The old house dog ay cozily on the door step with one eye open, frhile on the window ;sill pussy reposed in com fort. The neat white curtains looped up so fan cifully ; the neat jaesamins arid rosen climbing pp on the porch, spoke of the taste of its occu pants. Just within the door, in a meat white bap, sits the good dame, at the present moment, v|with her eye brows clouded. j j “Where can Kitty stay so ?’* 'exclaimed pame Clyde; -here it is almost dinner time, and ho signs of her.

Is she waiting for the fish to bite? Ahj no, for there beside her tits Harry Jones, one arm around her waist, the other playing with her curls., "V:ery pleas ant in their talk, for potty's mpsical laugh rings put every moment. Never dreaming of the fime, never thinking of poor father’s dinner, she sits listening to her lover’s talk. But now fhe sunbeams kiss Kitty’s face and remind her her duties. f “ Good gracious !” she exclaimed, starting up Suddenly, upsetting her basket and its contents, “ it’s noon ! Oh ! how motlierj will scald. It’s (joo bad you kept me so long,” 3 j “ I kept yon, Kitty ?” asked Harryj; “ I rath er think it is your fault.”' | i f “Wellj my fault or yours, I’ll get a scolding, that’s certain ;” and gathering up lino, rod and Ipasket, she turned towards home. J “-Stop, Kitty, you hape forgotten something!” plarry cried. j Kitty turned to see what she had forgotten, when her lover caught her in his arms and gave ■tier a hearty kiss. ‘ •, I “Shame I*" said Kitty, “you date not "do (mat again !"- and again she senmpereid. ; Noon in the cottage, and from the mill comes large, robust man, with the ringing step of rjne of nature’s noblemen.

That girl will surely come to no goodj end, she ik so wild," replied the good dame. 1 “ Nay, wife, she is young yet. • When she gets older she will be wiser. ’ Just then Miss Kitty was seen walking de murely towards the house. , j “ Where have you been, you wild, w Id girl ?” j “ To the brook, to catch trout moth ;r." . j “ And what kept you so long ?” j “ Why, I was thinking, and thinkirg—” j “ Just think of home a little - more, Mlss.v— You’ll surely break your father’s and mother’s hfeart, if you keep qn in this heltir-akelter way.” Kitty’s-eyes filled with tears, “lam sure, mother, if I bad th )ught—” She could say no more), but weeping, Sj le turned a way. “ Come here, girl, apd kiss your father.” With a bound she flung her arms around her father’s neck, and then her mother’s. “Now, Kitty, hurry and getjdinner.” > Kitty needed no seepnd hiddjing. The little table was covered as if by magic. The delic ious Butter, the snow-white bread, the,tempting preserves, soon invited the triojto dinner. The humble blessing asked, they ehjoyed the meal i:i silence.' 1 ! Kitty Clyde was the belle of the village; tie dream of the young men; ( the envy of the girls. People said—and we all know that peo ple will talk—that Harry Jones Was Kitty’s tjeap, an insinuation which Kitty indignantly denied. ' Be matters as they were, the truth Was Kitty was"a little: inclined to coquette.— Eree and open-hearted; of good disposition, pret ty face and figure, Kitty liked to be admired. To be sure, away down in her heart something v^hispered, —“ You love Harry Jqnes ; ” but then she could not J | be satisfied with one “string” to her “bead.” I Supper came, and Kitty wad missing again.

JKittyiput both bands to her ears, saying, “I won’t hear.” ' 1 “Kitty,” and Harry’s- voice took a deeper Itone, “ I love yon. ‘ I have watched you' a long time. 1 have seen youj bestow many bright smiles ola others, but now, Kitty, I ask them all for myself. Do you love me, Kitty ?” “ What nonsense is this ?” exclaimed Kitty, archly shilling. i “ Nonsense ? No, it is not. nonsense. Do you lovfi me, Kitty ?” “ No 1” The word was harshly spoken, and Hairy turned to hide his emotion.’ ; “ Thein good bye, Kitty Clyde. I never thought! you a flirt, till now—never.” Harry turned f on his heel and walked quickly away. For a npoment Kitty sat irresolute, then warned i by the coming darkness, she hastened homeward. “ Child, child,” said her mother, “ where have you been V’ Kitty made ho reply 1 , lint, seeking her own little chamber, she threw herself on the bed and wept. For almost an hour she wept there, and then said, she will ccjme again to-morrow. That night wild dreamy flitted through Kitty Clyde’s | head. She dreamed she was a. bride, but there was no bridegroom. So overpowered was shq by her emotions,! that she awoke, just as the snn came peeping jin the little window. Kitty|was more than usually brisk that morn ing, forishe longed for thq time to come for her to meet Harry again. Taking down her basket from itsi perch, and her rod from behind the door, she wandered through the meadow to ward th!e rock. There shq sat waiting till noon, and Harry-had not come.i “Well, he’ll be here at sunset,” thought Kitty as she sauntered tqward home. Sunset brought no Harry, but oh the reck lay a note which Kitty hastily opened. It was short and precise. I “Kitty—' You-do not level mo. lam going away to.morrow. Farewell! God bless you. llarry,” Hashing back a sob, she quickly folded the note and placed it in her|bosom. It was hard work to keep back the tears, bat pride came to her help, 1 “ What ails thee, Kitty ?” asked her mother; “ art tho u sick, child ?" \ “ No, mother," Just then Mr. Clyde entered. 1 “Have you heard the news?” he asked of Kitty. “ News, what news, father ?” “Why, Harry Jones is;going to ship—” He said no more, but sprang forward to catch the fainting form of 1 Kitty. “Is he gone father, is he gone?” eagerly asked Kitty. ; “ Not yet, be starts to-morrow.” “ Then I have timeand up stairs she flaw. The old couple looked at each other significant ly. Kitty soon found peri, ink and paper, and. wrote this note: '• Harry —Meet me at the took to-morrow at sun set. • Kitty.” Folded and despatched, Kitty soon went to rest.

The following is the appendix to Dr. Binn’s “Anatomy of Sleep.” It was communicated to the author by Hon.

He dreamed that he bad risen as us ual, and descended to the library the morning being hazy. He then seated himself at bis sec retaire tcj write, when happening to look up a long avenue of trees, opposite the window, he perceived! a.man in a blue jacket, mounted on a white horse, coming towards the' house.

A STBAHGB DBEAM. DOUGLAS’ BECORD. The introduction of the third Nebraska bill; repealing the-Missouri Compromise, constitutes the turning point in Mr. Douglas’ political highway. From this sharp corner, his course is wholly and utterly pro-slavery, down to the introduction of the Lecompton bill in the Sen ate, where he takes a position of indifference, best expressed in his phrase, “ Don’t care whether slavery is voted down or voted up.” The indifferent mood is preserved a little more than two years, when, as will be seen by the record, he becomes more wrathfully pro-slavery than ever before. HE GOES DIRECTLY FOE SUPREME COURT SOVEEr EIGNTY AND A TERRITORIAL SLAVE CODE. On the 23(fof .June, 'lBOO, the Douglas wing Of tiff National Democratic Convention, at Baltimore, finished up its business by adopting the following resolution as a part of his plat form, resolution having been offered by Mr. Wickliffe, of Louisiana, who declared that its adoption would give Mr. Douglas 40,000 votes in that State : i “ Resolved, That it is in accordance with the Cincinnati platform, that during the existence of Territorial Governments, the measure of re striction, whatever it may be, imposed by.the Federal Constitution on the poweirof-fhe 'Te|~ ritorial Legislature over the subject of the do mestic relations, as the same Ziosj been dr shall hereafter he decided hy the Supreme Court bf the United States, should be respected by all good citizens, and enforced with promptness and fidel ity hy every branch of the General Government.” In his letter accepting the nomination, Mr. Douglas gave his particular attention to the Wickliffe slave-code resolution, remarking upon it as follows: - , “Upon a careful examination of the platform of principles adopted at Chaileiston, and re affirmed at Baltimore, with an additional reso lution which is in perfect harmony with the others, I find it to be a faithful embodiment of the'time-honored principles of the Democratic party, as the same were proclaimed and under stood by all parties i.n the Presidential contests of 1848, 1852. and 1850.” Thus has squatter sovereignty at last been completely squatted out 1 HE DEFENDS THE BORDER RUFFIANS OF |IISSOURI. In Douglas’ Report on Kansas AffaSrs, Mar. 12, 1850, page 9, he defended the Border Ruf fian invaders of Kansas, as follows: “ The natural consequence wab that immedi ate steps 'were taken by the people of the western counties of Missouri to stimulate, or ganize and carry into effect a system of emi gration, similar to that of the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Company, for the, avowed pur pose of .counter acting the effects and protecting themselves amj their domestic institutions from the consequences of that company’s operations. “The material difference in the character of the two rival and conflicting movements consists in the fact that the one had its origin in an AG GRESSIVE and the other in a DEFENSIVE policy.” - , | I I HE DECLARES THE BOGUS I.EuISLATijRE OF KANSAS TO HAVE BEEN {valid. In the same report, and bn page 15 thereof, Mr. Douglas asserted the validity of the bogus legislature and its acts, as follows; “So far as the question ‘involves THE LE GALITY OF THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE AND THE VALIDITY OF ITS ACTS, it is entirely immaterial whether we adopt the rea soning and conclusion of the minority or ma jority reports, for each proves that LATURE WAS LEGALLY lAND DULY CONSTITUTED.” HE SATS THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS MUST BE “ SUBDUED.” | In the same report, and on page 40 thereof, he advocates the subjection of j the people of Kansas, in the following words: I “In this connection, your Committee feel sincere satisfaction in commending the messa ges and proclamations of the | President/in which we have the gratifying assurance that the supremacy of the laws will be maintained ; that rebellion will be crushed; * * * that the federal and local laws will !be vindicated against all attempts of resistance.” And again, in his speech of March 12th, 1856: “ The minority report advocates foreign in terference ; we advocate self-government and non-interference. Wa are ready to meet the issue, and there will be no dodging. We in tend to meet it boldly; TO REQUIRE SUB MISSION TO THE LAWS AND TO THE CONSTITUTED AUTHORITIES; TO RE DUCE TO SUBJECTION THOSE WHO RE SIST THEM, AND TO PUNISH REBELL ION AND TREASON. lam glad that a de fiant spirit is exhibited here: we accept the issue.”— Congressional Glohe, part 1, 1855—50, page 639. HE THINKS SENATOR SUMNER SHOULD BE “KICKED LIKE A DOG.” On the 20th day of May, 1856, Mr. Douglas indulged in the following language, in reply to Senator Sumner —the day on vfhich he was bludgeoned by Preston S. Brooks: “It is his object to provoke some of ns to KICK HIM AS WE WOULD A DOG! A Hundred times has he called the Nebraska Bill a swindle—an act of infamy,, and. each time went on to illustrate the complicity of each ynamwho voted for it, in perpetrating the crime,, i* * * How dare he approach one of these gentlemen, to give him his hand, after that act? If he felt the courtesies between men, he would not do it. He would deserve to have himself SPIT IN THE FACE fordoing so.”—Appen dix to Ha Cong. Globe, 1855-50, page 545, HE VINDICATES. DAVID A. ATCHISON. In the same speech, and on the same day, Mr. Douglas proceeded to vindicate Davi4 R. Atchison, of Missouri,, who was then leading a company of Border Ruffians against Kansas, in the-following eulogistic terms: j “ The Senator has also made an assault on the late President of the Senate—dleneral Atch ison—a gentleman of as Sind-a nature, iof as genuine and true a heart as ever animated a human soul. He is impulsive- and genejrous,- carrying his good qualities' sometimes to im ex cess, which induces., him to say and do many things that would not meet my approval-; hut all who know him, know him to be a gentle man and an honest man—true and loyal to the Constitution of his country.”— Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1855-56, page , HEENDORSES THE I.ECOJIPTON CONSTITUTION IN ADVANCE. j On the 12th of June, 1857, Mr, Douglas made his “Grand Jury” speech, so-called, at Spring field, to which one reference has already been made. The following extracts from this speech are taken from the phonographic report pub lished in the Missouri Republican of June 18th, 1857. The famous Lecompton Convention had just been called by the .bogus Legislature, apd on this topic he spoke as follows: “ Kansas is about to speak for herself through her delegates assembled in convention to form a constitution;, preparatory to her admission into the Union" on an equal footing with the original States. Peace and prosperity now prevail throughout her borders. The law un der which her delegates]are to be electedjis be lieved to be just and fair in all its objects and provisions. If any portion of the inhabitants, acting under the advice of political leaders in distant States, shall choose to absent themselves from the polls, and withhold their votes, with ft view of leaving the Free State Democrats in a minority, and thus securing a pro-slavery con stitution in opposition to a majority of the peo ple living under it. Jet the responsibility'Test on those who, for partisan purposes, will sacri fice the principles they profess to cherish and promote. SAYS THE DECLARATION” OF INDEPENDENCE •WAS NOT INTENDED TO INCLUDE “ ALL MEN.” In the same speech, Mr. Douglas ventilated his views of the Declaration "of Independence, as follows: “ The signers of the Declaration of Indepen dence, referred to white man, and to him alone, when they declared that all men were created equal. The principle thby were asserting was that a British subject born on American soil, mas equal to a British subject bom in England —that a British subject here, was entitled to all the rights, privileges, and immunities, un der the British Constitution that a British sub ject in E.ngland enjoyoU ; that their rightswere inalienable, and hence, that Parliament, whoso power was omnipotent, had no power to alien ate them.” It appears thus, that in Mr. Douglas’ opin ion not*only the African, i;ace, but the German, Italian, French, Scandinavian, and, indeed, every nation except the English, Irish, Scotch and American, are excluded from all part or lot in the Declaration of Independence. The phrase “ all men,” dots not refer to them. They have no business with the Fourth of July. It is to be observed that, in this matter Mr. Douglas has outrun the Dred Scott decision it self, which, after-quoting the language of the Declaration of Independence, says: . “The general words above quoted would seem to embrace the whole human family, and if they were used in a “similar instrument at this dny, would he so understood. But it is too clear for dispute, that the enslaved African race were not intended to be included, and formed no part of the people who framed and this declaration.” HE SATS SLAVERY" IS IX ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OP CIVILIZATION AND CHRISTIANITY. In the same speech Mr. Douglas gave utter ance to the following atrocious sentiments on jslavery in the Restrict: j “At that day the negro was looked upon as a being of an inferior :race. All history had proved that in no paffof the world, or the world’s history,' had the negro ever shown him self capable of self-goVernnient, and it was not the intention of the founders of this govern ment to violate that great law of God which made the distinction between the white .and the black man. That distinction is plain and palpable, and it has been the rule, of civiliza tion and Christianity the world over, that when ever any man or set of men were incapable of Inking care of themselves, they should consent to be governed, by those who are capable of managing their affairs for them.” I We find the same idea, in nearly the same language, in his Chicago speech of October 23d, 1850, as published in Sheahan’s Life of Doug las, to-wit: ■ ‘ • “ The civilized world have always held that when any race of men have shown themselves so degraded by ignorance, superstition, cruelty, and -barbarism as to be utterly incapable of governing themselves, they must, in the nature of things, be governed ' by others, by inch laws as are deemed applicable to their condition.” —[Sheahan’s Life of Douglas, page 184.] This is popular sovereignty with a vengeance. HE BATS THE ALMIGHTY HAS REQUIRED THE EX ISTENCE OF SLAVERY ! 1 In the Mentphis speech, following immedi ately after the Extract quoted above, from tbo Avalanche, comes the following blasphemous declaration: i “ The Almighty has drawn the line on this continent on one side of which the soil must be cultivated hy slave labor.

TAIiLETHAND AUB ABITOLD. There was a day when Talleyrand arrivedjn Havre on foot from Paris. It was the, darkest 'hour of ?he Revolution. Pursued by the blood boons of the Reign' of Terror, striped of every wreck of property,.Talleyrand secured a pas sage to America in a ship about to sail. Ho was a beggar and a wanderer to a strajnge land, to earn his daily bread by labor. Is there any American stopping at your house,” he asked the landlord of the hotel. “I .am boundrta cross thh water, and would like'k letter to ii person of influence in America.” The landlord'hesitated a moment and' then replied - ■ “ There is a gentleman up stairs, but whether he came from America or England is more than I can tell.” He pointed the way,'and Talleyrand—whoin his-life, was bishop, prince, and minister—as cended the stairs; a-miserable suppliant stood before the stranger’s door knocked and Was ad mitted. ’ In a far corner of the dimly lighted mom, sat a man of some fifty years, bis arms, folded and his.head bowed upon his breast. From'a win dow idirectiy opposite, a flood of light poured updnj his forehead.

The strange gentleman ‘’arose. With a look that Talleyrand never forgot, he retreated to wards the dborofjhe next chamber, his eyes- Mill looking] froth' beneath, his darkened brow: “lam the only man.of {be new world who can raise his hand to God and say: ,1 have not % friend—not ionc—in all America." ■ Talleyrand never forgot the overwhelming ‘sadness of look which accompanied these words. “ Who are yon ?” he cried; as the strange man retreated to the nest room, “ your name?” “My natie,” he replied, with a smile that bod more of mockery than joy in in tha convul sive expression, A* my name is Benedict Ar nold." .. 1. - He was gone.
