Written for the Walworth Co., Independent.
Early at the Gate.
BY MRS. FRANK LELAND.

There is an old gentleman in Newport R
>, who rises early and picks boquet OF flow
rs, and waiting at the gate till the first CIR
passes, he presents 1t to her. He has done
his for years $50
All l yes, / see the old man now, G&a
With frosty locks above his brow,
with whitened locks above his brow,l
That morning breezes softly sway,
And breathe upon at birth of day
While he plucks fairest of his fiow'rs,
To crown some maiden's morning hours.
Whose fortune will it be to pass
Brushing the dew from off the grass,
land brush the dew from off the grass,]
The first of mornings ,maidens fair,
To greet the old man standing there
Just by the gateway with his fow'rs, Is
To crown her early morning bours?
Fair girl, thy summer morning crowned
WiGn sweets that wintry hands have found
with sweets that aged hands have found,
Is lesson for thy heart to. learn--sas
For winter thou wilt know in turn,
For old age thou mayst know in turn,
Sow goodly seed, fair maiden, SOW
Thoui't find again mid frost and snow.
[ThouPt find again in lively glowl.
Perhaps the old man soon will be
Beside the gate--ETRRNITY-
Perhaps he'll welcome thee up there
Where flowers grow unearthly fair.
How Glorious that would be, to see
6 Him crowned with immortality.
And standing daily by the gate,
When mortals pass to heavenly state;
Dispensing still his gifts to those
Who eaIly come when death doth close
The gateway here-dispensing there
Those fow'rs that grow unearthy fair.

Our Home Poets.

From the Walworth County Independent
The Kenosha Telegraph of 4th inst, has
an article headed as above, in which
with Mignonette and other names We
find Mrs. Frank Leland" with criticism
upon the poem, early at the Gate" re
Gently published in the independents by
her and reproduced in the Telegraph
The criticism will be found on the first
page In reply Mrs. Leland hands us the
following letter
Dear Mr.. Kenosha Telegraph Critic
| Approaching your kindly and compli
mentary words in your criticism upon the
lines, EARLY at the Gate" and acknowl
edging the justice of some of the sugges-
tions, l cannot accept all your amend,
ments. My taste may not be as good as
Critics, but in second line, prefer "fros.
ty" locks,as the metaphor comparing bet
ter with the whc1 :, and as being my own
choice IN writing my own thoughts
Brushing" grant you, it is not good
I knew it when / wrote it. "And brush
is only better in giving trifle, perhaps
more correct rythmical accent. And sure
ly whatever ideas other readers may have
gathered from the two first lines, of third
verse Critic seems to have misapprehend-
ed them =
&C Fair girl, thy summer morning crowned
With sweets that wintry hands have found"
First, SIMMER morning" (here you
want a rhetorical pause) is the bright,
young life of the girl the "sweets"
" found" by "wintry hands" are the
flowers the aged man with frosty locks"
stands ready to crown her young life with.
Second, | think the metaphors frosty
locks, y "wintry hands, summer morn
ing" although common ones, have the
merit of correct comparison and { in the
last case,) contrast Fourth line, third
verse, should be, /" For winter thou
may'st know in turn; but your s'ozd age'
for winter" in that line, reject. 1t is
true my pretty girl may not live long
enough to find the fruits of "goodly seed"
mid the frost and snow" Of years, but
| meant (you know,) If she did lice +!
Your "lioely gloao" you can't vouch for
any more truly than for her life, so I
return it to you with thanks l have no
use for it, it is not pretty. 1t makes me
think of Goals of fire in "liYely glow"
and it would be sad end for +" goodly
seed to be in a fiery glow, tending to
ashes. 81 I 161
Let me see-what if this maiden is not
to live till frosts crown her brow +" I
think I Will have it thus: ~
"Sow goodly seed, fair maiden, SOW

horrld work with peoples thoughts and
modes OF expression, | don't wish Frank

any small merit Of thought or fancy, at
tracts sufficient attention to call forth a
friendly criticism. Truly yours,

Location of Heaven.

The following is from the New York
Scientific american 3.& &ssH
Theological writers have always been
puzzled to fix upon any very definite idea
in regard to the geographical so tc
speak--location of heaven. The Chris
tian faith associates it as final resting
place for redeemed souls, anG preachers
have drawn from it the lesson that revel
alton, for wise reasons, had yelled it in
obscurity. But science is progressive
1t digs deep.into the bowels of the earth
and scars away into the regions of space
so that at last we have a philosopher
sufficiently bold who undertakes to re-
move the perplexity, and solve all our
doubts upon this sublime subject.
Instead of being q matter philosophical
and Christian speculation, we are now
provided with scientific solution of the
whole difficulty by Dr.. Mortimore, NJ
ID. not D. d.. According to his the
DRY there is vast globe or world, far
within, from the surrounding atmosphere
of ethereal fire which all denominate the
sun, (which globe is estimated to be at
least five hundred thousand miles in di-
ameter" Dr. Mortimer states that he
has brought divine revelation to bear
upon this vast central globe, and is plain
ly convinced shat the globe thus describ-
ed is the Heavenly Empire wherein the
righteous from this earth find their future
home" Not content to have made the
discovery of the exact locality Of "our
Heaven" the Doctor has gone into a
mathematical calculation of the number
ofmiA ties it requires for the spirit flight
from earth to this celestial abode, for all
of which information doubtitg and be-
lieving souls will forever thank the
learned Doctor @

Commissioner Wells Report.
From the Chicago Tribune /.


The annual report of the Special Com
missioner of the Revenue has come to be
looked upon as second only in impor-
lance to the Presidents message. 1t en-
braces all the facts relating to the indus
try, trade, and commerce of the country,
which an industrious, impartial, and sa-
gacious officer can collect during the in
vestigations of year 1t is fortunate
that this task has fallen to the hands of
so competent person as Mr.. David A.
Wells. His successive contributions to
the statistical knowledge of the country
have been invaluable, and his report for
the current year is, perhaps, the most
interesting and exhaustive of the series,
We resigna large space incur columns
this morning to this important document.
1t is difficult to condenses the facts and
arguments which Mr.. Wells has present
ed. They are given to US in very com
pact form, and in an extremely attractive
and luminous style. The causes which
have produced the existing depression in
trade and industry are shown to be the
two-fold evils of an irrcdeemable curren-
cy and excessive taxation The workings
of the present tariff arc proved to be. in
the highest degree deleterious to the
whole country, gripping every branch o.
industry in its turn, and making the Ia
boring classes poorer every year that il
continues in force. The facts. presented
in relation to the wool tariff are especial
ly interesting to the woolsgrowers, who
looked upon that invention a few years
ago as certain to make them rich, anc
who have since been compelled to slough
er their sheep for the pelts and tallow
which is about the same thing as giving
them away .lt,s 6l5 54
We shall recur to the several items o
the report in future articles. Meanwhile
we commend tito the careful perusal o
all who desire to make themselves &C
quainted with the great practical issue
OF finance and taxation now before thu
