WYandoit.

The "hard times" have formally taken
their departure from Wyandott. Money
is seeking investment here and business
moves on as it did before "the crisis. y
The wholesale trade of our merchants is
already immense, considering the age oI
our town, and is daily increasing. When
the Southern road (now rapidly progress
ing) is finished, we have the key to all
Southern and Western Kansas. In four
teen months Wyandott has run up from
nothing to two thousand FIVE hundred In
habitants. When our city is two years
old, our population will crowd five thous-
and. The improvements already under
contract win, when completed, give Wy
andott the business facilities which her
increasing trade demands, and will speak
our citizens worthy of the uneqnallsd geo.
graphical position which Wyandott occu-
pies. No where can more enterprising
citizens be found than here, and no where
is enterprise so richly rewarded.
Upwards of fifty buildings are now in
process of erection, or under contract,
among them two splendid four story brick
blocks, which will excel in beauty and
business capacity any thing this side oi
st. Louis. II any town in Kansas can
show greater amount Of substantial pro-
gression, we would be glad to have the
facts noted, as further stimulous to ON
inhabitants, who have determined that

AN ApPEAL FOR MopERATIos.

On this subject, and on many others, it
seems to me that it becomes US, of all the
citizens Of this great Republic, TO set to
cur fellow-citizens examples of modera-
ton and Cancellation. What good does
the mutual charge of aggression, often
dercely repeated7 What good do these
invectives of one against another? Espe-
cially let me say to my friends of the
North, why indulge in invectives of the
most repEoaehful character upon those
who in fourteen or fifteen States of this
great country, are shareholders? Does
that give you any cause to traduce them?
Cannot you live content with the institu-
ton which pleases You better, and leave
these fellow-citizens, who have Just the
same right to adopt slavery that you have
your institutions, to enjoy their liberty in
peace also. Is there ANYTHING in the diff

HIS POSITION DEFINED.


Sir, feel that have already occupied
great deal of your time-more than
expected to do; and yet there are some
general topics upon which I wish to say
something, though not so Immediately
connected with the direct question before
us.
Mr.. President, I am, according to the
denominations now usually employed by
parties in this country, southern man.
I have lived all my life in a southern
State. have been accustomed from nv
childhood to that form ofsociety ofwhich
slavery forms part. I am, so far as
regards the necessary defence of the
rights of the South, as prompt and
as ready to defend them as any man the
wide South can hold; but in the same
resolute and determined spirit in which
would put my foot as he who went fur
thest, l will concede to Others their rights,
and will maintain and defend them
With the same feeling which I know
would defend my own rights, will respect
theirs. I never expected Kansas to be a
slave State.
I believe that those at the South who
expect ii, would be deluded. There was
some vague hope that when the Missouri
compromise line was taken away and
abolished, slavery might be extended in
that direction, but did not believe it.
believed that the Missouri compromise
line fixed in 1920, was about that Terri
torial line, north of which slavery could
not exist, would not be pruftably en-
ployed; and our experience since has
shown that the wise men who made that
compromise judged rightly. We have
no instance in which it has been found
profitable anywhere there. believe that
the idea of making Kansas Slave State
was a delusion to the South, that her
hopes would never be realized, if she
entertained such hope as that. I thought,
therefore, it would have been better, with
cut examining scrupulously into its con-
stitutionality, to let the Missouri eompro-
mise stand. I regretted Its repeal. did
not believe the South would gain any
thing by it, or that the North would gain
anything by it.

do not undertake to defend this peo-
pie for their conduct. It is not my pari
nor my povincs. Ishould agree. perhaps,
with the President that much of their
conduct had been of q disputable, disor-
derly and seditious character. It may Be
that it deserves the epithet Of rebellion, .
which the President applies to it have
nothing to do with that. I am not their
advocate. I have disapproyed of thsil
conduct in many instances. There sre
many bad men among them, as believe,
but for that the law assigns its proper
punishment The majority of the people
have their political rights, that remain,
notwithstanding their legal offences. Its

CONTROLLING HER TEMPER. The husband of
lady OF fiery temper says that before their
marriage he was warned of her fiery disposi lion,
and to test the accuracy of the information, one
day, as he sat next to her at dinner, he managed
cleverly to jog the servants elbow, as plate of
mock turtle soup was offered her, which OF
course was upset over the young lady's white
dress of tull lace. No complaint nor even IA
frown being cvinced, the delighted suitor con-
cluded that what he had heard was a mistake,
and the marriage took place but soon the
ady's real character displayed itself as is always
the case after marriage, but never before, and S
wife, like hnman Strombol was subject to
fiery eruptlOns every ten minutes upon an
average. How is it, nv dear" said the happy
husband, "that having such bad temper, you

BECAUSE I'm TwENTy-FIvE.

How wondrous strange has been the chang
Since was in my teens;
then had bsaux and billet doux,
And Joined the gayest scenes.
But lovers now, have ceased to vow,
No way they now oontrive
To poison, drown, or hang themselves,
Because-I'm twenty-five.
Once, IL the night was e'er so bright,
Ine'er abroad could roam,
Without the bliss: "the honor, Miss,
OF seeing you safe home"
But now | 60, through rain and snow,
Alone and scarce alive,
Through all the dark, without spark,
la Because-Tm twenty-five.
They used to call. and ask me all
About my health, so frail,
And thought ride would help my side,
And make my cheek less pale.
But now. alas! if am i'll,
None care that revive,
And my pale cheek, in vain may speak,
Because-rm twenty-five.
Now, If ride improves my side,
I'm forced to take the etage,
For that is deemed quite good enough
For person of my age.
And then no hand is offered me,
To help me out alive;
They think 'twont hurt me now to fall,
Because-I'm twenty-five.
o dear, tits queer, that every year,
I'm sighted more and more,
For not beauX pretends to show
His head within my door
% No ride, no card. nor soft ad dress,
My spirits now revive,
And one miget just as well be dead,
As say-Tm over twenty-five.

Mary in Heaven.

In reading daily paper, not long ago. we
noticed an allusion to a concert which was to
be given by Mr.. Dsmpster, so celebrated as a
singer of some Of the Scotch ballads. The wish
was expressed that the vocalist would favor his
audience with the song entitled" Mary In
Heaven" referring, as we suppose, to that witt
ten by Burns, commencing
"Thou lin'ring star with lessning ray,
That lov'st to greet the early morn,
Again thou usher'st in the day
My Mary from my soul was torn"
After laying aside the paper, we could scarce
]y keep from repeating the words, " Mary in
Heaven" and it awakened peculiar train Of re-
fection. Burns undoubt ady had reference to a
specifc person, dear friend OF his who bore
that name aud had departed. But she was not
knowu to any of your readers perhaps not TO
any person now living There is, however,
sweetness in these words, and they are very sug-
gestive of thoughts, dear to many heart
Mary in Heaven! How m4ny who were once
called by that name on earth, are now among
the redeemed? " ere they all collected in any
part of the heavenly world what an interesting
company would they te how sweet the sony
of praise which they pour forth, and how
tender and strong the love they bear to their
Redeemer! The matron, the maid, the child,
the infant, would be there, and among them
"Mary. the mother of Jesus" Probably more
of that name have gone to heaven than OF

increasing. Of the thousands who read your
paper, is there o e who has not known some
Mary in Heaven? We can, for ourselves, re-
call more than score OF them, without going
beyond the circle of those we dearly loved, and
many OF hers can do the same, we presume.
Mary in Heaven To how many families
these words have significance which no lam
guage can describe! They once had Mary
among them, loved, loving and pure. But now
she is theirs no longer. Ay, aud to how many
an individual have these words still sgnif-
cant meanng-like that which Burns gave to
them Each of them Ind Mary once to

A NOBLE ACHIEVEMENT OF SURGERY,
before yesterday child l6 or is months OF a
German lady, living at No 60 Columbus street,
while playing on thr floor with all sorts Of but
tons and beans unfortunately swallowed a
coffee berry which lodged in The wndpipe (the
Larynx the Doctors callit) and was immediate
ly seized with the most heart-rendng struggle
for breath All efforts to remove the obstruc-
ton TO brea thing were in vain. The child grew
black and blue in the face, and weaker and
weaker until life seemed to be extinct In such
condition the little sufferer was found by Prot.
Webber, who lost no time in placing the child
upon table for operation. He opened the
windpipe and extracted the berry and behold
respiration commenced again, the livid coun-
tenancegradually changed to more natural
red, and at last the little fellow opened his
eyes to the great JOY of the parents aud graft
fcation OF the operator. The child is now
out of danger. This is truly a victory of sur
gerry, and one mankind can be proud of.
Let this be warning to mothers who with
careless indulgence give every thing in the way
OF eatables and pOrtables to their chillren only
to keep them from crying. Herald.
