Love, is it winter?
How can tell,
While thou art near me,
Weaving thy spell?
Never was May-time so 1Owery and sweet,
Never was June so with music complete,
Never did summer so linger and stay,
AS now on this blessed St Valentines Day.
Once-was 1t summer?
How could tell,
While thou vert absent,
Sweet Claribel?
Never was autumn so withered and sere,
Never was winter so cTuel0nd drear,
Never was nighttime so gloomy and gray,
AS that morning in June when my hope died
away.

"a QUEER School MARM."-A little
girl in the South, old enough to attend
school, had never heard prayer. A
missionary persuaded her to go to Union
Sunday-school he had recently started,
and which was conducted by q lady.
When the little girl saw the school was
opened with singing and prayer, she slip
ped out and ran home, saying, Mother,
mother, we've got the queerest school
marm you ever saw or heard on. She
sings songs and speaks pieces in school,
and the fun of it is, she gets right down
on her knees when she speaks her piece"
The Sunday-School Union might find
work for few more of its pioneer miss
ionaries in that region.

After Mnny DAYS.


Weary watcher! sad and lone thy vigls
While the stars of night illume the silence.
Sorrows spell hath long eclipsed thy spirit
Prone thy pale lips oft to murmur, "Oh earth
Hath no thorny path like this" Hush
The rebollious thought, for Ono whose voice
rings
Ever from the infinite far DER the
Finite waves of being, and across the lapse
OF ages past and years to come hath said
In tones of solemn sweetness, "Cast thy brea'
Upon the waters and thou'lt surely find
1t after many days.
Mother! does thy
Patient toll and striving seem endeavor
Wasted and the broad reach of future days
OF all fruition void? Work on! The seed
Thou'rt sowing falls not on unfruitful soil
Precious hearts of genial mold are shrining
All thy faithful teachings, tenderness, and
Care, and into glowing fruit they'll ripen
Bye and bye.
Christian soldiers mid the foes
That meet but to assail thee in thy path,
Look never backward, but with armor bright
And spirit valiant march thou bravely on
Thy sure reward will peace and victory be.
Oh how we grope amid the ills Of life,
Oft baifled in our highest aims and hopes,
Forcetful of this beacon promise for
The soul, hung high above the wrecks of tim'
Cast thou thy bread upon the waters and
Thoult find it after many days

The Lowry Outlaws.

New YORK, March 4. A letter from
Scufietown, North Carolina, gives full
account of the Lowry gang Of outlaws,
stating that they live in swamp, are the
terror of decent people, are murderers,
thieves and mongrel mixture of Indian,
Negro and low white races. and that their
leader can neither read nor write. He
declares a personal,williugness to go away
and enter the army, but his gang won't
let him. They defy and set at naught
all civil officers, militia and regular army
efforts to capture them, and one of the
Sheriffs declares that the only way to rid
the State Of them is for the Government
to declare the whole of Robson county
under martial law and draw a military
Gordon around it, with determined army
officers to capture and kill the gang.

STEAMERS BURNED AT CINcINNATI.-A
disastrous fire occurred among the steam
ers at the wharf in Cincinnati, Wednes.
day night. 1t originated in the St
Charles shortly after midnight, and the
flames spread with such rapidity that the
people aboard had barely time to escape
by jumping overheard. Capt Russell,
the colored chambermaid and the stew
ard escaped with singed hair Two of
the deck hands are missing, and are sup
posed to have been drowned. The fire
spread up and down stream rapidly, and
destroyed the following steamers, with
their cargoes Champion, Argosy, St
Charles, Kate Robinson, Major Ander.
son and Abeona. The Abeona was sold
on Tuesday for $4,000, to be deivered as
soon as her cargo was discharged. The
cargo was estimated to have been worth
S75, 900, and was insured in Cincinnati
and elsewhere. The Kate Robinson was
to have sailed for the Tennessee river on
Thursday. She was valued at $4,000,
and was uninsured; her cargo was valu-
ed at $4,000. The St Charles was val
ued at $40, 900 and insured for $4,000
in Cincinnati companies. Her freight
was valued at $4,000. The Argosy was
valued at $1,000. She had 100 tons Of
freight for New Orleans, including 20C
barrels of whiskey loss on cargo $780,
900. The Champion was loaded fol
Shreveport, La, and was not entirely
consumed she was uninsured. The Loss
of boats and cargo will reach fully $780,,
600. Capts Williamson and Isham are
the heaviest losers. They owned three
of the boats, and were uninsured. A
large amount of cotton and other freigh
on tie wharf caught fire, and burned
fercely for time, but the flames were
finally extinguished. The steamer Rob
ert Burns. which was loaded for Mem
phis and lying at the wharf, dropped
down to the foot of Main street and es
capped injury. A keg of gunpowder il
the magazine of the steamer Kate Rob
inson exploded, producing shock lik'

GoDEY's LADY's BooK.-The record of
GoDEy hardly finds parallel in the lit

has been made better and more attractive
as the years have come and gone, and it
stands to day without a successful rival
in the land. On our arrival in Jeddo,
Japan, in 1862, the first American jour-
nal we saw was copy of GopEY! The
arrangements for this year embrace many
new and attractive features, and it is
pleasant to know that Cooley always fui-
fils his promises.

PRODUCTIONS,
| cannot over estimate the capacity of
Kansas for the successful growing of any
thing that can be raised in any state
cast in the same latitude or farther north.
AS to fruit culture need only say that
the prize medal for the largest and finest
fruits was awarded to Kansas at the
national exhibition held at Philadelphia
in 1862 advance the opinion that this
state will yet beat any other state in this
latitude in the raising of fruit, AS
dairy country | believe northwest Kansas
has no superior. The Republican and
Solomon rivers with the numerous creeks
that empty into them from either side
furnish abundance of water for stock.
The prairie grass is sweet and nutritious
and produces as good butter as the most
fastidious could desire,
1t has been said that stock need no
feeding through the winter, and it is true
that no provision is made for most the
cattle especially and they are obliged to
"root or die J" but farmers who adhere
to this custom are "penny wise and pound
foolish" Stock may live though, accord.
ing to the literal meaning of the term,
but they came out "spring poor" and re-
quirc half of the summer to regain flesh.
COST OF LIVING.
Many desire to know the cost of living
here. To such l would say that the
prices Of general merchandise are about
the same here as east. The price Of
lumber are as follows Pine 40 to 70
dollars per IN. Cottonwood 80 dollars
Shingles, pine 1855 to $500. Shingles
Cottonwood $3.50.
TIE PEOPLE.
Here we have representations from every
state in the Union with "right smart
sprinkling" of Sweeds and Germans
OF coarse what j. j. Ingalls, in the
last number of the Kansas Magazine
terms "Catfsh Arstocracy" is largely
represented here, but the present immi
grafton brings with it far more refnemen
and advanced ideas.
Finally l will say to those who con
template emigrating to Kansas, that they
$ may expect to be disappointed at almos

There was a real tragedy in the theatre
in Sheffield, England, on the 18th ult.
One Bradshaw, watchman, killed his
wife with a hatchet in dressing-room,

sence, and found his wife remarked. She
left her second husband to again live with
the first, but the latter became jealous,
and hence the terrible deed,

The proofs multiply that the adjourn
ment of the Legislature was in the in
terest of the Erie Ring. James Wood
began the canvass for it as early as
Thursday last. 1t is asserted that since
Jay Gould was here last week money
from Erie Golfers flows as free as water.
Several conspicuous lobbymen are active
in the campaign for Erie, and the friends
of repeal and reform have doubts Of their
success. 1t is apprehended that the leg

that the thieves are going to win the con-
test which began with the session.
