BY JULIUS WILCOX.
The moou was rising, calm, and clear and cold,
Hathing the raptured earth in pearly white,
ION regions which no mortal eyes behold,)

The sir, replete with beauty, did excite

Had ,gone,-the white-robed queen in her own
light
Reyelled and m,ved, while slumbrous Nature
In soft and dim repose, and dreamed her life away.

It's husled nir famed by no uneentle thing,
It's calmness such rs nothing could destroy,

The centre of the world il was,--as the wide ring
Of desert sands doth oasis-jewels hold,--
As blHckest darkness from itself may fling
Light-s sparkles,-so this land, which could enfold
Only the undetiled, ,-ffames Of no mortal mould.

Above it, it would shrink from dim in view,
Stray clouds were mirrored in it's depths,-and

Gov. BARRIERS Message.
To Tie Legislative Asssmbly Of DaAotah:

L" 'te i~eHfS'HiEtc -dSSSWoty D LdHotGH:
GENTLEMEN in accordance with long
established usage, I embrace this occasion
to lay before you the policy which shall
govern my administration, and to make
| such suggestions for your action as deem
! necessary for the safety and prosperity Of
the State. We have just passed through
an exciting political contest, which is
rendered important from the fact that the
people thereby have emerged from their
1ncohate state, and in accordance with the
great principle Of Popular Sovereignty
have taken upon themselves the rcspon*i-
bility Of self Government The State Of
Dakotah was embraced in the boundary OF
the Territory Of Minnesota, and, upon the
admission Of that State into the Union,
we were loft without tie benefit Or pro-
lection Of law. The recent Congress Of
the United States, decided in the appii-
cation Of the Acting Governor and Dele
gate OF Minnesota to continue in office
after the admission Of the Statc-that
when Alnnesot. Was admitted, the act by
which she became a Territory ceased to
apply to the limits ROW embraced by Da-
kotah therefore your efforts will first be
required to enact a code Of laws, suitable
to our anomalous position, which will the
better secure Justice, encourage ;I;sricul-
ture; commerce and manufacturers, and
promote emigration to our rich soil. |
would urge the passage OF t. law to prevent
the wholesale slaughter OF: the large herds
OF Butfalo THAT inhabit our extensive prai-
:ics, by bands Of hunters who annually
make incursions into our State from the
British possessions, to enrich themselves
with the hides and tallow Of those noble
animals; as their preservation must long
continue to be Il source of profit to the
citizens Of this State. I would also fur
ther recommend the passage of memo
rial to Congress, for /; liberal donation Of
land, for school purposes and for the en-
dowment Of {; State University. Thc i'm
portance Of establishing good schools
and rendering them accessible to all,
cannot be over estimated, as Education is
one Of the main pillars Of our free insti-
tutions, and a great safeguard to life and
property. I would also recommend a
memorial to Congress for grant Of land
to Dakotah; to aid in constructing a
system of railroads, such as will best
promote the settlement Of our land, and
the dcve]opcment Of our vast resources
especially would | urge a grant Of land
to construct a road across the central por~
tion Of the State from breckenridge, the
| terminus Of the Minnesota and the Pacific
Road, to Fort Union on the great bend
Of the Missouri, and thus furnish another
link in the great Pacific Railroad which
is soon destined to unite the two oceans
and receive tribute from tho commerce
Of Europe and Asia. Already has the
Government taken measures to put in
! operation another Pacific mail route from

for he gains nothing by being allowed to
spoil the comfort Of the whole circle. \
pencil, sheet of paper, few patterns
will sometimes keep him quiet by you Tor
an hour, While you are talking, or in cor
ner he may build ock-housc, annoying
nobody. If he does now and then disturb
you, and 1t costs you more thought and
care to regulate him there, balance which
is the greatest evil-to he disturbed by
him now, or when he is man.
Of all you can give your Charl rley,jiff YOU
are good man or woman, your presence
is the best and safest thing. God never
meant him to do without yoo any more
than chickens were meant 70 grow without
being brooded.
Then let him have some place in your
home where it shall be no sin to ha>:lmer
and pound, and make all the litter his
heart desires and his various schemes re-
quir@. Even it you can i'll afford the room
weigh we'll between that safe asylum and
one which, if denied, he may make for
himself in tho street.
Of all the devices for Charley which we
have, a few shelves which he may dignity
with the name Of a cabinet is one o.: the
best. He picks up shells and pebbles and
stones, all odds and ends, nothing comes
amiss; and if you give him pair Of scis-
sors, and little gun, there is no end OF
the labels he will paste On, and the hours
he may in aoccntly spend sorting and al
ranging
\ bottle Of liquid gum is an Invaluable
resource for various purposes, nor must
you mind though he varnisi his nose and
fingers and clothes, (Which he will do of
course, if he does nothing worse. A
cheap paint box, and some engrayings TO
color, is another; and if you will give him
some real paint and putty to paint and
putty his boats and cars, he is Il ma4c
lnan.
All these things make trouble-to be
sure they do-but Charley Is to make
trouble, that is the nature Of the institu-
tion; you arc only to choose between safe
and wholesome trouble, and that comes ut
last like whirlwind. God bless the lit
tie fellow, and send us all grace to know
what to do with him.

What is to be Done with
our. Charley?
BY HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.

Yes-that is the question:! The fact is
there seems to be no place in heaven a.
bove, or earth beneath, exactly safe and
suitable, except the bed While he is a.
sleep there, our souls have rest-we know
where he is and what he is about, and
sleep is gracious state; but then he
wakes up bright and early, and begins
footing, pounding, hammering, singing,
meddling, and asking questions; in short,
overturning the peace Of society generally
forsabout thirteen hours out OF every twen-
ty four. .
Everybody wants to know what to do
with him-everybody is quite sure that he
can't stay where they are. The cool,
can't have him in the kitchen, where lie
infests the pantry to get -four to make
paste for his kites, or melt lard in the
new sauce pan. IF he goes into the wood
shed, he is sure to pull the wood-pilc
down upon his head. If he be sent up
into the garnet, you think for while that
you have settled the problem, till you find
what a boundless field for activity is at
once opened, amid all the packages, boxes,
barrels and cast off rubbish there. Old
letters, newspapers, trunksof miscellaneous
contents, are all rumaged, and the very
reign Of, chaos and old night is instituted.
lie sees endless capacities in all, and he is
always hammeting something, or knocking
something apa's, saving, or planning, or
drawing boxes, and barrels in all direc-
tlons to build cities or lay railroad tracks,
till everybody's head aches quite down to
the lowest floor, and everybody declares
that Charley must be kept out Of the gar
ret ., ,..@-ss '
Then you send Charley to school, and
hope YOU are fairly rid Of him for few

The sky ! the sky the lofty sky!
Its varied sccnes-its bursting arch
Far, stretched 'bove aerial worlds on high
The spheres in which the planets march
Elicits praise, calls forth applause,
And bids cen admiration pause.
They bid her pause, nor dare attempt
A task 30 difficult o. vain,
As to define or Ger to paint
The wide extended starry plain
She mods assent, and crouching cries,
Thy smallest orb my power dchcs.
'Tis morn the towering God Of day
Alone assumes majestic reign,
And smiling, journeys on his way,
'~s@G'er7 mount and vale, .o'cr land an! main,
Dihusing --gladness on the earth
Defying man to tell his worth.
'Tis noon the dark and threatening clouds
In majesty do hover DER,
Forkd lightning streams along their shrouds
And battling thunuers crash and roar,
The dark collections hcavc and rend,
And heavenly tears to earth descend.
IT'S eve; the bright and silv'ry moon
Surrounded by the taperslight
OF thousand stars, dispels the gloom
And rolls aside the murky night;
These march in glory through their sphere
and admiration crouchcs here.
'Tis day or night-'tis dark Or light
IT'S morn or eve, or when you will,
Gay Phebus shines in plumagc bright,
Or flanders shake each cloud capped hill;

Beyond that sky q home for me"

We take pleasure in noticing the fact that arrange
ment has been effected and is in operation by which
tickets sold at the depot oil the Wilmington Man
chester Railroad, through from Wilmington to New Or
leans at $50 So very low ticket and the best that has
ever been formed between the two points, and which
ought to engage the attention of travellers between New
Orleans and New York. being decidedly preferable to
those formed by the Western interior lines, either by
way of the Illinois Central any other route on which
through ticket has been or can be formed The crtl
of this arrangement is largely due to Mr. Robinson the
Superintendent of the W. d Nj. r. R. who worked

The judiciary.

We took occasion TO remark, in recent article that
the dignity and independence of the Bench must be Sc
cured and to this end thought that the tenure should
be regarded even than the mode of election or APP
pointment There is another matter which ought to be
considered. We mean the compensation paid to Judg-
Cs. 1t ought to be sufficient to make it an object of
ambtion-Of professional ambtion-not to be regarded
as seat the bench is, mere temporary appoint
ment-a seppng-stone on the road to more desirable
situations AS the salary is, no lawyer in good
practice with family to support, can afford to be Il
judge, or to stay judge long The sacrifice is too
great, the compensation is too inadequate This is not
right just, is it good economy We are as fond
of economy most folks but not such false economy
farms out the charge OF lives fortunes or our
characters, to the lowest bidder
The Superior Court Judges ought not to receive less
than twenty hundred dollarswc would prefer three
thousand dollars year. The services of any gentleman
fit for the position worth that and the State ought
neither to cheat the proper out of the proper COM
pensaton, nor accept the improper one Oh any terms
We must confess that we prefer the improvement of
existing systems experience may prove the necessity
and indicate the mode to the adoption radical changes
which, however fertile in promises may be found very
barren OF good results upon trial
