To IL eaderS and Correspondents
1--WE have received a communica-
ton from "ANsELMo," which will be
printed next week.
LIZA Review of'W's' article on the
S. of T." is received and will be attend
ed to next week.
Quite a number of original articles
will be found on the first page. We
are pleased with the article on "The
Elk River" and hope to hear from the
writer often. 'E." is out with a pretty
sharp article in reply to "Sonny." This
is quite spirited controversy, and we
hope care will be taken to avoid, as much
as possible, falling into anything like
personality. Both the writers will OBJ
serve that we have, from time to time,
stricken out of their articles, sentences
and words, which we deemed objection
able. In doing so I've have taken out
some very apt but very hard hits. "VER1-
TAs" furnishes another article on the
Church and Temperance, which we do
not think will be found Objectionable by
those who took exception to a former
article on the same subject. The No
tees of the Literature of the Deaf and
Dumb are written, as stated, by a mute,
and are very interesting. We would be
pleased to hear often from "JoE." MAJ.
JOINS submits proposition to raise
money to build monument to the Cos
den family, lately assassinated in Kent,
which, we understand, will be responded
to literally if the proper steps be taken.
I+Upwards Of year ago story ran
the rounds Of the papers, that wild girl
had been several times seen in some Of
the remote regions of Texas. The evil
dence appeared to be conclusive, and the
story was received as a fact. 4 1anci-
full and poetical young friend of ours fell
in love with the nymph of the wood, al
though at some two thousand miles dis
lance, and he wrote the story of his love
in a very beautiful narrative, which was
printed in Tie Wig in April last. In
looking over an exchange paper few
DAYS ago we noticed that "The Wild
Girl of Texas had been taken, and lad
we not known the whereabouts OF our
friend, we would have averred that he
had taken her. But, alas! for romance ::
she was Gas black as the ace of spades'
"a wild African negress who had es-
capped from some of the Texas planta-
tons. 1t is said she had been sixteen
years in the wilds, during which time
she had lived on fruits and berries.
Upon being taken to some slaves who
came from Africa, she was found to have
retained enough of her language to con-
verse with them. Our correspondent
will not again, we presume, fall in love
with wild girl, until he gets sight Of
her.
L. When we closed our paper last
week a snow-storm was raging, and the
next morning the snow lay deeper than
at any time during the winter. But the
sun hastily swept it away, and in few
DAYS nothing Of it was to be seen. The
Spring is Fastening on-every one is
looking for ii and joining in the song
81 am looking for the coming,
The coming of the Spring;
Oh! my heart with Joy is swelling,
And gladness in it dwelling;
While Pm waiting for the coming,
The coming of the Spring.
I've been weary too, with waiting,
Waiting for the Spring;
When the birds shall tell their praises,
And with heavenly rapture sing
OF the presence of earth's iairest child,
The lovely blooming Spring.
o! how long must be waiting,
For the coming of the Spring
When the flowers smile with fearful eye
At their awakening
And the brooks shall dance so gaily,
To welcome back the Spring.
Cease, cease my heart thy pining,
Thy pining for the Spring
For soon she'll come and over all
Her fairest beauties fling
So Pm looking tor the coming,
