utation, who lurk in the by-ways of So

the blood Of innocence, and, hyena-like,

WOman's Grave,

We can pass by the tomb Of man
with somewhat of calm Indifference,
but when we survey the grave of fe-
male sigh inyoluntarily escapes US.
With the holy name of woman, we as
sociate every soft, tender and delicate
affection. We think of her as the young
and bashful virgin. with eyes sparkling,
and cheeks crimsoned with each I'M
passioned feeling of the heart; as the
chaste and virtuous matron, tired with
the tollies Of the world, and preparing
for the grave to which she must soon
descend. There is something in con-
templating the character Of woman,
that raises soul far above the level of
society. She is formed to adorn and
humanize mankind, to soothe his cares
and strew his way with flowers. In the
hour of distress she is the rock on which
he leans for support, and when fate calls
him from existence her tears bedew his
grave. Can you look upon her tomb
without emotion 2 Man has always JUS
tice done to his memory woman never.
The pages of history lie open to one /;
but the meek and unobtrusive excellen-
cies of the other sleep with her unno-
ticed in the grave. In her may have
shown the genius of poet, with tho
virtues of saint. She, too, may have
passed along the sterile path of exist
enre. and felt for others as we now feel
for her. ...... -..

The BarefOGted Printer Boy.

The 'Pittsburg Morning Ariel, gives
the following story of distinguished

Some thirty years ago barefootod

lumber raft, and arrived at Harris
burg. He came from the north, and
belonged to a large family all his
worldly goods were tied up in q little
pocket handkerchief. He sought and
obtained employment in printing Of
fee as an apprentice. From an ap-
prentice to q journeyman, from jour
neyman to n reporter, from a reporter
to an editor, the printer boy worked
his way, against obstacles which the
suffering poor only know. The perse-
verance with which he followed in Frank.
Inns footsteps began to realize from him
the fruits of toll and privation. The
young aspirant became printer to the
State, aud by frugal management was
soon enabled to accomplish the object
nearest his heart-the establishment of
his mother in home above want, and
in possession Of every comfort she could
desire. His brothers we're his next care;

utterly useless? No strength to defend,
no strength even to fly sft s.
~ There is sure wall for the defence

build us up sure WALL
You are my strength now said the
boy. Il thank God that you did not

We are too poor to satisfy them, and
they will pour their vengeance upon u.s.
And yet you ought to leave me What

God will be our refuge and our de-
fence still said the mother and at
length, with low, quicting words, she
stilled the anxious boy, till he, too, slept
like his sisters.
The morning came of the day that
would bring the dreaded enemy. The
mother and children opened their eyes
to fad that sure wall, had indeed been
built for their defence. The snow had
begun to fall the evening before. Dur
ing the night it had collected rapidly.
A high wind had blown the snow in
drifts against the low house, so that it
had entirely covered it. A low shed
behind protected the way to the out
house, where the animals were; and for
few days the mother and her children
kept themselves alive within their cot
tage, shut in and concealed by the heavy
barricade of SLOW.
1t was during that time that the
dreaded scourgc passed over the village e;
every house was ransacked all the
wealthier ones deprived of their luxu-
ries, and the poorer ones derived of their
necessities. But tho low rooted cottage
lay sheltered beneath its wall of snow,
which in the silent night had gathered
around it. God had protected the de-

with which to aid them-a indomitable
perseverance, that nothing could sue

too, with his sisters, were independent
in the world /; the once barefoo.ed prin-
ter boy was in possession of affluence,
surrounded by young and affectionate
family. He was the friend of the
friendless, q patron of merit, and an
encourager of industry. He rose in
honor and office, until the barefooted
printer boy who entered printing Of
ice in Harrisburg, hungry and weary,
laid down his bundle on pile of wet
paper and asked to become a printers
apprentice, was elected United States
Senator. This man is Simon Cameron,
the late Secretary Of War, and now

The Message Of the president-The
Emancipation Bill Signed.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Thc Presi-
dent returned to the House to-day, with
his signature appended, the bill abolish
ing slavery in the District of Columbia,
accompanied by the following mcsoagc:
FeNyee Citizens ef tie Senate
and House Of Representatives
The Act entitled An act for the re-
lease of certain persons held to service
or labor in the District of Columbia
has this day been approved and signed.
| have never doubted the constitu-
tional authority of Congress to abolish
slavery in this District, and | have ever
desired to see the National Capital freed
from the institution in some satisfactory
way. Hence, thero never has been, in
my mind, any question upon the sub
ject, except the one of cxpediency, a.
rising in view of all the circumstances.
IF there be matters within and about
this act which might have taken course
or shape more satisfactory to my judg-
mcnt, do not attempt to specify them.
I am gratiied that the two principles of
compensation md colonization are both
recognized and practically applied in the
acts
In the matter of compensation it is
provided that claims may be presented
within ninoty days from the passage of
the act, but not thereafter, and there
is no saving for minors, fcmos-covert,
insane, or absent persons. | presume
this is an omission by mere oversight,
and I recommend that it be supplied by
an nmendatory or supplemental act
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
The President has nominated to the
Senate James G. Barrct, cx-Mayor of
Washington, Hon Samuel +. Vinton,of
Ohio, and Daniel r. Goodloe, formerly
of North Carolina. Commissioners under
the act for the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia, whose duty it
will be to investigate and determine the
validity and value Of the claims pre-
sented.

TOUCHING INCIDENT.

In tho campaign of Napoleon in Rus
sia, while the French army was retreat
ing from Moscow, there lay in poor,
low cottage, in little village, an in
valid boy. This village was exactly in
the course of the retreating army, and
already the reports of its approach had
reached and excited the terrified inhab-
itants. In their turn, they began to
make preparations for retreat; for they
knew there was no hope for them from
the hands of the soldiery, seeking their
own preservation, and who gave no
quarter. Every one who had the strength
to fly, fed; some trying to take with
them their worldly goods, some to con-
ceal them, the little village was fast be-
ing deserted. The old were placed in
wagons. and the young hurried their
families away with them.
But in the little cottage there was
none of this hustle. The poor crippled
boy could not move from his bed. The
widowed mother had no relatives or
friends near enough to spare thought
for her in this time of trouble, when
every one thought only of those nearest
to him, and of himself. What chance
of fight was there for her and her young
children, among whom one was the poor
crippled boy?
1t was evening, and the sound Of
distant preparations had died away The
poor boy was wakeful with terror, now
urging his mother to leave him to his
fate, now dreading lest she should take
him at his word, and leave him behind.
The ncighbors are just going away:

Katie Lee and Willie Grey.

Two brown heads with tossing curls,
Red lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet white and wet with dew,
Two eyes black and two ewes blue,
Little boy and girl were they,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They were standing where brook,
Bending like shepherds crook,
Flashed its silver, and thick ranks,
OF green willow fringod the banks;
Half in thought and half in play,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They had cheeks like cherries red,
He was taller-'most head
She, with arms like wreath of snow,
Swung basket to and fro,
AS she lotered, half in play,
Chattering TO Willie Grey.
"Pretty Katie" Willie said
And there came dash of red
Through the BROWNIES Of his cheek
"Boys arc strong and girls are weak,
And I'll carry, SO | will,
Katio's basket up the hill"
Katie answered, with laugh,
"You shall Carry only half"
And then, tossing back her curls,
"Boys are weak as well as girls.
Do you think that Katie gnessed,
Half the wisdom she expressed ?
Men are only boys grown tall.
Hearts don't change much after all,
And when, long years from that day,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey
Stood again beside the brook,
Bending like shepherds crook.
Is it strange that Willie said
While again dash Of red
Crossed tho BROWNIES OF his check

Life is but slippery steep,
Hung with shadows cold and deep"
"Will you trust me, Katie dear
Walk beside me without fear;
May carry, # | will,
All your burdens up the hill %
And she answered with q laugh,
"No, but you may carry half"
Close beside the little brook,
Bending ike shepherds crook.
Washing with its silver hands,
Late and early at the sands,
Is a cottage, where, to-day,
Katie lives with Willie Grey.
In a porch she sits, and 10!
