ILL.TEMPER.

A. single person of sour,
temper-what dreadful thing it
is to have one in the honse. There is not
myrrh and aloes and chloride of lime
enough in the world to disinfect a single
house of such nuisance as tnat: no
riches, no elegance of mien. no beauty of
face can ever screen them from utter
yulgarity. There is one thing which
rising persons hate the reputation of
more than all others, and that is vulgar
ityi; but trust ME, ill-temper is the most
vulgar thing that the lowest born and
illest bred can bring to his home. 1t is
ono of the worst forms of impiety.

Gov with generous hand;
= Pause not for toll and pain;
Weary not through the heat oil summer,
Weary not through the cold spring rain
But wait till the autumn comes
For the sheaves ofgofden grain.
Scatter the seed and fear not
A table will be spread;
What matter if you are too weary
To eat your hard-earned bread?
Sow while the earth is broken.
For the hungry must be fed.
Sow-while the seeds are lying
In the warm earth's bosom deep,
And your warm tears fall upou it,
They will stir in their quiet sleep.
And the green blades rise the quicker l.
Perchance for the tears you weep.
Their, sow, for the hours are fieeting,
And the seeds must fall to-day,
Andcar not what hands shall reap 1t,
Or il you shall have passed away
Before the waving cOrnfields
Shall gladden. the sunny day.
Sow-and look onward, upward,
Where the starry light appears;
Where, in spite of the towards doubling,
your own hearts trembling fears,
You shall reap in joy the harvest
You have sOwn to-day in tears.

through mistake, purchased ticket

OUR EARLY HISTORY.
The Old Fights in and About LeeOmp'
tOn-Dsys Of Riot and BlsSdshed.


John Speer, one of tho oldest OF
our Kansas settlers, publishes in
a late issue of the Lawrence Trib-
une an interesting sketch of early
troubles in and about Lawrence
and Leeompton. From it we ex-
tract the following:
The Territorial Legislature met
on the 4th Of July, and soon after
located the capitol at the town of
Lecompton. Two burrows were
plowed from 4 point on the Cali
fornia road near. Col. Walkers
residence, and served as a road to
lead ambitious Pro slavery men to
the future capital OF the proposed
slave State. 1t was not long till
large numbers of Pro-slavery peo-
pie, not without quite q number of
Northern families, were attracted
to the new town, and the contest
between Lawrence and Lecompson
became lively as to supremacy and
enterprise. Buildings went up in
both towns with great rapidity.
The summer of 1855 witnessed bat
few outbreaks Of violence; but in
the fall, on the murder OF Dow,
and the rescue of Branson, and
consequently what was called the
WakArusa war, Lecompton became
one Of the places Of rendezvous
fer the Pro-siavery hosts, and
Lawrence was meAaced from the
east by the 'sborder rufiansa aa
Franklln, and from the west by

their Missouri allies. IN 1856, II

There has recently been laid be-
fore the French Geographical So
ciety a project for cutting e canal
across the Isthmus Of Panama.
The plan originated with French
civil engineer, NJ. Levy, who has
lately been occupied on the survey
of the Nicaragua canal. Four
teen routes have been proposed
through New Granada, but none
actually decided upon. d. Levy
favors an inter-Oceaaie canal, be-
ginning on the Atlantic side nc the
mouth of the San Juan River,
which takes its rise In Lake Eicer-
aqua. tits asserted that the river
and lake can be used as q canal RS
triiing outlay, while the distance
from the western part of the lake
to the Pacific is q few miles oaly.
Such O canal, if properly con-
stSucted, would revolutioniEe- the
commerce Of the Pacific, and raise
its termini from paltry villages 10

NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.

No one will dispute the fact that
it is cheaper in the end to hire an
intelligent servant than an ignor-
ant one, even if one has to pay q
higher rate. Ignorance breaks
and abuses property and makes it
useless. Intelligence preserves
and uses it, and even discovers in
it new capacities of which we had
before been unconscious. But our
indefatigable statisticians have
begun to make closer and more
exact calculations on this point,
and some Of their computed re-
suits are at least curious.
They went to work in the first
place by consulting three classes
of people, iaborers, employers and
disinterested observers, TO discov-
er, if possible, how much more O
man was worth as O laborer il he
could read and write than II he
could not. All these classes
agreed in saying that one-fourth
per cent. would be added to his
value. a very simple example in
multiplication will then give US
the result, that il ell our ignorant
laborers could be taught to resd
and write, they would add to the
wealth of the country $l16,612,-
1880, a modest little sum, which
might help very materially to can
eel the national debt. Or course
various applications may be made
of this resuit-as c. g., the above
mentioned sum would pay all the
expenses Of all the public schools
in the United States, twice over.
But now suppose that we add to
simple reading and writing the
training and knowledge which are
impaired by our high schools, We
at once make the value of our
workman five times as great as
before, and We have increased the
productive value Of tho country in
the same ratio.
These figures seem large, and
yet q momeut's reflection will
serve to convince any one that the
boy who has been trained by the
whole system OF public schools is
worth I'VE times - much as the
ignorant laborer who comes as q
donation, good only for the most
mechanical routine.
Hard as it may be, We shall
probably be obliged to accept the
above conclusion Is truth, and
shall immediately set ourselves to
work mo4t aHxiously 70 inquire
how We can best promote the edu-
cation Of the people, whose pro-
ductive industry constitutes the
real wealth Of the nation, and
win moro than double and trebIe
that wealth IL they Be educated

For the benefit of teachers engas-
ed in teaching district schools, or
GERS, or others having question:
they wish answered, We propose &c
introduce a Query Department.
We have received the following
question from q young lady, teaches
in one Of the district schools
Should 7 require the gowng ladies
and gentlemen Of sny school to stand
tohen they rec,te to me?
Yes; and for two reasons: Frat,
The pupil gains by so doing. He
learns by standing to recite, to lose
sight of his physical prominence
that is, he gradually learns to forget
himself, and give his entire atten-
ton to the subject he is trying to
discuss; he also learns to make a
graceful appearance while standing
in the presence of others. These
are elements which belong to the
complete man, and which can no.
where be acquired with so little sf-
fort as at the recitation seat. Insist,
for his own sake, that he stand in .
graceful attitude.
Second. The character Of the
teacher requires it. Pupils should
not be allowed to talk with the
teacher during the recitation with.
out rising. A certain amount OF
reverence is due from the pupil to
the teacher, and for the same reason
that a member of q deliberasive
body must rise aud address the
chairman before proceeding to de-
liver an address, should q pupil
stand In the presence of his instruc.
tor while making his speech, what
ever it may be.

but as other kinds Of bus mess, as
its results, would be started and
successfully carried on, we may
well conceive the advantages that
would accrue. The fact that we
had good coal here, would be q
greater inducement TO the estab-
iishment of machine shops here
than any amount of bonds our
people would be willing to vote.
This is also true in many. other
branches OF business, all of which
would add largely to- our wealth
and population. - - - a. --s 4. :
The snecessfuloperation of such
coal interests would not'only stop
the heavy drain OF money for its
supply, but, instead 8of' that, if
would add yearly TO our financial
prosperity. AS coal. in Its natural

This is quite different from most
any kind OF manufactures, where

employed is used to purchase the

from remote parts of the country.

advantages, and, If coal could be.
had at a mere nominal sum, they
would be attracted tosour city and
county, for no considerate person
will settle where there is o proha-
bility or certainty that fuel will be
a heavy burden, SO long As they
can find other localities where
these advantages are not TO be en-
countered.
1t would seem unnecessary to
enlarge upon such reasons, or to
give others. In whatever light it
is viewed its advantages stand out
in such bold relief that we can see
no good reason for delay, while
every sense of policy and propriety
impels us to accomplish what in a
few years will be admitted to be
our grandest achievement for our
