A Lore Story.
BY MAGQ1B STEWABT.
Sweet Flowers grew by the streamlet,
Where first I learned to love I
' The song-birds trilled 'mong the branches,
And the sun shone bright abovo:
Light zephyrs played with the leaflets,
And fanner my happy brow,
While the stream ran on with its murmur
'Neath the waving willow bough.
Oh I my life was full of gladness,
Pure blisj without alloy I
The meny notes of the song-birds,
Were echoes of my joy I
To sit by thy side and listen
Thy voico I I hear it now .
While the stream ran un wiih its murmur
'iVeath the waving willow bough.
I've sat by tho ripling sireamlct
In those dreamy summer da s.
While Fancy and Uopu were singing
Their sweet dulusivo lays
Of Love and a happy Future,
No cure to shade my brow I
Whilo the stream ran on with its murmur
'Neath the waving willow bough.
I often read in tho twilight
Sweet "Memory's tablets" o'er,
And sigh, that I'll meet thy greeting
' And wondrous smile no more.
"Thou hast learned to lovo another,"
To greet me coldly now,
While tho stream runs on with its murmur
'Neath tho waving willow bough.
Tho flowers are dead by tha streamlet,
And hushed its musical chime,
The birds sing not 'mong the branches,
They've flown to a sunnier clime ; . i
An. my heart's young love has vanished,
For "thou lovest another now,"
And I'll list no mora to the murmur
'Nouth the waving willow bough.
L'Shfl sleeps by the rippling streamlet
Whore the dewy grass-blades wave ; ''
And the birds ring sweetly above her,
And violets bloom o'er her grave ;
1 The winds moan loud 'mong tho branckes,
Yet thoy cannot disturb her now,
And the stream runs on with its murmur
'Neath the waving willow bough.
We folded tho snow v grass-shroud
Over the still cola breast,
And wept o'er tho young lifo blighted,
Now free from wild unrest,
O'er tho 'wreck of her heart's rich vonturo '
Yet, "she is happy now,"
We road by the musical murmur
'Neath tho waving willow bough.

The Thunder Storm.
BY OBOnOE D. ritBNTICE.
I never wag a man of foeblo cour
age. Thore are but few scones of
eithor human or olemontal strife, up
on which I have not looked with a
brow of daring. I have stood in
the front of battle, when tha whirl
wind wan vending tho oaks from their
rocky diCTa, and scattering them to
tha clouds. I have seen there things
with a swelling soul, that know not,
that recked not of danger ; but there
is sonothing in the thunder's voico
that makes mo tromble like a child.
1 have tried to overcome this unman
ly weakness. I have called pride to
my aid ; I have sought to strengthen
moral courage in tke lensons of phi
losophy, but it avails me nothing.
At tho first low moaning of tha dis
tant cloud, my heart shrinks, quivers
and dios within me. ' 1
My involuntary dread of thundor
had its origin in an incident that oo
ourred when I was a boy of ten years.
I had a cousin, a girl of the name age
of myHolf, who hud beou the constant
om p dh ( o n of ,my .childhood.
ifltrange that o,ftor,; tho lapse of ho
many yearn, that countenance should
be so ftt'tniliartd me 'I can see the
bright young creature, hur eyes flanl
4ngliko boautiful gem, heri'reo locks
ttirenmlUK an if in joy upon tho rising
ijttlo ; her , cheeks glowing liko a ru
bf through a1 wreath' of .transparent
snow. Her voice had tho melody and
ioyotiinens of a bird's, and when sho
bounded over the woodland hill, or
fresh green valley, shouting i glad
'answer to evory voice of nature, and
clapping her little hands in the very
fosUcy of yonngexistonce, she look
ed as if breaking away a freod night
ingale from earth, and going off where
11 thing are beautiful and happy liko
Jier. I r-)h- f; ! i - -r .
. 1 It was: morning in the middle of
Ang nif. The Utile girl had fbesit
...... .kJt,' .J!l.""
passing some days at ray father's
house, and she was now to return
h'omu. Her path lay across fields,
and I gladly became the companion
of her walk. 1 never knew a hummer
mornini' more ' beautiful and still.
Only one cloud was visible, and that
seemed as pure, and white, and Paoe;
I'ul, as if it had been the incense smoke
of some burning censor of the skies.
The leaves' liiing silent in the woods,
tho waters in tho bay forgot their un-i
dulatiug, tho flowerB : were bending
their heads as if -dreaming of the
rainbow and dew, and the whole at
mosphere, was of ,fiuch a soft and lux
urious' Bweetness that if'seemed a
cloud of roses scattered down by the
hand of Peri, from the far oil' gulden
of Paradise. The groen earth and
blue sea lay abroad in. their bound
lessness, ' and the peaceful sky bung
over them. Tho little creature at my
side was in a delirium of happiness,
and her clear, sweet voice came ring
ing upon the air as often us she heard
the note of some fuvorito bird, or
found some strange and lovely flow
er in her frolic wanderings. The
unbroken and almost supernatural
tranquility of the day continued un
til noon. Then for the first timo,
the , indication of an approaching
tempest was manifest. Ovor the
6timniit of a mountain, at tho dis
tance of about a mile, the folds of a
largo cloud became suddenly visible,
and at the same instant, a hollow roar
came down on the winds as if it had
been the sound of waves in a rocky
cavern. The clouds rollod on like a
banner unfolded upon the air, but
still tha atmosphere was as calm and
tho leaves as motionless as before,
and thore was not even a quiver upon
tho sleeping waters to tell of the com
ing hurricane. To escape the tem
post was impossible. As the only re
sort, we fled to a mighty oak that
stood at the foot of a tall and nigged
precipice. Here we remained and
gazed almost breathlessly upon the
clouds marshalling themselves like
bloody giants in tho sky. The thun
der was not frequent ; but every burst
was so fearful that the young creature
who stood besido mo shut her eyes
convulsively, clung with desperate
strength to my arm, and shrieked as
if her bo art would break. In a lew
minutes tho storm was upon us.
During the height of its fury, the
littlo girl lifted her finger towards the
preoipico that towered ovor us.. I
looked, and saw an amethystine peak 1
and the noxt moment the clouds
opened, tho rocks tottered to their
foundations, a roar like the groan of
the universe filled the air, and 1 telt
myself blinded, and thrown, I knew
not whither. How long I rmainod
insensible, I cannot tell, but when
consciousness returned, tho violence
of tho tempest was abating, the roar
of tho winds was dying in the tree
tops, and the deep tones of tho thunder-cloud
came in fainting murmurs
from tho eastern hills. I rose and
lookod tremblingly and almost deli
riously around. Sho was there, the
dear idol of my infant love, stretched
out on tho green earth. After a mo
ment of irresolntion, 1 wont up and
looked upon her. The handkerchiof
upon her neok was slightly ront, and
a single dark spot upon her bosom,
told where the pathway of her death
had boon.
At first I clasped her to my breast
with a cry of agony, and then laid
her down and gazed upon her face
almost with feelings of calmness.
Her bright disheveled ringlets clus
tered around her brow;. the look of
terror had faded from her lips, and in
fant smiles wore pictured there ; the
red rose tingo upon her cheek was
lovely as in lifo, and I pressed it to
my own, tho fountains of tears were
oponed and I wept as if my heart were
water, I have but a dim recollection
of what followed j I know that I re
mained weeping and inotionloss till
the ooming twilight, and I was taken
tenderly by tho hand and led away
where I saw tho countenances of pa
rents arid sisters. J '
; Many years have gone by on the
wing of light and. shadow, but, tho
rnnos, I, havo portrayed still come
over me at times, with terrible dis
tinctues'.' Tho oak yet stands at the
base of tho precipice, but its limbs
are black and dead, and tho hollow
trunk looks upward to the sky, as if
calling to the clouds for drink, as an
emblem of rapid decay,1 One' year
ago! visited the spot,' and the thoughts
of by-gone years came; mournfully

lightnings slumber in the folds of the
rainbow cloud, and where the sun
light waters aro broken only by the
storm breath of omnipotence.
My readers will understand why I
shrink in terror from thunder. Even
thfj consciousness of security is no
relief to me my fears have assumed
the nature of an instinct, and ee'emi
indeed a part of my existence. '
. A God Forsaken Party.
Never, since the organization of
tur,' government, did then exists
party so entirely demoralized and be
reft of all virtue and all sympathy for
virtue, as is now the so called Demo
cratic party. Having, in an evil hour,
taken upon itself the propagandism
aiid championship of human slavery,
by the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise the "seven spirits of evil"
seem to have taken possession of the
entire organization. From that hour
it has given itself up to the manage
ment and upholding of every crime,
national, social or political, that has
chosen to seek its protection. It has
declared war against religion, liberty,
temperance, and every movement
belting to improve aud elevate man.
If is the recognized ark of refuge into
which fillibust'ii's, land pirates and
all promoters of mischiel lice lor aid
and protection. It is the party relied
on iu tho perpetration of every na
tional evil It is the fomenter of wars
abroad and discords at home. It
seems to aim at a monopoly of all the
wrong doing in the land. If, says
the Kennebec Journal, white men are
to be manacled and imprisoned ' for
exercising free speech in our territo
ries, the Democratic party is the or
ganization which is expected to en
force the barbarous edict. If poor
negroes are to be reduced to bondage
on the same sacred soil, the Demo
cratic parly is the agency to do it.
If the degraded and abused 6lave es
capes to free soil, and is pursued by
his revengeful master, tho Democratic
party with its minions and officials,
stands ready to hunt him down and
send him back. If a blood stained
villain invades a friendly nation with
a host of fellow pirates, and lays
waste tho country in indiscriminate
arson and is at last compelled to flee
for his lifo, he is sure if he can get
back to this land, to nnd a word from
tho presses and tho orators of the
Democratic party. If a Supreme
Court, torgottul alike ot its own die
nity and of natural justice, chooses
to travel beyond its record, and nro
nounco extra-judicial decrees which
strike at the very root of liberty, and
disfranchise a whole race at one blow.
tho Democratic party stands ready to
applaud the tyrannical edict, and to
adopt its odious essence into its very
platform of principles. If a reckless
and dishonest city officer chooses to
imperil the lives and property of a
million ot people rather than to sub
mit to the just requirements of law,
tho Democratic party will countenance
and sustain him in his robellion. If
a State, cursed and bowed down
with slavery, shows any disposition
to get rid of the, incubus, tho Demo
cratic party it once discourages find
frowns upon the attempt, and preach
es the doctrine that freedom is not
better than slavery, In short, thoro
is no public measure which looks to
tho amelioration of man, which takes
the side of law and order, which in
vokes the aid of the philanthropist,
there is no measure of this kind,
which is not suro to moot resistance
and opposition at the hands of the
Democratic party. As an organiza
tion; it seems cursed with1 a moral
obliquity which prevents its taking a
fair view of anypublio quostion, and
which' by an irrosistable faUlity,
drives it to espouse wrong, liver
since Us affiliation with tho "Border
Ruffians" of Missouri, it has bocome
inoculated with their crimes, adopted
their vicious creed,'", and has l'uirlv
earned a title to their lawless name.

... j Good Sense. .4
A very sensible exchango says the
mania to publish a large newspaper,
without any regard to the amount of
business te support it, is one of the
prevailing evils of the times. We
say evil, because it is that and noth
ing elso. A paper of large dimen
sions inadequately supported, is not
merely a tax upon the publisher, but
is, in varieus ways, unprofitable to
the community. We seldom have a
mail in which we do not roceivo one
or more papers which might be re
reduced in size to the mutual benefit
of the publisher and , reader. , And
what would be for the benefit of tho
publisher and reader would also be to
the advantage of advertisers. A
paper filled with prospectuses of dol
lar weeklios flashy monthly magazines
and 'dead' patent medicines, is al
most usolsss to the legitimate, paying
advertiser, for no one thinks ef wa
ding, through its stale columns to
find anything now. We have thought
that the evil wo notice. would have
corrected itself before now,, but. so
far from diminishing, it seems on the
increase and probably nothing but
the absolute death of no inconsider
able number of the barely, liv,ing es
tablishments will brintr1 newsnaner

The silly pride of essaying to make

The Atchison Difficulty.:
. Two important facts are ettabllshed ;
by this Atchison difficulty ,
v.tt,' That the day of Missouri inva
sions is not yet over. ' ' ' ' '
2d, That there it still'one place fa
Kanzas whive free speech is forcibly
denied. .: ; ,
, How we are as strongly desirous,
of peace and repose as onj can be.
Nono would deprecate a renewal of
bloedy strife more than we. Our
exertions are always, and ever have .
been, thrown in this behalf. But our
manhood revolts at the idea of tame
ly submitting to open insult, or an
infringement of those rights which
we hold to. " be inviolable sacred. ..
Knowing well how essential' it is to .
the peace and prosperity of Kanzas
that tho .hatchet 'should be forever
buried, and that we should look to the
ballot box for a peaceful arbitrament
of the vexed questions here at issue,
we yet have not been schooled' in
that Utopian belief which teaches
quiet submission to oppression and
tyranny, 1
We see at Atchison a successful
attempt made by invaders, to prevent
a number of citizens from meeting
in convention, and wo see a fatal
blow struck at freedom of speech.
Now then it behooves us nay, it is ,
our imperative duty to vindicate
these inalienble rights, forfeit our
claim to the title of men. Better, far
better, that we Bhould be the serfs' of
some imperial Czar, than that we
should truckle basely to usurpation,
or complacently look upon tho vio
lation of principle and right. It is a
matter of littlo import whether Jw
Lane speak in Atchison or not, but
it is a matter of vital interest to every
citizen of Kanzas whether he shall
not have the liberty of speaking there,
and be protected in that liberty. "
The insults to which that band of
Free State men were subjected were
given to the entire Free State party,
and the blow struck at Col. Lanh
struck every freeman in onr midst.
It remains, then, for the Free State
party to resent these high-hand in-;
suits, and vindicate eur down-trodden
rights. Nor shall we rest content till
lAst has spoken in Atchison and a
Free State convention has been al
lowed to meet and deliberate without
interference from home or abroad!-
Unless we greatly mistake the temper
and spirit of the free State party, we
speak not only its sentiments, but in
dicato and foreshadow its resolution:

A Domestic Row.
Morton, the editor of the Nebraska
Xews, thus describes a domestic row
and subsequent reconciliation, of
which he was a witness :
Coming down tho Missouri, near
Bean Lake, between Weston and St.
Joe, our boat was hailed by a woman
on shore. . The officers of tho craft,
with their usual gallantry, '.'rounded
to," hoaded up stream, and stopped.
Tho lady informed them that her
"duds and cooking consarns" were
all packed in the cabin hard by, ready
for removal, and that it was hor desire
to take passage with them down the
river. Immediately the duds were
under way, and fast coming on desk ;
when a man plowing in an adjacent
field, was soen to drop the reins, and
mount the horse, and come charging
and yelling towards the boat. The
captain waited until he had arrived,
and then puffing and blowing, said :'
"Ann, whar on earth are : you goin
tOW?"'" . ... ' 1 ')' , ' ." .;. :t
Said she, -"Joab, I allow to go
where I ain't to be cuffed, and curted,
and mauled evory day, by tuch a bruto
as you are.";. ;' 1 '.
Said he, in a very melancholy tone
"Ann, farewoll."
Said ; she, doubtfully "Joab,' If
you'll treat me better, I'll say and live
with you until the breath it oloan out
of my innocent body."., v
And Joab promised that he would,
and that he noped to be 'eternally
dog-on-ed to thunder if he wouldn't
pay tho captain for landing, and treat
all around, if she would just stay,' and
so the stayed. And the last seen of
this nearly separated couple,' they
were affectionately embraomg each
