"A st. Petersburgh correspondent

In your valuable paper of the 9th

Clarion and Forest counties in rela-

theless, they concede the right Of

Forest county.
A letter in the Forest County Press,
of the 9th, claims that in case no

for the benefit of the Press, we say
that Republicans don't take much stock

giant, have Ethrough the president,

ed to Governor Washburne bond of
$4,000 that they viii construct the

the statute. The former offer by this
company, and which was refused by
Gov. Washburne, was aspenal bond of
$500, 600 TO hold the state harmless
rs against all damage which the state
might occur of failure OF the Com
panT TO build the road. The bond
noW offered is for iiquilated damages,
Us required by the Governor, or, in
other words, it is confession OF judg-
neut by the signers Of the bond that
they will pay that amount into the
state treasury in case the company
fails to build the road, whether the
state gets the land grant to give the
c1apany or not. 1t is not known yet
whether the Governor viii accept the
proposition. Ii be will his act will
pass the land grant question out OF

Is sealed. Gen. Grant has signed the
death warrants Of Captain Jack and
his ooniederates who basely killed
General Candy and Commissioner

OF their crime in eacherously nurd-

have been shown some leniency. II
possible the red man must be taught

eeation of Captain Jack and his band
will have good effect on the red skins
remains to be seen.

conclusion l have arrived at is sus-
ceptible of being demonstrated beyond
all reasonable doubt.
Assuming this conclusion TO be cor
rect, its Importance must be at once
conceded. 1t affords a solution to
many veXed questions of national in
terest-to that of agricultural wages :;
to that Of oranges and inland trans
portaton for grain; to that of tem
perance IN drink and abstention from
tobacco and opium. 1t affords the
basis of a new and better commercial
policy; it even affects our system of
educOtion; for if we, as one of the
principal grain producing nations of
the world, are large participants in an
over done industry, the sooner we
abandon the policy Of endowing agri
cultural colleges, and turn the minds
of our children rather to proficiency
in mechanics, the better.
Of course it will be understood that
the question is here treated from its
largest point of view. / am perfectly
wei aware that even vet there are
some remote corners of the CONNER
cial world where 70 ID is so scarce as
to cause destitutiOn; that in other
portions not at all remote or difficult
of access, thousands of INDECENT per-
sons are supported in public work
houses; that this year a comparative
scarcity of gram is apprehended in
France, aud that an unfavorable har-
vest may at any moment attend some
of the principal countries of the
world. But all this does not impair
the value of my conclusion. Remote
ness in one place; imperfect social
regulations in another; temporary
vicissitudes i'm a third a stress of bad
weather in a fourth-these are mere
local or exceptional perturbations, and
do not affect the subject as whole
The plain question is, Is the world
producing too much food? If so.
where shall we sell our breadstuffs
profitably? And if we can sell them
nowhe'e, and must utilize them dele
teriously or uneconomically by con
verting them into bad whiskey and
bad fuel had we not better bestow a
greater part of our attention than now
upon other Industries!

THE GIFT OF LOVE-
BY n. E. B.

Love, wilt thou give this ring to me.
Which on thy taper finger CLEANS?
Fit emblem of loving heart
Are its bright golden beams
Then from my hand it er shall part,
While life remains within my heart.
No, no, indeedl this ring, though bright,
1t has no heart! tits lifeless cold!
The bond of love is loosely clasped
Which must be clasped with gold.
Ne! gold can never, never, be
An emblem of my love for thee.
Thea wilt thou give this rose, to be
a souvenir of these bright hours?
choose it for its purity
You know it's queen of flowers?
Thus would choose thee, beaHteouS one,
To be through life my Queen, my own.
No, no, this rose, in time. will fade;
Its leaves though now in blushing bloom,
Wlll soon be dead, and it will lose
Its beauty and perfume.
Then if the gift so soon would die,
Think! could its mem'ry last for aye?
Then let this be thy parting gift,
This little lock of hair;
By the dear head on which it grew,
Ivow I'll always wear
1t next my heart; twill be a charm
y tallsman to ward of harm.
No. tits not more beftting gift
OF love. than ring or blooming flower;
Twill fade with age, which time can ne'er
Rob true love of its power.
My gilt must shed its brightness o'er
Our lives till we shall be no more.
