SWAMP LAND PATENTs.-Our statement of the patents received in the Il Helena district hay ing been misunderstood and as others have been received since, we now state it in another form. All the lands in the Helena district that are embraced in the first list, or first offered fol sale, are patented to the State.

Song for Thinkers.


Take spade Of Perseverance,
Dig the fields Of Progress wide
Every rotten root OF faction
Hurry out, and cast aside /;
Every stubborn weed of Error
Every seed that hurts the soil
Tares, whose very growth is terror
Dig them cut, whate'er the toll
Give the stream Of Education
Broader channels. bolder force;
Hurl the stones Of Persecution
Out, wher'er they block its course;
Seek for strength in self.exertien;
Work, and still have faith to wait;
Close the crooked gate to fortune;
Make the road to honor straight.
Men are agents for the future
As they work so ages win
Either harvest of advancement,
Or the produce Of their sin
Follow ont true cultivation,
Widen Educations plan,
From the majesty OF nature,
Teach the majesty Of man
Take the spade Of perseverance,;
Dig the field OF progress wide;
Every bar to true instruction
Garry out and cast inside
Feed the plant whose fruit is wisdom,
Cleanse from crime the common sod,
SO that from the throne Of Heaven
1t may bear the glance Of God.
