Critical Notices Of the Press
The most popular Monthly in the World.-Ne,r
York Observer.
We must refer in terms of euIogy to the high
tone and va-ied excellence of HARPERs MAGA-
zlNE-a Journal with monthly circulation Of
about 10000 copies-in whose pages are to be
found some of the choicest light and general
reading of the day. We speak of this work as an
evidence of the culture of the American people
and the popularity it has acquired is merited.
Each Eumber contains fully IA pages of reading
matter, appropris tey illustrated with good wood
cuts and it combines in itself the raey monthly
and the more philosophca quarterly, blended
with the best features of the daily journal 1t
has great power in the dissemination of a love of
pure iterature.-TRUBNGR's Guide 10 american
Literature, london.
1t is one Of the wonders ofjournalism-the edi-
torial management of HARPER's All the
periodicals which the Harpers publish are almost
ideally well edited.-The Notion ". y.
We can account for its success only by the
simple fact that it meets precisely the popular
taste, furnishing n variety of pleasing and in
structive reading for all-ZioHs Herald Boston.

In consequence of the great scarcity oi

Again mia winter shrouds the plain.
And rends with angry blasts the sky
A New Year rolls around again.
Another Year has glided by.
And custom e'er since types were cast
Demands from me in empty rhymes
Congratulations for the Past.
And hints and hopes for Future times.
But first just give a thought. my friends,
To what I've done-and still must
Through storm or shine. as heaven
sends.
To furnish latest news TO you:
By ev'ry door, through mud and snow,
| pass ere morn is gray,
And while you dream | onward 60
Upon my dark and dreary way.
TO winds where now our mansions
stand;
Along this lovely plOtedU played
The deer - t was all the Indians

Now, granite blocks on ev'ry square

Aud School. i'm moral grandeur rise.
Reposing meath the mountain domes
That grandly wall it TO the skies,
With lowing herds and pleasant homes,
The Prickly Pear before us lies:
And other valleys. rich and wide,
Are filled with fiocks and furrowed
fields,
And east and west. on ev'ry side,
Montana's soil abundance yields.
The Clark Fork and the Yellowstone
Across the mountains join their
hands
Of settlements a wild ming zone
From Snake To Gallatin expands
Columbia. on the western side.
Is rife with. trade from mines to
mouth:
Missouri rolls with queenly pride
Our carrier on the east and south.
The stream of wealth our placers pour
Decreases not as time rolls by:
Our veins produce the richest ore,
And mills To crush il multiply.
And barely touched the min raj field
That in Montana lies
A generation hence the yield,
Increasing still, shall men surprise.
Amid this wealth in regal pride
And growing strength Helena stands,
And grasps and scatters far and wide
Her silver bars and golden sands
The flaming iron horse is near
The rugged range he IS bounded Ger !;
In three years more he'll thunder here,
And bring New York right TO our door
Ere long the North -Pacifc's rails
Will mark a path of FIRE and steam
Through wilds where now the Indians
trails
Are undisturbed. and he Is supreme.
Then cities proud from Lake to Sound
Within these solitudes will rise:
Helena then will forward bound,
And lead in mountain enterprise.
With all the wealth of tunneled mine,
With all the wealth of fallow plain,
Montana soon will fall in line
A ALEADING STATE. and such remain
A leading State, THE CENTER STAR,
The brightest on the field of blue,
scintillations. near and far,
Shall gild the West with golden hue.
o! brave and noble pioneers,
Your laurel-wreatbs will never fade,
But brighter grow as circling years
Extend the conquests you have made.
And o should Crowns and Senates fall,
And wreckful Discord nations blight,
These mountains be they thea a wall
Enclosing Freedom. guarding Right.

We arc informed THAI tue officers
of the Kankakee & Illinois River
railroad, projected to this place, are
on tour Of inspection along the
proposed line through Indiana, and
viii visit this place about the 18th
of this month. We hope our citi-
zens throughout the county will stir
themselves i'm this matter, and ascor-
tain what can be done in the several
townships of this coCnty,in the way
Of donations, subscriptions of stock
and taxation to pay bonds, to be is
sued by the county. A thorough
canvass should be made by the
leading men Of each township, so
that large meeting can be had,
should the proposed visit on the
18th lie made, and we can be able
TO show something tdngible in the
way OF material aid. We have
quite reliable Information that the
railroad north through Soath Bend,
/, fixed fact If this road terminate,
ut Plymouth, otherwise, that road
will seek a south western outlet,
leaving us tout in the cold We
are further told that theIIlinois com
paI intend to act promptly in this
matter, and unless we are ready to
take hold Of the enterprise they will
accept the liberal offers made them
for a line running south of us and
terminating at Fort Wayne, tapping
q territory now comparatively with
out ony outlet
If We ascertain the exact day Of
the visit above alluded to, we will
give nc tice in our next issue but ii
will probably lie on Friday, the 10Th
inst, unless bad weather prevents
the party from making the tour Of
inspection
The completion Of this road
would change the nature OF business
here very materially, and give us q
future Of great prosperity.
