Newbern Notes.

The election is over. Cleveland is
elected. Newbern township rolled up
a rousing majority for the entire repub-
Gcan ticket, but she could not change
the result, and now she bows in submis-
sion to the sovereign will of the people.
We do not entertain any fears about
the colored population going back into
slavery, neither do we believe that the
democrats will bankrupt the country,
but we hope that the world is growing
wiser and better.
Our township has been making many
improvements during the last few
months. Although the farmers have
been somewhat discouraged On account
of wheat and corn being so low, yet in
no country are the farmers making more
money than those in Dickinson county.
Mrs. c. c. Sherwood's brother in Hi
nois died suddenly a short time ago. He
was here all last winter and made many
friends in Newbern.

EDITOR REFLECTOR-It seems that
that chief of the mugwumps and knight
of the hoodlums, Tom Wilson, having
at last heard the news from New York
has been meandering around among the
beautiful prairies of Cheever, probably
as tree nurseryman and with an eye to
business, which Tom always has, writ
ing up items for that great and glorious
paper, the Abilene Gazette. Now We
always knew Tom to be a genius, but
when he fabricated the story of the hare
in the haystack we wonder if he thought
of certain time when he was the hero
of fishing expedition on the placid
waters of Mud creek, where, when for
titled by some Of Rohrer's best, hitched
his steed, part on one side and part on
the other, of farmers barb wire fence;
and while getting bites and taking nips
the animal, not liking the barbs, grew
uneasy and of course broke loose. going
for thetfarmer's colt and killingit. Now,
the way the story goes, when Tom heard
the angry voice of the irate farmer call
ing him he, Cain like, hid behind a
couple of empty beer cases, (of course
cuply OHCoJ Hol lIiie VIC tHluh Odlu ndQ
beer cases to get behind, but Tom did.
When the irate farmer found him he
said-PRODUCE and Tom saw forty
good hard dollars-not go up in fire and
smoke, but merely change from his pock-
ct to that of the farmers, and as he
wandered home in the twilight he ru-
minated on the luck of fishermen in
general and his ownin particular. Now,
Mr.. Editor, we had supposed that when
Tom joined the Kansas State Militia,
he would have business enough keeping
his gun and .knapsack in order but such
is not the case. He seems to have all
the time he wants to make himself III
diculous. And he succeeds without
trying very hard, too.

Washington Irving's Description
Of Our Climate.

But while the equable English climate
agreed with Mr.. Cropsey's health, it did
not make him forget the charm of the
changeable climate of his native land,
with its many vicissitudes, which are too
often made the subject of repining. For
if these vicissitudes annoy occasionally
by changes from hot to cold, from wet to
dry, they give us-in the northern Allan
tic states, at least-one of the most beau
tIful climates in the world. "They give
u.s." says Washington Irving, "the bril-.
liant sunshine of the south of Europe,
with the fresh verdure of the north,
They float our summer sky with clouds
of gorgeous tints of fleecy wilderness, and
send down cooling showers to refresh the
painting earth and keep it green. Our
seasons are all poetical; the phenomena
of our heavens are full of sublimity and
beauty. Winter with us has none Of its
proverbial gloom. 1t may have its howl
ing winds, and thrilling frosts, and whirl-
ing snow-storms, but it has also lis long
intervals of cloudless sunshine, when the
snow-clad earth gives redoubled bright
ness to the day when at night the stars
beam with intensest lustre, or the moon
fl pods the whole landscape with her most
limpid radiance-and then the Joyous
outbreak of our spring, bursting at once
into leaf and bloom, redundant with vege.
tation and vociferous with life-and the
splendors of our summer; its morning
voluptuousness and evening glory its airy
palaces of sun-gilt clouds, piled up on a
deep azure sky and its gusts of tempest
of almost tropical grandeur, when the
frked lightning and the believing thunder
volley from the battlements of heaven and
shake the sultry atmosphere-and the
sublime melancholy of our autumn, mag
nifcent in its decay, whitening down the
pomp and pride of woodland country
yet rejecting back from its yellow forests
the golden serenity of the sky-surely we
may say that in our climate the heavens
declare the glory of God, and the firma
ment showeth his handiwork day unto
day uttereth speech, and night unto night
uttereth knowledge 1.-THE Manhattan

BANIsHED FROM MASSACHUSETTS.
TIME, 1860.

TINE, 1860.
Over the threshold Of his pleasant home,
Set in green clearings, passed the exiled Friend,
In simple trust, msdoubting not the end
Dear heart Of miue," he said, " the time has come
To trust the Lord for shelter" One long gaze
The good wife turned on each familiar thing
The lowing kline, the orchard blossoming,
The open door that showed the hearth fires blaze
And calmly answered, Yea, he will provide"
Silent and slow they crossed the homestead's bound
Lingering the longest by their childs grave.mound.
Move on, or stay and hang" the sheriff cried.
They left behind them than home or land,
And set sad faces to an alien strand.
Safer with winds and wave than human wrath,
With ravenng wolves than those whose zeal for God
Was cruelty TO man, the eIiles trod
Drear leagues Of forest without guide or path,
Or, launching frsil boats the uncharted sea,
Round storm-vexed capes, whose teeth of granite
ground
The waves to foam, their perilous way they wound,
Enduring all things 80 their souls were free.
oh, true confessors, shaming them who did
Anew the wrong their pilgrim fathers bore
For you the Mayaower spread her sail once more,
Freighted with souls, to all that duty bid
Faithful az they who sought an unknown land,
Ger wintry SEAS from Hollands Hook OF sand
Aquidneck's Isle, Nantucket's lonely shores
And 1ndian-hunted Narragansett saw
The way-worn travellers round their camp fires draw
Or heard the plsshing of their weary
And every place whereon they rested grew
Happier for pure and gracious womanbood
And men whose names for stainless honor stood,
Founders Of states and rulers wise and true.
The muse Of history yet shall make amends
To those who freedom peace and justice taught
Beyond their dark age led the van of thought,
And left unforfeited the name of Friends.

The Brides OF Venice.

1t was from the church of San Pietro
that took place the celebrated robbery of
the Brides of Venice, on the I'd of Feb
ruary, 944. On this day, the feast of the
Fabrication If the Virgin, it had been in
olden times the habit for all the marriagea-
BILE maidens to assemble before the Doge,
and there the young men chose their
brides, those who selected the pretty ones
paying certain sum to dover the ugly
ones. But as the city grew, this custom
fell into disuse, and after the marriages
had been settled by the parents of the
young people, the daughters of the city
were welded on that day at San Pietro,
taking with them each their dowry in a
little ark. Still later, when the republic
had grown rich and great, the ancient
custom became further changed only
twelve maidens were married, aud these,
chosen out of the poorest families of the
city, were lowered by the state, and
adorned for the occasion with crowns and
jewelled bresst-plates from the public
treasury, and, as before, each carried
her portion in a little ark. The procession
must have fled along the Riva del
Schiavoni, under the bright morning sun,
as all the maids had first to present them
selves to the Doge, before going to the
church, where they were met by their
bridegrooms and friends, all in their gay
est attire, and by the crowds OF Their
