We had conversation with our fellow
,ownsman, Eli Bruce, who has jus, returned
from The land sales in Iowa, and language
fail to depict the greed there displayed for
land.
The Usage land office in the northeastern
portion of Iowa, was opened for private en-.
try on Monday, the 18th ult. In that two
year old town of eight hundred people, some
two thousand land speculators had congre.
gated. They slept where they could, and
grumbled not al strange bed fellows; they
paid one dollar and half per day for board,
and butter was furnished but twice month.
In anticipation Of the crowd, the land office
was barred and boiled upon the inside On
the Saturday previous 10 the opening sale,
some fifteen men planted themselves outside
the door OF the Office, maintaining their post
Saturday night, and Sunday night and were
ready for the door to open on Monday morn
ing. Near the hour for opening The rnsh of
fifteen hundred was made, and in their re-
venge upon the fifteen who had been two
nights and day at the door, they crowded
upon the building, breaking the ribs of a

of his anguish all beguied.
Gazing from his 'atticed ca ement,
Lay dying iIlrle child.
lie. the darling Of his mother,
Cherished by sisters love,
Now was waiting for the angels -
Waiting to be called above!
As he watched, thus spread before him
Clouds Of every shape and hue.
Fading them. into the distance,
Far beyond the mountains blue;
lloler thoughts and aspirations
Crowded on the sick ones mind,
And lie felt no more OF sorrow
Earth and friends to leave behind.
Just then looking from the window,
WondrouS sights did he behold;
Seraphs, clad in snow-whte garments,
Playing on the!r harps ofgold;
And, before the echoiug music
Died in sweetest notes away,
He to had become an angel,
Bright and beautiful as they.
