A YOUNG fellow of our acquaintance,

with a pair of bouncing twins, attended
Rev. Mr.. IS church one Sunday even
ing. During the discourse the clergy
man looked right at our innocent friend,
and said in a tone of thrilling eloquence:
Young man, you have an important
responsibility thrust upon you"
The new-hedged dah-dah, supposing
that the preacher alluded to his peculiar
home event, considerably startled the
audience by replying: :" Yes, have two
of them.

Preface to his new volume of Poems.
Nay, blame not 1 might have spared
Your patience many trivial verse
Yet these my caller welcome shared,
So, let the better shield the worse.
And some might say, "Those ruder songs
Had freshness which tie new have LOST
To spring the opening leaf belongs,
The chestnut-burs await the frost"
When those 1 wrote, my locks we're brown,
When these write--ah, wel-a-dayl
The autumn thistle's silyery down
Is not the purple bloom of May!
Co little book, whose pages hold
Those garnered years in loving trust;
How long before your blue and gold
Shall fade and whiten in the dust2
o sexton of the allowed tomb,
Where souls in leathern cerements lie,
Tell me each living poets dooml
How long before his book shall diet
II matters little, soon or late,
A day, month, year, an age
I read oblivion in its date,
And FINS on its title page.
Before we sighed, our griefs are told;
Before we smiled our joys were sung;
And all our passions shaped Of old
In accents lost to mortal tongue.
In vain = fresher mould we seek
Can All the varied phrases tell
That Babels wandering children speak
How thrushes sing and lilacs smell?
Gagged in the poets lonely heart,
Love aSlstes unheard its sweetest tone;
The soul thai sings must dwell apart,
It's inward melodies unknown.
Deal gently with MS, We who read
Our largest hope is unfuhlled-
The promise still outruns the deed
The tower but not the spire, we build.
Our whitest pearl we never find;
Our ripest fruit we never reach;
The lowering moments of the mind
Drop half their petals ia our speech.
These are my blossoms if they
One streak Of morn or evenings glow,
Accept them; but to me more fair
The buds Of song that never blow.

Mr.. Daniel Hanson, of Monticello town

soldiers offhc 18th Regiment Of Illinois
Vols. Co. c., on the 18th Of Nov, who
were spending q few days with their
friends before bidding them a final fare
we'll for the land of Dixie. Soldiers from
Sonora, Montebello, and Wythe, were
present on the occasion. Citizens of the
northern part Of Montebello, likewise
wishing .osmanifest their patriotic feel
ings for their worthy soldiers, were assid-
nous in their exertions in preparing every
luxury for the table that heart could wish,
notwithstanding the contradictory reports
in regard to the supper the day previous,
by some evil minded persons, (Which I
hope was not from want Of patriotism or
respect to the soldiers). The house was
flied to overlooking. and the sumptuous
feast, already prepared, awaiting them
The bountiful table was spread from an
early hour until 12 O'clock, when, not
wishing to intruds upon the Sabbath,
soldiers and friends were obliged to take
the parting hand, and speat the gentle
goodbye.
Nov. dear soldiers, allow me to bid you

festation oftrue patriotism by your friends,
and could not coBseiepttously remain

turn to your friends.

ScHooLs.--While other Iowa towns

We are at the present time without this
boon to the common people. This is

that the public School House is occupied

abound to such an extent that the neces-
sity Of opening the other schools is not
seriously felt. Ii is presumed the COM
mon schools will be kept open long
enoush during the year to secure our
share OF the public fund.
The common school is one of the dis
tinguishing features of American insti-
tutlons. 1t has marked the American
character for general intelligence, and a
fitness for. and unyielding love OF Free
dom. While tho free schools Of our be-
