SCATTER THE GERMS OF THE
BEAUTIFUL.

ScATTER the germs of the beautiful.
By the wayside let them fall,
That the rose may spring BIZ the cottage gate
And the vine on the garden wall;
Cover the rough and the rude Of earth
With a veil Of leaves ard flowers,
And mark with the opening bud and cup
The march Of summer hours.
Scatter the germs Of the beautiful
In the holy shrine of home;
Let the pure, and the fair, and the graceful
there
In their loYei,est lustcr come;
Leave not a trace of deformity
In the temple Of the heart.
But gather about it, hearth the gems
OF Nature aud of Art.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the temples OF our Cod
The God who starred the uplfted sky,
And lowered the tramplcd sod;
When lie built temple for himself,
And home for his priestly race,
lie reared each arch in symmetry,
And curved each line in grace
Scatter the germs Of the beautiful
In the depths Of the human soul;
They shall bud and blossom, and bear the fruit
While the endless ages roll;
Plant with the flowers Of charity
The portals Of the tomb,
And the fair and the pure about thy path
In Paradise shall bloom

KANSAS.

Shrieking for freedom. low term
of reproach used By the pro-slavery
papers for lack Of argument, has lately
Got to be the business occupation Of
half the Democratic party. Geary
shrleked; Walker shrieked: then Dou-
glas shrieked. and half the Northern
Democratic papers echoed the note. and
now stanton has sent up his little
shrek, IN the shape Of message to the
Free State Legislature Of Kansas
These terrible shrieks have so frighten-
ed poor Pugh and other prominent
Democrats at Washington, that they
are bcwildered and don't know what TO
say or do-have so frightened the pro-
slavery ruffians Of Kansas that they are
escaping from the Territory as fast as
they can, and have so terrified the
whole Democratic party. that II is sha-
king to pieces all over the Union.
If there was any thing low or dis
honest as the Democratic papers have
always charged. in shricking for free
dom, II was to be expected that party
would soon monopolize it If it was
useful for party ends or dcmagogucism
nothing could be more natural than for
the Democrats 10 take 60 IL. Acting
Governor Stanton's statement that he
shrinks from "a sense of duty" is very
amusing. How completely he has
learned the trick. But who knows but
the fellow NAV be sincere may have
become a fantic, or even an abolition
ist.
He talks about the Lecompton Con-
stitution and the calamities that
threaten the public pea e" in Kansas as
well as any frantic thc:e.
lie even proposes in his message 4
plan for securing n vote on the Consti-
tuition, and, what is worse than all, "re-
commcnds the passage of law making
fraudulent return Of votes felony"
All, he must have turned complete fan.
tic, or lac never would have dared 20
make such a recommendation as that.
No further apprehension need be felt
about Kansas. The Free State men
have already possession Of the Gov
ernmcnt there. and will complete the
work of making a Free State. while
the Democrats have undertaken TO do
the shrieking.-Sate Journal.

of the Border Ruflian rule in Kansas: /:

TIE BIRD THAT SUNG IN MAY.

\ bird last Spring came to my window shuttle cr
One lovely morning at the break of day;
Aud from his little throat did sweetly utter
A most mclodious lay.
lie had no language for his joyous passion,
No solemn measure, nor artistic rhyme;
Yet no devoted minstrel e'cr did fashion
Such perfect tune and time.
IL sccm'd of thousand joys thousand stories,
All gushing forth in one tumultuous tide
hallelujah for the morning glories
That bloomcd on every side.
And with each canticle's voluptuous ending
lie slipped a dew drop from the dripping
pane;
Then hcavcnward his little bill extending,
Broke forth in song again.
thought to emulate his Wild emotion,
Aud learn Thanksgiving from his tuncful
tongue;
Hut human heart ne CT uttered such devotion,
Nor human lips such song.
At length he few and left me in my sorrow ,
I.c-t I should hear those tender notes no
more;
And though earl, walked for him cacl, NOR.
ruw,
lie came not nigh my door.
But once again, one silent. summer even,
met him hopping in the new mown hay
But he wis mute, aud looked not up to heaven,
The bird that sung in May!
Though nov | hear from dawn 10 twilight
The hosrsc woodpccker and the noisy Jay,
In vain I seek through lcailcss grove aud
The bird that sung In May.
And such, me thinks, are childhood dawn
Ing pleasures,
They charm moment and then ily away;
Through life We sigh aud seek those missing
treasures,
The birds that sung In May.
This little lesson. then, my hoy. remember.
To seize each bright winged blessing in it,

And ncr,cr hope to catch in cold December
The bird that sung in May.

&c The Charleston Courier, one OF the

Slave trade, is very indignant concerning the
provision in the will Of G. w. Cusr,., for the
freedom Of his slaves at the expiration of Eve
years. The Courier sayss
ut is high time Virginia had some Law on
her statute book against this destruction Of
property. There are no moro slaves in that
