Look before YOU Kick.

Look before you Kick.
A minister recently while on his way
to preach a funeral sermon in the coun-
try, called to see one of his members,
an old widow lady who lived near the
road he was travelling. The old lady
had just been making sausages, and
she felt proud Of thea they were so
plump, so round and sweet. Of course
she insisted on her minister taking some
Of the links home to his family. He
objected on account of not having his
portmanteau along. This objection was
soon overruled, and the old lady, after
wrapping them in rag, carefully plac-
ed bundle in either pocket Of the
preachers capacious coat. Thus equip
ped. he started for the funeral
While attending the solemn cere-
monies of the grave. some hungry dogs
scented the sausages and were not long
in tracking them to the pocket of the
good mans overcoat. OF course this
was great annoyance, and he was un-
der the necessity of kicking those
whelps away. The obsequies at the
grave completed, the minister and the
congregation then repaired to the church
where the funeral discourse was to be
preached.
After the sermon was finished the
ministed halted to make some remarks
to his congregation, when a brother.
who wished to have an appointment
given out, assembled the steps Of the
pulpit and gave the minister's Goa, a
stitch to get his attention. The divine
thinking it dog having design upon
his pocket, raised his foot, gave kick,
aud sent the good brother sprawling
down the steps.
''You will excuse me brotheren and
sisters!'' said the minister confusedly
and without looking at the work he had
just done "for / could not avoid it. l

VoIcE FOR PEAcE.-The efforts of selfish and
INSCRIPTIONS demagogues to distract aud divide
the Democratic party on an obsolete issue, meets
with the hearty reprobation of all good aud true
Democrats. We are pleased to observe that most
Of the leading Democratic papers of the State,
both Douglas and Administration, are for peace,
for healing all dissensions in the ranks of the
party, and re-unting the elements Of temporary
discordancr. Whether the Douglas or the Bu-
chanan side obtain the ascendancy in the State
convention, ii is expected that moderate and con-
ciliatory action will be had. The Kansas question
has been so much muddled and bet0gged, that
Democrats might reasonably differ with regard to
the proper policy to be pursued towards that
territory, and still be good Democrats. The
difference could not, in the very nature of the
case, be u permanent one because the question
was Of temporary character. Once settled,
either upon the Douglas policy, or the Buchanan
policy, or the English Compromise policy, it was
settled forever NarysVilIe Express.

CALLING NAMEs.-We are panied to see other
erwise excellent newspapers indulging in the Or
egonism of calling liars poltroons,' and such
like offensive epithet. The use of such language
in newspaper is no evidence of courage it is
generally used with great discrimination, and
where one of the parties is non-combatant, or too
far of to resent the insult during the heat of pas
sion. We have known parties to make free use
of insulting epithets in newspapers who after
wards took great pleasure in correcting the er-
ror, &c, and who, if menaced, would travel with
astonishing celebrity. But even in cases where
the EDITORS courage is equal to his disposition to
insult indulgence in coarse language betrays a
corresponding coarsencss of mental organization
1t may be often necessary for an editor to say
that observations of another are untrue, but he
should never insult the refinement of disinterest-
ed parties by bawling pot-house epithets where
they are compelled to hear. Words can be tor
tured into shapes thousand times more CALLING
to an enemy, and so arranged that their ingenui.
ty of construction will interest parties who have
no interest in the quarrel, but an Incorporate,
unreined word loses the case
For the credit of California journalism we hope
to hear of no more iars,' poltroons, towards,
and such like in respectable places.
