Over the rolling prairies.
And down by the rivers side,
l. swelling and surgiIg over,
A restless human tide
That Gibbs and flows a. the ocean
SEells aud reoedes again.
With the hopes and fears and feelings
OF band Of stalwart men.
IT'S not for milder sunlight.
20 the western wiidS they came.
And thev are not daring hunters,
Win the bison for their game
But they seek in the glowing waters,
And search in the eHrth's damp mould,
With their hopes and e9ger striving,
For the GOld-the shining Gold.
Over the rolling prairie,
The red deer has bounded far,
And the beasts from their dens are startled
Where the steps If the white man are,
For the secret baunis Of nature,
His busy hand inYades,
And the wild beasts hear his footsteps,
In the forests deepest shades.
And sounds are borne by the echte1,
Of many an eager word
And the wOOdman's axe. and the laugh.e.
For only the rowing Jed m1l.
HIS reigned where the hunters bold,
II their strength and pride are seeking
For the GOld-the shining Gold.
Or, little the savage chieftain,
Who roamed in his native pride,
Over the lofty mountain.
And down b. the rivers side
Hath dreamed that his feet were trcAding
On treasures yet untold.
And the very waves were sparkling,
With the yellow sands Of Gold.
Then eheerily on brave hunters!
For surely il Is meet
That man should gather the treasures,
That are hidden at his feet.
Then search in the earth's deep cavern.
Where heavy and hard and cold,
Lie with its countless riches.
The GUld-the shining Gold.
And soon on the distant prairies,
Ere many years are past.
Where now the hurrying footsteps,
OF hundreds are fhronging fast
We may see fair CT ties rising,
And homes for the brave and fair,
And the Con Of peace and plenty,
Will smile on the jewellers there.
Then cheerily on, brave hunters!
And think Of the tender prayer
Of the WIFE, the MOTHER, the SISTER,
Who are longing the toll to share.
Then hast to the sparkling waters.
Whose hurrying waves have rolled
For years Der the countless tres 8 Ires,

sous ,cribbler for the St. Louis Repub-
Lean, writing from this upper country, un-
40, date of the 18th inst, says truthfully-
uTbers is o great abundance Of corn for
sale in tina. part of Iowa bordering on the
Missouri, and is selling at IS cents, in sacks,
per bushel." A little further on, he says
there is but little improvement going on in
any of the towns above St. Joscph-that
Speculation upon a r-castle principles runs
high" and that their exports, cannot DC
anything but fever and ague for a long time
to come-proftable investment, l should
guess. If you don'tbelieve, just 90 and see
it, A very valuable correspondent, truly!
TIA great abundance Of corn for SALE" and
ye. nothing to export" but fever and ague!'
More contradictory statements never came
from a Pixies Peaker. The Republican
should send that co,re 'pondent to Cherry
Greek, at once, or place him on haif-ratious
of "sod.corn."

Ir. Bright on fhe House OF LORDS.

The Quaker Commouer, John Bright, is
awakening a glorious agitation IN England
for popular rights, in opposition to elan inter
es,s. bv his public addresses in the leading
cities and towns Of the kingdom. He has re-
csived so many invitations TO address public
NEE ioers, on the question of Parliament tary
Reform, that he has been obliged 70 announce
the necessity Of outstanding his strength for
the approaching session Of Parliament. when
his reform measure will be introduced. In
his recent speech in Edinburgh, he did not
spare the aristocracy; and the following pas
sage in his speech has incensed the Ire OF the
aristocrat" organs:
There are, he said in the House of Lords,
about I36 Peers: Of them, 30 are Peers call
ed spiritual-l loud cheers, )-and there are
upwards Of 400 that for tie sake Of dIs'loc-
ton, | must say are not in tie least spiritual.
Loud cheers shoul ike any man TO
answer this question: Does the House OF
Lords represent he land and the tenantry
upon the land? or does ii only represent the
personal interests of the individuals Of which
that House IS composed? If it be admit d
that not by election. but originally by nomi-
nation OF the Crown, and by hereditary de-
scent from that nomination, the Lords repre-
sent throughout territorial interests iu the Up
son to advocate such a state Of thiugs, and il
may long be tolerated in this country. Bat
il any man says that these 400 Peers repre-
sent the personal or individual interests oaly
Of those 400 Peers and their families, then
he places the existence Of that Hose upon a
most precarious foundation, for he says =
Here are 400 men, chosen 10: even by the
Crown, but sitting by right Of descent; aud
there are 30 600. 900 of the people OF the
Unitel Kingdom yet these l0D individuals
dare set themselves against the viii Of the
3oQooo0o, rejecting year after year, as they
have lone, benefccnt and excellent meas
ures, passed by the represeni iatives Of the
people loud cheers) The 'enerable
monarchy Of England, be it remembers !,
pre- ends to no such power. The House Of
Commons can control the Crown. because il
can control the supplies. (tHear, hear" and
loud cheers.) The Crown has scarcely re-
j-etei measure passed by both II uses for
the last 80 years; but the Commous have
10 such control over the House or Peers
You cannot stop the supplies against them.
