How Sweet tbs to Return.

How sweet It's to return
Where once we've happy been,
Though paler now life's lamp may burn,
And years have rolled between.
And if those eyes beam welcome yet
That wept our parting then,
o, in the smiles of friends thus met
We live whole years again.
They tell us of fount that flow'd
In happier days of yere,
Whose waters bright fresh youth bestowed
Alas the founts no more!
But smiling mem'ry still appears,
Presents her cup and when
We sip the sweets of vanished years,
We live those years again.

Bsg~ 1t is wonderful how cheap happi
ness used to be. 1t lay about, like the
sunshine, within arm's length of every
body. 1t used to grow in the fields; we
have found it there, but not lately. Some
times five speckled eggs in grassy nest
constituted it; sometimes four beautiful
blue ones in the lilaes.
1t used to swim in the brooks, and turn
up its silvery and mottled sides, like a
polished sabre, sprinklcd with the color
of fame, which is generally understood to
be crimson. We have found it, many
time, beside messy stone, when it looked
very much like spring flower; we have
seen it coming down in the snow, and
heard it descending in the rain.
What world Of it used to be crowded
into Saturday afternoon. An old news
paper with cedar ribs, a tail like three
bashaws, and penny's worth of twine,

many an old time-the entire stock in
trade of one perfectly happy.-Chicogo

THE VOICE OF DEAD NATIONs.-Mr
Alger, in his recent celebrated Grafton,
uttered the following impressive passage,
which ought to be written on the statute
books of every State in the Union:
"The dead nations whose giant skcle-
tons now lie bleaching and crumbling on
the sands of time, all died of sin. Itwas
their crimes that dug their graves, and
pushed them in. Licentious luxury sap
ped the foundation strength, and rotted
the live virtue of one-and it disappeared
beneath the green pool of its own corrup-
ton. Brutal war, made business of
and carried in every direction, drew upon
another the combined wrath of the world
and it was dashed upon the rock of its
own barbarous force. Domestic bondage
grown enormous, trodden under foot, and
goaded to madness, rose on another-and
buried it in the confagration and slaugh-
ter of its own provocation. Internal an
tipathies based on sectional differences,
fed by selfish interest and taunting de-
bate, finally exploded in the quarrelsome
parties of another-and hurled its dis
severed fragments to ruin by the convul-
sive eruption of its own wrong and hatred
OF all the mighty empires whose melan-
choly ghosts now pace the pallid margin
of oblivion, not one ever sunk but its own
fall was through internal iniquity, some
way or other. Shall the stately shade of
republican America too go down to join
the doleful company of crowned scepters,
moving them beneath to rise up at her
coming with the sardonc mock, cart
thou also as we?" If VIC would avoid
their doom of vengeance we must not
tread their path of guilt"

WOMAN's SPHERE.-NIrs. M. p. Legare,
editrcss of the New Orleans Southern
Mirror, says: "Woman is by appoint
ment supreme in the domestic circle; it
is much more important that she have the
finer faculties of her nature in high
state of cultivation than the stronger or
more masculine qualities of the mind. She
had better be a philanthropist than phil
osopher. One Florence Nightingale is
worth more to mankind than all the Lu-
cretia Motifs and Fanny L. Townsends
that ever cursed the world while in the
domestic circle, one good, intelligent, ami
able wife or sister, who, with such men,
tai training as serves to develope its beau
ties, and thus invite the sterner sex to
WOO its refined pleasures and humanizing
influences, shines. brighter than whole
'woman's rights convention in conclave,
resolving to don the habiliments and
usurp the realm of the other sex. Wo-
mans element is love, her weakness is
her strength. battle against innova-
tion, female suffrage, lady physicians, and

HELP ONE ANOTHER. Sir Walter
Scott wrote: "The race of mankind would
perish did we cease to help each other.
From the time that the mother binds the
child's head, till the moment that some
kind assistant wipes the death damp from
the brow of the dying, we cannot exist
without mutual help. All therefore, that
need aid have right to ask it of their
fellow -mortals; and no one who has it in
his power to grant can refuse without In

A GEM FROM AN OLD BooK.-It has
been eloquently and truly said, that
if Christianity were compelled to flee
from mansions of the great, the academies
of philosophers, the halls of legislators,
or the throngs of busy men, we should
find her last retreat with woman at the
freside Her last audience would be the
children gathering round the knee of
mother; the last sacrifice, the secret
prayer, escaping in silence from her lips,
and heard, perhaps, only at the throne Of
God.

SNUBBING THE REPUBLICANs.-The Boston
Journal, whose hunkerish procliyities are too
we'll known to require comment endorses the
nomination of Mr.. Banks by the fragment of the
American party, which held its Convention on
the 10th, and attributes the prompt attendance of
the nomination rendered to Mr.. Banks, upon the
Springfield platform, to the desire of that gem
tleman to cut himself adrift from the radical por-
ton of the Republican party. Hear what it
says:
"The promptness with which Mr. Banks ac
cepted the American nomin alton, under the pc
culiar circumstances of the case, will excite very
general surprise. A cautious, calculating policy
would seem to dictate the proprety of evading
acceptance until after the meeting of the Repub-
lean Convention. We cannot but admire the
boldness with which Mr.. Banks accepted the
nomination, and his frank endorsement of the
Springfield platform.
Without being in the secrets Of Mr.. Banks
we presume that his hearty acceptance of the
American nomination is dictated By desire to
c8 himself adrtft from The radical portion of the
Republican partg-that portion Of The party rep
resented By The Worcester Spy He probably feels
confident of securing the nomination and support
of the moderate and conservative Republicans
and he has only preeipitated division which
must come sooner or later If by his action in
this matter he force the altrGists to set IN for
themselves, Mr.. Banks aoiH haze ACCOMPLISHED
good aUork for oic he oiB be entitled to the thanks

LATEST FROM KANSAS The TOPEKA Con-
sTITUTIoN SUsTAINED.-Th Topeka Conven-
ton met on the ninth of June, General Lane
presiding. Among other business, a resolution
was adopted, disavowing the Territorial
Government, declaring the admission of Kan
zas in the Union under the Topeka constitu-
ton, to be the only method of adjusting the
present difficulties, pledging the free State
party to persevere in the application now
pending before Congress, believing that a
measure SO just, and so accordant with the
principles of the just legislation of the coun.
try, must eventually be conceded, and finally
declaring it to be the duty of the Legislature,
to complete the State organization. Another
resolution passed, recommending the free
State party to disregard the approaching cleo
ton, and denouncing any man who consents
to become a candidate under the pro- savery
constitution. The Convention adjourned.
The Legislature met on the 10th Of June,
and went into secret session, discussing the
pTopriety of Immediately organizing and putt
ting in operation the new government.
The Senate elected w. A. Phillips, United
States Senator in the place of General Lane.
The Legislature almost unanimously sus-
tanned the Topeka Convention.
E,nigrant Train Destroyed.-Advic from
Fort Riley state that the Cheyenne Indians
had destroyed an emigrant train west of that
pest, killing six emigrants, and wounding
four others. These Indians wero in the rear
OF Col. Summers forces.
Advises from Kanzas state that Phillips was
chosen State, and not United States Senator
