And less for battle fields and glory;

Seemed better than in song and story:
II men, instead of nursing Pride,
Would learn to hate and to abhor it
If more relied
On love to guide;
The world would be the better for it.
Ii men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And moro in bonds and deeds fraternal:
Ii loves work had more willing hands;
To link this world to the supernal;
If men stored up loves oil and wine,
And on bruised human hearts would pour
H"yours" and "mine'
Would once combine.
The world would be the better for it.
If more would act the play of Life,
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal.;
If bigotry would sheathe its knife
Till God became more universal;
Hcustom, gray with;ages grown,
Had fewer men to adore it
If Talent shone
In Truth alone,
The world would be the better for it.

Affecting less in all their dealings-

To isolate their kindly feelings;

The Next Congress.

The probability is, that the House of Rep
resentatives in the next Congress, which
will commence on the first Monday in De-
cember, 1857, will contain about ten or
twelve majority of Democrats. The great
issue is to be, the creation of slave State
Of Kansas. On this question the sham De-
mocracy are expected to demonstrate their
nationality" But mark what we predict
If Kansas asks admission as slave State,
the sham Democrats at the North will "back
down." Twenty of the fifty sham Demo-
Gratis elected from the free States to the
next Congress, and probably thirty of them,
will refuse TO vote for the admission Of
Kansas with slavery sanctioned in her Con-
stitution.-[ Washington Organ.

KANSAS LAND SALE.-No general dis
turbance occurred at the Kansas Land
Sales. The squatlers generally got their
claims at valuation, and many of them i'm
,nediately sold at round profit. We have
received no papers from there since the
sales commenced, but learn these particu-
lars from persons who have returned. We
understand free State companies purchased
q great deal of the land about Leavenworth,
second hand, paying whatever price was
asked, without parley. Perhaps this is the
new modus operand, of the free State men;
by Investing their Kansas funds in land $
they get stronger fuot-hod. In shorI
time full accounts will be along.
