Bear him comrades, to his grave Never over one more brave Shall the prairie grasses weep, In the ages yet to come, When the millions in our room,
What we sow in years, shall reap.
Bear him up the icy hill, With the Kansas frozen still And his noble heart, below. And the land he came to till With a freeman's thews and will,
And his poor hut roofed with snow!
One more look of that dead face, Of liis murder's ghastly trace! One more kiss, Oh, widowed onel Lay your left hand on his brow, Lift your right hand up, and vow
That his work shall yet be dono.
Patience, friends! The eye of God Every path by Murder trod Watches, lidless, day and night And the dead man in his shroud, And his widow weeping loud,
And our hearts, are in sight.
Every deadly threat that swells With the roar of gambling hells, Every brutal jest and jeer, Every wicked thought and plan Of the cruel heart of man,
Though but whispered, He can hear!
You in suffering, they in crime, Wait the just award of time, Wait, the vengeance that is due Not in vain a heart shall break. Not a tear for Freedom's sake
Fall unheeded: God is true.
While the flag with stars bedecked Threatens where it should protect, And the law shakes hands with Crime, What is left you but to wait, Match your patience to your fate,
And abide the better time?
Patience, friends! The human heart Everywhere shall take your part. Everywhere for you shall pray On yoursidc are nature's laws, And God's life is in the cause
That you suffer for to-da/.
Well to suffer is divine Pass the watchword down the line, Pass the countersign: "endure," Not to him who rashly dares, But to him who nobly bears,
Is the victor's garland sure.
Frozen earth to frozen breast, Jjay out slain one down to rest Lay hira down in hope and faith, And above the broken sod, Once again, to Freedom's God,

the farm BOY.
Harry Wobd was one of those unfortunate boys, tiriffi are always "getting into scrapes." He was always on the eve of exploding with suppressed laughter in thf meeting house, when »he minister'. eye, or his mother's or Squire Pew's turned on him with a look *of severity and disgust that "nearly Ctit him iD two," as tie afterwards declared in confider ce to Mat Lawyer, his bosom friend. Harry's rno'ber was a widow,- woman of high spirits.' st.ong intellict and: noble heart bu/ in -bite of these good qualities Harry ran tavay irum his home, and made an unsuccessful effort#t6 become a Sailor. After Wearing ont his clothes, sleeping under Wagi ^s :u the good city of Boston', and starving everywhere,he made up his mind to rtturn home. He appeared at the cottage gate with a quaking heart his mother espied him from the window attempting to rise, she stink back in her cfeair fafo and helpless in h£r joy. With returning strength, catire a firiiff resolution to the mbth6r's heart. The lad hung about the yard for hours, and no notice was taken of him when' night cam*), his anguish, remorse aAtf prM6' still l&ftt jvjm from his mother's fefet. He felt that
had sinned beyond forgiveftess he had met fern mother's look an* although it was not stern1, there seemed to him an awful majesty in it. He' slept ift the woodhotas5 that night the next day entered the house, and asked his mother's pardon it was granted, but no new.* clothes were given him, hntil he had earned them. After this, Harry was exemplary fofr six months, then his love of fun and advetftui'e led him into multitudinous small troubles. His mother at length concluded to bind hitti out to Squire Pew, who was a wealthy farmer he had been a schoolmate ot Mr. Wood's. When the five talents of the latter bad hewed him out no fortune, but rather had seemed to lead him to a drunkard's graae, William Pew was fast ascending in the scale of respectability ond wealth. He had once secretly hoped that his friend's betrothed would become his own wife perhaps it was faith in this old partiality tlwfc led Mrs. Wood to place her son with Squire Pew. She died soon after, and S her death the first arrow smote Harry's heart. He had suffered before, but not with the sickly despair that came over him now. Squire Pew and his wife, who had ever been prejudiced against him on account of his boyish pranks, now treated
him as ft serva'nt. His generous, affectionate heart met ffnly stabs in his ungeififit home WuSVing that he was hard to nMnage, Ohty tli& h'artfe'gt dfid stefftest ttfnes directed him .to his duties he neVe'r hetfrd h&w his mother's Cordial laugh at his nonsense, and never read in her moistened eye, approbation of his sometimes noble actions.* As Squire Pew and his wife read in the dejected bearing Of Harrys the success of their management, they persevered in their sytstem. True, Harry's black eyes were occasionally uplifted with a fiery flush a'A'd a wild, bitter smile passed over his lip but he always checked his speech. Often they found him In an attitude of intense tho when he was roused from this to attend to his farm-labor, he obeyed with «Q.rt of a calm defiant energy. 'Sri'*
One morning Mr. and Mrs. Pew arose and went first to the family kitchen as usual. It was winter, and Harry had built no fire they sought him every where, but he had escaped. He had broken from the rein that crushed all the blossoms in his wayward soul. It lackvd two years yet to his freedom.
Squire Petf took it, and wrung it hard. "I believe I wai a l&ttd hard with you," he said, "hut I thought it was necessary." "Probably," was answered, "but in my fii'tot'cdtirsi With the world, I have learned that kindness has a mighty power over the worst nature it is oAfnipoltefit ofer a generous heart/' The t#6'mec descended to the parlors. After Mr. and Mi's. Pew bad Mt/ Mrs. Wood exclaimed, laying h6r showy haWd off her btwband's shoulder, "Why Ha'rry afce tlioaQ' the people you vterd'botand to?" "Yes, $6t." "And now you are such a distinguished lawyer!" said his wife, archly then she laughingly covered her face, as her husband gave her a look that said, "Don't be Vain little' wife!" "Well," she said, looking up quite earnestly, "it is your living with them that has made you so very kind and considerate in your manner tcr tfae' poor peCple' thaStyoto deal with. I always notice, Harry, that you treat poor people so beautifully* I am as proud of you as if you were a king, when 1 see a poor man approach jew* for I know that your smile will cheer hfm, and that your counsel vrtll brighten hfe lot ik' soibe Way, even if his business does not turn out quite as well as he expected." "Ah, hubh'l little Atmsetose Harry Wood replied, but his dark eyes tobked with iiifinite affection, into the sweet face that was raised to his.
'THE UNION, THE UNION IN
S
Fifteen years after, Squire Pew and bis lady paid Boston a visit. Ihey were walking in one of the finest streets. "Upon my word," said Mra. Pew, "there is a young 'un that looks as Harry Wood used to."
So he does!" returned the Squire. By the way, Molly, I should like to set eyes on that rascal. I'll warrant if he's living, he's an awful loafer, just like his father.— I always felt as if he would drink himself to death!" "Yes, I always thought so," said Mrs. Pew. "Wouldn't he feel mean, William, if he should meet us face to face?" "I reckon he would responded the Squire, casting a sharp glance around in the hpe of seeing 6ome forlorn creature bearing the features of Harry Wood.
It chanced that Harry Wood himself caught a poition of this conversation, as he sat by his open parlor window. He hastened to his street door. "Ah I friend! halloo Stop one min ute he called.
Mr. and Mrs. Pew turned to see if they were the persons called. They saw a large handsome man, standing on the porch of a fine dwelling he was veay stately-look-ing, and he dashed back his curly hair with a motion that seemed familiar. He smiled and beckoned to them to come to hitn: the smile was familiar, but the dazzlingly white teeth put the good pair in doubt again. They at length mounted the porch and as they entered the house, Harry introduced himself. The blushes that dyed certain browR were not Harry's. He politely introduced his fair wife, whose graceful refinement made them feel exceedingly awkward. Mr. Wood then brought forward his hoys, one of whom Mr. and Mrs Pew had seen in the street. The curious eyes of Mrs. Pew furtively glanced around the elegantly furnished rooms she had never seen such magnificence. "Squire Pew, will you come with me to my libraly a moment?" Mr. Wood asked, in a kind, easy tone te was obeyed. Mr. Wood handed him a chair, as he seated himself before his writing desk. "I ran away from you before my time was out!" he said, in the same easy tone. "I believe so," returned the other, with an embarrassed air. "I will make up that loss to yon!" and Mr. Wood handed hitn two hundred dollars he himself had received only his board atfd clothing while living at Sqnire Pew's. "Oh, it's no matter," said the Squire, putting back the bills. "Take them, sir!" said Mr. Wood, and there was a dteh of imperial pride in his slight bow, that could npt.be disobeyed.— "Perhaps yon meant well by itte Mtf. Pew, but for the 6ake of One whose chJef attribute is mercy, treat your farm-boys tfith Aore foibearahce and tenderness than you manifested to me. Legally, I had no right to run trtfay injustice', 1 h'acf.

ANV
EVENT."
CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA. NOVEMBER 27, 1856.
A MOTHER'S INFLUENCE. It happened not long since, that I was standing n'ea'r £h'e platform of a way-sta-tion on the Kenebec and Portland railroad, waiting for the eavetting train of cars.— There were, perhaps, fifty persons of all grades of society, and among the rest there were' young men who might be known at first glance as Mfogin'g 16 a large class called rowdies. They were stimulated bystrong drink, were reckless and profaine, and/ upon the whole, they were two as rough characters as we often s6.
An altercation arose between them about some trivial affair, and from words at length came to blows, which fell thick and fast upon the hedefs and soVQldefs of the compatants.
At length one of them oil hearing his name called by the other, stopded suddenly, and wite choked utterance exclaimed. "For heven's sake, don't call my name here. I have a mother standing there," pointing to the group of wating persons, "and a sister do just what you like with me, but don't call my name here."
Upon hearing his name spoken, the memory of past days, when receiving a mother's care and protection, passed before his mind, and reckless as he was, this thought conquered the demon within. He could not pain that mother by having'her know that he was in the company of suoh men.
He could fight no longer and as he walked slowly away, I heard the word "coward" spoken by several persons who had the form of men, but, alas all manly principle seemed smothered in them, and they manifested only the promptings of a mind as law as that of the brute.
How often we see instances of this kind, where a mother's influence follows her wayward son, reproving him of wrong and prompting him-to do right. However abandoned he may be, and however low he may have stooped from the path of rectitude, the thought of his mother will sometimes enter his mind, unwelcome and nncalled he will 6ee that loved form bending over him as 6he did in his youth, her features wreathed with a smile, and he almost feels her breath as she is about to imprint a kiss of maternal affection upon hia check.
Then®he thinks of his past errors, and her look of reproof turns him fom his purpose, and he resolves to do wrong no more. O, that he might keep his resolution but, as was that young man spoken of, he meets only the jeers of his comrades, and instead of praises for a good action, ho is called a coward
The Vote in Southern Illinois. Refering to the immense majorities given for BUCHANAN in Southern Illinois, the political Egypt of that State, the St. Louis Inlelligtncer of Tuesday, remarks: "The returns from some portions of tho lower end of the State, have a very suspicious appearance, and would seem to verify the saying that Egypt can furnish as many Democratic votes as may be required. For instance: Alexander county gave for Treasure, 361 votes inS'54. That county now gives Buchanan 800 majority. Pulaski county, which gave 246 votes for Treasurer now turns out 800 majority for Buchanan. Union county, which never gave 1000 votes, now rolls up 1,400 majority for Buchanan. Monroe has cast almost as many votes, if report is correct, as she has males within berborders. Marshal's District, the extreme Southern sections of the State, which in 1854, polled only 11,410 votes, of which the Democrats had a majority of 5,588, now gives Buchanan eighteen thousand majority!''
Virginia Lands, tfe iS well known,
be not bring high rates. The Richmond Enquirer says, with a satisfied air, that the (iiitrafo price' of land in tide-water Virginia is ten dollars per acre! What would be thought of such a bid for land in tidewater Pennsylvania? It is quite clear that what the planter may gain in the value of his unpaid .labor, he loses in the depreciated value ol his land.

Appalling Shipwrecks.
We c6ndens6 the following accounts of the late disasters at (iea1, from the New York Tribune, of the 22d inst.
Loss of the French Steamer
LYONNAISt
Over I6d Lives Lost
The French Iron steamer Le Lyonnais, which sailed from this port for Havre on the 30th of October, with 38 passengers, and a crew of 94 men, was run into off Nantucket Shoals, during a fog, about 11 o'clock oto the night of I^v. 2, by the bark Adriatic, Capt. Dunham, from Belfast, Me., for Savannah, and so badly damaged that she sank on the following day The Lyonnais was one of six iron screw steamships built during the past and present years by Mr. John La'ird of Liverpool, for Messrs. Gauthier, Frereis & Co. Each ship is constructed with water-tight compartments, and built in the strongest fti anner. according to the regulations of the English Board of Trade, and each is well fitted and sound iii every rcspect. The Lyonnais was launched last Spring afid had made two voyages to Rio Janeiro previous to her trip to New York. She had three compartments, and two of these seemed to have been broken the collision.— By this calamity it is probable that over 100 lives were lost.
Among those who are presumed to be lost by this terrible catastrophe are Mr. T. Franklin Bassford, the eminent pianist, with his wife and servant, and also Mr. Albert Sumner and his family. Mr. Sumner was an
elder
brother of the Hon. Cha
Sumner, and for several years past lias been a resident of Newport, II. I. A younger brother, Mr. Horace Sumner, it will be remembered, was one of the victims of the shipwreck of the Elizabeth, by which Margaret Fuller Ossoli lost her life.
There were no steerage passengers, but two or three men who worked for their passage are reckoned with the crew, making the whole number on board one hundred and thirty-two souls, of whom only sixteen are known to be living*
Loss of the Steamer Superior.
Svln our last week's isstie we announced That the Bteamer Superior had probably been lost on Lake Superior, Late advices confirm the supposition.
The
steamer
went to pieces on the 30th of October, near the Pictured Rocks, and thirty-six lives were lost, only sixteen out of thirtytwo being saved. The Superior, left bapt Ste Mary's Canal on the morning Of tne 29th, with the weather favorable the wind soon rose and increased to gale. Ine next morning the captain desired to, run under the lee of Grand Island, then aoout fifteen miles distant, but at ll£ o'clock she carried away her rudder and became unmanageable. The deck loaded and the cattle and hogs of the cargo were thrown overboard, but at 12£ she began to take in water ^ery fast, from which the pumps could nol free her. At 1 o^cIocK the' water put out the tires, and soon afterward she went down broadside on the rocks.— The eighteen survivors were washed to a narrow lodge of rocks, on which they managed. to keep a foothold until morning,^ when they saw that the boat was broken to pieces.' They remained there all day, being occupied in repairing ono of tho boats which had come ashore they had nothing to eat but cabbage, raisons, and occasionally a wet biscuit. They Chen succeeded in reaching the land, and five of them succeed^ in making their way to a house which1 was about twelve ni'iles distant. The others started in the boat for Grand Island, but after they reached it, as it was very cold, two boys froze to death before they could find a plac6 tff shelter.—~ The Superior was a crazy old boat, unsea worthy except in the stillest weather.
Burning of the Pjopellor B. L. Webb. The propeller B. L. Webb was destroyed by fire hk* Whiskey Bay, Lake Superior, on tho morning of the 12th inst. Sn'e had a full cargo, and was bound to Morgnette. She was anew vessel, and this was her first trip. She cost $50,000, and was insured for £40,000. Na lives were lost.
Loss of the Ship Lady Franklin The ship Lady Franklin, from New York for Trieste, on the evening ol Oct. 20, in a gale, in lat. 41 30, Ion. 50,, sprung .a leak arid filled vtivf rapidly'. The ca'p'tain cut a&ay the masts and throw overboard the cisfrgo, thfeii kepts the pumps going for fhree da/s, to no purpose she lay on her beam ends for ten days, jit the 6F which time the crew were taken from the wreck by the Schooner Maria Jewett and carried tb'Bostdtf.

TEACHER, PARENT, AND PUPIL.
£Y A TEACHER.
Man is believed to be' tho fast and most perfect workmanship of the Creator upon earth. His organization is most complex and elaborate, and, to the eye of casuality, each oiie 6f all his faculties has an amazing significance. As a reaper of pleasure, all worlds are lii's harvest fields. As sufferer of pain, every spot in all the worlds may be Gautemozin's bed of fire. His faculties have a range SA'u1 scope, above, a'rotmd',below, through what we call immensity a Vision backward, ami a duration forward, trough what we call ef6'rAity. He' has moral aad religions endowments, so th$t the door of the moral and religious universe wherein dwell God and all good spirits" stands forever open to welcome his entrance. His spirit can learn" its origin in the remote past, and trace its destiny in the remo'tei1 future, can doiVverse with its fellow creatures and hold communion' with its Creator, and when it dies here upon earth, can rise to immortality in the spirit-land.
But wh'ich shall inspire us with tho deeper iwe, these god-like prerogatives, or the perils th*t attend (hem? Ouf more complicated organization gives scope to more complicated derangements. Give your harp a thousand strings to multiply its melodies, and you multiply its capability of
producing discords in a still greater proportion. Send out the human nerves beyond the surface of the body that they may ramify over mankind, in order to partake of their pleasures—through retrospection over the ancients and through anticipation over posterity—and a thousand piercing pains shall tell you that those nervefi can be conductors of sorrow as well as joy.— Endow the soul with free agency, that it may earn a happiness it else could never feel, and by this same gift, you enable it to deserve a remorse it otherwise could never suffer."—Hon. Horace Mann.
Parents and Township Trustees of Montgomery Ctfnnty I upon you rests the responsibility of providing proper instructors for befogs, such as erre so eloquently described above by that Prince of Educators, the Hon. Horace Mann. You cannot fail tcr see that the human beift'g may, by the proper mental and moral training, become infinitely the most blissful of all beings on earth or throngh neglect, the monster's ignorance and vice may le&'d hitfi to be infinitely the most wretched. Let no nar row, dollar and cent policy influence you in the discharge of the fearful responsibility of selecting proper teachers of onr youth. Remember that "'TIs education forms the common mind, Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined."
ggT "How shall I make scholars interested in their studies? Be interested yourself.', "V^oirld you have your pupils wide awake and earnest, be alive yourself. A child's nature is sympathetic. He cannot long be dull and sluggish' if life, energy, aud rapidity characterize your own motions. Your electricity will bo communidat'eif to him.' He will work if you will work with him, Warder than you require him to work. The more inert lie is the more aetive you must be. It is useless for you to sit in^ohr easy chair and command attention! It is o'f no use (d lecture him on the importance of being interested' iW his s't&ires.
If scholars lack energy and activity of thought, do not sit before them the only way to secure it, is by physical and mental activity on your part, which they cannot escape from, but which hurries them on by the very forc^ of its imjfetS'ous torrent.—Ind. School Jour.
