tail" Sorry to say t!-but this agrees ex-
actly with his general character, for he sports
moustache-talks of nothing but operas and
balls, and thinks Of nothing but the girls-walks
with cane-holds high head, and looks down
with pity and contempt upon poor people in
common, and mechanics in general! Poor fcl
low his is a bad case ;-shouldn't wonder if his
prodigality is perfectly natural, though: he's
been elevated to the position of CLERK in coun-

TIE WAY THEY GET Rich Iy THE WEST
trednd Of ours, just returned from Kansas,
where he has resided two years, tells of the
nigh prices of provisions in that region. Flour,
last month, was selling at $I4 per barrel, mo.
lassc" 81 30 a gallon, pork 20 cents a pound,
and other things at the same rate The crops
last year were poor, the winter severe, killing
many cattle, and the army Of emigration SO
large as to dcvonr all before them. To the
question, how did you live ?-the answer was
prompt. "Llve," said he, live on cracked
corn; corn for breakfast; corn for dinner; and
corn tor supper have just learned to live;
and If had practiced here for ten years, what
was forced TO do there, even at low wages,
should have been rich man"

TELEGRAPH TO THE Pacific 1t is stated
that Henry O'RciIly, of telegraphc fame, offers
to the United States Government to build, at
hls own expense, a telegraphic line to the
Pacific, If military protection against Indians
be afforded. Mr.. O'RcjIly would have a hard
time oft to keep such line standing as the
territories are now situated. When the wagon
roads are built and military posts established,
as Is contemplated, the difficulty will not be SO
great, though the faculties for Keeping such an
extensive line IN operation, over a country to
winch is so little convenient access, will be al
ways vexatlous and annoying. The Telegraph
will doubtless, long precede the railroad to the
PacIhc' though both are only waiting the prop
er opportunity TO connect the extreme Eastern
and Western portions Of this continent more
indissolubly.

Looking ack k

Looking backward on the past
Many varied scenes we view
Same. whose sweetness long will last
Others sad and cherries too'
Flowers of the fairest bloom
Smile along life's trodden track
Which ou: memory gathers home'
AS in dreams she wanders back.
Dreams of beauty come and CO.
Holding us beneath their spell;
Joy and sorrow seem to flow
Each from out its hidden CELL
Yes, there is mystic chain,
Liaked unto the days gone by;
And we live life Ger again,
In the realms of memory.
Ever welcome as the spring
Are our past dreams crowned with MOWERS
Unto which the heart will cling,
Even to life's latest hours.
Hope still points to what's to be,
Chanting aye her hymn sublime;
But the pas: we plainly see
Written on the scroll of Time.
JOHN BOOKER.
