~ The Oreal Guards, company that
did much service during the Kansas war,
had festival at Lawrence on Christmas
day. They turned out seventy rifles, and
were dressed in the uniform presented
them by the young ladies of Mount Oreal
Institute, Worcester, Massachusetts,
Some of the prisoners confined at Lecomp-
ton belong to the Company, were released
for three days, IN order TO permit them to
take G part an The Festival The cores
pendent of the Missouri Democrat says,
very properly:
This is virtually admitting that they are
not guilty Of the alleged charges set forth
in the Indictment, yet they are held as pris-
oners, seemingly, FIR the purpose of graft
flying party hatred. IF they are guilty,
why are they allowed to travel around the
country if innocent, why held in bondage |!
Here is a party Of men clothed with Fed
eral authority, and paid by the govern
'nent to proclaim to the world that justice
is done, that lively men are convicted of
manslaughter, and sentenced to five years
in the penitcntiary, yet they are permit
ted to escape if they choose SO to do.

A letter for BOYS.

Ny DEAR GEORGE could have wept
the other day, when | saw you smoking a
cigar. Only fourteen gears old, and al
ready at work to poison your body and
soul with tobacco! Oh, this is sad in
deed. My dear boy, you see net what is
before you If you did, you would be APP
palled, and you would fall on your knees,
aud entreat your Heavenly Father to save
you from the w&steful, filthy, wicked habit
of using tobacco.
Do not excuse yourself by saying that
some great and good men use tobacco
The great and good men who do SO, are in
danger of sinking into very little and very
wicked men, before they die.
Tobacco and rum What twin broth
ers! What mighty agents Of Satan =
What large shale of the American
people they are destroying | love my
children; and because | love them, |
had rather bury them, than see them
defile themselves with rum and tobacco.
AS Paul said to Timothy, so say | to
you: "Keep thyself pule." Be clean III
your person, and clean in your heart. But
depend upon it, You can be neither, if.you
use tobacco. Your friend,

GIT ENOUGH SLEEP.-We have often
heard young men remark that four or FIVE
hours sleep were all they wanted, and all
that the human system required. The
habit of going without sufficient sleep is
very injurious. Thousands, no doubt, per-
manently iniure their health in this way.
We live in fast age, when every body
seems to be trying to invert the order of
nature. If folks will persist in turning
night into day, it is not to be wondered
that few live out the allotted term of life
No matter what be mans occupation
physical or mental, or hkeOthello's gone"
and living in idleness-the constitution
cannot last, depend upon it, without suf
ticiency of regular and refreshing Sleep
John Hunter, the great surgeon, died sud
denly of spasmodie affection of the heart,
disease greatly encouraged BY want OF
sleep. In Just published volume, by a
medical man, there is one great lesson that
hard students and literary men may learn,
and that is that Hunter probably killed
himself by taking too little Sleep" "Four
hours rest at night and one after dinner,
cannot be deemed sufficient to recruit the
exhausted powers of the body aud mind"
Certainly not, and the consequence was,
that Hunter died early. If men will insist
on cheating sleep, her "twin sister, DEATH
will avenge he insult.

A SILENT CoUPLE.-In town in Or
apge County, New York, there are now
living man aud his wife who have not
spoken TO each other for eight years. They
often so to work together--sleep in one
bed-take their meals at the same table,
and show not the slightest anger towards
each other. The only reason TO be as
signed tor their obstinate and protracted
silence, is that each is too proud TO speak

The INDEPENDENT PREss.-There
seems to be an impression abroad among
political editors that men are politicians
first, fools next, and last Of all men of bu-
siness, mechanics, merchants, professional
men and what not. The fact is, the very
reverse is the true order Men are first
merchants, mechanics, professional men,
farmers and so forth-next, some are
fools; and of these latter, few are poll
ticians 1t is in this capacity that they
subscribe to newspapers. Men take the
Journal that suits them best in their pri-
vate capacity; which contains the most
news, the most advertisements, and which
is in the habit of telling them the most
truth about politics.
journalism in the United States is rap
idly passing the stage of party papers,
There are party papers still IN various parts
of the country, and very ridiculous affairs
some of them seem. But they are going
down; no one will buy them; their doom
is sealed. But the independent press has
not yet reached its full development. 1t
is only in a transition state; its influence
IS yet immature. Yet few years, and
the politicians who now deride it shall see
whether it have influence or no.

THE WAGES OF LABOR IN THE u. s.
The work of a Frenchman, LIE Play, on the
.W orkmen of Europe and America has
the following about labor in this country
2 1.-THE average wages of laborers in the
whole United States and Territories III
1850, including California and Oregon,
where the wages were very high, was about
as follows:
nMsat5a.y Farm hands d.. with boar, ,s31
Day Wages to laborers, without board 10
Day wages 10 carpenters &c 2,07
"These rates are infinitely higher than
those received by the laborers Of any other
country. The opportunities Of personal adj
vancement in our LAND, in every department
of life, have been unparalleled by any other
portion of the world i'll any age. As i'll
politics the sons of our poorest men may
and often do, reach the highest honors, SO
the business world in commerce, in the
mechanic artist manufactures, land in every
avenue oflabor, industry, perseverance, and
strict attention to the pursuits selected are
almost invariably crowned with success,
and our richest, as we'll as our best and
greatest men, have nearly all commenced
under the most discourag;ng and unprom-
ising circumstances.
