For myself, I intend to
locatc in Missouri. She has as good soil
us any Western State, and more timber:

stream through her entire center; and the
Itailroads now building tend largely to dc-!
to revolutionize the State, assisted as that !
Dirty is by the ereat Northern emigration, j

concede that slave labor is unprofitable ; ;

areso great that they will treely "bite
f
their own nose to spite their face." In
. . . ... . , . i
Northern Missouri, there has been and is .
a great advance in the price of lands.
As to Kansas, my greatest objection is

near the waters. Every Indian man, wo-!
. ; , -,, ,
man, and child is entitled to IW acres of
' ;
land, which they have selected along the
streams, thus reserving the b;st of the
lands, and leaving the open prairies for
white settlers. The Indian reservations
cover a large portion of the Territory ; aud
the balance is to be sold to the highest
bidJer for their benefit.
The soil throngh Kansas is good, and
pans oi it oeautiiui : limestone seems to
.... . ' """luuo lu
underlie it all : and there arrears to be
- " .
fctones piled up for use along every ravine.
e
Kansas is well watered, aud a fine couutrv
for raising stock.
But I do not consider
porty there, now. I
looks quiet ; but Low
thus, no man can tell
l.:.. i . i . .
parties. All that is wanting to create dis- j
j .mi,j. u.iUf) iuui.uiS
turbances. is for the nro slavery nartv to
commence hostilities. The general feeling
b
among the free state men is, if any of their i
own party commence war, to let them suf
fer; but if the slave-state party commences,
to drive every man of them out of the Ter
ritory. The troublo is, the pro-slavery :
party have the law, or the semblance of i
law, on their siJo ; while the free-state
men contend that tho legislature and laws
are all bogus. These latter bave never
given iu their property to tha slave party
assessors, and refuse to pay taxes. Some,
in pro-slavery districts, it is true, are com
pelled to pay ; but in the free stats dis
tricts, sheriffs can not sell property fur tax
or debt, for the reason that no man dare
bid.
Iu my opinion, if Geary had been re-
appointed, and backed by tho administra- i
tiou and troops, all difficulties might have j
been avoided. Doth nartinn viva lii.n .r.
dit for having done the best he could un
der tho circumstances. As matters now
stand, it will take a young Jaekson, and
nothiDg less, to keep things straight.
The free stats men bave a large major-'
ty. and it is increasing at least one hun-.

PHILAD., May 2, 1857.
A paragraph in your issue of this week,
reminds me that in a few days our lawless
city is to be blessed with a new set of offi
cials perhaps with two sets, in case the
"stuffcrs" are successful, as iu the District
Attorneyship ; but it excites no cntnusi-
asm among our good citizens, that I can
see ; having made up their minds that, no
matter who is in office, they are bound to
suffer, they look upon the whole affair as
belonging especially to tho adjustment of
the Statehouse row and the grogeries, and
stay at borne, but pay their increased taxes
and aivount for the cross immorality and
glaring disorder prevalent by the hackneyed
opinion that tho race is deteriorating, and
men are worse, naturally, than they were
in the "good old times." Yes, and men
are not at their worst yet, if good citizens
vill continut to practice the "masterly in
activity" which has consigned the ear of
public peace and morals to the. gross ele
ment that has ruled for years past.

A frieud of mine who practiced medicine
jn Ireland, once told me of an old woman,
a servant in his family, who followed her
son to Botany Day. On her return, be asked
if ehn had tnftt anv nnfl there she knew ? !
"Be mo coasciencc !" replied Betsey, "the
whole county of Tipptrary it out there!" If
Bets had ever visited Philadelphia and her
official corps, she would bave modified her
answer somewhat.

Passion. A passionate person is al
ways in trouble always doing that which
he regrets, and is ashamed of, in his calm,
reflecting moments always an annoyance
to bis best friends, and confessedly bis own
worst enemy. The indulgence of passion
by parents especially, has a far-reaching
and most pernicious influence. A parent
who can not govern himself is totally unfit
for the government of his children. A
fretful, peevish mother will make ber chil
dren like herself, and nothing less than a
miracle can prevent it. An angry word,
followed by a blow, goes far to fret, and
provoke and sour the temper of children.
Somo writer says, with great pertinacity
and force, "a parent who strikes a child
in anger, is like a nan who strikes tho
water the consequences of the blow are
sure to fly up in his own face "

name is wtitten in the Book of Life, that
he is an heir of God, aod joint heir with j
Jcsus Christ, ought to fill his soul with a j
constant thrill of joy, giving him no time j
for sadness, no time to feel pain, no time j
for anything but to reflect upon the " glo-
.L.Llta.
rv that shall be revealed. let. bov
many there are, who profess to bo expec
tants of that glory, who seem never to be
- '
blessed with the prospect ! who always go
bowed down with their beads as a bulrush,
thus dishonoring God, giving to their ene
mies occasion to laugh, while they them
selves drag out a wretched existence !
Could such unhappy creatures but learn
that it does no good to afflict the soul by
reflecting npon painful present, or a
dark future; that it docs no good to create
an evil by fearing an imaginary one;
that it makes a dark object no brighter to
view it through a dark cloud, there would
be less of suffering in our world, less com
plaint of God's providence, and society
would assume that cheerful aspect that it
should wear.
Tbero is the same difference between
the real and the ideal, that there is be.
tweru a castle in Aryshire, and a rustle in
the air.

The Sabbath. It is very remarkable
that the heathen nations who can be sup
posed to bave no knowledge of the law or
history of Moses, account one day of the
seven more sacred than the rest. Hesiod
styles the seventh day, " the illustrious of
the sun ;" and Ilomer says : " Then came
the seventh day which is sacred or holy."
Almost all nations who have any ootiou
of religion hare appropriated one day in
seven to the purpose of publie devotion.
