The Trees In Early Spring,

Like the first faint streak OF the dawning,
which t-lls that day is nigh;
Like the first dear kiss ot the maiden,
So absolute, though so shy;
Like the joy divine Of the mother
Before her child she secs
So faint, SO dear, and so blessed
Are your misty tops, o trees
can feel the delicate pulses
That stir in cash lestless fold
OF leaflets and lunches oiblossOms-
The life that never grows old
Yet wait. ali, wait, though they WOO You
The sun, the rain-drops, the breeze;
Break not to soon into verdure,

Tho following is told by Mr.. John Rogers:

ever heard Of the electric Telegraph. was
told me by the cashier OF the Bank of Eng

Our President.


Ou President-and can it be.
Unce more presiding DER the Free,
man has reached the chair Of State,
For whom impatiently we wait
A man, who feels that he is called.
From Old King Caucus disenthrallei,
Above all partiZaD control.
To be the servant of the whole
Broad land, whose toiling millions long
To hear again the old sweet song
OF Union. Peace, and Liberty,
Before whose pusic, hate shall ileH,
Fraternal strife, shall dying crave,
And find, an everlasting grave
A man. who does not seem to know,
That he has favOrs to bestow,
For party services to pay.
Tho Politicians helpless prey
Who seems TO think his duty lies,
In finding out the good and wise,
Retaining those who have been tried,
The Public veal his only guidel
Mason and Dixon's fading limo,
To cherish he does not design,
But lain would quite oblitera,e,
With groundless prejudice and hate,
All traces OF the old division,
That almost made us the derision,
u nations, pleased to see the strife,
That threatened the Republics life!
Both white and black will he befriend,
Nor ask that either knee shall bend,
That both together they shall stand,
Sharing alike our soodiy landl
Then, Father, keep his purpose firm,
unbsnt through his appointed term,
Protect him, be his guide and shield,
Let senseless opposition yield,
And make the theme Of future story
liza, es, guardian OF his country's glory

FARBER ITEMS.

All the colored popultion left town
last Friday night. We do not think
they went up in chariot of fire, but
from the tracks in the mud they cer-
tainly went off on wheels.
One more white citizen come on
Thursday night, but he did not come
on wheels, h. only weighs eight
pounds and Mr.. August Loescr is so
eycrjoyed that he has not been able
to work on the railroad since and
says he would not give his boy f"r
the railroad.
The 10th section OF schoul land has
been sold and the purchasers have
commenced to improve 1t. 1t will
nearly all be fenced and farmed this
coming spring.
Rats are very abun liant, the writer
cought tifty-two with one dog in five
hours, hope we shall be able to exter.
inmate them pretty soon.
