I LIJZLINTY. REMARKS OF MR• KELLEY In the [rouse of Representatives of Penn sylvania/ Tuesday evening, leeb ruary 7, 1865, Pon. W. D. Kelley spoke as follows on the Senate Resolution Tatifying the Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; Mr. Speaker, I rejoice that this opportu nity is 'afforded me of recording my vote in favor of.the abolition of slavery. If left to my own free choice, I would have asked no higher distinction—no greater pleasure.— Witco I recall its baleful influences and blighting. effects, even before it, culminated in the fearful struggle which has been con vulsing the nation for the past four years, the untold crimes it instigated, the dreadful miseries it producetl, the dissensions to which it gave rise,aud the reproach which it brought upon us from the whole civilized world, 1 achieVed a victory greater than the annals of history have ever yet recorded, when we shall set the seal upon the death warrant of A. merman slavery. Of what infinitely greater magnitude, then, does the triumph appear when, after this baleful power has raised its arm against the Government, Mid for four long, bitter years deluged the hind with blood, desolated households, sundered the ties of kindred, broken flintily circles, and spread weeping and lamentation and woe from the lakes to the gulf and from ocean to ocean, that now we have it in a death grasp from which it cannot escape I' thank my God that I have been spared to see this day, and permitted to be a participant in this bless ed consummation of many a hope and pray er. - As the thirsty traveler on an arid des ert longs for the cool fountain—as the ship wrecked mariner upon a stormy sea strains his eyes to - catch a glimpse of some rescuing bark, so have I longed and watched for the coming of the time when this vital power of the‘ rebellion shouht be crushed, and we could confidently look forward to a speedy termina -1 tion of this fearful strife, and the establish ment of,apeace lasting and perpetual, based upon the 'true principal of free Government. I envy not the future of that man who lifts his voics now to stay the coming of that e vent. ,I should tremble ler myself did I, by any word or act of mine, interpose an obsta cle in the pathway which Providence has plainly marked out for the Nture, and I pre dict that the time will come, and soon, when those here who cast' their votes against this measure will call upon the rocks and moun tains to fall upon arid hide 'then) from the in ferny which awaits those aim stand in the way of human progress and the advancement of human freedom, Christianity and religion. That man must be wilfully blind who fails to see the hand of the Almighty plainly dis played thioughont this whole struggle, from .its first inception to the present time. Step by step, as we progressed, His purposes have been revealed, and, unwilling as we were, we have been compelled to carry them out at last. We . tried to' conduct the war by cam promising with and endeavoring to save that which gave it birth, vitality and power.— For more than a year,and a half the greater portion of our armies was employed princi pally in catching and returning runaway slaves wbo came 'within our lines. The Guy.% eta:intent strove, with increasing vigilance, to keep the institution of slavery intact wher ever our forces...occupied southern territory, until thousands upon thousands of lives were needlessly sacrificed, and it became plainly apparent to all that the rebellion never could be subdued while slavery—which led and fostered it—was kept alive.- It became a question of necessity to strike at the vital poirciple of the rebellion If was either death to the Goveintient or to, slavery. One or the other mustnall, and thwis precisely the issue now in this, struggle, and the issue up on which it began, though we strove sedu lously to shut our eyes to the fact. I gtieve that so many born and - reared upon free soil —educated in free institutions; and enjoying in their fullest extent all the blessings of a free Government, would to tit& .day choose to preserve slavery rather than the Govern ment. I remember well under what circum stances-I first heard the Emancipation Proc lamation. I was at Nashville, Tennessee, under the command of a gallant Pennsylva nian, General .sfegley. There were men there from almost every State - in - the Union - , and belonging to all political parties, and I shall never forget the cheer of gladness with which treat proclamation was hailed by them. Ido not believe there was a man among them who found fault with it Every one had been_ long convinced by hitter experience that the Government could not conquer the rebellion and preserve shivery. I say then thaw all these charges that this is a war of abolitionism upon our part are utterly false. It is a was of slavery against tbe_Gevern m en t r and—in-ther-struggle - it - bTi= comes necessary to choose which must die. Wo-could-coinprontise_no_lenger_with_the ac cursed thing. No longer could the two an tagonistic elements dwell together. Too often had we yielded •to the haugh.ty demands. of the slave power. We fed its arrogance and insolence by continued and humiliating con cessins, until it demanded that we should sacrifice every right—every vestige of free dom, and make the Government/itself an in strument subservient to its wishes and be hests. And when an outraged people refu sed longer to brook its ins;.dent threats or yield to its insatiate demands, then it,hurb ed its whole power against the life of the Uovernment. In the guilty - madness which possessed its leaders, precipitating them blindly into re- hellion, may be seen the traces of that over ruling power which mould: and governs all bunion action, making it - subservient to Ii is own wise purposes, Ihe linte_thatin4hc economy of God's Providence all these events ' *ere ordered and directed for the promotion of human icaod, and the re-establishment of this Government upon the-basis of mlti:di- tied freedom. That, as of old, He compassed the liberty of Ilis chosen people by harden- ' ing_the_heart-antl-blinding-the-eyes-ef-their tyrant, Pharoah, so in this, through the fell madness of the leatiers,of the slave power, He has brought about its overthrow, and the emancipation of this great nation. I feel that the blood of the brave men who fell in. this struggle has yielded speedy and glorious re sults. Regenerated an d disenthralled; I know of no height to which thitinatien may not attain. I see before us a future blighter than has yet. dawned upon any people. Renee it is ,with a peculiar pleasure that I cast my vote to give the form and sanction of law and constitutional enactment to that which is al ready a fixed fact, accomplished by the mill tai y power of the Government in the subju gatiou of the rebellion. Our noble sons and brothers in the field, led by Grant, Sherman Sheridan, Farragut and Porter,, have done the work and now=--so het me lieuven—l shall not refuse to ratify, nod endorse their deeds. Desiring peace—speedy, permanent and lasting pe.tee—l am for supporting the brave men who are conquering it for us. •Desiring harmony and concord throw ;bout all sections dare nation, I am for destroying that which was the sole cause of nll our dissensions. De siring freedom, I. am for abolishing forever the system of human slavery. Desiring a humane and Christian Government, lam for extirpating this greatest of our national sins. E want to hear no longer the groans of the oppressed and the cries of The suffering. I want to see no longer the right of property in man recognized—the barter and sale of bu nion flesh and blood—the sanctity of the mar riage relation despised—the wife torn from her husband—the child from its payent—and the brutal lusts of human nature fostered and pampered. I, want to see . this• Government regenerated and purified, based upon the eternal a c id immutable principles ofjustice, recognizing the right of all men to liberty and. life, and with a united and happy people take its proper place above all other nations of the world—the pioneer and leader in the glorious work of .uniliersul enlightenment and free dom. To the accomplishment of this end I have dedicated all the energies of my being, and with this purpose in view I shall east my vote in favor of this resolution. Keeping One's Word Sir William Napier was one day taking a long country walk near Freshford, when he met a little girl about five years old, sobbing bitterly over a broken bowl ; she had dropped and broken 'it in bringing it back from the field to which she had taken her father's dinner in it, and she said she would be beaten on her return home.— ,Then, with a .sudden gleam of hope, she innocently looked up into his face and said ; ''But ye cadmend it, can't ye ?' Sir Wil liam smilingly explained that he could, by the gift, rif a sixpence to buy another.— However. on opening his purse, it was emp ty, of silver, and he had to make amends by promising to meet his little friend in the same spot at the same hour nett day.— The child, entirely •trusting him, went on her way comforted. On his return he found an, invitation a waiting him to dine in Bath the , following evening, to meet some 'one whom he spool. 1 ally wished to see. He ,hesitated fur some , time, trying to calculate the possibility of giving the meeting to his little friend of the broken bowl, and of stilt being in time for the dinner party in Bath; but finding this. could not be, he wrote •to decline ac cepting, the invitation owthe plea of a pre engagement,' saying to his family : "t can not disppoint her, she trusted me so int , plieit ly. ABRAHAM AND HIS BRETHREN. BY JACK SNOWDON. CIIAPTER I • Of the das when A brahanr the Mother, was Thezj ruler in the land of the Shivelree. And iVeittne to pass in those days, there arose mighty "wars arid rumors of wars a gainst! Abraham the Mollur, because he would not let the tribe known .as the Shivel ree, buy and sell of the tribe knowti as the flatuites, and also from the Phurst Paul:deer, that dwelt round' about the river Po-Tomaek. And the wrath of the Shivelree waxed hot, and threatened to prevail against Abraham, who culled his mighty man of war, Lituluaah; to go out against the hobts of Jeph, and the same were lead by a man of great skill, whose name was Robutleeh. And they met on the Lplains of Oldclomin-Yun r and.the mighty men of Litulutak mild not withstand the men of Robutleeh, and Abraham the Moll& was wroth and wept when his favorite captain, Litulinak was everthroirm:but Litultnak qui eted the people and said unto them, "look not to the captains but unto Abraham the . 11 - triltn7wh - o - raisecth r -- "fiii - erm." And it came to pass at the self-same - hour, there arose a mighty tribe which had kept hidden' in fear of Abraham, and who are known to this day as the Kopur netts; and they were wroth with Abraham, and cursed him, and their chief leaders were Villain-Dikbanm, and Pher nandiwud. Now Abraham was a just, man, and these thinks did not find favor in his eyes, so he called the wise men around him, that he might take counsel, and the Shivel ree scoffed at him. But when they had held council together, Abraham said, "give me the head of Litultnalt," and it was straight way given him, and the 'Koper Ifeds were all sore dl raid. And it came to pass that A braham called another of his chief captains, whose name was Berne-Sighed, but he was likewise overcome, by Robuticeh, and Abra• ham came near swearing in his wrath, yet he held his Nadu and despatched a man of great skill to. meet this Robuticeb, 'whose name as Jowhook,l• ,;r____Ami_Robutleelt-earee-up on Jowhook-Er with his mighty men, and he fled from the field, and the pride of Rob utleeh waxed exceeding great. • And Abra ham culled Ceorge the Mede, who met Rob utleeh in - the Mud of the Yang-Keys and pre vailed against, him in battle, and the Shivel _ree,_lind-tho2-Kopur-fleds-were-very--sorrow'- ful. Anti there arose another mighty man unto Abraham time Moiler, whose fame was noised round about the whole land, and he was set eve' all Abraham's men; the foot sol diers, the horsemen, the chariots, and all those that went oat to do battle against the hosts of Jepli, And his Dllll3O was Yu-Lis sisgrant. About this time the Kopur Reds were exceeding wroth with Abraham, because Yu-Lissisgrant slew their friends of the Shiv &ea by thousands, and they threatened to take Abraham down from his seat, but A braham was a man of great wisdom ' and he saw the tre'mchery of their hearts,sohe lifted up a brazen serpent in the wilierness of Ken na-Dee, and. behold the Kopur lleds fell down and worshipped it, yet they did not cease to curse the name of Abraham. About sane hour there arose a mighty tatuu amongs the people, and — f tore came rom t e western country a multitude of armed men, blowing loud, trumpets, and the loudest were blown by Pherhandi wad, and Villain-Dig ham. Now•it came.to . pass that after a ter rible war with Abraham the the tribe of the Kopur Hods was pearly extinct, and they fell under the yoke of, Abraham, which they mourned with great lamentations for four years and, upwards. Proverbs One lie draws ten more after it. Of money, wit, and virtue, believe one fourth of what you hear men say. • One day of a wise man, is worth the whole life of a fool. One ill example spoils many good laws One eye of the master sees more than four eyes of his servant. One pair of ears will drain dry an hundred tongues. Obstinacy is the worst, the most incurable of all sins. One mild word quenches more heat than a bucket • of water. One fool in one house is enough in all eon science. Of two rewards, be bath the baler who first finds the other out. One sword keeps another in the scabbard One enemy is too much for a man in a great post, and a hundred friends are too few. • Oil and truth will get uppermost at the last.

' "railing in Love.', This expression has done an incalculable amount of mischief in the world by oodvey ing an idea that it is a thing which cannot be resisted, and which must be,given way to, either with or without mason. Persons. are .said to have fallen in love, precisely as they would have been said to fall into a fever or an ague-fit, and the worst mode of this ex pression is, that amongst young people, it has led to a general yealding up of the heart to the first impression, as if it poseised of zt self no power of resistance. It is from gen eral notions such as these, that the idea and the name of love hay_eheen_v_ulgarixed_artd degiaded; and in connection with this degra dation a flood of evil has poured in upon that idea of woman's life, where the virtues of her domestic character aro 'exercised.— What, then, is love, in its highest, boliest character ? It is woman's all—her health, her power, her very being. Man, let him love as he may, has ever an existence die duet from that of his affections. lie bee, his worldly interests, his public character, his ambition, his competition with other men —but woman centers all in that one feeling, and— „ In that ale lires; or else he ham no life.” In woman's love is mingled the trusty de pendence of a child, tor she ever looks up to a man as her protector and her guide; the frankness, the social feeling, and the tender ness of a sister--for is 'not man her friend ? the solicitude, the anxiety, the careful watch• ing of the mother—for would she not suffer to preserve him from harm 1 Such is love in a noble mind, and especially in its first commencement, when it is almost invariably elevated, and pure, trusting anti disinteres ted.' Indeed, the woman who could mingle low views and selfish calculations with her first attachment, would scarcely be worthy of the name. Beautiful Answe:s.

Sleep—its Importance, There is no fact more clearly established in the physiology of man than this, that the brain expends its energies and itsedf during the hours of wakefulness, and that these are recuperated during sleep, if the recuperation does not equal the expenditure, the brain withers; this leads to insanity. Thus it is that, in early English history, persons who were condemned to death by being prevented from sleeping, always died raving maniacs; thus it is also, that those who are starved to death first become insane • the brainia not nourished, and they can not sleep. Crazy persons are poor sleepers, while good sleepers seldoM become crazy. The practi cal inferences are these: Ist.
