The TWO VIRGINIAs.-From an interview
which we have had with one Of the more rea-
sonable of the radical members Of Congress,
we think that the Senate does not intend to re-
the permanent dis1nembeclnent of Ylr-
ginia. he said that 1t is too unconstitutional,
and that to erect two States Of one, would be
SECESSION its most palbabIe form, aad IN oil
rect violation Of the following clause OF the
Contribution:
New States may be admitted by the Congress
into this Union; but no new State shall be
formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any
other State; nor any State be formed by the
junction of two or more States, or parts OF
States. without the consent Of the Legislatures
Of the States concerned, as well as OF the Con-
gress.'
To violate this clause, he remarked, would
not only be setting a had example, but would
lead probably, in less than ten years; to a total
extinction Of the attachment which the States
have for the Union: and that any respectable
party. in either New York, Ohio, OF Indiana,
o. in whatever State PARTIES might be equally
divided, could separate then States at pleasure,
and after recognizing the right to equal d1vls-
ion might go on ad utf1uijum, in their divisions,
until each county would want to be a ntate,
with House Of Delegates, and to send repre-
sentatiyes and senators to the y >. Congress.
Having once, he said, admitted the dlsmem-
berment Of any particular State, the precedent
would be formed, and no excuse could be mace
to prevent any State from erecting Itself at
pleasure, into Two Or more States. lie sud 1t
did not matter much it a State had TWO caplI-

HARD TIMES.

What makes you look so duh this
morning, Ellen?" inquired Mr. Ches-
ter, q youngmerchant in a small way,
to his wife.
They had been married about a
year, and thus far not an ill-natured
word had been spoken by them. At
his marriage, Chester had taken a
small, but neat and convenient house,
in the upper part of tho city. He
had been able to furnish it in a plain
manner, but since his marriage his
business lad added many articles Of
luxury to his small establishment.
The times had began to tighten
up however, and business was dull.
The notes were due, and he had to
sbestir himself to make his payments.
Fortunately for him, however, as
the stringency in the money market
began to weigh most heavily, his
fathers administrator placed him in
possession of 50, 600, which had been
reserved to await the contingencies Of
= law suit, and which had now been
satisfactorily adjusted.
With this sum he had been able to
pay off his more pressing demands,
and to lay by n surplus of $500 to
meet note which would fall due
sou1e two months hence.
The receipt Of this sum hud also
induced him to increase the Injuries
of his house. The parlor had been
newly furnished, and the old parlor
furniture placed in the sitting room.
They had everything that was neces-
sary for comfort and for creditahle
appearance.
"You look very dull" continued
the husband, as he rose from the
breakfast table.
Ellen looked up ut him with Ian
guild smile, but made no reply.
"What ails you?''
II was thinking how lonesome
should be here all day"
"Lonesomel Why don't you go
out, then, and take the air. Walk
down Washington street, and round
the common--it will revive your
spirits"
How absurd you talk! Walk
fonnd the common in the month OF
December. Why I should freeze to
death"

young hGsband, chuckling his wife
