next would lend Nelly my dress, and
she might come, and that is the way we
have done this week. But last night
somebody sent sister a dress just like

"Indeed | am," was the emphatic an
swer. And on the following Monday,
when the little Nelly in the new dress en-
tered the school room, her face radiant as
a rose in the sunshine, and approaching
the teachers table, exclaimed in tones as
musical as those of freed fountain--
I'm coming every day to school now,
and am SO glad - Miss M. felt as she
never fei,--that it was more blessed to
give than receive. No millionaire, when
he saw his name in the public prints,
lauded for his thousand dollar charities,
was ever half so happy as that poor
school teacher, who wore old gloves half
a summer longer than she ought, and
thereby saved enough TO buy that little
fatherless glrl calico dress.

THE LIGHT IN THE WINDOW.
BY CHARLES MACKAY.

Late or early home returning,
I'm the starlight or the rain,
beheld that lonely candle
Shining from the window-pane
Ever O'eI his tatlered curtain,
Nightly looking could sean,
Aye inditlng, writing, writing,
The pale figure of a man
SuIi descern behind bin fall,
The same shadow ON The wall.
Far beyond the mulky midnight,
By dim burning of his oil,
Filling aye his rapid leaflets,
have watched him al his toll
Watched his broad and sunny forehead.
Watched his white industrious hand,
Ever passing and re-passing
Watched and slrove TO understand
What impelled it, golden fame,
Bread, or bubble OF name.
Oft I've asked, debating vainly
In the silence of my mind,
What the services he rendered
TO his country or his kind.
Whether tones Of ancient music,
Or the sound OF modern gong,
Wisdom holy, humors lowly,
Sermon, essay, novel, song,
Or philosophy sublime,
Filled the measure Of his time.
OF the mighty world Of London
He was a portion unto me,
Portion Of my IGe'S experience,
Fused into my memory.
Twilight saw him at his ioios,
Morning saw his fingers run,
Laboring ever, wearying never
Of the task he had begun
Placid and content he seemed,
Like man who toiled and dreamed.
No one sought him, no one knew him,
Undisringuished was his name;
Never had his praise been uttered
In the oracles of fame.
Scanty fare and decent raiment.
Humble lodging and fire,
These lie sought for, these he wrought
for,
And he gained his meek desire,
Teaching men by written word,
Clinging to a hope deferred.
So he lived. At last ! missed him
Sill might evening twilight fall,
But no taper lit his lattice,
Lay no shadow on the wall.
In the winter of his season,
In the midnight Of his day,
Mid his writing, and indiing.
Death had beckontd him away.
Ere the sentence he had planned
Found completion at his hand.
But this maj, so old and nameless.
Left behind him projects large,-
Schemes OF progress undeveloped,
Worthy of a nations charge
Noble lancieS uncomPIeted,
Germs OF beauty immaIurod,
Only needing kindly feeling
TO have hourished and endured +;
Meet reward in golden story,
To have lived for evermOre.
Who shall tell what schemes majestic
Perish in the active brain
What humanity is robbed OF,
Ne'er TO be restored again
What we lose because we honor
Over much the mighty dead,
And dispirIt living merit,
IIeaping scorn upon his head
Or perchance, when kinder grown
LEAVING II 10 dle--alune !

LIsERIA.-The following extract from the
Ledger indicates that Liberia is advancing in
every requisite for an independent State, and
has already found the nucleus for great agri-
cultural and commercial community. The
ability of the colored race for selfgovernment
is abundantly demonstrated. Would not some
OF our free people of color benefit their own
and their childrens condition by emigrating to
this land of promise.

name is Edward Garrison Draper, son Of a
highly respectable colored resident Of Balti-

retired member of the Bait more bar, and to

RED LIoS, Dec. 28, 1857.
Mn. EDrToR-I read ia your paper Of the Cd
instant, an article over the signature OF I" Sans
Plutarch," praising the farms and farmers in
the neighborhood of the Bear, ali of which
was very good so far as he went on with the
eulogy. Although not farmer myself, VET
past observation dictates to me that he omitted
other farms and farmers, beside those he
mentioned, in the Immediate neighborhood of
the Bear, that are likewise worthy Of consid
Grafton. l allude to the farms of the Messrs.
Copper. These farms lay adjoining the Bear,
and Tor high state Of cultivation, good soil,
neatness of improvements, &C., are hard to
compete with.
They are titled by Messrs. George Lee,
John Lee and Joseph T. Brown, three men
who, for practical knowledge in agriculture,
cannot be surpassed In this or any other State
in the Union.
In addition to the skillful cultivation of the
lands by the males, go to their houses ami
witness the dairy and all other branches be-
longing to the female departments how per-
fectly, judiciously, and probably they are
managed.
We might mention other farms in the neigh
borhood, such as Mir. j. T. Simmons, Lewis
Ashton's, &C., which are good aud we'll culti-

Ting RumorS.-St. Louis, Dec 28-Advices
from Kansas to the 22d inst, received by the
"Republican," state that the Constitution with
slavery was carried by large majority at the
late election. Inc returns are meagre, but
sufficient to indicate this result. At Shawnee,
the pro-savery vote was 1855 at Alathe, 200,
and at Lexington about the same.

that Gen. Lane has gone to Fort Scott with

eXterminate the pro-slavery settlers on the
Shawnee reservation, and to carry the war in

Governor Denver has assumed his position
as tiovernor of the Territory, and issued an
address to the people, In which he expect ed
the citizens to appeal to the ball It box for a
settlement Of their difficulties, and makes co.
pious extracts from the Presidents iustruc-
tions, as indicating the line OF poll cy he de-
signs to pursue, BE also states that President
Calhoun has invited himself and his presiding
oihc rs OF both Houses OF the Ter. itorial Le-
gislature to be present at the counting of the
returns OF the election held on the 2st inst.

that the Convention to re-as emble at Law
