VERMONT LEcIsLAruRE.

The Legislature of Vermont adjourned on
Thursday morning at G O'Clock, A. NJ, after
a session of five weeks. Our columns con.
tain a very full report of the most important
proceedings Of the week previous to Tues.
day evenings the remainder will he given
next week. The business of the session has
perhaps attracted less of public attention and
excited less general interest than usual. The
liquor law was amended by imposing moder-
ate fines for drunkenness and obtaining liquor
of town agents under false pretenses. Alaw
regulating assignments in eases of insolvency
was enacted; the right of reviewing cases in
the Circuit Courts was taken away by special
enactment; and the bill in relation to railroads,
drafted by a commission appointed by the
Governor last year, was somewhat amended
and then passed. The schools are left with
out any additional legislation; and no new
banks were chartered. Whatever else Of in
terest that has been done will duly appear
upon the publication Of the laws enacted dur
ing the session Just closed.

FREE STATE CosvEsTIoS IN KASsAs.-The dele
gate convention to form a state constitution for
Kansas, assembled at Topeka, the 23d uit. Col.
J. II. Lane, a representative in the last Congress
from Indiana, when he voted for the Nebraska-
Kansas bill was elected president ofihe convention
by IA out Of 70 votes east. This election Is not
very satisfactory to the settlers as Cot Lane was,
upon his arrival in Kansas, an, outspOken advocate
OF the administration. Finding how matters stood
IN Kansas he soon enrolled himself with the Free
State party, having. as 1t is pretty plainly intima-
ted. the United States Senatoship in view. Had
all the members elect been present at the opening
Of the convention the result would probably, have
been different. The following is al extract from his
speech upon assuming the chair -
When the Kanms-N Nebraska bin was before Con-
gress, no one Of Its supporters claimed that Kan
zas could ever become a slave state ; all, from the
highest to the lowest, discarded the idea that slave
ry could ever be extended within her borders
Our southern friends were among the most promi-
nent in pressing this position before tho country
The idea Of forcing slavery into Kansas tSas an
afierthoughf for sinister purposss-personal ag-
grandizement 1t is now the well-received opinion
that II q senatorial election had not been pending
in an adjoining state, the ridiculous and abortive
effort to force slavery upon the people Of kanEas
would not have been made"

PAssnoRK WILLIAMSON LIBERArrp.-0n saiur-
day, the Sd inst, Passmore williamson was
brought before Judge Kane and required to make
affirmation that he had not intended contempt Of
court in his return to the Wheeler habaus corpus,
and was willing to make true answers to the ques-
lions Of the court on the subject. Questions were
then proposed, similar to those propOunded hereto
fore, the answers TO which led 70 bis Incarceration.
Williamson responded as follows :-.ssinee the SER
vice Of the writ have not had the custody, pos
session or power over them nor have known
where they were except from common rumor or the
newspaper reports in regard 70 tieir public appear
ance in the city or elsewhere" Judge Kane then
pronounced the contempt Of Mr.. Williamson purged
and ordered his release. Thus has the Judge very
eiiectually backed out Of his awkward p~redicament.
Hs would be q much happier man Il any human
power could as efectually purge himself from the
contempt In which he is now held by the free peo-
Pile Of the north. His name will hereafter be as
closely associated with all our ideas Of Judicial tyr
amy as has been that ofJudge Jeffriss, his proto-
type.

Hes poor creature rejoined Trim Hoy

Continued tho Corporal, looking full upon my
uncle because he must endeavor TO please eve-
ry body. In the negligence of tho moment,
perhaps small paragraph pops upon him; he
hastily throws it TO the compostor--it Is inser-
ted-and he is ruined to all intents and purpo-
ses.' TOO much tho case, Trim, said my un-
clio with deep sigh, too-mdch-thc-case.
'An pleas your honor, continud Trim eleva-
ting his voice, and striking into an imploring
attitude, 'an' please your honor, this is not the
whole 60 on Trim, said my uncle, feeling
ly. The printer sometimes (pursued the
Corporal) hits upon pioce that pleases him
nightly, and be thinks it cannot but 60 down
with his subscribers; but, alas, sir, who can
calculate the human mindl He inserts 1t, and
it is all over with him. They forgive others,
but they can't forgive printer. He has
host to print for, and every one sets up for
critic. The pretty Miss exclairins why don't
ho give us more poetry, marriages and bon
mos? away with these state pieces The poll
tician clsps his specs on his nose, and runs it
over in search of q violent invective; he finds
mono: be takes his specs off, folds them, sticks
them in his pocket declaring them good for
nothing but 10 burn. So it goes. Every one
thinks II ought to be printed expressly for him
self, as he is subscriber, and yet after all this
complaining, would you believe it sir, (said the
honest Corporal, clasping his hands most be-
seechngly) would you believe it sir, there are
some subscribers, who do not hesitate to cheat
tho printer out of his payl Our army swore
terribly in Flanders, but they mover did any
thing so bad as thatp sNeverf said my Uncle

POOR BOY,s COLLEGE,.

The Printing Office has indeed proved q
better College to many poor boy, has gradu-
ated more useful and conspicuous members Of
society, has brought more intellect cpd turned
it into practical, useful channels, awakened
moro mind, generated more active and elvated
thought, than many Of the literary colleges of
the country. How many Ounce has passed
through these colleges with no tangible proof
of fitness other than his inanimate piece of
parchment; himself if possible, mere inani-
mato than his leather diploma There is
something in tho very atmosphere of print
ing Office calculated to awaken the minds and
inspire a thirst for knowledge. A boy who
commences in such school, will have his tall
ents and idcas brought out; il he has no mind
to draw out, tho boy himself will bs driven

THE ANGELS IN THE HOUSE.

Three pairs of dimpled arms, as white as snow,
Held me in soft embrace:
Three little cheeks, like velvet peaches soft,
Were placed against my face.
Three tiny pairs ofeyes so clear, so deep,
Looked up In mine this ev'n:
Three pairs of lips kissed me sweet good night"
Three little forms from Heaven
All, tits well that " little ones" should love u.s.
1t lights our faith when dim.
Toknow that once our pure Saviour bade them
Bring +" little ones" to himl
Said he not OF such is he wen," and blessed then
And held them TO his breast7
Is'tnot sweet to know that when they leave us,
'Tis there they go to rest.
And yet, ye tiny angels of my house!
Three hearts encased in mine
How 'twould be shattered, ifthe Lord should say
"These iges are not thine ~
