THE WEST. O'all the lands beneath the sun, Which Heaven hath richly blest. Upon this rolling sphere there’s none More glorious tha i the V 5 est! Here sunny fields in summer stand. With golden harvest blest; And plenty crowns that favored land. The bright and prairied West. Here generous hearts with friendship g«ow And open thoughts expand; No artful wiles, nor coldness know The freeman of the West. i Free as the bounding deer that iares In purling streams his breast Free as the mighty oceans waves, Are they who roam the West A happy land it is for all. By care and want oppressed; No land on all this earthly ball. Is like the blooming West. Here prairie flowers of rainbow hues. The smiling meads invest, Aden charms and joy diffuse O’er all the fertile West. Far as the hunter’s eye can sec, Or eat;ie from his neat. The tail green grass is waving free. O’er all the prsiried West. As When across the sea green deep, J The eye would seek for rest. j W hile waking billows onward sweep, Sc waves the tuigbtv West. i A giant Empire great and strong. With arts and commerce blest; Shall roll the tide of wealth along 1 he vast aud growing West. No wild misrule or discord’s band Shall e’er her states infest. But Peace and Wisdom rule that land, The free and glorious West. THE WIFE’S DOWER. BT A RETIRED ATTORNKT. Everybody who knew John Gordon knew bim to be one of the meatiest and most contemptible men that ever was permitted to walk the earth. His brother Peter was not a whit better; so it would appear that meanness ran in the blood of the family. John was pretty well off, so far as this ■ world’s goods were concerned, His property was ail invested in building which had cost him some twenty thousand dol lars, which be made pay him an income of about three thousand dollars. He did not marry until he was forty, probably from the fear of incurring unnecessary expense; and when finally, he did take a wife, it was only as he would have taken a housekeeper, or a servant, Mrs, Gordon was a poor woman, an 11 Lad been obliged to work verv hard for 1 a living. Probably she marrried on pru dential considerations, for she could not I possibly have loved such an abortion of, a man as John Gordon. She made a I mistake bu’ she meant right. She took good care of her husband treated him I better than he deserved, and was in every respect an obedient and faithful wife. 1 Al! she received in return was the meagre support which her busband's bouse afforded her. When they had been marrried some three years, John had taken sick, and lingered along for a year, during which time his wife was an excellent and devoted nurse. Her whole aim seemed to be to discharge her duties to her lord with fidelity. She had made a bargain with him, and she performed her part of the contract with scrupulous exactness. One day I heard that John Gordon was dead. It was a small loss to the community. and I could not think of pitying bis wife, for her lot would certainly be ameliorated by his departure. She would be entitled to one-third of the income of his real estate, which, for a poor woman, peneir I I neither thought nor heard acy more of John Gordon or his wife, for two months when a woman appeared at my office, and | introduced herself as the latter. •Mine is a very bad case, Mr. Docket, said she, sealing henelf bv my side. •Indeed madam, I thought rou were comfortably provided for. You have one-third the income of your hasband’g estate, or about a thousand dollars a x e»r.‘ II seems J tm act tv have this,’ she k plic ' gio< milv. •Not have it?’ ‘Peter Gordon has taken possession es the estate declaring it belouga to him. He says my husband sold it to hi« a few weeks before his death.’ • How could that be”’ ‘Peter allowed me the deed, and sues It has belli ri i orded.’ ho" s<> •).«. •[,, bvt'-'T for r ru

madam. The law gives one half of his personal estate , •But he sold it for one dollar,’ interrupted Mrs. Gordon. •He could not sell it without your concurrence. Did you release your right or power to the premises? No sir; Peter says I did, though, and showed me my name, duly witnessed, on the deed.’ ‘Didn’t you sign it?’ ■No sir.’ i ‘Then it is a forgery.’ •I suppose it is.’ •You are confident you did not sign ■your name to the deed?’ *1 am very sure I did not, and for a good reason.’ •How’s that?’ •I cannot write. I never wrote my name I was brought up in the country, where girls did not get so much school- ' ing as now. My folks were poor, and I never had a chance to go to school,’replied Mrs. Gordon with some confusion. ‘Did your busband know you could not j write?’ ‘No; I never told him.’ , . I dismissed her with the request that ■ she would call the next day. 1 went at I 1 once to the Registry of Deed, and found that Mrs, Gordon had told a straight sto- ( . rv. Her miserable, contemptible husband had given his property to his brother in his last days, so as to cheat his wife who had cared for him in health, and nursed him in sickness, of her just claim upon his estate! He was a villian! I need not say I felt a deep interest in the case of my client, ■ and resolved to bring matters to an issue at once. The next dav when she called I she directed me to her sister by whom it could be proved that Mrs. Gordon could not write her name; who bad seen her i mark often, and within a short time. The person who professed to have witnessed the signature of Mrs, Gordon was a clerk in the office of Peter. My first move was to take steos to arrest him on I the charge of fraud, and to sue his employer for my clients share of the rents, which he bad just collected, and which he had refused to pay over to her. ‘When I had proceeded thus far, I received a visit from Peter Gordon. What do you mean sir? he asked sourly. j •I mean to get justice for the widow. I 'Her husband was worth nothing when he died.’ i, ‘But his wife had a one third interest in I his real estate.’ ‘lt was sold to me, and she signed away her right to dower.’ •Did she?' ‘Certainly, she did.’ , Did you see her sign it. •To be sure I did; so did my clerk. '■ ‘There is a warrant out for the arrest of your clei k; and I have some hopes that >he will turn State's evidence, and convict his principle.’ He started back with astonishment and i terror. •I—l don’t understand you!’stammer- 1 ed he. ■Don’t trouble yourself about it, Mr. ( i Gorden, you will understand it all in due time.’ •For God’s sake, don’t arrest my clerk, lie will be the ruin of me.’groaned he. ‘You should have thought of that before ’You don’t mean to say that everything is not all right about my brother’s affairs? Because if it isn’t I will make it right, you know,’ he whined io supplicating tones. ‘You sav you saw Mrs. Gordon sign that deed?’ •Well—no; not exactly; but I suppose she signed it.’ ‘SAe can’t write/ She never even wrote her name in her life!’ ‘Gracious!’ ■ , ’1 pressed the rascal close, and made him acknowledge that his clerk had signed the name for a consideration. I would Lave caused both of them to be sent to the State Prison, if Mrs. Gordon had not begged me to spare them. As it was, I secured the entire income of the estate for my client, and charged it to Peter, who was but too glad to pay it. A certain cockney blucbeard, overcome by his sensibilities, fainted at the ; grave of his fourth spouse. •What shall we do with him? asked a perplexed friend of his. Let him alone,’ said a waggish bystander, ‘lie’ll soon re-wire!' I here is u<> face so pleasant to behold a the fare ths’ loves us.

THE GLOBE: THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS. I PUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of The Daily Globe,'and The Congressional Globe and Appendix, io remind subscribers, and inform those who may desire to subscribe, that Congress will meet on the first Monday of next December, when I shall recommence pub lishing the above named papers. They have been published so long that most public men krow their character, and therefore I deem it needless a minute account of the kind of matter they will contain. . The Daily Globe will contain a report oflhe debates in both branches of Congress as taken 'down by reporters equal, at least, to any corps of short hand writers in this or any other country. A majority of them will, each, be able to to'report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour while the average number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceed seven thousand five hundred words "an hour. When the debates of a dav do not make more than forty columns they shall appearin the Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, also, the ! news of the dav. together with such editorial articles as mav'be suggested by passing events. It is also my intention, from time, as occasion : mav require, to publish my reminiscences of the public men with whom I have been associated i during the last twenty eight years. Anecdotes of General Jackson.and theleadersofthe party which he conducted, and the leading men of other parties, will. I believe, be interestingnow when partisaa bitterness has abated. In becoming the reporter of the debates of Congress 1 deemed it proper to say that the Globe would never be a partisan paper. This pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as a contribution to history the political traits of character which distinguished the public men of my time. Although I am. and intend to re- i main.athourough democrat, I will never obtrude my principles in a wav to make there obnoxious to anv party. But in regard to persons | and events which go to make up history. I hope J to make the Globe an honest memoir; and with ■ that view I am resolved to speak iudepenaent-ly ■ of all parties. The Cosgbf-ssioxal Globe and Appendix will contain a report of all the debates in Congress, revised bv the speakers, the messages of the President of the United States, the annual reports of the heads of the executive departments, the laws passed during the session, and copious I indexes to all. They will be printed on a double roval sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, 3,B’rt) and 3,900 pages, as the long sessions for many years have ranged between those numbers, and the next session will be what is termed a “long one.”— This I believe is the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed . from manuscript copy, taking for data the average number of words of the long session since the vear H4s. The average number of pages is 3,876. and the average number of wordsons ■ page is 2,397,consequently, the average number .of words of a long session is 9,29 ‘,7 72. As I have sold to subscribers that numberof words for six dollars, it follows that they have paid less ! than six and one half cents forevery lO'V’W' word I have furnished them, while I have paid I my reporters 6 29 for every 2,39* words, of 1 this work, in manuscrip’? Has any other bookseller. anywhere, ever sold a book in the first I instance, while it was new, at so low a rate? I I believe not; and so strong is my belief that 1 I hereby agree to give to any person who shall prove'the contrary a complete set of the debates running back to 1833. making forty-three quarto volumes, which sell for $5 a volume. An act of Congress authorizes these papers to go by I mail free of postage. The next session will be. ’ without doubt, an unusual interesting one; as it will be the first under a new administration, and several complex questions must l>e discussed in it—for example’the currency, Kansas, revenue, and other questions.
