We will take care 10 avoid such liberties on

From THE WASHINGTON CORES pom
DENoE OF THE TRIBUNE.-Mr. Bigle er's
written speech seemed to be the starting
point of interest. But it is now very much
doubted if it possessed any real significance
touching the policy of the new Administra-
tion- Indeed, he disclaimed yesterday
doing any thing beyond speaking for himself.
He wears the appearance of civil gentle
maa. bat if his moral tone be high, his posi-
ton and conduct In the debate belle him.
In fact it is of no use to expect grapes Of
throns or fgs of thistles. The Nor thern
doughface is an unmstakable type Of man
whose characteristic are ever the same.
Are they not written on the hearts of all
men9 Can the Ethiopian change his skin
or the leapar his spotsa Mr. Hale thrust a
fambau in their faces yesterday which great
ly exercised Mr.. Pugh of Ohio, who de-
monded if he meant him, Mr.. Hale dis
ciaimed, as of course he must, saying be
meapt nobody in tue Senate. Courtesy
demanded as much as this. Anthony could
say in his Grafton over the dead body of
Caesar: "Brutus is an honorable man, for
we are all honorable men," Brougham
called the members of the House of Lords
sshonorahle," though with more truth than
grace he sneeriogly added: "Honorable by
courtesy" Theremark has been made be-
fore: Separately you are very good fellows,
'sbut collectively precious set Of seoun-
drels." Thus We presume these individual
disclaimers to be very satisfactory TO the
parties concerned Ia moral aspect Mr..
Bigler was very badly damaged By Mr.
Hale, who called upon Mr. Butler Of South
Carolina TO rebuke him for his superseryi
cable efforts on the side of slavery, which
Mr. Butler had to do. though not without
great reluctance; and when he bad finished
eot up and left The Senate 1t was very
| bold, but most triumphant parliamentary
stroke on the part Of Hale, and must have
made Mr. Bigler, who seems a sensitive
man, wish himself down IN the toes OF ms
boots. lie Jared no better in another point
Of view at the hands of Trumbull, who de-
monstrated his obtuseness in his construc-
ton of Dunns' bill, to which, however, he
was doubtless led by the comments of that
prince Of misrepresentcrs, Douglas.

LITTLE WILLIE.
BY GURALD MASSEY.

BY GrRALD MASSEY.
Poor little Willie,
With his many pretty wiles;
Words of wisdom in his looks.
And quaint, quiet SMILES;
Hair of Amber, touched with
Gold of heaven SO brave;
All lying darkly hid
In a workhouse grave.
You remember Little Willie;
Fair aud funny fellow ] he
= sprangTlike a-litly
From. the dirt ofpoverty.
Poor little wilIiei
Not friend was nigh,
When, from TIE cold world,
He crouched down to die.
In the day we wandered foodess,
Little Willie cried for bread;
In the night we wandered homeless,
Little Willie cried for bed.
Parted at the workhouse door,
Not word was said:
And, so tired poor Willie,
Andso sweetly sleep the dead.
Twas in the dead of inter
We laid him in the earth;
The world brought in the New Year,
On tide OF nIirth.
But, for lost little Willie,
Not tear crave;
Cold and hunger cannot wake him
In his workhouse grave.
We thought him beautiful,
Felt it hard to part;
WeIoved him dutiful;
Down, down. poor besrti
The storms they may heat;
The winter winds may rave;
Little Willie feels not,
In his workhouse grave.

A SKETCH FOR NEW BEGINNERS IN LIFE
BY sYLvANUs CoBB, JR.

1t was at the end of the year, and
John Hodge. sat in his snug little sitting
Dom with a very long face. John wa:
a carpenter by trade, eightand twenty
years Of age, with good wife, aud three
good children. He lived in thriving
vii age, and received ten dollars week,
for his work, He was a good workm an
faithful, Industrious, honest, and steady.
He hired small house for which lie
paid sixty dollars year lie received
his pay every Saturday righ'.
We said john Lad a good wife. And
SO he had-one of the best=.wi in tie
country. She was not beauty, but
then she was pretty and intelligent and
good looks we're of that kind which grow
brighter uuder the influence of love, as
the wearer grows older. She was val
liable wife, and not a day passed but
John had occasion to bless the hour that
gave her to him for a companion.
The three childrea were boy and two
girls, aged six. four, and two, respective
ly-the boy being the oldest.
Il declare, Emma, this is too hard,
said John Hodge, in tone of mental
pain. L supposed I should certainly lay
up a hundred dollars this year; but l
have been to day AMI paid the last bill
owed, and 1 now fad mJsclfthe undis-
puted owner of three dollars and thirty
four centsr
is that all p Emma asked this with
a show of interest, but not with surprise.
In fact, her manner would rather imply
that she had expected this
Yes, that is all. Now can you tell
me where our money has gomez
Emma Hodge was woman of sense.
She knew very well that there was little
profit in telling the errors of the past
unless she could POINT them out plainly
aud separately. She did know where
tbe.money had gone, but she feared her
husband would not believe her if she
told him, for her own eyes had beer
opened only few weeks. However, she
ventured to say:
John, don't you think wc-(she said
VIC out of pure willingness 20 bear part
of the blame which she had incurred)-.
don't you think we've paid more for some
things we have bought than there was
any need of?'
How? When have I paid more than
there was need OFF ne asked, in pure
wonder.
We'll it seems to me that we have
paid SO number of times
But what is one ?'
We'll, there are the two glass lamps
in the parlOr. We paid six dollars for
them, when a pair for two dollars would
have done just as well Not one in a
hundred of our visitors know the differ
ence between cut glass and common pres
sed glass
Yes they do, Emms. If we are GO
ing to have lamps, let's have them. I
hate to see cheap thing stuck up in
sight. I'd rather go without money
than to be mean and stingy about my
things
Emma saw that he was troubled, and
she resolved not to argue the case with
him then. He was not in tho mood to
be contradicte3, and she would not touch
his feelings for the world; so she simply
said, as she placed her arms about his
neck and kissed him :. s.
