KANSAS IN THE HousE.--The democratic Ohio del
egation in the House yesterday voted unanimously
in favor of the conference bill of Mr.. English. We
cannot too earnestly express our qualification at this
auspicious token of future harmony in the ranks
of the democracy This vote 10 sngularly expressive
in connection with the remarks of the venerable Mr.
Giddings, who sought to impeach the anti-Lecomp-
ton of bad faith towards the republicans in ref
erence to the affairs Of Kansas and it proves that
motives Of patriotism, and a sincere desire on the
part Messrs Cox Groesbeck Lawrence, and others,
to promote future concord in the democratic party,
were the considerations thathave influenced those gen
tlemcn in the managementof this pcrplexing subject.
We hail this sign of coming harmony with unmin

A SEASONABLE APPEAL.

The pointed, timely, and eminently practical re-
marks of Mr.. Keitt in the House yesterday, in the
course of the debate which followed the motion of
Mr.. Garnett to postpone the taking the vote the
Kansas conference bill until the second Monday in
May, not only rivetted the attention of the unusual
y crowded galleries, but we are disposed to believe
produced salutary influence in quarter where
such influence il most needed. In crisis like the
one through which arc now passing, il is to the
energetic action wise counsels, and conservative
appeals Of such men az Mr. Keitt has ranged him
self with with such graceful zeal, that we must look
for safety and ultimate success. Il

CREDIr.-Credit is one of the best
things man has devised, and about The
worst abused. Thousands live on credit
who have no right to any such thing
None but an honest man ought to be
able to pass his word instead of coin-a
rogue's word is not worth its face, no
matter how rich he may be. No one
should have facility to run in debt for
the means of ostentatious display, of
sensual qualification or of hazardous ad-
venture. Earn before you spend"
should be the general rule, the credit
should be extended mainly to those who
use it to ft themselves with the means
and implements of useful, productive Ia
bor.--H. Greeley.

MANLINEss.-Learn fren the earliest
days to issue your principles against The
peril of ridicule. You can no more ex-
ercise your reason, if you live in perfect
dread Of laughter, than you can enjoy
your life, if you live in the constant ter
ror of death. If you think it right to
differ from the times, and to make point
of morals, doit, however rustic, however
aniiquated, however pedantie it may ap-
pear, do it, not for insolence, but serious
ly and grandly-as a man who wore
soul of his own in his bosom, and did
not wait til it was breathed into him BY
The breath of fashion.

hope 10 make perfect chain when half
the links are wanting. If you still think
the teacher is in fault, visit the school,
not once in Whole year, and no more, but
often. Make yourself acquainted with
the method in which the school is con-
Quoted, and show 10 the scholars that you
are interested in their welfare; and TO the
teacher that he has your sympathies and
best wishes 10 cheer him in the perform
ance of his arduous duties. Look around
and see who those are that are most apt 10
complain, and tell that the school is good
for nothing, and you viii find that they
are those who never visit the school, or
show that they have the least sympathy
or interest for il, and who will suffer the
most triiiing thing to be sufficient excuse
for keeping their children at home, per-
haps one day every week, or even often
er, thereby imposing upon the teacher,
and infiicting lasting injury upon every
class with which their children are con-
nected. 1t was a parent of this descrip-
tion, that asked, not many weeks since,
OF one of Inc firm supporters of the scheol,
if ne "dii not think the school was a
humbug9 for" said he, "my girl does
not learn any," when on examining the
teachers register, ii was ascertained that
during a session of fifteen weeks, she had
attended school about five, and that at
intervals, having from one 10 three weeks
between. Is it just. is it honest, | ask,
for parent to censure the teacher be-
cause children do not learn, when such a
course is pursued with them.
In conclusion, let me add, if you wish
10 see your children educated, if you
wish to fortify them against the tide of
ignorance and degradation which is ever
ready TO engulph' its victims. not only
must you employ good teachers TO work,
but you must work with them. A word
here, and word there, and instead of
wasting all your day and night dreams
in devising means to deck their short
lived, perishable bodies, bend all your eff
forts to beautify the mind with those inn
perishable ornaments which will shine
brighter and brighter through the ceas.

A singular trial is about to take place
in Lombardy. A wealthy man of that
section lately died who possessed two
pictures by Rubens-one the portrait of
a woman, the other zodiac-two pic
lures of high merit, and well known in
the country to which they belonged
When the priest arrived to confess the
dying man, he demanded to see the pic
lures of Rubens. They were shown him;
he declared them indecent, because they
were nude figures of women, and refused
absolution to the moribund unless he
gave orders for the burning of the pic
tgres. He was obeyed, was absolved
aud died. Now the son and heir to the es-
tate has brought suit against the confess
or for having abused the mind of the dy
ing man, and diminished the value ofthe
succession $4,000 francs. Such a pro-
cess, if intelligently conducted and plead
ed, will be of immense value as a prece-
dent.-N 7. Times.

PERPETUAL SUNSHINE.

Bayard Taylor, who last summer
made journey to the North Cape, wri-
ting from Hammerfest, Finmark, to the
New York Tribune, his impressions Of
the continuous polar daylight of the Arc
tic latitudes, says:
81 am tired of this unending daylight,
and would willingly exchange the pOmp
of the Arctic midnight for the starlit
darkness OF home. We are confused by
the loss of night; we lose the perception
of time. One is never sleepy, but sim
ply tired, and after sleep of eight hours
by sunshine, wakes up as tired as ever.
His sleep at last is broken and irregular;
he substitutes number of short maps,
distributed through and finally gets into
a state of general uneasiness and discom.
fort. A Hammerfest merchant, who
has made frequent voyages to Spitzber-
gen, told me that in the latitude of eighty
degrees, he never knew certainly wheth-
er it was day or night, and the cook was
the only person on board who could tell
him.
At first the nocturnal sunshine strikes
you as being wonderfully convenient
You lose nothing of th e scenery; you
can read and write as usual; you never
need be in hurry, because there is
time enough for everything. 1t is not
necessary 10 do your days work in the
daytime, for no night cometh. You
are never belated; somewhat of the stress
of life is lifted from your shoulders
But, after time, you would be glad of
an excuse TO stop seeing and observing
and thinking, and even enjoying, There
is no compulsive rest, such as darkness
brings-no sweet isolation, which is the
best refresbment of sleep. You lie down
in the broad day, and the summons
"arise!" attends on re opening your eyes.
We presume this everlasting sunshine
tires the traveller just as sitting in an ca
sy chair might fatigue one at home, or
as lazy man might tire of lying in bed
for forty eight hours. 1t also hints at the
fact that perpetual prosperity is not good |
for fallen humanity. To bring out in
iividuality, strong and clear, the dark
ness of adversely must bring out the
shadows as well as the lights of ones
mental countenance.

CAT EvENTIDE THERE SHALL BE

Most lives have shadows never understood,
Dark corners where no friendly CLEAN can come,
Dim secrets of bright youth. long past;
OH courage, sinking heart, remember yet
For you sat eventide there shall be ligktr'
Light to the captive in the darkest cell,
Where weary years have Jagged unnoticed by,
Unmarked by sunshine's ray or lightning's fash,
Shrouded forever in one twilight grey,
For him sat eventide there shzll be lightI'
LighrtU the blinded wanderer-led astray
Der desert moor, by the delusive CLEAN;
His dreams must be the cheerful light of home,
And wakes to find a lantern of the waste.
For him at eventide there shall be lighti'
Light to the shipErecked on the shores Of life,
Who see their bsrks go down in sight of land,
Lured by the false meteors onward to their doom,
Where the black ocks lie buried in the foam.
For them "at eEentide there shall be light"
Light to the patient eyes that cannot see
Earth's glorious beauty and her bloomy hues,
Eer the dear form and lineaments of love;
A tenderer dawn shall greet those unsealed eyes.
Whsn at the ''eventide there shall be lightr'
To all who pine in darkness and il gloom
OF heart or soul, that ray shall come at last;
To some, a star to lead the pilgrim home;
To some. the iurid gloS~of endless fame;
To ALL .'at eventide there shall be light"
