Ah,r Mr.. Clay had concluded his

willing to admit california above So

slave Slate can be laid out in the terri

twelve years ago the question of power
to abolist slavery in the District was
argued in the Senate, and at least three
iourths OF the Senate decided in favor OF
the existence Of the power; but thought
the power would not be exercised with
out a violation Of good faith towards the
Estates that made the cession.
Mr.. Foote still thought that Congress

and In il ] beheld your own dear self, and
you were singing pleasant song away in
that blessed home. Oh, mother, cheer up, |
cheer upl"
When tho little boy lay down upon his
wretched couch that night, he wos changed:
His mothers great despair had transformed
him from a suffering child into a strong
hearted man--irom a weak and helpless de-
pendent, into an earnest, thoughtful worker;
henceforth his path was one of duty alone
and no allurement, he il ever so bright, could
turn him from il. Before him glittered for
ever guiding star; and his intense, absorb
ing gaze, neither the cares nor the vanties OF
life could for an instant divert, Existence
had for him but one object, and his utmost
energies were taxed for its attainment
Never did the sun rise in greater splendor
than on the New Years morning following
that night of hunger, gliding the spires and
domes of the city with its rays. The streets
were already rapidly filling with the gay
crowd seeking pleasure, and men walked
as though new life had been given them by
the general hilarty and the bracing air.
In the most crowded street was the news
boy, but not the disconsolatcd, wretchcd lad
WHO had plodded his way through the storm,
the night before, TO desolate home and q
supporless bed. You would not have recog-
nized him as he hurried along, eagerly intent
upon his avocation, and his face all radiant
with the great hope that struggled at his heart.
That night Joy visited the iorsaken fireside.
They had paid the landlord his rent and
still had sufficient left wherewith to purchase
food. 1t was merry New-Yeor for them.
Years came and went. Great changes
had taken place. The boy had grown to
manhood. High honors were conferred up
on him. Wealth flowed into his Golfers; his
praise was upon every tongue. And at this
very hour, upon the banks of the majestic
| Hudson, his mansion stands conspicuous
among u thousand others for its taste and ell
egance.
lie has but one companion--his aged mo-
ther-thc lonely-widow whom we saw some
years ago gazing mournfully into the fire, and
watching its Pickering light. His influence
was felt far and wide, and the poor and
wretchcd of every class and kind came
around him with their blessings,
Thank God thank God for every suffer
ing son of man, who thus comes up from the
deep shadow of despair into the blessed sun.
light, and, turning, gives his word of cheer
to the grouping millions beneath him.
Thank God thank God that, scattered
here and there throughout the world, in ma.
ny an humble home, may be found men and
women, unto whom life presents but little Of
hope or Joy, and yet who pass along amid its
desolate paths without murmer, sustained
and soothed, and blessed by this alone--A
CHEERFUL HEART.

From the New York Tribune.
Those Rochester 'Spirils.'


We received private letter yes
terday from one of the believers in the
verify and spirituality of the Revelations
at Rochester, Auburn, &C., who incidental
ly, and without any idea of its publication,
makes the following statements. The names
nre given in full in his letter, but we having
no right to use them in this connection, do
not. They arc those of most respectable
citizens of Rochester, utterly above the sus-
picion of fraud or collusion. Our cores
pondent says;
"Allow me to state fact which occurred
hut few days since: Mr.. G. w. and Mr.. J.
B. went to house in Rochester to hear the
sounds. There were abundant manifesto
tons in different parts of the house, when
signal for the alphabet was given, and these
words were spelled out MIR. B. do you be-
lieve this is all CANNON ?'-The company
looked astonished, when MIR. w. remarked
that Mr.. B. had said, while coming to the
house, Now, w. is not this all CANNON? p
Again: A Mr.. p. was there, who was very
skepical, and asked Who will communi-
cate with me p The answer by alphabet
was Your mother will.'-'Will my moth
er tell how old ! am PIT was raped ex-
actly-' How many years has she been dead p
1t was told correctly. - Now if this be really
the spirit of my mother, will she tell me
what were the last words she ever spoke p
The spelling was God will take care Of
you, my son.'-At this Mr.. L. burst into tears
and said, 'Those were my mothers dying
words, and | knoto that no one hero could
know anything about them.'-These are Of
the class of facts daily transpiring."
As we write, we find the above case stated
substantially as by our correspondent by an.
other person George Willets) in the Bur.
lingion Free Press, and this case added
thereto:
"Another instance: Mr.. and Mrs. Pier.
pont, persons of wealth and standing, living
in this city, were present where this commu'
nication is known, and gentle rapping wai
heard, and the question was asked, 'WhC
will communicate ? when the name of I
grandchild was spelled 10 them. The chile
then said, by the alphabet, Grandma, dom
you remember | was scalded to death ?'-
When they could iud utterance, they botl
stated that they had grandchild of the nam'
spelled to them, aud that he was scalded 81
that he died, some years since. No persol
present knew Mt that time whether MIR. AM
Mrs. Pierpont ever had any grandchildren
| might multiply incidents of this characte
almost ad iTyinitlfm, all proving most certain
ly that the communications are from tn
persons which they purport to he from; an,
that they are not dead, but alive, and ar
ue'y near us. These Spirits say that the
! are not idle, but busily engaged in the pur
suits which are congenial to them."
