The Kanzas Herald Of Freedom puts
forth the following warning to all persons
who may be disposed to re.enact the scenes
, at Parkville, which resulted in the destruc-
ton of the Luminary press:
1t was said by the rioters in Parkvile,
on Saturday, that the destruction Of the
Luminary Office was designed as an exam
pie to others. and it is very knowingly hint
ed that ours will meet With a similar fate
Very well, we have concluded to give any
number of persons who wish to perpetrate
such an act of folly, free pass to "king
dom come" and We pledge them every as
assistance in our power. Probably many
of them never took an upward journey, Ond
would like to try the experiment of sailing
on blaze Of glory. such as couple Of
kegs Of gunpower, exploded a. an oppor.
tune occasion, would furnish.
We have not member in our family,
ourself included, who would not deem a
transit into the future life with compGgnons
de voyage of gOOdly number of printing
press destroyers, as favor rarely TO be met
with. Should the Herald of Freedom Or
fee at any time be invaded for the purpose
of destruction, we give this timely warning
to all, both friend and foe, that unless they
wish to "go up" they had better keep aloof
from its immediate vicinity, for our purpose
is fixed, and the consequences cannot be
prevented.
We have prepared duplicate copy of
our subscription books, and that subscrib-
ers may not be losers by any contingency
which may arise. we hereby authorize and
deputize our esteemed friend and general
agent H. A. Billings. Esq, to resume the
publication of the Herald of Freedom,
should it be suspended by violence, at such
point as be may designate, and we further
donate TO him our entire effects in Kanzas,
Pennsylvania. or elsewhere, to prosecute
the publication of such paper. with this one
condition. that he shall give the advocates
of slavery particular 'Jesses" during the
balance of bis life.

A Fearful Leap.

On Friday last at disasterous fire in
Amity Place, New York, the tsssel manu-
factory, piano manufactory aud coach
factory were burned. The escape of a
number of its inmates is thus described:
There were some six or eight young wo-
men engaged IN the tasseI manufactory, who
became so confused that they we're unable
to find their way down the stairways. Some
of the wOrkmen Immediately took them to
the roof and they succeeded in escaping
through the scuttle-way of the adjoining
building. which fortunately was Of the same
height as the burning buildings.
1t twas thought that every one had escap-
ed from the buildings when one of the work
men appeared at the third-slory windows,
causing the greatest excitement among
those in the street. The flames from the
lever windows licked up the front of the
building. almost in the poor mau's face,
while the fire was almost burning bis back
in this condition the unfortunate being stood
at the window duplicating for help; but
there were none present who could render
him any aid. Driven almost to desperation
the man at last made fearful leap to the
street. and fell with great violence upon the
iron grating over the cellar-way. He was
taken mp in a state of insensibili,y, and con-
veyed to the New Yotk Hospital His in
juries are Of an internal nature. and it is fear
ed, will prove fatal.

wine, they became garrulous, and each re-
counted some wonderful or thrilling adyen-
lures Of the revolutionary war; and the old
ladies told their tales of privation and suf-
fering, interviewer with the histories offath-
ers, brothers, or lovers, who died for iber-
y.
Mrs. W was sobbing convulsively
when her husband came round. lie OBJ
served it, and touched her lightly upon the
shoulder, whispered.
"My love, shall we have dancing ?"
That word, with its ludicrous association
fairly threw her into Mysteries, and she
laughed and Wept at once.
When she became composed, Mr.. W
thus addressed the company.
II fear, my friends, that you will think
my wife frivolous and inconsistent crea-
ture, aBd must therefore apologize for
her. We were married only last fall. and
have attended several gay parties, which
eur rich neighbors gave in honor of our
nuptuals, and my wife thought it would be
genteel for US 10 give dinner in return
| consented, on conditions; one of which
was, that was to invite the guests. So
being professed minister of Him who was
meek and lowly in heart, followed the
words of the command, But when thou
makest feast, call in the poor, the lame,
the manned, and the blind You all rec
ollect the passage. Mrs. W, not
knowing Who her guests were to be, was
highly delighted with the russ l had pro-
vided ;,and do not believe that there has
been so noble and honorable company as
sembed this winter. My wife desired new
furniture, lest we should be deemed parsi-
monious. / pledged myself to expend one
thousand dollars in q manner more pleasing
to our guests, and which should obyiate
any such imputation. And 10 you, patriot
fathers. and these nursing mothers of our
countIy, l now presen: the one thousand
dollars. 1t is just one hundred dollars to
each soldier and soldiers widow. 1t is q
mere triffe. No thanks, my friends"
Then addressing the children, he said
"You will each be removed TO morrow to
excellent places, and if you continue TO be
industrious and perfectly homes! in word
and deed, you will become respectable
members OF society,""
To DR.. M be said
"To you, under God, l owe my life. I
did not know your locality, neither had l
heard of your misfortunes, until few days
since. can never repay the debt owe
you, but if you and your daughter will &C.
cept the neatly furnished rooms adjoining
mine, will see that you never want again.
"You MIR. Brown, are my father in the
Lord. Under your preaching l first became
convinced of sin, and it was your voice that
brought me the words of salvation. You
will remain in my house 1 have pious
to attend you. II is slime you were
at peace. and your excellent lady relieved
Of her heavy burden"
The crippled preacher fell PROSTATE on
the floor, md poured out such thanksgiv-
ing and prayer as found way to the heart
of Mrs. W, who ultimately became
a meek aud pious womsn-s fit belpmate
for devout Gospel minister. And, strange
to say, she dates her conversion from the
day of that comical. but not improbable,
dinner party.

The Boy Farmers.

A Maine paper tells good story Of two
boys, one l3, the other II, who on account
of the sickness of their father, we're left to
work the farm. They thoroughly plowed
and cross plowed three acres of rather
rough ground, which the father then sowed,
and they narrowed three times over. They
also assisted in clearing one acre of new land
which was sOwn with wheat Itgrew well
especially the first sown, but at harvest, the
father being still sick, there was none to
gather the grain but those little lads HaV-
ing neither strength or skill to use the era
die. they grasped the sickle with resoluts
hands, and reapihg what they could each
day, presevered until the whole four acres
was thus harvested By them alone. The
product of this crop would command in
market $I35, and they did good deal of
work on the farm beside. This shows what
boys can do if they really set about it, and
make work of work. and play of play-nOs
trying to do both at once.

Time and Eternity.

II is good for US to mediate on our rela-
tions TO both the present and the future
There is sentimental and also a practical
way of reviewing these relations. Senii-
mentally; We may sigh over the vanity Of
earthly things. and dream how the departed
dead shall come to US and hover about US
with soft wings of love; and such musings
may cast sombre shade over the soul, and
may play upon the tender sensibilties, yet
really make the heart no better. the life
more holy. 1t is essential to any practical
good that we consider the moral relations
Of this life to that, and ask ourselves how
our present deeds are affecting, prospective
ly, the long, long future of our being
Practically, we need to keep our eye on
the formation and development of our own
character, under the assured conviction
that what We. by grace become here. God
will stereotype at death and fix it beyond
change thence forward forever.-O Eudn.

Kindness.

Would it not please you to pick up
row Of pearls, drops of gold, diamonds and
precious stones as you pass along the street I?
It would make you feel happy for month
to come. Such happiness you can give to
Others. How. do you ask? By dropping
sweet words, kind remarks, and pleasant
smiles as you pass along. These are true

be lost; of which none can deprive you
Speak to that orphan child; sea the dia-
monds drop from her cheeks Take the
hand Of that friendless boy; bright pearls
flash in his eyes. Smile on the sad and de-
jected; a joy difuses his cheek more bril-
liant than the most splendid precious stones.
By the wayside. mid the city's din, and at
the freside of the poor, drop words and
smiles to cheer and blesa You will feel
happier, when resting on your pillow at the
close Of day, than if you had picked up a
sore of perishing diamonds. The :atter
fade and crumble in time; the former grow
brighter with age, and happier reflections

WHAT WHIsKY DID On Thursday ef
last week two young men belonging 10 this

Riordau, went on a fishing excursion up
the Scioto river, and after par.aking rather
freely of the contents Of Jug of whisky,
quarrel arose between them, which ended
in their coming into personal collision
While engaged in the affray Fagg stabbed
Riordan several times With small pen
knife that he happened to have in his hand
for which he was arrested and bound over
to appear before the Probate Court. The
wounds upon Riordan were not supposed
to be very serious until yesterday, when
his friends became alarmed, and last night

Wanted-an Angel for Heaven.

And so death closed those little eyes
shrouded their bright glances. Oh, that
the sun would not come streaming in on
that shrouded form, as if there were no
grief in the world.
How sWeetly he sleeps-tbat little COW
eted ANGEL How lightly curl the glossy
rings on his white foreheadl You could
weep your very soul away, TO think those
cherub lips will never, never unclose.-
Vainly you clasp that passive darling, darl-
ing band that has wandered so often over
your cheek. Vainly your anguished glance
strives TO reap the dim story of love in those
faced orbs. The voice sweet as winds blow
ing through wreathed shells, slumbers for
ever. And still the busy world knocks at
your door, and will let you have no peace.
1t shouts in your ear; its chariots rumble
by; it smiles broadly in your care-worn
face; ii mocks you as you sew the shroud (;
it meets you at the coffin, at the grave and
its heavy footsteps tramp up and down in
the empty rooms from whence you have
borne your dead. But it never comes in
the hush of night, so wipe away your tears.
Wanted-an angel for Hesvenl Can
you look up? Can you bear the splendor
Of that sight? Ten thousand celestial beings,
and your own radiant child in their midst.
Wanled-angels for Heaven! Cling
not too closely to your beautiful treasures,
children Of earth!

The following instance of the remarkable
sagacity of a dog is vouched for BY the
owner:
A gentleman residing in Lynn. Mass !,
has. for long time, visited Boston daily
on business, at times passing over the turn
pike, and frequently over the Eastern Rail-
road, always accompanied by bis dog
One day last week. he went to Boston, but
during the day the dog became separated
from bis master, who returned home with
out him. A few hours after the gentleman
reached home the dog also returned. A
gentleman vino went to Lynn ID the after
noon train, states that be saw the dog enter
the cars at the depot in Boston, and snugly
ensconce himself under a seat as il to avoid
the vigilant eye of the conductor. On the
cars stopping at West Lynn, the dog jump
ed out and hurried home with all possible
speed.
