HE LATE ABOLITION CANDIDATE FOR
THE PRESIDENCY, ON "THE FAITH OF
CONTRACTS. Senator Norris, in his late
speech in the United States Senate, quoted
John p. Hale against the Missouri Com
promise, with signal effect:
''Sir, (said MIR. Norris if recollect
arlght, after the omnibus of 1850 had
been upset In this body, and nothing re-
NAMED IN it but the Utah territorial bill,
the honorable Senator from Illinois moved
that the southern boundary line of that
territory should be on the line of &c deg.

JACOBS DREAM.

Ny W
TIL. sun was sinking on tbe mouhtan zone
mr., guards thy wales OF beauty, Palestine:
and Jovrty from the desert rose the moon,
Vet lingering on the horizon's purple line,
Like pure spirit DER ITS earthly shrine.
I'm Padan arams height, abrupt and bare,
a piIgrim toId, and on on days decline
Iook,d pale, hen paused for ewes delicious air;
The Summit gain'd he knelt, and breathsd his even
ing prayer. 70 ss
He spread his cloak and slumber'd darkness fell
Upon the twilight hills a sudden sound
Of silver uumpets DER him seen'd To swell;
Clouds heavy with the tempest gather'd round,
Vet was the whriwnd in its caverns found;
still deeper roIl'd the darkness from on high,
Gigantic volume upon volume wound,
Above a pillar shooting 20 the sky;
Below, a mighty sea, that spread necessarily.
Voices are heard-a choir Of golden strings.
Low winds, whose breath is loaded with The rose;
Then chariot wheels-the nearer rush of wings;
Pale lightning round the dark pavilion giows
sIt thunders-the respondent gates unclose;
Far as the eye can glance, on height DER height,
Rise fiery waving win IL, and crown'd brows,
Millions on millions, brighter and more bright
Till all is lost in one supreme, unmingled light
But lol beside the sleeping pilgrim stand,
Like cherub, Kings, with lifted, mighty plume,
Fixed bright eyes, and looks of high command;
They tell the Patriarch of his glorious doom;
Father of countless myriads that shall come,
Sweeping the land like pillows Of the sea.
Bright as the stars of heaven from twilght's Gloom
Till He is given whom Angels long 10 see - -
And Israels splendid line is crownd with Diety.

CHS Cousin. THE BISHOP One morn
ing, Haines, the comic actor, was seized
By couple of baillffS, in an action for a
debt of go, as the Bishop of Ely was
passing by in his coach. Quoth Joe to
the bailiffs
Gentlemen, here's my cousin, the
Bishop of Ely, going into his house; let
me but speak to him, and he will pay the
debt and charge"
The bailffs thought they might ven
ture that, as they were within three or
four yards of him. So up sprang Joe to
the coach, pulling off his hat, and got
close to it. The Bishop ordered the
coach to stop, while Joe (close to his earl
said softly: =
"My Lord, here are two poor men, who
have such great scruples of conscience
that fear they will hang themselves"
Every well," said the Bishop. So
calling to the two bailiffs, he said:
''1ou two men come to me tomorrow
morning, and I'll satisfy you"
The men bowed and went away. Joe,
hugging himself with his fallacious de-
vice, also went his way.
In the morning, the bailiffs expecting
the debt and charges, repaired to the
Bishops being introduced
Well, said the Bishop. "what are
your scruples of conscience g"
L" Scruples, y said the bailiffs, eve have
no scruples. We are baihffs, my lord,
who yesterday arrested your cousin, Joe
Heines, for go. Your lordship prom
ised to satisfy us to-day, and we hope
Your lordship will be as good as your
word"
The worthy Bishop, rejecting that his
honor and nam would be exposed, if he
complied not, paid the debt and charges.
