INTELLECT IN RAGS.
BY VARA 3fONTROsE.
PART I.

1t was a bleak wintery day. Heavy
snowdrifts lay piled up in the streets Of
New York and the whole appearance of
the city was cold and dismal.
Seated upon the stone steps Of one of
the large dwellings on Fifth Avenue, was
a boy apparently thirteen years Of age.
He was literally clothed in rags, and his
hands were blue, and his teeth chartered
with the cold. Lying upon his knee was
a piece Of newspaper he had picked up
in the street, and he was trying to read
the words upon it. He had been oocu-
pied thus for some time, when two little
girls, clad in silk and furs, came toward
him. The eldest one about twelve years
old, and so beautiful that the poor boy
raised his eyes, and fixed them upon her
in undisguised admiration.
The child Of wealth stopped before
him and turning to her companion, ex-
claimed;
Marian, just see this fellow on my
steps, Boy, what are you doing here%
q am trying to learn to read upon
this little bit Of paper" answered the
boy.
The girl laughed derisively, and said ::
! We'll, truly have heard Of intel
I lect in rags, Marian, and here it is per-
sonifed."
Marian's soft hazel eyes flied with
tears, as she replied:
40 Louise do not talk SO; you know
what Miss Fannie teaches Us in school.
" The rich and the poor meet together,
and the Lord is the maker Of them all
Louise laughed again, and said TO the
boy:
Get up from here, you shall no. sit
on my steps, you are too ragged and dir
ty."
The boy arose, aud a burning blusI
crimsoned bis face. He was walking
away, when Marian said
"Don't 60, little boy, you are so cold
come into my house and get warm. o
do come" she continued, as be hesitated
and he followed her into The large kitch
en-, where bright fire was shedding it
genial warmth around.
Well, Miss Marian, who are yor
: bringing here now" asked the seryan
woman.
A poor boy who is almost perished
you will let him get warm, win you no
Rachel ?"
80, yes he shall get warm sit here

lRAsBURGH, VERMONT, FRIDAY. MAY IA, 1853.

But this ditty did not bring out
the snake. I remarked this to the old
man, who replied: He hasn't made
his toilet, yet-hasn t rubbed his scales up,
sir; but he'll be here presently. You
will see. Keep your eye on that hole,
sir. / am now going to give him a live
lier tune, which lis a great favorite of his .
and forthwith he struck up an old song,
beginning
& Twas in the merry month of May,
When bees from flower to flower did hum,
Out came the snake before the song
was half over! Before II was concluded
he had crawied slowly, and (if I dare use
such a word, rather magestically, to with
in few PAGES of the spot where the old
man was standing
Good morning to you, sir" said the
old man to the snake. " l am happy TO
see you in your new suit of clothes. l
have picked up your old suit, and have
got it in my pocket, and a very nice pair
ofslippers my old wife will make out Of
it, The last pair that she made out Of
your rejected apparel were given as a
present to Colonel Cureton, who, like my
self very much resemble the great Gen
eral Butcher in personal appearance
Who will get the pair Of which have
now the making, Heaven only knows
Perhaps old Brigadier White, who la:
also a Blucher cut about him. What
song would you like next? Kathleen
Mavourneen? Yes, know that is pc
song Of yours; and you shall have it."
The old man sang the melody with ;
tenderness and feeling which quite charm
ed me as we'll as the snake, who coileC
himself and remained perfectly STILL
Little reason as l had to doubt the trutI
Of any of the old mans statements,
certainly should have been skeptical as t
the story Of the snake, if 1 had not wit
messed the scene l have attempted to des
crbe.
"Wel, sir" said the old man, comm
up to me, after he had made salaam t
the snake and left him, it is almo:
breakfast time, and l will, with your pei
mission. bid you good morning"

The Right Tome.

The following is extract from letter written by
the Hon: Greene G, Bronson in reply to invitation
to attend democratic meeting in New York. to respond
to the Presidents message:
The only leading feature in relation to which there
can be any diversity of opinion among democrats is that
relating to the affairs of Kansas l should have been
better pleased if the whole constitution instead of the
slavery clause alone had been submitted to the decision
of the people of the territory. But it is, they will
have the opportunity of passing upon the question which
has so long disturbed their peace and agated the peo
pie in other quarters of the country and cannot doubt
that the public welfare will be best promoted by giving
Kansas State instead of territorial organization with
out delay 1t will transfer troublesome question from
Congress to the decision of the inhabitants of Kansas
who, like the people of other States, then reform
their constitution at pleasure and make their institutions
| such as they deem best to their condition.
While fully agree in the policy of the administration
on this question, will not quarrel with brethren of the
same political family who though they may entertain
and express different opinion, nevertheless ready to
acquesce in the decision of the majority Let have
no needless divisions The peace and prosperity of the
country depend in my Judgment upon the continued as
tendency OF democratic principles; and with ormda-
BILE party arrayed against ought to exercise toll
Grant spirit among ourselves"
That difference of opinion among democrats upon
questions of expediency will and should be tolerated is
too clear and Just to be disputed The readiness with
which the opposition seize upon any collision of iudg
ment in the democratic ranks should warn our friends
against allowing themselves to be induced to harbor
distrust of each other by the denncdtionS or coer
datos of their political adversaries. The great states
men OF the democratic party not to be driven,
coaxed from their old associates the abandonment of
the principles they have devoted all their strength and
their best days. to establishing by the passing shadow of
temporary controversy among themselves Momentary,
partial arrangements may take place, but the great
principles OF government which bind them together will
ultimately draw them to the PATH and ensure them
