j was on the verge of the miserable court where
'his tenants herded like beasts in their kenneU
he was there with blank book in his hand,
when death laid hit hand upon him.
He was carried home to his splendid man
sion. He was laid upon a bed with a satin
coverlet. The lawyer, the relations, and the
preacher wero sent for. All day long he lay
without speech, moving only his right band,
at though in the aet of counting money. .
At midnight he spoke.
He asked for a dollar, and they brought
one to him, and lean and gaunt he sat up in
his death-bed, and clutched it with the grip
of dea'li.
A shaded lamp stood on the table near the
silken bed. Its light fell faintly around the
splendid room, win re chairs and carpets and
mirrors, silken bed and lofty ceiling all said
gold as plainly as lips can say it.
Hi hair and eyebrows were white. Hi
cheeks sunken. nd his lips thin and surround
ed by wrinkles that indicated the pattern of
avarice. As he sat up in his bed with his
neck bared and the silken coverlet wrapped
about his lean frame, his white hair and eye
brows contrasted with his wasted and wrink
led face, he looked like a ghost; and though
there was life in h:'s leaden eye all that life
was centered on the dollar which lie gripped
in his clenched fist.
I His wife, a pleasant-faced matronly woman,
was seated at the foot of the bed. His son. a
young man of twenty one, dressed in the last
touch of fahion, sat bv the lawyer. The
lawyer sat before the table, pen in hand, and
0j f;pecta;les on his nose. There was a large
r,arcUI1(.nt ..A before him.
"Do you think he will make a will" asked
I his son.

Oh! holy dollar, object of his life-long pur
suit, what comfort hast thou for bini now in
his pain of death?
Al length the dying man survived and dic
tated his will. It was strange to see the mo
ther and son and lawyer muttering, and some
times wrangling beside the bed of dea'h. Al!
the while the testator clutched the dollar in his
right hand.
When the will was being read the preacher
came, even he wito held the pastoral charge
fairly shrieked the dying man, shaking the
hand which clenched the dollar, at the preach-.
head.
The preacher hastily turned over the leaf,
and did uot reply.

The preacher who had blundered through

He had a son named Enoch, who at an early
age manifested a remrrkable talent for music,
which the father cherished and cultivated with
care. In the same village resided an antiqua
ted maiden lady, who having no cares ot her
own to occupy her time and attention, mag
nanimously devoted herself to those of her
neighbors. One morning she called at the
Doctor's and requested to see him. When

the lady exclaimed:
"La! now, there, why it is fiddle!"
"Do not judge rashly," said the DoDtor,
giving his son a wink, "wail until you hear

Taking the hint, Enoch played Old Hun-;

it looked like a fiddle, but then who had ever

Edmu.nd Kean. While playing at Exeter,

It was late before General Lane arrived at

We meeting convened to hear him had !-
ready become somewhat impatient. It is due
:to him to pay, that the delay was occasioned
ny no aruit on hn part. He had spoken at
I ranklin during thedav, and could not

true intent and meaning of the

braska Bill; and upon the Constitution itself.
I lie was not here for the purpose of deba
jting abstractions; but to discuss the real con
dition and circumstances of nn oppn-ssed
people. The Admi 'istration had told the
people of Kansas, that they should have the
right to make their own laws; frame their own
institn'ions of govern nent; establish heir own
Constitution. That it ws oppression for the
General Government even to control them in
I the free exercise of this right, and ought not
j to be tolerated. In the belief of these liberal
; views and principles, many of ns, said be, cut
i loose from old associations, left our friends
and homes in the States, and sought new as

b -ca-jse we were sincere ourselves. But mark
the rer.uk.
The election for Delegate to Congress came
on. All seemed to b- proceeding fiirly until
the day before the election, when it was seen
that thousands of the people of the border
counties of Missouii were in Kansas. These
foreigneis, armed each with a gun, bowie
knife, and a brace of revolvers, had come
into Kansas to elect our Delegate to Congress,
to say who should represent us. And accor
dingly on the next day they took possession of
the polls, ami elece 1 Whitfield, whom the

i Pellt,on3 wer offre and with what
ay on it i When the election for members to the Gen
lt rile'ersl Assembly came, with it came again the
eueci :
hordes of Missourians, and again swept the
election. The Legislature was not on! v chosen
!by Missourians. but some of them, citizens of
Missouri. But it might be asked: Why did
i Herder give certificates to those who were
: thus elected? Tho answer is a plain one.
1 Gov. Reeder did not give the contents sufficient
time to begin proceedings. The time allowed
was only five days; and if that time had been
extended but a single day longer, the whole
character of the Legislature would have het n
changed. Wherever there was a content it
was successful, and would have been so in
nearly every ensa. had sufficient time been
aloTfed for that purpose.
But who is Governor Reeder? What have
1 the people of Kansas to do with him? Is he
tnot the appointee of Frank Pierce? And are
tne people or Kansas to loe their riifht of
. . .. . ,- . &
sen -government oy ins act because he ave
certilicates of eief.ion to men chosen by the
people of Missouri to make laws for them?
And does it lay in the moirh of Frank Pierce
to say the people of Kansas are to be stopped
by the oversight, or illegal act of his own
agent? Yet this is the ground occupied by
the Administration. Frank Pierce appointed
G-ivernor Reeder. and he gave certificates .f
election to men chosen by the people of Mis
souri, to make laws f.,r the people of Kansas;
mi when these complain, ihey are told that
they are estopped to deny the rijht of tiiis
Legislature, because Reeder gave certificates
to its members.
The "people of Kanas again resorted to
humble petitions. But their petitions were
again unheard, or. at least, unheeded; and this
Legislature, elected by the ueor.le ,,f M-:.c.,.iri
i or purposes whohy foreign to the interests

j the infamous election law passed by the bogus

I without a paral'el in the annals of even siv-
