HONORABLE CoURTSHIP.-We heard very
pretty little Incident the other day, which we
cannot help relating. A young lady, it seems,
was wooed and won by youthful physician
living in California. When the engagement
was made, the doctor was very rich, having
been very successful at San Francisco. 1t had
not existed six months, however, when, by an
unfortunate investment, he lost his entire
+" heap" This event came upon him, it
should be added, just as he was aboutto claim
his bride. What does he dos Why, like an
honorable and chivalrous young fellow as he
is, he sits down and writes the lady every par
ticular of the unhappy turn which has taken
place in his fortune, assuring her that if the
fact produced any change in her feelings, to-
wards him, she is released from every engage
nent she has made him. And what does the
dear, good girl: Why, she takes a lump of
pure gold, which her lover had sent her in
his prosperity as keepsake, and having it
manufactured into q ring, forwards it to him,
with the following Bible inscription engraved
j distinct characters on the outside:-" En-
treat me not to leave thee, or to return from
following after thee, for whittier thou goest
will l go, and whittier thou lodgest will l
lodge; thy people will be my people. and thy
God my God; where thou diest will | die;
and there will l be buried; the Lord do so to
me, and more also, if aught but death part
me and thee" The lover idolized his sweet
heart more than ever when he received this
precious evidence of her devotion to him both
in storm and sunshine. We may add, that
fortune soon again amiled upon the young
physician, and that he subsequently returned
to the north to wed the sweet girl he loved,
and who loved him with such undying afiec-
ton. Reader, this is all true Young ladies
who read the Bible as closely as the heroine
of this incident seems to have done, as sure to
make good sweethearts, and better wives

KANSAS TERRITORY.

We have received the sixth number Of the g Kansas
Herald" paper published ut Leavenworth, in the
Territory We have already expressed belief that the
accounts of troubles among settlers seemed to be great
ly exaggerated According to the Herald every thing
is likely to work smoothly We give few extracts:
"The Herald is the first and only paper published
in the young and hourishing Territory Of Kansas We
shall aim to make it the herald Of glad tdngs to oil who
interested in the growth and prosperity of the far
West and especially in the development of the vast
sources of this young Territory which is advancing with
rapid strides to wealth and greatness Every thing
ing to improve country and benefit the people shall
receive our hearty support
All eyes are now turned to Kansas Territory. It's
vast agricultural mineral and other resources together
with its central position to the Pacific, must make it
point of trade and commerce. Already capitalists and
enerprisng citizens from all portions of the Union
coming into the country The Territory is rapidly filing
up with enlightened Industrious, and enterprisng
people, and che will be knocking the door for ad
mission into the Union of the States of this mighty
Confederacy.
" Kansas Territory was organized by an act of Con.
gress giving to its people the absolute right dispose of
the question of slavery for themselves The cherished
principle Of popular sovereignty in the Territories
conceded by this act. 1t proceeded upon presumption
that the people were the best arbers Of their nst
tutions 1t granted that they had the intelligence
to judge Of their wants and the discretion to chose
those best suited to their condition 1t contem
plated that the aid Of fanacism ultraism would
tribute to judicous decision Up TO this time the people
Of Kansas hare dreh together in the utmost harmony and
good nghJoraood They have mintered to each others
wants and practised the kindly Offices Of social life to-
wards each other, without reference to opinions enter
taned. Sectional agitation has not raised its hydra
head among discord has not arrayed our citizens
in opposition to each other in Of determination.
newspaper agitation Of this most sensitive Of all sub
jects would be productive of disasters such as no man
calculate The fanatics Of the North and the uras
of the South have done comparatively little HARM for the
that they have been at safe distance from each
other In this Territory the hostile elements e brought
