And frotkwlniM do you tho? Why, from Lilly Larnari, who is airing the parlor dusting the furniture, or arrang ; ing some Creeping flowers beside the door, with het • pretty ,face. almost hidden in a "kerchief white."

She is a pure-hearted lover nature, and everything, from the np me ess flower to the cloud-clapt mountain, lath a language which causes her to feel that the attributes of God are infinite. For her gayer hours. Nature "bath a tale of gladness, 'and a smile and eloquence„ of beauty, and glides into her darker musings with a mild and gentle sympathy,. which steals away their sharpness; .ere'she is a ware." - • But limy does the-;busy , hersell at horrid? it will be asked. - ,She -is an early riser; and the firstthing the does in the morning, after she has left her room, is to put every thing In itd plafte •tvhich out of place.— She kindly directs and helps Betty, the servant, to perform those numerous little household duties,such as feeding the chick., ens and straining the milk, not forgetting to give pussy a saucer full of •the warm . sweet liquid. She sets the intalrfast table, prepares the taas -j i- and all those kindred delicacies, and pours out the coffee, sitting like a fairy queen itt the old lii 4 ll backed chair, with her •parents on either side.— And when her father clasps his .hands to implore a blessind, she meekly bows her head, sweetly responding to the solemn a men. jr anything Is wanted from 'the kitchen, she is up, and away, and back a gain, al,mmit a minute, so sprightly is she in all her movements. Boring the forenoon she is generally helping her mdth er to sew or knit, or do any thing else which is required to be done; or, if her father wants her to read one of his chaste and deeply-religions sermons, the sweet ness oT her eloqUent voice makes it doubly' impressive. In the afternoon she is gener-; ally engaged in some benevolent duty.H Not one in a hundred is so well acquainted with the ppur of the parish. i=73 She enters the abode of the pAor widow, and, beside; administering to her temporal wants, gives her the overflowing sympathy of her own warm heart, ;ultninistering at the same time the consolations of religion. It is a common sight to see her tripping along the street ; With. a basket on her arm; and the clerk or more stately merchant, as he sees her pass hie door, takes particular pains to make a respectful bow, inwardly exclaiming, "tvho now is to become the debtor 'of Lilly burnard?" And the stran ger, who may have Met her in his walk, fails nut to inquire Of his host; at evening, , the name of the lovely creature who we:tit a white dress and gypsy 'bonnet. Lilly is a Christian, not only a ehurSh going Christian, but tier life is one contiu. ued rotn.d of charitable deeds and pious Mities,•alinost worthy of an angel. She has a class of little boys in UM Sabbath School, And they are * all so food of their amiable teaehei; that I do believe they would undergo alniost any .trial for her Sake. She ioveb harilible; too, and would be unhappy were she 'deprived of the poi vilege of reading it every day: When she i rises front• her•pilloW tit dawd, She kneels beside her couch, And bieathee het offering of prayer; and so too, when the ddy iii closed and she retires..to , rest. , • • Her father is a clsrgyinawnt easy rot.: trine.

Lilly left school about two years ago, be- . cause her father chose to superintend her education himself. She is a good scholar in everything requisite fora lady.. You can hardly puzzle her with questions in history, geography or mathematics. lier modesty and simplicity elVaracter are so great, that you would be surprised•at the extvnt of her book information and practi cal knowledge. She has a wonderful alent for makiiig herself agreeable under all cir cumstances. If she meets a beggar woman in the.street, she , * will talk familiarly Willi , her about her sorrows, instructing i tg to bear up under every trial. She is the tini•! versal favorite of .the whole village., All who know her, the poor end the rich, from the child of three years to the hoary head, alrlove her with the affection felt toward a sister or,datighter.

And she I is a write/. too, of tweet and soothing poe trydust sue!' as, should alwaystemanate from die. pure hearfed. To give my reader an , idea of her poetic power?, I will here quote her last effort, which. was w,ritten with her pencil on a leaf of, *Dana's while walking on the , sea shore, for hu it known that the villngc•of her birth is within sound of the never 2 ceasing roar 'of the Atlantic. Thu title of it is— " A SEA-SIIORE ECHO.

Leek ! how rhe'white caps chase each other along the watery plain, like ntilk..white steeds, striv_ ittg in their freedom .to outstrip the breeze. Whence comes this breeze, and whether is it going? Three days ago, at set of sun, it spread its wings near to a sandy desert of Africa, where a caravan or camels and horses and men had halted for the. night and at the dawning of to-morrow , it will he sporting with the forest trees of the r..eatern wilderness ! Far as the eye could reach, the see is " sprinkled o'er witli 7 ships, 6 'their White nails gleaminz.in the simlight.

HoW.many silmit prayers of thanksgiving, and . what a thrilling and joyous shout will echo to the shore, as those stern-beaten mariners drop alfehor in their native waters! Yonder, too, are othei ships, bound to the remotest cornerd of the earth. They seem to rejoice in their beauty amLspoetl, and proud is their bearing; but wilt they, ever return ? Alas ! the shadowy future alone can-answer.— Farewell, a long farewell, ye snowy daugh ters of the ocean." - But to return. Lilly Laniard is fond of inusie; too, and plays delightfully on the harp: ller : voice is sweeter than the fall of waters whi n heard at a distance ill the stillness of the twilight hour. Site knows nothing of fashion, and if she did, would consider it beneath her dignity to be in commoded or bnayed by it. Instead of decking hers'elf with gew-gawS for. a bril -1 liant appearance in the gay saloon, within sound of the rude jest and foolish flattery, she strives by watchfulness and care to pdrify her daily conduct, for hers is "no less' prone to sin than all other human hearts. "Necklaces' does she sometimes wear in her playful. glee, Made of the . pbrple fruit that feeds the small birds in the moors; and beautiful is the gentle stain then visible, over the blue veins of her swanlike bo som." Beautiful as she is, a feeling, tif vanity never yet entered' the heart of the rector's daughter. She feels too deeply the truth 'that personal charms, whidi are the only pride of weak-minded persons; dine Will ever wally transform into wrink led homeliness; and that an afrectionite heart and good understanding will endure, and become,morepprfect, Until the pilgrim age of life t ended. . Never has Lilly Laniard been more than 'thirkirtnit' - N,, , away from the village of her birth. She has read of cities a n d the busy. Multitudes that throng them; Of armies and navies; of politics 'mid war; but all these things to her are but as the 'visions of a dream. She is ig norant of the reaLcondi . thin and character of the great world, for .naught btit the echo of us diii has ever fah. len upon her ear. She 11Stens with won der to the deeds of which .

Har Majesty has summoned Lucy Fenton to Wait upon - 14 The scene is perverful and melo-dramatic • The Queen lay in her bed ; she had or dered her att4danti not to dra - iv .the cur tains 'over her , Windows, and she watched the leafless trees waving:to and fro before them, and the ruddy flame of her .fire dancing upon the , tapestry. Elizabeth had sunk into 'that partial torpir in which; though the mind has net altogether yielded to the influence of sleep, the memories, the visions that pass :over it, have the indis tinctness- of a- dreaM, tl. long train of : shadows flitted before the mental eye of Elizabeth ; there Wan the fair face of Ger trude Harding and another face as fair: the features too of , the ill-fated Essex rose to blight her in her sleep; but ever, were those feMale facei present, even When the others• had passed away. Suddenly „Elizabeth, started up—she was wide mtralte, but an unutterable horror had seized Upon her soull-Lany thing to escape from that bed ; and when ben dismal shriek had summon ed her attendants to her apartment, they found her standing in her night dress on the floor, her hands clenched, her eyea fix ed as in a convulsion, and specks of foam upon her, Parted lips. It was a frightful, spectacle, the strongly marked but wither- 1 ed features' . - and stony blue eyes of the mis erable Queen But what needs it to prolong the of scenes so horrible; the struggles of a'scul which had used its greatness-to de 7 strify ; and which, summoned to quit that world‘it had too much loved, shrunk front the contemplation of its past career. • No entreaties _could prb . vail itpoii the wretched Queen to return to her bed ; she raved, screamell, and wept at the proposal. Cushions were brought, and upon them she was extendcd;, bitterly bemoaning her miserable fate, ane refusing all refreshment • and consolation. , Who does not know that, for ten' days the unhappy Queen thus remained, still re fusing to enter her bed. The Bishops, and the Lord , : of the f aIN; in vain entreated' her to alter this resolution. - To Lucy \V ilongliton, whom she still detained in attendance, she expressed strong indig nation against Secretary Cecil, the son of her old favorite Burleigh. 'lle telleth the people, Mistress Wil oughton,' said Elizabeth, 'that I am mad; but I am not mad ; oh, would to Cipd that I were!' 'Gf'aelotts madam, be comforted !' as Lucy, who was moved by the pitiable en dition of the Queen. ' 'Do not then mock me, fair dame, wi such empty Words ? ' replied Elizilbeth : `had thy poor cousiuseen me thus, she had know i 1 the better than to talk of comfort. Alas, alas; why does her face still pursue ow . ?—God knows how bitterly I mourned •her fate : but it cometh, it - coined) for ever, and still accompanied ,by - another, Which my soul sickened) to behold.' While Eli zabeth spoke, entered Sir Robert Cecil, will* the Lni'd Admiral, a 'relation of the Queen : they came to entreat that she would suffer herself to be conveyed to bed. Elizabeth looked round shuddering at her costly couch, 'Oh, never, never r she excla6ded. i 01); Cecil, it thou hadst seen what I have s t eenohou wouldst dot drive any mistress to that couch of horrors I' `'iVhat has,, yoUr Grace there beheld ? said Cecil ; `have yuu seen the dwellers o imother world 11 'Nay !' answeiedElizabeth, 'assuredly that is an idle . 4uestion, and beneath'eut notice.'

In looking back on the state of the coun try, the crops, and the condition agri culture for the past year, we find much cause for pleasurable gratulation, and for gratitude. The season has been a favor able one on the whole; the crops have been abundant, and the condition of the farming and planting interests, and as a matter of course the country, has been constantly im prOving. In a country like ours, embrac ing such a variety of clirhate, and so many objects of culture, it would be - little tikbrt of a miracle, if in every part, and_with every variety of product, there should he no failures ; if every where the proper condition of temperature, of heat, mois ture, and duration, should be precisely What is required. Such a state of things it is unreasonable to expect ; but loMil failures scarcely effect the general result. The temperature.of that pa r t of tile year which has the most influence on the labors of the farni, has been favorable to the ma turity of the crops. Septethber, however, Was warmer several degrees than it has been for several years past.. 'There-have been numerous and sudden. fluctuations of tethperature the whole' season, and these have not been without their influence on the crops as well as the general health— Thus, on the first day of Jime, More or less snow fell over most of the northern states, and about the middle of September, frosts sufficiently- severe to injure corn, oc curred in many places. From the 25th of September to the present time; the weather has been very unfavorable, and its effect on the securing and preservation of crops, has been very injurious and will be widely felt. Snow, to the depth of from 1.0 to 20 inches fell over most of the north, previous to the middle of November; aml the frosts at the south in °blither, were destructive to fhb late. cotton and tobacco. The Wheat Crop of the United States for the year 1843, is greater than has ever before been produced. Immediately be fore the harvest, prospects were.diseourag- Mg. In some places the Hessian fly had appeared, in others the grain Worm, and nearly. everywhere the grain was standing thin upon the gt mold, having in some places been smothered with snow, and in others frozen out in the spring. To the surprise of all, the insects did comparatively little damage, the heads came up large and lint and the berry was of the fittest qbality.— The yield per sheaf,. was unusually large, and More great crops of wheat have been grown the present year than in any previ ous one. About two millions of barrels of flout paSsed down the Erie canal, and the quantities recei v ed at Baltimore and New Orleans, have been unusually heavy. A great quantity of land has been seeded this fall with wheat, but those tVho were late in their labor, were obliged to put f otheir seed when the soil vtas•not in the best condition Wheat should always be sown before the 16th of September ; later thi'm that the probability of getting seed iri well; lessens • • , Indian corn is good ; Mat nutter than in previous years, but a fair born. the cold of early summer retarded its growth, and in some places the extreme dry weather of the month of A moat and a part of SePieni inii, liadra tad eteet.

We are sorry to say that this crop has suffered 'much from severaluenses, 'aim that while, in some-districts there is a general failure, in ho one, as we can learn, has it reached an average crop . . The pc,- tames are small and few in number', were . late in maturing, and many were gathered . prematurely.

In niany— cases, indeed, the tops died in tile fields long Were tile roots had ripened, and thus all posSibility of improvement from the late rain was edit off. We saw many instances in -which the first set of tubers had sprouted .for the 'second crop, owing to the early stage, in which thek_had ripened. It fs doubtless to be attributed to-this premature . ripening that'decay or rot is so extensive among the roots gathered, so much so min many cases to threaten a total loss. In England and Scodrl, the potato° crop has for several years past been liable to great injury,• and in some cases a total failure from a disease called the curl, in which the tops died immediately after the formation of the tubers commenced, leav ing them wholly unfit for use. have seen some cases of the same difficulty here, and it is not impossible that it may become as destructive here as abroad" No satis, factory solution of the cause of the evil . has been given, though it has received at tention front the ablest men of these coun tries; and it would be well forthe Ameri can farmer to be as far as possible on his guard, and, as a preventive, never plant potatoes successively on the same soil, or' use any but sound ,mature seed. Ilaising new varieties from seed, it'is probable, will eventually be 'found •the best method of pre venting diseases in this important vegeta ble; although the opittion'that varieties de generate and run out, has yet received no positive confirmation. The other crops, suqlt as hay, roots A general, garden vegetables, &c., have been very good, and the early appearance of wh:ter indicates that all will be required for the flocks and herds before the next spring. lit this respect, our friends at the South and West have greatly the advantage of us Northerners, as it demands no small part of our summer labor to provide food for our animals during our winters.
