Never did the face of the earth exhibit a more promising appearance than at the present season. Such burdens of grass have seldom been known, as are now cut. English grain is uncommonly filled out, and, if no unforeseen accident happen, will yield a rich harvest. Indian corn is very flourishing; and the fruit-trees of all kinds are richly laden.—How happy the situation of an American farmer! Proprietor of the soil he cultivates, he acknowledges no landlord but the Lord of all land; and it may truly be said, that "God hath given him of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine."
