flies one that everything is prosperous and
everybody happy, even politicians. The people
have turned lately considerable attention to
wheat growing, and they express themselvesas
amply rewarded this year with n satisfactory
yield, while that of Indian corn will fully
equal the aggregate of the past two years.
Whatever may be said of :hc riches of the
West, there quietly nestlcs between our two
bays grand and highly-favored section. The
land IL. most of it. not naturally rich, but very
susceptible, where the best of peaches, apples.
pears, grapes and melons grow, where the
wheat and corn yield from 10 to 60 bushels
per acre; where railroads permeate and on
either side float the largest ships of the line ;
where oysters, fish, terrapin clans and cells

fully rids herself Of the green robe that
bound her; for. look in whatever direction
you may, II grand panorama is presented
The forests and woods stretch out like one great
brocade shawl, when every color yics to blend
in harmony. The yellow hickory, the red
icaied maple and the purple dogwood, blend
with the green, the crimson, the russell and
every tint and tone and shade in nature max

almost say that autumn might last forever
1t Is the chosen era of ripe rewards for the
tolls and priyations of other seasons fixed by
beatliic Providence among the fading but
brilliant beauties of nature, and IN no autumn
more than the present has that beauty been
more layishly dispensed among this people

easily gathered, and with Il strong guard
against those artificial wants which make up
the misery of our existence all may aim ut
