IN THE oFFlNG.

A ghostly ship sails on a ghostly sea,
And bears afar an anxious company,
Whose dreams, whose hopes, whose constant
longings yearn
For some fair port from which 20 ships return
Some quiet haven undisturDed by strife
OF yexing surges from our storm vexed life
Wind driven surges from our wind swept life.
NY longing heart sails with them as they 90,
Anxious as they. and heavy with their woe;
Where is the peaceful shore we long to find
The waves are stormy and the path is blind
The distant sky shuts in the distant sea-
What star Of promise holds the DARK for met
What star Of promise holds the dark for theei
Answer, stern pilot OF this phantom SAIL
Canst thou be sure thy compass will not failg

The virus of rheumatism often remains
in the system through life, when it does
not cut the thread of existence suddenly,
as it Is always liable to do by attacking
the heart. Ere the grip of this tenacious
disease tigh;ens. it should be unloosed by
that beneficient liberator from disease
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which will
free the sufferer at the outset from sub
sequent pain and danger. No purer or
more agreeable blood depurcnt exists, as
multitudes of the rheumatic and neural -
gic have ascertained by certified experi~
ence. 1t is through the medium of reg
ular action of the kidneys and bladder
that an outlet is offered for the escape
of impurities which beget not only rheuN
matte, but gouty ailments, and dropsical
effusions. To these organs the Bitters
gives an impulse, never vergng on the
bounds of irritation, but sufficiently Wig
orous to cause them and the bowles to
perform their functions with clock-like
precision, Use it also for dyspepsia. bill

Crops.

The crop CORE spondents OF the state
department of agriculture and the sigma
service observers of the Illinois state
weather service, representing all por'
tions of the state, have made the fol-
lowing report for the week ending june
10. to the secretary of the state board OF
agriculture, concerning the condition OF
the growing crops;
The crops in all portions Of the state
where the late rains are reported, have
made good growth during the week and
the outlook is in the main more tavora-
BILE. The condition OF the crops, how
ever, is far more encouraging in all the
southern counties, excepting the Few To-
calites visited by local ~ ms, where tenn
porary relief is afforded. The serious
damage resulting from the drouth and
the presence of the army worms, chinch
bugs and cut worms. in the southern
division of the state. has largely reduced
the prospects for the grain and grass
crops. The reports received on this date
indicate the presence of locusts in alarm
ing numbers in several localities in the
northern portion of the state.
The corn crop has made good growth
of late and in the central and northern
counties is in much better condition than
last week, The plant is small, but gen
orally of good color and free from weeds.
Farmers have seldom had their corn in
better state of cultivation at correspond
ing date in previous years, Than this sea,
son. This crop stands greatly ia need OF
frequent showers and higher tempera-
ture.
The condition of the oat crop promises
an average or better yield per acre IN all
except the southern counties, where the
drouth has prevailed.
The prospects for winter wheat in the
counties of Pike, Green, Morgan, Sanga-
mon, Patt and Champaign, are much
better than heretofore reported and the
limited wheat area in the counties named
promises about An average yield per
acre. The condition of this crop in Mad
ison. st CLAIR and other lending winter
wheat counties gives encouragement for
from ten to seventy five per cent of an
average yield per acre. The most unta-
vorable reports concerning the condition
of winter wheat come from the counties
of Wayne, Richland, Franklin, Hamil
ton, Lawrence, Clay, Shelby and Jasper
Spring wheat is up to an average in con-
dition in the majority of counties.
