from dawn till dark, and yet I 'scarce
keep soul and body together;" and she
drew her thin,shawl more closely over
her shivering shoulders.
Jler eye fell upon the great house
opposite. There was comfort there, and
luxury, too ; for the rich satin curtains
were looped gracefully away from the
large windows': a black 'Servant opens
the hall door ; see, there are statues, and
vases, and pictures there : now, two
young girls trip lightly out upon the
paverne.nt, with their lustrous silks, and
nodding plumes, and jewelled bracelets
glistening, and quiveiing, andsparklirg
in the bright sunlight. Now poising
their silver-netted purses upon their
daintily gloved angers, they leap lightly
into the carriage_ in waiting. and are
phirled rapidly away.
That little seamstress is as fair as they ;
her eyes are as soft and blue ; her.limbs
Are as tithe and graceful; her rich, brown
hair folds as gottly away over as fair a
brow ; her heart leaps. like theirs, to all.
that is bright and joyous; it craves love,
end sympathy, and companionship as
„much, and yet she must stuch—atitch—
end droop under summer's heat, and
shiver under winter's cold, and walk the
.e4rth with the si,teleton starvation ever
at her side, that costly pictures, and
velvet carpets. ,and massive chandeliers,

vessels, may fill the house

cording to Jefferson, "is fraught with
,more misery than ages of that-which our

The President against the Teeple. -
The Washington, correspondent of the
Baltirpore Sup► says of the ; Nebraska
bill:—
'•There is no dbubt that the Senate
will sustain the bill.' The House would
also :pass the bill could the question'be
taken at once, but 'the agitation.• of`.. the
question at' the North will not improve
its prospects. yhe Southern' members
'wilt of course support the bill, nod the
nower of the Administration ought to be
good, under: any circumstances, for fifty
Northern Democratic votesi-th Ll 4 form
ing a majority. Adhesion, - to the 'was-
Ore is made-a "test of democratic °raid
, dii - xy," rid& 'fete members «•ish, thus
to,be thrown
, outside of the party."
Here is the honest
this
that the
people are against this infamous project,
and thrit the only chance
,fo - r the bitj,to
pass is in hurrying it through befOre the
RepresernatOires can be reached. by ;an
aroused public sentiment. Thet Power
of the Administration, which this .cor
respondent says ought to be goof for
fifty Northern
. Democrrtic votes, can lie
immediately applied.to corrupt the peo
ple's representatiies; but it Italres'time.
lor the people .to - Muse , and apply their
power upon their servants in Congress
who are contemplating treachery 'to
freedom. Hi.nce it ts that DoUglas is so
anxious topnsh 'his hitt through - in hot
haste, before the 'people ht;ve tithe to
speak." .
When will the people rouse them
selves to correct this monstrous central
ized 'power of the', general government!
There is norsingle Congressional dis
trictlin any Northern•Stale;'which is'not
decidedly opposed , to tho Nebraska bill;
yet this ,cerrespontient . Pl : 4 .Southern pa
