DY CAROLINE A. ROULB. ‘‘You were not hero yesterday,” said the gentle teacher of a little village school, as she placed her liand very kindly on the curly head ■' of one of her pupils. It was recess time, but ' the little girl addressed had not gone out to frolic away the ten initiates, nor even. left her scat, but sat absorbed in what seemed a fruit less attempt to make herself mistress of a sum in long division. Her face and neck crimsoned at the remark of her teacher, but looking up. she seemed some v what re-assured by the kind glance that mot jj her, and answered, “No, ma'am, 1 was not; I but sister Nellie was.” \ “I remember there was a little girl who call ed herself Nellie Gay, came in yesterday, but I did hot know that she was your sister.

She observed in both the same close attention to tfecir studies, and as Mary hod tarried within during play time, so did Kellie ; and upon speaking to her as shehod to her sister, she received, too, the same answer, «*I might tear my dress.” Tho reply caused Miss M. to notice the garb of the sister. Bhc saw. at once, it was off the same piece as Mary’s, and upon scrutinizing it very closely, she became certain it waSthe same dress. It did not lit quite so prettily on Nel lie. and was too long for her, too, ana she was evidently ill at case whenever she noticed tho teacher looked at tho bright-pink flowers that were set so thickly on tho-fohite gown. The discovery was one which could not but interest a heart so truly bcnevolent as was that which pulsated in the bosom of the teacher of that little village school. She ascertained the residence of their mother, and though sorely shortened by a narrow purse, tho same night, having found at the only store in the place a few yards of. the same material, purchased a, 4rcss for little Nellie, and sent it to her in such a way tliat the donor could not easily bo detec ted.- •Very bright and happy looked Mary Gay on Friday morning, as she entered the school room at an early hour. She waited Only to place her books in neat order on her desk, ere she ap proached Miss M., and whispered in a voice that laughed in spite of all her efforts to make it low and deferential—“ After this week Nellie is coming to school every day, and I am so glad.” “That is very good news,” replied the teach- , er, kindly. “Nellie is fond of her books, I see, and t am happy to know that she can have an opportunity to study her books every day.” Then, she continued, a little good natured mis chief encircling her eyes and dimpling her sweet lips.—“ But can mother spare you I” “Oh yes, ma’am, she can now. Something happened that she did not expect, and sho is so glad to have us come as we are lo do so.” She hesitated ft moment, but her young heart was filled lo the brim with joy, and when a chid is happy, it is os natural to tell the cause, as it is for a bird to warble when the sun shines.— So, out of-the fullness of the heart she spoke, and told her teacher this little story. She and her sister were the only children of a Very poor widow, whose liealth was so delicate that it was almost impossible to support her self and little daughters. Sho was obliged to keep 1 them oat of school all winter, because they had no clothes to wear, but sho told them that, if they could cam enough by doing odd chores for the neighbors to buy each of them a dress, they might go in the spring. Very earnestly had the Tittle girls improved their stray chances, and very carefully hoarded the copper coins which usually repaid them. They had each enough to buy a calico dress, when Nellie was taken sick, and os the mother bad no money beforehand,her own little treasure had to bo ex pended for the purchase of medicine. “Oh. I did fed so bad when school opened and Nellie could 1 not go, because sho had -no dress. I told mother I would not go cither, but she said I bad better, for I could teach her some,' ap'd that would,be better than no school ing. I; stood it Xor a'fortnight, but .Nellie’s little face-seemed all the time looking at moon the way to school, and I couldn’t be happy a bit; sol finally thought of a wav 1 by which we could both go, and I told mother I would come one day, and the next I would lend Nel lie my dress, and sho might come, and that is the way wo have done tins week. But lost night, don’t you think somebody sent sister a dress just like mine, and now she con come too. Oh, if I only knew who it was, I would get down on niv knees and thank them, and so would Nellie. But wo don’t know, and so wc'vc done all we could for them—we’ve pray ed for them, and oh, Miss M , we are so glad. Ain’t you too ?” “Indeed I am,” was the emphatic answer.—, And when, on the following Monday, little Nel lie, in the new pink dress, entered the school room, her face radical as a rose in sunshinc.and approaching tho teacher’s tabic, exclaimed in tones as musical as those of a freed fountain. “I am coming to school every day, and oh, I am so glad!” MissM frit as she had nev er done before, that it is indeed more blessed to give than to.rcccivc, and no millionaire, when no saw hfs name in tho public prints lauded for his thousand .dollar chanties, was ever so hap py as was tho poor school teacher who wore her gloves half a summer longer than sho ought to, and thereby saved enough to buy that litUu fatherless girl a calico dress. The Story of Cinderella. Tho origin oi this nursery tale is thus given by a French journalist:—“Wctclltho tale as told to us, but it is probably of much greater antiquity. About the year 1730, an actor of equal latent and wealth, named Thovenard, in passing through tho streets of Paris, observed upon a cobbler's stall tho shoe of a female, which struck him by tho remarkable smallness of its size. After admiring it for some time he returned to his house.; but his thoughts re verted to tliu shoo with such intensity, that ho appeared at the stall the next day ; but tho cobbler could give no other duo to tho owner, than that it had bocn left in his absence, for tho purpose of being repaired. Day after day did Thevenard return to his post to watch the ro- Intcgntion of tho slipper, which proceeded slow, ly ; nor did (ho proprietor appear to claim it. Although ho had completed tho sixtieth year of his age, so extravagant became his passion for the unknown fair one, that he became (were it possible for a Frenchman of (hat day to bo so) melancholy and miserable. Ilia pain was, how ever, some, appeased by tho avatar of tho little .foot itself, appertaining to a pretty and youth ful girl in the very humblest class of life. All distinctions were levelled at once by tovo; tho actor sought flic parents of the female, procur ed thrir consent to tho match, and actually made her his wife. The Teacher should he a Student.

Jennings is reputed to have been anxious for the reputation of ft lady-killer, and from the curious vanity of wishing to bo thought a debauchee, is said to have been in the habit of boasting of seductions ho had accomplished. What truth there may bo in this imputation we dont know. It seems that ho was acquainted with a Miss Eckert, to whom Ormsbeo has been for some time paying hla attention, and whom, about four weeks ogo, ho (Ormsbee) married. Ip conversation with some of his youthful associates. Jennings boasted that ho had on ono occasion got Miss Eckert, now Mrs. Ormsbeo, to take a buggy ride with him, and that ho had, at some hotel m the country, effected her seduc tion ; staid all night and returned to the city next day. These boasts lost nothing by their passage from ono person to another until they reached the cars of, Mr. Ormsbeo, who is of a highly sensitive organization and was stung to madness by them. . very sonl of honor and of feeling, ; ho was shocked at the imputations on the honor of his wife, and at once sought an in terview with Mr. Jennings. The latter was standing by the stove in the lobby of the Na tional Theatre, at 10 o'clock on Saturday night, when Ormsbee tapped him on the-shoulder and asked him to step to the door. He did so: and as they got outside the house, Ormsbee asked him if ho had boasted in public that iio had so dneed Miss Eckert. He smilingly replied that he had, and Ormsbeo drawing a pistol, placed it to Jennings free and fired. The ball shat tered Jennings nose, tore‘his face badly, and lodged in the head. Deputy Marshall Gray was standing; within a few feet of the parties when the affair Occur red, and at once-arrested Ormsbeo, who made no resistance, and only said: "1 don't care if I am hung for it ; ho said he seduced my wife.” The wounded man was carried across the street to the Woodruff House, and tbo medical aid of Drs, Wood and Foster procured. It was found that the hall, which had been oflargc size, bad entered the left side of tho upper lip, tear ing and fracturing extensively tho bones of tho noso and face.' 'The boll was not found, as any attempt to probe tho wound was followed by strangling with blood, and the occurrence of spasms.

S. Senate on the Sth Inst. Mr. STUART presented a preamble and.rcs olutions passed by the Legislature of the State of Michigan, instructing the senators and re questing the representatives from that State in Congress to vote for, and use their best exer tions to procure the passage of an act of Con gress to prohibit the introduction or existence of slavery in the Terri toriesof the United States, and. especially in Kansas and Nebraska; and also instructing them to vote for the rcpcafibf the. fugitive-slave law, as containing ■ provis ions of doubtful constitutionality, and which are repugnant to tho moral sense of the people of tho free States. The resolutions have been read, Mr. CASS said: Mr) President, it is now some years since tho Legislature of Michigan instructed the delegation of that State in Con gross to vote for the measure historically known as tho wilmot proviso—tho interdiction of sla- j very iirtho Territories of tho United States. I j took tho earliest opportunity in ray power, in l some remarks I made hero in connection with 1 the general subject of Congressional jurisdiction over those political communities, to aftnoancp tho course I intended to pursue. As my cort ,victions of constutional duty prohibited mo from obeying tho instructions, I avowed the de termination to resign my scat in this body I whenever I should bo called upon by its pro- I cccdings to take iny part in the decision of tho I question. \ While professing my adherence to the gen eral doctrine, I stud:. ‘I, a believer in tho right of instruction, when fairly exercised and under proper circumstances. There are limitations upon this exercise, but I need not seek to as certain their extent or application, fbr they do not concern ray present position. I acknowl edge the obligation of the instructions I have received,’ &c. Any further action, however, onmy part, became unocessary by tho repeal of the resolutions—a measure which was adop ted with much Unanimity by tho Legislature, and approved by a vast majority of. the people of the Stale. And thus has the subject rested nndisturb cd till within a few days: tho delegation of Michigan in Congress have been left to follow tho dictates of their conscience and judgment in relation to this whole matter. Quito recent ly, however, a change has taken place. The democratic party in the State baa lost its as cendency .and anewparty, with different views, and I may add, in many with discor dant ones, having obtained possession of the legislative power, tho resolutions which have just been read are tho result of its action, and call upon me, as well as upon the other mem bers of the delegation.,to veto for depriving A mcrican citizens in the Territories of tho pow er to regulate one of the most important of their domestic concerns—that of tho relation between master and servant, and for the repeal of the existing fugitive slave act, passed to give cllcct to a solemn guarantee of tho constitution. As X peremptorily decline to do either, and Intend to retain my place, it is necessary, in my own vindication before tho people of tho State, whom I desire respectfully to • addros from the scat jyHsiXhw> occupy by _ their favor and kind ness, that I should now cto what' I was not re quired to do on the former occasion, to 'ascer tain tho limitations'upon tho right of instruc tion, or, to speak, perhaps with more perefsion, ‘the extent* of tlie duty of obedience, so far as concerns my present position. . And f have to say. sir, that tho circumstances in which tho ; power to pass theso resolutions originated con- ( stituto one of tho very eases which occurred to meat thditimo theso words of caution were , Spoken as restricting the obedience of tho rep- , rcscntativc. The practical question, briefly , stated, is this: Has a political party, whenev er it ascends to power, by whatever combina tions, the right to pass resolutions which its opponents in legislative trusts are bound to o bey, or, if prevented from obeying by their conscience or consistency, to resign their posi tion ? The consequence of such a rule of ac tion arc too obvious to need detailed examina tion, and too serious to bo incurred without pressing necessity. Into this body it would introduce changes, radically affecting its or ganization, and incompatible with tho objects of its institution os tho representative branch of the sovereignty of tho States. It would lose every characteristic of permanence, its members going out. year by year, os political fluctuations might transfer power from one par ty to another ; for at all times would U be easy to select questions for this process of removal, which no honest roan, of an opposite parly, could support, Sqmo of these are constitution al, and others scarcely 1 inferior to them in itn- J porlanco, involvingpointsof policy forming the * very landmarks of the debatable ground, where our struggles have always heretofore taken , place. That this power would be used, abused, ' indeed, for this purpose, no man will deny.— Tho excitements of tho post warn us as to what the future would bring with it; and that the disadvantage would bo the share of the de mocracy is certain, for it is well understood that in the creed of our opponents instructions carry with them neither tnoduty to obey nor tho obligation to resign. The two whig Sena tors who has occupied scatsln this body from Michigan, one of Uicm my immediate predeces sor, and tho other my colleague during a por tion of my lirst term of service, honorable and i distinguished citizens, both disavowed tho ob ligation on instructions, and both refused, at least in ‘one instance, to obey the expressed ' will of tho Legislature, conveyed to them by Its .resolutions. And I believe their views were in . Conformity with tho opinions of their party iu tho State. I am not called upon to discuss the general doctrine. All I seek is to explain why I ac knowledge tho obligations of the former in structions, and deny those of tho present.— j And when I deny tho power of tho ex- 1 isting majority of tho Legislature of Mich igan, composed as it is of political oppo nents, whoso efficient bond of union is antago nism to tho democracy, to instruct mo out of office, I feel that my object is accomplished.—j ; I presume there was not a member or the Gen eral Assembly whoso willis embodied in that document, who did not know that no, human . consideration would induce me to support the I measures which find such favor in their eyes., ' So far as respects myself, it was tho vacation of tho office that was hoped for. , Mr. President, strange doctrines are abroad, , and strange organizations aro employed to pro- ( mulgato and enforce them. Opr political history , contains no such chapter, in tho progress of our country, os that which is now opening. Tho grove questions of constitutionality and policy, which nave been so long.tho battle-cry of par. tics, are contemptuously rejected, and intoler ance, religious and political, finds zealous, and it may bo they wfil prove successful, advocates in this middle of tho nineteenth century, boast ing with much self-complacency of its intelli gence, and in this free country founded upon emigration, and grown prosperous and power ful by toleration. It is a system of proscrip-1 lion which would exclude tue first general who , fell at the head of an organized American army , —and nobly and gallantly did ho fall, whifo [ fighting for our inl&nt libcrtigs, under tho walls AT $2,00 PER ANNUM.

But Montgomery and Carroll went to their graves with the weight of no such in gratitude upon their hearts. Two great par ties, equally attached to the principles of our government, but differing upon many questions of administration, and alternately borne to power and driven from it, whether in place or out of it, watching each other with jealous scrutiny, present a wise and fortunate arrange ment for the preservation of freedom and for guarding against the abuse of authority. "Such nos been our condition, and well and wisely has its work been done. What new experi ment is needed 1 What more does this lately awakened 7<ca\ propose ? As a country, we arc in possession oi everything tho heart of man can desire—power, Intelligence, prosperity, happiness, abundance, freedom, equality, the religion of God and the respect of man—all tho elements, indeed, which give value to social life or security for the duration of political bless ings. We want no new parties, no new plat fonns.no new organizations, and the sooner these dangerous cuorts are abandoned, the tat ter it will be for us and those who are to follow us in this heritage of freedom. During the process of constructing a party upon this narrow basis of exclusion, humbly affecting to know nothing, while resolutely de termined to direct everything, and especially ol constructing one with principles of organiza tion not only secret in tnelr operation, but seek ing unity of action, not of individual convic tion and responsibility, but in tho surrender of tho will of each to the demands of those who gain the direction of, the associations—during this process, the public mind must be in a state of feverish excitement, unfriendly to calri deliberation; and majorities acquired by com binations arising out of this state of things do not act under the “fair and proper circumstan ces” which I declared in 1850 to be indispensa ble to the obligatory force of legislative instruc tions. I am firmly persuaded that the adoption of ’ cither of the measures, much more of both, dc- ' roanded by the Legislature of Michigan, would ' bo the signal for the breaking up of this gov. eminent, and the dissolution of this confcdcra- , cy. I know there arc many honest men who scout at every idea of danger, and many others who, while admitting it arc yet prepared to meet it, let it bring what disasters it may— prepared to sacrifice this magnificent structure of freedom to one overpowering impulse, which leads captive alike the heart and the under standing 1 This is no time to surrender the outworks of the citadel, to abandon the securi ties which wisdom and patriotism have provi ded, and to throw away all the checks we pos sess against rag'll and dangerous innovations.— For myself, sir, it Providence permit, 1 shall re main in the position I occupy during the resi due of ray term of service, unless, indeed, the democracy of Michigan should require mo to do what my convictions of duty would prohibit me from doing: in which event I should ro tire, Without hesitation, to private life, where indeed 1 am snfilcicntly.warned, by the years that have passed over mo, I must■ soon retire, come what may.

What I fear above all is, that in the provi dence of God wo may bo struck with that ju dicial blindness with which nations are punish ed for national oficoccs, and thus add another to the melancholy list of people who bad not wisdom enough to appreciate the value of free institutions, nor virtue and firmness to main tain them. The Princess and the Tutor. An emperor's daughter, who was delighted with the profound learning, the lively wit, and the strict adherence to the precepts, of morali ty and religion, which characterized her tutor, ono day inadvertantly made this remark to him: ‘ „• •What & pity that so tine ft soul as yours is not in ft more agreeable body !' He inado in reply, the following inquiry : 'ln what sort of vessels, madam, is your father’s wine preserved ?’ ‘ln earthen vessels,’ was the answer. ‘Can that bo possible T replied he. ‘Why, every citizen preserves his wine in earthen ves sels ; I should have thought that gold or silver ones would have been more suitable to the dig nity of on emperor.’ ‘Vou arc right J exclaimed the princess, ‘and henceforth this mark of respect shall not be o mitted.* In a few days, however, sho again accosted her tutor on this subject, saying: ‘ln the gaudy vessels you recommended, my father’s wino was spoiled ; the spirit evaporat ed : while that wine which was placed in earth en ones improved in quality.’ ‘Very possible,’ rejoined the philosopher.— ‘So also with virtue and knowledge : the more the exterior of that m winch they arc contained, the more luxuricatly they will uour ourish, and the more forcibly ?xcUo our admi ration.’ A Boj>d Pjieacueu.—When Samuel Davies was President of the Pnneoton College, ho vis ited England for the purpose of obtaining do nations for* the institution.

A man who gels into the habit of inquiring about expedience and occasions, spepds his life without doing anything to the purpose.
