''The adversaries of non-intervention say
the South has right to demand Congress
Sional enactments for the security of slave
property in the Territories, and that it is
iuglorious to abstain from the enforcement
OF the right. So the man in the fable had
IL right to shear the wolf, but the exercise

In the event Seward shall introduce y
bill for the repeal of the slave code in New
Mexico, tile Representatives of the Sonth
will have no alternative but to admit the
supremacy of Congress oveu the Terrific
rieS, or else to make stand upon the
principle of non-intervention. If they
adopt the first proposition they will give
the Black Republican party an issue
which will insure its success in 1860, for
then the issue will be purely and simply
slavery extension or slavery restriction.-
And Black Republican ascendancy in
the federal administration will involve a
return to the policy of the Wilmot Pro-
viso. If, on the contrary, the Represeu-
tntives of the South determine to adhere
to the principle of non-interventiou, they
will present an issue upon which they
will be sustained by the American people,
and will so be enabled to consolidate
their conquest in New Mexico. Which

RAISING BULLS TO FIGHT LoCoNoTIyEs.-
The other day, says the Pittsburgh Chroni-
Gle, pluekY little bull, who lives on the line
of the Cleveland & Pittsburgh Railroad,
about six miles from Wheeling, was grazing
about near the track and picking the fresh
grass blades out from between the cross-ties,
when he heard locomotive coming down
upon him. The locomotive whistled for the
bull to clear the track, which the bull made
an effort to do, but being closely crowded by
the iron horse, and not being disposed to show
the white feather, even to superior and


fiery opponent, his young bull-ship turned
about, paved the earth, and bowed his head,
with the determination to give his pursuer
the best he had in the shop. The engineer
seeing this, put on steam enough to knock
the bull sky high. The two came together
with terrible crash. His bulI-ship was
knocked into an "infnite number Of small
pieces" the engine was thrown off the track,
and like the cars behind it, was plastered
and bedaubed with bloody meat and CHASTITY
gore. The owner Of this ill-fated but game
bovine, some year or so ago, lost a steer in
similar manner, for which the Railroad Co.
refused to pay. Since that time he has been
engaged in the cultivation of game bulls to
fight the Cleveland and Pittsburgh engines.
The animal whose fate we have just ehroni-
eled was left out of his pasture by his owner,
with the expectation and the hope that he
would encounter the locomotive. We heard
the owner say, yesterday, that he had still
another bull, much larger and stronger, and
gamer, which he intended to let out in few
days to fight the engine.

Bur osE PAIR OF STOCKINGS TO MEND TO- NIGHT
An old wife sat by her bright fireside,


swaying tbcuehtfully to and fro,
In an ancient chair whose cranky crau


Told tale Of long ago;


When down by her side the kitchen floor
Stood basket of worstsd balls-a score
: The gooG .ozed or sbe latest news


Till the iis..t of his pipe went out;
And UNDECIDED, the kitten with cunning paws
Rolled and tangled the balls about,
Yet still sat the wife in the ancient chair,
Swaying to and fro in the 6re-Tight glare.
Butanon misty tear drop came
: IN her eye of faded blue,
Then trickled down in a furrow deep


Like single drop of dew;
SO deep was the channel-so silent the stream
The Cood man saw naught but the dimmd eye


beam.


Tet marvelled he more that the cheerful light


OF her eye had weary grown,
And maryelled he more at the tangled balls


So he said in gentle tone:
have shared thy joys since our marriage


vor.
Then she spoke of the time when the basket


there


Wasflled to the very brim
And now there remained of the goodly pile,


But 2single pair-for him
Then wQsder not ut the dimmed eyelight:
There's but one pair OF stockings to mend to-


night.


can but think Of the busy feet,


whose wrappiugs were wont to lay
In the basket, awaiting the needles time,


Now wandered so far away;
low the spriehtly steps TO a mother dea,
tnheeded fell on the careless ear.
For each empty nook 10 the basket DID,


BY he hearth there's an empty seat;
And miss tie shadows from off the wall,


And the patter of many feet;
fis for this that tear gathered over my sight ::
At the one pair of stockings to mend tonight.
Twas said that far through the forest wild
And over the mountains bold.
Was n land whose rivers and darkling caves
Were gemmed with the fairest gold;
Then my first born burned from the oaken door,
And knew the shadows were only four.
Another went forth the foaming wave,
Anfhaffninished the basket store
But his feet grew cold-so weary and cold
They never be warm any more
And this nook in its emptiness seemeth to me
To give forth voice but the moan of the sea-
Two others have gone towards the setting sun
And made them home in its light,
And fairy fingers have taken their share
To mend by the ireside bright;
Some other baskets their garments FIJI
But mine oh mine is emptier still
Another,-the dearest-the fairest-the best
Was taken by angels away,
And clad in garment that waxeth not old,
In land of continual day.
oh wonder no more at the dimmed eyelight
While mend one pair of stockings to might.

A PRoFASE CRow.-Seyeral years

There is an angel in the house. No mat
ter how fallen the inmates, how depressed
the circumstances, there is an angel there to
pity or to cheer. 1t may he in the presence
Of little child, or il may be enclosed in a
STOPPING and wrinkled body. treading the
downward path to the grave. Or, perhaps,
in cheerful spirit, looking upon the ills of
life ~ so many steps toward heaven, If only
! bravely overcome, and mounted with..sinless
feet. We knew such angel once, and it was
u drunkards child. On every side, wherever
she moved, she only saw misery and degra-
ton, and yet she did not fall. Her father
brutal, and her mother discouraged, and her
| home thoroughly uncomfortable. But she
struggled along with angel endurance, bear
ing with an almost sanity patience the in
| firmities of him who gave her existence, and
| then hourly embittered it.


Night after night, at the hours of ten,
twelve, and one, barefoot, ragged, shawlless
and bonnetless, has she been to the den Of the
drunkard, and gone staggering home, with her
arm around her father. Many time has her
| flesh been blue with the mark Of bis hand,
when she has stepped in between her helpless
mother and violence. Many time has she
, sat upon the cold curbstone, with his head in
her lap; many a time known how bitter il
was to cry for hunger, when the money which
should have bought bread was spent in gin.
And the patience that the angel wrought with
make her face shine; so that, though never
| acknowledged in the courts Of this world, in
the kingdom of heaven she was waited for by
assembled hosts Of spirits, and the crown Of
martyrdom lay ready waiting for her young
| brow. And she was martyr. Her gentle
split went up from couch OF anguish-an


guish brought on by i'll usage and neglect
And never till then, did the father recognize
the angel in the child never till then did his
manhood arise from the dust of its dishonor.
From hcr humble grave, he went away to
steep his resolves in bitter tears and he will
| tell you to-day how the memory her much
enduring life keeps him from the bowl how
he gees sometimes, aud stands where her pa
| tient hands have led him, while her cheek
crmsoned at the sncers of those who scof at
the drunkard's child. Search for the angels
in your households, aud cherish them while
they are among you. 1t may bethat all un-
consciously you frown upon them, when
smile would lead you to a knowledge Of their
| exceeding worth. They may be among the
least cared for, most despised but when they
are gone with their silent Influence, then will
y, mcurn for them, as Tor jewel of great

There is no sight so truly Piliable as
that afforded by rising family of children
ander the guardianship Of an ignorant
mother. We would be understood IN the
use Of ;he term ignorant, as wishing to
convey the picture of a mother whose
maiden days we're devoted 10 The acquire
menl Of fashionable accomplishments TO
.ae exclusion Of solid mental culture and
acuniremenis. The woman who reigns
Ithe queen OF the. bal-roomis is seldom found
capable Of being the governor OF her own
children /; and The lime spent s0lree and
roui will be bitterly regretted when age
brings experience and consequent remorse
| for the evil she has inflicted and her inca
pacity TO discharge properly the interest
ling and important duties of her station,
when ii was her natural duty TO be al once
. an instructor and example. The maiden
who casts aside her book for the
lcotillon will never win the love and
esteem Of sensible man and should she
select partner for her life among her
partners in the dance, she will find, when
it is too late, iha, her choice has been as
unfortunate as the place where she attrac'
ted his notice was injudicious. We look
with pain upon that young lady who en-,
ters upon her second era with fashionable
ideas of society. Her first era has been
devoted to the attainment Of certain rules
4 and systems which are scarcely parcona'

FREEDOM CT THE ELECTORAL CoLLEGEs.-
Story, in his commentaries on the Constitution,
has the following passage on the manner of
choosing the President:


There probably is no part of the plan of the
trainers Of the constitution which, practically
speaking, had so realized tae expectations of
It's friends as that which regards the choice of
President. They undoubtedly intended that
the Electors should be left free TO make the
choice according 10 their own Judgment of the
relative merits aud qualifications of the candi-
dates for this high office. and that they should
be under no pledge to any popular favorite, and
should be guided By no sectional influence
In both respects the event has disappointed all
these expectations. The electors are now al.
most universally pledged to support particu-
lar candidate, before they receive their own
appointment; and they do little more than re.
glster the previous DEGREES, made by public
and private meetings OF the citizens of their
own State"


The intent ofthe trainers Of the Constitution
was undoubtedly that of timid conservatism.
which feared to entrust the choice of President
10 The people. The result shows that the ge.
MUS OF nation works it's own way through the
forms of its political life, whatever they may
be. The American people will yet be seen vo-
ting direc. for President
