And though hushed be his gable Of music we're

When he drags the old cal by The tail
Now calling and bawling,
And falling and sprawling,
And mauling and squaing
Al work aud at play;
In the dish-water padding,
Or Jowler pack saddling,
Or about undertaking,
He passes the day.
Tho his third year is ended this present Sepiem-

He's equal 10 any al five;

Election OF United states senator for
Maryland.

The two branches Of the Legislature yester-
day in joint convention elected Anthony Ken.
nedy, esq, Of this city, a Senator of the United
States from the 4th Of March, 1851, to succeed
Hon. Thomas @. Pratt, whose term then ex.
pires. This is in accordance with the previous
action of the caucus Of the political majority
of that body held the night before. The vote
in Mr.. Kennedy's favor is so large as to indi.
cate that he had secured about the whole
strength Of the Know.nothing membership, he
receiving 81 out Of IS votes cast. The demo-
Gratis appear to have voted blanks, there being
twelve such, while one vote was cast for Mr.
Pratt. A resolution had been adopted the pre-
vlous day by the Senate for postponing the
election till the 9th instant, but the House re-
fused to concur. II will be seen that some ex.
ception is taken by some in the Legislature to
the accomplishment Of this election at this
time, on the ground that Mr.. Pratt's term not
having expired BY year or more, there is
some conflict Of prerogative in. the case
which, however, we should hardly think trouble.
The vote cast for Hon. Henry Winter Davis, Of
this city, in the Know. nothing nominating
caucus, it seems, embraced only three members

A slave Case In the Supreme Court.

An important slave case from Missouri is
now before the United States Supreme Court.
The points particularly in issue are, first, the
right Of citizens Of slaveholding States to carry
their slaves into non-slaveholding States for a
temporary sojourn there, without the loss OF
their right Of property in such slaves; and next,
the constitutionality Of the Missouri compro.
mise, as involved in the question Of the right
Of Congress to legislate with reference to
slavery in the United States territories The
Union says the Hon. Reverdy johnson, Of
Maryland, one Of the counsel engaged in the
case, spoke at great length on Wednesday, and
with more than bis accustomed ability. His
mastery and elaborated argument against the
constltutionality Of the Missouri Compromise
was listened to with the most profound atien.

DECREE
A Know-nothing among the Monks-Hs
Opinion OF Them.

Opinion OF Them.
DIR. Foote, of Buffalo, who is travelling in
Europe with ex-President Fillmore, has written
several very interesting letters to the Buffalo
Commercial. While at Florence they visited
a monastery, of which the DR.. writes
Yesterday we went to the Pharmacy of the
monastery, connected with the church Of Santa
Maria Novelia. In this monastery the monks
devote their leisure hours to operations not
much more reconcile than those Of an Eng
lish gentle woman in the good old times, when
disiillery room and the conservation of sweet
herbs, and the preparation Of perfumed waters
were essential to her character. The rooms
into which ordinary visitors are admitted. are
Of good dimensions, and handsomely decorated.
The people are very civil and attentive, and
the articles they selI-such as perfumery, soaps,
and scented waters-are the best of their kind.
The dispensary is admirable, and is noble
charity. The little courts are stocked with
choice and beautiful plants, cultivated in the
best manner. We Protestants are apt to con.
s'der the monks mere drones perhaps worse,
for prohigacy is often imputed TO them NV
acquaintance with them-and have known
them in various couutries-leads me to n
different conclusion. There may be bad men
among them--there are in most societies.
but, AS body, think them sincere, though in
an erroneous belief. The monotony of their
lives must press heavily upon them Mt times,
and many make efforts to relieve it BY engap
ing in various pursuits, which will occupy their
minds. Science and literature are deeply in.
debled to the monks. To the Benedictines es-
pecially, classical learning has obligations it
can never repay.
