that are, and calmly, quietly and in con-
formity with an ancient established adage,
like Lamb" shuttle off the stage of
action, TO be Remembered on " among the
things that were. few more feeting
breaihs and we will have been ushered
into the poeical month of "smi!es and
tears" sunshine and shade, April showers
and budding flowers ; the month of chan
ges, alterations, renovations : such, like
woman, is the fickle and inconstant April,
yet we cordially welcome and love both.
Surrounding circumstances and coming
events betokens an early season, which
all are grateful for as every one depricates
the idea Of the unprecedented doings of
last year. Already the vast raries are
beginning 10 exhibit signs of the garnilure
Of approaching spring. The wheal.felds
are profusely clothed in mantle of rich,
velvety green, and present to the lover of
agriculture, AID pupil Of Nature, a truly
beautiful aspect. Whilst these beauties
of nature force themselves upon my sight
| am aroused 10 full realization that
"Advancing spring pro!usely spreads a.
broad
Flowers Of all hues, with sweetest fra
GRANGE stored"
Already the frugal farmer has commen-
ced making necessary preparations for the
sharpened coulter. The process of burn
ing off the grass previous to blowing is in
full blaze every night; and the surround
ing prairie presents magnificent and
sublime sight. The constant fires extend
for miles round, "and the Heavens above
and the earth beneath are handsomely
illuminated, rendering it grand, impo-
sing, and TO your writer, novel sight.
At the approach of the impending sea-
son, business is Frightening little, dis.
|pellrg the dark clouds Of anomalous dull-
ness that has spread like funera! pail,
over the whole country, caused by the
ldeplorable financial crisis of last Sep,em-
Der. Many of the merchants, after having
difficult time collecting the necessary
funds have been TO the eastern cities. and
returned with "new and fashionable
goods" which Of itself always tends to
drive vway the dull mono,ony of the
country. Bright and shining tstore box
es" are observable in various parts of the
town, which not only gives the place
business appearance, bu, affords ample
accommodations for genteel Ioaiers, who
Eif supplied with good "Barlow" can
make out to white the time away quite
comfortably.
There is nothing in the way Of news
transpirng out in Border Rulliandom,
therefore ! can't make this much Of
news letter, if at all readable. Kansas, al.
though admitted in the sacred bond Of the
Union by the Senate "is an old tale and
often told )" we hear nothing from the
Territory lately but accounts Of brutal
outrages, robbery, murder, &c, &C.,
which have been so frequent Of late that
the good people of Missouri are well nigh
tired of ii; Kansas in fact has become
''fla, stale and Improbable"
Utah has opened wider field for spec
ula,ion 1t is the all absorbing topic, and
numbers are turning their attention to
| Womandom. The Border Rufians are
an active, prompt and chivalrous set, let
ting no opportunity slip when it presents
itself TO show their zeal and loyalty to the
Stale and for their country's good. Since
the passage of the volunteer bill volGn-
teer company has been organized in the
town Of Lexington, and are preparing 10
tender their services for the campaign in
Utah. 0..t
