And they came from the Vallcyi, arid from the hill topi, and from the ettreme corner of the land, to the number of four hundred and three score and ten. 3. And they came in soberness, for they were of that class who lored to reason together. ai(f hearken unto the words of wisdom. ' 4. And McWilliams of the land of Clay was chosen to preside over them, and Jacob the Banker selected as Scribe. . 6. Now, among the Chieftains in the land of Ohio who had rebelled against the King and refused to kneel to the cap of the great Le-ompton, were Henry the Painful, of the land of Cuyahoga, and Daniel of Toledo, in the land of Frogs. , ,' . ' 6.1 Now these Chieftains onoe stood high in the Counsels of the King, and had received many fevprsjrom his hands. . '," 1 7. "But when the King commanded his followers to worship the cap of the greatI-e-'compton, thoy rebellod.and joined the forces under the Little Oiant, and stood forth ready to do battle manfully for the cause they had spoused. 8. And they Journeyed from their homes (n the land of Cuyahoga and the land of Frogs, and pitched their, tents in the land of Kno. 0. In the words of truth they spake unto the people of the land of Knox, of the wrongs attomptcd to be forced upon the people of the .t.a r KmiAm. bv the Kinc, and by the Chieftain Lecompton, sent to rulo over them, A And the people ot the land of Knox hearkened unto their words, and arose as to a man. and said, this mighty evil should not be, and thoy swore In their wrath that they Would not have this man Lecompton as their ruler. 1L Now, among the Chieftains of the land of Knox who had rebelled against the King, was William the Gastomte, whom the King and his Chieftains had brought from the land of Jofferson, to battle in his cause, and to rescue the land of Knox from the hands of a mighty people called Black Republicans, 12. And the Lecompton Cbeiftains were incensed at his rebellion, and swore in their wrath, that he should not dwell in their midst, for they were afraid the people would hearken unto his voice. 13. ! And William the Oastonite also spake unto the people for the space of one hour of the frauds and iniquities attempted to be for- ood upon tho people of the land of Kansas by t King, and the people assembled were raszeu' ' hl w0rd of truth' g'ril"d their i8 new' re8olTe1 to con1uer or , in th. cause rjurtlc, nd truth 14.: 1Jow,wherltol'tonChiBft'M beard Ike- tesolve. of T Vfo they .ere as faatb-founded, C& thgkUe steU A 'swine ith 'iVm lulser avonav 15.

On the morning of the 15th day of the ' month of ManchC in th second year of the ieign of James the second, God caused tho it' rain f baen to descend upon the earth, and ,( the greet thoroughfares leading to the city of V Vernon is the land of Knox, by reason there-" V,of. became a!moit'impiaUe' '" t .il8.' 80 much' sn, indeed, that bu.fe)f l''U Pop'j 1 'ni1 of Knp tntVrt1 bfth f from their hearthstones.

The number thereof were computed by those skillful in the science of figures, to have reached three hundred and two score and five. '. ', ' " ; it. And Lecky the Harper jsssed forth from his Castle and appeared in their midst vociferating with loud voice and wild mein, long live the King and his great Chief Lecompton. . V 2. And the people were amazed, exclaim- irg, east this man forth from among us, saying, by this man's teaching, have we not lost the spoils of office, and hath not the cause of the Black Bepublicans triumphed to the utter destruction of the cause of the King in the land of Knox? 23. And Leoky the Harper bowed his head and wept, and with a pitiful voice) cried: : 24. Cast me not forth to the tendor mer oies of mine enemies, for the Black Republicans will have me not, nor will the Yellow Bepublicans fellowship with me, and if ye east me forth with the brand of infamy on my brow, "where shall I go T ' ,25. . And the hearts of the King's friends softened, and they saith with a voice of dis trust, since we brought ye from the land of Pennsylvsnia on probation, ye may tarry with us for the space of one year longer, knowing nevertheless, that in that time ye will have performed your mission, the utter destruction of the cause of the King In the land of Knox, as has come to pass in every land whsre ye have pitched your tent 26. Now, when the people had assembled themselves together in tho Castle, they chose from among the chiefs, John the Consul, to preside over them, and installed as Scribe, Baldwin the Benegade. . 27. Among the Chiefs who came from afar, were Samnel the War Horse, William tho Bologna Sausage Chief, Belden the Chief Prose cutor, Saffbrd the Senator, Prentiss the Chief Spy, and Mat the Martin, a stipendary in the Treasury Department in the land of Wash Ington. 28. Now all these Chieftaips, excepting SafTord the Senator, were in the pay of the King, and the people marvelled greatly why they were called from their posts to travel unto a far land to speak unto them. 29. Arid they murmured one to the other, saving, in the days of the good old King Hick. ory, these things would not have come to pass, for the old King would have Sworn by the Eternal, the man who leaves his post shall die. , 30. And when the people had ceased their murmuring, Matthew the Irritable,camo forth smiling, saying. 31. Behold I present to you the great Chief, Belden the I'rosecator, who nas been swiftly conveited from his heresies, and from following off the Little Giant, by a small parchment, with the King's sign manuel there. unto attached, making him the King's Attor ney over the people of the land of Northern Ohio. , - ' ' . 32. And the Chiof Prosecutor put forth his hand and commanded silence, lor the people murmured one with the other saying, wny should the King go forth in to the ranks of his enemies, and buy with the gold of office his Chief speakers I nave we none taitntui 10 tne cause of the King among us? S3. And when silence prevailed, tno ituei Prosecutor spake unto the people, saying, 34. In times gone by be spake unto a great people called by two names tne people Deinocratio.and the people Black republicans, but now find in the land, three, and asked by what name shall this third people be call ed ? ., 35. And Matthew the Irritable, cried with a voice of anguish, for the divisions among the people Democratic vexed mm sorely, call them the " dilapidated Democrats," and the face of John the Consul was seen to smile, for the name suited him to a T. 30. Then the Chief Prosecutor shook his curly locks, and wiped his flattened nose, say: ing, no, the name soundeth stale-" call them yellow Republicans 1" it vuiu uiy complexion best. 1 37. Again came forth Matthew the Irritable, loading by the nose Samuel the War Horse, sayiug,hearken unto my voice ye people of the land of Knox and give heed unto nry words, that ye may learn wisdom. - 38. This is the old War Horse, the fame of whose deeds have reached the remotest cor ners of the land of America. ' 39. So terrible were his dopredations in the land of Ohio, the people thereof beseighed the gates of the King, and would not suffer bim to rest in peace, until he hearkened unto their words. . 40. And the King commanded his head groomsman to journey with the Old War Horse to the green pastures in the land of Minnesota, and cast him loose among the Uall Breeds of that land. , , it And the head groomsman and the Old War Horse Journeyed unto the land of Minnesota, and the head groomsman, by command of the King, made the Old War Horse Governor over the Half Breeds of that land. .. 42. And In the space of six months thereafter, the Half Breeds of the land of Mirrnosota, assembling themselves together formed for themselves a Constitution, and knocked at the door of Congress, praying admissiou into the Union as a sovereign State, so mighty had been the ravages ot the Old War Horse. ' 4.1. And the King took compassion upon tho jjjf Breeds of the land of Minnesota, and gave uoln,01d War Horse sis thonsand dollars wtth 0'" Mtl ' city of Columbus, lnil of Ohio, fearing peradventure, lest tko iwcls of the Old War Horso should be toand kidriog ARw lhron r tlle with the de'iiriation W demolish the con- etruetkM thereof. v k .. . tt. Aad the peopto Pf the land or ivnox wondered mm with theotW saying, what hath this Pedigree of the Old W liV to do with the divisions among Use people ot' ,and' and as to the ruling of the Chief Lecom,'''87 ' 45. Again eame forth Matthew the IrriUb.'. and with a voice like unto the barking of doc, 'cried, - '". . -y- --415, Behold -the groat Bologna Sausage Chief, William the Sawyer, of the region of Hooppolee, in the land of Amjlaise. ,.,'.'.. 47. The lame of whose deeds, while hi the ftnuncila of the nation, vet extend over th j land of Columbia for great was the lnat thin among the canine rac of the lenf, and the maternal canines mourned tor tueir orst born, and refused to be comforted, for they were not. , 48. And the people of the land of Columbia rebelled, for their goods were exposed to the plunderer, so destructive was the war of the butcher, that not a watch dog in the land was left, as a monument to the satiated stom. ach of the great Bologna Chief. 49. And they drove him forth from among them, and he became a wanderer in the land of his brethren. 50. And his fame followed him whichsoever wv be went, and now. within a circle of three score and ten miles, the dogs are fearful of showing their laces, less perad venture they go the way of their departed kindred, 61. Then, the people of the land of Knox, who were assembled at the Castle, in the City of Vernon, arose to their feet and departed to their homes, with disgust, for they came net together to hearken unto the exploits of the War Horse and of the Bologna Chieif but to liston unto the words of the friends of the King, and to give heed unto the reasons why the Chief Lecompton should rule over the peo ple of the land of Kansas. 52. Among the Chieftains of the tana of Knox, whose nsmes were not placed on tecord in the first Chapter, were Montgomery the Sheriff, and Cotton the Scattering Candi date. 53. Now both these Chieftains were mighty in their way, and had aided powerfully in pla th Kin? noon the throne. 5t In the first year of the reign of James the second, Montgomery tne Dnenu, journey a nntnthAland of Kansas, and dwelt therein, KS. And on his return to the land of Knox, he manfully stepped forth and declared for the cause of the sovereignty 01 u v!", and joined the forces or the Utile uianu . mighty Nimrod, in hunting after places within the gift of the people, was as a pendulum vihratinor between the forces undor the King hi.

In the Psinesville (Ohio) Tdegraph we find some interesting selections from the report of the School Commissioner of that State that report are embodied many lotters from the various school examinors which give many amusing instances of the ignorance of those applying for the privilege of teaching "the vounor idea howio shoot."

BY HEI'Klf KOBKS QBAVXS. , . , , , in a crowded teiio- IV was a Kiuuiujr iww, ment houso, low, narrow, and unwholesome, and a pale-faced child was its only Inmate. She via a confirmed invalid you might trace that in her hollow cheeks and the strange un natural lustre of her large blue eyes the flame of life was burning low on the altar of her childish being, yet here she was alone. The old arm chair is which she reclined with one or two pillows, and a rude pine box was the sole support of her tiny blue veined feet. There was no carpet on the mouldering floor, and in, more than one place door and window had yielded to the remorseless brand or ao- cay, and presented a most dilapidated aspect. Yet all the scanty furniture was arranged as neatly as possible, and there was" even some faint attempts at taste, as in a bit or gaily-colored chintz spread over the child's footstool, and a solitary flower placed in the win dow seat, where the sunbeams could touch its emerald leaves. That flowor 1 it had been poor Katy's companion long. Its royal beauty and luxu riance seemed strangely out of place in tho squalid low-ceiled room, yet it grew and flourished in the velvet sod of Bendemee's stream. And little Katy lay back in ner comfortless chair and looked at the splendid rose which quivered like a a ruby drop among leaves, and watched the sunlight writirg it golden message on the crimson folds of the blossom with a vague feeling of wonder, It is so strange that the radiant sun, whose glory lay on marble pillars and stately dwel lings far away, should come to peep into her lonely room. " Is that you, Jamie ? " said she softly, as the door opened, and a boy of twelve came in. "Yes. Do youfeol any better, Katy ? Are you tired of being left alone ?" And the boy looked tenderly into her blue eyes, and parted the auburn' hair from her forehead, with a loving touch. . " Not very, but there is such a weary ach ing arouad my heart, and sometimes it seems all on fire. How cold your hand feels, Jam. ie?" . , .... : . "Nevermind, Katy, I've been sawing wood and earned a whole quarter, and I'm going to lay it out in apples and oranges to sell down town. I'll make a mint of mony, and then won't we have a good supper when mother comes home from work ? I shouldn't won der if we have a bit of cake and a bunch of grapes over and above the medicine the dls. pensary doctor ordered for you." .,... Katy smiled and shooked her head, as deprecating the piece of extravagance. " Yes, we will, Katy," resumed hor brother; "tain't often we taste anything but dry bread and cheese,, and I haven't forgotten that it's your birth-day, sis you're ten years old to-day. Besides you need something to put a shsde of color into those cheeks ; the doctor said you must have something to tempt your appetite." lie bent down to kiss the marble forehead as he spoke. " How lovely the rose is, to be sure 1 It's almost as good as company to you, Katy, isn't it? Are you willing I should leave you alone for a little while, dear?" " Yes, Jamie, I don't mind it much she answered, with a deep, weary sigh, "but be back as soon as possible, please." And her wistful, hollow eyes watched him from the room with that earnest, startling look which we only find beneath the very shadow of Death. Down the pier all was confusion and uproar busy passengers hurrying from newly arrived boats turbid waters dashing and rolling against mossy posts swaying crowds and loud dissonant voices, created a small bcdlifti around the docks, and littlo Jamie wandered around with his board of fruit, feeling Very lonely and bewildered; ' He had piled up the golden orarfgeS wilh their Sunniest side upward ', he, had polished the red-checked apples until they shone like mirrors, yet nobody stopped to bay "Csrrisge, sir ? " " Take yon to tho As. tor ' House ? " " Up Broadway in a ' twink, ling ma'am I", r .. r " Ere's rou . 'Erald, Times. . Latest steam, er from Europe 1 Have a paper sir ? " Poor Jamie! amid all this tumult, what chance had he of being noticed ? He had picked out the very. Same bunch of grapes that he intended for Katy, in Taylor's win dow, as M came by--a plump, apoplectic bunch dangling from a crimson thread, where the sunshine lay full on the parple bloom and ametbystie shadows lurked among its fullness of fruitage. Just at present the tempting morsel seemed vury far off to Jamie' imaginations. ; : Determined not to give ay without vigorous effort, however, Jamie stepped bold ly forward to the first person he saw, and held up his wares with a modest, "Buy , an an orangesir?" Now. as ill-fortune would have it, this possible easterner was a fat, ilt-teinpered, pussy old man, whose cholcr had just been intlamod to (ever heat by the inadvertent descent of a heavy .wiled boot Leal on a favorite corn. At all tmcs he considered tarange boys a nuisance, but jutt now his slender quota of patience was entirely exhausted, tie aimed a mattered oath and fufiooa blow at the fair-haired boy and rtished past to eaten a in-treating omnibus. - - Jamie sprang aside Jusf 'fa? dm i escape Urs brutal blow, Wit descended full upon hH stock lii Irade', scattering kf rles and Of-atiees far and wide. ' lle'wasstandinr' close ( tbe p'r, and most 1 of bis fruit flsw inU t he-water w bere-i went bobbing up and down wilh the tide, in a most tantalizing manner, few apples rolled under the feet of the crowd, but it was impossible to secure them' Jamie's first sensation was that of indignant wrath : the blood rushed in angry torrents to his cheek and brow, and he shook his small fist impotently in the direction, whieh the fat man had taken. , ,. 1, 1 But in an instant a feeling of forlorn wretch edness came over him no tempting bite ' of cake no purple grapes for poor Kitty per haps, not even a supper, for he knew that his mother's wages must go towards the rent of tho room! , They doponded entirely on his exertion for their evening meal and the sun was declining in the west already. The reflection was too much for his boyish heart, and he was sobbing violently, when' a gontle hand was laid on his ' shoulder, tie started up, and before him stood a pleasant gentleman, who .bad watched the 'whole transaction. " There, my boy," he said, laying a silver dollar' in the boy's hand; " that will sot yru up again. No thanks the money was inten ded for some piece of extravagance, and ' I choose to use it thus. ' But remember this my boy ; when you are pushed down in the race, don't stop to rub your bruises, but pick yourself up and start again 1 " " Jamie thought the smile with which this was said the pleasautcst and kindest expression that ever brightened a human face ; but ere he could stammer out his thanks, the gen tleman was gono. " 1 ' ' The boy started for home with a light and joyous heart, stopping to purchase the cher ished morsels of fruit and cake on his way. The gentleman walked leisurly bp Broad: war. Seeing in a bookstore tne utie 01 a newly published work that he had much de sired to read, his footsteps involuntarly turn ed in that direction j but In an instant he went on, buttoning up his pockets, and murmuring to himself, with a smile : " Can't af ford it. one luxury a day ought to be enough.'! There was a vast difference between man arid child, in their capacities for enjoyment,- but both were happy that night, The supper was a joyful ceremony in the garret room that evening. The grapes pleased Kate's delicate appetite to a charm, and the story of the dollar was listened to with inter est. '! l wish I could see the kind gentleman," said the child earnestly ; " I would give him my besutiful rose, ifhe liked flowers." She looked strangely beautiful that. . night, her head resting on her brother's shoulder, while Jamie fed her with the juicy berries, one by one, as bird might feed its young. ; ',' Why, bow bright the color of .your cheek is," cried Jamie, "I believe you have been stealing the red shadows from your favorite ruse. Mother I am sure Katy will get well.' The next morning; while yet the golden spear of sunrise was in rest among the purple hills, Katy died. , .. . ...; The moss of twenty years bed gathered upon Katy's head-stone the violets of twen-tyjeara had blossomed over her grave and it was glorioms autiim'fl day, whose light streamed along the busy thoroughfare, and shone on the magnificent marble erection devoted to the extensive operations of the cel ebrated Bank of K . A splended carriage, cushioned with velvet and glittering brightly in the sunshine, was drawn up opposite the door, waiting to take the great banker to bis palatial home. , The spirited horses, foaming and prancing could hardly be curbed, and the driver looked wonderlngly towards the door, and marvelled why his usually punctual master did not come. , .. , Mr. Arnet stood in a little olllco opening from the main bank, where the long rows of clerks were bending over their desks. He bad bten looking over a little pocket-book which he always carried about him, for some note or bill, and as he' turned its pages, a bit of folded paper dropped out, The bunker opened, it, and although wont J years tad deadened the edge of his sorrow tears rtfshed to his eyes as they roll on the contents. A pencil sketch, rude ana unnmsn- ed, of a meek browed child lock of soft brown hair and that perfumed dual crimson rose those were deafer to the' banker than his vaults of yellow gofd. " . . J " As ho looked at them, a tremulous voice without arrested his ear. "I would be glad if you weuldbuy, gentlemen, for my need is very great, 1 have a sickly daughter at home who must t fed." ' "Be off Shout ytfur brwinese," was th sharp rejoinder. " 1 won't let you in Don't yon see you are not Wanted here 7 " ' ' The voice seemed to strike a repohsiv chord hi the rich man's heart ; surely he had heard its mild tones' before. He partially opened the door,' and called out sternly : ; "Mr. Walters, shew that gentleman in, if vou please."1 ' '" TU abashed clork obeyed, not without surprise, and the bowed old man, with a bas ket of Strawberries, came numuy into we private room of the great banker. ,1. , '.

The old man moved his pale lips as though be would speak : the banker resumed instant- ly., , " I am alone in the world ; my mother is dead, and my little sister, whose last words were of your kindness, has gone years ago to her eternal home.
