The forests and groves, and even our own sweet tree-studded lawn, in front, are rapidly assuming the bright, lenfy garb, so cheerfully verdant as to wake the heart throb with delight, ns at early morn the merry wild sonters warble their joyous notes, to aw aken and encou rage the husbandman in bis honest toil, and cheer the heart that is tfd and lone ly, or oppressed with thn cares of life. If there be a real joy for mortals on earth it is those, combined with the compan ionship of a quiet home, with "wife, children and friends " and a heart to ap preciate heaven's best gifts.

To make short work of the matter we will observe that we do not know of a person in this whole frontier region, that is fearful 0(f any outrage or dcxre '.ions by thn Sioux or their allies. At Kearney city, nnd all tUe way up and down, the ranches have laid in all the oods aud supplies the- aro able to buy, and all sorts of agricultural works, building and improvements are going on regularly and rapidly, as though there was not an Indian in this quarter of the globe, and yet we learn that many are afraid to travel up this Valley for fear i of losing their very prcioui, coward ly scalps. e repeat i , tliero is no danger vhntcTcr of harm from the In dians if you lei thrin alone. . - Frost. t One n'ght last week we had quite a Tc rere frost in some localities here, and, wonderful to remark, whilst there was ice in a tub by the house, the beans, mel ons, cucumbers, and other tender plants, fairly up in the garden close by, escaped uninjured, nnd are still Dun and healthy. onv ilfttli-uay. How soon another Birthday has duwn cd sinoo a year ago! Time seems to psss with the speed of a race-horse, and we seem only to have time, after one bus passed, to count another "until it is up on us. To-day is the forty-fourth of that interesting epoch we h ive lived to witness. Indeed we can scarce credit tho fact, that time , has kept so long a standing account with us; for ns we cit here alone with our own thoughts ns companions, we feel "wo are a boy a gain," with spirits light, and agile limbs, as when in our childish, school-boy sports, few could excel us for flectness, agility, or other manly amusements. Indeed, it is hard to realize that we arc becoming old, nnd that our noon-day of life is past. Aye, to those who love and J, - , ! i i and yet where wo can look back upon J . , . , 4 . lew actions io regrec, ana wim consoi - enco void of intentional eofi'ence,we need not regret that we arc approaching Rest.
