A STORY WITH A MoRAL.-.Fle Bucyrus COhio)
.7ournGlstells a ory of D. aud j. two verdantg
gentlemen of that place, who went to Cleveland
in company. On arriving there D. proposed u
spree, but j., satisfied with seeing the lions,
thought it best to forcgo visit to the elephant
Accordingly d. started off alone, leaving his
watch and considerable amount Of money with
his friend for safe keeping. Never having had
so largea sum of money nhs possession before,
j. felt kcenly the greatness of the responsibility
imposed upon him. He passed a sleepless night
neditating on the mishaps that might befaIl the
reckless d. His sconcernwas not diminished the
next morning, on finding that the reyeller had not
returned, aud the thought flashed across his
mind that if he was murdered, the possession of
his watch and money would direct suspicion upon
him! As the hours wore away and brought no
D. with them, his anguish aud fear gave place
to desperation, and rushing to the lake side, he
hurled the evidences of his anticipated crime
into the water.
Hardly had he returnedsto his hotel when d.
entered, bearing the marks ofaprotracteds spree,
and of its occasional lconcomitant-a fight. He
had become involved in broil, locked supin
watch house, and fined, and he wanted his mon.
ey. The scene that ensued was more exciting
than agreeable to.either party, a5compro-
mise was finally effected, and thotwo- returned
to thernral districts impressed with the convic-
tion that thought may sometimes be agreeable
to go on; aspree, it is not always very pleasant
work to get overit.

Lectures.

Ew The Lecture of Mr.. j. NJ. KELLY,
on last Friday Evening week, at the Con-
gregational Church, was we'll written
production, and reflected considerable
credit, as first effort, upon the lecturer.
Its subject was The PURIrANs," and
the lecturer traced, graphically and some
times eloquently. the rise, progress, hab-
It's, customs and characteristics of this
peculiar people, as well as the grand re-
suits which, through them, have been
achieved. The lecture was entertaining
well delivered, and heartily applauded.
On Friday evening last, Rev. G. l..
CuMISs, gave us a lecture upon SLAVERY.
MIR. CuMISs is hearty hater Of the "pe-
culiar institution" and impassionately
denounced it in arguments, which, if
neither new or novel, were yet forcible
and convincing.

TOMLINSON.-In Independence, on the
18TH February, CARRIE, only child of the Rev
ID. G. ToMLINsoN, aged years and 3 months.
Young as was this intelligent and lovely
child, her own strong claims to the love and
admiration of those who knew her, and the pc
cuar circumstances under which she was
snatched away, demand more than mere an.
nouncement of her untimely death.
Some months ago, while at play, she acciden
tally swallowed q small pebble of the size of q
common pea, and came very near dying at the
time. 1t remained on her lung, and from that
day commenced severe pulmonary disease, at
tended with frequent attacks of strangulation
each Of which seemed to the agonized parents
as about to terminate her existence, and so KEEP,
them in cruel suspense till their dear child died
as had been fearfully anticipated. She had
however, intervals Of quiet and of apparent i'm
provement. and the natural sweetness of hel
disposition and the powers of her mind, dis
played themselves in characteristics us bea,lti
full and diversified as the tints produced on the
clouds by the setting sun. Her mental activity
seemed to increase as she was less able to en-
ploy her physical activity. Her thoughts dwell
much on heaven and the world beyond the
grave. " Shall be an angel, mother - was a
question put by the little pmttler only the even
ing before her voice was to cease forever on
earth. Pure and sinless she lived and died
loving and loved. 1t is the consolation of hel
bereaved father and mother that her mortality
has put on immortality" and that she still lives
in spirit land. To them, in the words of Long.
fellow, "the sad funeral tapers are heavens
distant lamps" These weeping parents trust
ingy exclam:
here is no Death What seems so is transition
This life Of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysian
Whose portal we call Death.
She is not dead,-the child of our Affection
But gone into that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protection.
And Christ himself doth rule
Farewell, sweet child, lovely in mind and
features! Thy short life has taught MANY les.
sons, and thy presence in that home, now SC
lonely, hallowed everything there, and ncve,
will be forgotten. May the consultations the
father has SO often bestowed upon other heart
stricken mourners, belong now to himself and
his companion. May his belief in God as q
universal Father-in Christ as a universal Saw
lour--ln creative love that sustains and pro
tects and blesses-in a gospel that brings peace
and joy-in faith that knows no yindictiye
vengeance, and no torrents without end-may
these sentiments, 50 consonant with Just per
ception of infinite goodness, power and wisdom,
he balm for lacerated affections and poignant
sorrow. w ~

EF The company of volunteers pro-

lection of the northwestern frontier of our
State, has already been organized, and
started on Tuesday, Cd inst. from Fort

Hamilton Freeman says they will be d.

H. II. Heath, editor of the Dubuque
Northwest, as compensation for a series
of mendacious attacks upon Judge Doug
las. and the democracy of this State and
of the whole northwest, has been appoint
ed Postmaster of Dubuque. We certain
ly think the office we'll deserved, for no
man ever more fully sacrificed consisten-
cy honesty and manhood in any cause
than has this same editor in behalf of the
administration.
The Democracy of Bremen county held

CAPITAL COMING WEsT.-very large
amounts of capital will seek investment in
Chicago this Spring. Agents for eastern
capitalists are busy making preparations
to loan all the money that may be wanted
for term of years, upon real estate secu-
rity. The rate of interest is ten per cent.
with commissions added, and we have no
doubt but before June there will be plen-
ty Of money deposited in this city by
New Englanders and New Workers, which
can be had for eight per cent. and COM
missions. Six per cent. is the highest
rate that it will command in the East, on
real estate security. With the prospect
OF higher prices for produce, low rates of
exchange, plenty Of money to be had at
reasonable interest on long time, there is
certainly good prospect of times in the
near future Chicago Tribune.
