"WOrrying the Angels"

Mama, don't 1t worry the angels to see you
keep fretting about SOP
1t was blue-eyed, curly-haired, 'little
Georgie,' who said this to his mother, as she
entered the room where he was playing, with
the same inpatient step, and anxious, frown-
ing eye, which all that morning he had OBJ
served in wonder and silence
'Why George! What ever put that
thought in your headp the mother answered,
taken by surprise.
'Oh nothing-1 guess. 1t just happened
in there, as was thinking what beautiful
morning it was, and how everything seemed
to be smiling, except yon, mama. and you
looked SO troubled. Was it naughty 10 say
so!'
Not at all, dear, was the naughty one;
but do you know why have felt so fretui
and troubled this morning!'
'Yes, 1 heard you say that uncle, and aunt,
and Mr. and Mrs Cheever, and young lady
were 70 come in the noon train, and that
your wood was poor, and there was no STEAK
in the house, and that there was no rice at
the grocery, and Hannah had gone off to a
circus, besides. s'pose. as Pa says some-
times, you are in peck oe trouble,' ant,
you mama!'
'Why George, did think was, but now
that you come to name it over, and specify
the causes of my trouble, they seem rather
small, after all
well, that is just what thought, only
didn't know as ough. to say so. But it
seems to me such things must look so trifiing
to them-to the angels mean, mama, if
they can see our actions-and as if it must
worry them to see US SO unhappy about tri-
hes.'
They are trihes, darling-the least of tri-
fes. And big, grown woman like me
ought to be ashamed to make myself misera-
BILE whole forenoon for them, turning the
brightness ofthis glorious spring morning
into clouds and gloom. Now George, have
scolded myself enoughr
e well should think you had, mama
Your forehead don't scowl as it did. But l
wish I could help yo1. 1 can stone raisins,
and peel pie-plant, and wash potatoes, and
flour the tins for you to bake, and what else
can do! something, guess
And George rolled up his aIron sleeves,
ard went to work with a will.
Georgie's mo'her, too! The change that
had come upon her countenance was but the
reflection of The frightened spirit within, and
though she might not regard the idea of
angels worrying in. precisely the same
light as her little sensitive boy, it lifted Ter
thoughts from the turbid curren, of house
hold vexation, into noble channels. And
when, at one O'Clock she seated her guests
at her neatly-spread table, and helped them
70 the nice, juicy ham of her own curing, the
well cooked vegetables, snowy bread and
deli cate rhubard pie, no one would have i'm
agined she had been half the morning ready
to shed tears for the want of beef-st Ike and
little rice, or tapioca. Would that all the
Mothers # our land might learn the secret
OF true sHousehold Nobleness.. H. l.. B.

The Struggle in Kansas.

The following extract of letter from the
Lawrence correspondent of the N. Y.
Times will show the kind of danger the
friends of Freedom have got to encounter
in Kansas:
"Another small party has just arrived from
Indiana, who says there are many more on
the road Yesterday, Prof. Daniels, of
from the South. He states that he saw 300
emigrants at st. Louis on their way to Kan
zas, from South Carolina and Geo-gia.-
One hundred and fifty of them came up the
river on the steamer Lucas, in company
with him, and by passing for pro Slavery
man he learned their intentions somewhat
towards US. They are paid by the day for
coming here, and intend to stay just long
enough to fasten Slavery upon US by voting
at the next election. They are all well
armed with rifles, pistols and evel cannons.
Wonder how the, will pass the quarantine
at Lexington with SO many incendiary mis-
sles about them! The Professor learned
that many more soon coming from the south
and from all he could learn he expects about
1900 here of that class in few weeks.
He represents them as being the most un-
cultivated rough and groveling set of men
he ever met with. They are not men who
will ever locate here for the purpose OF living
an industrious and useful life, but they are
avowedly coming for the worst of purposes.
They say they will accomplish that end
next October. Now it is quite possible that
Douglas & Co. are intendin g, by concert
ed plan with these emigrants understand
to pass an "enabling act" with a new
election law, providing lor elections through
out the territory, in October next, for the
purpose of choosing another new set Of del
egates to a Convention called to frame
another Constitution, in which Slavery shall
be recognized. | already fear this is the
case, and that such an election will be forced
upon us sometime this season, when all the
satellites Of satanic Democracy wM be hired
to invade our country, to renew all the dread
fu, difficulties of the past.

VoGCE OF 4 BENTON DEMoCRAT-TheM Mis-
souri, Democrat in commenting upon the re-
cent outrages on the Missouri river upon the
persons and property of the Kanzas EN-
igrants, and their probable consequences to
the commerce of st. Louis; has the follow
ing.
Men will not ship when they have no Sc
curity of transportation, and the attack was
therefore aimed against the most vital point
of our commercial prosperity. The idea
that few desperate politicians whose E.
pheneral preferIhentto to Office depended Upon
keeping up slavery agitation, should be
privileged to lay an embargo upon river
that receives the tributary streams of half
continent was as prepustsrous in its co.,
ception. We regret TO add, however, that
we are now beginning to reap the con-
sequences of this silly outbreak and to find
all our fears realized. We see the traders
of the East and the traders of the west
meeting at Alton ssand Chicago, to organize
system of transport that shall contribute
nothing to the wealth Of Missouri. We
find, what promises before the end of the
year to be the most wealthy and enterprising
State1 of the west, seriously contemplating
diversion of its travel and traffic from st.
Louis, the metropolis Of the Mississippi VAL
ley, and all because of the lawless action of
few men who have been influenced more
by passion than patriotism.

A Passage from Cough.

Mr.. Cough concluded his Alabama Ad-
dress with the following beautiful inspirit-
ing passage. Let every worker read it, and
90 to work anew:
"Of those who begun this work, some are
living to-day, and | should like to stand now
and see the mighty enterprise as it rses-be-
fore US. They worked hard. They lifted
the first turc--prepared the bed in which
lay the corner stone. They laid it amid per-
secution and storm. They worked under
the surface; and men almost forgot that
there were busy hands laying the solid foun-
daton far down beneath. BY-aud-by they
got the foundation above the surface, and
lhen commenced another storm of persecu-
ton. Now we see the saperstructure, pillar,
tower after tower, column. with the capitals
emblazoned: Love, truth, sympathy, and
good will to all men, Old men gaze upon
it as it grows up before them. They will
not live to see it completed, but they see in
fancy the crowning cornerstone set upon it.
Meek-eyed women weep as it grows in be-
auty; children strew the pathway of work
men with flowers. We do not see its beau
ty yet--we do not see the magnifcence of
the superstructure yet--because it is in
course of erection. Scaffoiding ropes, lad
ders, workmen ascending, mar the beauty of
the building; but, by-and-by, when the hosts
VINO have labored shall come over thousands
of battle-felds waving with brigh: grain,
never again to be crushed in the distillery--
through vineyards, under trellised vines with
grapes hanging in all their purple glory ne
yer again to be pressed into that which can
debase and degrade mankindi when they
shall come through orchards, under trees
hanging thick with golden pulpy fruit,never
to be turned into that which can injure and
debase-when they shall come up to the
last distillery and destroy it, to the last
stream of liquid death and dry it up, to the
last weeping vile and wipe her tears gent
" away; to the last child and lift him up to
stand where God meant that mankind should
stand; to the last drui kard and nerve him
to burst the burning fetters, and make a
glorious accompaniment to the son of free
dom by the clanking of the broken chains
then, ah! then will the capstone be set upon
it, the scaffolding will fall with crash, and
the building will start in its wondrous be-
auty before an astonished world"

A PET MoosE.-So tame was my young

A PET MoosE.-So tame was my young
moose that he would come into room and
jump several times over chairs, backwards
and forwards, for piece of bread. He
had great penchant for tobacco smoke,
which, if pufed in his face, would cauie him
to rub Ibis head with great satisfaction a
gainst the individual. His gambols were
sometimes very amusing. Throwing back
his ears, and dropping the under-jaw, he
would gallop m1cly up and down on gras. :
plot, now and then.rearing upon his hind legs
and striking furiousy with his fore-feet at
the trunks oftrees, or anything within reach,
varying the amusement by an occasional shy
and kick behind at some imaginary object
No pailings could keep him from gardens,
in which, when not watched, he would con-
stanty be found -evelIing on the boughs of
current and lilac bushes in fact, tasting fruit
and flowers mos. indscrimnately. On be-
ing approached for the purpose of being turn
ed out, the cunning little brute would i'm
mediately lie down, from which position, his
hide being as calous as that of jackass
he could be got up with difficulty. In the
very hot days of summer when he appeared
to miss the cool plunge in the lake, which
these animals, in their wild condition, always
indulge in at this time Of the year, contin-
ually caused buckets OF water to be thrown
over him.-Hardy's Sporting Adventure.

WELL SA1D-The Indian in his native
condition, is no fool, as the following anec-
dote related by Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Republican attests:
We met Col. Stambourg to-day in the
rotunds of the Capitol, and while we were
looking at the carved representations over
the doorway of the rotunda, the veteran
Indian agent told US that in 1880, with de-
legation Of the Menominee Indians, he visit
ed the Capitol, and explained the nature
and design ofthe stone groups in the rotunda,
when the chief "Gsizzly Bear" turned to
the eastern doorway, over which there is
representation of the landing of the Pill
gr;ms, and said, "there, Ingen give white
man CORN" and to the north representing
Penn's treaty, "there Ingen give um land;"
and to the West, where Pocahontas is seen
saving the life of Captain Smith, "there In
gen save um life"-and, lastly, to the south,
where the hardy pioneers, Daniel Boon, is
seen plunging his knife into the breast of
one red man, while his foot is placed on the
dead body of another, "and there white man
kill Ingen."

THE DYING Boy AND THE VIoLETs.-A
little sufferer lay in high, dreary garrett
and the beams above his head and on every
side were black and foul. His cheeks we're
scarlet with the flush of fever, and the un-
natural light of his eye flashed in the dimness
of the coming evening like diamond on lts
gloomy bed of anthracite. Something told
the Child that death was busy with his heart.
1t might have been an angel, for angels gath
er In bands around the despised couch OF pow
erty. "Mother," he whispered, .and pale
bent woman knelt beside him,"is there Ole
blown now! Look! look!'
For the twentieth time the sckly woman
lifted the tiny box of violets, and the blood
rus. ed to her face as she beheld one little
bud dropping, just beginning to unfold
She carried it to the child, almost an infant,
and sweet smile lighted up his innocent
features. "Put it down, mother, where
can look at it until l de-" With
wild sob the poor widow placed it upon his
pillow, and watched his CLASSY eyes eagerly
as they watch the flower. Hours passed
The brow grew whittier, the fingers that she
clasped were now clammy, the round lips
that had so often called her mother were
purple, fading into blush white, and lrem-
ulous as though the failing voice struggled
for utterance She placed her ear closer tc
his little face, g. heard him utter distinctly
"Good bye mOther--take good care o.
my violets."
After the rough pine coffin was carried
away and covered with the mould, while hel
worn fingers were nervously stitching on the
i'll paid for garment, that mother could see
vision of her early buried child in the pure
white robes of heaven, bending over the boz
! of violets.

doubtful one. We are satisfied that neither
Pierce nor Douglas could receive the suf-
frages of majority of the people in a single
district in this State for nomination, upon
direct vote; and if the foregoing classi-
fication is correct, the result has been
achieved by the :rickery and wire working

WESTERN GIANTS IN THEIR SLUMBEKs.-
The Burlington Iowa State Gazette states
that lille workmen were engaged, on the
preceding e9enng, in excavating for The
cellar Of Gov. Grimes new building on the
corner Of Main and Valley sts., they came
upon an arched vault some ten feet square,
which on being opened was found to cor
tain eight human skeletons of gigantic pro-
PORTIONS. The walls of the vault are abou.
II inches thick, well laid up with cement or
some other indestructible moi ar. The vault
is about six feet deep frum the base of the
arch. The skeletons are in good state of
preservation, and we venture to say ''are the
largest human remains ever found, being a
little over eight feet long.
