MORE SENTIMuNT.-I'm thinking Of
the time, Kate, when sitting by thy side,
and shelling beans gazed ON thee, and
felt a wonderous pride. In silence
leaned we DER the pan, and neither
spoke word, but the rafting of the
beans, Kate, was all the sound we heard.
The auburn curls hung down, Kate, and
kissed thy lily cheek; thy azure eyes
half filed with tears, bespoke a spirit
meek. To be so charmed as was then,
never before occurred, when the rafting
Of the beans, Kate, was all the sound |
heard. ! thought it was not wrong,
Kate, so leaning DER. the dish, as you
snatched lot of beans, snatched a
nectared kiss. A sudden shower made
my eyes blind, neither saw nor stirred,
but the rafting Of the beans, Kate, was
all the sound heard.

We don't suppose Shakespeare wrote
the following, but the man that did might
have done worse:
When Adam and his wife were here,
Say, did they have, or not,
Some niggcrs and an overseer
To till their garden spots
If not. he was working lad,
And Eve, of course his HELP,
And he who scorns his grandcst dad,
Must be precious whelp

A youth having crept upt to chamber

and her lover, who were talking soft

sell, the minister, would take the com

A much older traveller, the Vene tian
who wrote the "Relation of England,
in 1900, says-"The English are great
lovers of themselves, and Of every thing
belonging to them. They think that
there are no other men than themselves,
ard no other world but England and,
whenever they see handsome foreigner,
they say that he looks like an English
man, and it is a great pity he should not
be an .Englishman and whenever they
partake of any delicacy with foreigner
they ask him whether such thing is
made in this country.
At St. Georges festiva! in Montrc-
al, where happened to be guest, since
my return home, | observed that the
Chairman complimented his compatriots,
by saying, they confded that wherever
they met an Enslishman, they found a
man who would speak the truth And
one cannot think this festival fruitless,
if all over the world, on the 23d of April
wherever two or three English are found
they meet to encourage each other in the
nationality of veracity.
l happened to arrive in England, at
the moment ota commercial crisis. But
it was evident, that, let who will fail,
England will not. These people have
sat here thousand years, and here will
continue to sit. They will not break
up. or arrive at any desperate revolution,
like their neighbors for they have as
much energy, as much confluence of
character as they ever had. The power
and possession which surround them are
their own creation, and they exert the
same commanding Industry at this mo-
ment.
\ man must think that age we'll
taught and thoughtful, by which masques
and poems, like those of the Jonson, full
of heroic sentiment in manly style,
were received with favor. The unique
fact ILL literary history, the unsurprised
reception of Shakespeare the reception
proved by his making his fortune; and
the apathy proved by the absence of all
contemporary panegyric--seems to de-
monstralc an elevation in the mind Of the
people. Judge of the splendor of a ma
ton by the significance of great indi-
yiduals in it.-Ratph Waldo Emerson.

A Coon WIFE.-In the eighty fourth

OF his wife My domestic enjoyments

my worldly loss is perfect"
How many poor fellow would be
saved from suicide, from the penitentiary
aad the gallows every year, had he been
blessed with such wife.
"She made home the pleasantest spot
to me on earth" What a grand tribute
to that woman's love, and piety, and
common sense Rather different was
the testimony ef an old man some three
years ago. just before he was hung in
the Tombs' yard of this city. Il didn't
intend to kill my wife, but she was a

1Democratico Ward Meetings.

The democrats" so called, held meetings
in the Second and Third Wards on Saturday
evening to nominate Ward officers and ap-
point delegates to the City Convention. III e
calls fer these meetings looked very we'll on
paper; but in the Second Ward the usual
harmony between the German and Rice fac
tions characterised the proceedings. Two mee-
tings, in fact, were held and two sets of candi-
dates and two sets of delegates chosen. The
Gormanites had the start, and nominated for
Aldermen, w. L. McGroarty and Iarwood
Iglehart. The Rceites afterwards re organ
lied the meeting and chose as their Alder
men c. Rauch and A. L. Larpenteur. The
usual ';noisc and confusion" attendant upon
such occasions was had.
During the evening, Capt. Wakefield, by
invitation Of a prominent member of the
German party, addressed the meeting upon
Kansas afIairs-setting forth some home
truths, which we hope will have good ef
feet upon the supporters of Border Ruffian
ism, who formed the greater part of the au.
tliencc.
In the Third Ward, the extreme Riccites
had it all their own way, of course. Pat
rick Ryan and C. L. Emerson were put ir
nomination for Aldermen. God deliver the
city of St. Paul from being cursed with the
presence of such creature as Emerson al
her Council Board
The People will move in day or two ir
this election matter.

Merchants Hotel.

Among the best public places wherein a
stranger may find comfortable home at st.
Paul, is the Merchants Hotel. We have
had occasion heretofore to speak of the
kindness and attention which Col Allen, the
Landlord of the Merchants, is want to ex-
tend toward those who fall sick in his house.
The we'll man, and the well woman, are of
course likewise regarded with all the atten-
ton that is prompted by the Colonels good
heart and his ample means.
The apartments of this Hotel are equal to
the accommodation of as many visitors as
any other public house in st. Paul, and the
rooms are furnished and kept in just as good
order as we would wish to see anywhere
The building is one hundred and thirty feet
front; and with the Improvements now
going on, will soon be much the largest
public house now open in the city.
The table at the Merchant S is always
supplied with all that the market affords
and situated as the establishment is in the
most public and business part Of the city, II
should certainly command large share o.
business. The elegant manner in which the
worthy landlord keeps the House will, we
feel ccrtain, draw custom to it all the while

Dubuque Packet Line.

The card of this new Packet Line which
appears in our advertising columns, proves
as we said the other day, that the Dubu-
quers are in earnest this time. We hope
they will succeed in maintaining their line
and from the known character Of the men
who have engaged in the enterprise-J. P.
Farley and others-we have no doubt they
will. We want all the boats in this trade
that can live, and we are not particular who
owns them or where they come from. The
boats of Dubuque will always be just as
welcome at the St. Paul Levee (such as it
is y as the boats of Galena or any other
boats.
Messrs. j. w. Bass & Co., will attend to
business matters for the Dubuque Line.
Their boats are all safe and good, and in
charge of careful and experienced men.
Since the above was in type, the Golden
State, fine large side-wheel boat, which
has been purchased by the Dubuque Com
pany, has made her appearance at our Land
ing. She has extensive capacity for carry
ing, and altogether is great acquisition to
the Line.
The Company wish yet to purchase ano-
ther boat to make up their number.

Kansas Affairs.

A correspondent of tie Chicago Press
writing from Kansas City under date o.
April 18th, states that the Congressional
Committee of Investigation had not beer
able as yet to commence their labors. Messrs
Howard and Sherman, in whose company
the writer travelled from Chicago, were wait
ing for Mr. Oliver, the other member Of the
Committee. 1t was expected he would joir
the party at Lexington, but he. failed to dc
so, and it was not quite certain whether he
had passed up the river to Leavenworth, OF
whether he was still behind in Missouri.
The same correspondent further says:
"Border Ruffians ''-I scarcely think the
term uncharitable, as it is the one which a
large share of them apply to themselves, and
love to have applied to them, are as plenty
here as the frogs were in Egypt once on a
time. They all carry pair of pistols and a
bowie-knife, somewhat ostentatlously exhib-
tied, buster good deal, seem to have an
uncomfortable amount of leisure on hand,
swear the biggest possible oaths, drink the
most incalculable number of "Eorns" OF
whisky, and withal are the veriest swagger-
ers ever met.
The general impression among the Kansas
citizens with whom have. conversed, seems
to be that, in this investigation, Stringfellow
and his coadjutors will not dare face the
music. But we shall soon see what are tc
be their tactics. 1 cannot for my life see
how they can make any other than an ex.
tremely lame case of it, if they are to rely
on facts; for, from every intelligent citizer
whom l have heard express his mind on the
subject, hear that the amount of evidence
in favor of the Free State, and against the
pro-slavery claimants, is perfectly overwhel
ming.

that the site is highly practicable for High
