Hunted like the prairie bison,
Slaughtered like the prairie deer,
With he crack of gu n and rifle
in
Ringing shasply their ear;
With their homes a blaze behind them,
• And their children on before,
Bee the hosts of Freedom fleeing
From a country their' no more I
In the dint their banner traileth,
Overborne by slavery:s might;
And against oppressions . legions,
They.have fidtered in the fight,
Pulsing onward front the prairies,
Comes a loud, imploring cry,
Waking . echoes mid the, mountains,
Piercing even to the sky I
Where arose a fair, young city,
As from out a flows ". sea—
Where the little prairie cabins
Dotted oterlhe beauteous lea—
Now are charred 'and smouldering ruins,
Whence all trace.of life bath. fled—
Some befoire the foe are fleeing
Some are sleeping with the dead.
Shall the fields of virgin, Kansas,
Young and beautiful and free,
By the fearful cmrse be blackened,
That e'er clings to slavery?
There, shall tos upbuilt the slave•mart ?
There, the ircn fetters wrought— ,
Of the bondman, crdshed; untaught ?
Shall the blue vault arching Kansas,
Hear the sud slavemother a cry,
Who when far her child is sundered,
Asks of heaven but this—to die ?
To this land of bride like beauty,
Will ye this dark ddwer bestow—
Slavery, with her lash and fetter,
And her life long hours of woe 1' •
Neven! God of heaven, forbid it
Who but made Thy children free,
And heat made all nations, brothers,
Apd alike as dear to Thee 1
Sooner let the reading earthquake,
Bury deep the smiling land,
Than that slavery should defile it
' With the touch of her foul baud !
Freemen, on the hills of granite,
By the eversounding . sea,
Where the "plowing winds" are reinless,
And the dancing waves are free—
Freemen, of the glorious'conntry,
Which your fathers bought with blood,
And a heritage bequeathed you,-
As a trust to hold for God-- a
Hear the cry from suffering Kansas—
Freedom's new Thermopylse- 7 ,
And again nprear the banner,
Blazoned o'er with Liberty !
Speak, in tones of gathering full:tem,'
As resounds the angry sea :
"Back, ye unlashed hounds of slavedom,
For we 'WILL have Kansas free I"

But there were some things which Noble
could never learn: Having on one cow
Mon seen a red squirrel run into 0010 in
a'stone wall he could not be persuaded that
he was not there for evermore:
Several red squirrels lived close to the
'house and bad time familiar, bet!, not

Noble. T y would come down front 'the

On one occasion Noble was so close upon.
his red backed'frient that, unable to get
up the maple tree, he dodged' into a hole
in the wall, ran into chinks, emerged at a
little, distance, and, sprang into the tree.—
The intense enthusiasm of tko•dog at that
hole can hardly be described. He filled
itfull of barking. He pawed and eeratch . -
ad as if undermining a bastion. Standing
off at a little distance he would pierce , the
hole, with a gaze as intones sod fixed as if
he 'were iiying magnetism' on it. Then
with tail extended, and every hair thereon
electrified, he would rush at• the empty
hole , with prodigous onslaught,
This i'magitiary squirrel haunted No.
ba 'night and day. The very squirrel
himself would run up before his face in to
tho tree, and crouching in a crotch, would
sit : ilently witching the whole process lof
bombarding the empty hole, with great so:

IS.The many things that Adam missed are
here enumerated :
Adam no'er knew what 'twas to be a boy,
To wheedle pennies from a dotingaire,
With which to barter for some pleasing toy,
Or calm tha rising of a strong desire
To suck an orange. Nor did he
E'er east a shuttlecock with hottledore,;
Nor wear, his tremors ever out at , knees.
From playing marbles on the kitchen floor.
Ile never skated o'er the frozen till, •
When winter's covering o'er the earth was
Nor jlided down the slippery hill,
With pretty girl upon his trnsty sled, •
Ile nevet swung upon bis father's gate,
Or sleptin sunshine on the cellar door,
Nor roasted chesnuts at the kitchen grate,
Nor spun his humming top upon the floor.
He ne'er amused himself with rows of bricks,
SO 'set, if ono fall, all of them come down ;
Not gaze delighted 'at the funny tricks;
Olharlequin or traveling circus clown. ;
By. grodnal growth he never reached the,ago,
‘Vhen cruel Cupid first invokes his art,'
And stamps love slesson page by page,
ou, the glowing, tablets . of
,a youngling's
heart: •
He never wandered forth on moonlightnights,
'With her he loved above alt earthly things,
Net tried to mount old Piodar's rocky hei;;hts,
' flacons° he fancied lO'vo hull lenthini wings.
He never tripped it'otei the brill•toom floor,'
, Where love and;, : mnsip.infertwino., their
charms,
Ncir wandeited listless by'tho 'sandy : shore,
Debarred the pleasures:of his lady'sarms.

These Springs, well known in the Southern
country for their efficacy in' throat and. lung
diseases, are beautifully situated in a very
narrow valley in one of the . splas'of 'the Alle
gheny Mountains. They are west of the mein
ridge, and iti tho Siriiith-welit'portfoif of the

and the surrounding mountaitis of sach height

and numbers ;probably 150. ; Most of them
