FoR THE Spirit oF TIE ACE

Mr.. EDITOR Il am happy to see that the
Age has entered upon its sixth Volume, with
fattering prospects. Through it's instrument
tally, l hope and believe the Temperance
cause has gained many strong friends, and
may this volume be far more successful than
it's predecessors. Success to it's enteprising
Editors. Though it is now a welcome visitor
to many thousand readers, may it be greatly
increased in circulation.
| feel gratifed to see, that many good wri-
tiers are contributing to the columns Of your
valuable Spirit, and while / am pleased to
see that many of the rougher sex are taking
q stand in the literary ranks, INT are bending
their influence and talent to the great cause
Of reform / am more pleased and delighted
hat the fair sex are not only approving, but
also taking an active part in the great work.
/ sit down, as to a feast, to peruse the soul
breathings of lovely woman, and were l COM
petent to the task | would speak a word of
encouragement to them in their literary and
benevolent efforts. While writing, l may
remark that l fear some of your fair readers
have not yet taken hold Of the Temperance
cause in that manner that will insure us their
influence. We notice in almost every num-
Der of the Age, instances where the Ladies
are showing their love to the Order by pre-
senting Bibles, Banners, &c. to Divisions !;
but while this is the case, we are well aware
that there are some Divisions which have
been fighting against intemperance for three
or four years, without the least encourage
ment from their fair neighbors! To such
we wish, in conclusion, to propose a few
questions. Do you wish to content your.
selves by being behind your neighbors? Are
YOU willing to look silently on until the battle
Is fought and the victory won, and then ex
pect to share the praise2 If you are not
rive us your aid and influence. L.

A BLESSED MARTYR.-The history of mar
tvrdom contains no more touching story
than that given in the following paragraph
from the Madison, Indiana, Daily Argus,
Of December l. 1t cannot be read without
tears and a swelling heart. The facts are
said to havesbeeu established by judicial in
vestigation, and were related by the presiding
judge.
A beautiful, fair-haired, blue-eyed boy,
about nine years Of age, was taken from the
Orphan Asylum in Milwaukee, and adopted
by a respectable farmer Of Marquette, a pro-
fessor Of religion, and a member of the Bap-
list persuasion. A girl, q little older than
the boy, was also adopted into the same fam
| ily. Soon after the children we're installed
in their new home, the boy discovered crimi-
nal conduct on the part Of his new mother,
which he mentioned to the girl, and it there
nv came to the ears of the woman she in
dignantly denied the story, to the satisfaction
of her husband, and insist ID that the boy
should be whipped until he confessed the
falsehood. The an-po weak bigot-lm-
pelled by a sense of religious duty, proceeded
ia the task assigned him, by procuring a
bundle of rods, stripping the child naked
and suspending him by a cord to the ratters
of the house, and whipping him at intervals
for over two hours, till the blood ran through
the floor, making a pool upon the floor be-
low stopping only to rest and interrogate
the boy, aud getting no other reply than Pa,
I told the truth cannot tell q lie,' the wo,
! man all 1.-The time urging him to do his duty.
, The poor little hero, at length released from
D his torture, threw his arms around the neck
: of his tormentor, kissed him, and said, Pa,
l nm so cold,' and died. 1t appeared in evi
dence upon the trial of this man and woman
d for murder, that the child did tell the truth
and suffered death by slow torture rather
than tell a lie. The age of heroism and o.
martyrdom will not have passed till moth
y ers cease to instill holy precepts into tn
70 minds of their offspring. The man and wo
! man who murdered this angel-child are nov
in the penitentiary at Waupun, to whicl
N they were sentenced for ten years.
This affecting story has been very gene

Governors YOess..

Gov. Reeder, returned to the Fort, on
Wednesday last after an absence of about
two weeks making a tour of observation in
the interior of the country. We learn he
is highly delighted with his trip. and speaks
in the highest terms Of the country over
which he passed. He was welcomed with
a right good hearty will wherever he went.
After leaving Umontown he proceeded on
as far as Council Grove stopping on the way
at Fort Riley. Council Grove is on the
Santa Fe Road, and upon the head waters
of the Usage River. and is about $50 miles
out from independence. There is a fine
body of timber on the stream, good springs,
and the soil is equal to any portion of the
country. Already there is quite a large
settlement where the Santa Feroad crosses,
where a town must be built. for it is about
the last resting place. before launching out
upon the plains.
