raigned this morning, before Judge Coon, on
a charge of wlful and malicious injury to the
property of Peter Sullivan, on Jackson street.

Mary Blake, but was sold at constable's sale
to Sullivan for the sum of SAC, to hquidate a
judgment debt she owed sullivan obtained
possession of the premises, and yesterday Ma.

was trying t. break in a door, when Sullivan
prevented her and wrested the ak from her

Touching the subject of Kansas admis-

characterized by disinterested patriotism

entered into an elaborate argument in sup

GENTLE WORDS.

4 young rose in the summer time,
Is beautiful to me,
And glorious the many stars
That glimmor on the sea;
Bat gentle words and loving hearts,
And hands to clasp my own,
Are better than the brightest flowers,
Or stars that ever shone
The sun may warm the grass to life,
The dew the dropping flower,
And eyes grow bright and watch the light
Of autumn's opening hour:
But words that breathe Of tenderness,
And smiles we know are true.
Are warmer than the summer time,
And brighter than the dew.
1t is ret much the world can give,
With all its subtle art,
And gold or gems are not the things
To satisfy the heart.
But, 0, if those who cluster round
The altar and the hearth,
Have gentle words and loving smiles,
How beautiful is earth!
