School Libraries.

The Board of Education recently en-
acted that any Board of Directors
shall have the power to purchase u
District Library with the temporary
school funds, which shall have been
apportioned to their district by the
County Judge. The Secretary OF
each district is to act as librarian for
the purchase of books, and perform
other duties under the direction of the
township board. As it is a matter Of
great consequence to have a good Ii
brary, we give 4 short list Of what
are regarded as the most standard
works in the department Of history,
biography, travels, poetry, agricul-
turc, Nc, together with the retail
price of the same. Who could csti-
mate the future benefit that would ac.
crue from the study Of such Il list OF
books, 10y the young and old, in every
school district in Iowa? We apprc.
hcnd it would be impossible. There.
fore, we cannot refrain from urging
upon district boards to procure libra
ries as soon as possible, and let THEN
collections embrace the very best
works in our Waterloo
Register.
We are pleased to learn that a
movement is on foot in this town
among our school officers, to procure
a library as fast as the funds will ad
NIT of it, and that beginning is tc
be made at once.

Late in the day, about two weeks
after this, Paul Graham might have
been seen hurrying along through
street after street, apparently uncon-
sclous of his course, and reckless of
personagcs on the pavements, or dan
gers at the crossings. His air was
naughty and fierce, making people to
step aside unconsciously as he APP
preached. With his hairso long about
his neck, his broad collar, and flash
ing eyes, he was taken by some for a
mad poet, or madder spiritualist, an
artist bent on suicide, or u discarded
lover Of the Byron sort.
\ discarded lover he was. After
waiting fortnight in the utmost i'm
patience for the chance, he had made
an egregious simpleton of himself, by
proposing to Miss Mordaunt. OF
course she rejected him. He had
thought that his God-given genius had
constituted him her equal !; and she
had tlattercd his vanity until the offer
of his heart and hand We're made with
scarcely more passion than pride and
assurance. He was so like an Apollo
in his youthful pride and BEAUTY, that
Miss Mordaunt almost hcsitated, her
heart throbbing a beat faster, before
she concluded to resign him but she
was as ambitious as she was devoid
of conscience and SO, very gently,
and in very lady-like manner, as
was her custom, she rejected him.
Despite of the sweet morsels in which
she rolled up this bitter pill, Paul did
not swallow it calmly, as many of her
suitors had done. He saw, in a mo,
ment, that he had been duped anger
struggled with his love. At the mo
ment he regarded her as immeasura
bly, his inferior, in having been guilty
Of SO much duplicity, and being SO
vain and cold OF heart, and he poured
forth such trade of scorn and con-
tempt, that the beauty was fairly sub
dued.
All at once the remembrance of his
unfaithfulness to Ellen rushed over
him. taking the wind out OF the sails
of his contempt, tying his tongue, and

painter. Sitting Tor her portrait would

The propensity of the people of
Southern Kansas to resort to force to
redress their grievances is partially
explained by the natural features of
the country, which offer great securi-
ties against capture. That section OF
the territory is thus described by a re-
cent Kansas letter, in speaking of the
fight at present going on there be-
tween the United States Marshal with
a posse of Missourians, and the Free
State men:
"The country is densely timbered,
penetrated with tortuous streams, and
SCARED with rocky ravines and i'm
penetrable businesses, which are the
strong-holds of a guerilla warfare.
On such field as this, against foe
mounted on the flectest horses and
armed with Sharpe's rifles, regularly
constituted force can make but little
impression. One day concentrated,
and the next scattered over scores OF
leagues, concealed in caves or in the
cabins of their friends, shooting with
unerring aim from the screen of trees,
now in front and now in the rear, and
anon nowhere, there is no hope OF
overcoming them, and they boldly dc,
clare their intention to conquer trea-
ty."

Thhe character Of the young men
Of community depends much on that
of the young women. If the latter
are cultivated, intelligent, and accom-
plished, the young men will feel the
requirement that they themselves
should be upright, and gentlemanly,
and refined But if their female friends
are frivolous and silly, the young men
will be found dissipated and worth
less.

PACITC RALRoADs.-If the selection
Of a Paciticc Pailroad route was left
to an unbiased engineer, he could
make but one choice. He would be-
gin at Fort Benton on the Missouri
river, to which the steamboats, can
come up from New Orleans. From
thence he could run his easy grades
westward through luxuriant meadows
and over rolling prairics. He could
cut his ties from adjoining forests, dig
his iron rails from neighboring mines,
find coal under his feet, and water in
the streams on his right and on his
left, every mile of the way. lie could
follow the track of the buffalo, (whom
Colonel Benton pronounced an intel.
ligent and sagacious engineer, always
choosing the best country and the
easiest route,') herds Of whom abound
lie would thus avoid the sandy des.
crts of Utah and the perpetual SHOWS
of the Sierra Nevada. He would
cross the Rocky Mountains at Cadotta
Pass, the lowest in the chain. lie
would stop at Paloose river, where he
again could take steamboat down to
the Pacific Ocean. He could tell you
that this railroad would be in all but
$50 miles long, or shorter than from
New York to Buffalo, and less ex,
pensive.
But the route SO clearly indicated
by nature will not answer at Wash
ington. 1t happens to be Northern
route. Senator lverson, &c, will Sc
cede from the Union if it is chosen
We must build roundabout Southern
road two thousand miles longer, and
millions of dollars more costly, over
sand plains without wood, water OF
coal, and which, when built, will not
be, as this would, selfsustaining.

WM, b. CONWAY,
Secretary Of the Territory
This communication was referred to
a committee, who reported the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted
Rcya'reI, That the seal submitted to the
Council by the Secretary of the Territory be
adopted 10y the Council as the - Great Seal of
the Territory Of Iowa"
The seal is one inch and fivc-einhths
IN diameter, and the word Great is
not upon the sea notwithstanding the
Honorable Secretary in his commnni-
cation, and the Council in their rcsOlu-
ton, have it preliXed.
The devices upon the seals for the
" Supreme Court" "District Courts"
Commissioners COurt,' and PRO
bate Courts were all designed by the
Honorable Secretary, and were all as
appropriate in their several spheres
as that of the seal of the Territory.
This latter seal was never adopted by
the Legislative Assembly, but by the
Legislative Council, the higher branch
thereof, which held their sessions in
the lower or basement story Of old
Zion Church, in Burlington.
There are some "reminiscences con-
ncctcd with the early history Of this
seal which must omit, as well as the
history Of the seal of the State, which
latter | will continue in another pa
per. L. ). PARNIN.
We will add, that those who may
desire to procure a cut of the genuine
State Seal had better delay doing 50
for the present, as Gov. Lowe assured
us that he was about to have new
and different design for a State Seal
engraved, and will present it to the
next Legislature for adoption.
