Grin August, the first Free State men

On the Gth Oct. an armed band marched
from Westport to (wipe out Lawrence," but,

From this time forth, old Joiis Brows
appeals conspicuously upon the stage of ac

longer a quiet settler, acting on the defensive,
he retaliated "carried ihe war into Africa"

in saving Kansas for Freedom. Thai he was
held to be somewhat deranged even then is
evident from the testimony of the tunes. He I

was everywhere that an enemy was to be met,
or a slave to be rescued, until the Republicans
triumphed, and the U-t Border Rut. an w !f

with his brave Kdward and his unfortunate

Novel Advertisement. The most
rcmarkablo among the many remarkable
advertisements which daily fall under onr
notice, in scores of exchanges from every
section of the couutry, is the one given
below :
"A PEW is For Sale in the meeting
bouse of the First Parish in Amherst. The
man that owns the pew, owns the right of
a spaco just as long as the pew is, from
the bottom of the meeting house to the
top or roof, and be may go as much higher
as be can get. If a man will buy my pew
and sit in it on Sundays, and repent and
be a good man, ho will go to heaven if
God lets him go. Let a man start from
the right place, let him go right, keep
right, and do right, and be will goto hea
ven at last, and my pew is as good a place
to start from a3 any pew in the meeUDg

So said tbo Hon. Thomas Ewing of

time, a Republican vote. Mr. Ewing is
not the only man, who bad been deluded
with sham "popular sovreignty," whose
eyes were opened by liroderick's murder,
llroderick was honest in bis opposition to
slavery, and because he was thus honest,
he was killed, and Douglas rejoiced at
his fall.
S.n E.M. A courtezan called "blue

a negro sexton accompanying the body to

merchant of that city, but went astray.

There may be some who will not think

How to Live Lo.ng. A venerabla
minister, who bad preached some sixty
scveo years in the same place, being asked
what was the secret of long life, replied :
"Kise tarly, live temperately, work baid,
and keep cheerful." Another person,
who lived to the great age of one hundred
years, said, in reply to the inquiry, "How
he lived so long?" "I have always been
kind and obliging, have never quarreled
with any one, have eaten and drank only
to satisfy hunger and thirst, and bave nev
