TlilaSaturduy 'iilit is one of storm, of rudo, fitful gusU of dancing leaves sharp burricune wliibthng, and we are very weary. All the weeK we have worked more industriously than ever before, fur there is so much to do ! Aol till lone afusr twelve ouch night have we sought our renting place to gather strength ior tho morrow. And not even one little bit do we feel like writing to-night, for wo are sad and weary. Weary Irom over work. Sad from what we have seen. This afternoon we saw too jiolioo men with a drunken woman in a hand cart. One Was drawing, the other pushing. Crowds followed, to gloat their eyes over mixery. "Who have you f" "One of them I" "What Mhe matter 1" "Only drunk." "Going to tho station V "No we are taking her borne." "Where was she f" "Don't ask o many questions move on out of the way 1" "Thank you pleaso tako our enrd !" "Ah 1 All right! Come with as and I'll tell you all about her. She went down to Houston street and got on Lrvczo upset tilings, was upset out in tho alley drunk, and we are taking her borne." J Into by-street up stain to a room with shattered shutters a patch ol cariH't a bed a cheap wusli stand a stralcbod bureau an old trunk in a corner a little cupboard over the mantel wherein were a few bottles, some cold corned beef, a bottle of alo, two cigars, a greany pack of curds, and so in few little articles of bead dre. The occupants of the other rooms stared at us as tho insensible woman was carried to the third story to the room abovo spoken of, which an old dame said was hers. Two women disrobed her, while we looked about tbe premises. They laid tier on the coarso bed, and called ourattontiun to great bruises ovor the ribs over the stomach a long, dark braise across the back, where some one must bave struck her a fearful blow. And a dark, greenish black spot, half the size ol our band, just under the left breast, told us she had been kicked there by some ono terribly in anger. Very soon one of tbe pol icemen re turnod with a physician, and then they bolh went away to see who had done all this. The aged, white haired phy slciun with care examined ber shook his head. "Badly injured, Doctor!" "Yes internally. She cannot live long. Somebody has nearly killed her." "Under the influence of liquor!" "Yes she bus been drinking hcav ily." S And the poor girl, or rather a woman of about twenty -one or two years, lay there breathing heavily. ller dark hair hang disheveled from a clear-cut brow. Her eyes were closed her lips set as if in pain hor heaving, bruised bosom givingevidence of injuries internal, the did not look like a bad or a vicious girl. Onlu un fortunate! ller name was Clara so tbe land lady said. She paid tkree dollars a week for the use of the room. She camo and she went, alone or with conmnnv. and tin nn.

BS women in ha r llra ..r I--.!-.. , t finery joked with coming or depailing guests, or swore at each other. To hear such words, such slang, such thieves' jargon, such vulgar, profune, indecent, words from woman's lips made us sad. It made ns look fnr a moment on all women as bad., yet irir know they aro not. Only when a woman falls, she falls lower, and soon nccomes more diegiiMing in ber mis-1 cry and her sin than man, for she gives hersell wholly to her abandon. Bo canse she has loved has lost society scourges her with hot words and lab ofdevilism, jusl as society takes fieo dish delight in torturing the weak 1 And she, poor drunken, murdered Clura, is dying, (iod pity htr more than man does. We do not know wbn she was, where from, what her history. ajuv sue was somcooay. Mio was woman. She had a his'tory as we all have. She would be beautiful when dressed, but in all her want robe was nothing beautiful. There was a little hat with a red feather therein. A light white cloak or jacket. Some ribbons stitched on an old dress, and Dnl 't fT lift all there Was of it ' iui, n-rrioie- leu lo her. O! merciful power 1 O!

Once she was good and pure. Her infant hands rested on tho fuco of a father tho bosom of a mother, ller little smile gave joy. Her littlo lips kisxed so sweetly, as do the little lips of thousands whose fathers and moth ers will read this little chapter. Once she nestled in the arms, ty tbe side, upon, and in the heart of somebody. Little did somebody know she was to die thus, or they bud rather she had died in her innocent iuluncy. Perhaps she was to blame for all this sorrow to some extent. But not all. Perhaps her mother, her father, never tried to leach ber, and let hor full. Tben they are guilty of her murder. Tcrhaps her father was cross, cold, ngly, dissipated, and neg lectful of his duty as a man, as a pa rent.

Poor bruised, heart-wrecked, murdered one. Some of yon may say, "Good enough for her!" For$hame! Are hearts thus cruel born of God or devils! Look opon your loved ones and tell us if you would curse tbotn, should they fill by ihe way when too weak to walk, or untaught how ! And see if you cannot save your own, and help save others.

Tho Government of the Territories A hill has been introduced in Con trrens to give to tho District of Colum bia a territorial government. Another lias ben oliered to suppress "bigamy concubinage and polygamy" in U lull through tho exorcise of tho military power of tho rederul government This may warrant a brief rotroxpect to the original practice and principles ol the government of the Lulled Mutes in regard lo tho territories. Our itudical Congressmen may like to learn something ol those principles. if it be only to violate them tho more intolligeiillt'. Pemoernts and Con aervntivna whri retrrnt. Ihn hnvnn and nurmpw ju.i;uioui aiuvury lu .ioc .territories, win perhaps, agree witn us, that the adoption of a new subject lor like agitation, is not warranted by sound judgment: and we think and will show that it is not warranted by the trne principles of our government. Our territorial system is older than the Constitution of the L' tilled Mntes Its origin is in the ordinance of 174, (commonly designated ns tne ordin ance of 17S7), passed by the old Con- gross of tho Confederation, a body of very plenary power, as a aort of awcrr.bluge of ambassadors from the several Stutes, whose assont to the acts of their agents validated what ever they did. There was then no Federal Constitution established by the People. The ordinance of 1784 accorded to tho settlers full power of soil govern ment. Tho free male inhabitants, as soon as thry amountod to five thou sand, were empowered to elect a general assembly. I ill this was organazed, the Governor and Judges were authorized to administer such laws of the old Stales as might be appropriate; but this rode of laws was to bo submitted lo Congress. Rut as soon, however, aa the Legislature met, it was competent "to alter the laws as they see tit, and pass laws not repug nant to this ordinance," without any reference to Congress. The ordinance of 1794 enumerated and secured" lo the people of the Ter ritories tho common law and lis rem edies, and all the great rights which weretheiritihcr'lance from an hniMish ancestry. In I . H. this was re ennctod, with tho addition of a claueo oxel tiding slavery, but it also contained a provis ion tor a fugitive Mavo law, winch had its origin in this celebrated ordin ance. It has olien been erroneously stated that the cession from Virginia excluded slavery from the vast region that she ceded; now know n a Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. This emir has even crt-pi lino juiige C. .. I .. 1 I - I. LM r ,., . , ..,.,, . nago Z'.W). It is true that Sir. Jcffer- tn. I,r0v,4e fnT H' "I'ol.l.on of slavery in Ihe Territory, but his plan was defeated, bis own colleagues from Virginia, in tho Continental Congress, voting against his proposal. We now come to the first precedent for Territorial government under the Constitution of the United Slates By cessiin from iorth Carolina, in 1780, it wae stipulated that the poople ll,e tuea lerruory (aucrwurus 1,e Stat"' of Tennessee), should hovo the sums' government as that estub- '"hrl rllwest Territory: -rmvulld always that no regulation made oi to bo made by Congress shall ,crd t' emnncinnla alavea" Tlma the pC"ile of this Territory were scrccnci, from any interference "from Congrc," and tho eighth section of tbo dee! of cession provided that the Jaws of North Carolina should con tinue h foroo "till altered by tbe Legish tive authority of the said Ter ritory.'' Ail this was adopted and rotifiel ty Congress in its "act for the government of tho Southwest Terri tory." Almost identical were the term of the cesion from Mississippi in 1 ;'., and Georgia in 1SU8.

It is not onr purpose, in this place or space, to write a thesis on tho sub jects indicated in our caption, We merely intend, in view of the vust importance of these topics, nnd tho growing agitation concerning thorn, to remind the passing reader of a few substantial facts which many may have forgotten initio whirl und bustle of ordinary life. 'I h "allliiitics" of the present day are growing so tremendously strong between the wives of other poople and the gallant, high-toned gentlemen who uro too delicate and preonius an organization to incur the plebean sup- Kirt ol wives or their own ; and sud i.Jq jJl.tuMVcl u bbiiig. throal cutting und poieoniiigare consequently bncoui iug ho rifo, that it is worth while for us to refresh our recollections of Hi vine laws a littlo, on these points. As population incruuses over tho Eurth, and men aro daily striving, more, and more, to shako off oppres sive system and establish lruo govern ments, the need of sound, stable, and wholesome regulations adupted to the pbysicul nnd nientul constitution ol the human being, is t he moro presg ingly fell. Genuinodomocrucy, in or der lo subsist, must nocessurily bo the most orderly of all plans of associa tion, since every individual is directly interested in tho public tranquility The Slate is w hat the voter makes it, and, therefore, the voter is the Stale If the principle to sheer force and the viulation of all right predominate in common life and ul the ballot-box, it will predominate in the government springing thence. In fine, mob-law cryslulizet almont instantly into des potism, und social disorder is tbo hot bed of mob-law. Now, among the most essential pledges and safeguards of tho public peace is a happy home, and for that there is no such guarantee as honora ble wedlock. Cut away home from a man, and you, at once, make him reck- j less, w hile exposing bim, at the same time, to temptations of all kinds. The races wbo aro nomadic and without permanent abiding places are chiefly the children of fraud, rapine, and vio lence. It is precisely among them, too, that the irregular intercourse of the sexes obtains, as recognized, or, at least, venial affair. In the curliest ages as tribok began to settle down in to one place of residence, so did they begin to organize matrimony tho wedding of one man to one woman. In this, too, they began to obey the distinct law of God, at illustrated by the example ho made conspicuous to all mabkind, and, afterward, when men were counted in millions, by ex press and solemn comniund. For Adam, tho Creator provided one woman, whu was bone of bis bono and flesh of bis flush, and the bliss of hden, until disobedience came, it still the yearning and the dreaming of our fullco race. After that disobedience and thnt fall from Eden came, with other mistakes and iniquities, the fol ly of polygamy. The laws of none of the most an cient nations sanction It.even at a time when tho rapid replenishment of the Earth with inhabitants would have af forded the most spacious pica. Fur away back iu the Hindoo records, which, like the Chinese, boast Ibe re motest antiquity, w e find no approval of polygamy. Menu, the great Indian lawgiver, writes that "a man aod bis wife consist of but one reraon ; a per fect man consist of his wife, himself, and Ins son. Ihe same great old time authority declared the first duty of the married to be the oath and ob servance of mutual fidelity and ev cry Hindoo god, hero and poet bad nis own proper who. Among the Arubs.who were a noma die people, but bad much of tho Hin doo mythology, polygamy was not countenanced in tbe days of Job. Is ravl, it it true, departed in this, at in many other things, from the precepts of their greal Friend and Heavenly Father, but they rued it in bitterness down to the moment when their fullie brought about the final overthrow of Jerusalem and the destruction of the l emplo. Tbo jealousies, discords aud miseri.-s which the Scriptures them selves reveal, as Laving prevailed in the household of Abraham and other of I lie most venerated patriarchs, are proof enough ot tbe evils ol tbo unau thorized systrm. Il hut been well said that ''he who cherihhes fare for moro than one wo man, cannot possibly know tho pure, intense and transporting pleasure which love, centering on ono female, imparts." To bim the enchantments of domestic life, and tho absorbing at tachment to the innocent offprlng of ono pure, Impassioned lovn, nro utter ly unknown, and hepnssesto the grave, in the yearning, unsatisfied condition of one who has flitted vainly from point to point in pursuit of that hap piness w hit h he had himsolf dissipated forever by subdividing it. So hrautilbl ia this imago of matri monial lore for one woman in one home, that il is used in Holy Writ as Ihe peculiar emblem of the iinion aud the love of Christ and His Church ! ChrMiatis are said to be betrothed in Christ, and tho blensed period when they shall possess the Earth, is termed the marriage of Ihe Lamb.

Good counel from a wife and mother: "I try lo make myself and all around me agreeable.

I am an old woman, but you can still do as yon like ; a word from you sl tbe right lime w ill not fuil of its effect ; what need bare you to play the suffering virtue! The tear of a loving girl, aays an old book, is like A dew-drop on a rose ; but that on tbo cheek ol a wife ia a drop of poison to her husband. Try lo appear cheerful and contented, and your husband will be 3; and when you make him hap. py, you will become so, not In appear ance, but in reality. The skill required is not so great. Nothing flatters a man so much at tho happiness of his wife; hois alwsyt proud of himself as the source of it. As soon at yon are cheerful you will be lively and alert, and every moment K ill afford an opportunity to let fall an agreeable w-ord.
