LAYING DOWN THE KINGDOM,

BY J.. X. ORION.
So Thouas is going to get married,
To bring nome a bride, q young wife.
He has said il himself, aud he never
Deceived or joked me in his life.
When William got married il gave me
No thought Of regret or surprise;
For the boy seemed just made for a woman
To live in the light of her eyes.
And when Clara was wed to the Southron-
Though Clara, my daughter, was dear-
And removed to the fair Rappahannock,
1t cost but q sigh and q tear.
But Thomas, my staff and my eldest,
Seemed never to care for the girls.
So proud, like the oak, to surrender
At last to soft eyes and soft curls
Since John died-six years ago Christmas
Our T~homas-he's always the same
With more than the strength of his father
Has stayed up the house and the name.
I never once thought he could marry,
% klnBly, 81 uEm, anu 80 klnu-
All me! tears will come they are needed
For my old eyes, indeed, must be blind.
He tells me Pm getting so aged,
need more repose, more fresh air
So a daughter he'll bring me to tighten
My burthen of labor and care.
All me! He may think so be brings me
A mistress, it must b., instead.
The soeptre must pass to another,
And / to my grave, or my bed. -
But, holdl 1t is we'll. my father.
Help me to. subdue my proud heart.
I have rsigned like a queen I; but tits over;
And smother Of right takes the port.
I yield her my empire for ever
Aud. Thomas. I'll love!aH that's thine.
Thy chosen shall have all her honors,
As I've always had all Of mine,
Come hither, my little man, Tommy.
Come hither, my rosebud, my janet
You are Gran imama's darlings and treasurer
Her pearls hung about her again.
Not Papa, Uncle Will, nor Aunt Clara
So grand and so sweet when she comes
Ever gave me one-half Of the pleasure
OF these little sproatings Of Toms.
They have kisses and cheer ia the morning;
They have kisses and cheer all day long
Aud their sports. and their griefs SO alarming,
Which always are cured with a song.
, They know where to find a CONSIDER
As little birds fly to their nest,
They climb Grandma's knees for a cover,
: And always find peace on her breast.

RED RIVER STAGE.

l. The first Stage for the Red River of the
North left St. Cloud this morning, the
21st. The company send out two four
horse coaches and cannot take all the pass

road, and Notwithstanding the injury to the
road from the recent food and the contin-

to make forty miles day.
They take out party Of four English
gentlemen who arc going into the Hudson
Bay Country, some twelve hundred miles
beyond Fort Garry.
They report that company of British
engineers will be here within fortnight to
explore and survey, and report about the

crops must be immense, bread stuff will be
high; and again we say to our farmers.
Plant! Plant! 4 4 !.
1t is not too late, in this climate to put
in corn. The '.squaw" corn will proba-
bly, ripen yet. If not it will come to be
valuable food for cattle by letting it stand
out on tho stock until wanted. r. >. j.
The "Sugar corn" planted within two
weeks of this time will ripen readily, and
this is just the season for late potatoes,
beans and buckwheat. Let US have 800,
600 bushels of potatoes in this county for
export, and $4,000 Of buckwheat. Our
farmers can do it If they try. They can
add now to the coming crop some three OF
four hundred thousand bushels, and will
find it profitable to do so.

Several Questions.

Mr.. CRoFFUT says the officers Of cleo
ton, in St. Cloud, took his vote aud two
others, cast against the Loan Bill, out of
the ballot box, and did not count them
So the vote stood unanimous for the Loan.
He wants us now to ask them if they do
not wish that instead of three, they had
had three hundred negative votes. Well,
Messrs. Officers do you wish you. had had
three hundred votes against the Loan Bill?
Tell the truth, and shame the old gentle
man! Have the Democratic State officers
combined with the Rail Road companies, to
cheat the people on the Loan Bill? Is it
true that the Rail Road Directors have vi.
olated their charters; and that their bonds
are worthless? ......

special benefit; and to be able to answer

Rid Of the Carpenters.

lnat just Wnat we are lhOse noisy
fellows who came early in April and took
possession of our establishment, and who
from then until now have kept up sucl, a
clatter, pounding, hammerins, splitting,
saving, rafting and rumbling, whistling
and grumbling, singing and smoking to-
bacco all around us all day and every day,
tearing first one side out of the house and
then another, rafting the plaster down a.
round our ears, filling our cupboard with
lime dust and our editorial table with
chissels, saws, pincers, scribes, rules,
planes and what nots, raising a disturb
ance generally and pretending it was "all
for the BEST" They are actually gone
took their departure on the 18th In the
lull, which follows their din, we look a.
round to see what came of it; and find the
result Of the chaos is our beau ideal of a
house-every thing just as it ought to be ;
and we left with just such house as we
desire. ~: .-...
Mr.. CHARLES STANLEY is responsible
for the carpenter work; but not for the
plan or the external appearance which is
thought awkward We drew the plans
ourself; and he built to order, all but the
steps at the hall door. They are a con-
trfvance Of his own; snd he spent three
times as much labor on them as would
have made steps to suit the house, but
that is his loss; and we call them "SrAN-
LEY's Folly" The balance of the work
is we'll and neatly done, plain and substan-
tial- giving nne feeling of rest and CON-
fort.
The plastering and mason work was
done by FREEMAN & KENNEDY, and is a
good, honest job, done In the time and
manner promised, done pleasantly and
promptly.
We feel sincerely grateful to both them
and Mr.. STANLEY and his assistants for
giving US no unnecessary annoyance; and
for doing their work in way which shows
they I'D D~r interest in view as well as
their own.
We can cheerfully recommend both
parties to the patronage of those wanting
work done in their line, for between them
they have made us good, comfortable
houao IN reasonable terms

"A Romance.

Amongst the passengers who went out
in the first Red River stage, are two sisters,
who have travelled alone from their ma
tive home in Scotland; and are on their
way to Fort Garry at the junction of the
Red and Assiniboine Rivers; one hundred
miles above Stone Lake. They go to join
the betrothed Of the younger, who is an
agent Of the Hudson's Bay Company and
could not leave to go home for his l.dy
love.
At Fort Garry the marriage ceremony
is to be performed, when the bride and
groom, with the faithful, guardian sister
are to proceed to McKenzie's River.
The girls are glorious specimens of wo-
manhood, radiant with health, straight as
mountain pines, with rows of glittering
white teeth put in without aid from the
dentist, lips which require no carmin tint
ed sa)ve; and cheeks which need no rouge
and yet conveying no idea Of vulgar
health. Their whole manner is high bred
and lady like; while the younger, the pro-
spective bride is very beautiful, has the
bluest blue eyes we have ever seen, rich
masses of dark brown hair, hands and
brow fair as lily; and an iudednable air Of
graceful timidity. She is evidently un-
der the care of the more matronly sister,
who is taking her to her waiting husband.
The Hudson Bay Company would not
spare him from his post; but proposed to
bear all expenses Of having his bride
brought to him. So, the agent Of the Co.
at st. Paul took charge of them at that
point, and is sending them on under the
care of Captain BLAkELY, one of the pro-
prieto1s af the Stage line, who goes as es~
pecial escort. For the service of taking
them from St. Paul to Fort Garry the
Stage Company receive $500. They
carry tent, suitable attendants, and cv-
erything necessary to make a safe and
pleasant trip
The ladies bear the good old Scottish
name Of "SrIRLINa," which one of them
is soon to exchange for McTREv1s.

Col Mobiles Expedition .

Col. MOBILES and his party arrived here
on the 18th, camred out at Lake George
AID left OH the morning Of the Goth
There are twenty-five men, with full sup
ply o. hoses, mules and carts. They have
orc wagon which they expect to exchange
for carts at Selk;rk They have one sui
Ky to which is attached an Odometor, for
measuring the distance passed over This
is most ingenious little machine, some
thing larger than a silver dollar, ind COM
posed of two little cog wheels running side
by side; and SO contriyed that in the even
ing it will repost how many revolutions
the wheel has made during the day Let
it be known how many feet the wheel meas
ures around the rim and the number Of
miles is easily calculated. -.
Col. MOBILES has. four times crossed the
plains to California; and his business now
Is to explore this Northern Route to the
Pacific. He goes cut with all the requi-
sites for ascertai::ing and reporting upon
the practicability Of this route for a wagon or
railroad. ne.intends following up the sas-
katchewan river to the Rocky Mountains;
proceeding some two hundred miles along
the mountains, taking a survey as to the
best pass lie expects to. explore the
mountain passes on to the head waters Of
the Missouri; and making a detour, re-
turn by St. Cloud, while a portion Of his
party will proceed to Frazer River and
Puget Sound. -.
This is by far the most important cxpe-
dition which has crossed the Mississippi at
this point, since Gov. STEPHENS made his
celebrated survey in 81 This land then
belonged to the Red h1an: and there was
not even a Settlers claim cabin in what
is now Stearns County, or any Of the Coun.
ties North West Of it. III 4......% &
his report he notes that he camped on
the West side Of the Mississippi below
the mouth of the Sank. This is the pres

along the River the bank is thickly dotted
with mills, large warehouses, hotels and
handsomely finished dwellings,.

Eastern Frosss.

: Accouots continue to reach of frost,
or rather freeze, in many of the Eastern
States; and we are reluctantly led to be-
lieve that the damage is very serious. AS
editors generally get their news direct,
from farmers, on such occasions; and as
experience had taught us that they are not
very reliable reporters about injury tocrops,
generally thinking the. case much worse
than it is, we had hoped it was not so Sc
rious as. represented. But the Wolf has
actually come this time. ~. -. -. :
The Editor Of the "Mercer County De-
spatch" Pa. says: s~...s... xs... g<.>s:s. I.
A heavy frost covered the ground, and
ice was formed an eighth Of an inch in
thickness. Visiting our garden, we found
everything that the frost could injure
blighted and whitening, AMI as the sun
rose and shed its heat upon them, the corn,
potatoes, tomatoes, &c. wilted even with
the ground; grape vines became as dry
and crisp a. in November; and apples SO
large, we had been using them for week,
were as soft as a sponge. Our experience
is that Of our neighbors; and if there is
anything in the saying that "misery loves
company" we are favored in this respect.
Great as the loss is, in fruits and vege-
blcs, we wish We could stop here; but the
wheat and rye have also suffered materi-
ally; and although it is too soon yet to. as
certain the extent Of the damage, we have
learned enough to warrant the conclusion
that at least one half, and it may be three
fourths Of the wheat and rye in the coun-
~ are killed. The loss altogether it is, Of
course, impossible at this time to calculate
With any degree Of certainty; but we hest

Ferrying and Promising.

G. G. ANDREWS wrote to COL MOBILES
at St. Paul, on behalf Of the Upper Town
olks that they would bring his pa rty a
cross the Mississippi free Of charge.
The Colonel and his party arrived on
opposite bank on the 18th; but the Upper
Towns folks could not bring them over
Whereupon they applied to our enterpris-
ing townsmen, J. H. FOWLER, proprietor
of the Lower Town ferry, who calculated
he would try to get them over. This was
no slight undertaking, as the river is still
far above high water mark and the cur
rent furious; but he hired fourteen river
men at a cost of 81 APIECE and rowed the
party over with theirteams, tents and bag
gage. It required several trips, but they
passed without accident.
The Lower Town men hearing the offer
Mr.. ANDREWS had made and the failure
Of the Upper Ferry to fulfil it, stepped in
and paid the hire of MI. FowLERs extra
help.
The Upper Town folks acted bad in
failing to make good their unsolicited off
er; and we are truly glad that the Lower
Town men saved the honor Of the comm q
nifty by doing what the others were in all
honor bound to have done.
