r. B. Meeting at ottumwa.

Pursuant to call issued by tho Secre-
tary thereof, a meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Jefferson City and Neosho
Valley Railroad Company was held at
Ottumwa, on Wednesday, the 28th inst.
Mr.. Army, the President of the road, had
just returned from Washington, where he
had been on business connected with the
road, and where he had succeeded in Sc
curing from the Commissioner of the
General Land Office an order to the Land
Office at Lecompton to reserve two hun
dred feet in width through all lands here
after pre-empted, through which the line
of road should run. The bill giving to
the Territory of Kansas lands for the con-
struction of this road, failed to pass but
pledges of such character have been
made by the Senate and House Commit
tees as to render its passage at the next
session almost certain.
+ 4 committee, composed of Messrs. Ban
croft Cox and Gilpatriek, was appointed
to confer with the Jefferson City and Usage
Valley R. r. Company, and tender them
the cooperation of this Company in their
enterprise of building road to the Mis-
souri, line, to connect with the Neosho
Valley road. It was resolved that the
President and Treasurer should make an
effort to secure the subscription of three
hundred additional shares of stock to de-
fray the necessary expenses of survey. etc.
Nothing else of Importance was trans.
acted, and the Board adjourned to meet
again at Emporia, on the 30th of August.

Hard Timaa.

The Herald of Freedom lately contained
an article in regard to the extremely hard
times in Kansas. For this it has been
pounced upon by certain papers in the
Territory, which make it point to abuse
the Herald for every article that appears
in its columns, no matter upon what SUBJ
ject. They accuse BRowN of attempting,
by every means in his power, to injufe
Kansas, and keep emigrants away, and
assert that the times are not hard in the
Territory. when BRowE is wrong, he is
no better than any other man in the wrong;
but when he tells the truth that is plain
to every inhabitant of Kansas, why this
indiscriminate abuse of him, merely be-
cause he is BRowN? Times are hard in
every part of Kansas--in fact, it would
be extremely hard for them to be harder,
and there does not appear to be much
prospect of their getting easier soon.-
Money is very scarce, and no real estate
will bring half its value. Which is the
better way-to tell people the plain truth,
or to deceive them into coming here, and
give them worse opinion than ever, OF
Kansas? There is plenty Of room here,
and persons can make out to live; but il
any one comes with the expectation oi
finding flush times, he will be doomed to
disappointment.- White Cloud CHIEF.

that worthy attempted to take him in Or

Missouri, and succeeded in ferreting out
Matlock, who was one of the party, and
who is now In custody at Paris. We also
saw a man who had given Mr. Snyder his
information, and was forced to leave Mis-.

the accommodating and gentlemanIy agent
of this line, for information furnished US
concerning the operation of this company.
The Kansas Stage Company have the
contract for carrying the mail to all the
principal points throughout the Territory /;
and to accomplish this, they have in con-
slant service t,oo hundred and forty horses,
t,centy-seUen stages and hacks, and employ
one hundred men. They have invested in
this enterprise the sum of fifty thousand
dollars.
Their coaches leave the Planters House,
in this city, every morning. at O'Clock,
for Lawrence, Lecompton, Topeka and
Fort Riley, arriving at the latter place in
forty-eight hours from this city, which
time includes the stopping over night at
Topeka; affording passengers the oppor-
tunity of enjoying good nights rest
They also leave the same place at the
same hour for Iowa Point, and intermedi-
ate points, including Kickapoo, Atehison,
Troy, Doniphan, &c. &c, arriving al

lam veary. oh so weary
OF this eeaseiess round Of pain;
Brightest days are long and dTearyJ
Woo nights repose in vain.
Sights unreal, speetres gaunt,
Mock me, laugh, deride and haunt.
Shorn Of strength, I lie repining.
All ms energies are fed.
H1ue's dear star is dimly shining,
Courage, faith and will are dead.
Health, thou dearest earthly treasure.
Where thou'rt not. there's naught of pleasur
All the spring-t time, quickly flying
Half the glorious summer days
Gsrnered with the past are lying,
Yet no song Of grateful praise
For these gifts, M soul has qulckened-
Hope deferred my heart hath sickened.
Sabbath bells no longer, ringing,
Call me to the house Of pras er;
Words of peace from heaven spriug1ng,
Fall not on my listening ear;
Prayer and praise alike denied me,
Doubt, despair sit aye beside me.
Buds have burst and leaves unfolded.
Flowers perfumed the ambient air,
Birds their tiny nests have moulded,
Birdlings sang their rapture there:
Yet unweicGmed ell their sweetness,
Unc0nned all their words of meekness.
Rain-drops on the window patter,
Once loved their wild refrain;
Now, monotonous their clatter.
Lost is their glad music strain;
Clouds and sunshine, both are dreary,

Poetry.
Look Out when the Bell Rings.
By GEORGE W. BusGAY.


With lungs of fire and ribs Of steel.
With signing valve and groaning wheel,
With startling scream and giant stroke.
With showers of sparks and clouds of smoke,
The iron steed the train is bringing
80 look out while the bell is ringing!
A sheet Of fire illumes the track
When night rules in her tent OF black,
The laundering train comes then from US,
Like an express from Erebus;
Around the blazing cinder finging-
So lock out while the bell is ringing!
Ye gazing, gaping crowd. stand back!
Will ye be crushed or clear the track2
Now all aboard, now OF again.
The drones behind won't reach the train
They stumble where the switch Is swinging
So look outwhile the bell Is ringing
just so the engine Of Reform
Rolls on, through cloud and sun and Storm,
0'er sceptres, crowns, and kings and thrones
And brings US bread instead of stones!
lis freedoms song the mass are singing
So look out while the bell is ringing!
The slave will d9ff his yoke and chain;
The drunkard viii not drink again;
The soldier throws his sword away;
We see the dawn of that bright day;
Glad news the harnessed lightning's bringing
So look out while the bell is ringing!

r.n cern-rh. aAnsnde Honor.bl..

Last week we made mention of a strip
ling corn stalk thirteen feet high, which
had been left at our office, and which. we
were inclined to think could not be easily
beaten. Shortly after our paper was
issued, We were waited on by several of
our farmer friends who felt aggrieved at
the arsicle-declaring that to boast of a
thirteen foot stalk of corn was down
right insult to the whole Neosho Valley.
We, of course, expressed our willingness
to make the an,er1de honorable upon being
convinced of our error; and were invited
to visit any corn field within one mile of
Emporia, for proof that We had outrage
ously insulted the whole farming commu-
nifty. Of course we made the required
visit, vowing on our way thither that we
would appropriate" roasting ears -
enough to "pay expenses" But in this
we Were doomed to disappointment
When we came TO the field to which We
had been particularly directed, we found,
on going into it, that the ears grew en-
tirely above and out of our reach. The
corn averaged about fifteen feet in height.
We had no rule, and could not have
measured It If we had; and having nei-
ther ladder nor ak, We did not succeed in
getting, . single ear of corn to pay US for
our trouble; and worse than that, we got
lost in the field, and were several hours in
finding our way out We felt ike saying
that nobody eOgld beat that, until We were
shown . stalk of corn sixteen feet and oss
inch high, and informed that that was
scarcely an average stalk in the field from
which it was taken! We have concluded
not to say anything complimentary of any
vegetable specimens that may be shown
US in the future, for fear of offending some
man who raises larger ones; but we i0st
venture to say that We should Ike to %.
stalk of corn that would beat ths Last
one!

Rich Men.

There are rich poor men in this world,
and poor rich men, There are men Of large
estates and no hearts; and others OF large
hearts and no estates.
Better is faith, hope, and charity, that give
pcace of mind, correct action and enlarged
views. than all the gold of California.
The other day Ebenezsr Frances died
Possessed of the largest property of any man
ever deceased in New England, it is said.-
His estate is estimated as high as six million
dollars-a sum altogether beyond the calcu-
la,ion Of common minds.
We can understand the figure, but can
hardly see how the addition Of a hundred
Thousand, or subtraction Of as much, ON
half that sum, would make a person feel
richer or poorer; and if not felt, then 1t IS
beyond his realizing sense. This Frances
was born poor, and lived poor. and diea
poor. with all his money. He had poor
mans existence heIe-a poor soul, anu
poor prospect for the future
II. when he was a boy, he couid nave
known what he would come to, oy the Plo-
cess he went through to accumulate 'na'
tate. he would have died at the very ioes Oh
it: and there can be few boys IN the country
now who would not be losers IN real man
hs,d and true happiness by accepting thai
wealth, il they had to take his HE ana CHA
racter with IT.
He was seldom known to do an act of cha
riiy, he never was willing to expend dol n
for public improvements, or humane ana be
nevolent operations.
1t is said that last winter he refused t.
subscribe fer the relief Of the poor, because
Of his own poverty, saying that when he hat
from million and half to two million dol
lars lying idle in the banks and earning no
thing, be could not afford to give. Now VIII
in tho world would feel SO poor as that, TO
four or six million dollars.
