BfEXA VlSTA, Aug. 14. 1871.
I'olk county prospects", fiiuiiiciallj-, were
never so good. The crops of wlicat, bar
ley, oats, liny, and l;bt tlioiigh not least in
import:ince,liops,li;ive in no pasttime prom
ised as good .i yield as at present, and t!ie
increase in aeienge, with good prices, tend
to make the people social and energetic if
not happy p.nd coTltentfd.
This cottnti" being more mliiiig on the
surface than Linn. the. crops of cereals nat
urally come in earlier, and in consequence
the warehouses are fast Ailing up. If lha
present fine weather for harvesting contin
ues but a few weel, this part of the coun
try will feel rich indeed, as the much cov
eted dollar can be realized for nil the good
wheat, and it is being fast secured.
Bu;-ine in the village is running on a
safer bais than usual, and we think on'a
better basis tor all parties. The farming!
community go in debt les--. and count the j
cost in making purcliates . more closely, j
So tin? laboi intr man and storekeeper are!
more likely to got their part of the money
than in the former way of purchasing a
long as there is anything to be bought on a
credit. But while the present seems so
prosiK'totis and the future outlook so prom
ising, the counterpart is not entirely ab-
sent. The neighbors are called to-day to ;
pay the last tribute of respect to one of the ;
best of their number Mr. II. M. Holder, j
whom the village .and neighborhood could j
ill afford to spare a man in the prime of
life, of industrious habits, and always found
at his post, his influence all the time on the
side of good, and possessing a large degree
ot social organism just! such a man as.
makes up :i desirable and prosperous eoui
munity. Iro. Bower-sox, of Albany, con
ducted a very appropriate religion- service,
after which the Odd Fellows took charge,
and a large concourse of people followed
the remains to their last resting place.

Oct ix tiik wet. -One of onr farmers
last Sprinir lost a sack partially filled with
wheat. East week the sack was found in
the field just where it biid been dropped,
and although the seed bad laid thereon the
ground enveloped in the! bag. exposed to
the weather all through the Spring and
Summer; with tlie exception of probably a
tea en pf ul that lay in the neck of the bag
rather by itself, the wheat was as bright
and clean as the day it was lost. About a
teneupful bad slid along toward the month
of the bag when it was dropped, and this
small amount had commenced to sprout.

Pale 'memory tiings hpr portals free
To fairy scenes of golden light
And sparkles ot the summer sea.

The trellised vines are sere and thbi,
Vbeie through the viuioti marks alone
The shadows of the Might-Have Been.
Where once the jocund Hours in troops
Sped iightlv -on, with jest and laugh,
The pilgrim form of Sorrow stoops
And falters on bis teeble st-itf.

To mock us with the Miht-llave Been.
From ruined tower and shattered- fane .

And bat-winged messengers of pain
Beat theduil air with ceaseless strokes.
The f tt.-tl gitlfs we blindly crossed
Again in is'.l thoir woe are seen. .
And phantoms ot the loved and lost
Smile mdly from the Might-Have Been.
Close. Memory, 'ilose thy portals gray,
And o'er my sou! oblivion cast,
Or send dark tears to blot away
The vi-tas of the bitter past !
Wild, with regrets. bt:t all in vai't,
For that mrecease we ne'er may win !
