POETRY.
Country Life.


Not what we would, but what we must,
Makes up the sum of living;
Heaven Is both more and less than just
In taking aud in giving.
SWORDS cleave to hands that sought the plough,
And laurels miss the soldiers brow.
Me whom the city holds, whose feet
Have worn its stony highways.
Familiar with its loneliest street
Its ways are never my ways.
My cradle was beside the sea,
And there, hope, my grave will be.
Old homestead! In that old, gray town.
The vane is seward blowing,
Thy slip of garden stretches down
To where the tide is flowing;
Below they lie, their sails ali furled,
The ships that go about the world.
Dearer that little country house.
Inland, with pines beside it;
some peach-trees with unfruitful boughs,
A well, with weeds to hide it;
No flowers, or only such as rise
seif-sown, poor things, which all despise,
Dear country homel Can forget
The least Of thy sweet tribes?
The window vines which Chamber yet,
Whose blooms the bee still rifles?
The roadside blaekberries, growing ripe,
And in the woods the Indian pipe?
Happy the man who tills the field,
Content with rustic labor;
Earth does to him her fulness yield,
Hap what may to his neighbor.
Well days, sound nights, oh, can there be
A life more rational and free?
Dear country life of child and man!
For both thetbest the strongest,
That with the earliest race began,
And hast outlived the longest,
Their cities persisted long ago;
Who the first farmers were we know.
Perhaps our Babels too, will fall;
Il so, no lamentations
For mother Earth will shelter ALL
And feed the unborn nations;
Yes, and the swords that menace now
win then be beaten to the plough

Department Circular.

J.. A. Williamson, commissioner OF the gen
eral land office at Washington, has issued an
important circular, of which the following is
the full text:
Registers and Receivers U. S. d. L. Offices:
GENTLEMEN: Hereafter, in case OF appli-
cation being made in your office to enter or
select as agricultural lands under act OF con-
gress other than the p%reemption or homestead
acts, lands returned as mineral by the sur
veyor general, you will require the applicant,
at date of final proof of location or selection,
to publish for thirty days a notice describing
the land applied for, and giving time anu
place when such proof will be submitted or
selection rendered. You will also put in
YOUR Office a copy of the notice for the same
period. Proof of the publication will consist
of the affidavit of the publisher OF the news
paper in which the notice was published, and
YOU will furnish your W certificate as to
posting in your office. The revocation OF the
Withdrawals of lands as mineral by circular
of April p, 1880, was made, not only
because said Withdrawals had in many
instances worked great hardship to settlers,
but because it is required by law that home
stead and presumption claimants shall pub
lisb notices of their intention to make final
proof on their entries, and this was thought
to afford sufficient protection TO all parties )
but in case of entries under other laws, there
is no such notice required. This precedence
will apply to cases of application to enter
under the townsite, desert and timber culture
laws: applications to select lands unde
Grants to states, railroads and wagon road
comnanies, and the location of the various
classes of script upon lands which have been
returned by the surveyor general as mineral
in character whereafter such publication of
notice has been regularly made, no afidavits
alleging the mineral character of the land md
entry, selection of location upon the filing OF
a proper non-mineral affidavit. II such mn,
eral atbdavit shall have been filed, you Will
proceed with a hearing as directed by the
circular of April ~, 1851.
Very respectfully,
j. NJ. WILLIAMSON, Com.

Police Court.

In the police court yesterday three China
men were found guilty of an attempt to evade
the payment of their city road tax, and were
each fined So and costs of suit. A third one
was arraigned for the same o~fense, but he
claimed to be under legal age, so that no con-
viction was obtained. A bystander proposed
to solve the matter by an examination of the
heathen's molars, and he was therefore put
on the stand as an expert. He could come
to no positive conclusion, however, and re-.
fusing to swear in his testimony, the celestial
was accorded his liberty.
Two white men were each fined S. and
costs, one for abusiveness and vulgarity, and
the other for assault and battery.
In Judge Barret's court yesterday, a mar
was arranged IN complaint of one McLin
OH a charge of malicious mischief. The
charge was not sustained and the defenden'
was acquitted.
