We hauled off and joined the rest of our
party who had by that time gotten up. We
were ordered to form with view of charging
into them, but after takinga full survey Of
the party, it was decided best to return at
once to Leeompton, and prepare for defence,
By the time that decision had been come to-,
they commenced firing into us, aud then
commenced the race for life. They had more
than double the number of horsemen we had,
and had strung themselves all along the road
for the distance of about three hundred
yards, and as we passed them we received
their volley, which some of our men retur-
ned. Then we had it; we running from
them and they after US and for the distance
of about three miles. I don't think Lecomp.
ton in his best days could have caught me.
All of the party, however, were not so for
tunate when we pulled up and counted noses.
We found two of our men missing and three
wounded; one of them had ball put through
the calf of his leg as he was riding by my
side; another had a ball through his hand,
and the Colonel was slightly wounded in
his finger, to say nothing of the horses shot
and hats shot of the heads of the men,
How any ofus escaped is matter of surprise
to me, and [ can only account for it on the
ground, that they were thrown into such
CONSERVATION by our sudden appearance that
they could do nothing.

house,.the prison, the gallows, and the grave
yard, than any other firm; and they will al
so do it with the greatest possible dispatch !;
to accomplish these desirable ends, it is only
necessary for the individual to take glass
occasionally, till he feels that quantity in
sufficient to crafty the craving appetite
which it will soon create; and when this
rum, whiskey, gin, brandy, wine, cider, ale,
or porter appetite is formed, the persons are
then prepared to brave temporal and eternal
misery for the sake of another glass. In
short, Death& Co., will spare no pains or ex-
pense to bring the wives and children of

many as the public good may require. They
are constantly receiving new supplies Of the
poisonous liquids, which they will sell by

head.
For the accommodation of their numer-
Gus customers, and for the dispatch of their
increasing business, Death & Co., have ap-
pointed sufficient number of active agents,
who are stationed at convenient distances,
in splendid palaces, beer shops, and public

the squalor, filth, obscenity, or misery of
the customers who congregate around them,

tinually polluting the air around.

all tipplers and dram-drinkers from giving
any heed to their wives, children, or friends,

calling on our agents may see specimens of

could spare, to 60 over to assist Col. Tread.

which it was understood would be made on
him that night. We left Col. Titus that
night with eighteen men, and as we had not
horses enough to mount them all, some had
to double; but on the road we managed to
mount most of the men by pressing horses
into service. We continued on the road
until we reached the house of Mr.. Lehay,
pro slavery man, who lives about eight
miles from Lecompton, when We learned
that we were too late, as Lane had attacked
Treadwelps camp that day, and driven him
off.
After resting ourselves and horses few
minutes, we started on the return, and had
ridden about four miles without interrup.

who was in command, that we should 60 by
the house of man by the name of Wake.

tent in the Kansas difficulties, and take his
horses. After proceeding on the way about
a quarter Of a mile, (Wakefeld's house in
full view before us, and the moon shining
very brightly,) we observed about dozen
men at the house, and in few moments we
saw two mounted men start from the house
in full gallop, on the road to Lecompton.-
The order was given to follow them, which
we did in style, and as happened to be
mounted on pretty fleet horse, with about
three others, I led the pursuit, and contin'

until We found ourselves slap in party Of
about two hundred and fifty of the enemy,

"But could you bear-"
"Anything, doctor, but this suspense. !

The pale cheek grew shade paler, but

The beautiful consumptive sat alone in
her large easy chair some moments after
the doctor had gone. She gazed about her
on luxuries which wealth unbounded had
procured for her pleasure, and the large, ur,
troubled eyes grew dim.

WATCH! MOTHER .

WATCH! MOTHER!
Mother! watch the little feet
Clambering Ger the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed and hall.
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it costs;
Little feet will go astray,
Guide them, mother, while you may.
Mother! watch the little hand
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask,
t'Why to me this weary task?"
These same little hands may prove
Messengers of light and love.
Mother! watch the little tongues,
Prattling, eloquent and wild,
WHAT'S said and what's sung,
e By the happy, joyous child.
Catch che word while yet unspoken,
Stop the VOW before tits broken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
) Blessings in aSayiour's name.
Mother! watch the little heart
Beating soft and warm for you;
Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, o keep that young heart true.
Extricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed;
Harvest rich you then may see,
Riponing for eternity.
