this spring coming. ftConsider ye the lilies, !"
said he that spake as never man spake. The
planting and shrub cultivating season is at
hand, and spring cometh on apace. Shall it
come to our city laden with floral beauty ?
Shall it come to array yards and grounds with
verdure and attractiveness, and make our tair

raj of them-beautiful to look upon, the pride
of orr citizens, and the delight of all that so.
journ among us? 1t viii beso if your yards
and grounds, your shrubs and flowers, receive
your attention. But the hand Of the diligent
alone maketh wealth of this kind. Handsome
premises belong only to those that work TO
have them. A little such work now will re-
ward you shortly with rich harvest of floral
and arboreal bloom and sweetness. Thereby
will you be benefited. 1t will tend to rub of
the rough corners of worldly battling hu-
mainly; it will cultivate within you the graces
and ammunities of life, will lead you to q
love for the beautiful, and withal make you a
public benefactor by increasing greatly the
good looks Of Keokuk.

seen sticking out OF the ground like
tuft Of grass, and near BY hand was
seen protruding upward, which eyi-
dentiy belonged 10 the corpse that

cavalrymen remarked 70 his oompan-

spirit Of want0n mischief, almost reck-
lessness, the eavalrymen took hold Of
the mans hand, and hauled the body
out of the grave, the loose dirt falling
back into the shallow hole soon after
the man began 10 stir aud manifest
signs Of life, 10 the utter astonishment
and horror Of the resurreotionists. The
man Was taken by hiG rescuers 70 their
tent, and was rubbed down, washed
of, and in few days became as good
as new" He said that in the battle he
was stunned BY the passage Of = shell
which knocked him senseless. he was
picked up among the dead and buried
ike the rest. Not a scratch was found
on his body. he said that he hal

Federals long and well, but a. TINS was
