"Dumbfounding'' a Dandy.

other at the table. After the Captain had
said grace, the dandy threw himself back
on his dignity, and called out in pompous
tone for the waiter
''You, watahl bwing me the supportah
of a young female hen, a fresh heg, and sab,
rub the bottom of my plate with a specimen
of fruit yulgarly called an onion, which
will give my dinnah delicious favah.''
The Yankee quietly threw himself back
in imitation of his neighbor, and in nasal
tone called out:
''Yeou ALFRED, dod-blasted, ded-rabbit-

fotch me peck of corn and bundle of
fodder, and rub me down with brick-bat,

Men ceased to think of masticating, while

Rosalie, the Prairie Flowe


On the distant prairie, where the heather wild
In its quiet beauty lived and smiled,
Stands little cottage, and a creeping vine
Loves around its porch to twine;
In that peaceful dwelling was lovely child,
With her blue eyes beaming soft and mild,
And the wavY ringlets of her faxen hair
Floated in the summers air.
Fair as lily, joyous and free,
Light of that prairie home was she;
Every one who knew her felt the gentle powei
OF Rosalie, the Prairie Flower.
On the distant prairie, when the days were long
Tripping like fairy, sweet her song,
With the sunny blossoms and the birds at play,
Beautiful end bright as they;
+ When the twilight shadows gathered in the west
And the voice Of nature sunk to rest,
Like cherub kneeling seemed the lovely child,
With her gentle eyes so mild.
Fair as lily, joyous and free,
Light of that prairie home was she
Every one who knew her felt the gentle power
OF Rosalie, the Prairie Flower.
But the summer faded, and chilly blast
Der that happy cottage swept at last;
When the autumn song birds woke the dewy morn,
Little Prairie Flower was gone!
For the angels whispered softly IN her ear,
"Chiid, thy father calls thee, stay not here"
And they gently bore her, robed In spotess white,
To their blissfui home of light
Though we shall never look on her more,
Gone with the love and joy she bore,
Far away she's blooming, in fadeiess hover,
Sweet Rosalie, the Prairie Flower.

From the Lawrence Republican.

To THE EDIToRs OF THE REPUBLICAN,
Il am pleased to see your invitation &c
the farmers of Kanzas to communicate
their experience In regard to the production
of the various agricultural products of our
soil. If our weekly newspapers would de-
vote fair potrion of their columns to ag-
rieultural matters, it would greatly enhance
their value 10 the farmer, and, for the pres
ent at least, obviate the necessity of jour
mails more exclusively devoted TO agricul-
ture. cheerfully throw in my mite, and
being zone of the Oldest inhabitants" my
testimony, perhaps, may be worth some
thing.
Il is already known to many of your
readers that I came to this Territory at an
early day. l came here In missionary
capacity in the fall of 1916, and since that
time I have spent about seven years in the
Territory and during most of the time !
have been engaged In agricultural pursuits.
My attention is at present particularly turn
ed to the subject of Winter Wheat I
have laoored assiduously to dispel the fears
of the people, relative to the adaptation of
our soil and climate to the culture of wheat
as I knoaO that there is no ground for
such fears. I have never known a failure
in the wheat crop of Kanzas, and have
never known crop that was not tolerably
fair one. Though I have never seen bet
ter corn anywhere than I have seen raised
In Kanzas, yet | consider wheat a surer
crop than corn, for our winters are general
ly dry and moderate, so that wheat is not
killed out by either freezing or drowning
and in the spring it comes to perfection be-
fore the drought sets in.
will close this article by giving one or
two illustrations of wheat-raising in Kan
zas, from personal observation In the fall
of 1847, l had something to do in renting
out an orphan Indian farm, near Westport.
There was field which had been broken
up, and perhaps cultivated once or twice
it then laid idle for several years, and
again became covered with turf 1t was
broken up and sown to wheat. I helped to
thresh the crop, which averaged 80 bushels
to the acre, of the best quality of grain
At the same time and place, helped to
thresh crop of IT'S acres at the Shawnee
Methodist Mission, (of Bogus Legislature
notoriety.) This was raised on land which
had been cultivated for number of years,
on the Western plan of hard culture, with
out manure. It averaged 15! bushels to
the acre.
I have few acres now growing on some
of the highest ground in Kanzas, and l
have seldom seen wheat look better for the
season I have scarcely seen poor piece
of wheat this winter.
Yours,
RICHARD DMENDENHALL.

Marriage.

| Nature never did betray the soul that low
| ed her, and nature tells men and women to
marry. Just as the young man is entering
upou life-just as he comes to independence
and mans estate-iust the crisis of his be-
ing, when it is to be seen whether he decides
with the good, and the great and the true,
or whether he sink aud be lost forever-mat-
rimony gives him ballast and right impulse.
War with nature, and she takes sure revenge
Tell young man not to have an attachment
that is virtuous, and he will have one that
! is vicious. Virtuous love, the honest love
of man for the woman he is about to marry, is
all anchor for his heart; something pure and
beautiful for which to labor and live. And
the woman, what pure light it sheds upon
her path; it makes life for her no day dream
no idle hour, no painful shadow, no passing
show, but something real, earnest, worthy of
heart and head. But most of us are cow
ards, and dare not think SO; we lack grace;
we are of little faith; our inward eve is dim
and dark. The modern young lady must
marry in style; the modern young gentle
man must marry fortune. But in the
meanwhile the girl grows an old maid, and
the youth takes chambers-ogles at the nur-
sery maids, and becomes man about town,
man whom it is dangerous to ask into
house, for his business is intrigue. The
world might have had a happy. couple; in
stead, it gets woman, fretful, a plague to
all around her. He becomes sceptic in all
virtue; a corrupter of the youth of both
sexes, curse in whatever domestic circle
he may penetrate. Even worse may result.
She may be deceived, and die of a broken
heart. emay rush from one folly to anoth
er, associate only with the vicious and the
depraved, bring disgrace and sorrow upon
himself and all around him, and sink into
an early grave.
Our great cities show what become of men
and women who do not marry. Worldly
fathers and mothers advise not to marry till
they can support wife; and the boys wick
edly expend double the amount in bad COM
pany Hence it is all wise men (like Frank
linz advocate early marriages; and that all
our great men, with rare exceptions, have
been men who married young. Wordsworth
had only one hundred pounds year when he
first married. Lord Eldon was so poor that
he had to go to Clare market, London, to
buy sprats for supper. Coleridge and South
ey, we can't find had any income at all when
they got married. Wequestion, atany time,
whether Luther had more than fifty pounds
year. We blast humanity in its very
dawn. Fathers, you say you teach your
sons prudence-you do nothing of the kind;
your world-wise and clever son is already
ruined for life. You will find him at the
faro tables and free love circles Your
wretchedly worldly wisdom taught him to
avoid the snare of marrying youpg,-and

tone of the press, the Constitution recently

member of the Convention, who, before his
election, was pledged to favor the submission
of the Constitution to the people,
