THE PUBLIC CRIB.-Mr. Rives of the
Washington Globe, says: ~ don't be-
lieve in this feeding the poor from the
public crib. always noticed when we
used to feed the hogs from crib down
in Virginia, two or three big hogs got all
the corn and did well, and the rest got
lean, but they all stayed in the lane where
the corn was thrown, and never put their
noses to the ground to help themselves,
the whole winter But those that were
turned out, and not fed from the crib,
went off to the woods, and in the spring
were all as fat as butter, and their tails
curled so tight that they could hardly get
their hind legs on the ground. 1t is the
same with men as with pigs, if you want
them to succeed in life, make them root
for themselves, and not teach them to
depend on the public crib"

The Greenwood King.
A fairy sat with folded wing
Beneath pensil bough,
And by her side woody king,
With garlands on his brow;
And search the earth both far and wide,
Where blooms the rose of Spring,
You could not find as fair bride,
AS had that greenwood king.
The wild roses softest, richest hue,
Could never, never vie,
Nor heavens dearest, deepest blue,
With her soft cheek and eye;
No raven, with his plume of night,
With her long, silken hair,
Nor lilies in their silver white,
With her small neck compare.
Her glances were like starry beams,
Trembling upon wave,
Her smiles as mornings sweetest CLEANS,
Upon affections grave;
Her voice like some far distant bird,
When first it tries to sing,
And like lute-string family stirred,
Her silvery laugh would ring.
Upon her robe the pearly dew
Like costly jewels shone,
And flowers sprang to life, anew,
Beneath her studded zone;
While mid her tresses, dark as night,
And on her forehead fair,
She wore a crown of golden light,
Of sun-beams and of air.
Twas but little time to rest,
They sat beneath the tree,
Then won their way toward the west,
Ger sloping lawn and lea;
Till distance hid them from my sight,
Within its ether main,
And thus, they held their noiseless fight,
To fairy-land, again.

When She Died.
The low, soft winds were signing
At even, through the wood,
While she lay pale and dying,
The beautiful and good
Her golden tresses sleeping
Like sunbeams, on her brow;
Her bright eyes, dim with weeping,
Have lost their love-light now.
The sun was slowly sinking
Within the azure west,
And thirsty buds were drinking
The cool dew on each breast;
When, with her taper finger,
She pointed far on high,
Where sweetly seemed to linger,
Days last beam on the sky.
Around her lips was playing
A smile too sweet for earth,
And on her check, decaying,
rose OF purer OlftH
A semblance of those flowers,
Which bloom for aye above,
In Eden's holy bowers,
Mid happiness and love.
The golden orb had vanished,
And Day with it had fed,
For Night had gently banished,
Its smile from overhead;
And on the leaves was nesting
Sweet summers pearly dew,
While spirits, unseen, wrestling,
Sighed in the gloomy yew.
Twilight mildly fingered,
Like sadness DER the world,
While 1Eolus fingered,
The rose leaves upward curled,
Where, meath the damp leaves hiding,
The glow-worm shed its light,
And DER the blue sky gliding,
Were clouds of snowy white.
Bright starlets were instilling
A calm and silver light,
Through gloom and space unwilling,
Into the breast of night;
While far to eastward, smiling,
Calm, pensive, and serene,
The full moon was beguilin~
The quiet, happy scene.
Yet, still in tranquil slumbers,
Lay one forever dear,
Listing the angel numbers
That swept across her ear;
For spirit bands were singing
To her of home-sweet home;
Where fountains pure are springing,
And where the sinless roam.
And thus from weakness, doing,
Like flower she lay,
Whose fragile leaves were closing,
To ope another day;
For angels were seducing
Her spirit far above,
And Death was slowly loosing
The ties of early love.
Thus, while we thought she slumbered,
A calm aud happy sleep,
Her days on earth were numbered,
And We were left to weep;
For she had fed forever,
Despite our fearful love,
Where grief has wandered never,
To that sweet home above.

POstPOnement of Congressional
E1ectiOMS..The --latest Demo.
cratic Dodge.

Mr.. Langdon, of Hamilton has intro
duced a bill in the Senate to postpone the
election of members of Congress in this
State from the second Tuesday of October
1858, to the second Tuesday of October
1859. Under pretence Of securing the
election of members of Congress at the
latest possible moment preceding the
meeting ofthe Congress in which they act,
it is proposed to have Ohio without rep
resentative in Congress after the fourth of
March. The real object of the bill is doubt
less to stave off the election one year, in
order if possible to shield the Democratic
candidates in the districts now misrepre-
sented by Lecomptonites, and in the other
districts represented by Democrats, from
the just Indignation of the people now
smarting under the outrage of that party's
course in reference TO Kansas affairs. They
well know that political humiliation would
follow an immediate vote Of the people,
and therefore would gain time to wirc-work
and again hoodwink the masses. The bill
has probably passed the ordeal of the Dem
ocratic tin-pan, as several Intellectual at
tempts have been made to kill it in the
Senate. The bill is now in the hands of
the Committee on Privileges and Elections.

Legislative Items.

Columbus correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial writes on the 25th:
A very interesting and valuable bill re-
this morning, on its final passage. 1t was
the Reform School Bill, introduced by
Prof. Monroe, who three years ago met
with decided opposition in initiating this
matter. After great deal of labor he Sc
cured an appropriation of 81 900 in order
to send persons to learn more particular
ly the operations of this system. This is
great triumph, and reflects honor on the
perseverance of the author of the bill, who
is SO useful and industrious member of
the Legislature.
The Gazette correspondent says:
Two bills by Mr.. Harrison have passed
-one to amend the 3Oth section of the
Civil Code, and another providing for tie
sale of partnership property on execution,
which was afterwards reconsidered and re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee. 1t twill
probably never be reported back-but, if
it does come again before the House, it
will be defeated.
The Dealers letter of the 25th says:
Mr.. Parsons presented a host ofpetitions
to the House to-day demonstrating against
the proposed dismemberment of the city of
Cleveland. Among tie signers of these re-
monstranees are the names of a number
who signed the petition for dismemberment
under a misapprehension as to its true char
acter-it having been represented to them
as merely petition for reducing taxation.

Treson 10 the Union.

The editor of the New Orleans Delta,
the democratic organ of the fire eating
Southern wing Of the Administration,
ought to wear hempen cravat sleeping
and waking. He boasts in the Delta OF
the 9th ult, that South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas
are bound to resist to dissolution of the
Union the refusal to admit State or Ter
ritory because of the existance of slavery
within its borders and reasonably adds:
The non-admission of Kansas with the
Lecompton Constitution will be signal for
the uprising of the South. A great prin-
ciple is at stake. Ifthe Lecompton Con-
slitution is sent back to the people of Kan
sas, or the Enabling Act of Douglas pass
ed, it will be conclusive proof that no Slave
States will ever be admitted into this con-
federacy. Then let the confederacy be
rent in twain, for Union that cannot pro-
tect the rights and institutions of the South,
is not worth preservation for n single mo-
nent. We know that the South is not
without enemies at home-politi, ians, who
disregarding their duties, follow party as
lazy plunderers follow an invading army
These place hunting cormorants must be
set aside, for Sparta has better men than
they. 1t is madness to cling to politicians.
to breed their so called conservatism, and
their fallacious promises of better days
ahead. The battle is now for supremacy.
The North is determined. if it can, TO force
upon US a system of government which
will render us tributary to its power, to di-
cate to us laws, TO build up its cities, its
merchants and its manufacturers by plan
of bold, audacious robbery.
The South can not take step backward
without dishonor, neither can it remain in
active. 1t must go forward even to seces-
sion, revolution. The former is more des-
irable; but if the latter is forced upon us
there is no grander sound on the face of
this earth, to the ears of freemen, than
the grand rythmical march of determined
men. In either event, great nation, amid
the convulsive threes of the times, will be
born-a self reliant, self sustained great
national individuality.

Legislative Summary.

The Senate, yesterday, was chiefly Occu-
ped in the discussion, in Committee of the
Whole, of the bill introduced by Mr.. Kin
caid, to prevent further emigration of
black or mulatto persons into this State.
In the House an unusually large number
of bills were read the third time and laid
on the table, but owing to the want OF Il
full attendance none were put upon their
final passage.-Statesman, 24h ult.
In the Senate yesterday, the House bill
of Mr.. Clarke, to regulate the admission
and practice of Attorneys-at-Law, was, af-
ter discussion, SO amended as to- strike out
the provision which permitted. those who
have declared their intention to become cit
liens, to practice in the Courts Of the State,
and the bill as amended was referred to
the Judiciary Committee. A resolution
was adopted authorizing an examination
into the value and suitableness of the prop
erty proposed to be applied to the use Of
the State for the purposes of State Nor
NAL School. The bill regulating marriages
underwent discussion, but no final action.
Several House bills took their second read
ing.
In the House, the bill amending Sec
tions 53l and 532 of the civil code; the
bill SO amending a former law as to pro-
vide for the printing of Reform School Re-
ports; and the bill amending sections 543
and 546 of the civil CODE were pass
ed. A bill amending the tax law Of April
l3, 1852, and a bill amendatory Of section
lS of the Grimes Act were defeated on
their final passage. The following were
indefinitely postponed, to wit: The bill to
provide for the appraisement of personal
property sold onjudgments and executions
at law; to regulate the sale Of stone-coal
by weight; a bill amendatory to the act

The Frauds i'm Kansas.

The investigating commission to inquire
into the election frauds in Kansas, are
proceeding with their work. The Law
renee correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga.
zette says that they sat through the whole
of Saturday night. He says:
DR.. Sabin, Of Brownville, Kansas, re-
liable gentleman, was one of the witnesses
examined. He testified that about two
weeks before the 4th of January, he was
in the Virginia Hotel, Jefferson City, No.
and there overheard conversation between
Gov. Stewart of Mo-, and Frank Marshall
of Kansas. Stewart assured Marshall that
arrangements had been perfected by which
several hundred voters were to be sent one,
into the border precincts, to participate an
tile election. He gave the full details OF
the localities and numbers.
MORE DEVELOPMENTS OF BORDER RUFFIAN-
ISM.
The Sergeants- alarms of the commits
sion had just returned from johnson coun-
ty with four persons who were implicated,
directly or Indirectly, in the enormous
frauds of the 4th of January election.
Shawnee precinct, as you will renem-
Der, returned over nine hundred $500
votes. c. c. Godfray, one of lie clerks
of election there, was examined under oath.
After some hesitation, he finally gave a
full history of the affair.
He swore that there were but about one
hundred and sixty-three honest votes poll
ed. The polls closed at 9 o'clock, P. M.
Early the next morning be and the other
clerk went over to Westport, Mo-, and
there, in Col. Boon's store, added several
hundred names to those of the bona tfde
voters. The names were read to them
from some list, by son of Rev. "Tom
Johnson and other pro slavery men. The
Judges certificates (which had been made
out on seperate sheets of paper,) were
pasted on at the foot of these bogus re-
turns, and they were then sent to Calhoun.
Col. Danforih Of Westport, (who is known
to have acted under instructions from Cal
houn, and was also connected with the
frauds in the other precincts,) was the
instigator and director of the swindle.
The judges corroborated this testimony
fully, aud swore that several hundred names
had been added to the returns, after the
polls were closed and they had made out
their certificates.
AS these witnesses gave their testimony
under the direct promise that they shold be
protected back to their homes, they were
sent back quietly, early yesterday morn
ing. They will of course flee to Missouri.
The Spring Hill returns showed a free
state majority. The pro slavery messen-
ger by whom they were sent in, never de-
livered them, and now swears that he lost
them on tie way.

she was aware of the cause Of her husbands
absence. She was entirely ignorant on

was suddenly called from town the evening
previous upon important business, and
would be back in day or two. She was
