As alover Of the constitution; the

all will unite with tho Patriots Of this
country, in the pursuit Of that ma

serve it from infraction or wanton

thing will better afford us that sccu- /

''Wilmot Proviso." the Protective

many other unconstitutional meas
ures runous TO Tie country, violative
of the constitution, oppressive TO the

very hard, that you in your declining years must
labor for your bread. and that Of your children.
Oh it is 81 sad that you must wear your life
out thus; you who have known naught but af

The lady who thus lamented the misfortune
Of her father was richly attired, and sat lri1ing
with The petals Of newly blown rose. Before
her was chess board and chess men arranged
for game. Hour after hour she thus vast ed
her time, and while her father loiled TO earn her
bread, she raised not her hand, but to spend
what her father had wasted his strength to earn.
Within aru;her parlor sits a fair young girl
of scarce sixteen summers, upon whose brow
there is no trace of care or sorrow. We will
listen to villa, she is saying to her aged sire, and
then Judge what has made her thus happy.
"Father, dear father, am very happy to day;
and this has been the most important day of my
lire."
"WiIl you explain yourself my child" asked
her father.
The happy girl held up the skirt of a dress
embroidered in Il most elegant style, saying,
"ls it not perfectly beautiful 2" For moment
the lofty brow of her parent was contracted,
and he seemed absorbed in sad reflections, but
with kindness replied:

"Dcar father, do not talk thus" said the fair

parted lips Of her parent, "why should | not
do something to oligh,cn the weight of care that
has fallen upon my father? Although my path

Her father pressed her to his breast, proud of
