Suffering of the People of Kansas.

All accounts concur in the statement that
the people of Kansas, in consequence of ths
failure of the crops, are on the point of suf-
fering for want of the actual nccessaries Of
of life Thaddeus Hyatt, ip his letter to the
President asking the postponement of ths
sale of government lands in that Territory,
says:
Thousands Of once thrifty and prosper
Gus American citizens, are now peEishing Of
want Winter is upon them, of clothing
they are nearly bereft; food they have not TO
last them through the cold season that is ap-
preaching OF over a hundred thousand
people upon Kansas soil six months ago, at
least one-fourth or one-third have left Of the
remainder it is safe to say that forty thousand
at this moment see nothing but exodus or
starvation at the end of the sixty days now
Just before them from ten to twenty thou
sand look with only despairing eyes upon
November; thousands cannot subsist mont
longer unaided other thousands are living
upon the little which their neighbors deprive
themselves of to give to them-neghbors
equally unfortunate, and with whom the
starvation is merely question of but few
days longer, while still other thousands, il
not at once relieved, must perish from hum
ger, or the disease that follows in its train
Some have already died, others are daily dy-
ing, while The hours grow darker, and the
days wax longer for the living to whom re-
lief comes not, and whose eyes are aching
with watchings for the succor that delays"

A SABBATH SCHOOL INcIDENT.-At meet
ing in Exeter Hall, London, where there was
avast number of Sabbath school children as
sembled, clergyman arose on the platform,
and told them of two bad little boys whom
he had once known, and Of good little girl
whom he afterwards learned to know. This
little girl had been to Sabbath-school, where
she had learned to do some good every
day." Seeing two boys quarelling she went
UP to them, told them how wickedly they
were acting; made them desist from quar-
reling, and, in the end, induced them to at
tend Sunday School. These boys were Jim
and Tom. Now, children" said the gen.
tleman, "would you like to see Jimg'
All shouted with one voice: Yes yes :"
"Jim, get upt" said he, looking over to
another part of the stage A reverend look
ing missionary arose, and looked smilingly
upon the children.
"Now, would you like to see Tom?"
Yes! yes reseunds through all the
house"
"Well, look at me: am Tom, and I, too,
have been missionary for many years
Now, would you like to see little Mary
Wood?"
The response was even more earnest
"Yesp'
"Well, do you see that lady there in the
blue bonnety That is little Mary Wood, and
she is my seite.

A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

The following paragraph is from the Wis
consin Farmer:
''To the majority of men we are satisfied
that the soil is nothing but dirt; but to the
chemist who knows its origin, its nature and
its capabilities, it is wonderful mixture of
those beautiful elements which, in their ev-
er-varyfng forms, become the ambient air,
the liquid ocean, the precious opal, the ame-
thyst, and the still more precious diamond :;
or delicate blue-bell and violet, the amaranth,
the lily, and the rosebud; the spear of blue
grass, and the cedar of Lebanon: or again.
the ruby lip, the loye-lit eye, the noble, pal
pitating heart, and more wonderful, the
brain. These are the jewels of which the
soil is composed, and out of which the hus-
bandman strives to force the food hunger
Graves. Henceforth as he turns the burrows
Of the field, Yet the sleep of his thoughts be
broken by the reflection that the earth thus
stirred up by the ploughshare, is doubtless
composed in part of the ashes of ancestral be-
roes, whose deeds are the history of the past,
whose mortal remains are the plastic mate
rial out of which we are building the bodies
of to day"

orous and perseveIing efforts of every true
patriot and christian, male and female Can
any friend of man view the desolating torrent
sweeping over the country-hundreds and
thousands impoverished by it--thirty thou
sand annually slain-ffty two millions of
dollars wasted for liquors, and the support
OF crime and pauperism flowing from their
use-and hundreds made insane by it--can.
any man see all this, and put forth no effort
to arrest it? If this evil should continne to
increase as it has within the last few years,
thousands upon thousands will be borne on a
current of liquid fire to world of woe. Will
you then see this fell destroyer rearing up
his establishments to darken the heavens,
shifting down multitudes of the noblest
vouthS digging thousands of graves ANNUAL
iy, selIfIg fotth has pestileiisial poison into
the atmosphere to generate disease, blasphe-
my, Sabbath-breaking, and RIGHTEOUSNESS;
will you allow the monster to enter your
homes, to pollute your fresi6es, and slay
your sonS-to enter the sanctuary and lay
his foul hand upon the altar of religion
shall this fiery deluge continue to roll through
the land, and you put forth no effort to ar
rest it? | cannot, will not believe it. The
consequences of this vice are too fearful to
be thus passed over, and feel assured that
all of you at once will enter into the contest
anew, with firm determination to triumph.
Brethren and friends of this glorious cause,
push on the column, until the enemy is un-
der your feet. Consoling indeed will it be to
the Christians heart, to know that he has
been the humble instrument in the hand OF
God in bringing fallen brother back to the
path of sobriety and piety, and no greater
recompense will be required than to see a
poor lost drunkard restored to the dignity O
q man. Then, indeed, shall truth and virtue
triumph, and men be no longer slaves to a
master whom they despise. The voice of the
people calls for Temperance. From the snow
capped tops of the mountains of the North
to the gently ripping waters of the sunny
South-from the undulating prairies Of The
boundless West, to the ocean washed shore o
the great East-that voice is heard, and it:
echoes fill every hamlet and cottage in thu
land The poo, victims of this vice are i'm
ploring US, and will you turn a deaf ear t.
their cry? No, indeed for methinks hea
you cry-to the rescue! TO THE RESCUE!
In conclusion, in behalf of lowly hearth
made vacant by the demon strides of intenl
perance by the prayers of the wretched mo
ther, whose only son has drowned all his hu
manity in the wine cup, and by the despair
ing shrieks of homeless and penniless wige
and children, we say in Gods name enro
yourselves under the glorious banner of Ten
perance, and vow that you will give no qual
ter to the enemy, until the last captive is r'
deemed, ''and all the ransomed shall retur
and come to Zion, with songs and everastin
Joy upon their heads"

Stroud, some time ago, deposition was read,
in which was involved the reputation for ebri-

sition was arefully written by a lawyer, and

before whom it was taken. To the question
Does Blank drink liquor habitually ?" the
answer was, Only at camp meetings and
