The country at present looks beautifu Nature is ROW fully arrayed in its summ, apparel, and pres-ents an rppearance at on pleaeing to the eye aod enlivening to t mind. Our fair -Province of Ontario nev looked more fresh and beautiful then at t present time. • In those portions which w have seen, the fields never looked greelie the forests more luxuriant:in foliage, -th waters more limpid. In the older an wealthier sections, the scenery begins t6 r 'mind one ofthe prettiest 'districts of Eh land and France :the ugly -Stumps are gon fine houses Strike the eye at every• turn new and handsome fences abound, and, be ter than: all, the fields manifest evidence that the science of husbandry is becOmin better understood and more commonly pia tised.- Whilst the general appearance of th country is so gratifying, we regret to sa that the picture is not without a few line of shade. Thelgrowing crops seldom bel forth the promise of more.abundance ; bu there is obal exception in some districts and that, unfortunately, is_our great staple It is_undeniable that the fall wheat sufiere very considerably during the winter months The fields Were at. times uncovered by snow but both by smothering and frosts a gi.ea deal of injury- was iflieted. In _Some of .th best wheat -growing cOuntries, it is calculat ed that the crop will not be much more than one-half. There is reason to believe, how ever, this will not be the general experience for in other localities this impoitant cereal is reported to be quite healthy aria promis Until the grain is actually cut, it difficu1t. to estimate the , result eorrectlf but -admitting the deficiency there must be in the yield of fall wheat in some localities, we shall not give up hopes that, ta.king On- tario as a whole, the yield will be close upon the average. The hay -fields are ready for the scythe, and in the more advanced sections the whirr of the mower is already to be heard, The clover also suffered' not a little frem the winter, aud, but far a very favourable spring the crop of hay would be deficient. Under the infizience of the recent rains, however, the meadows have greatly improved. and there now promises to be -a sufficiency of fodder. This is 'fortunate, fel- the farmers have of late year's gone so extensively into stock -raising that a short hay erop would be more seriously felt The spring crops, almost altogethere are unusually luxuriant and promising. Barley, pring ev4eat, oats, peas—all look excellent. The beautiful -weather in April and May, not only entbled farmers to complete their seeding in good time, but also produced a (food "catch." and has gladdened their hearts With hopes of an "abundant reaeard tor their sprineetoil. Unless something un- -.foreseen occurs, the excellence of the spring crops will make up for ahy deficiency eyhich there may be in fall wheat. The orchards- never promised better. A few weeks ago it was impossible to drive into the country without .seeing acres of blossoms. A.Ve do not remember, in all our experience, ever having seen the or ards present so much beauty and pr ise. • Everything indicates that we shall have andance of fruit ;, and we may say the same of most garden produce, which is gen- erelly turning out well. Last fall the sin- gularly early frosts caught some of dur best fruit -growers napping, and many thousands of bushels were frozen on the trees. As if ashamed of its naughty conduct at that time, nature now promises them an.: unnsu- ally abundant crop this fall. Our harvest prospects are, upon the whoIe,ssatisfactory ; and as to:the appearance of the country— take a drive out if you :wish to see natural beauty in all its varied forthe. We know nothing more delightful at this season of the -year, than to escape from -the heat, the dust, and the din of the city, and to spend . a few days in. the country, drinking in the pure, fresh aireadmiring nature at its merie dian splendor, and imbibing hope and joy from the flattering promise of earth's fast- ening fruits.-Voramerciai Times; Toronto. 1 er Ce he er- he 0- e, t- c - y .

There are niere than a- dozen ancient writinggewhich are often bound up in the same volume with the Canonical Books of the, Old Testament, under the nein° of the Apocryphal Books, or more briefly, the Apocrypha,. The word means "hidden," oi "secret ;-"__but the particular sense in which this name was applied to these books is still a matter of dispute. Among five or six di- verse explanations of it, there are only two which are -entitled to any serious consider -s ation. The first is that these books were so called because their authorship- was "hid- den, or" unknown • " the second, that the name, was given to them because they were regarded as containing some "secret" in- struction, not to be imparted to all,- some esoteric doctrine designed only for the " in- .. itiated." - The first- e..xplanation is much the Simplest, The planet Jupiter' has been for three ority with the inspired books of the ancient Canon This decision, however, was not made without protracted discussions and earnest remonstrance ; for it was known to be in direct contradiction of the express judgement of the great majority of the Fathers of the Church. Probably the pas- sages in Ecclesiasticus and Maccabees, en- couraging- prayers for the dead, had their in- fluence ill 2ecuring the dogmatic decision. The Church of England appointed lessons from the Apocrapha in some of her week day services. The practice of binding .up the Apocryphal books together withtheOld Testament is still continued by some vate publishers. The British and Foreign Bible Society abandoned that practice many years ago, after a protracted and exciting controversy. Onr American Bible Socie- ties, we believe, have never published these books as a part of the Scripture. It were to be wished that they might always be published in. a - separate form, as it is certain that they form no part of Divine Revelation. A Wise Answer. The celebrated Abdo Yusuph, who was chief Judge of Bagdad in the reign of the Caliph Ha -dee, was a very remarkable in- stance of that humility which distinguishes true wisdom. His sense of his own defici- encies often led him to entertain doubts, where men of less knowledge and more pre- sumption were decided. It is related of this Judge that, 0.11 one occasion, after a very patient investigation of facts, he declar- ed' that hi" knowledge•was not competent to decide upon the casd before him.—Tray; do you expect,' said a pert courtier, who, heard this declaration, that the Caliph is• to pay for your ignorance?' I do not,' was the mild reply, the Caliph pays me, and well, for what I do know ; he were to at- tempt_ to pay me for what I do not know, the treasures of his empire wordcl not suffice.' ifaleollit's Persia. and the most commonly received ; but the months presenting al spectacle of Sinaular second is advocated by very high authori ties, and harmonizes well with an idea boi rowed from the ancient schools of philoso phy, which is know to haveintruded itsel early into the Christian Church. The books which bear this name are com monly reckoned foerceen, namely : Esdras, IL Esdras, Tobit, Judith, The Res of Esther; Wisdom- of Solomon, Ecclesiasti cus, or Wisdom of Jesus the Sell of Simi: Baruch, With -the Epistle of Jeremiah, Th Song of the Three Holy Children, The His tory of Sucanna, The idol Bel and the Dragon, The Prayer of Manasses, 1.

Besides these, there are -nearly twcnty other apocryphal pieces, which are not reckoned as belonging to the collection, including two more books of Es- dras, and three more books of Maccabees, the last -Of which exist only in an Arabic: translation. The contents of the A pocryith- al books, as a whole,4mount to a little more than one-sixth as pinch as the contents of the Canonical books of the Old Testament The longest are Ecclesiasticus, the two books of Maccabees, and the twocebooks of Esdras.

This, naturalists tell us, is a reminescence of its former state when a wild animal, and when it had to, make its bed foi%itself. Thous- ands of years of domesticity have not oblit- erated this habit, derived from its ancestors the dwellers in the forest. See the force of encestry. There is doubtless the same thing to be seen in the ways and habits of rnen, and probably his most distant a.ncestors and the additions to Esther. All these to- gether scarcely amount to a doze,u pages. They c a so veiy much in value. Ec- clesiasticus (otherwise entitled the Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach,) and the Wis- dom of Solomon, both contain many excel- lent counsels, and some passages of rere beauty and .sublimity. The First Book of Maccabees- is valua,ble as a history. And the three above named give us important fables.

Taylor's ex - :change office, converted $50ein greenbacks— h a is available funds—into Canada money. He then went up to the laud of oil and com- menced opeiations. Announcing himself, as a Pennsylvanian oil operator, he stated that he intended dealing largely in Canadi- an crude. lie went round to the wells and bought up at advanced, rates the oil he could lay his hands on , prices ranging. from $2.05 to $2.15 per barrel. -He per- suaded a Mr. Parker, a well known oil agent, aleo to buy on his account, and guar- antee the purchases. Mr. Parker having no suspicions did so, Of course the oil men were only too glad to hail the advent of such a nabob in oil, and as he bought freely:and did not mind five or ten cents a bane], his advances were readily met: Having accu- mulated all the oil he could, he made a sale of the whole to the Callan_ Oil Company of Hamilton (Messrs. Parsons & -Williams), the oil having been previously placed in their tanks. Teams were kept busy from tuornieg till nfght transferring the : oil from the different wells to the Carbon Compa,ny's tanks, and ail went on smilingly. Having got all he could deliver, he went to the of- fice of Parsons and Williams', and drew a cheque for $3,000, get it cashed, and at once cleared out for the Great ,J1.epublic ! Of course he failed to pay for the oil pur- chased of the wells. The cheque was 6ash- ed at the office of Messrs.' Vaugn & Fair - It abounds in ' both Greek and Latin idi- oms. Probably- most of them. never did ex- ist in Hebrew. The First Book of Macca- bees, and Ecclestastieus, seem to ha-ve been originally written in Hebrew, and perhaps also the Wisdom of Solomon, Judith -and the first part of Baruch. The Priyer of Manasses, and .the second hook of Esclras are not found even. in Greek, but only in Latin. Neither the authorship nor the ex- act date of any one of these books is ascer- tained. It is certain that none of them are as old_ as 300 years before Christ, and pio- bablythey Were all,except two or three, writ- ten after 206 years B. C. Ecclesiasticus seems to have been written very soon after 300 years B. C., and to have been translat- ed into Greek a little before, 200 3 -ears be- fore Christ. In addition to • the Book of Esth.ei, the name of God, which does not °CCM: once in the canonical books, ie -very frequently introduced. Tie early Christian Fathers, both in the East and in the_West, unanimonsly rejected these books as a whole, tlibuglitwo or three of them seem to have regaided some single book of the cols lection as canonical.
