4 Sketch for Young People,
BY AUSTIN C. BURBANK.

In a small country village lived q
wealthy machinist named Clark. BY
industry and perseverance he had COL
lected a handsome property, but he
still carried on business as before
save that he did not work at the bench,
having as much other business as he
could attend to. Among bis workman
was youth named Nathan Wilder -
Nathan was now almost twenty one
years of age and had been in Mr.. Clark's
employ nearly seven years, having been
bound to him as an apprentice He
was a young man of more than ordinary
intelligence, and was respected and
loved BY all who knew him. His direct
qualities all good, and his personal ap-
pearance was not only manly, but emf
nently handsome.
Yet Nathan had one fault. He had
contracted a habit of assooiating with
some of the reckless, uuprincipled
youths Of the town. He loved to 20
away in the evening and meet them at
some store or ball, and join with them in
laugh, story and jests and bis social
nature was Of that ardent impulsive kind
which leads one to join in just such
spsrt as may chance to be started. Such
q youth would never project bad plas,
but should his companions do 80, he
would be almost sure to join them.
Some Of these youths were low and de-
graded j, character but yot managed

Waiting for the Train.


BY CARL CANTAB.
Snow-drifts in the valleys,
Snow-drifts on the plain,
Snow-drifts on the highway,
Snow-drifts in the lane,
Bless me, how delightful,
Waiting for the train!
Forty anxious passengers,
Depot nine by seven,
Holds by dint of squeezing,
Only twenty-seven!
Fat man OH the platform,
Half obscured by snow,
Tries to wedge inside-desists,
Finding it, co.
Woman with baby,
Cannot get a chair.
Holds the little innocent
Dangling in the air;
Baby rather fractious,
Goes against his grain,
In CROWDED uepOt,
Waiting for the train
Lawyer from the city,
Looks little down,
Just received some evidence,
jenkins versus Brown
Can't help feeling nervous,
Case comes on to-day,
He, defendants counsel,
Thirteen miles away!
Hours grow out of minutes,
Time speeds on apace,
Snowflake after snow fake,
Leads a merry chase.
Passengers get wrathy,
Bitterly complain,
Do not seem to relish
Waiting for the train!
Old maid with band-box
And trunk of hair,
Sitting in the corner,
With doleful air;
Thinks it more than probable,
Thought how full of fright,)
In that crowded depot
She must pass the night.
Tall men dressed in broadclotb,
Looking very glum,
Thinks the end of all things
Very nearly come.
Largely quote from Daniel
Making it quite plain,
That the world, like us, is,
Waiting for the train
Snow-drifts in the valley,
Snow-drifts on the plain,
Snow-driits on the highway,
Snow-drifts in the lane,
Bless me, how delightful
Waiting for the train!

THE GOVERNOR AND TIE ASSEMBLY,.

The majority in our New. \ Ork House OfAssembly,
made up Of Hunker KnOw-Nothinss and Slavedriv-
ing Democrats, have involved themselves in AL odd
and most discreditable quarrel with the Governor,
which il likely to place both the Legislature and
the State in very awkward predicament The
amended Constitution of the State Of New-IOrk,
with view to coniine the annual session of the
Legislature within reasonable limits, provides that
the members of the Legislature shall receive for,
their services sum not exceeding three dollars
80 day. from the commencement of the session.
"but such pay shall not exceed in TIE aggregate
three hundred dollars for per diem allowance,
except in proceedings for Impeachment The
Constitution also gives the power to the Governor
Ito convene the Legislature on extraordinary Occa-
"siOns," and il provides that when SO convened
the members shall be paid three dollars per Jay
without limitation as to time
The object and intent OF these constitutional
provisions are perfectly obvious. We shall not
stop now To discuss their wisdom or their expedis
eDcy. Wise or foolish, cxpedient or NOT, they are
the law of the land, and such are entitled to be
obeyed. Ii cannot be pretended that they run
NNVhNl ~ on. man . NNhhNttICN ll.ites lIuftN Nt
ought 10 except those whose consciences happen
10 lie in their pockets. Bat, however numerous
that class If men may be in the community at
large, il is not to be presumed that any of them
can have found their way into the Legislature.
The plain intent Of the Constitution is to rive the
members of the Legislature three hundred dollars
year as the outside limit Tor their services in pro-
duciDg the annual batch Of laws. If they finish up
that batch Of laws in hundred days or sooner then
they are TO be raid at the rate Of three dollars
day; but if they chose to spend great part OF their
time in useless debates and political squabbles. or
unnecessary vacations that ii takes longer 10 get
through the regular annual business, then for
that surplus time they shall Get nothing.
Now, what has the Assembly attempted to do by
breaking off the session at the end of the hundred
days leaving the State without any Apr opriation
act, any act to regulate the sale OF intoxicating
liquors, or any apportionment act under the new
State census, not to mention other matters of less
Importance Plainly and simply this: To force
the Governor into combining with them to nullify
defeat and set aside this plain and distinct pro-
vision Of the Constitution, that for the regular an

DUSTY AND FILTHY STREETS.

We are now just out of long, severe Winter,
when successive snow-falls, resolved into ice,
blocked up the streets. But these have disap-
peared, or are disappearing-tbanks to carting and
sunshine-from the principal thoroughfares. But
behind, as in Broadway, is left huge amount of
dirt, which the daily friction of wheels grinds into
dust, to be blown by the winds into the eyes,
mouth, noses and clothes of the public. Filth yo-
liant, insinuating and intolerabe-such as would

Editorial Correspondence Of Tho N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, April 9, 1856.
did not, snd do not, consider it practicable b
make more conclusive argument in behalf of Free
Kansas than that which Judge CoLLAMER closed
last Friday. / refer Of course to his matter; in
manner and dictiOn, Judge c. is neither Burke nor
Webster, but simply plain, earnest, able jurlst
evolving and arranging the facts and applying the
law with conscientious uprightness and candor.
But the obvious moderation Of his statements, the
innate and rigid conservatism Of bis views his rev.
erence for judicial authority and the traditions OF
the eders-all these are elements which contribute
to the cogency of his effort for Kansas. Had
Charles Sumner made this Speech-to suppose a
case not fairly suppOsable-it would not have ex-
erted nearly 30 much influence with the country as
it now will. The weight OF the author is part of
the momentum Of his work.
Gov. Stewards Speech to-day was, of course,
very ditferent-a difference not of degree but OF
kind Its delivery was a surprise to me; for,
though / have heard Gov. S. speak WELL in spite
of the huskiness of his voice, never heard him
speak 50 well. Some Members who listened TO-
day insisted that be spoke decidedly better at the
frst Anti. Nebraska caucus Of the two Houses
they say, better than any one else has spoken or
eouid speak. But those meetings are open TO
Members only, so / have 10 other than hear
say knowledge of them. / have heard no
speech in the Senate, however, into which
the utteIer threw bis whole sOul more COM
pletely than Gov Seward did into his to-day.
Though be had much to say, he was not hurried;
he knew bis words were worthy the attention Of
his peers, and that they knew it as well. And
am confident there has not been less writing, or
conversation attention TO nothing in particular,
during any speech made in the Senate since Clay
and Webster left it. The fixed regard Of the
slavehOlding Senators, generally, was remarkable
improvement on their former habits on Ike oecs'
sions. One or two of them seemed 20 find the
seats unbearably hot, and danced fsom one 70
another-now on this side of the Chamber, then
on that-as if unable 10 fad anywhere comfort
able portion. The majority on the other hand,
sat and listened, as if to q judgment that could
hardly be borne, yet could not be resisted.
Think the originality OF this effort must have
impressed tself on most of its hearers. Here ws
haze been having speeches on Kansas, her Elec'
tions, Reeder, Whitfield, the Border Rutiisns, the
bogus Legislature, the Missouri invaders and their
laws, for month"; until it would seem that nothing
remained unsaid; but new man appears in the
FORUM and the drama assumes grander proporuoas
and is seen through more transparent medium.
The facts range themselves in order; the State Oh

The Circular of the Pittsburgh National Com
mittee, published in another column, calling for the
appointment of delegates to meet in Convention at
Philadelphia on the 18th of June (the anniversary
of the battle of Bunker Hill) is e very strong
document. Ii places in clear and distinct light
the political controversy now pending in this coun-
try between the Black Oligarchy of $4,000 slave
holders living the extorted abOrs of four millions
of slaves, and claiming to control the social,
economical, and political interests of the nation,
on the one hand; and on the other the great mass
of the freemen of the country who live by their
own labor Unlike most political addresses it has
little defamation, but is chiefly made up of strik-
ing and instructive facts 1t is impossible that
documents like this should be extensively dilused
without producing a powerful effect upon the
public mind. Nothing hut gross ignorance Of
the facts Of the and Oft the real points at issue,
enables the slaye-dryng party to muster more than
a corporal's guard in any Free State.

SENATE, april lO.-The proposition to print the me-
moral of the Kansas Legislature was taken up. The
Pro Slavery members fought hard eg anst it, finding
all Of excuses for opposition The last dodge
was to deny its authenticity, because it was copy

Mr.. Hamlin made pungent comparison of tins appi-
cation to be heard with the petitions sent by our
fathers to Parliament which were KEEP; out by Lord
North. Mr.. Butler replied that Lord North did his
duty in opposing such petitions The debate very
sharp and at times highly exciting. Finally the me
mortal was referred to the Committee Territories;
and then Gen. Cass asked and obtained leave to with
draw it,. Adjourned.

on Elections declaring Mr.. p. Il. Fouke not duly
