The Mountains of Life.

There's land far away mid the stars, we are told
Where they know not the sorrows of Time
Where the pure waters wander thro' valleys of gold,
And life is a treasure sublime.
IT'S the land Of our God tits the home of our soul,
Where the ages in splendor eternally roll,
Where the way-weary traveller reaches his goal,
On the evergreen Mountains of Life.
Our gaze cannot soar to that beautiful land,
Bat our visions have told of its bliss,
And our souls by the gales from its gardens are
famed,
When we faint in the garden of this;
Aud We sometimes have longed Coz its holy repose,
When our spirits were torn with temptation and
woes,
And we've drunk from the tide of the river that
flows
Fsom the evergreen Mountains of Life.
Oh the stars never tread the blue heavens at nigh
But we think where the ransomed have trod-
And the day never smiles from his palace of light
But we feel the bright smile of our God.
We are travelling homeward through changes and
gloom.
To kingdom where pleasures increasingly bloom
And our guide is the glory that shines through The
tomb,
From the evergreen Mountains of Life.

OF We learn that some ten families
from Fulton county, Illinois, are about to
locate in Wea township, in this county.
They are all good farmers. men of capital,
and good citizens, and we are pleased to
see such elements among US. Last week
we had a call from several families from
Pennington, Fulton county, Illinois, who
found locations in the northern borders of
Linn. On Thursday we had call from
the representatives of six families from
Henry county, Illinois, and yesterday we
had visit from the repre- entatives of six
more from Bureau county, Illinois, all of
whom had prospected Northern Kansas,
and expressed decided preference for
the country in and around our county,
and were anxious to find homes among us.
The fact is, there are yet some good bar
gains in claims here, and those who wish
to avail themselves of them, have but TO
prospect this county little and they will
find some as good land as the sun shines
on, and choice timber in reasonable dis
tance.-SoutheiT Kansas Herald.
