Ruth.
By THOMAS HOOD.

She stood breast high amid the corn,
Clasp'd by the golden light of morn.
Like the sweetheart of the snn
Who many glowing kiss had won.
On her cheek an autumn flush,
Deeply ripened: such blush
In the midst of brown was born.
Like red poppies grown with corn.
Round her eyes her tresses fell.
Which were blackrsf none could tell.
But long lashes veifd light
That had else been all too bright.
And her hat. with shady brim,
Mnde her tressy forehead dim.
Thus she stood amid the stocks
Praising God with sweetest looks.
Sure, said, heav'n did not mean.
Where reap tlon shouldst but CLEAN.
Lay thy slenf adown and come,
Share my harvest and my home.

The BLooA OF AeE.-A good woman never
grows old. Years may pass over her head. bnr
benevolence and virtue dwell III her heart. she
is as cheerful as when the spring of life first
opened to her view. When we look upon a
good woman, we never think of her age; she
looks as charming when the rose Of youth

PRACTICAL COUNSEL.

Amos Lawrence, of Boston, in his "Diary and
Correspondence" gives the following characters
tic counsel =
the commencement Of your journey the diff
ference between going just right and a little wrong
will be the difference between finding yourself in
good quarters or in a miserable bog or slough at
the end Of it. Do not cheat yourself by doing
what you suspect may be wrong. You are as much
accountable to your Maker for an enlightened
exercise of your conscience as you would be to me
to use due diligence in taking care of a bag of
money which | might send to you"
"Good principles, good temper and good will,
will carry 4 man through the world much better
than he can get along with the absence of either.
The most important is good principles" Tempt
alton if successfully resisted, strengthens the char
acter; but it should always be avoided. The NOR
al taste, like the natural, is vitiated by abuse
"He whose life ends at thirty may have done much
while he who has reached the age of one hundred
may have done little" Bring home no foreign
fancies which are inapplicable to our state of soci-
ety."

INVITATION TO FEMALE EMIGRANTs.-The Con.
stitution framed by the recent Convention of the
people Of Kansas contains the following provis-
ion:
That the General Assembly shall have no power
to pass any law whereby the separate estate of Il
married woman either in property real, personal,
or mixed shall ever be made subject to the disposal
of the husband, or subject to the payment of debss
of the husband in any manner unless by written
consent of the wife first Cbtsined, duly acknowledge
ed and recorded, witnessed by at least two witness
es to be named by the wife. That the General
Assembly shall have no power to pass any law de.
priving the mother of an equality with the father
in the maintenance, education, and care of their
children and in no case shall the mother be de-
prived Of her children except on account of insan-
ity, intemperance, or other gross improprieties.
Unless the older States are willing to risk the
loss of the flower Of their female population, we
see nothing left for them but to initiate the exam
pie of Kansas.

POLITICAL ABOLITION.
MARLBORO, Dec. 6, 1855,

PARIS, Canada West, Dec. 9Th. 1855.
To The Editor Of the A. S. Bugle:
DEAR FRIEND-That politicians as such, can any
of them be of any service in the abolition of slave
~, is l submit a delusion, which cannot by any
means outlive the application of common sense to
the examination of the question.
Slavery is the being held by violence in subjcc-
tion to the will of another; that is all slavehold-
ers are guilty of nothing worse; all the cruelties
and polutions of slavery are included therein.
Pray what else than to subject by violence, one
man to the will of another, is the work of politics?
Politics rests on the alleged unftness for ~se!fgov-
eminent Of mankind in general, including the
most intelligent and moral, while Abolition is the
assertion of the fitness for selfgovernment of ne
groes in their deep debasement of Slavery, and the
giving them the liberty thereof. Political rule
and slave rule are one-one creed-that men are
not fit for liberty, and ought not to be trusted there
with-one object-to subject them-one instru-
neutrality-suspicious. spirit-they subject to
the extent OF their ability-permit no liberty they
can hinder. Politics is Slavery, under restraint
kept at bay by the vigiient assertion Of the claims
Of self. government. Slavery is but Politics fully
developed-carri ont TO its consistent consume
ton. Political Abolition is a contradiction in terms
in opperation Is would be Satan casting out Sa-
tan!

II was n Catholic cross, about fifteen inches ia

II is supposed to have belonged to one Of the

antiquity. The Catholic Bishop OF this diocese is

Kansas alone to elect their own officers and their
own laws The very fact of their sending hired,
armed force into Kansas, as they did, to prevent
the exercise of the right of citizenship on the part
of those lawfully entitled to vote, shows that in the
judgement Of Atchison and his compccrs who led
on that Hessian army, majority of the actual,
bona fde settlers were anti-slavery. This being
so-thc saveocrats finding that those actual,
bona fde settlers would not give cup again to slavery
what had been for two generations solemnly
pledged to freedom-Atchison, with his mob Of
hired bulles from another State, invaded Kansas,
conquered its peaceful citizens, and then proceeded
to elect persons of their own invading force to
membership in the Kansas Legislature.
AT this stage of the case-whcn the free settlers
of Kansas being conquered by a foreign enomy,

Let no little petty ambitions of public men in Mas

ted hopes of the country. (Cheers)
Gentlemen, do not propose at this late hour,
to dctain you longer. have briefly expressed my
own feeling and wishes in this matter We have
performed our duty. We have committed our
selves to the policy of freedom, We have ayowcd
our determination to carry out those American
principles for which this party in Massachusetts
was organized Let us carry out those princi
pies. Let us place the American party in har
mony with the wants of the country and pro
grcssive advancement of the cause Of human liber
ty in America.
Let us Nbjurc all that is narrow, bigotcd, or in
tolerant Lot us place the principles of the party
in harmony with the Democratic sentiment of the
age, and we shall triumph. We may be defeated
in 1856. l believe, however, if we are wise, we
shall triumph in Massachusetts,, in New England
and in all the free States. We shall elect the next
Congress, committed to the policy of freedom We
shall elect President of the United States who
will be true to the cause of human liberty, and
those American ideas that underlie the American
mission. (Cheers)
The speeches were well received, and the course
pursued by the delegates unanimously endorsed.
