A PRAYER MEETING PROHIBITED
Tho.correspondont Of the New York CON-
mcrcial, writing under the date Of the 2lst
ult, says: ga praycr-meeting for the
emancipation Of American slaves was ap-
pointed to take place at the French Evan
gclical church, in the Rue Chanchat, on
the night before last. Yesterday morn.
ing, in passing the church, I saw q
bill on the bulletin board which announc.
ed that on account of Unforeseen circum-
stances the meeting would not take place.

cumstances, and received for answer, 'the

Notwithstanding the latencss Of the sea-
SON, and notwithstanding the loss of the
crop of fall wheat in some sections, there
is every reason to anticipate moro than an
average crop of wheat and Of oats and po-
tatocs, and with good July and August,
q bountiful supply Of corn. In our own
section, the farmers have the best Of rea-
sons for encouragement. The winter
wheat here has stood tho season remarka-
BILE we'll. While in many parts Of the
State it has failed entirely, and in others
is but half crop; in Stephenson County
it looks bright and thrifty, and good
yield is morally certain. This fact is one
which will give still greater value to the
fertile acres Of our County.-Freeport

From Kansas.

A letter has been received in Lancaster,
Pa, from Mr.. Nathan Miner, giving the
result of his experience and observation Of
affairs in Kansas during his stay in the
Territory. On his journey through Mis-.
souri,, he was struck with the agricultural
capabilities of that State, though he says
the people there are under the strange de-
lusion that good butter can not be made
in their climate; and, as matter Of fact,
Mr. Miner found the butter set before
him at the hotels to possess richness OF
favor that he says he will remember to
his dying hour-the scent proceeding
from it being happy combination Of
the peculiar delicacies Of tho bison, the
muskrat and polccat. On passing the
line of the State into Kansas, however,
Mr.. Miner, found that the Yankee
settlers mado excellent butter from the
same kind of COWS and the same pasture.
Border Ruflian butter" is one of the dis.
pensations be most earnestly prays to be
delivered from hereafter.
Mr.. Miner, declares, as the result Of
his observations and enquiries, that the
hundred dth part Of the atrocities committed
by the Border Ruf6ans, with the aid or BY
tho counivanco of the Bogus authorities,
have never yet been revealed to the world.
He thinks there is no moro need Of u.
S. Governor there, than in Ohio, for he
says the sun in its annual course does not
shine on more orderly population, or one
more capable of self government, than the
people Of Kansas. From the increasing
and overwhelming preponderance Of Free
State men, he has no doubt it must even-
tuaRy bo a Free State. Judge Cato told
some one in conversation that "the ID
old hornets nest (meauiug the Free
States] has fairly boiled over this Spring"
Of those who came with the object OF
making Kansas Slave State, Mr.. Miner
says /" they are greatly discouraged They
do not receive that aid from home they OK
pected, and, as they do nothing, they will
soon starve out, if not better attended TO-"
He thinks tho Government has not chang
ed its policy Of favoring the establishment
of Slavery, bu. tha. it has become intimi-
dated by the strength of the Free State

SONG.

A maid reclined beside a stream
At fall Of summer day,
And, half awake and half Q dream,
she watched the ripples' play:
She marked the waters fall and heave,
The deepening shadows throng,
And heard, ss darkened down the eve,
The rivers babbling song;
And thus It sung, with thinking tongue,
That ripping, shsdovy river
"Youth's brightest day will fade away,
Ios ever and for everw
The twilight past, the moon at last
Rose broadly DER the night,
Each ripple CLEANS beneath her beams
As wrought in silver bright.
The heaving waters glide along,
But mingling with their voice,
The nightingale nov pours his song,
And makes the shade rejoice.
And thus he sung, with tuneful tongue,
That bird beside the river
"whsn youth is gone true love shines on
For ever and for everl"
