that sanguine hope, faith, confidence, love
of the grand and beautiful, and keenly
alive to romance of nature and the finer
feelings of tho introverted life,-the Hon.
Mr.. Gordon falls into the very common
error of thinking mere rhyme, regard
less of bad measure and bad grammar, Is
poetry. He is one of those
= "Who aspire
To gain the name without its native fire,
Whose fancies all are much too dull 10 SOAR
But not too dull, alas to sadly bore!
Whose poor Pegasus looks up to the SKY,
with famished hope, but cannot mount and ny!
Who think q tale that jingles into rhyme,
A stale old maxim told the thousantn time.
A private grievance, or mere concert
Something quite poetical and neat.
The above apt quotation is from a Min
nesota poet, who, as he is not in the work,
it is not my province to mention in this
article.
TAOMAs YARDLY.
THOMAS YARDLY, Is one of the best, as
well as one of the sweetest as well as the
most imaginative poets in Mrs. ARNoLD's
book. He is properly placed in it between
the Hon. Mr.. GORDON, and the still more
Hon. IGNATIUs DoNNRILY. 1t is refresh
ing to turn from the common place rhymes
of the former, to such poems as YARDLEY
writes; and one needs just such mental
food to fortify the mind against the COM
ing fatigue Of DoNNELLY's stiff lines. There
is something attractive in Mr.. YARDLEY's
verses; he does not sweep the chords with
the lyric vigor of Mr.. J. @. A WooD,-
but there is more of the spiritual imagery
for which the lameated EDGAR A. Poe
was 80 celebrated. His poem entitled est.
Paul., is perhaps one of his finest efforts.
The poet speaks as one of his imaginative
turn of mind only could, as he gazed upon
the "terraced city" from some of her
surrounding hills on cold Minnesota win
ter morning. There are few of US who
have not stood on the brow Of St. Antho-
ny's Hill, or Dayton's Bluff, and watched
the thousands of wreathed columns OF
smoke climb heavenward on the clear still
air, while our fancy wanders away into a
thousand fantastic dreams, the essence OF
which Mr. YARDLEY has caught and pho
tographed, so to speak in his song:
1. Mathis are ringing from the Romish Mis-.
sion, - ..-t
And the faint music radiates afar
| Through the dim silence like those streams
elysian, s....-..1 e..

The Joint Stock Farmers ard Me-
chanic's Store enterprise, recently set on
foot in Nebraska City, by Mr.. ImhOf,
has proven, SO far, a complete success,
the stock being taken up, and nearly all
paid in. Mr.. Imhof has started East
for goods. If this new enterprise is a
success. il will be a great benefit to
farmers and Mechanics, for by taking
enc share (slO0) the shareholder is
entitled TO receive goods for his wv use
at eastern prices, with the cost of trans
portatfOn and incidental expenses added,
and if The store. by its other sale, makes
a profit above its necessary expenses,
each share viii receive a dividend. We
think these shares must always be up to
par, and if the enterprise meets the ex-
pectations Of It's friends, viii command
9 premium.
There is some talk. in this county, Of
getting up a Joint Stock farmers Flour
ing Mill. We have not learned partic-
ularI. but doubt not il will pay well.
