u Mr.. Walker. says the Louisville
Courier, drew his outfit to China, nine
thousand dollars. for staying a, home.
His case seems to US verv suggestive
one. As nearly all the officers have
been disposed of and applicants are still
increasing in aGnber and in noise, the ad-
mlnisration must of course do as much
as i, possibly can with very small means.
II has now only two first class missions
in its gift, the mission to China and the
mission to France, and, if it will appoint
twenty Loeofoccs successfully to each of
these missions, every appointee obliga-
ling himself in resign Immediately after
drawing The outfit, forty clamorous Loco
focos will be very handsomely rewarded,
and the two missions will still remain az
the Presidents disposal as a means of
keeping the next Congress in good sub
;ectlon..

DIR. Ray, editor OF The Galena Jeffer
sonian, who is travelling with party of
reconnaissance across Iowa, with the
view of ascertaining The practicabiIily
of railroad route west from Galena.
gives the following account of Trappist
Monastery which the party found upon
one of the large prairies. '
About ten or iwelye miles from Du.
buque, we passed, yesterday, a Trap
pist Monastery-the most notice able
object on the prairie for miles around -
Our whole party stopped at the gate,
and being invited in. Partook of the hos
piIaliiy of the Brothers. The bulldiag
they now occupy is but temporary af
far; 1t will be replaced soon by more
imposing and durable structure; at pres
ent there are sixty of the Brotherhood
of La Trappe, who constitute its ouly
tenants. Attached there is farm of
500 acres which IS cultivated by the
monks without aay assistance. Their
herds of cattle. focks of sheep, and
fields OF grain, shame the more humble
efforts OF their neIghbors. We were
kindly received, and were asked to par
take of the humble fare which the rules
Of The order prescribe,--bread, vegeta.
bles and milk, and which. as we had
just dined on the less spiritual. bu, more
substantial comes;ables, fried pork and
boiled ham, we were compelled reluct-
anily To decline. Asking permission to
look through the establishment. we were
conducted by brother to the chapel,
chapel room, the refractory, The kitchen
and The durmitorv. In The refractory,
the evening meal was set. love too

ANcE, Aug. l4lh, 1859.
MEssRs. EDITORS OF THE SUNBEAM:
In accordance with instructions from
the above named Division Of Sons of
Temperance. address you the follow
ing note, relative TO charges recently
made in The Keokuk Dispatch. tending
to discredit and mar The usefulness OF
our Temperance paper, the Sunbeam.
WHEREAS, We have seen with reerel
several articles recently published in the
Keokuk Dispatch, making serious char
ges agains, the Sunbeam, and knowing
as we do that there is no foundation for
said charges, we take this method of
saying to the friends of Temperance in
and out Of the State, that we have una.
bated confidence in the integrity and
sound orthodoxy on the Temperance
question Of the Sunbeam and Its editors,
and as such can recommend them to the
friends of Temperance both in and ou,
of the State.
Believing as we do that complaints
should come from Temperance men,
who, if any, by their position and prin.
ciples would feel aggrieved rather than
those who are known to oppose the
Maine Law. ridiculing il as fanatical au,i
impracslcatle; we therefore pledge our
selves to do what became our duty once
before relative to the Star OF Temper
ance, that is to warn the friends of Tenn.
perance against it, when from any cause
we have lost confidence in the Sunbeam.
but until then we wish il understood that
our only temperance organ goes forth
fully endorsed by Us, and as such, call
upon all the friends of Temperance to
rally 10 its support.

How sweet it is to dream of those,
We've loved thro' many long, long year
To dream we see them as of old,
Although they may not now be here.
To dream we view them as they were,
So loving and SO kind they seem,
Yet oh! we wake and find them gone,
We wake, and find it all dream.
Just such dream, / had last night,
II was so heavenly and so fair;
l dreamed | saw an angel bright, ..
Who beckoned sweetly for me there.
This angel wore mortals form.
Whose mem ory shall ever love,
Oh! would that were with her now,
With Angels bright and fair above.
I dreamed | saw her once again,
As seated calmly by my side,
Beneath the shady old oak tree,
Ere she became my own dear Bride.
dreamed saw her as she stood.
With me before the holy shrine, . .
And thought l heard her whisper low,
That she was wholly, wholly mine.
dreamed saw her fall to rest,
So calmly, gently ana so fair,
Her pure white hands cross'd DER her breast
White rose buds woven in her hair.
| dreamed | saw her as she lay,
Beneath the cold, the silent Tomb,
Tho all appeared so dark and still,
To her there was no fear, no gloom.
