The State Seal of Kansas.

Sol Miller of the Kansas Chief, thus explains
to Enquirer" the adoption of their State Seal
The following is a correct history of the motto
of the Kansas State Seal, and its meaning
.iAd Astra per Aspsra" WhenitW was determined
to procure seal, apremium was offered to theper-
son who should furnish the best design A great
many specimens were sent in-among them, was
one from a skillful Italian designer and engraver
in New York, named Adolph Astra. The design
was accompanied by note from the engraYer
written by by his clerk and bookkeeper
Andrea Spers. The note concluded thus
thrust the design will prove acceptable; in
which case would if desired, propose anapprO-
pirate motto AD. AsTRA,
Per A SPERA."
The committee were so delighted with the de-
sign, which was that of our present State Seal,
that they Immediately adopted it. TheymistoOk
the signature to the note for a motto, and also
adopted that, thinking it had reference to the
manner in which the buffaloes on the seal threw
their tials.

TASTE OF THE HEATHEN.-The number ofchris-
tian missionaries sent out among the heather
this year, will exceed, we are told, the number
for many years past. The king of Siam has
promised not to eat any more missionaries, and
a % little cold missionary" is no longer to be a
standing luxury, as lunch, among cannibal
islands generally Perhaps this encouraging
fact may account for the increased effort to evan
gelise the benighted creatures of the Orient
Martydom is considered honorable, in the alb
stract; but practical martyrdOmis nOta desirable
thing among the best of men, and when
that martyrdom is contemplated in the light Of
making q bonnie 6Ouehe of ones self for an unciY-

der at the picture. "Boiled missionary" "fried

such bill Of fare is sufficient to make any mis-

I Didn't Know What it Meant


He gave me knife one day at school,
FOur-bladed the handle of pearl,
And great black words on the wrapper said
"For. the darlingest little girl"
l was gladl Oh yes, the crimson blood
To my young cheeks came andl went,
And my heart thumped wondsrously Pit-A-pAs,
But.I didn't know what it meant.
One night he said must jump on his Ilsd,
For the snow was falling fast;
was half afraid but he coaxed and coaxed,
And got me on at last.
Laughing and chattsriug in merry glse,
To my home his course he bent;
Ny sisters looked at each other and smiled
But l didn't know what it meant.
The years past on, and they touched his eyes
With a shadow of deeper blue,
They gave his foru a manler grace,
To his cheeks a sWarthier hue.
We stood by the dreamily rippling brook,
When the day was almost spent
His whispers were soft As the lullaby,
And now know what he meant
