How TO Punish Rebels.

The enthusiastic ffrlenGS OF ''LecOmp-
ton," argue for It's admission, on the al
legged ground that The opponents of that
Constitution in Kansas are al! a set of in
snrgents and rebels. If so, twelve thou.
sand ofthe legal voters of that God forsa-
ken Territory are rebels, while but two
thousand are peaceable and peace-loving
patriots. Now, with the common mind,
this anomalous state of things would be
the strongest reason for delaying admis-
sion until this alarming insurrection was
completely suppressed. It does not strike
us very forcibly as a safe thing to bring in
a new Stale, while so many of lis inhab
itance are in a lawless attitude. Tn old
times, it would have been considered as
holding out bribe for disorder and insub-
ordination. A. least, so it appears to us,
But in these days Of new inventions. it is
the march Of improvement. l. may be all
right. But. If Forcing lagless communi-
iy into the Union is the right way to pun
ish SO great arebellion, let us extend the
rule TO another equally fragrant case.
So is Utah in rebellion. Her people
have waged open war upon The Federal au-
thority Her whole population defy the
(toyerRment, end have raised The stand
ard Of Territorial Independence. Now. if
forcible admission is the right punishment
for the twelve thousand rebels in Kansas,
the reason is much greater for forcing in
Utah rs State. Let some dlsinterested
Democratic statesman make constitution
for Utah-refusing its submission to the
people, for fear they might vote it down
ouly let it be republican Sin form" of
course-and get Congres IS to admit the in
surreclionary people of Utah straightway!
Give her two Senator's. three or four Rep
resentatives, and declare her State.
Don't you see how smoothly the thing
would work: how nice it would fit the Gin
cinnati Platform and the Nebraska bill.
and how admirably it would at once re-
buke the rebels, and quiet the rebellion!
Now we regard this suggestion as great
discovery, but we shall not take out a pat
ent, for the idea is NOT ours originally

Whar Farmers should Live
ENnn

There is something worth living for be-
sides money. That is very good. butit is
not all. With the rest let us raise a crop
of good ideas. While you are farmers. re-
member also that you are men. with duties
and responsibilities. Live down the old
brutal notion that farmer must be un-
couth, une1ucated and unthinkiug--a mere
ploddrapps. You are brought into imme-
diaie contact with the great heart of civil
cation. You cannot get out of the buzz of
the toiling world. The thrill Of the won
derworkiug wires, and the rumble of the
locomotive, the thunder tread of nationsy
come to jour once secluded hiil side.--
Move toward better lie. Do not keep
your boys cOrnshelliDg oil the long winter
evenings Make your farms place that
your sons and daughters cannot help low
ing Cultivate the trees--they are Gods
Messengers.
Care much for books and pictures. Don't
keep solemn rarlor into which you 60
bat once month with the parson, or gos-
sips Of the sewing society. Hang around
your walls pictures which shall tell stories
of mercy. hope. courage. faith and charity

most cheerful in the house. Let the place
be such that when your boy has gone to
distant lands or even perhaps. he clings to
a single plank in the lonely waters of the
vide ocean, the thought of the old home
stead shall come across The waters of DESC
latiOn, bringing always light, hOps and
love.
Have no dungeons sbou. your house, no
rooms you never open, no tlinds that are
always shut. Don't teach your daughters
French before they can weed flower bed
or cling to aide-saddlc; and daughters,
do not be ashamed of the trowel or the
pruning knife; bring to your doors the
richest flowers from the woods; cultivate
the friendship of birds--study Botany.
learn to love nature, and seek higher
cultivation than the fashionable world can

TEMPERANCE Story.

Joe Harris was whole -souled merry fel-
low, and very fond of "a glass. After living
in New Orleans. many years, he came to
the conclusion of visiting an uncle in Mas
sachuset,s, whom he had not seen for many
years. Now, there is a difference between
New Orleans and Massachusetts, in regard
to the use of ardent spirits, and VIXEN Joe
arrived, he found the people running mad
about temperance; he felt bad, thinking,
withs the old song, that keeping the spirits
up by pouring spirits down, was one Of the
best ways TO make time pass. and began to
fear indeed, that he was in pickle. But
on the morning afier his arrival the old la
dy came TO him and said
Joe. you have been living at the south,
and. no doubt, are in the habit of taking
something to drink about eleven o'clock :
Now, keep some for medical purpos es,
but let no one know it. as my husband
wishes to set the boys good example,
Joe promised, and thinking he should
get no more that day took, as he expressed
it. a buster
After he had walked out to the stable,
who should he meet but his uncle.
We'll, Joe,' says he, Il expect you are
accustomed to drinking in New Orleans,
but you find us temperance men here, and
for the sake of my sons, don't let them
know have any brandy; but l keep lit
tie for my rheumatism; will you take
some? $50 y es.-'
Joe signifed his consent, and took anoth
er good horn. Then colinuing his walk. he
came to where the boys were hauling rails.
After conversing time, one of his cousins
said '"s'9"
Joe, expect you would like to have
something to drink, and as our folks are
down on liquor, we keep some here to help
US along with our work. .s
Out come the bottle, and down they sat,
and he said by the time he went to dinner
he was as tight as he could well be, and all
from visiting temperance family.

Another John Dean Affair.

The Janesville (Wis. Standard thus re-
ports the marriage ofa romantic damsel
from Boston to an ardent Irishman of the
neighborhood Of GAINESVILLE. The Stand
ard says:
We have the particulars Of a matrimo-
nial affair, occurring few miles from

to take up some of its old symptoms and

Pipes of the misty moorland,
Voice of the glen and hill,

The song of the lowland roll.
Not the braes of broom and heather,
Nor the mountains da-k with rain,
Nor maiden bower, nor border tower,
Have heard your sweetest strain!
Dear to the lowland reaper,
And dpIaided mountaineer,
To the cottage and the castle
The Scottish pipes are dear.
Sweet sounds the ancient pibroch
Der mountain, loch and glade;
But the sweetest of all music

Louder yelled, and nearer crept;
Round and round The jungle serpent
Near and nearer circles swept.

Pray today the soldier said,

Filled the pauses of their prayer.

With her ear upon the ground:

flushed the wounded man his groaning;
flushed the wife her little ones;

a EgIO0dEeSS EeUeE.

A duel was Tough. at Pittsburgh on
Friday evening, heparties being Wood
street merchant and steamboat captain,
between whom difficulty occurred while
engaged in game of billiards. A chal
lellge passed and was accepted. The Post
of Monday gives The conclusion Of the affair
as follows:
The appointed hour beheld the two
antagonists standing ten PAGES apart,
IN their shirt sleeves, pistols in hand. At
the words, zone, two, three, turn and
fire." they wheeled around and fired to-
gether, but neither fell. The pistols were
then reloaded, the word again given, and
the parties fired. This time the fire was
more decisive, for the Steamboat captain
was seen to stagger and fall backward.
The merchant stepped towards him, and
seeing the blood streaming down, sought
safety in flight. He seized his garments
and made for the fence, but was Intercept
ed by spectator. He then went back to
the fatal spot, and, with his second, drove

Office and give himself up; but he did not
find the Mayor at his office. He expressed
penitence for the act, and it was not until
Saturday morning that he was informed
that he had been hoaxed, that the pistols
were loaded without "cold lead," and that
the blood was only red fluid prepared for
the OCCASION.
The matter had been arranged by the
seconds and the captain, and, in accord
ance with the programme, he fell to the
earth, leading his adversary to believe that
he had killed him. The merchant was not
the only party sold; two or three specta-
tors left the ground with a powerful i'm
preston that a man had been killed, and a
gentleman of this city went to the Mayors
Office and requested the Mayor to send out
officers to stop the bloodshed.
