Wealth.

The character of man to vast ex-
tent seems now to depend upon his
wealth. Destitute of this, his goodness,
morality, and we may safely say, even
his Christian character are of but little
importance N the estimation of large
portion of communities. However de-
sirous of the welfare and prosperity OF
his fellow creatures, but few compare
lively viii cooperate and sympathize
in his labors if fortune has not smiled
upon him.
True, there are some noble men,
whose hearts respond to the call of a
poor, honest man, but by far the largest
number ''pass him by" Those who
have suffered the chilling pangs of pow
erty can best understand the chief object
of life. They have seen and felt the in
fiuence of wealth upon society, and can
testify to the truth, that in numberless
instances, money makes the man. and
decides his rank in society. While roll
ing in the tide of wealth, his advice is
good, his Judgment desirable, and his
society agreeable. But when adver-
sity meets him, he feels the cold
indifference with which he is met
by the largest portion of his acquaint-
ances, most keenly. Though his society
may not actually be avoided, the change
is visible aud poignantly felt. We
need disappointment to teach US truth, !"
and it is amid these troubles that he
feels the force of these words. The
selfshness and pride of the human heart
is then delinea.ed as never before. But
even though the clouds may gather thick
and fast, threatening 10 cover the whole
armament, there are some sunny spots,
some clear sky. There are few kind
friends, whose constancy we should ap-
preciate, and for which we should be
grateful. There is a poverty of soul
which is sad indeed, and from which we
should shrink. He who has wealth OF
mind, and soul that is alive TO all that
is beautiful-who can look at all times
from Nature to Natures God and -
joice in his inexhaustible goodness, even
though woful times may come, is almost
to be envied. Let US then seek those
treasures of mind and riches of soul
which viii enable Us TO find enjoyment
during the darkest hours of life. Let
US seek that wisdom whose price is far
above rubies," and labor for the i'm
mortal soul, which is of infinite worth.

Age.

But few men die of old age Almost
all die of disappointment, passional, ment-
al or bodily toll or accident. The pas
sions kill men sometimes, even suddenly.
The common expression, s'choked with
passion" has little exageration in it:
even though not suddenly fatal, strong
passions shorten life. Strong bodied
men often die young-weak men live
longer than the strong, for the strong use
their strength, and the weak have none
to use. The latter take care of them
selves, the former do not. As ii is with
the body, so it is with the mind and
temper. The strong are apt to break
down, or, like the candle, to run; the
weak burn out The inferior animals,
which live, in general, regular and tenn
perate lives, have generally their pre-
scribed term of years. The horse lives
twenty live years the OK fifteen to twen-
ty +; the lion about twenty the dog to
twelve the rabbit eight; the guinea
pig six or seven years. These numbers
all bear similar proportion to the time
the animal takes to grow to its full size.
When the cartilaginous parts of the
bone become ossifed, the bones ceases
to grow. This takes place in man at
about twenty years on the average in the
camel at eight; horse at FIVE; in the OK at
four in the lion at four in the dog at
two in the cat at eighteen months; in
the rabbit at twelve in the guinea-pig
at seven. Five or six times these num-
bers give the term of life FIVE is pretty
near the avarage some animals great
ly exceed it. But man, of all the an
imals, is the one that seldom comes up
to his average. He ought 10 I've hun
! -dred years, according to his physiologi-
cal law, for five times twenty are hun
dred, but instead of that, he scarcely
reaches on the avearge, four times his
growing period whilst the dog reaches
six times I; the Cat six times: and the
rabbit even eight times the standard OF
measurements. The reason is obvious
man is not only the most Incorporate,
but the most laborious and hard worked
of all animals. He is also the most IT.
ritable of all animals and there is reason
to believe, though We cannot tell what
an animal secretly feels, that more than
any other animal, man cherishes wrath
to keep it warm, and consumes himself
with the fire of his own secret rehec-
tions.-BkackwoodS Magazine.

Diissce!iapeoQs.
The Slave Boy.


The slave boy escapes many troubles
which befall and vex his white brother.
He seldom has to listen to lectures or
propriety of behavior, or on anything
else. He is never chided for handling
his little knife and fork improperly or
awkwardly, for he uses none. He is
never reprimanded for soiling the table
cloth, for he takes his meals on the clay
floor. He never has the misfortune, in
his games or sports, of soiling or tearing
his cloths, for he has almost none to soil
or tear. He is never expected to act like
a nice little gentleman, for he is only a
rude little slave Thus freed from all
restraint, the slave boy can be, in his
life and conduct, a genuine boy, doing
whatever his boyish nature suggests /;
enacting, by turns, all the strange antics
and freaks of horses, dogs, pigs, and
barn-door fowls, without in any manner
compromising his dignity or incurring
reproach of any sort. He literally runs
wild has no pretty little verses to learn
in the nursery no nice little speeches to
make for aunts, uneles or cousins, to
show how smart he is; and if he can
only manage to keep out of the way of
the heavy feet and fists of the older slave
boys, he may trot on in his joyous and
rougish tricks, as happy as any little
heathen under the palm-hees of Africa.
Tobe sure, he is occasionally reminded
when he stumbles in the path of his
master-and this he early learns to
avoid-that he is eating his "white
bread" and that he will be made to ''see
sights" by-and- by. The threat is soon
forgotten f; the shadow soon passes, and
our sable boy continues to roll in the
dust, or play in the mud, as best suits
him, in the veriest freedom. If he feels
uncomfortable from mud or from dust,
the road is clear /; he can plunge into the
river or pond, without the ceremony of
undressing, or the fear of wetting his
clothes; his little tow-linen shirt-for
that is all he has on-is easily dried and
1T needed ablution as much as his skin.
His food is of the coarsest kind, consist
ing of the most part of corn-meal mush,
which often finds its wdy from the
wooden tray to his mouth in an oyster
shell. His days, when the weather is
warm, are spent in the pure, open air,
and in bebright sunshine. He always
sleeps in airy apartments he seldom
has to take powders. or to be paid to
swallow pretty little suSar-coased pills,
to cleanse his blood or to quicken his
appetite. He eats no candies gets no
Jumps ofloaf sugar; always relishes his
food cries but little, for nobody cares
for his crying; learns to esteem his
bruises but Slight. because others SO
esteem them. In a word, he is, for the
most part of the first eight years of his life,
a spirited, joyous, uproarious and hap
py boy, upon whom troubles fall only
| like water on ducks back. And such
boy, so far as | can remember, was
the boy whose lie in slavery | am now
narrating.-Fredrick Douglas AmtoJt-
ogrophy.

Matter Invisible.

If piece of silver be put into nitric
acid, clear and colorless liquid, it Is
rapidly desolved. aud vanishes from
sight The solution of silver may be
mixed with water, and to appearance no
affect whatever is produced; thus, in a
pail of water we desolye and render in
visible more than ten pounds worth of
siver, not particle of which can be
seen. Not only silver, lead, and iron,
but every other metal can be treated in
the same way, with the similar recults.--
When charcoal is burned, when candles
are burned, when paper is burned, these
substances all disappear, and become
invisible. In fact. every material which
is visible can, by certain treatment,
be rendered invisible. Matter which III
one condition is perfectly opaque. and
will not admit the least ray of light to
pass through it will, in another form, be-
come quite transparent.
The cause of this most wonderful eff
feet of the condition of matter, is utter
ly inexplicable. Philosophers do not
even broaeh theories upon this subject,
much less do they endeavor to explain
it. The substances desolved in water or
burned in the air, are not however des-
troyed or lost; by certain well known
means they can be recovered. and again.
and again be rendered visible; some In.
exactly the same state as they were be-
fore their invisibility others, though
not in the same state, can be shown in
their elementary condition and thus 1t
can be proved that matter having once
existed, never ceases to exist. although
it can change its condition, like the cat
erpiller, which becomes chrysalis, and
then gorgeous butterfly. If pailfui
of the solution of silver be cast into the
sea, it is apparently lost by its disper-
sion in the mighty ocean, but neverthe-
less it continues to exist. So, when
bushel of charcoal is burned in stove,
it disappears in consequence of the gas
produced being mixed with the vast at
mosphere but the charcoal is still in the
air. On the brightest and sunniest day
when every object can be distinctly seen
above the horizon, hundreds of tons OF
charcoal, in an invisible condition, per-
raded the air. Glass is beautiful illus
tration of the transparency of COM
pound, which in truth is nothing but
mixture of the rust of three metals.
This power of matter to change its
conditions from solid opacity to lmpid
transparency, causes some rather puz-
zling phenomena. Substances increase
in weight without any apparent cause
for instance, plant goes on increasing
in weight hundred fold Cor every atom
that is missing from the earth in which
it is growing. Now the simple expla-
nation of this is that leaves of the plants
have the power of Withdrawing the
charcoal from the atmosphere and re-
storing to its visible state in some shape
or other. The lungs of animals and a
smokeless furnace change matter from
its visible to its invisible state. The
gills of fishes and the leaves of plants
reverse this operation, rendering inyisi-
bic or gaseous matter visible. Thus the
balance in nature is maintained, although
the continual change has been going on
long prior to the creationof the extinct
animals"

The Bedside Of the pvins.

Among the scenes of human experi-
ence, there is no other so demonstrative
of the invisible world, as that which Is
met by the bedside of the dying. There
is none other, either, which inpresses its
lessons with stronger appeal OF imprints
them more indelibly on the mind which
receives them. As one enters the room
where the dying disciple is parting from
the earth. it is evident at glance that
the world and its pleasures have now lost
their attraction. Tie lightthatis upon the
earth. of morning or evening, is indeed
sweet as ever; butt is not now charm
ing to the senses alone. It has some-
thing sacred, celestial, init for that
freed soul, just parting from is bonds,
connects it with Him whose smile il IS.
and finds it prophetic of higher state
of being.

Illegal Voting.

The day on which Gen. Whitfield was
voted for as Delegate to Congress, his
Missouri friends turned out in large
numbers at Wyandot, Delaware, and
at this place, and perhaps at many more
districts. One remarkable friend cast
his fathers ballot and his own also, his
father being sick in Missouri. Ofcourse
he paid the Dollar for the old man-the
dollar, or the father, it may be said, voted
for the General. The turnout, though
large, was, doubtless, many votes short
of that cast for the General at his election
last fall and yet while these late occur
rences are fresh before the people of
Kansas, we hear of a move to devise
means TO sustain the laws of the Kansas
Legislature We have never advised
any foFcible resistance to those laws
we have advised all 10 acquiesee in the
laWs passed by that body, and we have
also at the same time insisted that the
organic act should be sacredly obeyed
and observed to the letter We think it
due to self-respect, as well as to Terrific
rial pride, tia. our citizens should do
their own vosins, make theis, own laws,
and adopt for themselves their own in
stitutions, witsout the interference of
the people of Missouri or any other State.
That this much ought TO be conceded to
our citizens, and re venture all high
minded men ofthe really Southern States
will agree with us-we know they will
I'VE know that outside interference in
the local affairs of Kansas is not even
countenanced or desired by the. people
of the South.-7errit9rial Register.

The Rallot-Box in Kansas.

In every region where we have resid-
ed until we made Kansas our home, we
have looked upon the ballot-box as the
palladium of liberty. In every State in
the Union tits guarded BY the most strin-
gent laws. Fines and imprisonment are
liked as the reward of any man who will
dare vote when he knows he is not cit
izen. Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
and all their compatriots, warned the
American people against inyasions of the
ballot7box: they told their countrymen
that upon its purity depended the glory
of our institutions. Such now are the
opinions of all honorable men in every
State and Territory in this great and
prosperous Republic. But, alas for
Z Kansas and Squatter Sovereignty! the
baliot-box here is the most ridiculous
farce that ever disgraced any civilized
community Where we have taken part
in elections heretofore the great object of
parties has been TO get before the people
the strong man-the man who could get
the most votes; but in Kansas the pass
word is, "How many votes can we get
over from Missouri?''
An election took place in this county
on last Monday for 1he county seat, and
we had hoped at least that the citizens of
the county would have been permitted
to settle that question without any 'aid
and comfort" from our neighbors in
Missouri; but to the utter asto1shment
of ''all the world and the rest of man
kind, " Leavenwo,th county is found to
contain nearly as many voters as the
State of Delaware or Rhode Island. At
Kickapoo, where it is we'll known there
are not more than two hundred legal
voters, they polled, as we are Informed,
eight hundred or more votes, beating
Leayenworth between seyenty-hye and
one hundred votes. But the best part of
the farce is yet to be told. The little
town of Delaware, below Leayenworth,
had also many friends in Missouri, and
although she could not poll more than
sixty legal votes, and was not supposed
to be dangerous competitor, 70 the great
pleasure of her people she doomed up 10
between eight and nine hundred votes,
amidst shouts .'lhat sounded like the
rushing of many waters"
How long is this to continue? Is
Kansas to become a by-word for all hon.
orable men? We answer that it will
continue until Kansas gets Legislature
that viii enact laws to punish men for
such outrages upon their neighbors, in
stead of offering to sell the right of suf-
frage to the people of Missouri for one
dollar. These outrages upon the people
of Kansas have saddled US with code of
laws that are already called the Blue
Laws of Kansas. and would have DIS
graeed the dark ages of barbarism.-
But there IS better timc coming TER
