THE FATHER Is COMING.
BY MARY Howrrr.


The clock is ON the stroke Of six,
The fathers work is done;
Sweep up the hearth and mend the fire,
And put the kettle onl
The wild nightwind is Blowing cold,
IT'S dreary crossing o er the void.
He's crossing DER the void apace,
He's stronger than the storm;
He does not feel the cold, not he,
His heart il is so warm;
For fathers heart is stout and true
As ever human bosom knewl
He makes all toll, all hardship, Light
Would all men were the same,
So ready to be pleased, SO kind,
So very slow to blame
Folks need not be unkind, austere,
For love hath reader will than fearl
Stay, do not close the shutter, child,
For far along the lane
The little window looks and he
Can see it shining plain;
I've heard him say he loves to mark
The cheerful freight through the dark.
And we'll do all that father likes
His wishes are so few
Would they were more that every hour
Some wish of his knew!
Pm sure it makes happy day
When can please him any way!
II know he's coming by this sign
That baby's almost wild;
See how he laughs, and crows, and stares,
Heaven bless the merry child
He's fathers self in face and limb,
And fathers heart is strong in him
Hank bark hear his footsteps now
He's through the garden gate;
Run little Bess and ope the door,
And do not let himw wait!
Shout, baby, shout and clap thy hand,
For father on the threshold stands.

WISE COUNTY.

A public meeting was held in Lawrence
few nights ago which was addressed by
Secretary Stanton, G. w Smith, 7. Ewing
Jr., and Judge Wright. Stanton made an
eloquent speech against the English bill,
which was well received. Judge Smith
spoke in favor OF it. He is Governor un-
der the Lecompton bastard, and he knows
that unless it is accepted by the people of
Kanzas, he will never be their Governor
Anything but a Northern dough-face.-
Smith should be appointed to the Land of
fee. or receive some other appointment as a
reward for his services. 7. Ewing, Jr.
made an eloquent speech against the bribe.
So did Judge Wright and Gov. Robinson.
Such men as Smith are as chaff before the
stern resolve of the people. Down with
Lecompton, is the cry. and they viii vote it
down.

sad and Fatal Afray.

On Thursday, the Sd inst, an affair oc-
Cured in Lawrence between J. II. Lane
and Gaius Jenkins, both men of some prom
inenee In Kanzas, which resulted in the
death of the latter. The accounts. which we
have received of the affair are not sufficient
ly reliable to justify us in publishing the
particulars, but the main facts are these
A contest for claim adjoining Lawrence,
was pending between the parties. who were
both occupying it. Near the house occu-
pied by Mr.. Lane, and within the yard
around the building was well which
Jenkins had dug. Mr.. jenkins had been
accustomed to using water from the same.
A few days previous to the difficulty, Mr..
Lane had given notice to Mr.. Jenkins that
he could not get water from the well any
longer. On Thursday, the Sd inst, Mr.,
Jenkins started from his house for the well
with an Ak in his hand, yowing that he
would have water. He was accompanied
by his nephew and two men in his employ,
all armed. As Mr.. Jenkins approached the
yard, Mr.. Lane came out of his house un-
onto the premises. Jenkins came on, and
with his ak broke down the gate to the yard
when Lane retreated to the house and i'm
mediately came out with a shot gun in his
hand. An alteration ensued, when Lane
raised his gun, took aim and fred-the
charge taking effect in Mr.. Jenkirs' breast
and killing him Immediately. AS soon as
Lane had fired two of the men who had ac-
companied Jenkins fired at Lane, one of the
balls taking effect in the leg below the knee,
and the other grazing his temple.
The affair created the most intense ex-
element in Lawrence. Lanes political en-.
enies, Robinson, EldrIdge, and others, were
loud in their denunciations, and tried to gel
up mob to hang him. But better feel
ing prevailed. A warrant was issued by
Justice Ladd for the arrest of Lane. His
physicians deciding that it was dangerou:
to remove him, the examination was post
poned a few days. His wound will moi
prove serious. Jenkins was buried on the
Sunday following. A large concourse o.
citizens attended the funeral.
1t is altogether probable that the real cir
cumstances of the case will justify Mr..
Lane before a court of justice. But his
morol justification is not so sure. The
rules of legal action and moral action differ
widely in many cases.
Mr.. Jenkins was good citizen, and had
many warm friends. His death will create
profound grief in the community. Alto
gether the affair was sad one-such one
as we are not often called upon to record

The Election on the Lecompton Con-
stftufion---Time Fixed.

a meeting of the Board of Election Com
nissioners under the English Bill was held
at Lecompton few days since. at which the
time fof holding the election on the Lecompton
Ordinance was fixed for the first Monday of
August next. Mr.. Davis, who has been
appointed to the Office of District Attorney
for Kanzss in the place of Mr.. Weer, not
having received his commission, Mr.. Weer
took his seat as member of the Board of
Commissioners. Mr.. Weer is DougIasite
and opposed to Leeompton, and co-operated
with Messrs Deitzler and Babcock, the Free
State members These three would consti-
tute quorum, and the Governor and Sec
retary were powerless. The English bill
fixes the qualifications of voters as follows:
"That in the election hereby authorized. all
white mere Hh habitants of said Territory,
over t5g 'f-sef 91 years, who possess the
quali6catiot5 which were required by the
laws of said Territory for legal voter at
the last general election for members of the
Territorial Legislature, and none others shall
be allowed to vote" The qualifications for
voters at the last election for members Of the
Territorial Legislature, were as follows -
'.Every bona tide inhabitant of the Terrific
ry of Kanzas, being citizen of the United
States over the age of twenty-one years,
who shall have resided six months in said
Territory before the next general election for
members of the Council and House of Rep
resentatives, and no other person whatever,
shall be entitled to Vote,o etc.
The next general election for members oi
the Territorial Legislature will take place
on the first Monday of October next; and
all who are residents of the Territory six
months previous to that time-say by the
first of April-are qualified voters. This
will give us small portion of our spring
emigration, which viii all vote against the
swindle.
The Judges of election and places of hold
ing the same have not yet been determined
BY the Board of Commissioners.
Let every citizen of Kanzas remember
that on the first Monday in August he will
have an opportunity of recording his vote
against the Lecompton Constitution; and
let him see that his vote is not wanting.
