SONG OF THE FLOWER GIRI.
BY H. CLAY PREITSIS
I heir(' flowers ! I have flowers!
Of the richest, rarest hue ;
From the rose's blushing carmine
•
To the violet's heaven-blue.
Here's the !illy of the valley
Franc the wildwood's secret place,
Where the sun scam ever kisses
Its alabaster face :
And here's the haughty dahlia,
As peerless as a queen ;
And d,aff,dils and dasies,
With the constant evergreen.
Oh, the flo.gers ! oh, the flowers!
Fresh from their woodland bowers
Will you buy my pretty flowers,
My pretty, charming flowers?
hrie flowers! and I've plucked them
From places far and wide ;
In the shadows of the ravine,
By the sunny mountain side.
I.,seized them mid their revels
In the joyous woodland sir,
And I bring them blushing oaptives
To grace the maiden fair.
Poor little orphan children,
Torn from their parent stem ;
Bright miniatures of angels—
Would we were like to them! •
Oh, the flowers! oh, the flowers'
.Gentle Indy, will you buy
My flowers sweet and wild?
They are the only stay that's loft
A friendless orphan child
My father was a soldier:
In hie o untry's cause he died;
My mother broken hearted
Now slumbers by hie side.
My little blue eyed brother too
Has gone to the spirit world [whirl] ;
And I um_ i left alone on earth—

OUR COMMON SCUOOLS.
SKETCHES FROM MY NOTE BOOK
NO. H-ECUDOL HOUSES
According to the instructions received
from the State Department, during my
visitation last year, I made a record of the
School houses—size—material—condition,
&c., and from these data, graded them into
three classes. No. 1 being the best, No.
2 middling, and No. 3 unfit fur use. In
the first class we placed all houses of suf
ficient size—built substantially and dura
bly, and containing comfortable furniture
within. In the second class we placed
those that were rather small, or built on
the saving plan too much, or in need of
repair or internal remodeling, or defective
in some essential points, or badly furnished
inside, &c. Of course, we cannot detail
all the particulars upon which our judg
ment was based, but the above are the
principal. In the third class aro put those
that are unseawor, hy in every point—mere
shells—not fit for the sojourn of children,
and some not even fit for sheep stables.—
Of course, in making out the tabular state
ment below, we often found ourselves per
plexed. Houses there are of almost in
finite variety, and sometimes it was difficult
to determine on which side of our imaginary
lino a given house stood. Some houses
not widely different are placed, for this
cause, in different classes. Generally,
however, it will be found that we have
strongly inclined to the side of leniency,
and perhaps erred in this direction. About
seventeen new houses have been erected
during the past year. One half of these
are included in. the tables; of the others,
no re:•ord has yet been made. With these
explanatory remarks, it is hoped the sub
joined statistics will be intelligible to all :

calling themselves parents. The day is
coming, we trust, when such men will be
wiser and show at least equal attention to
the training and culture of the bodies
t .
minds and souls of their offspring, as they
do to the rearing and care of their colts
and calves.
By a reference to the tables it will be
seen by one at all conversant with school
affairs, that some of the best districts are
poorly rated in their houses. The princi
pal reason for this will be found in the
fact, that these districts voluntarily adopt,-
ed the school system years ago, and as it
was then only an experiment and bitterly
opposed, the cheapest form of house was
_adopted. These are now decaying—many
have been replaced and many more are
loudly demanding reform. In some of
those districts which received it only when
made compulsory—a more modern plan of
structure was obtained, and they are now
provided with suitable and creditable
structures. The greater part, say three
, fourths of the houses marked No. 1, have
been built or remodeled since 1854. This
praiseworthy effort to provide proper rooms
has interfered very seriously in the ad
vancement of the schools in some other
respects, and this must continue yet in
some places for a few years. Some dis
tricts have good houses and are out of debt.
West Lampeter, as soon as she found ho:r
self in this condition, appointed eight
months of school and a salary of $3O per
month. We are looking thi- year for
others to follow her example.
Most of the houses erected during the
past year manifest a liberal and enlighten
ed policy on the part of Directors. There
is, I believe, but one miserable exception
to this remark. The house to which we
refer, is built in the midst of a craggy,
rocky lodge, with scarce a foot of ground
visible, floor low, joists scarce seven feet
high, walls as wet when I visited it as wet
blankets. The only redeeming feature to
me was that it was not plastered above,
and thus the whole garret became a ventil
ator ; and the only plea urged by the Di
rectors in extenuation of such a nuisance
was, that it was cheap !
Many other thoughts crowd our mind
in connection with this subject, but we
must forbear, for the present.

DANIDL BOON.
Of all men saving Scylla the man-slayer,
Who passes for in life and death most lucky,
Of the great names which in our faces stare,
The General Boon, backwoodsman of Kentucky,
Was happiest in life and death ho,
For killing nothing but a boar or book he,
Enjoyed the lonely, vigorous, harmless days
Of his old days in wilds of deepest maze.
So says Byron ; Bancroft gives the fol
lowing sketch of the Kentucky patriarch :
In his peaceful habitation on the Yada
akin river in N.C., Daniel Boon, the illus
trious hunter, had heard Finley, a trader,
so memorable as a pioneer, describe a tract
of land west of Virginia, as the richest in
North America,, or iu the world. In May,
1779, leaving his wife and offspring, having
Finley as his pilot, and four others as his
companions, the young man of about three
and twenty wandered throughthe wilderness
of America, bin quest of the country of Ken
tucky,' known to the savages as r the Dark
and Bloody Ground,' 'the Mid lie Ground,'
between the subjects of the Five Nations
and the Cherokees. After a lung and
fatiguing journey through mountain ranges,
the party found themselves in June, on the
Red Bank, a tributary to the Kentucky,
and from the eminence surveyed with de
light the beautiful plain that stretched to
the northwest. Here they built their
shelter, and began to reconnoitre and to
hunt. All the kinds of wild beasts that
were natural to America—the stately elk,
the timid deer, the antlered stag, the wild
cat, the bear, the panther, and wolf—
crouched among the canes, or roamed over
the rich grasses, which, even beneath the
thickest shades, sprang luxuriantly out of
the generous soil. The buffaloes crepped
fearlessly the herbage, or browsed on the,
leaves of the reed, and were more frequent
than cattle in a settlement of Carolina
herdsmen. Sometimes there were hun
dreds in a drove, and round the salt licks
the .number was amazing.
The summer, in which, for the first time,
a party of white men enjoyed the brilliancy
of nature near and in the valley of Elk
horn, pssed away ;n the occupations of the '
exploring parties and the chase. But one
by one Boon's party dropped off, till he
was left alone with John Stewart. They
jointly found unceasing delight in the
wonders of the forest, till one evening,
near the Kentucky river, they were taken
prisoners by a band of Indians, wanderers
like themselves. They escaped and were
joined by Boon's hrother ; so that when
Stewart was soon after killed by the sava
ages, the first victim among the hecatomb
of white men alai by them in their des
perate battling fhr the lovely hunting
ground, Boon still had his brother to
share with him the dangers and attractions
of the wilderness, they building and occu
pying the first cottage in Kentucky. •
In the spring of 1770, that brother re
turned to the settlements for horses and
supplies of ammunitions, leaving the re- ,
nowned hunter 'by himself, without bread,'
or salt, or sugar, or even a horse or dog.'
6 The idea of a beloved wife,' anxious for
his safety, tinged his thoughts with sad
ness ; but otherwise the cheerful medita
tive man, careless of wealth, knowing the
use of the rifle, not the plough, of 0, strong
robust frame, in the vigorous health of
early manhood, ignorant of books, buts
versed in the forest life, even fond of track
ing the deer on foot away from men, yet
in his disposition, humane, generous and'
gentle, was happy in the uninterrupted ;
succession of 'sylvan pleasure.'
One calm summer's evening, as he
climbed a commanding ridge, and looked
upon the remote ' venerable mountains,'
and the nearer ample plains, he caught a
glimpse in the distance of the Ohio, which
bounded the land of his affections with
magic grandeur, his heart exalted in the
region he had discovered. All things
were still.' Not a breeze so much as shook
a leaf. He kindled a fire near a fountain
of sweet water, and feasted on the loin of
a buck. He was no more alone than the
bee among the flowers, but communed fa
miliarly with the whole universe of life.—
Nature was his intimate, and as the roving
woodsman leaned confidingly on her bosom,
she responded to his intelligence.
For him the rocks and fountains, the
leaf and the blades of grass, had life ; the
cooling air laden with the rich perfume,
came to him as a friend ; the dewy morn
ing wrapped him in its embrace; the trees
stood up gloriously round about him as so
191 161 47

many, myriads of companions. All wore
the - character or design of peril. But how
could he be afraid ? Triumphing over
danger, he knew no fear. The perpetual
howling of the wolves by night round his
vOttage, or his bivouac in the brake, was
his diversion ; and by day he had joy in
surveying the various species of animals
that surrounded him. He loved the soli
tude better than the towered city or the
bum of business.
Near the end of July, 1770, his faithful
brother came back to meet him at the old
camp. Shortly after they proceeded to
Cumberland river, giving names to the dif
ferent waters, and then returned to his
wife and children, fixed in his purpose at
the risk of his life and fortune, to bring
them as soon as possible to live in Ken
tucky, which he esteemed a second Para - -
dise.
MIZE WASAILTOR MAIDEN
Sometime just before or about the be
ginning of the revolutionary war, Sergant
Jasper, of Marion's Brigade, had the good
fortune to save the life of a young, beauti
ful and dark-eyed creole girl called Sally
St. Clair. Her susceptible nature was
overcome with gratitude to her preserver,
and this soon ripened into a passion of love,
of the most deep and fervent kind. She
lavished upon him the whole wealth of her
affections, and the whole depth of passion
nurtured by a Southern sun. When he
was called upon to join the ranks of his
country's defenders, the prospect of their
separation almost maddened her. Their
partin.,: came 3 but scarcely was she left
alone, ere her romantic nature prompted
the means of re-union. Once resolved, no
consideration of danger could dampen her
spirit, and thought of consequence could
move her purpose. She severed her long
and jetty ringlets, and provided herself,
and set forth to follow the fortunes of her
lover.
A smooth-faced, beautiful and delicate
stripling appeared among the hardy, rough
and giant frames who composed the corps
to which Jasper belonged. The contrast
between the stripling and these men, in
their uncouth garbs, their massive faces,
embrowned and discolored by the sun and
pain, was indeed striking. But none were
more eager for the battle, or so indifferent
to fatigue as the fair faced boy. It was
found that his energy of character, resolu
tion and courage, amply supplied his lack
of peysique. None ever suspected that she
was a woman. Not even Jasper himself,
although she was often by his side, pene
trated her with kindness and respect, and
often applauded her heroic bravery. The
romance of her situation increased the
fervor of her passion. It was her delight
to reflect that, unknown to him, she was
by his side to watch over him, in the hour
of danger. She had fed her passion by
gazing upon him in the hour of slumber ;
hovering near him when stealing through
the swamp and thicket, and always ready
to avert danger from his head.
But gradually there stole a melancholy
presentiment over the poor girl's mind.—
She bad been tortured with hopes deferred
the war was prolonged, and the prospect
of being restored to him grew more and
more uncertain. But now she felt that her
dream of happiness could never be realized.
She became convicted that death was about
to snatch her away from his side ; but she
prayed that she might die, and he never
know to what length the violence of her
passion bad led her.
It was the eve before a battle. The
camp had sunk into a repose. The watch
tires were burning low, and only the slow
tread of sentinels fell upon the profound
silence of the night air as they moved
through the dark shadows of the forest.—
Stretched upon the ground, with no other
couch than a blanket, reposed' the warlike
form of Jasper. Climbing vines trailed
themselves into a canopy above his head,
through which the stare shone down softly.
The faint flicker from the expiring embers
of fire fell athwart his countenance, and
tinged the cheek of one who bent 'above his
couch. It was the smoothed faced stripling
She bent low down, as if to listen to his
dreams or to breath into his soul pleasant
visions of love and happiness. But tears
traced themselves down the fair one's
cheek, and fall silently but rapidly upon
the brow of her lover. A mysterious voice
has told that the hour of parting has come;
that to-morrow her destiny is consummated.
There is one last, long, lingering look, and
the unhappy maiden is seen to tear herself
away from the spot, to weep out her sorrows
in privacy.
Fierce and terrible is the conflict that
on the morrow rages on that spot. Fore
most in tat battle is the intrepid Jasper,
and every his side fights the stripling
warrior. Often, during the heat and the
smoke gleams suddenly upon the eyes of
Jasper the melancholly face of the maiden.
In the thickest of the fight, surrounded by
enemies, the lovers fight side by side.—
Suddenly a lance is leveled at the breast
of Jasper; but swifter than the lance is
Sally St. Clair. There is a wild cry, and
at the feet of Jasper sinks the maiden,
with the life-blood gushiag from her white
, bosom. He heeds not the din or the danger
of the conflict ; but down by the side of
the dying boy he kneels. Then, for the
first time, does he learn that the stripling
is his love ; that often by the camp-fire,
and in the swamp, she has been by his side;
that the dim visions in his slumber, of an
angel face hovering above him, had indeed
been true. In the midst of the battle, with
her lover by her side, and the barb still in
her bosom, the heroin maiden dies!
Her name, her sex and her noble devo
tion soon became known through the corps.
There was a tearful group gathered around
her grave ; there was not of these hardy
warriors one who did not bedewd her grave
with tears. They buried her near the
river Santee, , g in a green shady nook, that
I looked as if it had been stolen out of Par
adise."
HORRIBLE SCENES IN SONORA-A Church
Full of Women and Children Burned Alive !
The Yaqui Indians are at war with the people
of Sonora, Lower California. These Indians
entered Santa Cruz de Mayo and killed every
man there was in it, got all the women and
children together, shut them up in the church
and set fire to it, and the rest of the town.—
At a battle fought on a plain, called El San
cito between Guy. Pesquiera and Don Jesus
Gandara, the ik katter was totally defeated, and
himself killeu in the action, and also three of
hie principal officers taken prisoners and shot
on the following day. This occurred on the
23d of February last. The troops are now at
the river Yaqui, and have intentions of killing
men, women and children, and stealing all the
eattle and corn they can lay their hands on.

Commissioners should act in concert in all
their proceedings. The President, above
alt things, desires that there should be a
fair expression of the popular will on this
important question ; and that any person
who may commit or attempt to commit the
frauds punishable under the- act may be
prosecuted with the utmost rigor of the
law. It is to be hoped that the people of
Kansas, relieved from all outside-influences,
may be left to decide the question for
themselves, whether they will immediately

of the act, or will remain in a Territorial
condition until their population is equ 11 to

Enclosed herewith you will receive four
copies of the act referred to, one of which
you will send to each of the Commissioners
named in the act, in order that they may
be properly informed of their designations.
At the same time, you will provide for an
early meeting of the Commissioners, so
that the election required by the act may
take place without unnecessary delay, and
that all suitable arrangements may be
made for this purpose. The President
earnestly hopes that these arrangements
will be successful in securing a free and
fair election, and that at the present im

NORTHERN CENTRAL RAILROAD.—We are
gratified to learn, from an authentic source,
that the Northern Central Railroad, will be
finished and cars running to Sunbury by the
first of July next. This gives an unbroken
line by rail from Harrisburg to Williamsport,
and thence to the roads of western New York.
The time to Niagara Falls will then be redo•
ced to about 12 hours, and to Erie to less than
sixteen hours.
The completion of the Northern Central will ,
be an era worthy of remembrance. The stock- ,
holders and officers have "persevered under
difficulties" in the prosecution of their enter
prise, steadily and confidently, notwithstand
ing the financial collapse, until its consumma
tion is placed beyond a doubt. Their bridge
tomes the Susquehanna, at Dauphin, near a
mile in length, is one of the most stupendous
and substantial structures in. the country; and
the other portions of their work, including
bridges, roadway and tracks have an appear
ance of strength, solidity and permanence
highly creditable to the engineers and contract
, tors. That a rich reward awaits .the parties
interested, no one acquainted with the advan
tages of the line; will question.—Keystone.
