SISTER JOSEY.

The following piece of verse, written by ALI
mon, will come home with great force to mic
aged men, to old bachelors, and especially
SC who have no babies, but live in constar
'e. The ladies will certainly read it:
Sister Josey's got baby, ,s
(She is but child hersclf)
And the baby is bright-eycd, ...
Laughing, crying little elf .
Well mind one April morning
was scarcely five years Old
Addie came with smile of gladness,
And wondrous tale she told:
How tiny, pretty creature,
To our mothers arms was given,
How white-winsed angel brought it
From its happy home in Heav'n.
Mother called our baby Josey,
And she was our pet ard pride
No one thought of scolding Josey,
When she pouted, frowned or cried.
Only think how years crowd round us,
Bringing trouble. bringing change
Now that baby's gotta baby -
Bless me !aint it very strange
Sucha precious, winning darling,
Eyes of softest, darkest grey,
Checks where blessu cunning dimples
Play bobcepthe livclong day.
You should see him laughing gaily,
Cooing like little dove,
If you were the crossest fellow,
Josey's baby you would love.
And he has tooth just coming
BY this time quite through it may be
Dear me, it is very funny,
Sister Josey with baby! E

pie charms of a young, unlearned, unam-
bilious girl so youthful, that even her
tastes and habits, childish as they were
could be scarcely more so than suited to
her years. Flavia Hardcourt had just
attained her sixteenth year-had never
been to a boarding school, and loved
nothing so much-evcn her birds and
pet rabbets-as her dear old father, an
honest country gentleman, and worthy
magistrate. Flayia had never been even
to London, for Mr.. Hardcourt resided at
Aveling, retired village, about twenty
miles from the metropolis. Barring fox
hunting and hard drinking, the old gem
tlemen,o on his side, took pleasure only
in the pretty, gentle girl, who from the
hour of her birth, which terminated her
mothers existence, had made her his
constant companion. And it was to
this simple wild flower that the gay
man of pleasure. naughty, reckless, un-
principled, improvident, irreligious and
rash, presumed to lift his eyes, to clc-
sate his heart; and, oh, stranger still, to
this being, the moral antipodes of her
pure self, did Flayia Hardcourt surren-

love. 1t must have been her very child :

pure bud of innocent freshness and rare
fragrance, Or to perish in the attempt.
Master Richard Mowbray! unscrupu-
lous De Montmorency will relate
how you kept your vow.
He haunted Aveling Grange till the
chaste young heart, the old fathers be-
loved darling, surrendered itself into
the highwayman's keeping. Perhaps
Mr.. Hardcourt was not altogether best
pleased at Flavia's choice; but then she
was his life--his hope-and he trusted
euen when he gave her to husband,
that her love and doting affection would
still be his own. Besides Mowbray was
well connected-boasted of his wealth;
whereas very moderate portion would
be hers. He was received into modish
circles into which their good magistrate
could never pretend to penetrate; and
in short, what with his high bearing his
his handsome person, and insinuatine
tongue Mr.. Hardcourt had irrevocably
promised to bestow his treasure into
the keeping of the proflisate, who num-
bered himself almost years enough to
| have been the father of the young girl
whom he testified the utmost impatience
to call wife.
1t was during the time that Mr.
Mowbray was paying his court at Ave.
ling, that that neighborhood began to
be alarmed by series of highway rob-
berries, which men said could have
been perpetrated but by that celebra-
ted knight Of the road-Captain DE-

RHPUBLIcANISM IN CONGRESS-
WHO ARE TIE TRUE FRIENDS OF
THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS

We pointed out to ourreaders thatinac-
cordance with the design and councils of
the leaders Of the Republican party, no
attempt was for several months made to
abrogate the Blrck laws Of Kansas-in
fact, these champions made no attempt
to relieve the people of Kansas in any
legitimate way from the oppression of
these laws, until their admission as State,
under what is called the Topeka consti-
tuition. They sought this admission, as
they claimed, as the only sure way Of
securing salty and protection to, the
people Of that Territory--and more par
ticularly against the operation of the laws
of the Bogus Legislature.
They refused to take the more direct
and less difficult way of applying to Con-
gress for relief. from unjust lawsuit
chose rather to ask admission as State.

doubtful claims to the consideration of
Congress. al D s.J ..l g7si
1t is not our purpose to discuss the
manner in which that Constitution was
framed. Suffice it to say that large
portion of the people of Kansas claimed
that it represented the will OF her citizens,
while another large portion denounced, it
as in opposition to this will of the people,
and as springing from mere partizan.

This Constitution was the bone Of con-
tention--the admission of the Territory
as a State into the Union, was the very
essence of the controversy, and while they,
fwere fighting over it, the BLACK LAWS OF
| KANSAS REMAINED UNREPEALED- 3H'@sta
Neither party would yield point on
this Topeka Constitution, but both the
Democratic party and the Republican
party agreed in denouncing the laws of
Kansas as oppressive.
At this time proposition was madein
the Senate designed to secure the EARLY
ADMISSION of KANSAS THE SECURING of

vention of persons who were not settlers
from voting in the Territory and lastly,
