respondent of the Alexandria Gazette urg-
es the theory that comets are the abodes Of
departed spirits, and that each time COM
ct approaches the earth it absorbs great
number of ghosts, both good and evil. The
good being pure and light, are soon thrown
of, and depart to place Of quiet and re-
pose; but the wicked, being gross and heavy,
require, like an old pipe, to be kept in the
fire long time before they are cleaned
He believes that the comet will hit some,
where near ST. Louis, on the l4th of June
and will stop long enough to take on a fresh
supply of passengers; the good will go in
the saloon cars, aud the sinners in tho ten

1 HOWE PICTURE.

ny FRANCIS D. GAGE.
Ben Fisher had finished his hard days work,
And he sat by his cottage door,
His good wife, Kate, sat by his sidc
And the moonlight danced on the floor
The moonlight danced on the cottage floor,
Her moonbeams clear and as bright
As when he and Kate, twelve years ago.
Talked love in the mellow light
Ben Fisher had never pipe of clay,
And never dram had he;
So he loved at home with his wife to say,
And they chatted merrily;
Right merrily chatted they on the while,
Her babe slept on her breast,
While cherub rogue with rosy smile
On his fathers knee found rest
Ben told how fast his potatoes grew,
And the corn in tho lower field;
And the wheat on the hill had grown to seed,
And promised glorious yield;
A glorious yield in harvest time
And his orchard was doing fair;
His sheep and his stock in their prime,
His farm all in goodrepa
Kate said her garden looked beautiful
Her fowls and her calves were fat
Thatthe butter that morning that Tommy churned
Would buy him Sunday hat;
That Jenny for Pa a now shirt had made,
And that too by the rule
That Neddy the garden could nicely spade,
And Ann was ahead at school,
Ben slowly passed his toil-worn hand
Through his locks of greyish brown
q tell you Kate, what think said he
We're the hnppcst folksi town.
q know said Kate wc all work hard
Work and health go together, I've found
For there's Mrs Bell does not work at ALL
And she's sick the whole year round
They're worth their thousands, so people say
But mover saw them happy yet;
Twould not be me that would take their gold,
And live in constant fret;
Ny humble home has light within,
Mrs. Bells gold could not buy,
Six healthy children, and merry heart,
And husbands love-lit eye.'
fanoied tear was in Bcn's eye
The moon shone brighter and clearer,
could not tell why the should cry,
But he hitehed up to Kate still nearer,
He leaned on her shoulder there,
And he took her hand in his
guess Though looked at the moon just thon)
That he left on her lips kiss.

slavery In Missouri.

The New Bedford, Mass, Mercury thinks
that the details of the Missouri census for
1857, which have attracted notice since the
election of an emancipationist as Mayor in
st. Louis, discovers an extraordinary state
I of things. 1t would seem that if the ex-
pertinent of emigration, with view of ul-
timately making it Free State, should be.
tried in Missouri, it might be successful,
In the whole of this fine and fertile State,
there arc lo7 counties. Now, out of these,
only twenty-seven counties contain 1921
of the slaves, there being in all, but l00,-
922 slaves in population of 915,95o. /,
From this remarkable fact, We see that
only 26,7ll slaves are left to be distributed
over 80 counties, and 25 of these counties
contain only 1,l6s slaves---not one Of these
counties having in itself as many as 100
slaves There are but AZ representatives
chosen from the 27 countless which contain
three-fourths Of all the slaves, while the re-
naming choose 80 representatives. Mis-
souri,, then, presents most excellent field
for those who favor peaceful emancipation
to extinguish slavery. In fact, natural caus-
cs are producing gradually tho result, which
we may, however, aid by sending in FREQ
emigrants.
The following table gives the population
and the per centage Of Slaves in the years
named:

Three hungry travellers found bag of gold;
One ran into town where bread was sold.

They killed him, and partaking of the bread,

Poison drops of care and sorrow,
Bitter poison drops they;
Weaving for the coming morrow
Sad memorials of to-day.

May the hearts best impulse
Check them ere they soil the lip.

No intermeddng stranger near,
To spoil our heartfelt joys.-Colton.
