BY SAMUEL RoQKR5.
From rHumsn Life I.

From "Human Lie
Then before all they stsnd-thy holy vow
And ring of gold, no fond Illusions now,
Bind her as his. Across the threshold led.
And every tear kissed Of as soon as shed.
His house she enterS,-there to be q light,
Shining within, when all without 10 night;
4 guardian angel o'er bis life presiding,
Doubling his pleasure. and his cares dividing;
Winning him back when mingling in the ethrong,
Back from world we love, alas to6long.
To fireslde happiness. to hours Of ease.
Biest with that charm. the certainty to please,
How Oft her eyes read his; her gentle mind
To all his wishes, sli his thoughts inclined;
Still subject,-ever on the watch to borrow
Mirth of his mirth and sorrow Of his sorrow
The soul of music slumbsrs in the shell,
Till walked and kindled by the masters spell,
And feeling hearts-touch them but rightly poul

ny LRIGN HUNT.

T'other day. Is was twIning
Hoses for crown to dine In.
W hat of ali things mldst the heap,
Should light on fast Asleep:
But the little desperate elf,
The tiny traitor-Love himself
By the wings pinched him up
Like . bee, and in . cup
or wine plunged and sank him.
And what dye think did drank him
Faith, thought him dead. Not he
There he lives with tenfold glee;
And now this moment. with his wiDgs,
feel him tickling my heart-strings.

In 1866 under Gov. Fletcher's admin.
istration, four of the state-aidsd rail-
roads, to.wit: The Southwest Branch
to which had been issued 81 SOC. 900 in
bonds; the Platte County road to
which had been issued 500. 600; the
Iron Mount ain aud Cairo aud Fulton to
which had been issued $3, SOL 900, were
sold to certain parties who paid $685..
900 for the Southwest Branch; $780,
geo for the Platte County. and $780,
700 for the Iron Mountain aud Cairo
and Fulton-making a total OF $780,
$50 for roads which had cost the state
So. .7O1 coo. Two years later, in 1868,
the North Missouri road, to which had
been issued 81, $500 IN state bonds,
was sold for 5000. 900, and in the same
year, the Missouri Pacific road. to
which had been issred 100000 In
state bonds, was sold for IS .0OO, 900.
To sum up: The aggregate amount Of
state bonds issued to those roads was
$20 701 900; aud the aggregate amount
received for them was $5, ,936. 800. In
this statement no account is taken of
the So .0O0. 900 bonds issued to the Han.
nibal and St. Joseph road, because
that road has never been sold under
the state lien; nor ia any account taken
o! the several millions unpaid interest
on the railroad aid bonds which the
state had to pay.
