FIRST LOVE.
BY JULIA WARD HOWE.

Whom first we love, you know, we seldom we'd
Time rules us all. And life, indeed Is not
The thing we planned II out ere hope was dead
And then, we women can not lose our lot
Much must be borne which 1t Is hard TO bear,
huch given away which II were sweet to keep.
God help US all who need indeed Ills care;
And yet know the Shepherd loves His Sheep.
Nv little boy begins to babble now
I pom my knee hts earliest infant prayer:
He has his fathers eager eyes know,
And, they say, too, his mothers sunny hair.
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee,
And can feel his lighht breath come and 60,
think OF one-iieaven help aud pity me
Who loved me, and whom loved long ago;
Who might have been-ah! what, dare not think
We are all changed. God Judges for us best.
God help us do our duty, and not shrink,
And trust In heaven humbly for the rest.
But blame us women not II some appear
Too cold, At times, and some too CAV and light;
S5nis Efisfs sha~ deep, woes hard to bear
Who knows the past and who can judge us right
All were we judged by what we might have been
And not by what we are-too apt to fall
My little child-he sleeps and smiles between
These thoughts and me. In heaven we shall know
all

Wheat in Smoky Hill Valley.

Mr.. S. J. Gilmore, Land Commits sion
er of the Kansas Pacific Railway, sends
US sample of winter wheat pulled on
the first of May, IN tho Smoky Hill Val
ley, near Salna. The stalks are about
thirty inches in length, ard indicate a
luxuriant growth. This sample OF
wheat, Mr.. Gilmore informs US, WAS tax
en- from field which has been cropped
with wheat for seven years in succession,
without the use of any fertilizer what
ever. This is bad farming but it indI-
Gates a wonderful soil for wheat. In
deed, there is no part Of tho Stale that
exeeIs. the Smoky Hill valley in the
production of wheat. We have watch
ed it now for nearly twenty years, and
we believe there has never been, since
its first settlement, what could fairly be
called failure of the winter wheat crop.
The quality Of the wheat is also un-
surpassed.
We learn from Mr.. Gilmore that the
Company which he repres nts sold dur
ing tho month of April 1888 acres of
land. This shows how the tIGe Of en-
migration is tending toward this great
wheat growing district of the State.
The crops generally, throughout the
central and western part OF the State,
arc in admirable condition and promise
an abundant yield.-Lawrence Journal.

How Daniel Boone Died.

AS he lived so he died with his gan in
his hand. We arc informed by gentle.
man from Boone's home, on the MIS-.
souri,, that early in last month Col.
Boone rode 10 "A deer HEX, abd seated
himself within a bind raised to conceal
him from the game. That while sitting
thus concealed, with his Old TRASHY rifle
in his hand, pointed toward the lick, the
muzzle resting on log, his face 10 the
breech of the gun, his rifle coci "a, his
finger on the trigger, one eye sLg', the
other looking at the barrel through
the sight-in this position, without a
struggle or motion, and of cours, with
out pain, he brcathed out his lite so
gently, and when he was found next
day by his friends, although stiff and
cold, he looked as If alive, with ms gun
in hand just in the act OF firing. II is
not altogether certain il buck bad come
in range of his CUR, which has been the
death of thousands, but il might have in
