Tile phrase fair scenes of field and sky, in the second stanza, was suggested by the State seal of Kansas, which shows a Wide expanse of prairie and hill, and above this a cluster of starsg and also by the extraordinary brilliancy of the Kansas night-skies. The same suggestions are found in the seventh line of the third stanza: Long as a night-star glows. The 'I' Swan-stream is the Marais des Cygnes, which iiows through the City of Ottawa. The wild sun-Iiower is characteristic of Kansas, precisely as the golden-rod is of New England. FRANKLIN J OHNSON.
