Gentle Words.

The sunbeams kiss the grass to life,
The dew drops cheer the flower,
And eyes beam bright in the pale star light,
Of ~Springtime's evening hour
But words that breathe of love and bliss,
And smiles the heart feels true,
Are sweeter than the sunbeam's kiss,
And brighter than the dew I

@s~ DIR. MLANE's LIVER PLLs.-When the
proprietor of this invaluable remedy purchased it
of the inventor, there was no medicine which de-
served the name, for the cure of Liver and Bilious
complaints, notwithstanding the great prevalence
of these diseases in the United States. In the
South and West particularly, where the patient
is frequently unable to obtain the services of a
regular physician, some remedy was required, at
once safe and ~effectual, and the operation of which
could in no wise prove prejudicial to the %constitu-
ton. This medicine is supplied by DR.. MLane's
Liver Pills, as has been proved in every instance
in which it has had a trial. Always beneficial,
not a solitary instance has ever occurred in which
its effects have been injurious. The invention of
an educated and distinguished physician, it has
nothing in common with the quack nostrums i'm
posed upon the public by shallow pretenders to
the medical art. Experience has now proved, be-
yond a doubt, that Doctor M'Lane's Pills is the
best remedy ever proposed for the Liver Complaint.
MS>Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR.. M
Lanes celebrated Liver Pills, and take none else
All other Liver Pills in comparison, are worthless

brated Vermifuge, can now be had at all respecta

We learn that the Independent Guards

Of July-when we will be able to exhibit
two Volunteer Companies Of which our
City and State may well be proud.
Ifany unpleasantness Of feeling has been
~engendered between these two Companies,
we hope it will be buried at once and for
ever ; and let a generous rivalry take its
place as to which shall be the most spirited
and well-disciplined Corps.

Several sanguinary conflicts had taken place be-
fore Sevastopol, between the allies and the Rus
slams, to the serious loss of the latter. The French
gained an important position, and retained it, be-
fore Sevastopol, the Russians retreating from that
point nearer to the City. Eight thousand were
killed and wounded, mostly with the bayonet.-
The allies are masters of the sea of Azoff.
The commercial news is also important. Cotton
has advanced half penny, and market much excited.

SLAVERY IN KANSAS.

We notice that some OF the Pierce and
Douglas jouruals are copying with apfroea-
lion. an artisle Rom the Washington City
Organ, the rurport OF which is that slavery
cannot cxis, In kansss because il cannot
be made profitable there, and as corellary
from that statement, that the great interest
NANTES, cd in regard to the present position
~ ihs; territory is "mech ado about no
thing"
We are not surprised that the sbei,ors OF
the Kansas iaiiuity should seek by every
method to deceive the people Of the free
States in relation 10 this subject, but they
viii surely iad few personsig ignorant enough
70 be delated BY so gross an imposition -
Before the elections 10 Kansas, few hon
est-minded people were perhaps deceived
By the reiterated sophisssies OF the Douglas
orators and writers, but since the operations
Of tie Missouri ru;fisns, it is an insult 10
men of any intelligence 10 repeat The stale
felicity. Much as we have condemned At
Crimson aud his subordinates for their law
less conduct. We never thought them Tool
ish enough 10 act as they have done, unless
they knew the soil and climate of Kansas 10
be adapted TO slave labor. For month.
past the columns Of The Missouri Republican,
have teemed with facts and arguments
demonstrating that the soil Of Kansas is pc
cuiarly fitted fer The cultivation Of eli the
Missouri staples. In our paper of yester-
day We published an extract from that pro-
slavery advocate, which not only asserted
this fact in regard to Kansas, hut also
claimed it to be true for a portion OF South
ern Nebraska; and but the other day, the
Hon. Garrett Davis, addressing large a.
sembl,ce in Kentucky, insisted in HE argu-
men, that Kansas would be FIVE times more
valuable to the North as slave than IS a
tree State.
In the face OF such multi tude of facts,
II certainly requires considerable impudence
for Northern papers to continue ringing
the changes on an exploded falsity. A few
of their reader. nigh, be inclined to con-
ceae the establishment Of slavery in the dis
puted territory, but hey can hardly relish
that those who assume 10 be their mental
instructors should give them falsehood in
stead OF truth, and in place of informing
them offacts, should only insult their under
standings.
