If the apple grows
On the apple-tree,
And the wild wind blows
On the wild wood free;
And the deep stream flows
To the deeper sea;
And they can not help growing,
And blowing, and flowing,
can not help loving thee.
Yet If wild winds blew
Never more on the lea;
And no blossoms grew
On the healthy tree;
And the river untrue
Escaped the sea;
And they all had ceased blowing,
And growing, and flowing;
I'd nc'er cease loving thee.
And till that hour,
In the day or night;
In the field or bower,
In the dark or bright;
In the fruit or the flower;
In the bloom or the blight:
In my reaping or sowing,
My coming or going,
I'll ne'cr cease loving thee.

ga,- The New York Day Book, published in the

the North in the defence Of the institutions of the
South Would that it were more literally supported
in this section. We clip the following from late
number.
A USELESS "NIGGER.'-Wc could not help
thinking the other day, as we stood in the City
Assembly Room and heard the negro Red
mond talk, what an utterly useless and good
for-nothing creature he is in his present posi-
ton Here was man good for at least four
bales Of cOtton year, If he had not been plac-
ed in a wrong position; but, having been mis-
placed is actually and absolutely good for
nothing. He wore cotton shirt and proba-
bly, cotton drawers and other cotton under
clothes, yet never made pound or did any
thing for those who do make it during his
whole life! He had been taught to initiate
Garrison and repeat Wendell Phillips stale
stuff about Southern cruelty, and once Or twice
a year was put up by the Abolitonists "on
exhibition" to show white folks how we'll a
negro can talk But for all the good he has
done the world, or ever will do, he might as
well have been corked up in jug twenty years
ago and set away in cupboard. Yet he is
good for four bales Of cotton year, and four
bales of cotton are worth living for whole
family. What pity this negro could not be
set to work in the cotton field, and not be
rowing about the world in dlcncss? -Four
bales Of cotton year for twenty years, eighty
bales Of cotton, worth $40 per pale, or $4,000
altogether, and all that lost just by the mis-
placement Of one negro! Only think of it!
And there are 100, 900 just like this Redmond,
cncumbering the Northern States!

A STORY FOR MOTHERS.

There are too many mothers in the world
who, loving themselves better than they love
their children, will uphold them when they are
clearly in the wrong-thus doing them an
rreparablc moral injury From story now
going the rounds Of the papers, we infer that
Queen Victoria is nat mother of that stamp.
1t appears that during the Queens stay at
Osborne, in the Isle Of Wight, some years ago,
the royal children were accustomed to ramble
along the sea shore. 1t happened on one
occasion that the young Prince of Wales met
a boy who had been gathering sea shells.
The boy had got basketful. The young
Prince, presuming upon his high position,
thought himself privileged to do what he pleas
ed with impunity. So without any notice he
upset the basket and Shells The poor lad
was very indignant, and observed: "You do
that again, and I'll lick you" "Pnt the shells
into the basket" said the Prince, land sec if
don't" The shells were gathered up and
put into the basket. Now" said the lad,
"touch 'em again, old fellow, if you dare"
whereupon the Prince again pitched over the
shells. And the lad pitched into him." and
gave him such licking as few princes ever
had. His lip was cut open, his nose knocked
considerably out of its perpendicular, and his
eyes of a color which might have well become
the champion of prize ring His disfgured
face could not long be concealed from his royal
mother She inquired the cause Of his dis
figurement. The Prince was silent but at last
confessed the truth. The poor boy was order
cd before the Queen. He was asked to tell
his story He did so in a very Straightforward
manner. At its conclusion, turning to her
child, the Queen said: "You have been right
ly served, sir. Had you not been punished
sufficiently already, should have punished
you severely. When you commit like
oiense, I trust you will always receive SINH
lar punishment" Turning to the poor boy,
she commanded his parents to her presence
the following morning. They came, and the
result Of the interview was that her Majesty
told them she had made arrangements for edu-
eating and providing for their son, and she
hoped he would make good use of the adyan.
tages which should be placed within his reach
This young prince is the first of his house
that has had sensible training. He will
need it, by.and-by.

FROM KANSAS.

We find the following in the Dubuque Repub-
lican. Mr.. Proper formerly connected with
Mr.. Wilcox, of the firm of Wilcox 4 Proper, of
Minneapolis. At the time he left the Territory
for Kansas. he was a pro-siavery man-what he
is now the following article will tell:
We had the pleasure of an interview, on
Yesterday morning, with Geo. NJ. Proper, Esq,
direct from Leavenworth, Kansas. lie is one
of the damned Abolitionists,' whose crime was
a wish carried into action to make Kansas Free
State. He is one of - 'back list now in the
hands of the pro-slavcrv rulers of Kansas, and
has been ordered to leave that territory and new
er to return, on pain of death. His family is
with him, and he left here yesterday to take them
to st. Paul, from whence he will return immedi
atcly and address the people of this city on FRI
day evening.
Mr.. Proper assures that not one-half has
yet been told of the doplorabe state of things
which exists in Kansas. The strong arm of the
Slave Power sustained by the General Govern-
ment, is stretched out over all its plains, and
Freedom lies bound and bleeding at the feet of
Despotism. From the situat on which Mr.. Prop
per occupied in the Territory, he WAS called upon
to partakc deeply of the bitter cup which is now
pressed to the lips of every Free State man, and
he knows and feels deeply the desperate strai,
to which they are all reduced. 80

KANSAS MATTEas.-Matters in Kansas are still
of q bloody character. The news we give in to-
days paper is anything bat cheering. Two more
towns have been destroyed, horses stolen, printing
presses broken, and rings taken by force from the
persons of the ladies. There will be bo. work in
Kansas presentlv-mark our prediction. More
than one "border ruffian'' will bite the dust.
Thousands of Free-State men, backed by $780,
600, are now on their way to the scene of action,
and when they arrive, if there is not collision,
and bloody one. We are no judge of the siyns
of the times. Col. Sumner had driven a body of
Carolnians out of Kansas, and for so doing the
Missourans had threatened to give him battle.

AssAssiHArIoN.--Great excitement existed at
San Francs SEQ in consequence of The asslssina-
ton of james King, eltor of the Bulletin, by
man named Casey. King die'l on the 10th, the
affair occurred on the l4:h. Casey had been ar
rested--ctizens much excited. y me ting Of the
cd vigilance committee was called, pl cards of an
inaamnatorv character were posted calling on
citizens to take the law into their own hands. On
the 18th, 800 citizens, completely Or r5anized into
companies and armed with mus1ets, marched
from the committee rooms and had taken pos ses-
s on of the Jail, and took thence Casey to- ether
with Coro, the gambler and murderer of q n.
Richardson. and carried them to the committee
room. Here they were strongly guarded until
the ste ,n,er sailed. 1t is supposed tn y would be
hung, as the whole city is drapcd mourning
for the death of King. Casey was formerly an
inmate of the Sing Sing prison, statement of
which in Kings paper led to the difficulty. The
Vigilance Committee was fully organized
throughout, and it is sail, fund Of s. 600 has
been raised, and they detcrm ned 10 drive all

Hour after hour, dag after day, week after week,

OUR FRONT WINDOW.

We never pass down st. Anthony street with
ont pang Of regret at the erection of wooden
buildings on that spot above all other spots that
should have been preserved as the brightest gem
in the crown of St. Paul. As the city continues
to fill in with its busy warehouses, and stirring
commercial relations, this regret becomes more
painful, for peer sufficiently far into the
future to SOC that the prescrv ltion Of this front
window of our city would have given it Il fame
co-extens;ve with the limits of our country, for
where now will be heard the chnk Of the 20 lden
dollar, would have whispered the gentle breeze,
as it wooed the moonlight and lulled to rest the
pilgrim from distant llnl. The citizens of St.
Paul never made greater mistake than when
they allowed that beautiful window to be closed.
Birds would have come there in the morning and
sang their sweetest d;ttes. The flowers would
have opened their laughing eyes to the sunlight.
The breeze would have danced on the delicate
foliage of the trees, and even the sparkling wave
of the Mississippi would have kissed its hand as
it tr'ppel along into the Great Gulf of Mexico,
