CORN SONG.

BY J. G. WHITTIER.
Heap high the farmers wintry hoard
Heap high the golden corn
No richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn
Let other lands exulting, CLEAN
The apple from the pine,
The orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bestow,
To steer US when the storm shall drift
Our harvest fields with snow.
Through wales of grass, and meads of flowers
Our ploughs their furrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers
Of changeful April played.
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long bright day of June,
Its leaves grew bright and fair,
And waved in hot midsummer noon,
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now with Autumn's moonlit eyes,
Its harvest time is come,
We pluck away Its frosted leaves,
And bear its treasures home.
There, richer than the fabled gifts
Appollo showered of old,
Fair hands, the broken grain shall sift,
And knead its meal of gold.
Let vapid idlers loll in silk,
Around the costly board;
Give us the bowl of samp and milk,
By homespun beauty poured.
Then shame on all the proud and vain,
Whose folly laughs to scorn
The blessings of our hardy grain,
Our wealth ofgolden corn.
Let earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the e-orchard' S fruit,
The wheat-felds to the fly.
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us for his golden corn
Send up our thanks to God.

When General Sully, last summer, on
his expedition to the Devils Lake, passed
Fort Berthold, quite number of Indians
had gathered there to see him and make
peace. They complained a great deal of
dry weather, and wished the General would
make the rain the same as Father de Smet,
the missionary that used to see them, had
done The General promised them ne
would do the best he could. 1t happened
that shortly afterwards a heavy thunder
shower passed, flooding everything. The
Indians were greatly pleased, and called
the General a great medicine man. But
they said it was little too much at once
'Well," said the General, Il know it, but
