Malcolm Warren owned the little cottage in

Jus own hard earnings, while Alice had borne
ne' own share Of the burdens by purchasing all
'ne furniture. Malcolm was stout, and an ex-
eehent workman; and had never yet seen the

The gentle wife was bewiidered at first-nay
almost frightened. Cor the speech Of her hus.
band was-so Wild and incphsfenh she feared his
brain was turned. But ere long he spoke again,
and as he spoke he kissed her. He was more

On the next morning, Malcolm Warren arose
better and happier man. He was calm now,
and he told Alice all that had transpired the
night before, and when it was all told, they
prayed as redeemed souls can pray. ~, -.
Days, weeks, months passed away, and NAL
colin Warren became once more the handsome
youth that had been lorsd and cherished by
honest friends in times gone by. The flowers
of affection blOomed again about his hearth
stone, and the angel of peace and joy made a
home beneath his roof.
People wondered, when they noticed that
Adam Stanford went no more to the tavern; but
the story of that nights lesson in the village
church-yard became generally known, and other
men took it to their heart and profted BY it. 1t
was good seed sown in fertile spot, and the
fruit was abundant. The good old sexton never
again gave his example on the side of moral
ruin, but to the last day of his life he glofiied
in the reform he had helped to work, and the
last hours of his life we're cheered by knowing
that some of the happiest families in the village
blessed him for the joys that dawned upon them.

COOLING RooMs-1he warm weather will
shortly be here, and every one will be seeking
the refreshing influence Of cool and shady
place, whereuRto they can retreat from the bla-
zing sun; so we will give our readers a few
hints concerning the cooling Of their houses.
The first necessity IS thorough draught. This
can always be obtained BY opening every door
and window in the basement, the tow Of every
window above, and by throwing each door vide
open; but above all, be sure that the trap door
in the roof is open, and there is plenty Of air
room from Il down the stairs, so that whichever
be the direction of the wind, there win be q
least one ascending current Of air IN the house,
Another requisite is shade. Our common slat
shutters answer well for the windows, but the
most cheap and convenient shelter for the roof,
Is to cover IL thickly with straw, dried reeds, or
rushes. These will resist the influence Of the
MONDAY sun, and keep the garrett almost a. cool
as the basement. One of the most simple me-
thOds, and at the same time cheapest means Of
officially lowering the temperature Of room,
% wet cloth Of any size, the larger the bet
ter, and suspend It in the place you want cool
ing; let the room be well ventilated, and the
temperature will sink from ten to twenty degrees
In less than half an hour. The above hints viii
be useful to many, and a. last suggestion, we
will inform the reader that, in Summer, Il il
well To keep solution Of chloride Of lime In The
house, and occasionally sprinkle It In the more
frequented parts, as the passages and EiAirss---

The exnltation of the friends of the Admins
tration over the passage of the English Bill, is
an exhibition of naked folly on stills. The
Kansas question, instead of being taken ont Of
national politics, is thrust inextricably into the
politics OF the nation for many years. The next
Congress will be elected on the English issue,
and the next Presidential campaign fought upon
it. The LecOmpton proposition will be over
whelmingIy repudiated by the people of Kansas;
and long before the meeting Of Congress on the
first Monday of December next, the Leaven-
worth Constitution, complete in all legal forms,
with the endorsement of a majority of, the peo-
pie of Kansas, will be ready to fling like an Or
SIM bomb into the CapitOl.-Cineinnati Com

The President is preparing to be guilty of an
other bIunder. The Washington correspondent
of the N. Y. Post, cd the 5th of May, says:
"Ths President is annoyed by the temper oil
the Northern press in relation to the passage Of
the Kansas bill. He assured one of his Demo
cratic friends, yesterday, that public attention
must be attracted away from Kansas, and to &C.
complish this, It would be necessary for him to
make bold stroke, and inaugurate a new poll
cy in relation to our foreign affairs, and partic-
ularly with reference to Spain. To this end,
the President is preparing message on Cuba,
Central America and Mexico"

The cONTRor OF KANSAS ELEcr1oNs.

Great and just indignation is felt Says the
washington Republic) at that part of the scheme
Of the Kansas conference, which places the con.
troll Of the election to be held IN Kansas, in the
hands Of the Presidents appointees. The Crit.
tenden amendment made board to manage the
election, divided politically two and two, the
Governor and Secretary on one side, and the
President Of the Council and the Speaker of the
House, on the other. The conference scheme
destroys all that was fair about the board, by
adding as fifth member, the United States At
toney for Kansas. This gives all power to the
President, three of the FIVE members of the
board holding office at his will and pleasure
Considering that the President has neither prin-
ciple to govern him, character to lose, nor even
sense and susceptibility enough to be ashamed
of anything, this is giving the people of Kansas
but a sorry chance. The man who could scarce
ly restrain himself from the immediate removal
of Gov. Walker, because he threw out the Ok
ford votes, is not the man to be trusted with the
control Of elections. 1fa.r- 70 we f..
The least that was due TO Kansas,-an over
whelming majority of whose people are opposed
to the present Acknowledgements a board
equsIly divided. This would. have been treat.
ing the minority in Kansas, not only with fair
ness, but with liberality. To have that minority
represented by a majority of the election board,
will be felt as peculiarly CALLING insult, and
viii greatly tend to impair confidence in results
This board win not merely receive, count, and
declare the votes, but will establish voting pre-
cincts, and appoint the judges of elections. EE-
erything is to, be under the control of board,
which is itself under the control of James Bu-
chanan.

giving in his adhesion to the English bill, said;
