I sit iu my sorrow a-weary, alone; .
I have nothing sweet to hope or rcmember,‘
For the spring 0’ th’ year and ofiife has flown:
’Tis the wildest night 0’ the wild December,
And dark in my spirit and dark inlay chamber.
I sit and list to the steps in the street. ’ ‘
Going and coming, and coming and going,
And the winds at my shuttertbey blow and beat;
Tie the middle of night and the clouds cresnowing;
And thc.winds are bitterly beating and; blowing.
I list to the steps as they come and go, ;
And list to the winds that are beating and blowing,
And my heart sinks down so low, so low; .
No step is stayed from me by the snowing,
Nor stayed by thé wind so bitterly blowing.
I think of the ships that are out at sea, -_
0f the wheels in th’ cold, black weters turning;
Not one of the ships beareth‘ news to me;
And my head is sic , and my heart is yearning,
As I think of the w eels in the black waters yearn-
ing. . ' .
0f the mother I think, by her sick baby’s‘bed,
Away in her cabin as lonesome and dreary,
And little and low as the fiax—brcaker’s shed;
Other patience so sweet, and her silence so weary,
With cries of the hungry wol'hid in the prairie.
I think of all things inthe world that are sad: -
0! children in homesick and conifortleas places:
0f prisons, of dungeons, of men that are mad;
Of wfied, unwomanly light in the (smile.
0f women that fortune has wronged "with dis-
graces.
I think of a deariittle sun-lighted head, » -‘ , ,
That came where no hand of us all could deliver;
And crazed with the cruelest pain went to bed
Where the sheets were the foam-netted waves of
' the river; .
Poor darling! may God in his mercy forgive hero
The footsteps grow faint and more faint in the
, snow; . . .
I put back the curtain ‘in very despairing;
The mahts creek and groan as th’ winds come and go;
And the light in the light-house all weirdly is flar-
” m8; , -
But what glory is this, in the gloom of despairing!
I see at the window just over the street, .
A maid in the lamb-Baht her love-letter reading,
Her red month is smiling. her news is sosweet;
And the heart in my bosom is cured oflts bleeding,
As I look on the maiden her love-letter raiding. ‘
She has finished the letter, and folding it, kisses.
And hides it—s react too sacred to know;
And now in the heart-light she softly undresses;
A visioloi grace in the roseate glow, '
I see her unhinding the braids of her tresses. .
And now, as she stoops to the ribbon that fastens
Iier slipper, they tumble o’er shoulder and face;
And now, as she putters in bare feet, she hastens
To gather them up in a fillet of lace;
And now she is gone, but in fancy I trace.
The iavendered linen updrawn, the round arm
Half sunk in the counterpauc’s broidered roses,
Revealing the exquisite outline of form; 1 '
A willowy wonder of grace that reposes
Beneath the white 'counterpanes iicecy with roses.
I ace the smallhand lying over the heart,
Where the passionate dreams are so sweet in their
sally ; ‘
The fair little fingers they tremble and part, ,
As part to th’ warm waves the leaves of the lily, _
And they play with her hand like the waves of the
lily. '

In white fleecy flow’ers, the queen c’ the flowers!
What to her is the world with it‘s bad, bitter weath-

Wide she opens her arms—ah, her world is not ours!

together- , ‘
What to her is our world, with its clouds and
rough weather 'I .
Hark! midnight! the winds and the snows blow and

CORRESPONDENCE.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA.:Marcll 5, 1860.
DEAR Gazn'l'rn :—Judging from the num-
bers that crowd the steamers and find pas-
sage by the cars, and are pushing their way
by ev'ery possible means of conveyance to
all parts of Florida, some to settle and some
to see, some to speculate and some to fiild
pleasure, there must be a general and exist-
ing interest on the part of those who would
like to come, and of those who intend to
come, to learn something of the long neg—
lected State. Eastern men and Western
men meet here. Men from the city and
men from the country, money spenders and
health seekers, professional men and hunt-
ers, old and young, all ranks and classes are
represented at the present time in the Pen-
insular State. It may be that some of your
many readers will be pleased to glance over
a few historicaland geographical facts con-
‘ceriliilg this'S'OUfhérh member of the sister-
hood of States. |
Florida has had a history remarkable
both for its antiquity and variety. It .
had many owners and has witnessed in ‘y
civic convulsions. Discovered in 1497 by
Cabot, who sailed under the English flag,
taken formal possession of by De N arves in
1525 in behalf of Spain, settled first, but
transiently, by a Frenchman named Ribault
in 1562, then by a company of Huguenots
in 1564, whose settlement was completely
destroyed. This State though so far he-
hind most sections included within the lim-
its of the Republic, in many particulars of
development, has'the honor of the first per-
m‘anent European town upon the American
continent. This town is St. Augustine, on
the Atlantic coast, settled in 1565 by a Span-
ish colony. Thus, almost 60 years before
the Pilgrim Fathers bad bound their fi‘aii
ships to the rocky coast of New Engla'l'l'd,
adventurers li-om- a Peninsular of Eur'dpe
had planted their national standard and
were planning to perpetuate their national
”institutions of religion and governnicnt up-
on a peninsular of the New World. Their
plans failed and their purposes Were prostra-
ted. If they had succeeded h0wever'. if the
wave of life which was to give character to
the American people, had risen from Spain
and not from England, had swept from the
Soutb, Westward across the MisSissippi,and
Northward to the great lake and the gran-
ite hills of New England, what had been
thal-esult? The blighting sway of papacy
had been dominant where soul liberty is
now enjoyed, and the , laws of‘the land had
«been thundered from the, Vatican, rather
than inspired in the hearts and evoked from
the homes ofa free people. The “cery time”
of this land bud not yet come. The great
Arbiter and Judge of nations, the all-wise
Husbandman who himself changes the sea-
sons and‘ times all of earth’s events, was
maturing seed from another stock, and pre-
paring to begin his husbandry ,at another
point. Who shall saythat the harvest al-
ready garnered, does not justify the infinite
wisdom of the .Husbandmiln, in the seed'
chosen, in the time and place of its sowing,
and in the manner and means of culture 1’
Unless the signs of the times deceive, Rome
though held in check for a Century or more,
is likely to have quite influence enough up-
on the educatibrlal, pOIitical' and religious
inatitutions' of the land. - -
The Spanish ‘colony established at St. Au-
gustine, enjoyed "for 20 years encouraging
prosperity, and madeits influence felt as far
as the Father chains on the west and the
mountains of Georgia on the North. 'After
this the colony; experienced a variety of for-
tunesatthc .hands'oftp'irates; and Indians,
being :pliisdeied and binned. until; 1703.
when the 'whole territoryofFlorida'becamc.
child of change andulistrtune, it, was not:
’now'destined to enjoy 'a Iongperiod of safe
repose, under the protecting .arms 0f the
mother country. In 1781 Spain reclaimed
her rights, and became once mere the guar-
dian of her lost'ehild. In the early part of
the'present century} turning from Spain and
i
a Colonial deparunentot‘ Great Britain? A
1822, welcomed her as all equal Statef in:
1845, recalled her with the voice of sewer
eighty from rebellion in 1865, and saw her
with a reconstructed government on the ba-
sis of ire m and .equal rights in 1868.
Surely if early trial, change and miéfor'tilne
are prophetic of greatness, then Florida has
‘ before her a bright future.- It may be that
she is now enjoying the dawn of her day of
prosperity.
The geographical outline of Florida, has
some resemblance to that of Italy; it is b00t-
' shaped, having the bottom of the. foot‘upon
the southerborder of Georgia and Alabama
and'the leg and upper part offoot surround-
ed by the waters of the Atlantic and Gulf of
Mexico. Its length from North to South is
about 400 miles and its entire extent from
East to West not far from 300. The width
of that portion between the Atlantic and the
Golf is 90 miles, and ‘of that, between the
Gulflnd Georgia, and Alabama, somewhat,
less The extent of its coalltline is immense
being more than 1000 miles, equaling the
whole distance from New York to Northern
Florida. The State has not, quite 60,000
square miles, or about 38,000,000 acres, 18,- -
000,000 of which are U. S. Government
lands, and 6,000,000 . belong to the State.
The surface of the country is generally
sandy, affording a soil by no means rich,
yet easy of culture, and productive of fruits
grains and vegetables such as are suited to
the latitude. Lakes are quite numerous,'and
there are several rivers of considerable
length.- The “St. J one,” the largest, is truly
a noble river. . For 150 miles from its mouth
the ebb and flow of the tides is perceptible
and its average width for this distance is
said to be full two miles. There are several '
springs of some note in the State as the
“Wakulla,” “Chipola,” “Silver” and “Green
Cove."
The chief attraCtion of Florida, is its cli-
mate. Owing to the physical characteris-
tics of the State, extreme cold of any con-
siderable duration is an impossibility, and
extreme heat is seldom experienced. Reg-
isters for the past 100 years show that the
thermometer rarely fallsbelow 30° or rises
above 95". The whole surface of the State
is reached by breezes either from the ocean
or the gulf. .
Florida.has just adopted a general School
law. ' Development and improvement seem
resolutely entered upon. Immigrants are
welcomed, and no war of opinion will be
waged. G.
OMAHA, NEBRASKA,
. March, 10, 1869. }
Masons. Borrow—Perhaps your readers
would be pleased to learn a few facts re-
garding the growth of this for western city.
I say far western, and it must seem .to you,
yet here the people talk of “gOing west,”
While at the summit of the Black Hills they
speak of Omaha as “down east.” -
The growth of a western city is truly shr-
prising. Since my Iast visit to this place
(during the fall of ’67) it has grown nearly
out of my remembrance. Hastily erected
frame buildings have given place to fine
brick stores. There are eleven churches in
the city, and several fine ‘seminaries. Side-
walks have been laid, gas introduced, horse
railroads built, and some very fine private
residences erected, costing from $40,000 to
$60,000 apiece.
Velocipedes are of common occurrence
too, which I suppose is. another evidence of
civilization. I was much amused in seeing
a “noble red man” attempt to ride one on
the ”street. He evidently had never tried be-
fore, and his vain efforts to make the ma-
chine “go” were truly ludicrous. There are
.a great many Indians of the Pawnee tribe
in the city every pleasant day. They have
a reservation near the city and come in on
the Union Pacific Rail Rail, (who let them
ride free). They are a peaceable tribe, la-
zy, dirty and thieving. Once they were
very powerful; but are onlv few in number
now, and with no spirit left.
In 1864 this place only numbered. about
2,000, but as soon as the Union Pacific Rail-
road was started ‘(fi'om this point) the place
began’ to grow, and from that time has
grown so rapidly, that to-day finds Omaha
0 city of 20,000 inhabitants, with a buSiness
of millions—the largest and best business
point west of Chicago, until you reach Salt
Lake City. ‘ One house. here sold over
$2,000,000 worth of goods last year. How
is that for a city of less than ten years
growth 1’ This being the initial'ppint of the
great U. P. R. R., must eventually bring a
large western trade here. Already Omaha
sells a good many goods to Salt Lake City,
and beyond. The U. P. Railroad Co’s shops
being located here, give permanent employ-
ment to a great many people.
The climate is very fine, good for con-
sumptives I am told. At this season of the
year it is subject to sudden changes howev-
er; for in'Slhnce, yesterday noon the weath-
er was so mild that store doors were all
open,'people were talking about the heat,
thermometer stood at 60° above zero in the
shade. Behold the change, before 0 o’clock
in the evening of the same day the ther-
mometer indicated 4°belmo zero, and he who
had no overcoat was trying to “beg, borrow
or stea .” This only lasted for a short time
and to-day is bright and beautiful.
The U. P. Railroad have had a serious de-
tention-up in the Rocky Mountains, owing
to the severe snow stoma filling up the
narrow passes and blockading the trains.
No through trains from Salt Lake City
have arrived here since Feb. 13th until this
noon. About 200 passengers who left Salt
Lake-and vicinity on the 9th of February,
only arrived here this noon, being twenty-
nine days from Salt Lake! Their experi-
ence on the mountains can only be told by
themselvesg so I will not attempt a-descrip-
lion, suffice it -to say they suffered much
from cold and hunger, and some of the men
on the road did freeze to death. :The Rail-
road Co., had a force of about 1,200 men
employed to dig through, and there will
r probably be no more troulfle. Ono jolly
Tentou with whom I couversed, remarked,
atler quoting (not literally) the passage in
the Bible .that says, “ The wind bloweth
where it listeth, and thou bearest t sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence» cometh
nor whether it goeth,” “ Poys, now I dells
you one ding, I' knows dat is vat to good
book say, but poys I dells‘ you I knows
where to wind corner from, and dot is
to Rocky Mountains. He is made dere.”
Upon being asked if he knew where it went,
'h'e repliedf‘Nein, nein, I no find out yet.”
This will illustrate the force that the “gen-
tle breezes” attain in the mountains.
I People in this country are all talking “big”
for business during .the coming season.
I expect to start for Salt Lake City next
week, and if I can find time, will write you
from the “City. Of the Mormons.”

The N00 Hampsheer eleckshun' hez gone

bring about a change, but it didn’t. ‘ That
“sober second thought" won’t do to depend

. 1T0 Connecticut now we turn our hopeful
eyes. In Connecticut there is still potency-
in our old Watch-word, “Ameriky for white
men l” _and. the troo Connecticut Dimoc‘iat
still shudders when yoo demand uv him
sternly, “Do yoo want to marry a nigger t”
Then its promoxity‘ to N00 York is a pint
in our favor, for it‘s chepper to transport
voters from that city, than to any other sfate
except N00 Jersey. .» To yoose ’a militdry
phrase, wich I learned when I was in semis
in the Lodezeaner Pelikins, Connecticut is
near our base uv supplies. It’s too expen-
sive to do it on Pennsylvsny and we ' shel
never try that state agin.
A. Johnson desired me to go to Connec-
ticut to assist Dixon and I spent one day at
that biznis. Johnson loves Dixon, and is
pertikelerly anxshus that he shel be in the
Helms when he gits back into the Senit.
“Then” sed he “there’ll ,be two uv us.” I
made my way to a room] town ill his De'es-
trik, and arranged for a meeiin to address.
Ther wuz a goodly attendance, and Icon-
gratulatid myself upon a pleasant and profi
able season. .
Strikin an attitood I commenced by remar-
kin that the eyes uv the country wuz jist at
this time a restin onto the first deestik uv.
Connecticut, and that the ’country speclid
the eleckshun uv that noble patriot James
Dixon, I perposed to examine breefly the
record uv the man for Whom I solissitid
their votes.
At this pint the cheerman in the mectin
pulled my coat tale vilently.
“Well i” said I angrily, for I wuz gittin on‘
a most elokcnt sweat, and when I git to per-
spirin oratorically I don’t like to _be inter-
ruptid, “wat’s the matter f" ‘
“Don’t menshun his record,” whispered be
into my left car. “We dodge that 1”
“But before I enter upon that," sed'I slid-
in off uv that sunken rock, “I shel say a few
words regardin the monstrous proposition to
force nigger suffrage onto Connecticut. DC
yoo—" '
Agin my coat tail wuz pulled, and anoth-
er nervous whisper.
“Don’t menshun suffrage—lie voted for it
twice. We dodge that.”
“Do yoo desire,” resoomed I, somewhat
staggered, for nigger suffrage is my best bolt
and when depriged uv it I am at sea without

J., on five, men, four of “them were seated
at an oakon table in the centre of the room
engaged in playing cards, while. they fre-

droughts il'Om anj'earthen jug that stood on

_ They were heavily, bearded, coarse look-
ing men, and from't’llcir dress, which some-
what resembled the British uniform, they
were evidently Tories. The other was a
stout built young man. clad in the Continen-'
.tal uniform. He satin one _cor'll'cr",0f the
room with his face buried in his hands.
“Tom," said one of the Tories, rising, from
the table and seating himself near the young
prisoner, for such- he evidently was. “Torn,
you and I were school boys together, and I
love you yet. Now, why can’t you give ,up
your wild notions and join us ? You are
our prisoner, and if you don’t we shall hand
you over to the headquarters to-morrow,
while if you join us, your fortune is made,
for with your bravery and talents, you will.

“Neith'ér,” 'Said the. yodng man, raising his
head and looking the Tory steadily in the
eye. ,
‘ I am now, as you say, your prisoner, but
when the ~clock- strikes twelve, I shall dis-
appear. in a cloud of fire and smoke, and
neither your comrades, not even myself, can
.prevent it. You may watch the closely as
you please, tie me hand and foot if you will ‘
but a higher power than yours or mine has
ordained that I shall leave you at that time.”
“Poor fellow, his-mind wanders,” said the
Tory; “he’ll talk differently in thculnorn-
ing?’ And he returned to, his seafit the
table. leaving the youth with his head again
resting in his hands.
When the clock struck eleven the young
prisoner drew a pipe and some tobacco from
his pocket, and asked the tory leader if he
had any objections to his smoking. None
in _the least,” he said, adding with a laugh,
“that is,ify0u’ll promise not to disappear in
a cloud of tobacco smoke.” '
The young man made no. reply, but im-
mediately filled his pipe, having done which
be commenced pacing the floor.
.He took half a dozen toms up and down
each side of the room, approaching nearer
the table each time, when,having exhausted
his pipe he returned to his seat and refill-
- ed it.
He combined to smoke, - until the clock
struck twelve, when he arose from his seat
and slowly knocking the ashes frOm his pipe,
said:
“There, boys, it’s twelve o’clock and I
must leave you. Good bye l”
Immediately all around the room were
seen streaks of fire hissing and squirming;
the cabin was filled with dense sulphurous
smoke; amidst which was it clap of than--
der. The Tories satin their chairs paralyz-
ed with fright. ‘ '
The smoke cleared away, but the-prisoner
was nowhere to be seen. The table was
overturned; the window was smashed to
pieces, and one chair was lying on the ground
outside the building.
The Tory leader, after re'covering from
his stupor, gave one glance around the room
and sprang out .of the window, followed by
his comrades. They ran through the forest
at the top of their speed, in'the-dircction 'of
the British encampment, leaving their mus-
kets and other arms 'to- the mercey of the
flames which had now began to devour the
cabin.
Thenext day, two young men, dressed in
the Contimental uniform, were seen stand-
ing near the ruins of the old cabin. One
was our prisoner of the night previous—“Let
.us hear all about it, Tom," said the other.
“Well,” said be, “last evening as I was
passing this place, two Tories rail out of the
cabin and took pOSScssion of me. Before I
could make any resistance, they took me in,
who do you suppose .I saw as a leader of
their party but John Barton our old school-
mate. He talked with me and tried to in-
duce me to join them; but I told them I
couldn't do it, that. at twelve o’clock I was
going to escape, disappear in a cloud of fire
and smoke; but he laughed at me, and said
I was out of my head. About eleven o’clock
I asked him if I might smoke. He said he
had no objections; so I filled my pipe and
lighted it and commenced walking the floor.
I had about a pound of gunpowder in my
pocket, and as Iwalked ail-owed it over the
floor. When the clock struck twelve I bid
my pipe, the powder ignited, and a dazzling
flame of firé' shot acrdss, around and all over ’
the room, filling it 'Wilh suffocating smoke.
Before it cleared away I hurled a chair
through the window and departed, leaving
them to their own reflections. You know
the rest.” . '

Did any old Democrat go to sleep in 1862-

Rip Van Winkle nap? If there was any
such, we hope, 'for his own comfort and
peace of mind that he will notwake up on
the coming election day. How he would
rub his eyes and look aboutllim if he should.
Taking the State ticket‘headed “DemOcrat—

of slavery—who was burnéd in effigy and

“Lieut. Gov. Ephraim H. Hyde.”
“Oh, yes,” he would say, "I remember
him : he’s a Democrat.” ‘ ‘

that he will: the only man on the ticket to
whose nomination therewas any serious 0p-
position. .

“Why, he was a Republican up to 1867,
and the Democrats nominated him because
the Republicans wouldn’t” '
“0h _!” he gays, and reads on.

“Well, Moseley was a Republican, but _in
1867 the Democrats wanted to secure E. 8.
Cleveland, and so they let Cleve, put Mose-
‘ley on the ticket He votes the ticket while
his name is on 'it, which is a gain of one to

Poor Vanderbilt! How I do pity you;
Slid'llill is honest. You are an Old man,
and ought to have some rest, and yet on
have t ggle and struggle, and deny
yoursel , . d rob yourself of restful sleep
and peace of mind, because you need money
so badly. I plways feel for. a man who is
so poverty ridden as you. Don’tmisunder-
stand 'me,‘ Vanderbilt. I know you own
seventy millions ; but then you know and I
know that it isn’t what a man has that con-
stitntes wealth. No—it is. to be satisfied
With what onehas; that itwealth. As Ion
as one sorely needs a certain additions
amount, that man isn’t rich. _ Seventy times
seven millions can’t make him rich as long
as his poor, heart is banking for more. Iain
just about rich enough to buy the least vai-
uable horse in stable, perhaps, but I.
can not sincere y and honestly take an oath
that I need any more now. And so I am
rich. But you i you have got seven mil-
lions, and you need five hundred millions,
and are really suffering for it. Your ver-
is somethin appaling. I tell youtru y that
I do not be ieve I could live twenty-four
hours with the awful weight of four hun-
dred and thirty millions of ab ect want

der it. y soul 13 so wroughtupon b your
hapless pauperism, that if you came y me
now, I would freely put ten cents in your
tin cup, if you carry one,'and say, “God pity
you, poor unfortunate.”
Now, I pray you, take kindly all that I
have-said, Vanderbilt, for I assure you I
have meant it kindly. and it is said Hi an
honester spirit than you are accustomed to
find in what is said to you or about you. And
'do go now, and do something worthya man

simply shining with the reflected a lendor
ofyour seventy millions. Now ' of it.

mous; all the young men do it; but bless

idea and as hold an enterprise as ever enter-

did not excite any newspaper applause i
N o. If you had conceiv it, though, the
newspapers would have gone wild over it.
No, sir ; other men think' and talk as bril-
iantly as you do, but they don’t do it in the
glare of seventy millions ; so pray do not
be deceived b the laudation on receive;
more of it be ongs to your ' ions than to

ing vain-g orioua on a false basis, and an
unsound one—for ifyour millionsjvere to
pass from you, you might be surprised and
grieved to notice what flat and uncclebrated
things you were capable of saying and do
in forever aflerward. .
“ on observe that I don’t say anything
about your soul, Vanderbilt. It is because
Ihane evidence that you haven’t any. It
would be impossible to convince me that a
man of your matchless financial ability
would overlook so dazzling an “operation, ’
if you had~a soul to save, as the purchasing
of millions of cars of Paradise, and. rest,
and peace, an pleasure, for_ so trifling a
sum as ten years blameless] hved on earth

to live now, you ow you are very old.
Well, I don’t know after all, posslbl you

the purchase cheaper. You Will want those
millionsof years of rest and pleasure, and
you will try to make the trade and get the
you will welt till you are
on your death-bed, and then ,ofl‘er an hour
and forty minutes for it. I know you so
well, Vanderbilt i Still worse men
you do this. The people we hang always
send for a priest at the last moment.
I assure you, Vanderbilt, that I mean what
I am sayingwfgr {flint good—not toinmake

you are no bettZrthan those Astors. No, I
won’t say that ; for it is better to be a mean

stick. And now my lesson is done. It is
bound to refresh you and make you feel
good ; for you must necessarily get sick of
paling flattery and sychophancy some times
and sigh for a paragraph of honest critic-

that the names of voters ha been “cut 0

at the recent woman mags, convention in
Chicago, seine pretty sharp things, were said
on both sides; We must make room for
one. Mr. Collier, in the course of his argu-
ment against the propriety of giving women

the dOctrine that the husband is “the head
of the wife.” Miss Dickmso' n was ready
with a retort ;-—_- . _\
. Obi but Mr. Collier forgotto say that the
husband is the head of the Wife as Christ is
the head of the church. In my observation,
and it has not been a limited ope-I confess,

—I"have never yet discovered a man who is
