SERVING A SUBPOENA.

1t is singular what shifts love will
make to accomplish its objects. Both
gates and bars are of little avail against
Cupid's pick lock CONFERENCE.-The cum
ming will devise ways and means to open
them all. A young gentleman had
courted fair damsel of this city and it
was supposed that they two in time
would "become one." Some little quar-
rel sof a trivial nature, as lovers quarels
generally are, occurred. Neither would
confess the wrong to be on their side
presents and correspondence were mutu-
ally sent back and the match was broken
off. The young gentleman immediately
started off to New Orleans, TO enter into
commercial bushes, thinking that distance
would lessen the attachment he really
felt for the young lady.
When the woman is injured, or thinks
she is injured, by the one she loves, she
is more apt than the male sex 'to bite
of her own nose" as the saying is, to
infict pain, and be revenged on the Of
tending object. A gentleman that the
young lady had once rejected, renewed
his proposals and was accepted within
week after her old lover had embarked
for the South. On reaching New Or
leans he found that distance, instead of
weakening his attachment, only made
the lady dearer, and he became melan-
choly and low spirited. The first letter
he received from New York from friend
OF his announced that his old fame was
to be shortly married to another. His
course was quickly taken-the next
morning saw him on board a packet
ship bound for Gotham.
The passage unfortunately, was long,
and the poor fellow chafed and fretted
SO much that the passengers began to
think him deranged or else fugitive
escaped from justice. The instant the
vessel touched The wharf he darted for

THE MANIA FOB LAND SPECULA-
TON.

a Western correspondent of the Bos-
ton 1rdUeler writes to that journal as
follows:
Have you made any computation of
the enormous quantity of wild lands
purchased of the government within The
past five years? Have you thought of
the vast extent of lands taken up By in
diyiduals during that time in Indiana,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas? Of the many
millions of acres thus purchased, how
much has been sold. again and again,
at constantly increasing prices, with no
actual increase of value? How many
paper towns have been alluringly map
ped out, conveyed and re-ccnveyed,
without numberl How all improved
property throughout the West has ad-
Tanced in price, repeatedly changed
owners, and What an enormous indebted
ness has grown out of these unwanant-
able speculationsl If you have reflected
upon these facts, you can hardly be
surprised when you hear that times are
tight in the West, and bid fair 10 become
rapidly tighter. Nor will you be aston
ished if an almost universal insolvency
should result from the speculative fever
which for several years, has been grow
ing more and more general, until it has
seized upon all classes and almost every
individual amongst us.

A WORD ON THE OTHER SIDE.
BY ALICE GARY.

In almost every newspaper in the coun-
try there may be found, day after day,
week after week, and year after year, ar
ticles with such captions as the following;
"Advice to Wives" "The way to Make
Home Happy"-"How to Keep Hus-
bands Affection and other similar IL
ties. scores of which memory will at once
suggest 10 the reader. In all these ap
peals, eternal forbearance is urged as the
great duty of the wife in reference to the
foibles, faults, and positive sins of the
husband. She is entreated with all the
form of eloquence, between the thunders
of denunciation and the tenderest pathos,
always to meet him with a smile--to keep
the fire cheerful, and tae lamp trimmed,
against his coming-to have the table
spread elegantly and profusely, and all
the children, be they two to twenty, rosy
with health, and dressed as tidy and
tastefully as possible. ready to do reyer-
ence to their father, by flying like doves.

on the walk, or the grating of the latch

your husbands at home" say these wise
advisers, 'tmake home the happiest place
in the world. Just as if the best, and
most devoted, and self-sacrifcing, and
selfabnegating woman that was ever
born, could make home happy indepen-
dently of her husbands assistance and
cooperation.

TOT tlt
TO A FRIEND.

Twas q wanderer in q mountain way,
Striving to climb the rugged heights before me,
Fearing to step, lest I should go astray;
Night on the plain, the storm-clOuds gathering Ger
Long in this unknown way toiled alone;
No friend was near 20 tread the path beside me;
To aid me upward. or in friendships tone
To cheer to warn, to bless me, and to guide me.
1 watched the gathering tempest, in despair.
Sat down to wait its fearful visitation
To gather strength. if but might, to bear,
Or perish, il must, with resignation.
Then came thy voice to me from out the night.
sweeter than music waited from a distance:
How leapt my heart to joy, to life, to light.
With thy kind words, and prohers Of assstance
Those tones Of hine thou ddst not know their power
How they had poured the balm of consolation
Upon bleeding heart; that in that hour,
With thy few words Of friendly commendation,
Thou hadst the clouds. and night, dashed all away
Cleared my horizon for brighter daUnins,
And led me up rejoicing, on my way,
Amidst the light, and fragrance of the morning.
Nor didst thou know how hard strove to gain
mastery Ger myself, till some token
or nv deep gratitude could give, in vain;
No sign was made, no word of thanks was spoken.
Too busy was I, striving as might,
My seeming weakness from thy sight concealing,
Hiding the tears that gushing to the light
Game surging upward from the fount Of feeling
Most do thank thee, that thou hast not thought,
To judge me merely by my outward semblanee,
But of my mind little glimpse hast caught,
And deemed it worthy, somewhat, Of remembrance.
Most look upon me. as upon book.
Judging the outward form, with refusal
To look beneath but thou within didst look,
And think to give the pages there, perusal.
Though closed to vulgar eyes, that book to thee.
Kind friend. shall ever open at thy pleasure;
Each blot and beauty thou alike shalt see,
And conn it over, thou wilt, at leisure,
Little Of good thou nayest discover there,
But Ger the faults I'd ask thee MOTTO linger,
But as shou reaaezt, search them out with care,
And draw across them erasing finger.
Thou art poet, with his hate Of Wrong,
The great heart-worshper of Truth, and Beauty,
And more. thou art a Christian: and thy song
Breaths to Us still of Heaven. and of Duty.
And more, still more, hast thou been unto ms;
To me. alone, and wanting every other,
Thou hast been; If thou wilt shalt eUer be
More than Friend, Father and Brother.

MAKING a CLAIM.

AS many persons in the East, who
contemplate coming TO the West, don't
know what the above phrase means, nor
are they acquainted with the nlodus
operandi of securing claim, we will
give them in this from what we conceive
to be the way in which it is done.
There is sort of unwritten code of
laws, known as "'Squatter Law" which
regulates this matter, possession being
here as elsewhere, regarded as "nine
points in the law" This code is admin
lstered by tribunal, called Squat
ter's Court and its decisions are con-
sidered as binding among squatters as
the determinations of the regularly or
ganized Judiciary. All disputes are
submitted to this Court, and lis decisions
are final.
The new squatter selects his claim
wherever he can suit himself best, pro-
vided the land be selects be not claimed
by some one else before him. He marks
1t out by stakes, or by blazing the trees
around 1t. He then applies to the near.
est squatter organization, and asks to be
admitted as member, which is readily
done. The organization informs him
how much improvement he will be re-
quired to make to entitle him 10 their
protection as squatter. Some require
more, some less. Those near the towns
require more improvement than those re-
mote. Pledges are then taken OF him
that he will assist in protecting
each member of the association in the
possession of his claim; and, il nscessa-
ry to the accomplishment of this object,
will fight little. Also, that he will
abide the decision of the squatler Court,
&c.
BY this arrangement, many men of
small means are enabled to get good
iarms at the mere cost of entry, or for
the apprised value at public sale.
AT the public. sale no one is permitted
to bid against a squatter, or if such
should be the case, the individual doing
so, will be very likely to endanger his
personal safety. The whole proceeding
is somewhat primitive, but in the main
is just and equitable.--LeavenwortIs
Times.

since everybody wanted to buy lands
A marked change has come over them.
NoU, almost every body wishes TO sell
The question to be solved is, where are
the buyers TO come from? Some will
come from the East, no doubt, but not
enough 10 avert the disaster which is al
ready impending. Wild lands will be
wild lands still, and such are really
UOrM nothing. Until an gunner lives
upon it, township of wild land is utter
ly valueless; and after he has fixed his
residence upon it, its value only becomes
positive in proportion to the labor he in
telligently bestows upon it.
All the lands in the hands of recent
purchasers are producing and will pro-
duce nothing, until they are required
for actual occupants. Great and rapid
without precedent as has been the in
crease of population of Iowa within the
past five years; still full moiety, if not
more, of the land taken from Govern
ment is in the hands of mere speculators,
who have had and have no intention of
occupying them. They were purchased
with the sole idea of re-selling at an ad-
vance. Much of it has been bought of
first hands at from three to FIVE, and in
some instances even ten dollars per acre,
almost Immediately after the purchase
at the Government price.
Much of this latter description of pur-
chases has been on one two and three
years time. with ten per cent. interest,
the first and second payments now be-
ginning 10 fall due. How are these pay.
ments to be met? Ordinarily, sale of
the land would produce the money
This will not do now, for the simple rea-
son that, except an occasional purchaser
who will buy for personal use, no one
has money to invest. The land will be
sacrificed, and still the debts will remain
partially unpaid. Prices, instead of con-
tinuing TO advance, will rapidly recede,
until unimprOved lands may probably
be purchased al less than Government
valuations! Such must be the result,
except in special localities. How many
millions of dollars loss will this impose
on land jobbers and their unfortunate
victims! The estimate would be rather
appalling of itself, but as 1 think it in.
wolves a complete arrangement of 6nan-
cial affairs throughout the country--a
arrangement already manifesting itself,
it is quite safe to affirm that the present
land-buhble is fated to burst within the
current twelve month, and il is but wise
to prepare for the train of ruinous conse-
quences which must inevitably follow.
