THE oLDcLocKIN THE HALL

THE OLD CLOCKIN THE HALL
1T stands in q corner of the room;
Behind the door in the shade and gloom,
In heavy and antique case,
Rich mahogany, maple and oak,
Battered and scratched, and dim with smoke,
And the hands are bent on the facei
The knob and hinges are red with rust,
The top o tn mouldng's covered with dust,
The pannels are yellow with stains
And a ragged web like like tattered pail
Runs from its side to the somtrc wall,
And over the window panes.
The pendulum swings the wheels go round,
Making dull monotonous sound,
IS the vanishing moments heet
A tick like the falling grains of sand,
AS if time was pouring out his hand
The dust of years at his feetl
Years have vanished forgotten years
With all their sorToYs end sins and teare,
And left their marke in the halls
The old have died, the young grown old
Generations have gone to mould,
And the clock survives them all.
Beautiful girls have watched the hours,
Knitting at stands. or working flowers,
In frames ofhroidery fine
And mornings, the young folks playing late.
Wishing the moments fettered to eight,
For the school began at 'ninei'
Mothers, with sons in distant lands,
Sorowing, child its lardy hands,
Aud dreamed of the meeting. dear
And wives, whose husbands returned asnight
Marked the time in the fading light,
And listened for footsteps nearl
Blushing brides, at their toilets gay,
In snowy robes on the happy day,
Have waited the hour to we'd
And sick folks tossing on beds of pain,
Gazed at the clock again and again,
Andwatched beside the dead
But years have vanished, and others fill
Their place, and tho old clock star,deth still
Ticking as in its prime
Summer and winter, day and night,

Tolling the knell of Timel

THE MINNESOTA PIONEER


Every man in Minnesota, who raises a
cabbage, bushel Of potatoes, or any other
produce for sale, has his labor protected by
a high, natural tariff against the competition
of farmers abroad, by an amount equal to
the price Of transportation from below, add
ed to tho insurance and the profits Of the
produce dealer. This protection, in the ar
ricle Of potatoes, amount to more than fifty
Der cent; in the article Of oats, to more
than twenty five per cent; in corn, to some
thing more, and it amounts to large pro-
lection in the articles Of beef, pork, huttor
eggs and all the eatables. Now we assume
that every one Of these articles can be pro-
duced with as little labor in Minnesota q:
anywhere olse. In the production of pota'
toes, beets, carrots, :parsnips, turnips, cab
bngcs, in short, in al tho produce Of the
garden, the most causual observer could
see last summer and all candid observers
admitted that no lanl surpassed ours. W.
arc not at all surprised that our agricultur
al products amount to so much less thar
the demand and the actual consumption
Besides the market always created by al
influx Of immigrants who are not yet pro
ducers, here are hundreds of lumbermen tt
feed, thousands Of Indians and several CON.
panies of troops. We mention these in
ducements to farmers as an encouragement
to engage, no matter to how great an extent
In the cultivation Of crops, and especially il
those necessary articles Of food for the ia
ble, which are too heavy for transportation
from below. There IS no danger Of glut
fling the market. Cultivate all the land

where We now have one, and you will al

sums Of public money for the support o.

In this view of the subject, the truth oi
which we challenge any man to controvert
1t is suscepsibly Of demonstration, that the
poorest acre Of ground here, may be cult

In almost any other part of the west, where

II Graceless !Scamp.-A scamp who
used to raise particular purgatory n

invoke the customary blessing, and not
wishing to have it understood that tbcre
was any one thing he could not do, made
the effort. Hastily rccollccting all he
could of the usual form, he began, and
made an excellent start oft, but for his
life he could not tell how to close il oA:
1t was easier to go on than to stop. FL
