Spring In,n;gration.

Judging from the perusal of our ex-
changes, we infer that the rush to
Kansas in the spring will be immense.
This country is now the cynosure to
the eyes of emigrants from all parts
of the Union. Her fertile soil and
salubrious climate attracts the pioneer,
while the scenes of vivid interest
which have been transacted here, rem
der her doubly attractive; and now
that peace reigns we may expect such
an infowing of population as has been
surpassed in but few instances. A
strong emigration viii start from the
East as soon as spring opens, and the
South is not behind; Virginia, Ken
tucky and Missouri, will take the
lead, other Southern States will make
out the complement, and Arkansas
will send rs one hundred "half alliga-
tor'' boys.
We expect to see no more of the
scenes of bleodshed which have char
acterized our country, and now that

itol can no longer be manufactured By a
continual strife, we doubt not that our
citizens will sober down ihto law

tous question to be decided at the bal

So we invite the emigTants from all
parts to come along. We have room.

The first ee.,-[4fh Of JGty Grafton al
Weston By Ar. A6se, laio partner Of
Gen. StTngtelloas.
At meeting held at Weston, Mo-,
on the Goth Of July. 1854, the follow
ing resolutions was passed
s.FGrst, That this Association viii,
whenever called upon by any citizen Of
Kansas Territory, hold itself in readi-
ness to go there to assist In removing
any and all emigrants who go there
under the auspices of the Northern
Emigrant Aid Societies.
".Second, That we recommend to
the citizens of other counties, and par
ticularly those bordering on Kansas
Territory, to adopt regulations similar
to those of this Association, and to
indicate their readiness to cooperate
in the objects of the first resolution.
"GEoRGE GALLOWAY, Prsst.
"B. +. STRINGFELLow, Sec'y."
These resolutions were responded to,
not only by the border counties, but
by all the counties for one hundred
and fifty miles down the Missouri
river, and other resolutions were
passed, combinations formed, and
plans adopted to plant and sustain
slavery in Kansas, at whatever cost
of treasure and of blood. They were
not passed hastily and in excitement,
as if following some atroeious outrage
of savage foes, where safety could only
be secured by perils and strife but
they were the ceel and deliberate re-
solves of men, determined on commit
ting huge crime against their eoun-
try-against God and man.

CHANGING CLOTHES.

The Synod of Kentucky was in session. The
subject of raising the salaries Of certain Profess
WAS under discussion. The Rov. Robert j.
Breckenridge, d. d., (of whom his nepew, the
new Vice President. said, "If Uncle Robert had
been appointed to a command in Mexico, they
would have been fighting to this time !")was on
he floor making a speech in opposition to the mea-
'ure. 1t had been said that ministers Of high
and large means, clothed in fine linen
md faring sumptuously every day, did not sympa
thize with those whose salaries are small. To
DR.. Breckenridge was replying. He secuted
the idea that ministers live for money. or desire
the Injuries of tie world. As for himself he chal.
lenged any man to say that he lived more frugal
ly than himself. Drawing himself up to his full
height, and standing six feet high at least, he dis
played his proportions, and exclaimed :-"As to
the linen, if there is a man on this floor who dress
es more plainly than do, ! offer to exchange
clothes with him this moment.
Directly in front Of the Moderator, and in sigh
of most of the members, sat the Rev. Mr.. Hop
kins, one of the planting clergy--a short, thick
set, and rotund brother, whose circumference ex
ceeded his altitude; and in this respect, no man il
the house presented 30 strong and striking q con
trast with the tall and courtly Kentuckian. b.
the proposition to swap clothes had hardly escape,
the lips of the speaker, before Hopkins wriggle,
himself out Of his seat, and on his feet, and erie,
out,
"Mr. Moderator, TN HIS MAN I"
The effect was instant and tremendous. TIL
image of Breckenridge. with his long arms On,
legs 2rotruding from Hopkins toggery, was up be
fore the eyes of the Synod. They could SEQ moth

they gave way to uncomfortable laughter. in whicl

TRODDEN FLOW ERs,
BY ~TENNYsoN.

There are some hearts that, like the loving vine,
Cling to unkindly rocks and ruined towers,
Spirits that suffer and do not repine-
Patient and sweet as lowly trodden flowers,
That from beneath the passer's heel arise
And give back odorous breath instead Of sighs.
But there are other hearts that will not feel
The lowly love that haunts their eyes and ears;
That wound fond faith with anger worse than steel
Add out of PHYS spring draw idle tears.
&c Nature shall it ever be thy will
III things with good to mingle, good with illf
Why should the heavy foot of sorrow press
The willing heart of accomplishing love-
Meek charity that shrinks..not from distress,
Geutleness, 10th her tyrants to reproveY
Though virtue weep for ever and lament,
With one hard heart turn to her and relent.
Why should the reed be broken that will bend,
And they that dry the tears in others eyes
Feel their own anguish yelling without end,
Their summer darkened with the smoke of signs
Sure love, to some fair Eden of his own
Will flee at last, and leave us here alone,
Love weepeth always-weepeth for the past,
For woes that are, for woes that may betide:
Why should not hard ambition weep at last,
Envy and hatred, avarice and pride?
Fate whispers sorrow, sorrow is your lot,
Thew would be rebels-love rebelleth not.

CuRcuLlo.-Ed Prarie Farmer If you allow
thew Corners" to bring with them to the Prairie
State the experience elsewherea acquired, ! will give
YOU q word about the curculio, concerning whose
deprodations l hear &C. much.
In 1852, having several fourishing plum trees,
from which | had not been permitted to eat a parti-
Gle of fruit in consequence of the mischiveous
nranks of this little marauder, one day when the
plums we're about the size OF peas, seeing an old
sarsaparilla bottle tossed about with q hole in it's
side, the happy thought occurred that this might
answer very we'll as an inquisitors's prison for the
little heretics.
Accordingly o half pint Of molasses and water
slightly acidulated with vinegar put into the bottle,
O cork was fitted to its mouth, q string about its
neck, and the sarsapariila bottle like a black cul-
prit, hung to q convenient central branch OF a
thriving damson.
Within three days 1 had captured a hundred of
the hump-backed gentry, with other rascally in
sects that think it an honor to floh the earnings
OF others. From time to time. throughout the sea-
son, the bait was renewed as necessity required,
and with the same success. The result was a full
crop from that lone tree; but not a plum matured
on any of the other trees, standing at a distance
of forty yards.
The year following, several bottles, of different
shapes and sizes, found their ribs punched in, and
all my trees but one were advanced to the dignity
, of being gallows. The result was a full crop from
t each. except the neglected one, standing two rods
4 from any of the rest. 1t produced, perhaps, the
a tenth of a crop.
s Since that time the experiment has been va
= ried and has led me to tho following conclusions
= l. Where the mouth of the bottle is left oper
4 many escape.
a 2. Where the mouth is corked, and the hole ir
$ the side left open, few, if any, escape.
e 3. An open cup secures o few, but sends out 9th
ers 30 well fed that they are able to do an extrt
d amount of mischief.
a. Where the trees stand thick on the ground,
bottle to every alternate tree will DO sufficient.
Farmers, gather up your old bottles, try the OK
pertinent, and report the result next fall to tn,
Prairie Farmer. If it succeed, the vanity to b
fed next year on sorghum saccharatum will enabl

Some love mere wealth and Try to win il;
The house to me may lowly be,

What's all the gold that glitters cold,
When link'd to hard or naughty feelinga
Whate'er we'er told, the pobler gold
Is truth of heart and manly dealingl
Then let them seek whose minds are weak,
Mere fashions smile, and try to win it,
The house to me may iowly be,
If 1 but like the people in il.
A lowly roof may give us proof
That lowly flowers are often %fairest;
And trees whose bark is hard and dark.
May yield us fruit, and bloom the raresti
There's worth as sure meath garments poor,
As e'er adorned a loftier station
And minds as just as those we trust,
Whose claim is but of wealth's creation {!
Then let them seek, whose minds are weak,
Mere fashions smile, and try to win it;
The house to me may lowly be,
