TO CHANGE THE NAME OF KANSAS.

The people of City, Missouri, want the people
of Kansas City Kansas, to change the of their
town on the claim that there should be but Kansas
City Why wouldn't it be in accordance with the
eternal fitness of things for the Missouri to give
up the that doesn't properly geographically be-
long to it? Missouri City would be appropriate
name and it would be legitimate. We could suggest a
hadozen euphonous titles for that municipality of hills
and holows prairie state not of bluffs,
gueys and PERCEPTIONS declives. in which the name
Kansas City proves another incongruty. Instead of
those Mssourians petitonng the people of Kansas City,
Kansas foreswear their abdcae the like,
would it not be more harmony with facts in
commercial relations for the Missourians to
petition be set over or within the Kansas line? OF
course there would exist upon the part of the
upright Kansan the objection being sadded up with
the tate where nothing short of $1,000 bill
goes to being closely cluched by the entacles of
an octopus whose motto is More, and faster"
Still there would be the qud consolation found
contemplation of the opportunity of taxing the
acquisition down decency. In the mean time one
surprised Sni Hills municipality should
be detected in connecting scheme looking the
changing or ;lering of the name the Sunaower

THE DREAM OF YOUTH.

youth there was, and that worthy lad,
Endued with goodly parts and lofty aim
Whereby he hoped, in such proud vestments clad,
To unto the eageheightS of fame;
Nor tempt the shadows of unIghteous shame
But in the glorious sunlight bask,
OF noble thoughts and deeds secure from blame;
An, well for boyhood's dream descending Fortunes
mask!
dreamy youth who Stunned the shout and cry,
In contemplation sought the hidden light
Nor fixed his raptured gaze beneath the sky,
Where mortal strife is doomed to scar and Dngnt;
With steadfast faith ignored the binding night,
Environment of earth, hers next Of kin,
And its curst offspring Ignorance, whose might
OF pervert strength news up in helpless sin
The angushed souls of men, who darkly walk therein.
Year after year beheld his fervid ZEAL
Compelling dark despair to clear the way;
He SKINNED with buoyant sail and steady keel
The stagnant waters of the souls delay.
On crests of mountains did his fancy play;
In upper air his visions all had BIRTH
Beyond the reach of Phoebus brightest ray
His untamed soul did span creations grth
And wildly strove burst the prison bonds of earth
Alas! for youthful dreams, that high,
Eftsoons dissolved by times relentless sway,
How often crushed to earth, with many sigh,
The cherished fancies of our early day.
On darkling EARTH consigned to slow decay,
Amid pale ashes of extnguished fires,
Once burning high with hope, long since prey
To their predestined doom7the funeral pyres
Where dropped in their heat the hopes of our
dead sires.
He lives, but springs fond buds remain unblown
Times killing frost has npped them ere the bloom;
The spreading tree in sooth has sturdier grown,
Diyergng branches now more grandly loom,
And ever, through the sunshine and the gloom,
The root, unblighted strengthens in the sod,
Though not for him the laurel and the plume.
LIES way he is content to trod-
The lowly path that leads through Nature up to God
