Nebraska.

Ii is Difficult, without sight, to give an ade
qratc ikea OF the prospects and resources of this
great State. Nebraska: is in shape an irre~u-
lar paraie"gran, something Ike Pennsylvania,
ana about Of the same relative proportions, but
containing an area Of 0nc-!Ialf more TERRITORY
almost seventy thousand square milec.-
Every acne Of this tract can he seen from tho.
railway, for three hundred miles is arabic land
and the inhabitants tell us that north and s,utll
i: is, as is tie ease in Kentucky, richer than
along lie route of the rail. For about two hun
bred miles west of Omaha the country is toicr-
ably settled, and corn higher AMI wheat heavier
than any cast of the Missouri aicStcd its fcrt-
ity and prolific wealth. Beyond this line where
not cultivated, rich thick grass gives evidence
of the Sa:..c fact. 1t is Pennsylvania without
the sterile Aieghen:es-a vast, waered, not
Hat, bet slightly broken and rolling fruitful tract
OF farm and grazing land
From this rich soil the average Yield of oats is
sixty to eighty bushels to the acre, and hun
bred have been raised; OF wheat thrty-fve
bushels TO TIE acre :; of corn, forty. Nebraska
wheat brings now in ST. Louis market ten cents
per buShcl over the crops from Other parts of the
country. Potatoes are Il good and prolific, but
as yet, uncertain crop. Grapes grow in album
dance, and almost without ere or cultivation.
1t bids fair to be the vineyard of the continent
Fruit, of coarse, is Yet an untested crop, but
every clement is at hand to determine gencr-
ous yield. More good hay is burned annually
on the praires of Nebraska and the outlying ter
ritolcs than would feed the horses Of the world.
This is the current Nebraska boast, and it seems
probable. Certain it is that the long sicculent
grass of the prairies, dried uncut in the sun, fat
tents with rapdity all cattle which are fed on it.
Theeie seems no good reason why the rich roll
ing auyial soil OF Nebraska should not bear
with success every Pennsylvania crop. At

Safely to the eventi,!e.'

That in regal glory wait,
BY the bright celestial portal,
Guardians Of the golden gate,
Fold their snowy wings in silence,
Bow their light crowned heads to hear !;

1t may, perhaps, be anticipated that Polly
repented at once, for she was certainly fond
OF Bob; but it cannot confidently be aver
red that she did. When she arrived at
home. her mother and Jane thought her
looking remarkably rosy and we'll nothing
was observed TO be the matter with her spir
its, and as she kept her own counsel about
Bobs offer, she had neither praise nor blame
to endure, nor question, nor comment, nor
criticism. Mrs. Sanders did remark once,
You have not picked up beau in the
country, then, Miss Polly ~ and her mother
did rejoin that she hoped her girls had more
sense than to dream of beaur, but that was
the nearest allusion to the subject; and,
when the holidays were over, she went back
to the Warden House and resumed her
schoolroom work, il her orderly systematic
way, as if she had not care or 4 thought
beyond it. For month or two Mrs. Sta
pylton lived in daily expectation of notice
that she must provide herself with another
govcrness; but no notice coming, she cob
cluded that Polly had missed her chance,
and, as she suited her admirably in every
way, she was not sorry Maggie's letter S
were not much less frequent or alicctionate
than formerly, but Polly was not invited
again to spend her holidays at the Grange,
as was very natural. Nor did they meet
