A. Talk with You.

/ "Rcader, honest thlnRIFg rcadcr, yol
who have at heart the welfare of freedom
can you point to any course which the
HcrGH Of Freedom has advised the peo
pie to pursue, or any course which it has
itself taken, which has proved an injury
to the cause you love? Have we ever
opposed men without reason, or measure!
without good grounds therefor ?"-Kan
sas Herald Of Freedom.
As I have been a constant reader of The
Herald, and 4 warm friend OF the paper
I feel as if the enquiry was addressed tt
nc in common with THOUSANDS of others
and shall answer the enquiry through
the press, the medium by which it i.
made public.
To my humble Judgment, the number
Of the Herald from which the above was
taken, contains very much that is well
calculated to injure the cause which the
friends of freedom love, and which they
have supported at so great sacrifice,
The first article under the editorial
head has that tendency, because the
whole tenor Of that ARTICLE is to discredit
the action of the Free State men, from
the commencement of the trouble ue to
this time IF that is not injuring the
cause, ] should like to know what would
do it.
| should also like to know how an hon
est reader of the Herald at this distance
from the scene, was to reconcile different
parts of this same article. Take these
assertions for instance:
= "Now peace and tranquility rcigps on
every hand. Others may prognosticate
evil, and tell us it is the quiet which pre-
cedes the storm, yet the calm observer
knows such is not the case. Our civil
rights are now within our REACH, and
nothing but impolitic action or "aasterly
inactivity" can defeat US"
That is hopeful view of thing, but
contains back stroke at the course adopt
ed by the Free State men. But see how
this compares with the above:
"Freemen of Kansas Do YOU not see
the progress of the enchanter? The last
hope is dying out. Another period lost,
and We arc tost-irrevocably LOST"
There is more evil "prognosticated' in
those four lines, than we have ever seen
in any column of printed matter outside
of the Herald, and every "honest think
ing reader" who loves the Free State
cause, will be srieved at the purpose and
effect of suoh language,
But the next article, that in relation
to the Topeka Constitution, is to the
same RprPort. and its whole influence is
bad. Several Conventions have unani-
maously end dorsed that Constitution, and no
meeting Of Free State men, that bas come
to the knowledge of the public, has op-
posed, why then this opposition of the
Herald? l. the object distraction and
defeat? such would be the effect, if the
paper was received as a reliable advocate
of Freedom in Kansas.
| have no heart to pursue this investi-
cation further; apd will close by saying,
that whenever an editor feels compelled
to assert over apd over again his devo-
ton to cause, we may be pretty sure
there is something wrong in his actions,
otherwise there would be no occasion for
HIM to trumpet his own praise.
This article is free from innYendoes,
and there is no mistake about its author

A. Connecticut Story.

A man IN rather Indifferent cirCums;an-
ces, surrounded by large family, being
entirely out of meat, had recourse to the
sheeplold of his neighber, a wealthy far.
mer, for relief. The neighbor, having a
large flock OF sheep, did not prece:ye he
had lost many until one of the finest of the
flock, very large and fat, was missing,
and counting his sheep he found he had
lost several. Unable to account for this
extraordinary loss, he resolved, a few
nights after to watch, About midnight
he observed an uncommon disturbance
among the sheep, by the sudden appear
ance ola man dressed in disguise. Gu
riosity, as well as 10 observe the conduct
of the person so as to find him out, indu-
ced him to be still. In the flock there
was ram with which, it scenes, the man
was in the habit of conyersing, as if he
had been the actual owner of the sheep.
well, Mr.. RAM said the nocturnal
visitant Il have come to buy another
sheep-have you any more to sell!'
Upon which he replied himself, as in
the person of the ram:
Yes, l have sheep to SELL
By this time the owner of the sheep pre-.
ceiyed him to be one OF his neighbors.
What will you take for the fat wealh.
er?' says the purchaser.
-Four dollars, says Mr.. Ram.
That is a very high price, says the man;
but as you are SO good as to wait on me
for the pay, think | will take him. Well.
Mr.. Ram, continues the honest sheep
buyer, 'let us see how many sheep have
bought Of you
If | am not Mistaken says Mr. Ram,
this is the fifth
lie then cast up the amount of the
whole; and after giving Mr.. Ram a polite
invitation to call on him for the pay, and
bidding him good night, led the weather
home, while the owner lay laughing at the
novelty of the scene, as highly gratifed
as if he had received ample pay for the
whole.
A few nights atterward, when he sup
posed his neighbor was nearly eat Of NUT
ton. he caught the old ram, and tied lit
tie bag under his neck, and placed a piece
of paper between the horns, on which he
wrote in large letters; Il haze come for
my pay' Under the line he footed up the
whole amount of the FIVE sheep exactly as
his neighbor had done, as before related;
he then took the ram to bis neighbor's
house, where he tied him near his door,
and went home
When the neghbor arose in the NOR
ming he was not Little surprised to find
l sheep tied at bis his door; but it is be-
yond words to express his astonishment
when he found it was the old ram with
which he had been dealing so extensively
N mutton, with his errand on his fore
head; and the amount of the five sheep
made out, as he had done a
ew nights before in the presence Of the
am.
Suffice it to say, he obtained the money,
md, after tying it up in the bag, and tear.
ng the paper from his horns, he set the
am at liberty, when he Immediately ran
rome jingling his money, as if proud of
lavng accomplished the object of his er-
and, to the no small qualification of his
,wner.

GIVE YOUR CHILD A PAPER-We clip
the following from an exchange. Who
wrote it, or where it came from, are alike
unknown to US, but we cheerfully put il
in circulation, with endorsement:
A child beginning TO read becomes de-
lighted with a newspaper because he reads
the things which are familiar, and will
make progress accordingly. A newspa-
per in on year is worth quarters school
ing to child, and every iather must con-
s.d-r4be substantial information which is
connected with advancement. The moth
er of a family being one Of the heads,
and having q more immediate charge of
children, should bGrselfbe instructed. A
mind is thus foftifd against theills of life,
and is braced for by'emergaQcy., Chill
dren, amused by reading or study; are of
course more consderdte, and most easily
governed. How many parents who have
not spent twenty dollars for books for
their families, would have given hundreds
to reclaim son or daughter. who has
ignorandy or thoughtlessly fallen into
error?

again, about bis Satanic Majesty having

have the soul if he could furnish more
money than the victim could spend. The
young man tried every conceivable meth
cd of cxtrayagance--wine, woman. gam
ing fllibustering. and politics but yet the
devil furnished the cash. One expedient
after another failed; the devil cqunted, the
time--only two years that he must wait
for the soul, and mocked the effort Of the
despairing man. One more trial was re.
solved upon; the man started newspa-
per. The devil growled at the bills at
