TRUE BEAUTY.

True beauty is not located in the form or
features, but has its origin in the heart and
mind. To be truly beautiful, we must be
gentle, kind, and good. One hasty word,
one unkind act, may mar the beauty of the
most lovely face, and convert it into one of
positive ugliness. Beauty Of form is easily
destroyed by sickness and age, while the beau
ty of the mind retains its freshness unaffected
by the march of time. Although nature
may not have given us beauty, yet how love-
ly may we become by practicing an oblging
disposition, seeking to make others happy by
an active regard for their comfort, and SYM
pathizing with them in misfortune. All de-
sire to be beloved; and though the person be
one of matchless loveiness, if the heart is sell
fish and unfeeling it will fail to procure friends
1t is far more important to adom the mind
than the body. Artificial beauty is mere
establishment, and is unsubstantial and does
not suffice. But true beauty will grow bright
er as heart and mind expand, and when the
mortal part shall decay, will remain nnblem-
ished, and bloom through all eternity.

BACHELORS HOUSEKEEPLNG

Perhaps bachelors are good housekeepers,
but | fear not, Judging from what heard a
friend say who paid one of this class morn
ing visit, not long since. He gave quite an
amusing description of the bachelors sane
tum"-only one room to fill the place of par
lor, bedroom, pantry and kitchen. The bed
Q will have pity on the poor bach" and
omit the particulars in regard to that) occu-
pied one corner, an old pine table that was
just ready to tumble down with old age an
other, and cupboard the third. This
latter piece of furniture contained two plates,
two knives and forks, a pitcher and two glass
es--for the old bachelor never drank tea and
coffee except on Sundays, and then he usual
ly visited neighbor to possess himself Of that
delicious beverage, for he was unable to pre-
pare it for himself, this was beyond his knowl-
edge in the culinary department.
The master of this mansion sat reading his
newspaper when my friend raped gently
at the door. 1t was his usual habit when
taking up the paper to look first at the list of
marriages, which frequently brought heavy
sigh that his own name had never appeared
in the list. My friend judged he had just
finished his first perusal by the confusion he
manifested when he met him at the doorway
and invited him to enter He offered him
the only vacant chair, and they entered into
lively conversation on the topics Of the day,
which lasted until dinner time. This caused
an invitation to dine, which was accepted,
and my friend had the pleasure of seeing an
old bachelor commence preparations for re-
past. He went to work in decidedly awk-
ward manner, but managed after long time
to get what he called dinner, and they sat
down to the table. The bread, says my
friend, was like its maker, rather old and un-
inviting, scarcely endurable; potatoes boiled
and served with peelings on, and the meat
we could take our choice, rare or well done
for it was burnt on one side and raw on the
other-a glass of water for each, and this
completed our dinner. My friend concludes
he will never be an old bachelor, and con
clude such housekeepers as the above
surely need "the better half"

Reports have reached us that there are
one thousand men in Lawrence, organized
and ready for resistance, all armed with
Sharpe's rifles, and that they are entrench-
ing themselves as rapidly as they possibly
can.
From another source we learn that the
better men in Lawrence say they are willing
to give up all concerned in the affair, if the
legally authorized persons seek it; other
wise they will resist to desperation. Gov.
Shannon, In response, said: "Why not de-
liver them to the Sheriff or to the U. S.
Marshal who have already demanded them q
Trouble will no doubt result from it, as much
excitement exists on both sides.
A meeting is now being held in Kansas
to see if some measures cannot be adopted to
terminate the matter peaceably if possible
but forcibly if necessary.
On Saturday, Gov. Shannon applied tc
President Pierce by telegraph, for assistance
from the u. S. Troops at Fort Riley anc
Leavenworth; and, until such aid is granted
nothing will be done, unless the excitement
of the parties concerned will bring on tn,
crisis before. If SO, many valuable lives will
be lost 3 n gr c. rr

"Charity envieth not."-ST. PAUL.


CoNTENT.-The country Miss who is oblig-
ed to form and preserve an acquaintance with
the wash tub and cooking utensils, may some
times wish that the daughter of wealth
might be compelled to exchange places with
herself; that boy whose hands are busted with
the shovel and hoe, may think that he who
handles the yard stick behind counter, and
he whose hours are devoted to sports for "kill-
ing time'' have happier lot than his own
the stirring wife Of the farmer is prone to
wish that she, like the Squire's lady, could sit
down in the parlor with clean apron on as
often and as long as she pleased; the farmer
himself may look with discontented eye
on those who seem to get ahead with less
hard work than comes in his own course.
But, good friends, young and old, male and
female, yours is a condition abounding in as
many solid comforts as any other Charity
will not envy, and why should it not? This
envy disquiets its possessor, it blsters the SOU
in which it burns. Avoid it and seek con.
tentment with your lot. Seek for charity
she is the fruit most profitable for cultivation
Faith is the root fixing itself and feeding il
the soil of truth; hope is the heaven-aspiring
blade; charity is the immortal fruit. Will
this rpened in your moral field you are rich

The Union of this morning contains the
correspondence between the President and
Gov. Shannon. Shannon's dispatch says:
81 desire you to call on the United States
forces at Leavenworth to preserve the peace
of the Territory, and to protect the Sheriff
of Douglas County and enable him to exc
cute the legal process in his hands. If the
laws are not executed civil war is inevitable.
An armed force, one thousand strong, with all
the implements of war, it is said are at Law
renee They have rescued prisoner from
the Sheriff, burned houses, and threatened
the lives of citizens. Immediate assistance
is desired, as this is the only way to save
bloodshed. Particulars by mail"
The President replies as follows: a -
Gall the power vested in the Executive
will be exerted to preserve order and enforce
the laws. On receipt of your letter, the
preliminary measures necessary to be taken
before calling out the troops will be prompt
ly executed, and you will then be fully ad-
vised."

TAKE CARE OF YoUR THoUoHrs.- be-
gins in the heart. If you can keep your
thoughts pure, your life will be blameless.-
The indulgence of sinful thoughts and de-
sires produces sinfulness When lust hath
conceived, it bringeth forth SIM The pleas
urable contemplation Of sinful deed is usu-
ally followed by its commission. Never al
low yourself to pause and consider the pleas
ure or profit you might derive from this or
that sin. Close your mind against the sug-
gestlon at once, as you would lock and bolt
your doors against robber. If Eve had not
stood parleying with the devil, and admir-
ing the beautiful fruit, the earth might have
yet been paradise. No one becomes
thief, fornicator, or murderer at once. The
mind must be corrupted. The wicked sug-
gestion must be indulged and revolved in the
thoughts until it looses its henious deformity,
and the anticipated gain or pleasure comes
to outweigh the evils of the transgression.
Your imagination is apt to paint forbidden
pleasure in gay and dazzling colors. 1t is
the serpents charm. Gaze not upon the pic
ture. Suffer not the intruder to get lodg-
ment. Meet the enemy at the Threshold
and drive it from your heart. AS rule, the
more familiar you become with sin the less
hateful it appears, so that the more COM
pletely you preserve your mind from unholy
and wicked thoughts the better. Avoid the
society where obscenity or blasphemy is heard.
Cultivate the society of the virtuous. read
nothing that is unchaste or immoral. Make
covenant with your eyes, Familiarize not
your mind with the loathsome disease of
crime. Never harbor malicious or envious
thoughts. Direct your thoughts towards
pure and holy subjects. Contemplate the
character Of the pure and spotless Son Of
God. Keep your spirit untainted, your
thoughts uncontaminated SO shall your life
be virtuons. AS man thinketh, so he is.--
Take care of your thoughts, and the actions
will take care Of themselves. lsrod

MEDALS TO AMERICAN ExH1BIToRs.-Th
Paris correspondent of the New York Com
mercial Advertiser states that the juries at
the Paris Exhibition (acting Independently
of each other) had allowed total of 488
medaiVes d'honneur (arge gold medals,) of
which the United States were found to have
four; one to McC CoRMIcK, one to GOODYEAR,
one to Lieut.. MAURY, and one to PITTs. But,
after three weeks Of stormy debate which
would have done honor to a French legisla-
tive assembly in revolutionary times, the num-
Der of medaiHes dhonneur was reduced to
to l4O, of which the United States will only
get two, and these two 90 to Mccormick and
Goodyear. The government Of France gives,
with the two medals of honor, two flags,
which are to be presented to the government
of the United States as trophies. Pitts
thresher receives a gold medal of the group
class. In the Fine Arts department, Messrs.
May and Rossiter of New York, are announc-
ed as having drawn medals of the second
class, (bronze.)
We learn from Mr.. Welton, that the Kent
Co. Agricultural Society have purchased, on
liberal terms, of Mr.. J. w. Winsor, "a acres
of the tract of land lying near the Plank
Road, and opposite Mr.. E. Halls residence,
for the use of said Society. This is truly
consummation long needed and wished for,
by our agricultural community.
We would here call the attention of the
members of the Executive Committee to the
fact that the time for holding the meeting of
the Kent Co. Agricultural Society, has been
changed from the goth to the 9th inst
This change is rendered necessary, as the
President will be unavoidably absent on the
goth, in attendance on the meeting Of the
State Agricultural Executive Committee.
