BURLINGToN lowA.-One OF the finest
towns on the Mississippi above ST. LOUIS,
is Burlington, IN the Iowa Territory. 1t
was formerly the seat Of Government,
now removed 20 Iowa city. Burlington
IS situated on handsome slope, gradual
ly descending to the river from height
ofrearly one hundred feet. The harbor
is wholly free from bars or any sort OF
obstruction the largest boats float oil a
long the landngin plenty of water. This
town is constantly full Of strangers. 1t
.sa point where the mail stages, east
vest, north, and south find the termna-
ton Of their contracts. There are more
spacious and beautiful brick buildings IN
Burlington than liz any other town on the
Mississippi above ST. Louis, and many OF
the handsomesi are now erecting. Quln-
cy takes tho palm in the magnifcence OF
her hotels; but Burlington is ahead in
large business houses, as well as in the
amour: OF trade. Phe town cannot fail
TO be, at an early period, a large and
beautiful city. Asthe back country fills
up, Burlington' will increase : and there
has been constant stream of emigration
pouring into Iowa, which the hard times
has now somewhat checked, but which
must shortly again increase more rapidly
than ever. iowa must swell in popula.
ton more rapidly than aay surrounding
State or territory, Tor the reason that EN-.
igrants find here point beyond which
they cannot get. The mover can move
no farther west, and must content himself
here, where, indeed, there is every thing

PLEASING ABL PARTIES. This hopeless
attempt usually ends by pleasing none,
for time-servers neither serve themselves
nor any one else. AS the endeavor in
wolves contemplate compromise OF prln-

parties whom we seek to conclIate. -
What opinion can we have Of man who
has no opinion Of his own? A neutral,
we can respect but a Janus-faced double
dealer, who affects to belong to both sides,

of giving offence is the greatest of all Of
fences. OF this, a ludicrous instance was
afforded at the time of the riots in 1880,
when every one was obliged to chalk mo

From, Boston Miscellany for September:
TUE SHEPHERD OF KING ADMETUS.
by }. r. LOWELL.

BY -. a. Lo"hLL
sERg came youth upon the earth
Some thousand years ago.
Whose slender hands were nothing worth
Either to plough, or reap, or sow.
He made Tyre, and drew sherefrom
Music so deep and rich,
Thay all men loved TO hear, and some
Muuered of faggots for witch
But KiRg Adnetus, one who had
Pure taste by right divine,
Decreed his singing not TOO bad
To hear between the cups OF wlne.
And so, we'll pleased with being soothed
Into sweet holf-sleep,
Three times his king!y beard he smoothed
And made him vicersy of his sheep
His words were simple words enough,
And yet he used them SO,
That what in other mouths seemed rough
In his was musical and low.
Men called him but a shiftless youth,
In whom no good they saw,
And yet, unwittingly in truth,
They made his careless words their law.
They know no. how he learned at all,
For hour after hour,
He sat and watched the dead leaves fall,
Or unused upon common flower
Ii seemed the loneliness of things
Did teach him all their use,
And in mere weeds and stones and springs
He found healing power profuse.
Men granted that his speech was wise,
YET when a sight they caught
Ofhis slim grace and woman's eyes,
They luughedu called him good-for- nought.
But afterhe was dead and gone,
And 'en his memory dim,
Earth seemed more sweet to live upon,
More full of love, because of him.
And day by day more holy grew
Each spot where he had trod,
And after-poets only knew
Their frst-born brother was god.
June 25 1912.
