Eilc Folly of Pride.

Take some quiet, sober moment of life, and
add together the two idea of pride and man
Behold him, creature of a span, stalking
through infinite space in all the grandeur of
littleness. Perched on speck of the Uni
verse, every wind Of Heaven strikes into his
blood the coldness of death his soul floats
from his body like melody from the string /;
day and night, like the dust on the wheel, he
is rolled along the heavens, through Ia
byrinth of worlds, and all the creations Of
God are flaming above and beneath. Is this
a creature to make for himself crown of
glory, to deny his own flesh, to mock his fel-
low, sprung from that dust to which both will
return ? Does not the proud man err Does
he not suffer Does he not die ? When he
reasons, is he not stopped by difficulties p
When he acts, is he never tempted by pleas
ure When he lives, is he free from pain
When be dies, can he escape the common
grave? Pride is not the heritage of man =
humanity should dwell with frailty, and atone
for ignorance, error and imperiection.-SI.

Eastern Creditors.

An immense amount of real estate in Min
nesota, is now passing into the hands of East
ern creditors by foreclosure of mortgage, and
in payment of debts, of various kinds. A
question not less important for us than for
them is, what will they do with these lands !?
They cannot sell them to people here for they
have land enough already.
They cannot hold them, for they will soon
be eat up with taxes.
Their only chance is, to find people East
who want farms, and sell them cheap. If
they will interest themselves to send on a
good class of immigrants, and give them lib
eral terms on the sale Of their lands, they
may benefit themselves and us too. II not,
their lands are bound to 90 s''on, for some
how it always happens that about the time
the assessors are around, the lands of non
residents are considered quite raluable; and
get down on the assessors about x. This is
all right. We do not want lands lying in our
midst unimproved a barrier to the progress of
civilization Let Eastern mortgages bestir
themselves if they expect to realize anything
out of their Minnesota investments.-St. Am-

Editor Republican You do not seem to
have been fully posted in regard to the facts
connected with the shooting of Williams
(mail agent) by G. R. Hughes, ESQ.,, of this
place, last Friday night.
That your readers may know them, will
briefly state that Hughes and Williams had
been friends for number of years that dur
ing the past two years Williams had been in
innate in the family of Hughes, and had re-
ceived MANY evidences Of friendship from
him. Hughes, during the past six months,
became satisfied that his attentions to Mrs.
Hughes were dshonorable, and told his wife
to avoid his company, and Williams, that his
visits to his house must be discontinued.
Williams dsregarded his injunctions, persist
ed In seeing and writing to Mrs. H., and some
time during the late Fair in your city, to
which Mr.. Hughes had gone, came here and
had an interview and correspondence with
her-which fact was promptly communicated
to Hughes, on his retnrn, by Mr.. Queen, a
brother in-law of Williams, who had discov
cred an improper intimacy, and had frequent
ly admonished Williams that unless his course
was changed Hughes would hold him ac-
countahle
Hughes, upon learning this, set himself to
work investigating the case, and rumor says,
made some discoveries of correspondence
satisfying himself Of their criminality. Re-
solved to punish Williams Gas you have it,
he shot him in the mail car door, while the
train was stopping at the depot He sought
a friend, who accompanied him to the Sheriff,
into whose custody he (Hughes) delivered
| himself He was not confined, and the COM
munity generally justify the act.
1t is much to be regretted, as the peace of
once happy family is forever destroyed, and
| an honorable, high-minded man and an 4.tsc-
tionate father and husband, has been forced
to avenge his wrongs by shooting his former

Sibleys Thanksgiving Pretenston.

One year ago Governor Sibley appointed a
day Of General Thanksgiving as matter Of
form, and according to law" This year he
makes the appointment as white man should
as christian, filled with gratitude to Al
mighty God for mercies received, and to
"humbly invoke continuance Of His kind
protection" -f H- .rra..' n..
In recounting the blessings of the past
year, the Governor says: /.
- lie has averlvd rrOm the nation of which
we form part, the evils of internal dssen-
sion, and OF foreign war;"
A very graceful manner in which to avoid
the responsibility of the Wright county war.
While Governor Sibley is ashamed to assume
the responsibility of that war himself, we
most devoutly thank him for not attempting
to throw the responsibility Of it upon the
Almighty.
1t will be seen that the Oath of November
has been designated for this purpose-the
same day that has been selected in most of

yea. like bars OF iron.

Speech Of Tom COfwin.


Hon. Tom Corwin, member of Congress
elect of Ohio, delivered a long address to an
audience Of about 1000 persons at Musical
Hall, Brooklyn, embodying his views of the
doctrine of the Republican party.
: He argued that the irrepressible conflict
between free and slave labor originated with
the South Carolina nullitication, connseled
obedience to all law, including the Fugitive
Slave Law, and defended Webster, Clay and
Fillmore, from the charge of. being favorable
to slavery because they recognized and acted
on their duty as sworn officers Of the Cow
ernhient. '''''''' ''.. -"
He is opposed to the doctrine Of squatter
sovereignty, and repudiates. the extravagant
sentiments promulgated by Wendell Phillips
with reference to Old Brown and Harper's
Ferry. Popular sovereignty, in exercising it's
powers in Kansas, had resulted in four years
of civil war, out of which came that spectre
of insanity and treason, John Brown. gsa

Her hand is laid in mine;, .-a.f
And thus we watch the parting sun
In golden haze decline.
Across the fields the shadows creep,
And up the misty hill;
And we our twilight vigils keep,
AT our cottage-still.
The distant brooklet's murmers come,
Like bell-notes through the leaves;
And many an insects mazy hum
Its dreamy music weaves
The doves last note, in ripping beats,
Upon the air departs,
The breath of all our garden sweets
Is creeping to our hearts.
The russet woodbine round our porch
In clustering ringlet twines;
The honeysuckle's crimson torch
Cleans through the dusty vines;
The sunset rays are trembling now
Amid the trellis bars
They paint upon my darling's brow .
A glory like the stars. "
Her cheek is nesting on my breast, .
Her eyes are bright with tears! "a
A PRAYER, half.breathed and half.represt,
My listening spirit hears,

That giorities my lifel
