The "Danites" in Kansas.

The Westport correspondent Of The st.

There exists in Kansas Territory a branch
OF Norman Danites. They are principally
Mormons and Freeovers being compactly
organized, md having Influential members.
they rule the destnies and fix the policy OF
the free State party Of Kansas. They are
making use Of the inbred prejudices of peo-
pie from the free States to propagate thoir
neiarious doctrines aud accomplish their trea-
sonable and immoral designs. That such an
organization exists there can be but little
doubt, and that they are playing the despair.

CANDY AND PoIsos--A paper on " Color
ed Confectionery" was recently read before
the British Association at Montreal, from
which is condemned the following valuable
and novel information.
1t appears that, for economy's sake, con-
fectioners, in coloring their candies, &c have
recourse for their greens to Brunswick green,
carbonate Of COPPER, or arsenite of copper
for the yellows, to chromate of lead or gam
boge for the reds, TO red lead, yermillian, or
cinubar; and for their whites, to white lead.
These are only a few Of the pernicious agents
used, and they are among the deadliest OF
poisons. The way in which the poisons are
laid on also deserves a word OF passing re-
mark. In some instances very thin coating
Of colored matter is used, so as to spread
over very large surface small portion ol
the material used but in other cases the
very reverse is the fact, and in one instance
was procured from piece OF ornamental
table confectionery not the size OF sugar
almond quantity Of arsenite OF copper sui
fcient to destroy the life of healthy adult
Coufectioners have no reason TO use these
poisons, for there are harmless vegetable
colors enough to answer their purposes.

Lyman Beeeher's Courtship.

An eminent divine, who is as well known
as he is universally respected many years
since was led to the conclusion that " it il
not well for man to be alone" After con-
siderable pondering, ho resolved to offer him
self in marriage to certain member of his
flock. Il sooner was the resolution formed
that 1t was put in practice, and getting out
his cane, he speedily reached the dwelling OF
his mistress. 1t CHANGED to be on Monday
morning, day which many New England
readers ueed not be told is better known in
the house as washing day. Unconscious
OF the honor that was intended her, the lady
was standing behind the tub in the bnck,
kitchen, with her arms immersed in the suds,
busly engaged in an occupation, which, to
say the least Of il, is more useful than roma n

TIE ISFLuEScE OF TEMPER ON HARM
Excessive labor, exposure to wet and cold,
de eprivation of sufficient quantities of neces-
sary aud wholesome food, habitual bad lodg-
ing, slotb. aud intemperance. are all deadly
enemies to human life but they are none OF
them so bad as violent and ungoverned
passions. Men aud women have survived all
these, and at last reached an extreme old
age but it may be safely doubted whether
a single instance can be found Of man Of
violent and irascibe temper, habitually sub
ject to storms of ungoyernabls passion, who
has arrived at very advanced period OF life.
1t is therefore q matter OF the highest impor
tancs to every one DESTROYS OF preserving q

THE ANGEL OF PATIENCE.

By JOHN @. WHITTIER.
To weary hearts, to mourning homes
Gods meekest angel gently comesi
No power has he to Danish pain,
Or give US back our lost again
And yet, in tenderes. love, our deaf
And Heavenly Father sends hin here.
There's quiet in that angels glance
There's rest 10 bis still countenance
He mocks no grief with idle cheer,
Nor wounds with words the mourner's tear,
But ills and woes he may not cure,
He kindly trains us to endure.
Angel of Patience; sent to calm
Our feversh brow with cooling balm;
To lay the storms Of hope and fear,
And reconcile life's smile and tear;
And throbs of wounded pride to still,
And make US own our fathers will
Oh thou, who mournest on thy way
With longing for the close of day,
He walks with thee, that angel kind,
And gently whispers: "Be resignedi

NEGRO PULPIT ELoQUEEcE IN NEW
JERSEY.

1t was not many moons ago that the sable
sons and daughters Of Africa in this quiet city
by the Delaware, were stirred up to their dark
est depths by the expected advent of a dis
tinguished African pulpit orator from Pitts
hurgh. On the day appointed for the holding
forth, the pulpit stage, erected in a Druid-like
grove near the city, between two venerable
oaks, was crowded with the heralds of glad
tidings belonging to "de Messodist Piseopal
Church" Beneath and around it lay dark
ness, which, like that Of Egypt, might have
been "ielt, and may add, unlike it, smelt.-
After the opening prayer by venerable preach
er, upon whose black sconce, the white wool
lay in patches ike hoar frost, young athletic
negro, with 4 face shining like polished ebony,
and the crisp, short curl of the wool only to be
seen in the real Guinea breed, advanced to the
pulpit desk. He evidently felt that his fame
had gone before him. and he looked over that
duslyy mass, now hushed to admiring silence
at his presence The sable Chrysostom then
ann announced his text, which came forth sonorous
