A Pleasant Surprise.

A young man of eighteen or twenty a stu
dent in a university, took walk one day
with professor, who was commonly called
the students friend, such was his Kindness
to the young men whom it was his Office to
instruct.
While they were now walking together,
and the professor was seeking to lead the
conversation to grave subjects, they saw a
pair of old shoes lying in the path, which
they supposed belonged to poor man who
had nearly finished his days work.
The young student turned to the profess
sor, saying:
"Let us play the man trick we will
hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind
these bushes, and watch to see his perplexi-
ty when he cannot find them"
''My dear friend" answered the professor,
eve must never amuse ourselves at the ex-
pense Of the poor. But you are rich, and
may give yourself much greater pleasure
by means of this poor man. Put dollar
in each shoe, and then we will hide our
selves"
The student did so, and then placed him.
self, with the professor, behind the bushes
hard by, through which they could easily
watch the laborer, and see whatever wonder
or Joy he might express.
The poor man soon finished his work, and
came across the field to the path where he
had left his coat and shoes. While be put
on his coat he slipped one foot into one of
his shoes; feeling something hard, he stoop-
ed down and found the dollar. Anstonish-
ment and wonder were upon his counte-
nance; he gazed upon the dollar, turned it
around, and looked again and again; then
he looked around on all sides, but could see
no one. Now he put the money in his peck
ct, and proceeded to put on the other shoe !;
but what was his establishment when be
found the other dollar! His feelings over
came him; he fell upon his knees, looked
up to heaven, and uttered a loud and fervent
thanksgiving in which he spoke of his wife,
sick and helpless, and his children, from
some unknown hand, would be saved from
perishing.
The young man stood there deeply afFec-
ted, and with tears in his eyes.
"Now," said the professor, care you not
better pleased than if you had played your
intended trick?"

At the time the cession was made, domes-.
tic slavery existed in the States of Maryland
and Virginia: itstill exists there; and it has
also existed here from that day to this. Now,
how is it possible to mistake what must have
been the understanding of both parties at the
time? No man, it strikes me, can doubt for
a moment who will regard, without prejudice,
the relative position of this ten miles
square," the objects of the cession, and the
manifest interests of the States making it.
Who can believe that these patriotic States
would have parted with their territory, if they
could have supposed that the rights and prop
erty of their citizens, living upon it, were to
be invaded, against their consent and in def
ance of their circumstances? have no hes
itation in saying that consider slavery a so.
cial and political evil, and most sincerely wish
that it had no existence upon the face of the
earth; but it is perfectly immaterial how i
may be regarded, either by you or myself

ent States by the Constitution are blessings OF

Further, Mr.. President, suppose, for
moment, that the cession had not been made
and that the states of Maryland and Vii
ginia should now attempt, without the con
sent of the inhabitants of the District, t
interfere with this description of propert
to abolish slavery within these portion
of their respective limits, and retain it ur

What would be the consequence? Why
the law could never be enforced and ever

because the States have generously cedc

AnecdOte of the late Sir Robert Peel

No one could see his countenance and hear
his speech, when after six months of anxious
reflection, he proposed his new scale of du-
ties in 1912, without being convinced that he
had begun to feel thoroughly doubtful of his
ground, the fearful distresses of his country
men had compelled him to look into the sub
ject more closely than he had ever done be-
fore, and to listen with more candor and at
tention to the reasonings of his opponents
The consequence was, that his mind became
utterly unsettled; be had to propose a law
at time when his old views had greatly sha-
ken, but when the antagonist views of the
free traders had not yet wrought full convic-
ton hence he defended his measure by ar
guments wholly unworthy of an intellect like
his, and for three years insisted on giving il
a fair trial But during all this period, as
was evident from his altered and hesitating
language, his mind was gradually ripening
for the final change; it was impossible for
him, charged as he was with the destinies Of
England, to sitnight after night in the House
of Commons, listening to the lucid expbsi-
lions, the crushing logic, of the small but in
defatigable band of the champions of CON-
mercial freedom, without finding first doubt,
then admiration and surprise, then conviction
successively creeping over him. We we'll
remember, as he sat silent after one of the
calm, clear, irrefutable speeches of Mr.. Cob

an unWonted impression on the house-ths
