milder than that of Soulh-Western " is

able persons who have resided there Tor
a number of years, that the mercury
rises to a higher point during the hot

in SOuth-W Western Missouri Ninety,

the Winter season j 5 much warmer
there than here A gentleman resident
of Neosho, formerly IL resident Of lsa,
cine, in tins State, and who has observed
the difference in regard to temperature,
informed me that during the Winter
season it is about twenty degrees warmer
in that latitude, than in Southern " is

much shorter On the 10th Of April,

How Beautiful !

MY soul thy sacred image keeps,
My midnight dreams are ali of thce:
For nature then in silence sleeps,
And silence hroods DER land an sea;
On, in that still mysterious hour,
How OFT from waking dreams start,
TO find thee but fancy flower,
Thou cherished idol Of my heart,
Thou hast each thought and dream of mine
Have in turn one thought of thine?
For ever thine my dreams will be,
Whatc'er may be my fortunes here,
ask not loyc-I claim from thee
Only one boon, gentle tear;
May blessed visions from above
Play brigntiy round thy happy heart,
And may the beams Of peace and love
Nc'cr from thy glowing soul depart.
Farewell F! all dreams arc still with thee,
Hast thou one tender thought of nc?
My joys like summer birds may ny,
My hopes like summer blooms depart,
But there's one flower that cannot die,
Thy holy memory in my heart;
No dcws that one flowers cup may fill,
No sunlight to its leaves be given,
But it will live and flourish still,
AS deathlcss as n thing Of Heaven
My soul grccts thine, unmaskcd, unsought,
last thou for me one gentle thought?
Farewell farewell F.! my far-off friend!
Between us broad. blue rivers flow,
And forests wave and plains extend,
And mountains i'll the sunlight glow;
The wind that hrcatlcs upon thy brow
Is not the wind that brcathcs on mine,
The stnrbcams shining on thee now
Are not the beams that on me shine
But mcmorys spell is with me yet
Canst thou the holy part forget?
The bitter Tears That thou and
May she'd whcnc'er by anguish bowed,
Exalted into the nocntdc sky,
May meet and minglc in the cloud;
And thus, my much loved friend, though VIC,
Far far apart must live and move,
Our souls, when God hath set them free,
Can minglc in the world Of love.
This were an ecstacy to me
Say-would it be u JOY to thee?

A Gard from, Judge Carpenter.

To the Editor cfMe Rcpnblican:
SIR. [ observe, in your issue Of Satur-
day, the following paragraph:
'It is now well known that Judge r. B.
Carpenter is acting with the Citizess' party,
being the possible candidate of thatSparty for
the Governorship."
Your informants arc in error. Since my
election by the General Assembly to the Office
of Circuit Judge have deemed it incumbcnt
upon myself to refrain from taking an active
part in politics, and, had / been otherwise in
clincd, the laborious and cxacting nature of
my official duties would have cifcctualy pre-.
vented me from so doing.
1t is true, though. a Republican, that |
have very decided views in reference 70 the
want of fitness and integrity of certain men
who have sought and obtained political pre-.
fcrmcnt from the Republican party; and in
private life, among personal friends Of all
shades of political opinion, l have not hosita
ted to give those views expression. But
am not and have not boon a candidate for the
Governorship at the hands Of any party, and
have not sought, nor Shall | seek such dis
tnction.
