►Twits on a winter's morning,
The weather wet and wild,
Thret4hours before the dawning,
The father rocseit his child—

The ilarksome room he paced,
And cried, i , the bell is ringing—
“My hapless darling ! haste !”
—"Father. t am up, but weary,

And cursed her as she wept.
Alas ! what hnurs of horror

In toil, and pain, and sorrow,
:They slowly flass'd away.
It seon'd that she grew weaker;
The' threads they oftener broke,
The rapid wheels ran quicker,
And heavier fell the stroke.

But night brought no repose;
Her day began and ended,
As cruel tyrants chose.
At length her little neighbor
Her half-penny she paid,
To take her last hours' labor,

At last the engine ceasing,
The captives homeward rushed;

A beautiful young heiress had become so
disgusted with a flattering set pf solt-pated,
i , - aired, mustache-lipped, strongly
perfumed suitors for her hand, that she shut
herself from the fashionable world, turned
all her property into money, deposited it all
in banks, donned a cheap wardrobe, put on a
mask, and went, pedestrian like, through the
city in which she had hitherto inured with so
much display and magnificence. She asked
ah,o; of those who of late ha , l knelt at her feet.
and sued for •her hand. They knew her nut,
and casting a look of scorn upon her veiled
Nee and coarse wardrobe, bade her "begone!"
She entered the country—here she met with
derision and scorn: A few kind-hearted peo
ple, it is true. bestowed aid : but these were of
the poorer class. who had hard work to pro
cure their own daily bread; but they could
not turn a fellow creature hungry from their
d , or, and therefore gave a small pittance from
their scanty store. . .

One summer's day, a large company met on
' Beach. They were mostly from the
v;ty. The disguised heiress, from some cause
r other, had wandered there. She asked
alms of one or two, termed "upper tens."—
They spoke tauntingly, but r are nothing.—
What they said' been heard by quite a
number of their company. Most of them
laughed, or looked as if they thought it
"served her ri! , iit." The woman turn
allout and was walking sadly away, when
a good-looking gentleman stepped forward,
and catching hold of her arm, thus spoke,
"stay, my good woman—tell me what you
want."

She replied in a low, trembling tone, "I
want a sixpence—only a sixpence."
"You shall have ten times that sum. Here,"
he added. drawing from his pocket an eagle,
and placed it in the gloved hand of the wo
man, "take this and lilt is not enough, I will
, ire von another."
The heiress returned the eagle, exclaiming,
"I want a sixpence, sir—only a sixpence ;•'
Seeing that she could not be made to take
the coin, the gentleman drew forth a sixpen c e,
and gave it to the strange being beside him,
who, after thanking the generous donor, walk
ed slowly away. After being laughed at for
so doing by his comrades, he set out in pur
suit of the begger woinan, saying: "perhaps
she is an heires—or au angel in disguise. I
mean to ascertain."
Not that he thought this. lie wished to
show his indifference to what his comrade , :
said, besides satisfying ilini, , elr abut the
strange female whom he had aided. lie s oon

An Italian "Flea Show."

Who but an Italian would'ever have thought
of such a thing?

A. Two Waded Child.
The-birth - of a child with two heads lms.
created much gossip during the last few days,
'in the locality of Temple street, Briltol, and,
indeed, wherever the intelligence of the arri
val of this curious little stranger has reached.
The mother is the wife of
.Mr. Look, baker,
1:20 Temple street, and the child, a boy,. is liv
ing, and was a fortnight old on the Stli ult.
The ordinary head of the child is of the natural
size, and - has a really beautiful face'; the su
perfluous
. head projects from the right side of
it, and is about the size of a man's list. The
child has four eyes, four ears and two mouths,
but there is nu chin to-the smaller head; the
mouth is deformed, and the eyes have become
' useless; they have lost their lustre, and are
tailing out of their sockets. There is an, inter
nal connection between the two heads, fur
when one mouth works the.other works, when
- it - c - r-ies - t he-soon d-issues-fri
the child is fed, the - second mouth moves as if
craving food, and we believe it limy be fed at
either. Up - to the present time the . ehild has
thriven, and - the faculty are divided as to its
prospect of existence, sonic holding that it
may live about a fortnight longer, w h ile
oth
ers seem to see no reason wl6 , its days may
not be prolonged to the azaturai term of man's
life.—Bristol Mirror. .

"I"J;randfather," said.-a,sauey imp the other
day, "how old are you?"
The old gentleman, who had been a soldier
in the war of the Revolution, and was much
under the ordinary size, took the child be
tween his knee, and patting him on the head
with all the fondness of a second child of life,
said—
. "My dear boy, lam ninety-five years olil,"
and then commenced to amuse the 1:141. with
sonic of the incidents in the story of 'his life,
at the conclusion of which lie addressed the
youngster, "But, my son, why did you ask . the
question?" when the little rascal, with all the
importance of a Napoleon, strutted off, 4nd
hitching up the first.pair of pantaloons he ever_
wore, after the most approved sailor. fashion,
replied:
"Well, it appears tome you're darned small

The Iron Floating Battery,
It may not be generally known that a largo
iron floating battery has been building in New
York for some years past. Several months
ago, the Secretary of the Navy sent an intelli
gent naval officer to inspect this battery, and
report progress. This report is now on file at
the Navy Department. It is an interesting
document, at• this time, when gun-boats and
all sorts of defensive and offensive modes -of
warfare are being developed.
The iron vessel, so mysteriously docked-and
hid from public view, has already been four
teen years under way, -and of course consider
able progress hag been made in her construc
tion, and she could be finished, if-necessary,
in one year. She is four hundred feet long
and thirty or forty in breadth. She is built
entirely of wroughtiron plate, and each plate
seven - inches in thfeknesS; these are attached
to her iron frame work. She wilt have eight
steam engines, and is to be propelled by two
screw paddles, on each side of her stern post.
In smooth water she will run, it is expected,
from t y wenty to twenty-five wiles per hour :
and as she is intended solely fin. harbor defen
ces, she will have smooth water to run in at
all times. She an by her double propulsive
power, by reversinc , n s,me of the screws, turn
on her own axis. or in a space of for hundred
feet. She is to he mounted with twenty guns
of the-heaviest ea li bre and longest range.
The duck where this wonderful floating bat
tery isitow lying is ,vcry mysteriously_guard
ed. . Owini , to the extreme length of the ves
sel, rocks have s been excavated, and one of the
streets of Holiolten has been tunneled to ad
mit.one end of the monster. When Mr. Rob
ert L. Stephens died, he left models to enable
Mr. Walker, the superintendent of her con
struction, to complete the vessel in accordance
with his original conception. She has cost
the government, thus far, over luilf a Million
of dollars, all of which has been expended, and
lately the work has been tarried on out of the.
private funds of Mr. Stephens.
The vessel, or two or three like her, will
guard New - York from any 'force that may be
brought against the place. She -iS perfectly
impervious to shot or shell, from Lancaster,
Ptuxhan or Columbian. The iron plates of
which she is eons:meted are each thoroughly
tested by cannon shot before being fastened to
die frame of the vessel. 1 ler machinery is all
below the woter line, and out of harm's way.
Her speed will make her equal to 'twenty or
thirty gun-boats of the modern- size. .With
two or three such vessels-New York would in•
deed be impregnable.
crime of n Free State Man in Kansas.
M. W. King, of Racine, gives a tnost inter,
esting relation of his experience in '.Kansas-.
After relating the circumstances that led to
his emigratiOn—his arrival in- Kansas city, in
Missouri, with his - family—he writes:
"Leaving my family, I started for the 'prom
eled just - one hundred and
eight miles, according to. the survey, bet'ore
could find a sufficiency of timber to warrant
me in an attempt, to build a house. At Paw
nee, the capital as projeteed by Gov. Reeder,
or rather within a distance of five miles from
that paper city, I succeeded in makinga claim
of 80 acres, oil which, after much severe labor
and privation, I succeeded in raising a house
that would shelter mY'self and family. Dur
ing all the time of my struggle in the wilder
ness 1 was aided and assisted in every way by
my neighbors, Missourians, and, indeed,
er even had to wait longer for their help than
they saw wherein 'they could assist me.
My claim made, my house, such as it was,
completed,. I started for Kansas city to bring
my family out. .11lgr of my feelings when I
learned that fin' nearly the whole time of my
absence my child had been lying at the print
of death, and remember, also, that these
strangers were all 'border ruffians: Of course,
I was anxious. I gliestiimol ray wife, - lrow
did you get along? What 'lid you do? Why,
she answered me, no people could be more
kind ; all took au interest in our suffering and
sorrow ; I neNer saw a more kind-hearted and
generous people. I was astonished, I confess
it. of con rse, 1 said but little—what could 1
say ? Tliey asked me—the 'border ruffians'
—of my politics. I told them I was an out
and-out Free State man. The answer was in
yariahly—"fhat's*right, Mr. King, vote just as
you think—we wish every man to enjoy his
own opinion.' •
For many weary days I walked around,
waiting for the returning strength of my child,
and during these flays I saw many things that
would hate been disbelieved by myself if stat
ed to me before I left Racine, and while I was
a reader of,, and believer in, the New York
Tribune. I saw Many—very many poor fam
ilies landed at Leavenworth.—sent on by- the
New England Aid Society, who had not the
means to bury the dead of their company.
Men, women and children were there, sent on
by these Aid Sot:ieti:: , , without funds to pur
,chase one meal of food after landing. They
came there, expe c ting no one if nOWS what, but
in as destitute a condition as ever emigrants
landed at the docks of New York. •
The men of Missouri, the 'border ruffians,'
took them into theiehontes, they fed them—
the living ones—and buried the dead—they
have them clothes, food, and kind words ; they
:Lewd, in short, the Dart of noble, generous,
Christian men, and their reward has been
abuse, contnr»ely aidmisrepresentation.
That the men of Missouri felt and feel ag
grieved is not to be wondered at by ahy who
know anything of the facts. They have been
flooded by comp:Thi e s sent on by 'aid societies,'
of _men who at home could not command the
respect, hardly the forbearance of the commu
nities in which they lived; they have been
obliged not only to feed these men, but to lis
ten to their senrilluus abuse, and now, when
they base sought nothing more, as I well
know, than an equal and just share of the ad
vantages of the newly opened territory, they
are belied by press and pulpit through the
entire North. As I said before, I hate slav
ery, an 1 never by net or word will give it
countenance, hut, I Late it so much that I
cannot hear even to see the mistaken. (though
I believe, honen , tly ini'taken,) supporters of it
lied about and abused."

tenfid-tiut,'of course—at or of the Rev, Henry
Ward Beecher, the lighting pastor of "the
Church of the Holy Rifles." It represents'
this belligerent parson crouching among the
citne-lirakes, Sharp's Rifle in hand, with
stealtli-y-trentl,in-scarch of 41.'-‘Borderitiaffittn. "
Ito is evidently in earnest—he means exact
ly what he says—no mincing matters in his
Case. -Ile avows it 218 his opinion that Sharp;
Rides me better than Bibles,
and that it is a
shame to shoot at a man and not kill-him.—
The artist has made a hit in the engraving,

Border Ruffian or not.

--- Visit - ea--Slave-to-the North.--
Messrs. Rowland & Bros., of Norfolk, Va.,
own a slave, James Wiley, whom they per
mitted some mouths since to make a trip t
the North to see the Orions. They not only
gave him a perniit to take passage in the New
York steamer from Norfolk, but also gave him
the necessary funds to'bear his expenses. He
yisited Falmouth, Fall River, New Bedford,
and sundry other abolition towns in Massa- -
ehusetts, and on Saturday last returned home,
via, this city and Baltimore. The Norfolk Ar
gus says :
"When Jim (for this is his fainiliar name,)
was in New New Bedford he met
. t3everal fu
gitives whom he recognized as former slaves
in Norfolk. They, supposing he had run
away, received him with downcast looks, and
assured himivtliht lie had come to the wrong
plaee, and remarking that they were `making
out' very poorly, having to labor hard and
get but riorly paid in return ; they express
ed great dissatislaction at the tT[fft...iireEttlwy
received at the hands of their - abolition friends.
.Jim told them that ho had not rim away, that
he was only on a visit and would return to
Norfolk in a few days. At several of these
towns in Masmelinsetts he was importuned
by the al olitionists to remain, assuring him
that lie was then a free man; he declined
their kind offers, and assured them that such
freedom- as a black man enjoyed with them
bud no charms for him—he vastly. preferred
the slavery of Norfolk,-acciempanied - with an
aim oho ee of the nevessities, aye, the comforts
of l'se as he enjoyed them at home, to all the
freedom of the North.
Man Killed by His Own Curtin.—The N ew
York Times announces the accidental death
of a man of some wealth in that city under the
tAingular circumstances:
It appears that nearly a year 'ago, the de
ceased, NV ILO NV:IS . 53 years of age, became
strongly impressed with an idea that when he
should die, the parsimonious disposition of
his 'relatives would lead them to put him in a
cheap coffin, while he had a strong desire to
be buried in one of polished rosewood, lined
with white satin and trimmed with silver.
Soon after this strange idea got possession of
his mind, he discovered an elegant coffin in
one of the principal warehouses, which suited'
him. Ile purchased it for $75 ; had it sent to
his residence at nightfall, and stowed it away
in a small closet tuljoinitighis bedroom, where
it remained' until the time of the accident.
flow it occurred is not known to a certainty,
fur the first intimation the family had of the
lamentable Occurrence was from a servant, -
who, on going to call him to breakfast, found
the door wide open and the deseased lying on
_the floor, dead, with his coffin at his side. She
screamed, which soon brought the family, and
on raising the body the skull was found crush
ed in upon the brain. lie was found about
eight o'clock Sunday morning, when, to all
appearance, he had been dead several hours.
On examining the clu.et, a bottle containing
a quantity of sherry wine was found, and as
Saturday night was excessively warm, he is
supposed to have gone to the closet in order
to procure the wine to use with some ice-wat
-e-rbe-had on a small table by his bedside. it
is thought that lie must have sought fur it in
the dark, and by some mistake upset the coffin,
which stood nearly Becoming sensi

efilirt to get away, when he fell, and the outer

fracture his skull and cause almost immediate

The Origin of the Troubles in Kansas.
The much controverted question as to the
origin of these troubles is put to rest by the
deposition of lion. Daniel Mace, which is ap
pended to Mr. Oliver's minority report in the:
,Kansas election case. It is proved distinctly
by this deposition that the idea of defeating
the true object of the Kansas act, which was
to enable the bona fide settlers in the Territory
to determine for themselves, and perfectly un
controlled by extraneous influences, the char
acter of their domeitie institutions, originated
-with the members of Congress who bad op
posed the bill, and immediately after the bill
was passed. The first Kansas Aid Society
was fOrined 'in Washington city, and embiac-r_
ed most of the members of -Congress who had
opposed the Kansas bill, and the avowed ob
ject was to procure voters to go to Kansas who
would at all times oppose the introduction of
slavery into the Territory. The Massaohu:
setis Aid Societies were the first fruits of this
congressional organization to defeat a law of
Congress. To give more efficiency to the
Massachusetts project, a charter of ineppora:
tion was obtained, and the prospect of making
money Was held as a stimulus to adventurers.
In this way fanaticism *and avarice entered
into partnership, and gave the impulse to the
sectional agitation . which is now 'convulsing
the confederacy from its centre to its circum
ference. The movement, which it is-, now
found had its origin . in Washington, ,provoked
similar associations on the borders of Kansas
and afterwards in Kansas itself. There is
now no difficulty in fixing the true responsi
bility fear all the outrages which have neon
perpetrated in Kansas. The deposition or Mr. -
Mace is as follows,
DANIEL MACE called-and sworn.
To Mr. OLIVER
Immediately after the pawing° of the Kan
sas-Nebraska act, I, together with a number
of others,•who were Members of Congress and
senators, believing that the tendency of that
act would be to make Kansas a slave State, in
order to prevent it.formed an association here
in Washington, called, if I recollect aright,
"The Kansas Aid Society."' Ido not remem;
igir all who became members of that society,
but quite a number of members who were op
posed to slavery in Kansas, of the lower
House, and. also of the Senate, became mem
hers of it, and subscribed various sums of
money. • I: think 1 subscribed -either- $5O . or
$lOO : I am not now prepared to say which.
We issued a circular to the people of the
-countrry,--of-the_northernStates_:_particq_larly.„__
in which we set forth what we believed wire
the dangers of making Katuias a slave State,
d urged that steps be taken to induce per
-sons frenv the North, who_ were_ opposed to
slavery, to gethere'and prevent 'its notrodue
tion, if possible. We sent a great many air.
CularS to various parts of the United States
with, that object, and also Communications of
various kinds. Ido not now remember what
they were. The'object was. to havepersons
induced to go to Kansas who 'would make
that their home, nnd who would, at all elec
tions, vote against the institution of slavery.'
I. think Mr. Goodrich, of Maisachusetts,
was the President of. the society. I am not
certain.' about the Vice Presidents; probably
Mr..Fenton, 'of New York, and myself, were
Vice Presidents. The names of the 'President
and Vice Presidents were attached to our cir
culars which we sent throughout the country.
My recollection is, that generally, these
embers of the house and Senate who were
opposed to the Kansas-Nebraska apt became
members of this Society, and contributed to it.
The leading primary object of the associa
tion was to prevent theintroduction of slavery
into Kansas, as I stated during the short ses
sion of Congress, , in answer to a - questiou pro
pounded to me by yourself, I believe. We be
lieved that,*unless vigorous steps of that kind.
were taken, Kansas would become a slave
State. Ido not remember the caption of the
sub'scription paper. I think no other object
was mentioned or specified, except the pre
vention of slavery in Kansas. I think that
was the sole object of the movement.
I do not recollect whether Mr. Speaker
Banks was a member of that society or not, or
whether Senator Seward was or not. Mr.
Goodrich kept the books. My impression'
is that a majority of those who voted against
the bill were members of that organization.--
I do not remember the total amount of money
raised by means of that organization. We
had a room here, and employed a secretary,
and consequentiy had expenses top ay. I
I
do not know the amount raised. - think
there were persons, members of that associa
tion, who were not members of either house
Congress. Mr. Latham was appointed before
the committee, and in showing to the country
the true ground and source of all the difficul
ties in Kansas Territory.
Polities in the Pulpit.—A letter from Lit-,
tletown, N. H., to the Boston Post, says that
the Rev. IL W. Beecher delivered a political
sermon (speech) in the meeting house there,
on Sunday, the 27th ult., in favor of the elec
tion of Fremont and Dayton.
The Gospel of St. Beecher.--"Go ye into alI
pie world, and shoot the gospel at every crea
ture."—Clereland Plaindealer.
The gospel says, "love one another." Mr.
Beecher says "shoot one another"--and that
lie considers it a shame to shoot at a man and
not hit him.
