THE TWO BRIDEGROOMS.
By J. G. WHITE R.

The sun went down on the plains OF
Palestine, tinging with redder hue the
dark stains of tie battle. The in6del
had retired, and the field from whence,
but little time before. the clang of arms
went up into the still skies of Syria,
where the brazen helmet, and the pale
crescent gave back their double FLOOD oi
sunlight-and where the chivalrous Ian
ces of christendom bore down the in6del
scimetar, lay silent beneath the darkness
save when some stihed groan or NUT
tered prayer of the dying. told that The
work of death was yet unfinished.
Bravely had Rupert Merton, and his
bosom friend, the young knight Anseln,
borne themselves in the terrible strife ol
that day. But in the last struggle, just
as the vast sea of turbans rolled back
ward fiom the fierce onset Of the Chris
tian cavalry, they had been separated
from each other, and Rupert, with a
boding heart, discovered that his FREUD
was not among the weary and war spent
soldiers who gathered together iu the
Syrian twilight, with those mingled emo
tions of pain and triumph, which victory
attained only by bitter sacrifices, mnst
always inspire. He turned away from
the congratulations of his knightly breth-
rem, and the bloody scenes Of the recent
encounter.
Fearful were the sights and sounds
that panied the sense of Rupert Merton
as he stole watchfnl'y among the ghast-
ly wrecks of the death grapple. On ore
hand lay the tall and graceful form of
the Moslem, with his brazen helmet and
light armor, and on the other, the stal
wart knight of Christendom, girded in
his cumbrous armor, like thrown down
statute of iron, with his cross handled
sword still grasped in hand which
might never more lift its heavy gauntlet.
The writhing forms of the dying are
around him-the ghastly countenance
turned upward to the dim twilight-with
here and there friend bending anx-
iously over them. Rupert hurried on
ward. A low moan at his side at length
arrested his attention. He paused. and
by the din light saw the familiar coun-
tenance of his friend. The helmet was
of, aud there was ghastly paleness in
his features. which family smiled upon
him. Robert of Anselm had fallen.
Rupert knelt at his side. The wound

FASHIONABLE WOMFN.

Fashion kills more women than toll oil
sorrow. Obedience TO fashion is great
er transgression of the laws OF woman's
nature, a greater injury TO her physical
and mental constitution than the hard
ships of poverty and neglect. The slave
Soman at her task, will live and grow
old, and see two or three generations Of
her mistresses pass away.
The washerwoman, with scarcely a
ray OF hope to cheer her in her tolls, will
live to see fashionable sisters all die
around her, and the kitchen maid is hcai :
ty and sirong when her lady has to be
nursed like sick baby. 1t is a sad
truth that fashion pampered women are
almost worthless for all the great ends OF
human life. They have but little force
of character; they have still less power
of moral will, and quite as little physical
energy.
They live for no purpose in life; they
accomplish no worthy ends; they are
only doll forms in the hands of millioners
and servants to be dressed and fed to or
der. They dress nobody, and serve no.
body. They write no books. they set
no rich examples of virtue and womanly
life. If they rear children, servants and

give them birth. And when reared,
what are they? What do they ever
amount to but weaker scions of the old
stock? Who ever heard of fashionable
woman exhibiting any power of mind for
which it became eminent? Read the
biographies of great men and women,
who had about as little to do with fash
ions as with the changing. .clouds.-LJe

A WATER-DRINKER'S EXPERIENCE.
sr A cHALK.DIosEn.

I've vorkd in the heat, and I've workd in the cold,
I've vOrkd with the young, and I've wOrk'd with th
cid,
I've vork'd very early, nor stopp'd very soon,
I've vorkd by the sun, and I've wOrkd by the moon
But I'm sure can tell you, without any fear,
can work very well without or beer.
I've rork'd far from home. and I've wOrk'd rathsl
nigh.
rrewOrk'd when twas wet, and I'te wOrka Wher
twas dry,
I've work'd among corn, and I've vork'd among hay.
I've work d by the piece. and Eork'd BY the day;
And I'm sure can tell yIu. without any fear,
can work very well without or beer,
I've vork'd among lime, and I've work'd among chalk
I've work'd among still folks, and those that could
I've xork'd among iron. and I've vorkd among wood
I've vork'd among bad. and I've work'd among good
But wherever 90, there's nothing fear
So much Is the foolish made foolish BY bear.
I've written and read I've done sums and I've talk'd
I've been out on pleasure, I've ridden and vsIkd,
But never-no, never-the use could see
or taking strong drink. And I'm sure, as for ne,
can hoidly declare. nor the gainsayer fear.
That they are best of who touch rum nor beer.

UNCLE SANS FARM.

Two centuries ago Uncle Sam was an
infant, and his present farm was red
mems wild. The Indian was no farmer.
He left the soil unturned, and the trees
to grow as they chose, the creeks and
rivers to flow as they pleased, the useful
metals undisturbed in their bed. His
house Wss of poles, covered with the
skins of beasts. He made no roads, no
vehicles, no boat but hollow log. He
stole lis clothes from the animals, or
went unclad. The plumes of birds, beads
of beach shells, the school.boy's paint
stone, were his ornaments. The cane
and flint furnished his arrows. His pipe
was stone sharpened; his grist mill two
stones, the rudest thing that can be call
ed mortar.
Uncle Sans first crops were enriched
with his own, and Indian and British
blood. Then he began to tear down his
old barns and build better, 10 open
roads, cut canals, improve harbors, rake
snags from The rivers, and cover the
States with net woak of railroads.
Tncle Sam snaps his thumb and I'm.
ger, and cities spring up like magic; he
blocks out State, and sees budding
more glorious than the full blossoming
of an ancient empire. With bis two iron
rails, his Herculean steam horse, and
his great train Of wagons, he outstrips
the swift wind, and makes the oaks prick
up their ears or move off with fright
The streams are beSet with noisy mill
gear; the rivers filled with proud steam
ers; ships, whose tonnage is greater than
that of old John Bull, love to hover with
their white wings about the seaports,
and lay their huge bulks along the
wharves of Uncle Sam. There are thick
walled wealth in the cities, happiRess in
the country, industry and enterprise
everywhere.
Whilst more than three thousand
church spires speak OF Uncle Sans Sab
bath propensities, two hundred and thir.
ty four colleges, with academies and
common schools sown broadcast, tell of
his wishes and expectations in respect to
the rising generation.
Toss up your head, Uncle Sam, and
let us see the moist of your eye, while
we tell you that you have the best and
largest farm on this earth! There it lies
"on the top of the globe. Graded be-
tween two great oceans, with nearly thir-
ty thousand miles of sea coast, beautiful
with great harbors and proud headlands.
Surely it is an i'll trade wind that can
blow you no commercial good. Hither
shall come the ends of the earth to ex
change commodities. Your fairs shall
concentrate more interest than did the
games of ancient Greece. The produce
of your farm shall add hundred million
to The population of the globe. Last
year you raised more than two thousand
million dollars worth of agricultural pro-
ducts, and yet the fern is not half clear
ed; besides. you did over fifteen million
dollars worth of other work. Then think
Of your one hundred and thirty thousand
square miles of cOrnfelds, your hills and
deep down mountains. full of the useful
metals, and your California.
In a woId, Uncle Samr do as you have
done. and you shall be the happiest and
noblest uncle that ever graced this earth.

A HEART FOR EVERY ONE.

OIL there's heart for every one,
II every one could find it,
Then up and seek, ere youth is gone,
whate'er the toll ne'er mind i'll
For IL you chance to meet at last
With that one heart intended
To be q blessing unsurpassed,
Till life itself is ended,
How would You prize the labor done,
How grieve if you'd resign'd it;
Tor there's heart for every one.
II every one could find 1t.
Two hearts are made, the angels say.
To suit each other dearly,
But each one takes different way
A way not found so clearly
Yet though we seek, and seek for years,
The pains is worth the taking,
For what the life of home endesrs
Like hearts Of angels making7
Then haste, and guard the treasure won,
When fondly you've en.hrined it;
For there's heart for every one,
If every one could find it!

Now that the election is over, and
there is no possible necessity,-only that

to favor Kansas being a slave State B.

the trimming party papers that advocated
the election of "Buck and Brock" say

were pursuing -! And was not the action
