briefly college life at Oberlin:

AGoOd Woman Never Grows Old.

Years may pass over her head,
but if benevolenee and virtue dwell
in her heart, she is as cheerful as
when the spring of life opened to
her view. When we look at a
good woman we never think of her
age, she looks as charming as when
the rose of youth first bloomed on
her cheek, That rose has not fad
cd yeti will never fade. In her
neighborhood she is the friend and
benefactor. Who does not respect
and love the woman who has pas
sed her days in acts of kindness
and mercy? We repeat, such q
woman can never grow old. She
will always be fresh and buoyant
in spirit, and active in humble
deeds of bcnevolence.

Can't Explain IT,

The Detroit Free Press says
"not one Of the Black Republicans
has yet attempted to explain the
inconsistency of Mr.. Seward in his
course upon the Missouri Compro-
mise. He saidin his Detroit speech
that its establishment was the first
wrong step the Government took
on the slavery question, and yet he
opposed its repeal, which certainly
would be, the first step toward a
return to the right, and the party
with which he acts was built up up
on the very ground of opposition
to the repeal. Can not the public
be afforded some explanation of
this matter?
"It must have been that Hamlin
took the same view Of the Missouri
Compromise that Seward does, be-
lieving it to be the first wrong step
on the slavery question, when he
voted in 1913 against Mr.. Douglas
bill in the Senate to extend it
across the continent to the Pacific.
Lincoln was of the same opinion
too, for when the bill came down
to the House he voted against it,"

Major Carroll, of Tennessee,

says, two to one for Douglas over

are six Douglas Clubs, voting two
thousand, and one Breckinridge
Club, voting only twenty-five. In
Upton, q large county, there are
but seventeen Breckenridge men,

ia. To a man disappointed love

pa-To man disappointed love
may occasion some bitter pangs; il
wounds some feelings of tender,
ness; it blasts some prospects ol
felicity; but he is an active being
he can dissipate his thoughts in the
whirl of varied occupation, OF
plunge into the tide Of pleasure
or, if the scene of disappointment
be too full of painful associations,
he can shift his abode at will, and
taking as it were, the wings of the
morning, can fly to the uttermost
parts Of the earth, and be at rest !;
but woman is comparatively fixed,
a secluded, q meditative life; she is
more the comparatively fixed, q Sc
cluded, a meditative life; she is
more the companion of her own
thoughts and feelings; and if they
are turned to ministers Of sorrow,
where shall she look for consola-
ton? Her lot is to be wooed and
Won; and if unhappy in her love,
her heart is like a fortress that has
been captured, and abandoned, and
left desolate,.

succ.ssful in throwing off from the party the stain
Of official corruption, as the last Legislature was
in afixipg it upon it.
A gratifying feature of the proceedings was the
happy and appropriate selection of names to head
the Electoral ticket-William Cullen Bryant and
james 0. Putnam. The former was received with
rspturous applause for the many virtues and lofty
literary fame that cluster around it. The latter
twas warmly greeted as the representative of
liberal principle. Both were victory over per-
sOnal pique aud petty tolicy.
Finally, the denomination of Morgan and Camp
bell, the passage of the antcorruption resolution
and the selection of Bryant and Putnam to head
the Electoral ticket were stunning blows at cliques
and interests which are destined to be dashed in
pieces.

THE FAMINE IN KANSAS.
Nm " Trihuna

Correspondence Of The n Y. Tribune
LAwREScE, Kansas, Aug. H. 1860
I am informed that much is now being said in tho
Eastern papers about the state and condition of Kan
sas-some asserting that we in condition border
ing on famine, and others laughing at the idea, and de-
claring that we shall not want for our Winters
bread.
You will, perhaps, remember me as an acquaintance
land sonin-law of your old friend, James III. Braine
and will believe that the statements which make are
true.
You know how poor our people were when you were
with us, fifteen months ago; and when / state few
facts YOU can draw your own conclusions of what
condition must be before the middle of the Winter
In tbis county, and indeed in nearly every part of
eastern Kansas wheat and oats were an entire fail
ure. Our corn will not make five bushes to the acre.
except on the Kansas and Wakarusa bottoms. Our
potatoes will never be dug. Our Hungarian grass is
heading out close to the ground, and buckwheat
nus. be entire failure, unless we have rain within
week.
Many of our farmers are living upon corn bread aud
corn coffee and have not enough Of that to last them
two months longer.
Hundreds are leaving the Territory, and hundreds
would do if they were able TO Le0Ue. Some of
us have again and again asserted that the liberal
of the East who came nobly to the reecue OF the
people in Ireland in l8i7 will not let poor starve
if they are informed of our true condition. But the
fear Of checking next years immigration, is causing
many Of citizens to shut their eyes against the real
state Of facts.
Shall such selishness debar us from making known
cur leaDneesl
have no plan to propose; but ii seemed right and
just that should write 10 you, as slight acquain
aDce, and bear witness OF what my ears have heard
al d eyes have seen.

ste @ards at the East TO do something for the honest
barG-workiDg, but INDECENT men, of sonth kapsas
