more refned-why not our proverbs,
most of which have, owing to their broad
Saxon construction, lecome I" awful xul-

Interest

Rev. II. w. Beecher thus gives his
opinion upon farming upon borrowed cap
ital. and one of the best definitions Of In
terest that we ever read -" No blister
draws sharper than interest does. of all
Industries none is comparable to that OF
interest, it has no sound IN It's footsteps,
but travels fast 1t gnaws into a man 5
substa nee with invisible teeth. 1t binds
industry with film, as fly is bound upon
a SPIDERS web. Debt rolls a man over
and over, binding him hand and foot, and
letting him hang upon the fatal mesh un-
I'll the long-legged interest deEours HIM
There is no crop that can afford to pay IN
terest money on farm. There Is bu,
one thing raised on the farm like 1t, and
that is the Canada thistle, which swarmS
new plants every time you break Its roots
whose blossoms are prolific, and every
flower the father Of million seeds. Ev
erv leaf is am awl, every branch a spear
and every single plant IS like platoon o
bayonets' and a field full Of them IS hike
am armed host. The whole plant is tor
ment and vegetable curse. And yet
farmer had better make his bed OF Cana
da this,les, than attempt to lie at ease up
on interest.

Herbors and R;vers-whon can we Trust ;

The West has been once cheated by
the election of Franklin Pierce, who has
vteoad every dollar of appropriations for
the benefit Of our Hardor Improvements,
and for which the people have called 50
unequivocally. He declares that the Plat
form of his party, ard which was recently
re-adopted at Cincinnati demands tt
Now then, the people of the West are
once more called upon to choose between
two candidates, JAMES BUcHANAS and
JOHN G. FREMoHr. Mr.. Buchanan, as
L. S. Senator, did vote for appropriations
for Western Harhors and Rivers HIS
record has been in his favor. But 1t should
be borne in mind that JAMES BUcHANAH
was committed to the Missouri Compromise
as decisively as to any act of his whole life.
Yet he has changed, and now endorses It's
repeal, alb initio, in the Cincinnati Plat-
form, as a wise and Just measure. 1t Is
clear then that there is no security from
his past views and votes The Southern
politicians demanded that Pierce shculd
vetoe the St Clair Flats appropriation, and
he obeyed. The same class of politicians
will demand it Of BUcHASAN, and we be-
lieve that he will yield likewise.
But JOHN c. FREMoSr Is right beyond
all doubt His sympathies are with our
people and our measures. His Platform
which he cordially accepts demands 1t,
and he will sign every fair bill that Con-
gress will pass, because such approprla-
tons are Just and national, though denounc-
ed by the leading Pierce-Buchanan par
tisans at Washington Daily Wis

The case Stated.

. Notwithstanding the lowering aspect
of affairs in Kansas, we still entertain
hope that all difficulties will be settled
without bloodshed, The popular doctrine
the doctrine which is said to have been
established by the Nebraska Kansas bill
Is, that the people of Territory--the bo-
ma fde seulers-have the right TO manage
their own affairs In their own way. This
right. if il exist, includes .!;c calling Con-
ventions, the election Of Assemblymen,
the appointment Of public officers, and the
doing of all things which may be consid-
cred conducive to the welfare Of the Ter
ritory At the first election of delegates
III Kansas, II IS alleged, thai the polls
were seized by citizens of Missouri, who
dismissed the regularly appointed judges
and appointed others who were not resi-
dents in Kansas, voted in their own men,
and thus obtained the control in the Leg
islature. If this be true, the people un-
doubiedly have right to correct the pro-
ceeding by choosing new legislators and
making new laws TO suit themselves. In
fact, In old organized States, with regular-
ly adopted constitutions, the people have
assumed and exercised the right of re-
peaiing SAID constitutions and substituting
others, in express opposition to the pro-
visions Of the constitution which has been
thus overthrown.
This was done in Maryland-and if
. it was right here. why should the people
Of Kansas be denied the privilege of throw

BEYOND THE RIVER,

Time Is a liver deep and wide:
And while along its banks We stray.
We see our loved ones DER its tide
San from our sight away, away,
"here are they sped, they who return
NO more to glad our weeping eyes
They've passed from life's contrasted bourne
10 land unseen, unknown that lies
Beyond the river
iis hlo from view but We may guess
How beautiful that realm must be
For gieanings of its loveiiaess
In visions granted oft we see;
The very clouds that DER it throw
Taeir veil unraised for mortal sight
With gold and purple tintn-s GLOW,
Eehecting from the glorious light
Beyond the river.
ane gentle airs, sweet and calm,
Steal sometimes from that viewless sphere,
The mourner feels their breath of balm,
And soothed sorrow dries the tear.
And sometimes ming may gain
Enhancing sound that hither floats
The echoes Of dstan. strain
OF harps aud voices, blended notes,
Beyond the river
There are our loved ones in their rest
They've crossed times river-now no more
They heed the bubble its breast,
Nor feel the storm that lash its shore
But there pure love can live aud last
They look for our home to share;
When We in turn away have pass'd
What joyful greetings wait us there
Beyond the river

To the President of the United States

How TO DETERNISr THE HEIGHr A
Corr WILL ATTAIN WHEN FULL GRowN.
Mr.. J. R. Martin, of Lexington, KY,
gives out the following upon this point;
g / can tell you how any man may know,
within half an inch, the height colt Will
attain to when full grown. The rule may
not hold good IN every instance, but III
nine cases out Of ten II will.
:. When the colt IS three weeks old, or
as it is perfectly Strengthened in It's limbs,
measure it from the edge Of the hair on
the hoofs to the middle Of the first joint,
and for every inch. il viii grow to the
height of a hand OF IA inches, when It's
growth is matured. Thus if the distance
be found sixteen inches, ii will make a
horse sixteen hands high. By this means
man may know something of what sor
of horse, with proper care, he Is TO ez,
pect from his colt. Three years ago,
bought two very shabby looking colts fooI
20 dollars each, and sold them recently
( for 200 dollars each. So much for know
/ ing how to guess properly at colt

The Three Callers.

Morn caleth fondly to fair boy straying
Mid golden meadows, rich with clover dew;
She calls-but still he thinks of naught save play
ing,
And so she smiles and waves him an adieu!
Whilst he still merry with his fowery store,
Deems not that morn, sweet morn returns no
more.
Noon cometh-but the boy, to manhood growing,
Heeds not the time-he sees but one sweet form
One young fair face, from bower to jasmine glow
ing,
And all his loving heart with bliss is warm;
So soon unnoticed seeks the western shore,
And man forgets that noon returns no more.
Night tappeth gently at a easement cleaning
With the thin fre-light, flick ring faint and low
By which gray-haired man is sadly dreaming
Oer pleasures gone as all life's pleasures go;
Night calls him to her, and he leaves his door
Silent and dark-and he returns no more.
