If you.oatoh a breath of sweetness,

And follow the odorous hint
Through the woods whore dead:leaves rare,
And the golden mosses glint,
Along the spicy sea-coast,
Over the desolate down,
You will find the dainty May-flowers
When you come to Plymouth town.
When the shy Spring tends her darlings,
And hides them away from sight
Pull off the covering leaf-sprays,
And'gather them, pink and white,
Tinted by mystical moonlight,
Freshened by frosty dew,
Till th 6 fair, transparent blossoms
To their puro perfection grow.
Then, carry th em , hotue.to your lady,
For flower of the spring is she,—
Pink and white, and dainty and slight,
And lovely as lovely eau be.
Shall they die because she is fair,
Or live because abo is sweet?
_They will know for which they were born,
But sou—=must wait at hqF feet.
• Louise Chandler Moulton
Mr. Van Gelder promised "Lad"
that I 'would answer, this week, his
question about Nemesis, though I do
not see that the public can have any in
terest in the subject, or that it has any
connection with the shirt of Nessus,
except in connection with the queer
mistake of your compositor ; nor do I
see how it has any connection with the
subject -of Temperance, out of which
this matter seems to have grown. It
may have, however, notwithstanding.
Nemesis was a Greek goddess., Some
one describes her as the first daughter
of Night, and some of the old Greek
write7iisay she was the daughter of Er
ebus and Nyx. -Now Erebus and Nyx
were brother and sister, and this story
must fall to the ground, or we must ad
mit that the old Greek gods .and god
desses were queer sorts of immortals.—
The oldest Greek writers speak of her
as very beautiful, being a rival in that
respect of Aphrodite, the acknowledged
queen of 'beauty. They also speak of
her as being very pure and conscien
tious. She was said to be a very impar
tial goddess, dealing favors to all alike,
and so rigorously just that she took
from the rich and gave to the poor ;
thus favoring the doctrine of the anti
monopolists.
II .13.
The later Greek Writers, however,_ do
not speak so well of her. They say
that she was a goddess, enviefis of hu
awl happiness, and upset the rich, not
because'she wished to bless the poor,
but because she hated the rich. She
was, thence, represented as revengeful,
and many called her "the goddess of
revenge." She was also represented as
having a countenance on which• were
written,. in lineaments not to be mista
ken, hatred, revenge and ill will ; and
has even been very ungallantly .called
" the revengeful old hag." The fact Is,
that she was a 'very `fine looking girl
when she was young, very frolicksome
and loving, but very pure; and, there
fore, became very unpopular with some
of the young gods of an une id char
acter; and so they threwo it insinua
tions against her. This a d other
1 1
things, such as the incre e of years
and her failing to get marrie , made her
grow, as'she grew old, gra , e, serious,
and, perhaps, sometimes, her more
melancholy moods, somewhat forbid
ding; and it may be that, as is the case
sometimes with us mortals, she became
a little soured and revengeful.
She was, if the latter is true, very
much like mortals. A great many' be
gin right, are very zealous for all that
is good, never think or do wrong, and
have countenances on ;which goodness
is painted in unmistakable colors, and
in the dimples of which love for hu
manity dances like fairies on the petals
of a flower in fairy realm. They grow
up, get acquainted with the world, try
to regulate the affairs of others as Nem
esis did ; make mistakes, lose temper,
become ambitious, take injudicious/
steps, see the object of their ambition /
fading aWay in the distance; sour, grow
lulu, bebotne a little revengeful, and
nally die with a stain upon their cha
racter, Mich a little more care and a
ittle leas ambition might have preven
ed.
various
Our individual opinion is that 'Nem
•sis was a very fair sort of a goddess,
very gooO'looking, with very od in
tentions i but, as slip grew Up a d felt
ambitioub to form a good matri onial
alliance, she once or twice forgot that
" right Is right always," resorted to ex
pediency, and thus slightly tarnished
her Character.
What became of Nemesis in the end,
I do not know; but as\khe immortals
never die, I suppose she iyes still, in
some remote and dark cOrtie ‘ r of •that
w
mythological region, into, ich sci
ence never penetrates, and wh •e the
light of the new dispensation i .ver
shines. Peace be to her memory. • Let
us remember her as the beautiful nnd\
pure minded goddess, and throw over
her few erro rs the cloak that covers
even a multitude of sins.

as those of aneitMal and" St. Donis,‘
both of. Fhb% cities, iii their incipien
cy; had Wee fully as broken and une
ven. The town made pry slow pro
gress until 1858; When it ouddenly com
menced to grow, and matte rapid strides
In growth until 1880, when the bard
times and the threatening aspect of the
political horizon checked its growth.—
At the outbreak of the war, the popu
lation of Kansas City Was a little over
7,000. During the war it lost its trade
to a great - extent, and its population
was reduced one-half. TO its credit, be
it said, Kansas City has maintained a
reputatiorefor loyalty to the U. States
Government unsurpassed in the State,
it having elected a loyal city govern
ment every year of the war, beside
sending to the Union army over 1200
men. In 4865 the business of Kansas
City began to revive, and within one
year her population reached the highest
number ever claimed before the war.—
Improvements of all kinds were made
with unparalleled rapidity, the trade of
New Mexico, southern Kansas a n d
western Missouri returned, her system
of public improvements was taken up
where it had been suspended in 1801,
and before the year 1860 bad rolled by,
scarcely h trace of the war existed. At
the present tioa4 the population of Kan
sas City exceeds 88,000. She has nine
finished railroads in operation, and two
projectSd Hues not yet completed, mak
ing Kansas City the grand railroad cen
ter of the southwest. Kansas City has
the honor of building the first bridge
across the Missouri, which was com
pleted in Julie, 1869, and formally open
ed July 3d•of the same year, being wit
nessed by over 50,000 people. It was
built by a company of which James F.
Joy was the President, the work being
carried on Under the immediate direc
tion of Mr,l 0. Chanute, chief engi
neer.! The -total length of the bridge is
1,887 feet. - The railroad reaches the
north span by passing over trestle
work 2,360 feet in length, the grade
Elraising on foot in a hundred from an
embankment; while upon the south or
Kansaspity aide, an excavation in the
bluff carries the road around a sharp
curve to the West, where a junction is
made with the western and southern
roads.' Although intended for a rail
road bridge, it ismeed for highway tilt
vel and traffic, '• being paved with the
Nicholson pavement.

tions in regard to Kansas City, I will

HOMESTEADS FOR SOLDIERS.
CONDI t TIONS UPON WHICH TO DE SECURED.
A large number of our subscribers
are interested in •the law of Congress
donating land to discharged solillers.
A correspondent of the Quincey Whig
asks tim i guestl4
wenrake a selection previous
to settling on it, and bow long?
2. What is the total cost of receiving
the title from the Government?
3. Can we settle on alternate railroad
land?
1
4.;1s there any specified location to
settle ? 1
In answer to the inquiries, the IVhig
publishes the circular of the Commis
sioner of Pubhe Lands, and then an
swers them in detail, thus :
1. That the applicant fora homestead
can make a selection previous to set
tling on public land, the condition be
ing that !it shall be unoccupied and sub
ject to entry ; but actual settlement
must be made in order to hold the laud,
and it must be occupied and cultivated
continuously for five years before final
proof can be made and a Complete title
obtained. The final proof must be
made within two years after the expi
ration of the five years' occupation re=
quired to givethe right of homestead:
2. The cost o r securing a title from
the Government differs in different sec
tions of the Union. In the States and
Territories east of the Rocky Moun
thins, (except the Territories of Monta
na and Wyoming ,) i it includes a fee of e
$lO when the ntry is made, with $4
commission paYable at the same time,
and $4 more for final proof—a total of
$lB when the certificate issues, for eve
ry tract of 160 acres, when the land is
not within the range of railroad grant;
but when entries, aro made on lands
whose minimum price is $2 60 per acre,
(on rallioad lands,) the commissions
are double the above; while the fee re
mains tho'same, viz: fee, $10; commis
sion at entry, $8 on issue of certificate,
$8; total; $2B. In Wyoming and Mon
tana, and the States and Territories
west of the Rocky Mountains, the fee
is the same as elSewhere, but the com
missions aro increased fifty per cent.
over those speeified above for other sec
tions of the Uni l on.
3J You can settle on alternate sections
of railroad landsHmeaning thereby the
sections whose title still remains in the
GoVernment an 4 which are subject to
entry at $2 50 per acre.
\ 4. There is n 4 specified' location or
t*ritory to be settled in this way, the
only \ condition bping that the applicant
shalt a r discharged soldier or sailor,
and th ,lands belonging to the Gov
ernment ' nd subjeet k to entry.
In all tliTzt, actual settlement and
cultivation are \ iridispensable to the/per
fection of title. \

A TROPICAL EDEN-
M. Movelet, in I is " Travels in Cen
tral America," gives the 'following
sketch of the town of Flores, an island
town in the lake of Peten :
" lu the streets of Flores there are
neither shops nor artisans ; there is no
market even; every one depends on his
own production, or on such exchanges
as he may be able to make with his
neighbors,:for his food. If any one has
need of money, he prepares some•-arti
cle of domestic consumption, such as
chocolate, bread or candles, and sends
his children about with them, from hut
to hut,: in search of a purchaser. At
long intervals, some enterprising' man
among them takes a cow or horse tb Be
lize;'and exchanges it there for a petty
package of English' goods. Very little
suffices for a population whose only am
bition is to live without labor. Eure
pean activity, which unceasingly ap
plies itself to the accumulation of more
wealth, could not be comprehended by
the inhabitants of Peten ; but, on the
other hand, they are ignorant of the
infinite annoyances which follow on
the laborious fermentation of the Old
World. No one here ever thinks of
speculation as a . means of acquiring
wealth. Destitute of -ambition, and
without strong passion of any kind, the
certainty of a eufficiencY for bare exis
tence is all they require to make them
happy and this certainly is assured to
them by the extent and the fertility 4if
the lands by which they are surround
ed. Possession is the only title to the
soil which they recognize. Any one
who clears a piece of ground makes use
of it as he pleases, and if any dispute
arises as to its ownership, it is soon set
tled by the paternal authority of the
corregidor. However, there is this ad
vantage in Flores, that instead of one's
ears being deafened by the discordant
sounds of the hammer and the sugar
mill, they are filled constantly with the
harmony of musical instruments. As
soon as the sun goes down and the eve
ning breeze sets in„the town is full *of
sounds of mirth and hilarity, which
continue until the night is far advanced.
And thus life ebbs Sway in the midst of
perfect quiet, and in utter ind t tfferenee
as to what the future may bri g forth.
The desire' for novelty, improvement,
or change, never enters into the thou'ts
of the inhabitants. Every one having
x 4 eceived the same amount of education,
and enjoying in an equal degree the
privilege of doing nothing, the, most
perfect equality exietsinsociety, which
is not, troubled by the pretensions of its
members on the score of birth, learning
or . fortune.
" Few days pass consecutively in
Flores without the sound of the marim
ba inviting its inhabitants to, some new
festivity. No other form of invitation
is extended. The door is open for all.
The spectators assemble in groups a
round the entrance, looking on' with
democratic freedom, and making their
comments aloud. There you see the
alcalde or the corregidor alternating In
the same fandango with the meanest
citizen. '.The to succeeds the
daughter, the negress the white woman.
Rank, age, caste—all the' conditions
Which elsewhere separate society—seem
to be confounded here. Persons giving
parties do the honors of the house, in
the most unpretentious manner possi
ble ; a dozen candles, a supply of chairs
collected from a dozen neighboring hou
ses, a few homely refreshments, ,and
the engagement of one or two perform
ers on the marimba, constitute the en
tire preparations. Our notions of deli
cacy occasionally receive something of
a shock from certain customs here,
which, to say the least, are of an ex
tremely primitive character. The same
glass, for instance, circulates among the
guests until drained, while a spoon al
ternates °from hand to hand; with the
same jar of sweetmeats. Nor do the
ladies, after the fatigues of dancing,
hesitate to recuperate their energies
through the aid of ,a glass of rum, at
the same time lighting a cigar, of size
and strength sufficient to turn the sto
mach of our hardest smokers."
HUNTING BUFFALO
A Western paper gives the {following
acco6ut of hunting buffalo fol• market :
" At present, huipting buffaio fo`r mar
ket has become a regular trade, 1113d * ail
along the railroad route the business is
carried on. A party generally consists
of four persons, at the outside six; with
one head hunter, who employs the men,
and who always has a wagon with its
team of rough Indian ponies.

A Nanking Bird and-a Snake.
A. correspondent of the .Martli. and
Home related , the following incident
which occurred on hie place:
" One beautiful Sunday morning,. in
the early spiing of lait year, while
walking with -my little daughter in a
field near our house, we observed - a
butcher bird flying to and fro among
the bushes near a spring of water, and
evidently in great fear. After watch
ing its motion for some time, we con
cluded to go nearer and see what was
the cause of all its troubles. We had
hardly reached the spot, when a mock
ing bird swooped doWn as quick as a
flash and struck a large spreading ad-.
der which was on the ground near the
bushes, and which no doubtsoon would
have had the butcher bird in its fangs.
Again and again did this game blid
light on the snake's bank and strike
d&I) into it with its beak, The battle
was a long one, and thinking it might
'be- lost to the bird, I sent my little
daughter for the hoe, and quickly dis
patched the reptile. ,
"The mocking bird does: not know
what fear is. It wip • attack any bird
that files. Often A li ve I seen it sally
out against the has'k, and make that
chicken stealer leave the vicinity very
fast. Let a mocking bird build near
your house, and your young chickens
have a good protector. It will disperse
a" whole army of crows; and should
your dog go anywhere near Its neat, he
is pounced upon and ordered to leave.
Whey are not afraid of man, and seem
know that he will not harm them.
A pair of these birds build every year
.L
in a peach tree near to the house, and,
from early morning till late at night,
and sometimes all night when the moon;
is shrning, y i ou hear the notes of this'
matchless songster. Its 'favorite posi
tion when singing ? is on the very top
'shoot: of a small tree. -T_iere, resting,
and appearing as if tranefixed by the
shoot, it warbles that splendid medley
that art sometimes imitates,. but never
equals."
