up like an unvoiced Idllaby in the

Bet Mrs. 'Raymond avoided the
subject when her intended son-irklaw
queitioned her.
"It was only a fainting fit, Rob
ert," she declared aliaost,petubuttly.
" I have been ,subjeitt to them from
my childhood You ire magnifying
a mere trifle into absurd importance."
And Mrs. Raytiona never told a
living soul bow she; too, bad seen
the ?death-pale face, with tite heavy
black hair swept backward, and the
scar, across the temple, seemingly
close to her own,- all she leaned out
to close the window shutters in the
white rain of moonlight.
" There is a fate-tn this marriage,"
she murmured, wringing her hands.
"It will never come to pass while
Wallace Burt's ghost rises from the
dead to forbid its bans. Death or
disaster will part my child and her
lover yet."
-Mrs. Raymond fears proved an.
real. Alice and Robert were married
in duo course of time, and she yen
tured to breathe freely, as month af
ter month glided by, without a single
cloud to mar the brightness of her
children's lives.
It was nearly a year afterwards,
that Mrs. Raymond received a letter
directed to her in _an unknown hand

We call ourselves poor ; whet of it ?
Thousands are in the same. condition.
Who is rich? If we take their own

i statement of my recollection hire
gard to the matter; is before me.
Before proceeding to `comply with
I your request, allow -me toit/ 4
word or two relative to the article's
the. Sun. The ides is there putiorth
that the Wilmot proviso originated
at a dinner party :of New York Barn-.
burners, at which JOhn- Van Bum;
SarauelJ. Tilden, a Western member
of Congress, of the name of Howe,
and others, were present ; and this
dinner party is said to have taken
place ! in 1847. Now, the Wilmot
proviso was introduced in committee
of the whole of the House of Repro ,
sentatives on the eighth of Augusta
1846 ; and there was not then I
member of Congress froin the West
or elsewhere of the name of Howe.—
[See House Journal; first session,
Twenty Nint ..Congress, p 1288.] —•••
Ail the proviso was introduced in
Committee of the Whole, and there
added to pending - bill by way of
amendment, mid as no journal- is
kept of proceedings in such commit.
tee, and the results of the action of
the committee alone • are reported to
the House, it does not appear by
whom the proviso was offered: - -- It
was in fact, however t offered by Mr.
Wilmot, of Pennsylvania, under the
circumstances hereafter' -to be men-
tiotied. What may have mewed at
a Now York dinner party in 1847, I,
of course, do not know ; but I am as
well satisfied as I can be of anything
that the idea ( f such a proviso origi
nated among members of the House
of llopresentatites in August, !Id, '
and not outside of that.body.
By reference to the House journal
you will see that the proviso waa at
tached by way of amendment 'to a
pending biU appropriating money to
enable the President to open negotis
ations for peace with' Mexico. 'Dar
ing the progress of the war we had'
already acquired military pOssession
of New Mexic.. and California, and,
it was everywhere well understood ,
that these were to be retained by the
United States as permanent
,acquisi
tions. The representative of the
slaveholding interests in Congress
cdnfidently ealentated that °these
would eventually become slavehold
ingo Stites, and so add to the voliti
on tb o u tte th r ° b r and lat m in a te ny ree l i femtl i t
St k t
from e free States feared that this
word be the case, , but were deter
mined if possible to prevent it.--
Promi ent conning the latter were
Hale Of New Hampshire, Hamlin of
Maine, Preston king, Rathbun,Jen. ,
kine, and Grover of New York Dill
ingham of Vermont, and Wilmot of
Pennsylvania. And as for myself, 1
was conscious of having rendered
myself, by my course on the question
of the Annexation of Texas, mime ! '
what notorious for seat if not 'for
discretion, in favor of" the policy of
Melting - the further eittension of I
slavery.
As for Mr. Wilmot, he, up to the
time of the introduction, of the provi-
so, was not generally known among
the members of the House as beingg.
in favorof this policy; but I bad
mere than once Conversed with him
on thesubject, and, knew that he
thought and felt as I did in regard to
it. In addition to 'this, ho, had be
come a favorite atiiong Southern
members, for the reason that he was
the only member from Pennsylvania
of either party' who had voted for the
bill, then recently passed, largely re
&Icing prctective duties on imports.
7 he session of Congress was about
to close, the Bth of August had arriv•
ed, and under a joint resolution alrea
dy passed,the two houses were to ad
journ -at noon on the 10th. The
President bad sent in a ispetlial Wes
sage asking the appropriation ahove
alluded to. 1 The message was re
ferred to a committee, ,which was
then absent from the House. sad en
gaged in its consideration. It was
easy to foresee that a bill in accor
r dance with the recommendations of
the message wouldsoon be inixoduo- ,
I ed and pushed throng's the House .
with all the promptitude which a
large • Democratic majority . ' and' ; the
force of party discipline could Com
mend; and that an approtristioh of
1 money to negotiate a peace with
Mexico, meant the purchase of Mex.
ican territory , for the benefit of the
lelavebolding interest. ' 1 '
Under thew circumstances, 410 6
consulted with no one, I sat down`
and drew up the proviso in the ex=
act language in which' it now' ap'•
Ipears on page 1288 of the journal;

my arrangement'" with, Vinton and

'concurred. ' ' '
It.was then ,arranged liming the
whole group, 2onsisting, per pus, of
ten or twelve, that each and. Wig us
should, at the 'proper tiMe; e.deavor
to get the floor - and if ' (lithe ens,
other than Wilmot should be first,
tecog. nixed by the chairman, he floor
should bp yielded,to Wilmot, and he
should offer thepeo*iso. At.the same
time, Wilmotorho,wasasomiAwhat fat
and phlegmatie, _was specially ex
horted to vigilance . and ,promptitude.
This arrangement , was carried. out,
and, as I had conjecttired, Wilmot
was recognieed by the chair.
The vote was' taken by tellers ;
and every man of every. party from
the free States except 'John A..lifc;
Clernand, of Illinois, and perhaps his
'colleague, Gieklin, voted for the pro
viso, and it was carried in 'asommitte
by an overwhelming majority:
When the bill was reported to the
Rouse and the yeas and , nays were
called on its paseage, a very others
from the free States, and all of the,
few members from Bentricky, 'who
had voted. for the , proviso in commit
tee, *crawfishQ., , with the honorable
and diatinguiehed exception of Wil
liam P. Thomason, of the Louisville
district, who I' bbliefni lies;

the end. But the. bill -withoutprovi.
so, passed the House,-, by a large ma-.
4ority, and went to the Senate. There
At was taken up on the morning of
the 10th of August, and John - Bars,
Senator . from Illssuchusetta i ,from
whaWnsitives, or ander what fan
ences; God knows, spoke; and obsti
nately persisted in speaking against
time, until ths!, moment li=ed by joint
resolution for the adjournment of the
two houses arrived,' and thus thebill
and itspravisis were lost for that eva
sion of Congress.
From the above statement,' you
will see that the ides otattathing
prohibitory proviso to the bill,'ls
amendment to which it was offered,
arose simultaneously in the minds of
&wend membera; . and that I am en
titled to'no very great, ant no e'sclu

How TO SAVE YOUR EYES.-By sit

the light to fail obliquely over the
'shoulder while reading or sewing.—
By not using the eyes for sich pun._
poses by an artificial light, especial
ly gas light. By avoiding the spec
ial use of- 'the eyes •in the morning
before. breakfast By resting them
for hallo minute or so,.while reading
or sewing, or looking at things at a
distance, or up to the ; relief is
immediately felt -by so doing. Nev.
.er Tick any collected matter from
the eyelashes or corners of the eyes
with the finger-nails; rather moisten
it and rub it away carefully with .the
bill'of,the finger. -Keep ' the feet
warm, and never cool the head sud
denly, under penalty of inflammation
of the eyes. It is better. to bathe
the eyes on the outside 'at night-than
morning, but it will - do 'them no harm
to bathe' them both .morning , and
evening.- The.moment the 'eyes feel
tired, and the moment you are con
scions of an effort to read or sew,
Jay aside the book or .needlo and
take a walk for an or employ
yourself in some active .exercise not
requiring the close use of the eyes.
