Railroad Lands.
On Thursday morning last, the 18th
instant, the first colony of the present
season, bound to the lands of the B. &
NJ. r. r., passed through this city, at
an early hour.
The headquarters and starting point
of this colony was at Lynn station, on
the Rockford, Rock Island and St.
Louis Railroad, a town about thirty
miles north of Monmouth, the junction
point of the above railroad and the G.
B. & Q. R. r.
They consisted of two full train
loads Of sixteen and fifteen cars respec-
lively, and presented promising ap-
pearance for the future, as they passed
through the city, running closely to-
gether.
TIE thirty -one cars consisted of four
large B. Il NJ. coaches, holding passen-
gers equivalent to two hundred and ten
full fares, six cars horses, eight cars
COWS and young cattle, five cars house
hold goods, and eight car wagons aud
agricultural implements, They were
destined to the lands laying around and
about Red Oak Junction, aud the B. &
NJ. branch road to Nebraska City.
We understand that this is the first
of series of such trains, which will be
run during the season for the transpor.
tation of colonists and settlers bound to
.he B. a. NJ. lands in Southern Iowa
and Nebraska.
The plan which has been adopted by
the railroad company has been to use
every means to induce settlers to carry
with them their stock and agricultural
implements, and all the useful and lux
urious surroundings of their old homes,
and so render themselves as comforta-
BILE and independent in the new country
to which they 90, as they were in that

The Nebraska lands of the railroad
company are attracting especial atten-

but from the fact that lying in large

The Evening Story.

'Lo, we are not sleepy mother,
See how wide awake we seem;
Tell us something sweet to think of,
Tell us something sweet to dream.
"Tell the very Sweetest story
That you ever heard or read,
And you'll see that well remember
Every single word you've said"
Then told them of midnight
In the very long ago,
When the sky was full of angles,
And from every shining row,
In voice of heavenly music.
Came loving message, given
For the sake of one sweet baby
That had come that night from heaven,
"Now please tell rs just another,
Tell the saddest one you know"
And told of one who suffered,
And who wandered to and fro;
Doing good to all around Him,
Without fear, or sin, or pride;
Blessing those who most ill-used Him;
For whose sake at last He died.
"Now, please, just one more dear mother,
Tell us now the strangest one;"
SO to Id them Of a journey,
On mountain top begun;
Through the azure, in body,
Just as here on earth he trod,
Up through shining ranks Of angels
To the very throne of God!
Four blue eyes and two sweet voices
Waited till my tale was done,
Then they cried, "Why, that was Jesus
These three stories are but one.''

lies right in the path of the Star of En-
pire. It runs almost Immediately in the
centre of the great westward movement
Of emigration Crossing Illinois and
Iowa, it strikes the Missouri river at
three points.
These three points are the gateways
into three great sections Of the trans.
Missouri region.
The Northern gate is Omaha, where
the great Pacific road will take you to
the land of gold and grapes, sunny
mountains, and perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Plattsmouth, which
/ opens upon the south half of Nebraska,
south of the Platte river, a region un-
surpassed on the continent for agricul-
ture and grazing. Just here are the b
& M. Railroad lands, concerning which
Geo. S. Harris, the land officer at Bur
lington, Iowa, can give you all informa-
ton, and in the heart of them is Lin
coin, the State Capital and present ter
minus Of the road.
The Southern gate leads to Kansas,
by connection with the St. Joe Road at
Hamburg, running direct to st. Joe and
Kansas City.

Planning.


We are told that Won Moltke had
the present great campaign in his brain
years ago. Ho was once found by
French officers near Sedan, studying
the spot where he should hurl down
the power Of France. An invasion
had been written out and was ready for
the alarm Of war.
Christians are an army Of invasion.
They are commissioned to take this
world for Christ, and hold it, too. The
enemy has long been disturbing the
peace of all about him. He has a
great territory and entertainments as
strong as sin can secure in ruined hu-
man nature.
Victory will not come as an accident.
1t may notreasonably be supposed to be
az hand. There is struggle of world
wide proportions before the army Of
the Lord.
Could we not gain much by plains
that shall be reaching? Plans to
win soul, family, uoighborhood, a
state, the republic? Plans that shall
be the best that the joined thought of
the laity and ministry can give? Plans
that, while they credit the Spirit with
omnipotence, do not ignore the duty of
using skill and persistence in methods
any more than the Bible does? Plans
which shall not be abandoned, but
shall lay siege to the Kingdom of dark
ness with Prussian patience and persis-
tence?
Protestanism has lost much by being
fragmentary and wanting in plans that
reach through decades and centuries as
the purposes and policies of Romanism
do.
Occasional excitement and spasms OF
effort will not save the world.
Consecrated thinking is essential to
this success. 1t is necessary to united
evangelical triumphs. What think ye?

NorICE.-Wc have had numerous
inquiries, since we commenced publish
ing the ADVOCATE, as to whether those
persons who paid Mr.. Luther in ad-
vance, for subscription and advertising,
would receive credit on our books. In
answer we. would say that we have
nothing, whatever, to do with Mr..
Luther's accounts, and those who have
paid him in advance will have to look
to him for their money.

THE announcement that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is about ready to
call in a large amount of the fve-twenty
bonds shows that the work of issuing
the new loan is being entered upon in
earnest. The Treasury department will
receive at once any fve-twenty bonds
which holders may desire to surrender
in anticipation of the issue Of new
bonds, and pay interest on bonds so
surrendered to the first day OF May
pekt without the rebate, at which time
the new bonds will begin to bear in
terest, and will also issue certificates
which will entitle the holders to receive
new bonds when they are ready fer de-
livery. The five. twcnties surrendered
must be transmitted to the Treasury
Department, and certificates guarantee
ing the delivery of new bonds will then
be issued. The registered bonds should
be assigned to the Secretary of the
Treasury.

The Chairman OF the Venango
County Republican Committee wisely
concludes that the best way to help the
party is TO circulate Republican news
papers, but very unwisely ignores the
local papers and orders the New York
Tribune for distribution in that county.
He is like a great many other Pcnnsyl-
vania politicians. The editors of Re
publican papers in every county in the
State should make it a rule to repudiate
all politicians who have not the manli-
ness and local pride to sustain their
home papers in preference to the Tri-
June or sny other metropolitan journal,
i Erie Gazette.

THE Secretary of the Treasury has
just issued a circular containing the
regulations for the redemption Of cop
per and other token coins under the
act of Congress of March 8, 1871.
Such coins are to be sent in sums of
not less that twenty dollars, and at the
expense OF the owner, to the Director of
the Mint at Philadelphia, who must be
advised by mail of the amount and
kind of coin forwarded, and upon what
Assistant Treasurer the check in pay
ment thereof shall be drawn.

ALMOST A FIRE.-Last week the
house of Patrick Daley, who lives near
the depot, came near being burned un-
der the following circumstances: 1t
seems that all the folks had left the
house, excepting a couple of little
children, who tried to amuse them
selves by setting fire to piece of paper
aud holding it to the window curtain;
from the curtain the FIRE communicated
to the bed, burning up the bed clothes,
ana from thence it made its way to a
lot of clothing, hanging on the wall,
and was getting under a pretty fair
headway, when Mrs. Daley came home
and put the fire out.

RATs.-This is a humane gentle
mans way of getting rid of rats: Put
potash in their holes and runs. The
poor wretches get it on their feet, and
over their fur, then they lick it, and
don't like the taste of it; it burns them
somewhat, and the more they see of it
the less they like it; SO they clear out
almost as soon as the application is
made. To get rid of mice, the same
person used tartar-emetic, mingled with
any favorito food; they take it, take
sisk, and take their leave.
