My wife and my children around me:
Tho school house along by the wood;
My plough, spade and harrow beside me,
Assure nae both comfort and food.
But, Alas! my sweet home is not paid fer;
But the nations the one that owe:
While I pay it in tanning the wildwood,
It ns'er will consign me to woe.
But, what is this paper before me!

Buchanan has ordered the Land Sales,
And houseless and homeless we'll DO!
The times are hard as milestone.
But Democracy's hardest Of all

And pushes ''the Poor to tho wall!"
No money we've got but Chis.go,
O'tonna, Glencoe and Fillmore;
But Graham, the Land selling Jobber,
Wants the votes not the notes of the Poor?
IT'S only the gold, that will do him;
But Dunbar and Sibley' finance,
Have hurried our State into ruin,
And left us to '.pay for the dance!"
o, iftAe Republican party,
Had Congress under its will,
The people would long ere this moment
Rejoice in good Homestead Bill!
Free Home for the homeless would crowd Us
With thousands and thousands ofmen;
Minnesota would blossom with harvests
The coed times Of old come again!

For the st. Cloud Democrat.

To write or not to write; that's the
Question. Not to write, would indicate
that we were all dead or mapping. Not
SO, we have been too busy to scribble. To
write then; Wha. shall wo say? 10 say
that the crops are good, and that an album
dant harvest repays the toll of the hus-
bandman, is only to reiterate what the
papers are full Of, aud is in everybody's
mouth.
Politics are stale. Too much is said,
and too little done. Let every Elector
observe the Bible Rule for voting. Exo-
dus 18, 81, "Moreover, thou shalt provide
out of all the people able men, such as
tear God, men Of truth, hating coretous-
ness" End. Sam, %, 3, ole that rulcth
over men, must be first ruling in the fear
of God;" were these rules strictly adhered
to, then those other passages of sacred
writ might find fulfllment, viz: Gre
member those in bonds, as being bound
with them;' "Break every yoke and let
the oppressed everywhere go Free" Love
thy neighbor as thysclf;" "Do unto Others
as ye would have others do to you. " Then
would Slavery, Intemperance, and a host
Of their attendant evils be done away; and
Righteousness would exalt our nation.
I suppose nearly all have heard Of the
Land Sales; and are indignant at such n.y.
pocrisy, treachery and robbery on the part
king James and his abettors. Were the
sales general, the people would rise en-
masse and resist all Of Jimmy's officials
and forces; for it would be only in self de-
fence and therefore justiGable: Theresult

only in State, but National government,
such is the ''vox populi." Meanwhile
what shall those do, who in few weeks
must lose their farms, and the labor Of
years, midst the privations and hardships
Of frontier life? My advice is, rather than
mortgage at spectators ruinous rates, re-
move all personal property and seek . new
home, as near and good as possible, and
! then 20 to work in earnest and send such
