Kansas. being so continually kept out of
the Union by the Democratic party, can
scarcely fail to regard with profound interest
the remarkable rupture in that party, and its
consequent certain defeat. The Little Giant
las at last found that he is too small 10 en-
brace both North and South in his ambi-

his inclinations and habits. to attempt to
win the North. But the North cannot for
get that he was the deliberate author of all
the present national and territorial troubles,
and that his whole life has been one of de-
votion to the South at the expense of the
North. and she will repel his advances in
dignantly. Thus spurned by the South and
disowned by the North. lie will learn at
length that serving God and mammon is
still an impossibility, and that he who sows

the whirlwind is gathered at his door.
The pitiful predicament of the Douglas

supported four years ago. and IN denounc-

lie iznds itg Western Kansas. We have
bu. room this week for the following resO-
luton. bat shall publish the proceedings
entire ia our next:
Resided, That ne recommend to the settlers in
the above named Land Districts to assemble ea
REasse, without distinction of party, in the most
orderly, peaceful and quiet manner, and adjourn
the SALES for one gear. and remain At the Land OF
fee long enough to see that none OF their we'll
earned homesteads are exposed for sale.
Now, if we were TO take the responsible
ty of giving advice to The settlers of Wes-
tern Kansas in this juncture, j. would be,
not to do any such thing as that advised in
tie above resolution. There is nothing TO
fear from any purchases being made by
spectators at tie sales. Ii they want the
land they can get it at private entry cheaper.
What good viii it do to watch the sales, or
adjourn them y when. as soon as they
are concluded, the speculatois can go into
the Offices and enter all the land they want?
And this they can do even if the offices
were beleaguered By thousand armed men
opposed 10 it. The sales cannot be cad
journed for one year. or any shorter or
longer period. either peaceably or forcibly,
unless the President chooses to do il him
self; and all demonstrations of the kind rec
commended will only excite the ire and OPP
position of both spectators and land Office
officials, and render the chances more des-
perate of the settlers securing their land.
Rather let those who cannot pre-empt, be
at home early on the morning after the sales
are closed, (they continue just faOo sceeks)
and make new improvement, in the pres
ence of witnesses. Then go Immediately
to the Office and file declaration of inten-
ton" to claim the land as home, according
to law of Congress, and they will get twelve
months time in which to pay forit. 1t is
possible that some will fail and those who
can had better pre-empt. But those who
cannot win run less risk in this manner than
in that recommended in the above resolu-
ton. Such, at least, is our humble judg-
ment.

Bought Her Husband.


A neat and charming maiden 10 Indiana,
the fortunate possessor Of a considerable
property, became engaged for marriage to a
green, unattractive. clumsy boy Of eighteen
years. The day for the wedding wss fixed,
and the course Of rustic love was running
smoothly enough. One day the groom ex-
pectsnt appeared before his mistress with
wrinkled brow, quivering chin. eyes filed
with tears. "My father says shaD't marry
unless first pay him for my time" This
was all be said. The woman at once sent
him to the sharp parent with instructions ia
learn the lowest rate Of exchange at which
the time could be changed into money. Il
will sell you'' - said the father---''for 5000
and not cent less.o "And / will buy
you," returned the damsel, when the offs-
was communicated TO her. She paid III
money, married the property. and has since
go assiduously cultiva.edit, that ! great i'm

Young Men.

that, among the late graduates at West
Point, is a son OF Commodore Vanderbilt,
and that he received from his father, on
graduating, the sum Of S5O,OOO. Mr.. Van.
derbilt, it is stated, offered him this sum, If
he should pass his final examination, and
800 900, If he should be one Of the five

We can we'll believe It. II young men
knew the anxiety Of their fathers for them,
if they believed in its depth and extent,
more OF them would turn out well. The
wealth Of father is but poor consolation
to him IL bis sons are worthless, and most
men would make any sacrifice, to secure
manly, virtuous and euccessful boys. Mr..

have his son dismissed in disgrace for bad
conduct, or inattention to his studies. he was
wise TO offer, fifty or hundred thousand dol
lars, il 1t would secure favorable result

everything. Carelessness, waste OF time,
