together, was snapped asunder church
North and church South! Slavery or aboli
ton, by q geographical line, made the lead
ing element of a mans religion! Was not the
sagacious South Carolihian right? Do we not
see that the evil has become chronic disease
that in the North Protestant clergyman must
be an abolitioDist in his teachings, and that in
the South be must be "Southern in his feel
ipgs?' These are the bitter fruits of the anti
slavery agitation-turning into mockery the
doctrines of the Gospel--bringing sectional
and party politics into the pulpit, and changing
the great law of peace and good will among
men, into seething hate, discord, and sedition.
And now our three thousand delectable anti
Nebraska protesting 'clergymen, are to raise
fund of sixty thousand dollars to aid in settling
Kansas with Christian men and women from
open--the public lands there are not all yet
taken up-plenty of room in Kansas for
even the abolition neophytes of the three
thousand-the philanthropic three thou
sand-the amiable, niger worshipping, and
most godly three thousand New England
preachers, of mixed religion Of loyalty and
tresson-good will and intense hate-love and
vengeance-order and anarchy-union and Sc
dition-domestic peace and civil war-concord
and bloody evolution-harmony, and fire, and
slaughter. The Territory is open. The glove
has been thrown down-the South have taken
it up on the issue of "squatter sovereignty"
and will certainly outsquat you if they can.
They have made very little clamor with their
Emigrant Aid Societies but they have been
sending in, and are still sending in their squat
tiers to contest the question, face to face, and
side by side, with our abolition societies
and their colonists, parsons and philosophers,
saints and sinners.
The best thing, in this view of the case,
which the New England evangelical three
thousand can d. is to buckle up their traps,
settle their accounts, and take up the line of
march for Kansas in a solid body. With such
an invasion surely the border rufians" would
flee the wrath to come" or bow down in
absolute submission to the three thousand.
Perhaps in this way the three thousand might
christianize Kansas. We don't know; but we
say perhaps. Suppose they try it. Good eli
mate--fne soil-only requiring little hard
work. Send out the three thousand.

THE MILLI0NAIRE'S DAUGHTER.

One fine morning in the summer Of
1893, handsome but poorly dressed boy
called at the door Of rich merchant IN
I-e square, in New York city, and
offered some baskets of straw berries for
sale. Having disposed Of the fruit, be
was about 10 depart, when his attention
was arrested by the appearance OF beau
tiuI GIRL, some twelve years Old, who
crossed the ball near the door. She was
the daughter of the gentleman OF the
house. The kind look which she bestow'
ed on him struck a cord in bis heart
which until that moment had never Vlora-

.she is very lovely ! he exclaimed
mentally, .but she is the daughter oil a

He returned 10 the fields in search OF
more fruit. bat the remembrance of that
sunny face attended him closely IN his
rambes. :, =

.Would could make myself worthy OF
her. and the thought, though It did no:
Danish his feelings, hushed them.
A week had passed, and the little boy
again stood with palpilating heart at the
rich mans door. His fruit was P"tchaS-
ed as before. and he received his money
from the white hand of the fair one, whom
from the fist moment he had dared 10
love. She spoke kindly to hlm anu

The young heart that fiuuered IN the
bosom of that young girl was touched al
the musical though somewhat melancholy
tone in which this was uttered, and she
tlmidly replied that she "oald remember
him.

THE WORLD As II Is.

Tie world suot So bad a world
Assoma would uy to make it,
Though, whether good, or whether bad
Depends on how we take Il.
For if we scold and fret all day,
From dewy morn til even,
THIS world will ne'er afford to man
a foreta,te here o. HeaYca.
This world in truths as good a world
AS e'cn was known TO any
Who have not seen another yet;
(Ard there are very manyD
And If the men and women too
Have plenty Unemployment,
Those surely must be hard to please,
Who cannot Gnd enjoyment.
This world is quite a clever world
In rain or pleasant weather,
If fpeople would but learn 10 live
In harmony together;
Nor seek to burst The kindly bond,
By love and peace cemented;
And learn the best of lessons yet,
To always be contented.
Then were the world pleasant world
And pleasant folks were in it,
The day would pass most pleasantly
To those who thus begin it;
And all the nameless grievances,
Brought On by borrowed troubles
Would prove, as certainly they are
A mass Of empty bubbles!
