FOLLOWING THE sun.


The tide of migration again sets west
who rush towards sunset in the laundering
train, the green borders of the great wagon
roads are nightly lighted by the campfire Of
the home-hnnter. The canvass-covered
labor on, and the haxen heads of "com-

ney curtains, to see the wonders by the
way.
When one thinks of il, il is towards the
West, at the West, in the West, that the
hopes of half the world are starving. The
East is associated in the thought, with very
old ruins, and very ancient graves, and very
many yesterdays. But the West is vigos-
Gus and young-how glorious its rivers, bow
full of blue and beautiful to-morrows-
So thinking, thousands hurry over the old
worn thresholds of the East, and leave the

faces to the West, and depart The sEn is

told that other bills are yet to be reported

items already rejected by the House. Nor

About year sincea young man, named
James Dean, at that time working as jour-
neyman carpenter, in Chicago, received a
legacy of about 64o, 900, by the death of an
uncle, in Australia. The New Covenant
announces that he died last week from the
effects of dissipation.
We see from the St. Louis papers that
two lots of new wheat have been received
there. One lot was from Shelby county,
Tennessee, and other from De Soto county
Mississippi. They brought $2,lo and $2,25
per bushel. The receipts are nearly four
weeks earlier than last years.
The Detroit Tribune learns from the
Clerk of the Illinois, that small sail boat

TiI7E FLOOD IN THE MIssIsstRFt--A dis
patch from Memphis, dated the t2th. Saturday
last, states that the Mississippi lacked only
one inch of being as high as at the highest
point this season. The Arkansas was rising
fast, having suddenly risen nine feet ct Aittle
Rock. And upon this a tremendous flood
from the Missouri-the terrible "June rise''
and from the Upper Mississippi, is rolling
down, while the Ohfs is bank full, and the
Wabash and Cumberland pouring out vast
tributes to swell the Father of Floods, in this
his most fatherly of moods. What will be
