Tea was at length announced. Ed.
wards heart trembled. His mother
arose, and with rather cold air accom-
panied her children to the room wher,
the evening meal awaited them. Ths
table had an attractive look, new to tht
eyes ofboth Edward and his mother. |,
was plain that another hand besides the
servants had been there. Ida poured
the tea and Edward served the hot bis.
cult and cream toast. The eyes Of the
latter were on his mother, rs she lifted
with an air which he understood to say,
"Poor stuff" the cup Of tea to her lips
She tasted the fragrant beverage-set
the cup down-lifted and tasted again.
The infusion was faultless. Yes, even to
her critical taste. Next the biscuit, and
next the toast were tried. Mrs. Goodfel-
low herself could not have surpassed them.
.llave you changed yourcookr T. The
old lady looked across the table, curious.
ly, at Ida.
"No, MOTHER" answered the Young
wife, smiling. 'Only, the cook has found
mistress" ...
as this all your work, Ida' The old
lady spoke in half incredulous tone.
AYES, it is all my work. Don't you
think, il try hard, Ill make house
keeper in time ~
This was so unexpected, that the hus-
bands mother was delighted. Ida had
gone right home to her matter-of.fact
every day heart. H
"Why, yes, you precious little darlingw
she answered, with an enthusiasm almost
foreign to her character. 81 couldn't
have done better myself"
The shadow passed from the heart Of
Ida, as her eyes rested on the pleased
eountenancc of her husband. 1t was the
first shadow that had fallen since their
happy wedding day, and moved on quick
"; but its memory was left behind. Ii
was like the drawing of veil, which
partly conccals, vet beautifics the countc-
nance, revealing the enchanted express
sion.
Ida's husband was man, like the rest,
with mans common wants and weakness
es; and her married world one in which |
hands must take hold OF common duties.
But she soon learned that, in the real
world, were real delights, substantial and
abiding.
Bravely she did walk in the new path
that lay at her feet. She had her reward.
Tea and toast but expressed her house
hold duties, none of which were rightly
performed during that delicious honey
moon. But, she failed in nothing after
ward; and soon learned that the ground
in which true happiness takes deepest
root, and from which it springs up with
strongest branches is the ground Of COM
mon, homely duties.-Peterson's Naga-
-ine.

his sentiments very freely in regard to cur

utmost severity the administration Of Gen.

measure, the repeal Of the Missouri CON-
promise which he declares has been more
pernicious in its consequences than would
have been the repeal Of tho compromise
measures of 1850. As to Kansas, he thinks

Buchanan has agreed upon an armisticc on
that subject, the terms being that Kansas is
to be a free State, "because 1t was never in

Decision of the Supreme Court.

The late decision of the Supreme
Court has decided an important ques-
ton for Kansas-one which the mem
bers of that body, probably, did not
consider when they wrote out their
opinion. Their opinion though ex-
tra-judicial, was that Congress had no
power over the subject of slavery in
the Territories of the United States.
If Congress has no power over the
subject, creature Of their creation
has no power over it. A Territorial
Legislature is but the agent of Con-
gress. deriving all its powers from
that body. The Territorial Legisla-
ture must keep within the scope of
Its duties, and never exercise any
doubtful authority. It follows that
any act or thing done by the Terrific
rial Legislature of Kansas, or any
other Territory of the United States
sanctioning, endorsing. or protecting
slavery. or slave property, is usurped
authority, and hence. is illegal and
void. Slavery being e creature of
iat0, and 'sonly existing by force of
positive municipal law has no legal
existence in Kansas. Such is virtu-
ally the decision of the highest legal
authority In the United States, and
such must be their action on any case
which may find its way there. on ap-
peal or otherwise?

eerest thanks, and my earnest prayers
that you may be abundanly rewarded
of Heaven.
To the ladies of the Territory-the
wives, mothers, sisters and daughters
of the honest settlers-I am also un-
der a weight of obligation. Their
pious prayers have not been raised in
vain, nor their numerous assurances
of confidence in the policy of my 'ad-
ministration failed to exert salutary
influence.
And last, though not least, must
not be unmindful of the noble men
who form the Military Department OF
the West. To General PERsIFER F.
SHrH, and the officers acting under
his command, I return my thanks fol
many valuable services. Although
from different parts of the Union, and
naturally imbued with sectional preju-
diees, know of no instance in which
such prejudices have been permitted
to stand in the way of faithful, ready
cheerful and energetic discharge of
duty. Their conduct in this respec
is worthy of universal commentator
and presents bright example fol
those executing the civil power. The
good behavior of all the soldiers whc
were called upon to assist me, is, il
fact, deserving of especial notice. Many
of these troops, officers and men, had
served with me on the fields of Mexi
co against foreign foe, and it is {
source of no little satisfaction to know
that the laurels there won have beer
further adorned by the praiseworthy
alacrity with which they aided to al
lay a destructive fratricidal strife Al
home.
With a firm reliance in the protect.
ing care and overruling Providence OF
that Great Being who holds in His
hands the deStinies alike of men and
of nations, bid farewell to Kansas
and her people, trusting that whatever
events may hereafter befal them, they
will, in the exercise of His wisdom
goodness and power. be SO directed a.
to promote their own best interest ant
that of the beloved country of which
they are destined to form a most i'm.
