Once more the flower
Mile,
priug side by
Called forth by April rain;
Two bkMoiiis in the winter died,
That will not conic again.
The days bring on from morn till night,
The tasks we always bore;
Hut they which ued to make them
bright
Will make them so no more.
The fairest ofour fireside flowers,
Cut down bv wintrr wind.
Fell ott', and now in hdeu's bow

A surer shelter find.
In vain the mother urged her love
Death's mission knew no stay.
"I'll take your children," he saiil, "above
To show yourself the way."
And shall not this (when earthly cares
Press heavy on our hearts),
Come like an answer to our praver
They have the better part?
Our souls may toss with doubts and
fears,
But theirs are ever calm;
We sometimes weep despairing tears,
The sing the endless psalm.
Oh, joy to think all ties of love
That death has power to sever,
hball be restored to us above
Unbroken there, forever. m. u.
A 3fewNy Letter from Antelope
Coumy ly a. I.iuly Corre
spondent. Antelope, Antelope Co., Neb.,)
May 19th, 1381.
Oil starting to our new home in
Antelope county we crossed the
Platte river at Duncan, and took the
road along the Loup valley. We
had not expected to gee so much re
semblance between this and the
Platte valley, and were disappoint
ed, too, that such large boilioB of
splendid laud were yet in a 6tate ot
nature. Stretching as tarns the eye
could reach were beautiful, undu
lating plains bordered with huge
billowy blull's that looked as though
they might have been upheaved
from the depths of some pro-historic
sea. Lying near the river were
occasional strips of natural wood
land that, added to the groves
planted by the thrifty farmer, gave
the country a charm that nothing
but trees can. Nebraska seems to
have appoiuted every man and wo
man as au especial Oliver to come
pleadingly, but persistently forward
to ask for more and yet more trees.
On the south Bide of the stream
opposite Geuoa, bones of deer, elk
and other animals were scattered in
great profusion, marking the ground
where the Indians had often held
high carnival. But the massive
brick school building formerly oc
cupied by their pappooscs aud young
braves aud which now loomed upon
us from across tho river, is a monu
ment that made an important era in
their theretofore nomadic lives.
Six miles west of Fullerton we
were ferried safely across the river
by two Charon. Between tho ferry
and the town we were struck by
many evidences of the late flood.
Innumerable basins were washed in
tho valloy in the vicinity of the
river, while strewn thickly about
was the usual debris to be 6een after
a freshet, that extended back a mile
or more. Fullerton, which is not
yet two years old, is a sort of mod
ern Hercules in size, strength and
capacity. It is almost marvelous
what Nebraska can do in the matter
of raifiing towns. Stores, shops and
offices of various kinds, and a good
flouring mill at the head, with a
bridge across the Cedar which Hows
into the Loup here, all add to the
growth of the place. These aud the
large herds of cattle that reach away
up into the huudreds and now roam.
at their own sweet will over the
pampas-like meadows, besides the
productive soil and the careful till
ers thereof, point to the direction
from which the place receives its
support. Fullerton is thus men
tioned at length, being one of the
representative towns in growth of
the State.
After crossing the Cedar we pass
ed over waves and waves of hills,
then table land interspersed with
farm's till we entered Plum Creek
valley. Here we halted at the house
which serves for store, hotel and
post-office, and that make up the
town of Neoma. Mine host, Von
Snider, was further aided and sec
onded in his hospitable endeavors
by his amiable and intelligent lady.
Culture aud intelligence, good books
and papers, chief among which was
the Columbus JouitXAi,, all under
one roof. As we could desire noth
ing more we blessed our lucky stars
and dried our wet clothing, having
traveled in a driving rain all the
afternoon.
Now there were more divides,
and other summits as wc nnared the
country lying adjacent to the Bea
ver. This creek, which aflbrds some
natural timber and beautiful scen
ery with rich soil in a fine Btate of
cultivation, is spanned by a bridge
at Albion, an enterprising place al
ready familiar to the readers of the
Joukn'al. Here we forgave the
email boy aged ten or thereabo.uts
for the carrying of that genteel
weapou known as a cane, when we
saw the lovely groves of box elder
trees whose numbers seemed to be
legion. The delicate tint of their
serrated leaves is almost the first to
greet the eye in early spring, which
causes the tree to be a general fa
vorite among tree planters.
Traveling on through the northern
part of Boone couuty we found
farmers at work in a soil as rich as
we remember to have seen since
leaving Illinois. This was an agree
able surprise, as we had been told
there was "nothing at all in the
northern portion of Boone county
but sand hills that wouldn't raise
white beans." Hay we ask, en-
pareutiiGsis, why it is that white
beans are considered the ultima
thulc of agricultuie? We iuteud
sometime to start out on a tour of
observation, a voyage of discover'
so to speak, to 6ee if we can ascer
tain where those same sand hills are
situated, for we have heard of them
as being in this or that part of the
State for the past ten years. "We
have seen no better wheat in this or
any other State than we saw iu that
misnamed strip iu Boone.
Iiae valley was the next in order.
Several wealthy Russians, owners
of large sheep farms, live here aud
have great houses that look from a
distance like hotels, and splendid
barns, wind-mills and other com
forts and conveniences that the
provident farmer can afford. One
man near there had tried keeping
sheep on the let-alone system (no
feed nor shelter) and lost his cutire
Hock. A store of treueral merchand
ise, also a post-office was located at
the northern outlet of the valley,
nnd all the surrouudiugs bore evi
dence of thrift aud prosperity. But
how different was another place
near. Not a living thiug to make
an oasis iu that desert of a home,
but two forlorn looking children
who stood with their arms around
each other as we passed ! In our
hearts we thanked the little waifs
for having affection left them in
their destitution and misery. What
could have made the difference in
these two homes? We are afraid
it was the "little brown jug."'
Next iu succession was Taylor
valley, which unrolled its panoram
ic scenery to our admiring gaze.
Well cultivated fields reached down
from the hills into the valleys be
low, making an agreeable contrast
to the green and russet brown of
the prairies.
A? we reached the valley of the
Elkhorn, great herds of cattle were
seen, which outnumbered ail those
encountered since leaving the Loup.
Here, as elsewhere, the herds that
were furnished with feed and shel
ter came through the winter without
more than the usual loss.
The spirit of improvement was
seen to pervade the towu of Neligh,
as well as the surrounding country.
New houses arc appearing as if by
magic. Farmers are busy and con
sequently happy.

Des Moines. Iowa, May IS. Will
you be good enough to give your
thousands of readers iu this State a
fair aud impartial history, political
ly, of the Mr. Robertson to secure
whose confirmation as Collector of
the Port of New York our worthy
President was willing to disrupt the
great Republican part' of the coun
try? Having already lost by this
act the political control of the Sen
ate, with a reasonable show for
losing that of tho next House, we
are pardonably anxious to learn how
much we have gained iu saving
Robertson. It may show a lament
able state of ignorance on our part
to confess it, but, after all, we are
compelled to admit that we cannot
now recall any such giant iu the
political field last fall as Robertson
must have been. Robertson Rob
ertson ! Doubtless a perfect Bayard
in politics ; but who is he, any how?
Please let us know all about him.
Iowa.
Mr. Robertson is known as the
representative of the New York
Central Railroad in the Senate of
that State. He has distinguished
himself in but two ways one as the
unblushing tool of New York cor
porations, nnd the other as a man
who deemed it honorable to go back
upon a sacred promise, and betray
the people who trusted him as a
delegate to the Chicago convention.
What the Independents themselves
thiuk of him may he imagined from
the statement boastingly made in
yesterday's dispatches from Albany,
that Robertson, as Collector of the
Port of New York, with a thousand
commissions iu his pocket, will be
more than a match for Conkhug.
He is ovidontly considered the kind
of a man who will pay for political
service with the offices that belong
to the public. -Chicayo Inter Ocean.
After mature deliberation, close
figuring and advice with our busi
ness men the Commissioners let the
contract for the new bridge across
the Platte at this point to Messrs.
Hobson, Reese & Sawyer, of Savau
nah, Missouri. The new bridge will
be located just below the old one
and be 2,100 feet long. It will be a
truss bridge, built ten feet above the
water. Six of the spans will be 00
feet in length, while the balance will
be 4S feet, with a fourteen foot road
way. The piles are to be of white
or burr oak, 14 inches in diameter
at the top aud tapering to 8 inches
at the other end, and to be driven to
a firm bearing. This will require
the piles to be at least 40 feet. The
piers for the long spans are to be
double 8 and 10 piles. All the
piers are to be furnished with ice
breaks. The structure is to have
the capacity of one ton per foot.
The work is all to be completed ou
or before August oth, 1SS1. The
cost of the bridge will approximate
$14,000, aud it is thought it will be
the best ever built on the river, even
better than the one built at North
Beud last winter. Fremont Trib.

A few days ago Peter Cooper, tho
New York philanthropist, celebrat
ed the ninetieth anniversary of his
birth. The pupils of the Cooper
Union free schools called upon him
at his house and presented him with
a set of engrossed resolutions, and
in the evening he was the subject of
a lecture iu the great hall. Here in
a fine and spacious building which
ho erected there have been for
twenty-three years, during eight
months of the year, free day and
evening &chools of science and art at
a cost of $850,000, the present anim
al outlay being $50,000. The free
reading room and library attached
are used day and evening by thou
sands of people, and the fonuder has
just given $150,000 to enlarge them.
In the class rooms there are free
lectures for students, aud in the
great hall fur the public. Soon there
are to be more facilities for night
instruction, aud a select library and
art museum. There is already a
free school of telegraphy for women
aud a woman's art school. Aud all
this the work of one man, who not
only knew how to make money, but
how to spend it. He has not spent
it "like a prince," for princes sel
dom do such things as he has done;
but helms spent it like a nobleman
one of nature's own noblemen. Talk
about monuments! What is all the
monumental stone and tr.etal in the
world compared with the Cooper
Union? Tho pyramids, Prince Al
bert's gorgeous memorial, the fun
ereal marble and brass in all the
temples in and out of Christendom
will sooner or later be swallowed up
in the insatiate maw of time; but
this benefactor of his race has set in
motion influences for good that will
live through eternity. His body
will be speedily given buck to the
dust from whence it sprang, but his
deeds are as immortal as the intel
lects they have cultivated, the souls
they have lifted from darkness to
light. If his name could peiish his
work could not. That will survive
"the rock -ribbed and everlasting
hills." Generation after generation
will "rise up and call him blessed,"
aud iu the grand choru3 of praise
which posterity is preparing for him
there will not be a single discord
ant note.
Strange that the few, whom for
tune has favored with superabund
ant wealth should not imitate Peter
Cooper's example ofteuer than they
no. wnat is the pleasure to be de
rived from elegant mansions, splen
did pictures, superb equipages, rich
apparel, and all the pomp aud show
which dazzle tho eyes of the multi
tude, in comparison with the pleas
ure which this old man enjoys as he
looks upon the boys and girls, tho
men and women, to whom he has
given opportunities, advantages, ca
pacities they could not otherwise
have had? What supreme satisfac
tion must he feel iu contemplating
his investment. What almost heav
enly joy must fill his heart when he
sees the harvest coming from the
seed he has planted. With what
delightful anticipation must he thro'
the vision of faith, look forward to
that harvest as it broadens and
deepens hereafter, enriching the na
tions and the world. With. what
calmness can he approach death, in
the consciousness, the full assurance,
that he has done something which
death cannot destroy; something
that will live ou and ou in eternal
youth and freshness aud beauty.
He has not "builded wiser than he
knew," he knew the wisdom of his
building knew that the structure
he reared would mock the ages;
was of the stuff' which "neither mal
ice domestic nor foreign levy" can
touch. Wise old man! If your
wisdom were infectious what a glo
rious future would open before
weary and struggling humanity.

"Mrs. Topnoody," sadly remarked
Mr. T., after an agitated scene, "you
arc not what I thought you were iu

"Oh, I "ain't, ain't I?"
"No, you are not. I thought you
were an angel, aud now and now "
"And now" broke in Mrs. T., "and
now you find that you're a fool, and
that angola ain't in the habit of sling

spanking babies, and sewiug ou but

angels ain't in the habit of doing
such things, and it is a mighty good

how many women were angels.

The newspapers now abusing ex
Senator Coukliug are a little too
unanimous. Not many weeks
more than half of them spoke of
Robertson's nomination as a mis
take. At Washington the Presi
dent's best friends, and those who
are still his best friends, pronounced
it a mistake. When the whole story
is told it will be known that Presi
dent Garfield himself did not regard
it as a wise move. In regard to the
feeling then prevailing, the Burling
ton Hawkcye says :
The editor of the JTawkcyc was in
Washington when the appointment
of Judge Robertson to be Collector
of the Port of Ne"w York was made,
and he knows it was the almost
unanimous expression of the Re
publicans in Washington, including
the two Senators iu Iowa, that the
President had made a mistake. Evon
the cloec friends of the President
felt and admitted it to be a mistake,
and regretted that it had been made.
The fact that Republican Senators
so generally looked upon it as likely
to work great harm to the party,
aud put forth such strenuous efforts
to have a breach avoided, is evidence
that tl.ey foresaw resjilts which
might have aud ought to have been
averted.
This is not treason to the party.
A wish that harmony should pre
vail in a party is not a crime, aud
the forcible expression of such a
wish is not a declaration of war on
the President or on the administra
tion. Certain it is that two months
ago all the party leaders gathered at
Washington counseled a course that
would have prevented the present
trouble. These counsellors will, in
good time, be called to the witness
stnnd, and when the loud talkers
aud blatant demagogues have, iu
their oxcoss of joy over a quarrel
that threateuG tho existence of the
parly, had their say, the reaction
will come, aud people iu sober sec
ond thought will sit iu judgment.

A London paper heard of a case
where a droll fellow named Scrubbs
got into a first-class railway car
riage, before smoking carriages
were invented. In the carriage was
seated a sour looking old gentleman
After the train had started Scrubbs
took out his pipe.
'You musn't 8inoko here, at once
said tho old gentleman.'
'I know that,' replied Scrubbs.
He then calmly filled his pipe.
'Did I not tell you,' said the o. g.
again, 'that you can't smoke here?'
'I know that,' gloomily replied
Scrubbs, taking out his fusee box.
He lit a fusee, but now the wrath of
the o. g. was dreadful.
'You shan't smoke here, sir!' he
shrieked.
'I know that,' added Scrubbs, al
lowing the fusee to exhaust itself,
when he lit another, and another;
the stench was awful, and the smoke
suffocating.
The o. g. coughing and splutter
ing, struggled for words. 'You'd
better smoke,' said he.

"That is, you are last?" A week
