ICannoi Stay Alone.
BY KATE X. KEESEY.

Twas midnight-and fair young child
Watched By the bed Of pain;
Another tossed with rawlings wild,
And sought for rest in vain!
"Oh mother, once more to ME speck,"
The child in anguish criedj
She fondly pressed the suffering check;
No gentle voice replied.
Anon, a ehange-the sufferer slept,
Deaths shadow slowly creepsr
Unmindful that her pale child wcpt.
% As childhood only weeps.
She woke-a smile came DER her face,
The rawlings wild were hushed,
And tears despite the warm embrace,
From the hearts fountain gushed.
Oh. Saviour. keep my cherished one
Within thy guardian care!
And grant she Ills may ne'er forget,
Her dying mothers prayer.
Our home is drear; but there's land
Where. they are never cold!
This lamb Of mine, lead with thine hand
Into that Heavenly fold.
"0h. mother, mother do not go;
IcGHHOt stay alone
SWeetchildhOod's pleading tones Of woe,
Reached to our Fathers throne.
For when the dewy morning smiled.
Sweet with the .f0weret's breath,
That mother and her beauteous child
Together slept in death.

What Gold Is Doing.

There is a subject in which our California
exchanges arc copious enough, though we
of the far East think but little of it. We
refer to the yield of the gold mines and
the probability Of their ever being ex-
hausted. From time to time the cry is
raised that the great treasury Of Nature
must soou pay out its last instalment Of
gold, and then we look at the arrivals and
the fear is hushed. The last arrival, that
Of the Moses Taylor, brought s., 1881 ,5l1,
nearly equal in amount to any previous
shipment during the present year. There
is something really wonderful in this con-
slant and enormous yield. Other gold
regions have had reputation the Dab
lonega, and we know not how many
Southern mines, now live only in the
memory of old Biographies; but California
is still the American 0phir and bids fair
to remain 30 for century. From Australis
to London there come shipments, not BY
the millions Of dollars, but Of pounds.
Russia silently and with . Gordon Of
guards, digs out vast treasures every yea
from the Ural, and her Amoor mountains
are said to contain the richest gold mineI
in the wsEld. Thsy are - Jet untouched

while the whites are compelled to labor
for livelihood. At all events, our present
system can hardly be changed for the
worse, unless it should be determined to
increase the money annuities.
In my judgment, the proposed Territory
ought TO be organized with about the
boundaries have indicated. Although.
as stated, its agricultural resources must
always be limited, yet the mines will at.
tract great number of people, and their
remoteness from any organized govern
ment will force them to adopt an organi-
cation for themselves, as was once done in
Oregon. This should not be. The bene.
tits of government ought to be brought
within the reach of all.

fully, your obedieut servant,

largely contaminated with fraudulent and
fictitious names, designed to give control
OF the convention to the same parties who
were the authors of the subsequent frauds
at Oxford, Shawnee, Delaware, Kickapoo
and elsewhere, perpetrated under the Con.
stitution itself. Indeed, the failure of so
large number of these registered voters
TO exercise the elective franchise in so
mary succeeding elections, at which much
larger votes were given, conclusively con-
firms the information stated, that large
proportion Of the names returned in the
pretended registry, like those of Oxford
and other places, was simulated and ficti-
tious.
Now that these truths have been clear
ly developed, all candid men must admit
that the Lecompton instrument, falsely
called constitution, was itself recking
with fraud and forgery, and, in the Ian
guage of che recent speech of Senator
Hammond, of South Carolina, fought to
have been kicked out of Congress" What
that Senator has already had the courage
to concede, we cannot doubt will soon be
the sentiment of tie whole country; and
"the sober second thought" of the people
of the South will eventually unite with
the almost unanimous verdict of the people
of the North and West in stamping this
base counterfeit and itnposture with the
brand of infamy and execration.
Since the election of August last, held
in Kansas under the auspices of the pres
ent Federal Administration, when the Le-
compton constitution was condemned by
a majority of nearly ten thousand, we pre-
sumo no man will assert that that instru-
ment ever was the choice of the people of
Kansas; or that it was our duty to be
silent, with full personal knowledge of
all the facts, when so atrocious usurpa-
ton was attempted.
However much we may regret the ap-
parent sanction given by the South to
these proceedings, we think the censure
should fall upon those who, with ample
information on the subject, and against
light and knowledge, persisted in urging
upon Congress the adoption of this instru.
ment; nor have We ever doubted that,
with an equal knowledge of all the facts.
the South would have rejected the Lee
compton Constitution with scorn and in
dignation. The imposing character of the
recommendations with which it was pre-
scented to Congress, deceived and misled
many honorable members of both Houses,
who now, upon better information, would
doubtless unite with Senator Hammond in
giving that instrument an ignominieus re-
lection from the halls of legislation.
We venture to hope that the bitter vi
tuperation with which we have been assail-
ed, will be considered a sufficient excuse
for this notice of facts lately developed,
coming out at last to vindicate the truth,
which has been partially crushed, and to
condemn the wrong which has been ac-
complished or attempted.

pit.,. Peak eola-saO TO n. Ounce.

The Superintendent of the Philadel-
phia Mint, telegraphs that the Pixies Peak
gold has been carefully assayed, previous
to being coined, and that it was found to
be worth $40 per ounce.
The Shasta River gold, of California,
is the purest gold that has been found in
all the placers of that State of Gold, and
that is worth only $19.4o. Pure gold is
worth exactly S24, and the gold that has
been delivered at the Philadelphia Mint,
from the Pixies Peak mines, is the purest
gold that has ever been discovered on this
continent!

At meeting Of the tax payers Of this
township, held at "Yates Crossing" Of the
Wakarusa, Jan. 9th, for the purpose Of
protesting against the enormous taxes,
levied upon our property. John d. Fir
man was called to the chair, and Il. @.
Ward was appointed Secretary. The
Chair stated the object of the meeting,
whersupon it was moved, that commit
tee Of three be appointed to draft resolu-
tons expressive of the sense of the meet
ing. Messrs. Yates, Lea Hesy and Ward
were appointed such committee. The
committee reported the following resolu-
tons which, after some debate, were unan-
imously adopted.
WHEREAS, our taxes are oppressively
high, unjust and unreasonable, be it
Resolved, That we have neither the
means or inclination to pay said tax, and
we distinctly state to those in power, that
we peremptorily refuse to do so.
Resolped, That we are in favor OF the
proper county officers making an exhibit
of the county Indebtedness, and that they
levy enough, and no more than enough
tax, to pay said Indebtedness.
And WHEREAS, in our OPT MON the sal
aries Of some Of our county oficen are
too high, thereby making our taxes more
burdensome, be it further
IL e ~
allowing the clerks Of courts salary for
their services, but are in favor Of making
those Offices seif-sustaining by means OF
their fees.
And WHEAEAs, The valuation and as
sessment of tax of from SO, to $40
Der acre, when one half Of the land is not
pre.empted, is both unjust and oppressive,
be it
Resolued, Tha. we do hereby utterly
repudiate the principle, and respectfully
ask the Legislature so to modify the tax
and valuation laws that land shall only
nav a tax corresponding to Congress price,
until this land shall be out of market.
Resolved, That the voters of this vicinity,
would respectfully suggest to those in
mower. that If they show an unwillingness
to do what is right in regard to these
taxes, that rotation in Office will be very
popular another year.
Resolred, that a copy of the proceed
ings Of this meeting be sent to the Her
aid of Freedom for publication.

it could be satisfactorily answered by the
sister in question when the man popped
the question.
