked the Judge instead of the hay.

WENT OFF LIKE A LAMB.

There was a time when it was ConSid-
cred iustihable and human to hurry
little the departure of afflicted friends,
suffering from utterly hopeless maladies,
like hydrophobia, consumption and
blackjaundice. Now a-days morbid
philanthrophy has decided against a
practice once adopted by the best of
people, from the best of motives but |,
for one, no more doubt the benevolence
than the resolution and energy of Ger
tain Yankee dame, who was one of the
last to act on the old principle.
Her husband had wonderful "gitt
of continuance, but really his end,
troubled end, seemed very near. The
minister came and prayed with him
the doctor had made his last visit, and
left no ''stuff," and the dog howled in
the back yard. In the morning the
good minister called again to find the
looking glass and the picture of the
Washington family veiled in white mus
lin, the village dress-maker cutting on
bombazine, and the good wife weeping.
Then ensued a conversation like unto
this:
"Has our beloved brother departed
this life?"
eyes; husbands dead and laid out. "
"Ah! he is then at rest Did he
suffer much, sister, toward the last ?"
"Awful he went out of his head, and
moaned, and gasped, and tossed about,
and, as you had administered spiritual
consolation, and he was prepared to die,
and the doctor said there wasn't no
more hope for him to git well than fur
a last years mornin' glory to blow out
agin, l just took pity on him, he did
thrash round so, and couldn't no way
enjoy life any longer, and SO got big
piller and put it over his face, and sot
down on it, and then he went off like a
lamb"
Ra~"Come and take drink, Judge, "
shouted a gentleman who was entering
the bar-room of the Ebbitt House, to
friend who sat reading newpaper in
the rotunda. Twenty ex-Judges and
ten actual Judges Immediately arose.
The party of the first part speedily fled
and now wears the blue ribbon.
