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' Yallies OF gold
And life is treasure sublime;
,Tis the land of our God, it's the home Of tho soul
Where ages Of splendour cternally roll
Where the way weary traveller reaches his goal,
On the evergreen Mountains Of Life.
Our gaze cannot soar to that beautiful land,
But our visions have told Of its blss,
And our souls by the gale from its gardens are
fannod
When ne faint in the desert of this;
And we sometimes have lunsed for it, holy repose
When our spirits were torn with temptation and
woes,
And we have drank from the tide of the rirer that
flows
From the evergreen Mountains Of Life.
0 the stars neverfrcad the blue heavens at night
But we think whers the ransomed have trod-
And the day never smiles from his palace of light,
But we feel the bright smiles Of our Goo
re arc travelling homeward, thro changes, and
gloom,
To Kingdom where pleasures increasingly bloom
"Aud our guide is the glory that shines thro' the
tomb
From the evergreen Mountains of Life.

Kitty Rider.

Kneeling by the stream I saw
Kate, the farmers daug liter,
Drinking-in her rosy palm
Dipping up the water.
She had thrown her hat aside,
Bare her arms and shoulder;
Each uncencious charm displayed
Made my love the bolder.
So I slowly, tenderly,
Wont and knelt beside her
Drank with her from cut the stream
Flushing Kitty Ryder!
And said" The poets think
Life is like river;
Shul we not its waters drink,
Always, love, together"
Many years have passed by US,
Like the flowing water,
But I drink lifr's stream to-day,
With the farmers daughter.

Esy' U. A. Woodbury. has at length
pcen heard FROM He has written letter
TO his wife, in which he states that, he is
at Manassas, and is well treated, and IN
good health. He expected to be taken
the next day, to Richmond, with other
prisoners of war. He says that he could
have his liberty, if he would only swear
not to fight against the rebels, any more ;
but that he says he will not do. We GER
tainly admire his spunk, and hope all
vermonters who may chance to be placed
in his position will initiate his example.
Mr. Woodbury. might, with some show Of
consistency, make the necessary promise,
having but one hand with which to fight
the enemies of his country, and that his
left, but he does not choose to humor them
by doing any such thing.

The Present Season in Kansas.

AS if to compensate somewhat for the
severe trials through which Our people
were called upon to pass during $50, God,
this year, is showcring his blessings up
on us with most benefcent and abund-
ant hand In the memory of the " old
est" inhabitant," nothing has ever been
seen in Kansas or out of it, equal to the
present season.
The weather has been delightful in the
extreme. Pleasant days, cool nights, gen.
tie winds unattended by storms or hur-
ricanes, and bright sunshine only Interrupt
ted by sufficient rains to cause vegetation
of all kinds to produce most abundantly'
And what vegetation Who ever saw the
like? The weeds, the grass the forests !!
Garden truck of every description from
earliest to the latest. Lettuce, radishes,
onions, peas, beans. squash, cucumbers,
beets, cabbage, tomatoes, turnips and the
thousand other varieties of the lighter
edibles have been produced in the greatest
profusion. In the field culture the same
abundant return rewards the labors of the
husbandman. The wheat, large yield,
has all been cut and stacked and is being
rapidly thrashed and stored. Our corn
fields are like young forests. and the prom
Use is for greater yield than has ever be-
fore even in Kansas, been obtained. A
Jews days more, and our melons as large
as pumpkins, and the pumpkins, as large
as barrels, will speak for themselves.
Our people all realize that the high opin-
ion they have hitherto placed upon the
productiveness of Kansas is being fully
vindicated Notwithstanding the drouth Of
last year. They look upon that as o
calamity which may--nay, does befall
every country in the course ola generation.
Kansas has had her calamity, and in our
impoverished condition it fell with crush
ing weight upon the energies ofour people,
the like of which she will not be called
upon to endure for generation, perhaps
century, to come. Our lot has been
cast in goodly heritage: let us thank
God and take courage-71peka State
