MY SENTIMENTS


BY TOM FRANK.
A health 10 the lass with the laughing blue eye,
That seems To have borrowed its hue from the sky,
Where Young Love is constantly feeding his flame,
And Virtue sits blocking the entrance 10 Shame
Who weeps with the mourning and laughs with the gays
VINO can comfort old age with infancy play;
Whose religion is Charity-good will her creed
Here Is 10 her for she Is q woman indeed!
And here's TO the girl with the iuslroas black eye
Who one moment may laugh and the next moment sign ];
Whose heart is casket OF Joy and OF Sref
And the first knows no limit, the last no relief;
Who deeply doth love, but as deeply can hate,
And though trusting in God, believer In Fate;
Who for pity will weep, or In anger VIII Kill
Here's her health she is one OF the softer sex st.
Here's 10 the coquette with the optic OF grey,
Who will never say ives" but can hardly say "nay;
Who falls dead ia love with each beau that she sees,
But never finds one for long time TO please
Who is anxious marry aud yet is afraid;
Who lives young ninny and dies an old maid;
Though blumeful her folcs il must be confessed
Yet her health she's woman as we'll as the rest.
In 6ns, here's 10 WoaAS the large and the small
The lean and the feshy, the short and the tall
The dark eye, the blue eye, the hazel and grey
The cheerful and sullen, the grave and the gay
| care not how faulty their natures may be,
They are women, which fact is sufficient for me-
And the first most exquisite enjoyment in life,
Ia the smile OF sweetheart or kiss of q wife.

FAY, without fear of contradiction that this is
one of the finest natural roads in the world,
combining everything necessary to sustain
stock and am confident that il it's advantages
are fully made known to Congress, that it will
be adopted for the great Pacific Railroad. On
this line almost the entire route can be settled,
as all the land from Missouri to B3nts Fort IL
rich and very fertile, equal to the best lands OF
Missouri and Illinois, and no land can beat the
Sierra Blanca for grass; even to the very sum
nit it stands as thick as the best meadows ;
many acres would NOV at least four tons per
acre Then comes the large and beautiful
Valley st. Louis, said TO be one OF the most Ter
tile in New Mexico indeed, fine land is upon
the whole route, and the climate such that
stock can live ali winter upon grass. | VIII
here state the route think best for entrants
to travel: Leave Wostport Missouri, take the
road to Uniontown then 10 Fort Centre, then
take Capt. GunnisUns trail, which leads from
the Kansas 70 the Arkansas, near the mouth
of Walnut Creek, up the Arkansas above Bents
Old Fort, thiTty-twO miles then up the Huer-
fano, through Capt Gunnisou's pass, to Fort
Massachusetts,: then 10 Little Salt Lake, Walk
er's Pass, Sierra Nevada; then down the val
Icy OK the San Joaquin 10 STOCKTON or Dan
Francisco. There are settlements at different
points oil along this route, where emigrants
can get supplies none further apart than two
hundred miles After leaving Missouri, you
pass first Council Grove, next the Fort on Wal
nut Creek, next Gre.n Horn, next Fort Mas
sachusetts, Little Salt Lake, Sonta Clara, Ne
gas de Cazatara; at each OF these, supplies can
be had feel confident when Capt. Gunpi-
son makes out his report, that this route will
be adopted. The pass through the Sierra
Blanca is so Low md gradual that railroad
can be made over il, and the grade will not ex-
coed fifty feet to the mile Capt Gunnison is
doing his whole duty, and well deserves the
