To our Soldiers.

We learn from Washington, where
General Hancock has his headquarters.
that enlistments in the new First Vet
eran Army Corps are progressing favor
ably. The order of the War Depart
ment for the organization of the corps
provided that it should consist Of TWEEN.
ty thousand men, who had already
served honorably not less than two
years, and that enlistments should
commence on the lst Of December, and
continue until the first day OF January
next It viii thus be seen that, to be
up to time, enlistmen.s should average
about six hundred and fifty men per
day. We should think that, taking
the whole country over, and consider
ing the large number cf men there are
of the class referred to, and the great
Inducements offered, and the short
term of service required, that this
number might easily be reached
There Is q liberal bounty of three hun
dred dollars to the volunteer, payable
on being mustered in, and only one
year of service.
We are convinced that the thousands
Of old soldiers throughout the land,
who still desire TO take hand in de-
livering the last blow to the great re-
bslIion, and who still hope to see the
Union restored and the flag under
which they have fought triumph, only
need that the subject be brought be-
fore them, to induce them to join the

NEW SEREES-NO. 529.

There are many thousand teams going in the
spring from Omaha and other points on the
Missouri River. They will all go up The Platte
River and hence to the mines. There will be
perfect stampede of teams and people to that
region in the spring. Large trains are now
being fitted out at Omaha to start the first of
next April.
sec there is talk of opening route from.
Fort Abercrombie to Bannock City, Idaho Ter
ritory, with view to establishing line of
military posts on it. I would ask why 90 800
miles out of the way-start from Fort Ridgley
OF Mankato-make this new route to Fort
Thompson, prominent part of the line, and
then extend line of posts west from these up
the valley of the Cheyenne River south of the
Black Hills and through to Bannock City and
you have q route at once the shortest and most
direct from st. Paul there can be found, and I
have every reason to believe that it will ere
long be the most practical route for all men to
reach the gold fields of Idaho.
If were in condition to try this route
would do it next summer. and thus prove to
this Slate that St. Paul is nearer Bannock City
than any other city east of the Missouri River.
Respectfully, PHILANDER.

BEAUTIFUL SNOW.o
STA,

Oh. the snow, the beautiful snow
Filling the sky and earth below;
Over the hon e-tops, over the street,
Over the heads of the people you meet,
Dancing
Flirting
skinming along:
Beautiful snow. it can do no wrong,
Flying to kiss a fair lady cheek.
ChnGing to lips in froicksome freak
Beautiful snow from the heaven above,
Pure as an angel, gentle as love.
Oh the snew, the beautiful snow
How the flakes gather and laugh as they 60.
Whirng about i'll its maddenng fun,
1t plays in its glee with every one,
Chasing,
Laughing,
Hurryng by:
1t lights on the face and it sparkles the eye!
And even the dogs, with a bark and a bound,
Snap at the crystals hat eddy around
The town is alive and its heart in a glow.
To welcome the coming OF beautiful snow.
How wildly the crowd goes swaying along,
Ilailing each other with bumor and song.
How the gay sledg s like meteors, flash by,
Bright for he moment, then lost to the eye
Ringing,
Swinging.
Dashing they 60,
Over the crust of the beautiful snow;
Snow pure when it falls from the sky,
10 be tramp ed in mud by the crowd rushing by
To be trampld and tracked by the thousands of feet
Till it blends with the filth in the horrible street.
Once was as pure as the srow-but fell!
Fell ike the snow flakes. from Heaven to He'll.
Fell 10 be tamp,ed as filth of the street:
Fell to he scoffed at TO be spit and beat
Pleading.
Iursng.
Dreading 10 die,
Selling my soul to whoever would buy
Iea ing in shame for a nlOrsel of bread,
Hatiug the living aid fearing the dead;
Mercrnl God! have fallen so low?
And yet was once like the beautiful SNOW.

4 HAPPY NEW YEAR,

From the Ladies' Repository
"Don't you think I've got a good hus-
band, Charlotte? He's the best man in
the world!"
The lady who made this interrogation
and answered it in the same breath. in so
inflated style that her relations with the
subject OF her remark OILY excused it, was
warm-heartea, impulsive little woman, a
wife OF half dozen years. She was sit
ting in the pleasant and tasteful, but bv no
means elegant parlor of her friend. Mrs.
Charlotte Dexter, and she had run n for
friendly call, two days after Christmas
The ladies had been schoolmates. and the
warm friendship of their girhood had been
continued and soldified after their mar
riage. Mrs Ripley and Mrs. Dexter had
crossed a little beyond their thrtietb
birthdays. Both were intelligent ant,
agreeable women. Both had married men
of worth and integrity, who by economy
and strict business habits were making
their way in the world, for neither had a
fortune TO commence with.
Now, it happened that Mrs. Dexter's
parlor communicated with her sitting
room, that the door between them was
ajar, and that just as Mrs. Ripley made
the remark whicn opens our story, Mr..
Dexter hung his coat on the hat rack aud
walked into the sitting room, and spread
his hands over the pleasant CRATE fire, for
they were blue With the cold Asmile,
with mixture of amusement and con-
tempt, went over his face, which was, on
the who.e, an agreeable one, as he heard
the remark q his wife's friend, which
exalted one man at the expense of all the
rest of his sex.
That sounds just like woman" he
muttered to himself "It's amusing to
hear EN- talk. They deal in such tre-
mendous adjectives!" But his cogitations
on this feminine infrmity were cut short
by the bright, earnest voice,
Now, you will think just as do" it

The spripgtide hour
Brings leaf and flower
With songs of life and love:
And many lay
Wears out the day
In many leafy grove.
Bird, flower and tree
Seem to agree
Their choicest gifts to bring;
But this poor heart
Bears not its part,
In it there is no spring.
Dews fall apace,
The dews of grace,
Upon the soul of sin,
And love divine
Delights to shine
Upon the waste within:
Yet, year by year,
Fruits flowers appear,
And birds their praises sing;
But this poor heart
Bears not its part
Its winter has no spring.
Lord, let thy love
Fresh from above,
Soft as the south wind blow,
Call forth its bloom,
Wake its perfume,
And bid its spices flow:
And when thy voice
Makes earth rejoice,
And the hills laugh and sing.
Lord make this heart
To bear its pcart,
And JON the praise of spring.
