Were th lonely acorn never bound
In th nide cold grasp of the rotting ground;
Did the rigid frost never harden up
The mould above Its bursting cup ;
: Were it never soak'd In the rain and hall,
Or ehlird by the breath of the wintry gale,
It would not sprout in the sunshine free,
' Or give the prom ise of a tree ; . '
It would not spread to th summer air
Its lengthening boughs and branches fair,
To form a bower where in starry nights,
Younglove might dream unknown delights )
Or stand in the woods among Its peers,
Fed by the dews of a thousand years.
Were never Hie dull, unseemly ore
Dragg'd from th depth wher it slept of
Were it never cast Into searching flame,
To be purged of im- urity and shame;
i Were it never moisten 'mid burning brands,
Or bruis'd and beaten by stalwart hands,
It would never be known as a thing of worth;
It would never emerge to a nobler birth ;
It would never be form'd Into mystic rings
To fetter love's erratic wings ;
It would never shine amid priceless gems,
On the girth of imperial diadems ;
Nor become to the world a power and a pride
' Cherished, adored and defied.
So thoit, O man of a noble soul,
Btarlliiii in view of a glorious goal,
Wert thou never exposed to the blasts for
lorn . The storms of sorrow th sleets of scorn
- Wert thou never refined in pitiless fire,
. From the dross of thy sloth and mean desire;
Wert thou never taught to feel and know
That the truest love has it roots in woe,
Thou wouldst never unriddle the complex
plan,
Or reach half way to th perfect man ;
Thou wouldst never attain th tranquil
height
Where wisdom purifies the sight,
And God unfolds to th humblest gaz
The bliss and beauty of Hi ways.
. Our Native Land.
BY MRS. JANR MARIA MCAI.
Our dear native land with a palace or cot
Be th climate serene, or all f riged the spot
'Mid Amo's green vales, or the desert's hot
sand
The sweetest of climes Is our dear native land.
Though ever ao rugged, and wintry, and wild,
Who love not the sod that ha loved when a
child?
Who loves not the wood, where in boyhood he
strayed?
The green, where he aported, the games that
he played ? i
The stream, that rushed down from its home
in the hill?
The river, that rolled by the clattering mill ?
Th dam, the little fish o'erleaptd iu their
play?
The rock, shooting up through a tempest of
spray?
The sacred old homestead, all shorn of ita
pride, .
Where loved ones were born, and lamented
ones died?
The hay-mow, the garden, the orci.Jrd, the
well,
With its cool dripping waters, that chimed as
they fell?
A light gilds the wave where he tossed the
. . first book,
To eatch the bright minnows that glanced
tli rough th brook ;
His time-sobered pulses with boyhood re
V thrill,
Where shot his fleet aled down the snow-cov-.
ered hill ;
Where, pausing at morn, on his pathway to
. school,
Hs plied his new skates on the lee-coated
pool,
Or waded the drift that were piled by the
storm,
To limn the white banks with his frolicsome
. form.
Oh, mem'ry paints raptures that manhood, in
vain,
Woidd barter the wealth of the world to re-
, ' gainl '
And clothes with a halo of beauty and truth,
The friends o his boyhood, the home of his
youth.
Though life may have charms on a far for
. eign shore, ...
lie sighs, a he asks : - Shall I see them no
mora?"
An alien, 'mid acen th most lovely or grand,
The heait has no borne but Ita dear native
land.
A question has been raised in one of
our courts, whether a blind man can be
made liable far a bill payable at sight,
The lawyer t p ptuzled.

From the Florence Courier.
Valley of Hie IMalte and Loup
Fork.-" Agricultural St at 1st lea.
Ed. Courier. In order that the sta
tistics and estimates which I am nbuul to
preuent to your readers inny lie clearly
understood, I nhnll civo a rery brief de
scription of the Valley, and a short histo
ry of its first settlement.
That section to which this communica
tion more directly refers, is nituatud be
tween the. Elkhorn river (about twenty
miles west of 1-lorence) and denoa (on
the north side of the 1'lntte and Loup
Fork Rivers,) comprising a tract of lund
extending about eighty miles east and
west, and from three to seven miles north
and south, fretnont is the nrsi settle
ment in the Valley, almut fourteen miles
west of the Elkhorn, leaving the tract
less than seventy miles in length. The
settlements and improvements confined
within these bounduries only are recogniz
ed m the statistics. Some rery important
and thriving settlements have already been
made in the immediate neighborhood, for
ming very valuable tributaries to the Vul
ley ; but as they are outside, I shnll pass
them by. The country is perfectly level,
the soil of a rich, loamy character, well
watered, and containing plenty of good
heavy limber. It is well adapted to agri
cultural purposes, as has been fully demon
strated lust Summer.
The first claim was staked out on the
tenth of May, 18.30, by Geo. Emerson.
On the 19th of the same mouth he moved
on to it with his family. His was the
first family that settled west of the Elk
horn. ' In order to reach his claim, he
was compelled to go to Fontenelle, then
cross with his goods in two canoes, swim
the cattle across, and draw the wagon
over by ropes. Isaac Albertson made a
claim on Shell Creek, some six miles
further west, on the same day, but did
not bring his family out until the next
Fall. During that Summer but few set
tlements were made, and not more than
twenty familip remained there over win
ter. But little was clone in the way of
improvements building or breaking.
Indeed, it may be said that the work of
improvement and permanent settlements
did not commence until the Spring of
1857.
Owing to the lateness of the Spring,
which all rery well remember, but few
persons could get out to their claims before
the latter part of May. Their cattle
were then nearly worn out hay and other
provender was scarce, and being too ear
ly for grass, they could not do as much
breaking as they had intended. Had the
season been ' favorable, as much more
would have been broken up and planted.
No corn was planted before June, and a
great deal of it not until near the , loiter
part. Ail but about eighty acres was
" sod corn." Hut let us see how many
acres of corn were planted, under all these
adverse circumstances:

This is quite a nice little " pile" of corn
to be raised iu one season. Let us esti
mate its value in dollars and cents. Corn
is now selling at hf'.y cents per bushel
At this price we hare, as the value of the
com crop, the handsome sum of $41,HJ7,-
50. This is so much wealth added to the
Territory, as otherwise we would have
been compelled to send to lowa, Missou'
ri, or some other suite for the supply.
The notatoe crop comes nsxt, and the

A better crop of potatoes I have never
seen any where, and to estimate the yiel
at 2001 bushels to the acre is rather low
But nt this rate we have a crop of 26,800
bushels. These, at 60 cents per bushel
(the present market price,) foot up $13,.

Other products have been raised in
abundance. Some buckwhent was sown,
from which a large yield was received.
One man sowed three pocks, and gather
ed 40 bushels. Melons we had in abun
dance. The Chinese Sugar Cane was
found to thrive, and garden vegetables
produced abundantly.
Improvements of different kinds have
advanced rapidly. Three steam mills are
now iu active operation. At Cleveland,
a splendid, large hotel has been erected.
At Columbus there is another, and all
along the Valley fine, comfortable houses
have been erected.
Quite a number of towns hare been
laid out, some of which hare grown con
siderablyothers not so much. At the
head of the list stands Cleveland. The
proprietors are men of energy, weens
and influence, and have gone to work
with an energy and zeal that yields to no
obstacles. Its location is such as inuat
give it importance, and attract the atten
tion of settlers and capitalists. Its future
will be bright and prosperous.
J have now presented the reader with
facts. I leave him to draw his own in
ferences, and arrive at such conclusions
as his common sense must dictate,
Whether Platte Valley holds out any in
ducements to settlers, is for him to decide.

California Farming. ;
Our readers will doubtless be interested
with the following accounts of farming in
California, conducted on a large scale ;
and some valuable hints may be obtained
by farmers in the eastern portion of the
Union, from the thorough and systematic
arrangements. V e copy from the lie-
port of the Committee to visit Farms, Sic.,
appointed by the California Agrirultural
Society, made to the Society last autumn,
as given in the California Farmer.'
From Sacramento we rode to the farm
of J. C. Davis, Esq., about twelve miles
west of that city, on the Puto creek.
This farm took the first premium of your
Society last year, and Mr. Davis has been
incessant in his efforts in improving Ins
su ck, orchards, buildings, and indeed ev
ery thing connected with his extensive
premise. His farm contains about 8000
acres of land 1000 enclos.nl by a good
fence. Ihe water is raised by steam
f rom the bed of the creek, in such quan
tities as to enable him to irrigate a large
portion of his lands. He has a large
peach orchard, and an extensive variety
of other fruit trees, besides several thou
sand grape vines, which are producing
very abundantly this year. His barns,
stables, corrals and arrangements for stock
are all on an extensive scale, and aduu
rablv arranged for the Durnose intended
Mr. Davis has 3000 head of cuttle and
J Q I 4 -
about the same number of sheep, . He is
using every effort to improve the quality
of his stock by introducing the best breed,
and by this means the value of his stock
n ..i
u rapioiy increasing every year, lie nas
raised this year 400 hundred acres of
wheat and barley, which has yielded over
30 bushel to the acre. He has about 150
head of horses, some of which are of a
superior quality.
About three miles farther of the Puto
is the extensive fanning establishment of
Generis Hutchinson and C E. Green.
They have 1800 acres of land enclosed
with a good fence, besides a large tract of
unenclosed adjoining. One thousand acres
of wheat and barley have been harvested
this season, and notwithstanding the ex
tremely dry summer which has caused
such extensive failures of the cereal crops
in other parts of the State, the crops on
this farm hare been comparatively good.
One field containing 20 acres of wheat
ai d barley, averaged 73 bushels to the
acre. It I but fair, howcter, locate that
NO. 4. ..
the fluid had been previously used for a 1
hog pasture. They have cut this year
luoo tons of tiny, for ranch purposes and
for baling and marketing. ' All the requt '

manner arc to 1q niet with on a large (
scale, at this place. lilacksmiihs and car
enters are constantly employed , in ina
ing and kreping in order the implements

plete system of farming for grain grow

in this or any other stnto. Its work stock
c insists of AO mules, 24 horses, 24'oxea;
and about 100 heud of American!
cows and young stock, and 500 hogs..
They have 20 wagons, 50 plows, 25 liar ,

business is gram growing, and to which,
llio most attention is paid. Four hundred
and fifty ucres have been under "cultiva
tion in wheat, barley, rye' and oats, this',
past season. A puitof the seed is drilled
in, and a part plowed in with gang plows,
in each case with a satisfactory result,
In tho centre of this portion of the farm
is a stone grancry of 11,000 bushels ca1

source of income' nnd subsistence, r
The house and out-buildings are so ar-.
ranged, that while perfectly convenient
and gua-ded against tire and risk, as to
harmonize with the surrounding landscape,
whose natural beauties are increased by
clumps of Eveagreens, hedges of Roses,
Locust and Osage Orange, planted be

kept under by cultivators made oa.tbe
