Here they are -
Near the golden rivers tide
Lay the hunter down and sigh'd
He had left the eastern side
Where mother, Where bride
With tear.drop in the eye
Babe the lov'd one good bye.
But the death damp on his brow
Told the weary hunter now
He would never greet them more
On this side of Times dark shore
Though as sleep upon him fell
Dream d Of their sybil spell.
Dreamed he that his loving bride
lowered gently by his side
Dceamcd he that mother now
Pressed his wan an aching brow
Dreamed he that their lips touch d his
In one long. one long ove-kiss.
In moment all was o'cr
And he only saw the shore
Covered with the golden sand
And he press d his wither'd hand
On his pale and furrow'd brow
With a pang of stygian flow.
Mother. was the feeble tone
Bride came lingering and lone
And the spirit burst the clay
And in death the hunter lay
While the swiftly flowing tide
Piled the gold sands by his side.

LIBEL SUIrs.-Some itinerant Snowman by
the name of Gully, thinking himself aggrieved
by publication in the Louisville Courier, and
being deluded into the belief that Haldeman
was responsible being, sued him for libel.
The case was tried few days since before a
jury, and verdict was rendered against the
plaintiff. There was no question about the
publication being libellous, but the jury held
that Haldeman could not be made either per-
sonally or legally responsible for anything he
might publish, as nobody ever believed any,
thing he said. We honor the verdict of the

Letter from kansas.

We publish to-day another Kansas letter,
giving details of the action of the Kansas
Constitutional Convention 1t also alludes to
duel in prospect between distinguished
member of the Convention and an outsider
Our correspondent exhibits more caution
than is justified by the circumstances in not
giving names. As we learn from another
source, the parties were Col. Lane, of this
State, President of the Convention and Mr.
Lowry. Gov. Reeder's private Secretary. The
Committee appointed by the Convention, insist
ed that Lane should withdraw the challenge
he had sent Lowry, while Lowry should with
draw his acceptance. Lowry very properly
replied that he would withdraw his acceptance
when the challenge was withdrawn and not be-
fore. A duel may afterwards have ensued, or
the matter of difficulty, which has not trans
pired, may have been 'laid on the table"
There appears to be rivalry between Reeder
and Lane. Both want to lead in Kansas pol
itics. Lane is rather binding the Free Soil
men there, we think. He seems to us very
