THE CROPS
ais far as we havo seen, from the

Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Alabama, down to
the present were, and are decided

:oon as fine crops as any one could
wish. Along the A.rkansas and
Mississippi .Ri vers, if' nothing
transpires, the yield will be super
bunudan t. Th'le freedmen are (do
ig, taking every thing into con
sideration, tolerably wvellI. We
have seen cropis p)ointed out to us,
worked exclusively by colored
men, on the Mississippi, in as fine
'ondition as could be expected.
'Uho prospect of a fine harvest, as
[ar as the human eye can deter
mine at the present, and so far as
one can speculate for the future,
promises a rich yield, and can be
put down as a number one. GThd
grant that it may turn out so.

asp)erities of life.
"That heart, methiniiks,
Were of strange mould, which kept no

Of' happy, joyons ties."

for a more bustling world, wvhere
the shrill whistle of engines, the
ceaseless hum of human voices,

ItEAsoN, AND ENDINO IN HIS
DAUMlTF1a's DFATII.
A ho iu t a year ago th l1e fou r room .
on t ho third floor of 133 ttantonl
) street were cigaged by a family
of tihree persons, Charles Elliott.,
i coimlpositor employed by Styles
& Caii1shi, 95 Eighth aveino, his
Wife M.argaret and their daulghitolr
Janiv, at that time 16 yeari of age.
She had been edticated to bo a
gov' er ess, and pOSeSSd a highly
(ull1tivatel mIind alid remarkable
personal attractions.
,Tho iifly seemed to be very
retiring, and kopt alool frvomn th~e
other iiimatos of the lionso, with
the exception of iJaniv, who was
a genoral favorito. He0r health
was far from good, and her pareIts
were reluctantly compolled to
abandon the idea of making bor a
govres Not wvitshing to r
inill idlo, the young girl som1io
time ago obtained employment in
u hat mlianufactory at $5 a week.
Until about three weeks ago the
Elliotts were living vory con
tentedly, the father, who was a
steady, hard-workin g man, earning
a salary suflicient ,to moet all their
wanlts, and Janio, who wN'as idoliz
ed by her parents, being pernut
ted to apply her five dollars week
ly to her own uses.
At this timo their troiibles be
gall. Tlo filther lost his situation,
and after a fv fr-Iuitless eforts to
obtain another, lie gavo it up and
bogan to drink.
Mrs. Elliott, who disliked to soo
her daughter working, begged
her to abandon it, as hior' father
would n0011 obtain employment.
Jaio replied that it wias more
than ever necessary to work now,
and from that tim she bravely
Conitinued to su)port the family,
in Spito of her failing health.
Under the pressuro of the troul
blos crowding upon her, Mrs. El
liott's mind began to give way,
but though the inmates of the
house observed it, her daughter
was too much engrossed in the
strugglo for broad to noticeo th:)
changO, and her husband spent so
little of' his time at hoio that the
gradual collapse of his wife's in
tollect passed almost unobsorved.
When Janie at length compre
honded the nature of' her mother's
malady she almost sank beneath
the shock. But money had to be
procured, and theyounggirl rallied
her onergies and unfalteringly
worked harder than before.
Always fragile and delicate, shec
grow weaker and more attenuated
day by day. She had never known
tho amuisemeints so natural to
girls of her age. as her parents,
though their entirO affection Was

tained the strictest notions of'
propriety, andl allowecd their
daughter to enter a theatre or' a
hall-room 0only on rare occasions,
and never' with any escort except,
her' father.
As the Fourth of' July, wvhich
was Jam'ic's seventeenth irthday,
appr)ioalchod, Mrs. Elliott's malady
lner'easedl. Thus fzur she had con
dluctedl herself' without any ap-.
preach to violence, and spoko( so
rationally that str'angers could
h1ardly cr'edit the 'fact of' her in
sanity.
But a few dlays ago her madness
assumedt a more direct form.
Among other things, she imagined
that a German namedl Stoveler, oc
cup)ying the top floor, had1( formod
a desiga to blowv up the house on
the 5th of July, at notion which
doubtless owedl its or'igin to the
constant explosions of' crackers
andl fir'oworks ar'ound hot'. On
one occasion she summoned ani
officer, and, charging that Steveler
intendled to kill heri daughter and
hermself, endonvor'ed to pr'ocur'e
his arrest. The officer seeing at
once how matter's stood, refused
to comply. Her vigilance in guard
ing against imaginary dlanger nev

Hor' dlaughtor's safety appear'ed to
be a far greater object to her than
her own, and while the girl slept
she paIce(d, watchful and wvakoful,
outside the door for lhonurs.
T1he lodgers, fearing that siho
might (10 her (daughter some in

secured, or at least to be on bo'
guard against her. Poot' Janie
eonter'tained no fear'. It was im
possible, she said, that lbor mother,
who had idoliz/ed her from the
cradle, would harm her in her
monist frenzie(d moment.
On the 4th of July mother' and
(laughter were at home all day.
Janio tr'iedl to induce her mother
to go alit, hoping that the excite

might beoof service to her. The mad

to leave the house, fearing that

Equality.
An old Scoteh minister on be- c
