Climbing o'er tho garden wall, Hounding through the busy street; Itunging cellar, shed and hall j Novor count tho moments lost, Never mind tho time it costs, Littlo foct will go astray, Cuido thorn, mother I while you may. Mother I watch tho little hand, Picking berries by the way, Making bouses in tho sand, Tossing up the fragrant hay. Never dare tho question ask, ' Why tp mo this heavy task ? " Theso same little hands may prove Messengers of light and love. Mother! watch tho littlo tongue, I'rattlig eloquont and wild ; t What is said and what is sung, By the happy, joyous child j Catoh the word while yet unspoken j Stop the vow while yet unbroken ; This samo tongue may yet proclaim Blessings in tho Saviour's namo. Mother! watch tho littlo heart, Heating soft and warm for you ; Wholosonio lessons now impart; Keep, 0 keep that young heart true, Extricating overy weed, .Sowing good and precious seed ; Harvest ricbyou then may sec, Ripening for eternity. SERVING A SUBPOENA. It is singular what shifts love will make to accomplish its objects. Loth gates and bars aro of littlo avail ogainst Cupid's pick-lock" contrivances his cunning will devise ways and means to open them all. A young gentleman had courted a fair damsel of this city and it was supposed that tho two in time would becomo ono. Somo littlo quarrel of trivial nature, as lovers quarrels generally arc, occurred. Neither would confess the wrong to bo on their side presents and correspondences wero naturally sent back, and tho match was broken off. The young gentleman immediately started off to Now Orleans to enter into commercial business, thinking tho distance would lessen the attachment ho really lelt for the young lady. When a woman is injured, or thinks sbo is injured, by tho ono she loves, sho is more apt than tho male sex " to bito off her own nose," as the saying is, to inflict pain and be rovenged on tho offending object. A genllo-inan that tho young lady had once rejected renewed his proposal and was accepted within a week after her old lover hnd embarked for tho South. On reaching Xew Orleans he found that distance, instead of weakening his attachment, only mado tho lady dearer, and ho became melancholy and low spirited. The first letter ho received from Now York from a friend of his, announced that his old flame was to bo shortly married to another. His courso was quickly taken tho next morning saw him on board a packet-ship bound for Gotham. Tlio p.tssago unfortunately was long, and tho poor follow chafed and fretted so much that the passengers began to think him deranged, or else a fugitive escaping from justice. Tho Instant tho vessel touched tho wharf he darted for tho ofllco of his friend, the lawyer. It is to bo supposed tho latter wis much surprised to sco his friend, imagining him a cou-plo of thousand miles away. After tho usual salutations, ho exclaimed : " My dear fellow, you aro in time to see tho wedding. Miss , your old sweetheart is to bo married this morning at 11 o'clock. To tell you tho truth, I don't belicvo there is much lovo about it, and the girl really thinks more of ono hair of your head than tho fortunate bridegroom's whole body." '" Good llcavon ! Where is sho to be married in church ? " " No, at her father's house." , "My dear fellow I I yes no yes, I havo it. Havo you any . caso coming on in either of the courts at 11 o'clock ? " " Yes." "Then fill up a subpoena with tho bridegroom's namo. Don't ask any questions. It matters not whether ho know's anything about tho parties in tho suit By Heaven 1 Julia shall be niao ! " Uk friend ear the object at once, and prom, ised to carry on tho matter. The subpoena was tnado out and placed in hands of a clork to scrv oa the unexpected bridegroom the instant he should leave his residence, and was despatched in a cab to watch tho house. About ten minutes before eleven, as thesoon-to-be happy man wag about entering a coacji before his residence, he wras sorvod with a subpoena. Can't help it," said the clcrk,,in reply to his gesticulating about " not knowing tho par-iios," "g&ng to bo married," otc, "we shan't aeh the Hall now before eleven imprison-meat for .contempt," etc. The bridegroom who wag rathef of a timid nature, fatty .consented, particularly as the clerk promised to send a friend of his who sat in the cab wrapped up ia a largo cloak, explaining the reason of his absence. The reader can imagine who this person was. ' Eleven o'clock came, but still no bridegroom. The guests were starjng at each other 4le priest began to grow impatient and the bride thai waa to be looked palo and agitated, when a carriage drore p and the bell rung. . " There he Is t There he is 1 " murmured many voices. A gentleman did enter, whose appearance created almost as much astonishment as thai MOUNT VERNON, OHIO, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 30, of Edgar Ravcnswood in tho Hall of Ashton, in Scott's Briilo of Lammcrmoor, Tlio lndy fainted ; private explanations ensued between tho parents and the lover, and the result was that in ten minutes nftcr tho two reul lovers were joined in the Racrcd bond of matrimony, much to tho satisfaction of all. . Tho bridegroom that was to havo been, afterwards mado his appcaranco, pulling and blowing. What ho said and did on beholding his rival, and being mado acquainted with tho condition of affairs, was really tragi-comical. Tho story of tho subpoena shortly afterwards leaked out, and has created so much amusement that tho poor fellow declares ho will suo tho Iawyor for ten thousand dollars damages for subpoenaing him as a witness in a caso of which ho knew nothinc, and bv which ho lost a wifo. It will bo a novel suit, if ho should do so. Je?iiiij JEiifclii(jci)cc. From tho Mansfield Herald. REDUCTION OF STATE TAXES The Shield and other Democratic prints are busy circulating an article from tho Newark Advocate, sotting forth that tho Republican party instead of reducing the taxes havo increased them Two Hundred Thousand Dol-lahs. Such monstrous mistatcments stand unsurpassed for boldness and recklessness of truth : Tho Republican party has not only diminished tlio rate of taxation, but hj permitting dels to be daluctei from credits, it has REDUCED tho grand total of taxation from the Democratic economical sum of Ten Millions, Fiftt One Thousand Fifti-Eiqiit Dollars and Fifty Cents, to about SEVEN MILLIONS.Rut tho Shield presents the following : By rcferenco to laws passed in tho years 1855, 135C and 1657, wo find that tho rato of State Taxation imposed by tho Legislature on every one thousand dollars worth of taxable property, was as follows in each of said years: 1855. 1830. 1857. For Com. School $1,50 $1,50 $150 " State Debt 1,00 CO 90 " State expenses.... CO 1,00 70 $3,10 $3,10 $3,10 If tho Shield had added tho Library tax, stricken out this year, it would havo read " rato in 1855, $3,20 ; in 1856, $3,20; 1857, $3,10 " reduction of ten conts a saving to tho Stato this year of about $220,000 ! Quito an item that. Rut the Shield glosses this over and says it is a " miserably insignificant change" Why sir it sjiut one-tenth tho wholo cxponso of tho Stato government before the Democracy came into power, adopted tho new Constitution and placed it in the " hands of its friends." Tho total expense used only to bo from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 and to thoso figures would tho Republicans again gladly reduce tho taxes, did not the doubly complicated and intricate machinery inaugurated under the now Constitution render it at present impossible ? Tho Shield dare not publish tho figures for 1855 and '57 sido by side giving tho minutia and tho grand totals. Wo challenge him to do it. The following arc the figures : Democratic appropriations for 1855 $9,092,339,50 Deficiencies and Defalcations left for tho Republicans to pay...' "958,719,00 Total for 1835 $10,051,058,50 Assessment of Republicans in 1850 8,009,513,92 Deduct amount paid for Democratic dotieienccs 938,79,00 Total Republican expenditures. 7,050,781,92 What moro proofs do wo want of tho rigid economy of tho Republican Party ? WILL KANSAS BE FREE. Of all the questions which now agitato the public mind in the United States, this has preeminence. Upon its decision hinges that other question, whether the institution of no-gro slavery is to continue to grow with tho growth of the Republic, and. impart its malign influences to the councils and policy of tlio nation ; or whether, as a great, foregone social evil, a domestic and moral reproach, and an absoluto political nuisance, it shall bo stayed within its present limits as legally recognized. While this remains an open question, others, though of admitted magnitude and grave importance, will necessarily bo held in abeyance. We aro aware that for somo months past, tbo opinion has very generally obtained, that Kansas will be admitted into the Union with a Constitution inhibiting slavery within its boundaries. This opinion is based upon the fact that seems to bo admitted on all hands, that a very large majority of tho inhabitants ol that Territory aro vitally and earnestly opposed to the institution of slavery in all its aspects and phases. Without at all questioning this fact, we nevertheless fail to arrive at the aonclusion that thereore slavery will not be fastened upon that community. That was essentially the question that garo animation to the so called " Democratic " National Convention at Cincinnati, last Juno. South of Mason and Dixon's line, it was the question passed npon at' the Presidential election. And it has constantly been, and still remains the absorbing question with that " power behind the throne" which manages, governs, .controls the executive" policy of tho fcder- al government. The Executive itself isaser. tile thing in the hands of that power unreservedly committed to Its will, and the ready instrument for the execution of its behests. We havo failed to see any thing, since the inauguration of Mr. Ruchanan certainly since tho advent of Robert J. Walker as Governor of Kansas to warrant tho conclusion that tho slavo power " behind tho throne " meditates any remission of effort or determination for the accomplishment of its primary and ulterior purposes with respect to this question. Docs not tho Administration distinctly recognize the l."gality of tho pretended legislation of that body of mon, obtruded by fraud and violence upon tho peoplo of that Territory ? Docs it not now require of that people submission and obedience to protended laws thus contrived by fraud, and to bo executed by forco ? Is there any alternative offered them but to rccognizo as law tho action of that organized mob, or meet the full forco of federal powor? Thoso foreign banditti adopted measures for a Convention to form a Constitution of government for tho people of Kansas; and took especial care at tho same time that a majority of that peoplo should bo excluded from any participation in tho choice of delegates to that Convention. They are now told they must rccognizo as lawful tho doings of that body of foreign ruffians ; ,and permit the Convention for which it provided, to framo for them a Constitution. In consideration for which submission, they have tho assuranco of Mr. Robert J. Walker that he will exert h's influence with tho Convention, to provide therein for submitting to the peoplo tho question of accoptanco or rejection of the Constitution so to be framed 1 Others may placo what estimate they please upon such promises. They aro not of much worth with us. Wo shall bo agreeably disappointed if this bogus Convention docs not frame a Constitution upon tho most ultra pro-slavery plan if tho hands of tho people shall not be effectually manacled against free action upon tho subject if it shall not bo adopted without reference to, or regard for, tho popular sentiment and if Kansas shall not be lugged into the Union with all this accumulation of contempt for the wishes of the people hanging about it. Others, we ore aware, judge with more charity. Our stock of that commodity has long suffered by persistent overdrafts, and is now well nigh exhausted. We have never been ablo to discern in either Mr. James Buchanan of Pennsylvania, or Robert J. Walker, Esq., of Mississippi, and alongshore, tho ovidenco of that cxpansivencss of intellect, and of thoso qualities of gigantic statesmanship, which it is tho pride of their flatterers to claim for thorn. They have bson almost their life-long in public positions, inviting to development of high intellectual qualities and now, whoro is tho evidence that they possess them above tho common mediocre ? They havo been called to their present positions at tho present time, to accomplish a specific puaposo, namely : to fasten slavery upon Kansas. We doubt not, they will prove the willing, and wo apprehend, the successful agents, for the consummation o'" that iniquitous purpose.

Thore was a disposition on tho part of the House to enact laws providing for tho incorporation of towns, tho organization of counties and townships, otc., to give the free State government immediate vitality and force ; but tlio Senate only concurred in the enactments named abovo. Our Quindaro correspondent, writing on tbo 15th, says : A Delegate Convention Is called, to meet at Topeka on Wednesday, July 15th, to nominate candidates for Ropresontativo to Congress, and for all vacancies in tne State offices, and any other misiaess appropriate for the Htate organization when met Therefore, the legal voters of "the soveral Senatorial districts aro reccommended to meet at the usual voting precincts on Saturday, July llth, and elect delegates to said eonTestion.

This gentlemen has written a letter in favor of the election of Col Collins, the independent candidate for Governor of Missouri, (who is taken np by the American party,) in preference to Col. Stewart) the Democrats candidate. tie says he thinks the election of Rollins is required by the interest of the "Union ' Democracy." as he is opposed to nullification, secession and slavery agitation, and is a belter Democrat than Stowart. IMPKESSIONS Or THE WEST, In a hurried tour through tho West ono is more forcibly struck, of course, with the possibilities of the country than with its present achievement. We have written soveral times already on this matter, and wo now repeat ...... . n.iuu iwuii mion consistency auu equality ! ile:e we we of Iowa and Illinois is LAiion. The hurry, find tho very party that groans with holy and in comparatively few cases, the success of: horror at tiro decision or the Supremo Court moncy-getters in that region where nature J in tho caso of Dred Scott, now virtually de-has luvished her gifts, havo begotten a distato daring that a negro is not a citizen 1 Black for honest toil, bs which alone a country can j Republicans regard the nigger as good enough prosper. Nature has wi.ly ordered it that : to make capital with, but consider his skin all a people's wealth and prosperity must I too black, nose too flat and heel loo long, to como out or the soil. Wo may have ships and gems and olegance in every department of lifo, but it all must coma from tho bosom of tho earth and bo the reward of toil. Tho curse of tho West just now (and wo fear it .... , .... ; will bo a long time before it cscapos) is the presence of speculators who lay hold of large i bodies of land and, dividing it up into lots, ! soil it again, without in any manner having 1 improved it, to some sub-speculator, and so on, ad infinitum. Thoy all buy with tho de- sign of selling again at an advance, and with no intention, in general, of improving. They say that they are well aware of an impending reaction, of a culmination in thc prices of real estate, but they tho present ownors have no design of holding on to' their lots. They have land to sell, and it is thc look-out of tho men of tho future that they do not hold thc lands when the jig is up and the land-end of tho scalo begins to kick the beam. In tho midst of this game of battlo-dore and shuttle-cock, with all its incidents of pa-pcrtowns, paper-mill privileges, city sites, river improvements, etc., what can be expected but a restless spirit of activity, without any permanent results ? Everybody is flying and flitting hither and thither, as if issues of lifo and death hung in the balance ; as if untold fortunes depended on each moment. It is the eager activity in real truth, which a man discovers when doomed to treadmill. Most assuredly, he is active ; ho misses no step ; he cannot miss one : he toils with unremitting assiduity, but does he make any headway ? Do those weary men, in tho new world of the ! West, produce anything ? Is not tho State or tho country where thoy play their antics as bare of any valuablo product, to say tho very least, when they have got through with it as it was when they began ? Such is tho result now seen in tbo West. All the products of the soil, such as in grow in the fat landsof Iowa with vory little labor, aro at starvation prices, Tho country languisho3 for the careful hand of industry, and broad fields oven yet out of reach of speculators, invito to toil.. There is sufficient waste forco in our city among tho yoong men who spend days and months on the street cornors, to do more good in the West than all tho speculators that aro or ever have been in that country.There aro so many things to bo said about the West, so many arguments to bo urged against the present anomalous stnto of affairs that ono scarcely knows where to begin or end in speaking of it. That there are permanent results of past times of labor there, may bo seen in cities, not on paper only, but standing in their prido as monuments of toil. We need only point to St. Louis as evidence, and to other towns and cities of the West of less magnitude There is an air of strength and conscious power about everything in St. Louis that strike the stranger as soon as ho glances up its streets smrtou with huge warehouses ! or looks upon its lovco whore a mile of steam- j ers, coming from tho Gulf of Mexico or tho far regions of Minncsotu, from tho upper Ohio and upper Missouri, from Illinois, Tennessee ! purpose of "Major," who having an urgent and the low interior regions of Arkansas and j mission to fulfill, commenced pulling jthe Louisiana, contend with each other for every clothes from tho bed.

How Ale Strengthened Him. A student of ono of our State Colleges had a barrel of ale deposited in his room contrary of course to rule and usage. Ho received a summons to appear before tho President, whe said : " Sir I am informed that you have a barrel of alo in your 'room." " Yes, sir." "Well, what explanation can you mako ?' - " Why, the fact is, sir, my physician advises me to try a littlo each day as a tonic, and not wishing to stop at tho various places where tho beverage is retailed, I concluded to have a barrel taken to my room." " Indeed. And havo you derived any benefit from the uso of it ? " " Ah, yes, sir. When tho barrel was first taken to my room two days sinco, I could scarcely lift'it. Now I can carry it with tho greatest ease." Tho witty student was dim-barged without special reprimand. Singular Snlt.

There is no law in Ohio to prevent colored men from forming volunteer military companies, and in the city of Cincinnati a colored company has been in existence for several years, and has performed militnry duty. There is no analogy between tho militia law and the Dred Scott Decision. Tho militia law, in fact recognizes tho citizenship of colored men, for it speaks of " white male citizens," thoreby implying that there are citizens who arc not whito. The militia law, wo believe, compri-priscs only whito male citizens between the ages of 18 and 43.

Ohio Stute Journal. Unconscionably Tough. A correspondent of thc Xow York Spirit of tho Times, writing from Kecsville, New York, perpetrates tho following dog story : A most remarkable exhibition of canine sagacity occurred in St. Lawrence county. An eminent physician, Dr. McC, of Potsdam, was hurriedly called in consultation to a patient forty miles distant. His dog, a faithful companion and splendid specimen of the Newfoundland species, accompanied him. On arriving at his destination ho found himself minus a yory important mcdicino, which was essentially necessary in tho treatment of tle caso, and which could not be obtained in the vicinity. The critical condition of the patient would not admit of his returning for it. In this emergency he bethought of trusty " Ma jor" who was ever willing to obey his man dates. Tho Doctor accordincly wroto a let- tcr to his student, (who slept in the office,) wrapped it in a pocket hankcrchicf and so- curely fastened it about the neck of "Major," then dismissed him for home. The intelligent dog readily obeyed. Twelve at night found him howling at tho office door ; his familiar Voico awakened tho clerk, who let hirn in and again retired, but this would not answer the had admitted a strango possibly a mad ani- mul, got cautiously up for his musket. Tho dog instantly becamo quiet ; a match was lighted, when " Major," with a friendly wag of tho tail, approached, and with a piteous whine attracted . tho clerk's attention to his burden; tho letter was removed, "Major" fed a hoarty supper, when tho handkerchief with remedies was adjusted, and tho trusty valet set out on his return trip, which was ac- complishcd before noon the neat day, carrying the medicines safely, and having traveled the distanco of l'-'O miles within a day and a half. This marvelous feat of canine fidelity is well authenticated. Jitenh.e Wit.

Tlio Richmond South, which is- a tick reflex of Soutlmn sentiment, puts ill the following protest against submitting the Constitution of Kansas to the people of that Territory for approval or rejection r - The Convention has no authority to sn'onn't its work to tho popular approval.
