old pair OF shoes lying by the side of the

expense, said the student; suppose we
hide these shoes, and conceal ourselves in
the bushes to watch his perplexity when
he cannot find them

suppose you put a silver dollar in the toe OF
each shoe, and then we will hide

finished his work soon, and went to put
on his shoes. You can imagine his sur
prise when he stopped down to take out a
pebble, as he supposed, from the toe, and
found it t, be hard dollar, and then his
absolute perplexity and astonishment.
when he found another dollar in the other
shoe. His feelings overcame him; he fell
upon his knees, looked up to heaven, and
uttered aloud ferveut thanksgiving, in
which he thanked kind Providence for
sending some unknown hand to save from
perishing his sick and helpless wife, and
his children without bread Do you won

SIXTY OF THE HELPER ENDoRsERs-In the House

and resolution:


Whereas, the chattelizng of humanity and the
holding Of persons as property is contrary to natural
justice and the fundamental principles Of our polt

GUS hindrance to the progress of republican liberty

into the expediency of reporting bill giving free
dom to every human being, and the Introduction Of
slavery wherever Congress has the constitutional
power to leglslate on the subject" ..

Sixty black Republicans voted for it. and one hun
dred and nine national Democrats and Southern
Know-Nothings against it. But for the national
Democrats it would have passed A few black Repub-

"This tribunal closed its sittngs on the 23d inst,

labor performed by the Judges. Two hundred and

disposed of during the term which has just closed
