Life.

1t comes as a thought, it tarries as dream,
il continues as shadows the thinking of
u thought, or the dreaming of a dream, it
wastes itself away.
1t lends existence to the leaf, the flower,
the tree; to animals, to man and Angels
The flower grows to blossom and decay
Man lives, alone TO hope his life away;
The Heeting flower phantasy but seems
Man leaves his mark, the shadowings Of dreams

tracts:

The flying cloud, the evanescent vapor, the

scarcely blooms ere it is faded, and whose

OF A fair and gentle reader furnished us
a passing incident:
"Our Emma, (who had just seen her fourth
summer) asked at breaskfast-What day is
this?''
On being told that 1t was Sunday, she
said, "Ah! don't know it is Sunday ?-don't
| hear the birds singing?"
Sweet innocent, she could only associate
the happy carrolling Of the birds with the
God appointed Sabbath of the world.

For the information Of our readers, and as
matter of general reference, we publish the
following statement Of the Organization OF
the Bank of the State of Indiana. We are
compelled to acknowledge that The organiza-
ton of this institution has been characterized
by the exercise of consumate wisdom and
prudence,-a fact that is evidenced by an
exhibit of the names of the officers elected;
gentlemen, who, in the aggregate, constitute a
large portion of the most substantial business
talent of the country.

Learn and Be wise.

The defeat of the Republicans in Maine
is hailed as triumph by the Slave Democ-
racy. It was a Liquor issue from beginning
to end, yet a victory is claimed with perfect
assurance. 1t is no use to show that the
Slave Democracy once had majority in
Maine of 5000 or 10000 and that now the
popular majority is 9, 900 against them. 1t
is of no use to show that they cannot carry
the Legislature without the aid of the pes
tilent and ravenous old Wings, into whose
arms they everywhere else warn their
lambs not to throw themselves. Still it is
claimed as Pierce victory. A few such
victories would bring them to nothing and
make their enemies overwhelming ly power
full. ii. -
The men of Ohio may take lesson from
this exulation. The people who have some
idea OF voting for TRIMBLE, can preceive
that even the defeat of CHASE would be
crowed all over the North and South
as triumph Of Pierce, Shannon and Pugh
and full endorsement of that worthy trio
although the Democratic party might not
have one third of the yotes.-Toledo Blade.

Astounding DeVeIOpmentS--GOv. Me-
dill one of the Prime Movers la
the Infamous Kansas SWimdIe,

tie infamous Kansas SWimdIe.
The fact that Gov. MediIl is proclaiming
himself full-blooded Freesoiler in the
North, 'httle treesoH" in the interior, and
a daring champion of Squatter Sovereignty
in the South, has brough out some of OhiO's
gallant sons who dared to oppose the Kan
sas-Nebraska swindle upon the freemen of
the North. We have it from good author
ity, and now CHARGE, that WILLIAM MEDILL,
the present Sag Nicht leader and candidate
for Governor Of Ohio, during the pendeRcy
Of this Infamous outrage upon freedom and
the sacred compact between the States of
this Union, the "Missouli Compromise, -
made it his business to visit Washington,
and there urge personally and privately up
on every Democratic delegate from Ohio,
the great Importance of bis vote and inhu-
ence for this most hellish outrage upon eV-
cry sacred compact that should connect
and bind this people together as nation,
for the reason that it would become the
"chief corner stone'' in the cardinal prinei-
pies that should bind together the tottering
fabric OF the present Administration! We
make this charge from the authority of one
of the Democratic Delegates from 6ar State,
who had the manliness and honesty to re-
cord his vote against this unholy swindle.
We further charge, and CAN PROVE that
during this same visit one ofthe refractory
Ohio Delegates was brought into direct
contact with President Pierce and Govern
or Medill, when both these VOrthies threat
ened the vengeance of the Democratic par
ty of Ohio upon his head if he dared to
uote against this damning blight upon free
dom.
Such, Americans, Democrats, is the man
whom the unprincipled leaders Of the Sag
Nicht Treasury Eating Gang in Ohio would
have you vote for the office Of Governor o.
the third State in the Unionl
We find the above charges in the Ian.
caster Gazette, paper published at the
residence of Gov. Medill. It is edited BY
responsible persons. The statements are
tangible, and the Governor can at once ad-
NIT or deny them. He will probably dc
neither. lie has not denied that when al
the National Convention that nominated
Pierce, lie voted against the Ohio resolu-
tiOns, against Slavery, and also voted IN
favor Of the fnality pro-Slavery resolutions
of that Convention. That he acted the
part here charged We have no doubt from
what's known as the character of the man
Yet the candidate, who is guilty of such
conduct, has the temerity to ask anti-Slave
ry men of the Northwest and all over the
State TO vote for him for Governor, on the
ground that be was opposed to the repea
of the Missouri Compromise and is in favor
of freesoil. 1t may be well for these vot
ers to understand thoroughly their man
before they venture to throw away then
vote by assisting to replace him in the
Governors chair.-O. s. Journal

BRUTAL TREATMENT oR A LITTLE Girl BIZ
HER STEPMoTHER-We have some partic-
ulars relating 20 a reroltiDg act By STEP
mother on little girl said to be her step
daughter, which occurred in Canton nOt
many days ago. 1t is said the little girl
committed some trivial act in disobedience
to the orders of the woman for which Of
fence she was shamefullY scourged until the
flesh was torn in strips from the child's body
in some places, and in others raised in enoE-
nous black and blue welts; after which,
the little girl was confined in a dark cellar
from two to three days, during which time
her whole substance consisted Of scraps Of
ap-grease. The brother Of the child
young man of respectable standing, upon
hearing the circumstance, repaired immedi-
to the house, and burst open the cellar door
released his famished and bTutally abused
sister from her horrid imprisonment. Hav-
ing taken her to place of safety, he lost
no time in procuring a raWhide, with which
he administered Well-deserVed castigstion
to the unfeeling, souIless creature who had
committed this diabolical outrage. We are
told it became necessary to summon ply
sician to lance the welts raised upon the
little girls body by the whip Of the unfeel-
ing stepmother.-LsaOistOn ny DsnsOcTat.

CAUGHT AND CoNFEssED.-A young man
named Alonzo West was arrested few
days ago, indicted in the 81. Joseph Cir
cult Court for placing distractions on the
Michigan Southern Road, and plead guilty
to the charge. The sentence is deferred
for the present. West is the son Of farm

years of age. He says he obstrusted the
road merely to see Smash up" and that
be did not desire to kill any one. He has
respectable connections who are over
whelmed with distress at the revelation Of
his crime. -
