1845 NUMBER 73 POETRY The Wife Che clung to him with woman's love Like ivy to the oak o'er his bead with crushing force chilling tempest broke And when the world looked cold on him And blight hung o'er his name She soothed his care with woman's love And bade him rise again When care had furrowed o'er his brow And clouded his y hours She wove amid a crown of thorns A wreath of love's own flowers And never did that wreath decay Or one wither For woman's tears e'er nourished them That they might bloom forever Thus ever with woman's love True nil Life's storms have passed And like the vine around the tree It braves them to the last A Parting Kiss All IB the voice of the village And silence reigns over plain Deserted the toil and tin ullage And sunk in soft slumber each The sun has long taken its flight love Tht moon has just to her Then grant a kiss All with bliss One kiss ere I bid the good night love The star of the morn like thy beauty Will fade from ni sight when the mandate

The gentleman made no objection to the I price but paid for the purchased some other articles and then departed John's indignation was now about fever heat Mr Hammet him what he would have in a very pleasant tone and smile John answered in a very unlike manner fiom his usual polite tone John ran after the gentleman with whom he was well acquainted I 1 ought to tell you sir Mr Hammet got mittens from widow Fowler cents and she almost cried when he did j not give her more He was not j to give her but 20 but he did give her in tea Are you sure that what you say is cor- rect Yes sir I was in the

before he reached the store he overtook a poor decrepid ow who walked with a crutch She her way along very slowly but John thought he would not pass her it might remind her strongly of her ity and make her feel bad I do not think it would for she had long before be- come resigned lo her lot Suli it was noble in John to have the regard for the feelings of the poor widow which was man by his

Mr Josiah living in Watervliet about four miles from this city sold on Saturday 2000 bushels of wheat raised on his farm where he resides for flouring at the Mill at cenis We saw a sample of the wheat and must sav we never saw finer raised in any part of the United States It will it is judged average over 62 to the bushel Mr Stanford has raised for two or three years past large crops of wheat for which he has received the highest prices paid in this market Mr Standford is scientific as well as a practical farmer and de- serves great credit for the vigor which he imparts to the farming

elapsed that had been threatened of testing he speaks any when he caravans which irace from St Louis to Santa Fe have to pass completely through the Creek Choctaw and C Indian tribes If the Indians have arrived at a sufficient degree of civilization this should be done as it would give to the Indian habitants a new incentive to make further advances in education civilization and assimilate their

did not gel down from his perch when the widow en- tered or notice her in any way She stood by the counter in silence nnd he kept looking out of the window At last she spoke 1 want you to lake these mittens and let me have some tea if you will Mr Hammet then slid slowly off from his stool and came and took up the tens and casting a hasty glance at them threw them down saying in a ing tone and how

additional labor to dealing with the oppressor of tho widow When he made any purchases and was carrying it home he would walk very slowly when he passed Mr store hat he might see him I am not sure but there was some wrong feeling in this and I am quite sure there was something wrong in the reply John made to Mr once when he spoke to him Mr II was standing in the door as John was going by from the other store with a load of things mons why do you always pass me by Didn't you buy a pair of mittens of widow said John in a bitter tone and with a look of the eye Mr Hammet blushed and went into the store John was sorry that he said it as soon as it had parsed his lips and the more he thought of it the more sorry he was till war ere the common came upon three hundred in a difficult rocky piece of
