Hi 0 t t V $
THIS WORLD IS \OT ALL CIIEERLE9*.
The Work! is not cheerless,
Though some times dark and drear,
There's a calm for every tempest.
A smile for every tear ;
There's a ray of golden sunshine,
To make each desert bright,
A glittering star to gladden.
The deepest, darkest night.
This world is not all cheerless—
The heart most lone and sad,
Has some times pleasant memories,
To cheer and make it glad ;
For love is ever twining,
It's roses o’er our way,
And friendship’s light is shining,
With pure, unchanging ray.
This world is not all cheerless,
Though hope may pass away,
And the things we cherish dearest,
’Neath time's cold hand decay ;
For every grief that wrings the heart,
And every tie that’s riven,
But brings our footsteps nearer
To happiness and heaven.
This world is not all cheerless,
Then as we journey on,
Let every heart be breathing
A grateful, gladsome song,
Lor the rich and countless blessings,
Around our pathway shed—
For the hope of in heaven.
When life’s shore dream has lied.
T II E RIVER.
BY A1KI).
{One of the ‘•Brilliants” of the Boston Transcript.)
Infant of the weeping hills,
Xarsing of the springs and rills,
Growing river, flowing ever,
Wiinpling, dimpling, staying never,
Lisping, gurgling, ever going,
Sipping, slipping, ever flowing,
Toiling round the polished stone,
Kiss the ledge and journey on,
Here’s a creek where bubbles come,
Whirling make your ball of foam ;
There’s a nook so deep and cool,
Sleep into a glassy pool,
Breaking, gushing,
downward racking,
Narrowing green, against the bank,
•Wuere the alders grow in rank—
Thence recoiling,
Outward boiling,
Fret, in rough shiugly shadows wide,
Your difficult way to yonder side,
Thence away, aye away,
Bickering down the sunny day,
In the sea, in yonder West,
L->se yourself and be at rest.
Kansas.
W c are indebted to the Hon. W F DeSaus
sure, Chairman ts the first Kansas committee,
ibr the following letter from a friend in Kansas.
It renders it extremely important that our
second committee should make a strong effort
to aid in the important work of settling Kan
sas with Southern hands and hearts.
Kansas, June 18th 1850.
Hon. IF. E. DcSaussure.
Dear Sir: I received your letter with
the draft annexed for seventy-seven dollars
eighty ceuts, payable to the order of David G
Fleming, of which he shall be informed forth
with; he has received the drafts first scut. The
South Carolina boys at Atchison are well
pleased and will nearly all of them see the
thin” through, many of them will settle for
life in the country. The Border Ruffians willfur
uish them, without cost, meat and bread, and,
assist to furnish them with the means of com
mencing farming. They will give them cows
and calves, and sows and pigs, and lend them
horses, mules and oxen, indeed do all that we
can for them, yet I hope that South Carolina
will not relax he exertions in this cause, but
send more men and more money to be used for
the benefit of her own children I have con
sented to act with them on their committee,
and i endorse them in all things; my house is
open to them; so indeed do many of our people
—so much so that that they are better pleas
ed with Missouri than Kansas, yet duty com
pels them to remain in Kansas.
You will see from the Charleston Mercury
their address and their plans; your State must
and will sustain them. Remember the stakes
we are playing for".
The Abolitionists are mustering all their
forces for an incursion this fall,perhaps sooner.
Wc will be 1 trust, prepared to give them a
hearty reception. The poor devils have paid
dearly for their murders and assassinations;
they are humiliated, aud hundreds are leaving
the territory now; how many of them will re*
turn, is doubtful, but that others will come
with arms in their hands, there can be no
doubt
The United States troops are in our wav.
Execution* of Wm. Palmer.— During the
whole of yesterday, says the European Times,
14 tli ult, the railway trains poured in their
thousands of souls who were this morning to
be spectators of the dreadful tragedy, which
was at so early an hour to be enacted. They
were not to be deterred from witnessing the ex
ecution either by wind or weather,and although
the rain decended pitilessly the greater part
of the day, accompanied by convulsive gusts
of wind, there was no lack of eagerness dis
played to be present on the mournful occasion.
The elements lent a melancholy air to the in
tended proceedings, and pervading gloom
was only relieved by the commotion of the
visiters, who were endeavoring to secure favor
able spots of observation.
Asuigty, came on, all the approaches,’of the
jail became more crowded than during the af
ternoon, and up to the dawn of this morning
there was no abatement of the interest mani
fested all day. Here they remained in the
mul, rain and in darkness for several hours;
once a position taken it was retained most ob
stinately, and by eight o’clock this morning
there were not l ess than 20,000 persons pres
ent who exhibited the utmost decorum and
regularity. Every available inch of ground was
occupied both in front and around the jail
Prcciscly.at the hour appointed for tho execu
tion (eight o’clock) the culprit appeared on
the drop. He looked exceedingly well, and
had passed an excellent night.
It .had been announced that he would ad
dress the multitude ou.thc scaffold, and consid
erable anxiety was apparent as to the tenor
of his observations, lie did not, however, say
anything. He was accompanied by the Sheriff,
chaplain, and other officials connected with
the prison; was dressed in the prison dress--a
suit of grey. None of his relatives were pres
ent, but many of his friends of the turf were
witnesses to the sad spectacle. Upon the un
fortunate man’s appearance, the cap was plac
ed over his face by Smith, of Dudley, who per
formed the duties of executioner, and the rope
having been adjusted, in an instant the earth
ly career of the greatest criminal recorded in
the annals of history was at an end. Be ©ade
no confession; even yesterday he desired that
the visits-of Mr. Wright, the prison philantro
pist, should be discontinued, it being alleged
that he did not desire to be induced to disclose
the truth of the offence wi'h which he wrs
charged. As Palmer is now numbered with
the dead, his name, as associated with crime
of the deepest dye will be spoken of and riiud
erod at for centuries to come.
“None but himself can be his parallel.”
Power of Mind Over Be :y.
The mysterious influence excrete* bv the
mind over the body is well iced in
the following case, contained in J)* Warren’s
treatise ou the ‘preservation of .ic-aith.”
‘Some time since a female presented herself
to me with a tumor or swelling ot the neck.
It was about the size of an egg, had lusted
two years, and was so very hard that I con
sidered any effort to dissipate it by medicine to
be vain, and advised it removed by operation.
To t!:is the patient could not bring her mind;
therefore, to satisfy her wish, some applications
of considerable activity were directed to be
made to the part, and these she pursued for
a number of weeks without any change. After
tli's she called on me, and with seme hesitation
begged to know if an application recommend
ed to her would in my opinion, be safe. This
consisted in applying the hand of a dead man
three times to the diseased part. One of her
neighbors now lay dead, and she had an op
port unit” of trying the experiments, if not.
thought dangerous. At first, I was disposed
to divei t her from it, but recollecting the
power of the imagination, gravely assured her
that she might make the trial, without any
apprehension of serious consequences. A while
after she presented herself once more, and with
a smiling countenance, informed me she had
used this remedy and no other, and on exam
ining for the tumor, it had disappeared.
A Scene for Abolitionists. —Though it
would not convei‘L it might have instructed
the fanatics of the North to have witnessed a
slight scene iu front of the theatre Thursday
night.
Mr. Macallistcr was having one of his gift
entertainments, and the drawing of some four
or live prizes had proceeded in the usual way,
when ‘an elegant gold watch’ fell to the ticket
of a black man, who was desired to come down
from the gallery and receive his prize. The man
advanced through the parquette on the plat
form, where his ticket Was examined and the
watch delivered. Ho received his prize and
retired to his place, amidst the victorious
cheers of the crowded citizens
It might have enlightened some of the truth
ful Abolitionists of the North to witness this
undoubted evidence of the great cruelty prac
ticed on our colored population.
But they would not believe even their own
eyes. —Mobile llegistei
A young gentleman, residing in the neigh
borhood of Richmond, had occasion, a short
time since, to drive his pretty cousin Fa ny
down to Windsor in a gig. Little Charlie,
a brother of Fanny’s, accompanied aud sat
between them in the gig ; but, as he was only
five or six years of age, of course he was
considered nobody. Unfortunately, however,
the urchin had got anew hat that very day,
of which he was exceedingly proud. Finding
on his arrival at Windsor, that it had sustained
some injury during the journey, he rushed to
his mamma to complain : ‘I declare mamma,’
he cried, ‘l’ll never ride in a gig between sister
Fanny and cousin George again.’ ‘Why so
my, dear V inquired mamma ‘Because, he
replied, ‘they’ve brushed LiV ire.. hat all to
pieces with leaning over me to less each other
all the way from Richmond.’— Exchange.
More Fusion in New York. — Or Saturday
night last a meeting of the Killmore National
Club of New York, was’held, at \v : hit was
resolved to abandon the* nominees of the
American party, and to support ,tl: uididates
of the Blaek Republicans* Fremo.it and Day
ton, for President and Vice President. The
meeting passed strong anti-slavery resolutions,
and changed the name of their club* which is
hereafter to be known as the “American Re
publican National Club.”
Damages of $5,000 for Seduction. —In
the Circuit Court; holden at Newport, R. I.
last week, the only case tried before the jury,
was Francis B. Fairweather vs. Alferd H
Willard, all of Providence. This action was
brought by the plaintiff for seducing his daugh
ter under a pretence of marriage. It was
commenced on Tuesdey morning and ended on
Friday evening. The jury, after being out 15
minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff of
$5,000 with cost.
