XT THE OFFICE OF
The Kansas Emigrants.
BY J. G. WHITTIER.
We cross tho prairies as of old
The Pilgrims cross'd the sea,
To make the West, as they the East,
The homestead of the free.
,Wo go to rear a wall of men
On freedom's southern line,
And plant beside the cotton tree,
. The rugged nothern pine !
We're flowing from our native hills
As our free rivers flow ;
The blessing of our mother-hind
Is on us as we go.
We go to plant our common schools
On distant prairie swells,
And give the Sabbaths of the wild
The music of her bells.
Upbearing, like the Ark of old,
The Bible in our van,
We go to test the truth of God
Against the fraud of man.
Nopause nor rest, save where the streams
Tbat feed the Kansas run
Save where our pilgrims gonfalon
Shall float the setting eun.
We'll sweep the prairie a3 of old
Our father's swept the Eea,
And make the West as they the Ea,i,
The homestead of the free.
"Why, Bless her, let her Go."
Some time ago, I fell in lovo
With pretty Mary Jane ;
And I did hope that by and by
She'd love me back again.
Alas 1 my hopes, a dawning bright,
Were all at once made dim ;
She saw a chap, I don't know where,
And fell in love with him.!
Next time we met, (now how it was
I don't pretend to say,)
But when my chair moved up to her's
Why her's would move away.
-Before, I alwayg got a kiss,
(I own with some small fuse,)
But now, forsooth, for love nor fuu,
Twas non-come.t-a-5w&J
Well, there we sat Hand when we spoke
Our conversation dwelt
On everything beneath the sun,
Except what most we felt.
Enjoying this delightful mood,
Who there should just Btep in,
But he, of all the world whom I
Would rather see than him 1
And he would sit down by her side,
And she would all the while
He pressed her baud within bis own
Upon him sweetly smile ;
And she could pluck a rose for him,
So fresh, and bright, and red,
And gave me ono which hours ago,
Was shrunk, and pale, and dead.
And she could freely, gladly sing,
The song he did request :
The ones I asked were just the ones
She always did detect.
I rose to leave and "She'd be glad
To have me longer stay 1"
No-doubt of it ! No doubt they wept
To see me go away.
I sat me down. I thought profound,
This maxim wise I drew ;
It's easier far to like a giri,
Then make a girl liko you.
But after all I don't believe
.My heart irill break with wp ?,
'If ho's a mind to love "that chop,"
Why, bless her, let her go 1

the manufacture of a single eye employs
a large number of workmen, to each of

to this fact it is owing that the art has

Anecdote. A newspaper, printed in

the crow to depart, who happened to be
in'the humor of saying, "I'm going, I'm
going." This caused a general shout of
joy, but their merriment was considerably

'It does not follow,' she archly replied,
'that I am so because I am not to bo won

'Forgive me,' replied the suitor, 'but

Mode of Instruction.
A
thorough knowledge of the subject
we
are to teach is essential, in order to
explain it with satisfaction to the minds
of othei-3: there are however teachers who
are competent in respect to attainments, '
and who yet are unable to make good
scholars. It is no doubt true that the
faculty of communicating is in some moas- j
urc a natural gift which all do not pos-1
sess; but the remarks that I intend to
make are not so much to consider the
