ton and charity were at last the chief defense
of o nation. It was enough for hiua to know
that within the jurisdiction of the common
Government of this country there were men
end women and children starving. and lifting
up their skinny fingers and hasgard faces
asking for leave to eat of the crumbs ttat
fall from the well-supplied tables of the North.
Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the
streets Of Askalon," that an American Con-
gress will permit sixty thousand men, women
and children 10 perish for want of bread with
in the limits of its jurisdiction. If there
was no constitutional objection to the meas
ure, he should think that "a man living
in the nineteenth century, in the serene light
Of Christian civilization, would aot stop TO
inquire into the propriety of feeding the poor.
He would not stol to higgle as to whether
the man famisLing at his door was his friend
or his enemy. He would not forget that di-
vine teaching of the Master" if thine enemy
hunger, feed him if he thirst. give him
drink" Let no man stand on tae forum Of
the people and utter the horrid blasphemy
that Congress was not to save FROM starvation
tie women and children Of, the South. The
crime of treason was not on their heads.
That was true utterance of the French ex-
lie, Victor Hugo, who, gathering children
around him on the island of Guernsey, said,
"Little children at least are sacred, for God
wills it so.'' ses
Mr.. Randall, in rising TO advocate the joint
resolution, paid homage to the speech OF Mr.
Bingham. 1t was not his purpose 10 consider
the measure in any political or party sense,
but from higher and purer mnygtiye.y .Allu-
ding to an intimation made by-Mr Butler,
that members believing in the principle of
State rights could not support this measure,
be- said that, for himself, he spurned that ap-
Iell f.om him, and that a, for those around
linn, he might say TO the gentleman from
Massachusetts,, CT tM Brute.
Mr.. Covode approved of Mr.. Batler.s SUBJ
siitute, and mentioned as a reason for his po-
siton that out of q cavalry company raised in
lis district, ard known as The Covode COM
paDy, twenty-lour wei starved TO death at
Andersonville, and that out Of one hundred
and fifty six men Of the same regiment, WHO
we're captured when Meade fell back at Cen
treville, one hundred end fortv-two were
starved to Geath at Andc-sonville. Among
lhenumoer was his youngest SOD, who suffered
the torments Of tie damned Tor twenty months
at Andersonville; while his Oldest son fell at
tn, head of bis regiment with Sheridan near
Rich nond.
Mr.. Mungen supported the measure in q
brief but pointed speech. sd ,s.alf.
Mr.. Donnclly made another appeal to the
| House to pass the bill. FL j..
On motion of Mr. Woodbridge, the ccin-
ni,tec rose without disposing OF the BILL.

determined"
Tea-time, and William came with it. A
little figure in tasty, bright silk dress, smooth
curls; and oh such lovely blush and smile,
stood ready to welcome William as he came
in; and tea.time passed as the morning meal
had done. After tea there was no movement
as usual toward the hat-rack. William stood
up beside the table lingering and chatting,
until Lizzie arose. She led him to the light,
warm parlor, in their pretty glow OF tasteful
arrangement, and drew him down on the sofa
beside her. He felt as if he were court'ng
over again. as he watched her fingers, busy
witk some fancy needlework, and listened to
the cheerful voice he had loved 80 dearly TWO
years before.
"What are you making, Lizzie ?"

how much you admired the pair worked lot

on them. l used to put my feet on the tend-
ers, and dream of blue eyes and bright curis,
and wished time would move faster to the
day when could bring my bonny wife nome
to make music in my. house."
Lizzie's face saddened for a moment, as she
thought of the last two years, and how little
music she had made for his loving heart,
gradually weaving it from its allegiance, and
then she said -,
81 wonder if you love music as you did
then?" =
"Of course do. very often drop into
Mrs. Smiths for nothing else than to hear the
music" :,

Smith," said Lizzie, pouting.
"But you always say you are out OF prac-
tice when 1 ask you"
81 had the piano tuned this morning.
Now open it and we will see how it sounds"
William obcyed joyfully, and tossing aside
her sewing, Lizzie took the piano stool. She
had very sweet voice, not powerful, but
most musical, and was very fair performer
on The piano"
"Ballad, Lizzie" =
"oh, yes, know you dislike opera music
in parlor."
One song after another, with nocturne or
lively instrumental piece, occasionally, be-
tween them, filled up another hour pleasantly.
The little mantel clock struck eleven? !.

then, that the time has passed so pleasantly

The piano was closed, Lizzle's work put up
in the basket, and William was ready to 60
up stairs; but glancing back, he saw his little
wife near the fire place, her hands clasped,
and her head bent, and large tears falling
from her eyes. He was beside her in an In

"Oh, William, have been such bad wife,

aThe colored people of Charlotte have
formed an anA.enigration society to prevent,
as far as possible, the emigration OF colored
people from that State. They insist that North
Carolina colored citizens should remain at
home to develop the resources OF their own
State"
This is commendable. That the colored
people who have been induced 10 leave their
good old homes and 60 among strangers IN
the far distant West, are becoming dissaiisll
ed and returning in squads, lsa sufhcient
foundation for societies OF this kind, ara we
should be highly gratifed to hear of similar
organizations in Augusta and other towns in
Georgia, where the colored people are better
informed than those from the rual districts,

fond of change that it is to their interest
to remain where they are.-Chronicle d SEN

A SAD CASE OF DEsT1TUT1oN.-In our
rambles along River street yesterday, VIC were
informed of family of white persons, per-
fectly destitute, who were living in an open
lot, without cover or shelter. On proceeding
to the spot on River street, just west of Fahm
street, we found an old woman ard three
girls, ranging from sixteen to twenty years
of age, standing around fire, and covered
with scarce garments enough to satisfy the
requirements of modesty, or to project their
shivering forms from the piercing winds. One
