SHE WAS A W1Dow.-A pale and pen
sive lady has just passed she is clad in the
weeds of profoundest woe; doubtless she
was a widow. A moment to imagine her
history. He whom she mourr,s has WOO
led her in her childhood There is a fra

blessed drama was performed by their fer
Eyid lips. They were wed at last. Months,
perhaps years, departed, and then the sha-
dow FELL. He blessed her amid the marches
|of the night, ard in the morning with the
stars The earth is laden with such histo-
Iries. She was blithe and merry once
EShe loved the customs Of society, and adj
hered with sort Of piety to the maxims
of fashion. Gay and happy as the world
i'm which she dwelt. But it is mournful
thing to carry dead heart in q living boz
Isom. It is bitter thing far a lip used to
ldainties to feed on ashes. It is fearful
thing for the living. to know Chat their only
treasures is hid in the grave-beautiful life
linked to repulsive corruption. Her desires
are written upon her face. It's expressions
translate her muttered yearnings. She
longs to join,in the distant and better coun-
TRY, him who has gone before. The well

How lovely will be that dying smile when
the prayerful lips shall close at the touch
Of deaths cold finger. God grant that the

FARMING IN CALIFoRNIA.-The Golden
State seems to be sorely afflicted. The
Evening Post says that letters in New York
Estate:
| California agriculturists, are said, also,to
be impoverished by debts incurred in rails
ing last years crop of potatoes, for which
they could find no market. One extern
lsiye planter in Bodeea lost 100000 in this
way. Grain farmers also suffered to great
extent, as their crops did not yield a price
Iequal to tie cost Of labor. As natural
result Of this state of things, they could
not raise money to purchase tea, coffee,s
gar and ether necessaries for their subsis-
tence. These n5eff hsve thus been suffering
from She enormous expectation Of flour and
all other articles from the Atlantic seaports
to California. In Sacramento Valley, this
lseason, great deal of the wheat crop has
fbeen beaten bown and thrashed out by vi
1olent storms, besides what has been des-
|troyed by fire.

THE RIGHT MArERIAL.-The emigrants
who have been sent out by the Kansas En-
igration Society, appear to be men of the
true stamp-fearless and bold. The Ro-
chester Union tells good story of these en-
igrants. The reward offered for the head
Of Eli Thayer, seems to have stimulated
them to even a more defiant attitude:
Kansas Pioneer Porty-Letters have
been received from Mr.. Day, of the Kan
sas Pioneer Party. They all arrived safe
at the mouth of the Kansas River, on the
goth Of July, only ten days from Roches
ter. They were to leave for trip up the
Kansas River in few days. They intend
to locate and build each log cabin; the be-
ginning Of the to-be-City ofthe west. The
Missouri Argus publishes an account Of a
meeting, offering a reward Of $500 for Eli
Thayer, President Of the Kansas Enigra-
ton Society. Some of the pioneer party
stated to the shareholders they met, if they
would hand over the money, the man stood
ready to personate Mr.. Thayes, and take
the consequence.

TO SECURE BACON From THE FLy.-A
writer in the American Farmer recommends
as an lnfaiiible remedy against the fly: When
your bacon IS smoked early in the spring be-
lore the fly has made its appearance, take
quick-lime slackened to a dry powder, and
rub the meat thoroughly on every part with
1t, leaving it to adhere as much as possible
hang up your meat, and rest secure from a.
ny trouble from insects. We have for many
years rubbed our hams with hickory wood
ashes, and then packed them up in close
casks, with tight-ftting tops, and we have
yet to find the first insect in our bacon. We
think ashes preferable to lime, and are much
pleasanter handling in packing away, or in
getting rid Of when the hams are required for

Mantalini called the ssdemnition bowwows."
We would respectfully ask Senator Jones,
how he expects to reach the dome ia question
Where viii he find a lader tai. enough to scale
the heavens? And if he did reach il, how
would he set it afre-whenitis incombustible?
We warrant the sapient Senator never thought
of that.

uphold that glorious dome, should be entirely

Defeat Of Coz. Benton.

The defeat Of Col. Benton for the House
of Representatives in the ST. Louis district,
is an event in political history. The ma
|jority against him is SO decided, and the
feeling which has produced it has been cul-
tiyated SO long and is So determined and
unyielding, that it is folly to think that he
can recover his ground, and it is equally
absurd to suppose that Col Benton will
surrender, SO long as he can make motion
or breathe defiance to his foes. He had
thought to regain his situation in the SEN
ate, but the Legislature which has been re-
turned, a majority Of them, would perhaps
prefer any other man in Missouri to fill
that Office rather than him. Through life
he hes shown no quarter to his foes, and
they IN Missouri would be as far from civ
ing it to him as he would be from asking it.
There are some who talk of him for the
Presidency. AS influences are now shaping
themselves, we do not see where he could
command single electoral vote for that
office. He Is now seventy-two years old,
and In the common course of events, must
soon, like his other great contemporaries,
pass from the stage Of action. He has
achieved fame by his own strength, the on
ly way in which he would have received
it. For many years, he literally crushed
whatever opposed him; first in The Whig,
and then in bis own party. This rule Of
action increased the number Of his enemies

Tie next morning, just as faint and al
most indistinct linesof gray light began to
streak the eastern sky, heralding the ap-
proach of day, Tom Frost might have been
seen with his old cedar windlass frafae on
his shoulder, vending his way to Dummy's
new lead. He congratulated himself, as
he picked his way carefully among the min
eral holes, upon the uninterrupted success
which had thus far attended his efforts in
becoming the owner of poor Dummy's dig
|gings, and upon the Frightening prospect
which the progress of his scheme was hour
ly opening up before him, betokening COM
plete success. Such a strong impression
had already been made upon him that his
mind began to lead him off into those en-
chanted fields which the magic wand Of
fortune always creates in the minds Of the
lpoor. So completely was he absorbed in
this pleasing train of thought, that he I'M
consciously deviated to considerable dis
tance from the direct path leading to the
lplace he wished to 90. How far he would
have gone in the wrong direction had he
not missed his footing while treading close
upon the side of a shallow hole, and been,
IN consequence, thrown with some force to
the ground with the frame upon his head
land back, cannot now be known. The
i shock he received soon dissipased bis feve-
RE; and upon fegainiing his feet, be disco
Iyered that the faint streak of gray IN the
east had enlarged TO a broad belt OF bright
yellow, fringed upon its upper edge BY nr-
merous miniature clouds tinted with pur-
|ple and gold, while beneath rich glow Of
lively red and orange warmed by the neal
approach of the sun, reached down to the
point where the sky and land seem to min
Gle and become one, and all showed thai
the day-god was just upon the point Of ri
sing.

those of France with long bill af partic-
