the man owed humanity q grudge and
meant to pay it some day. That man s
opponents may trembla and his friends
may trust his strength of purpose and
ability to act.
There is the coarse boisterous, dicta-
torial tone, invariably adopted by vulgar
persons; who have pot sufficient cult

There is the incredulous tone. that is
full of a covert sneer, or secret "you

Then there is a whining, beseeching

as if it uttered the word. 1t caioles and

ride Is 80 miles over the gently undu-
lating prairie, the scenery is such as to
please the eye and give health and vigor.
The streams are all rock bottoms,
Astounding with excellent fish, where
the disciple of Isaak Walton is not
hedged in, but feels lie is indeed in a
free country, and the whole county has
excellent springs and veins of pure run
ming water, which is a rarity in this
State, accessible at depth from to 80
feet. The sportsman can find deer, wild
turkeys, prairie chicken, quail, wood
cock, snipe, wolves, raccOOn, and pos
sum.
Strangers are treated with great cour-
tesy, and visit to this locality will
long be remembered by those whose
pleasure it is to enjoy one among its
hospitable citizens. The writer is strong
ly impressed that great change is being
effected in the public mind, as people of
the east become better acquainted with
the west, and feel assured that it will
regulate itself on general principles.

THE POWER OF MUSIC MODERNIZED.

How sweet the moonlight sleeps
Upon this citizen saving bank,
Whose shutters are up, and whose
President and Cashier have gone to that couh-
try
With which we have no extradition treaty.
Here will we sit and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears along with ants and bugs,
And other merry wanderers of the night.
Sit Jessica, here upon my overcoat,
And wake Diana with a hymn.
Do thou but note wild and wanton herd
OF youthful and unhandled colts,
Fetching mad bounds snorting and neighiing
loud,
Ifthey but hear pechance trumpet sound,
Or any air of music touch their ears,
You.shall perceive them make a.mutual stand,
Their savage eyes turned to n modest gaze,
Transfixed by the sweet power of music.
You doubtless have observed, too,
That when herd of youthful and unhandled
Colts, or broken down plow-horses, catch
The far off sound of church choir
Where the minister and congregation
Join in the chorus, they will get away from it
Or break their neck.
But this, dear Jessica is not music,
Oh, no; not by long shot!
The man who hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with q concord of swee,
sounds,
Is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils,
Or to hold office under the United States Gov
eminent.
Let no such man be trusted
Further than you might throw bull by tn
tail.

An "AssiStanto Editor.

Mr.. Hockey said Col. Bangs, of the
argus, to one Of the assistant editors,
whom he had recently installed in
order to give him trial, you have
many of the characteristics of a great
journalist, and | have no doubt that
at some time in the remote future
you will be capable of conducting the
London Times, but at present some of
your peculiarities are of so marked a
character as to destroy much of your
usefulness in this establishment
What d. you mean?'
why, for instance, notice that you
always spell horse hearse; and that in
spelling Congress you invariably begin
with large X. These things are not so
important, perhaps, while one proof
reader maintains condition ofsobriety.
But when yon speak of Herzegovina as
species of Asiatic chicken, and allude
to It's conflict with Turkey as if they
were two fowls fighting in a barn-yard
you go too far; you trepass upon the
good nature of our readers. You are
mistaken also in abiding to Egypt as the
capital of Germany, and in asserting
that the Suez canal runs to Buffalo, and
was built by De Witt Clinton. 1 want
to pass that editorial to oblge you, but
really Pm afraid I can't
We'll, Pm sorry
Now take that article of yours about
Cuba. You speak Of Cuba being in the
Arctic regions, and you allude to the
native as living chiefly on walrus meat.
And you seem to think the American
Navy is composed of scows and that a
vice-admiraPs duty is to keep his eye
on the mules and to managed the tow-line.
They have no tow-lines in the Navy,
Mr.. Heckley. 1t is not your fault that
you have never been to sea; but when
a man undertakes to supply marine in-
telligence for great daily newspaper,
he ought to know that a quarter deck is
not a pack of cards which cost q quar-
ter
I didn't say So.
You intimatcd as much, and I tell
you it just drives the public wild. 1t
won't do. Take my advice, go off some
where in the country, study up, ascer-
tain that membranous Group is not part
of the harness that holds up horses
tail; learn that Americas Vespucius
was not the technical! name foT cabbage
hunt up the fact that the Isrealites did
not shoot quail in the desert with double
J barreled shOt-guns; inform yourself that
Plutarch was not the god of the internal
regions; discover that the statistics OF
the hop crop do not refer exclusively to
!, dancing parties and aeGuaint yourself
with the facts that Pharaoh did not in
'. vent the game of seven up and that
the word Oshkosh Is the name ola town,

the Scandinavians, from whom the
Americans have obtained it in the modi-
, fed form of 'Goshu Good morning.
