Called forth my r Irtuci, or from vice restrained." Amy Jordaine, tho heroir.c of thi lit tle history of orphanage, wn but n child of four ychrs, when, with her parents. in tho good ship Curlew, nho was borne in childish delight over tho ocean ware, Sho was their only one, and their love for tho beautiful creature wus tho more concentrated; and they felt a warm at tachment for all their fellow-voyasorb, because their own bricht idol was the favorito of all on board. They wcro returning homo from a tour abroad, and their heart danced liko tho waves orer their longing homeward glances, as they thought ot the dear fumiliur frierds and Heenes they hoped soon to meet again. yhcn within a few days sail of their native land, a tempent burnt upon them, and tho skill of the seamen and the taunt-hneHs of tho tcphcI were tanked to tho utmost. At last tho alarm of the passengers took color from the captain' face which, alter the long protracted buffets ot the storm, trrew white os despair could miiko it. The disablo 1 r-hip grew unmanageable, and warne! b her Uismaiittcu etatc, nnd tho cry that sho wus sinking, effort wcro made to escape in tho boats. Many wcro lost in that dipmnl nttempt, und but few escaped the hungry billows in the nubseqiucnt struglo to keep afloat. Tho little hi d, who hud been pasncd into the hand of a brav tar, war- nepurated from her parent in that black, turbulent, desolate hour, aud

when morninrr broko unon tho turbulent

waters, no vestige of the wreck or their other companions could bo seen by Mio tew occupant ot tho littlo boat In which Amy remained, noNtlcd in tho arms ol tit o huniuiio nailor. 'Pxr child," emid John Wellmnn, hal: forgetting hi own grief in tho dotitiilion of hi hclptcM, nil i veil ng charge "If it p!euio God that wo bo picked up I will be both lather and mother to you though my hut by tho ie:ishoro U bul htimblo to what 'oti mtift havo known. It is only my duty, now that your parent are awallowod up forever. ' In tho course of tho day, a veol hove in sight, und rescued tho nurvivor in tho boat; and, in duo timo. John oilman and hi imrcntle charge . arrived at thu yottau'o by thoe:t, Irom which he had ab'.ented himself for a few month crnie. Tho sobbing child soon hushed !ier Uficf and learned to lovo her rourh, but tender-hearted preserver. Jlo had learned her name on board tho Curlew, and subnwpicnt' tiding convinced him that sho was nn utter orphan, no was a onely'inan, and Iho presence ol hi adopted daughter gave light to hi tl weling, aud mado the lHhcrmun s labors es irksomo. A Bhe grew up, Amy helped to pre pare hi. 4 meal when nho was not nt the vilhigo school, u milo away, und to repair his net on tho nundy beach; nnd performed it thousand childh uflleei for him with an affectlonnto cheerfulness, which proved her as grutful a she was lovely; and oflen, fur hours, ho would Htand on tho hill which roso behind tho cottage, nnd watch hi distant sail, as ho persued his nvoeatior clapping her bund with delight when nho p.tw that homeward bail enlarging on her vision. And when, at lime in ii visits to tho town, he would leave icr thcro nlono, fho wtmld climb that till with a mournful fuce, to look out nlono on tho dark neu, and meditate will childish lancic-4 upon tho widound melancholy irravo of tho parents Bhe could acarcely remember. 4,I wih that my Heavenly rather had been kind enough to spare them to mo," fdio would reflect 'that I might bo ns good to them as I try to bo to Mr. Wellman. 1 Hiould have been so nappy lut since I cannot hd good to them, I iopo that fiod will teach mo to do n they would havo had me do to other; . . a a Willi .1 or then 1 Know 1 shall pieao mom in i i r a 1 1 ! 1 1 ... I icaven; ana wnen i oioitu wm iuku me whero they uro. üh, how pleasant it would be." - . 'Yon aro too melancholy, my little ans," the fisherman would sometimes say to Amy, when he was in her musinj; mood. 'You muat learn lo sini; liiul pt.tv -as tho Indira do in tho village. And ho I thit.k of it, I remember how rcrv Imul of music your lather and mother wcro when we wcro aboard that unlucky ship. I have heard them play und sing in tho captain's cabin; und l reckon more sweeter mu-ic was never piped nor larnt than what I hoard then." Tho gill's eyes glistened with tears, and lur earnest look sank into tho tailor's heart, a ho said, imploringly: "ü!i, did they sing and play, loo? And wcro they "so fond of it? Oh, if I could only be taught oh, if I only could. If they could not hear mo up in heaven, if f could l.irn to sing well. I could at least please thorn who loved music liko them, and that and that" (and r-ho sobbed violently) "would be something to think of. Üh, do, Mr. Wellman do lot mo learn to sing and play it my father aud mother did, and then I will bless you." And she clung to his neck and kissed him pasrtionately. "I will seo what can bo done for you my bonny bunting," ho said; "and bo sides making you cheerful, it may be tho means of getting yon a living, when I am dead and gone my little sweet " John Wellman soon found in tho vitiligo it lady who was kind enough to touch tho orphan girl for nothing, finding how tractablo and remarkably proficient a scholar sho proved to be; and twice a week, for along time, Amy Joidaino. at the ago of tweivo, received !u'P vocal and instrumental lessons, till her wonderful voico and excellence as a pianisto became the talk of tho Tillage, aud tho prido of tho village church, where every Sabbath she sang. Tho orphan's filial and romantic wish was being .calized, and with thankful heart she alway returned to the cottage, win n ono da), as she entered there to please tho weather-beaten fisherman with a now song sho had , learned, bIic found her benefactor lying dead upon tho floorl A fatal lit had seized upon him wh'de 6ho was nwsy, nnd ulone and unseen, his honest spirit fled to (iod. Her horror, her wretchedness, at that - ... awful sight, might havo frightened a less noblo mind, or a less ntlectionate heart; but. with heroic loitiludo and her utmost effort, unused to d atu u sue was, sho contrived to lift his body to tho bed; and there sho knelt, and sob bins' prayed for him to tho listening Godot tho orphan, of her parents, and of him, her second lather. Then she fled to the village lor assistance, anu, after tho funeral which lollowcü, she took up her abodo in the houso of her music teacher, Mrs. Coverly, tho second friend raised up to her by Providence, But though sho could not bear to wunder by tho cottage more, iho se:nes around it were long vivid in her faithful memory, and many a solitary hour of weciiini: evinced the fidelity of the orphan a soul to the poor fisherman who had j icserved her Irom ucatii, ano pro tectcd and mado happy her young and youthful years. "It was he who tuld mo to learn to sing; who told metiiut mj' parent sang so sweetly, and who mado mo havo tho wish to be like them in that. UU, when

Fivo years flow by sinco tho death of the fiMicrn an, und hisnumowii eumlom or never mentioned, save by tho lips ol her in w hoso-guitlo heart his virtues nnd service were enshrined: nnd he had expanded into tho rosy dawn of vo luptimu worn inhood, and with ner per iiinl jrrnce her nccomplinh merits had kept puce, so, atthisuge, sho was known us thu sweetest songstress in tho country tor many u miiu around. Under tho tintioa, and in tho society of Mrs. Oovcrry, Ainj Jordainohad profited surpriiily, und sho now became n popular teacher herself. And it was not music alone that sho had learned lo teach, but, quite without effort on her part, sho had tuuglit many of tho oppo site a well mother own sex to admire and to love her. Still there were low, if any, heart-burnings upon that score; for, while amiable to all, she evinced partiality to nono. Tho melancholy beauty guvo no thoughts to love, but svemc-d passionately wrapt in devotion to tho music, of which sho was continually becoming u more accomplished votary, mid which she worshipped as it sho thought each noto was a tone from the spirits of bur lost parents. "W o uro lo havo u reut concert In tho city, dear Amy," caid Mn. Coverly, ono evening to her, "and I have been asked by ono of the comruittco ii you could bo prevailed unon to assist upon tho rccusion. They havo heard of you, and earnestly desiro it, und I said I would ad I tiiy request to theirs." "I havo i.ever sung at a concert," roplied Amy, modestly, "and I iwn alraid l should bo frightened and disappoint them." "Hut I btfliovo you would eclipse tho best ot them," rejoined her friend, "and, beside, tho objoct is charitable it i lor tho benclit of orphan children." "Ilten I Uo consent! instuntly ex claimed Amy, with her beautiful eyes sutl'uscd by tho unbidden tears of sad sympathy;, "lor, 1 am ulasl an orphan, and it God has been good enough to grant mo tho warmest wish of mv heart,! l should boa poor, cold-hearted morale lo refuse to do what I can, however little, for my fellow -creature who aro orpotins too. I will sing, and try not to led ditlldent before a city undicrco." it wus, therefore, Bellied that sho was to appear ut iho concert, and, at her re quest, she was announced for it song tin der the assumed nun.e of Cora Poster. Thu evening came, and ihe assembly was immense. Il was ono of glittering hishion and beauty, and many well known ariir-ts names ligured in the programme with lhalof the unknown country girl, Cora Foster. ftoino ol her history hud, however, been gathered by tho "knowing ones" among the audience, and when her tim id and unless beauty maJe her appear ance on the stage, her reception wus of an unusually cordial character. She bowed her acknowledgement with a simple grace; which added to the charms of nur appearance, and when sho sat ul Iho piano foi'lhe iirst tune before a host ot critic, her fluttering heart told her that, thus far, everything wus in her luvur. At that moment she felt inspired. A vision ot her lather and mother came lo her there, uud sho thought, too, ol the poor sailor who had heard litem siii'' and ol Hi J long chenshed wish ol a. t her heart, that alio might sometime be ublo to please those who had loved mu sic us her parents hud done. Tho hour was now here, unit who remembered alio wu to sing for orphuns like herself; and with unwonted courage, which sur prised her, she burst forth into tho sou she had hciselt nelct.-led; tho plaimive and eiichuuliug melody of Moore, "Hus sorrow th) young days shaded; 1 eai uliwt peal ol lervent us well as critical applause followed her rendi tion ol each stanza; and, aller tho re ception which was insisted upon by the whole cnlliusiustic audience, sho passed in triumph like a queenly vision Irom their sight. The electrical effect she had produced was visible throughout tho buzzing assembly, and particularly in the faces and word ot u party ol auditors, whose emotion attracted tho notice of ail in their vicinity. Ono of this party was a gentlemun, something past the prime of lifo, another was his wile and two children, a young lud and miss, sat by I.. . i-. -.t their side, anxiously wuicniiig tueir parents words und looks. Thu father's face was palo as marble, as ho beul towards his weeping wifoand said: "Mary, I never saw on earth a face ami figure so much resembling your when wo were first married and that voice, O, God! it carries mo buck lo thoso bleared day wnen our first-born prattled to us whilo wo sang ourselves. We must seo her. "Wo must tell her what ait impression sho has mado upon us." Tho wife was unablo to reply. Her voico was smothered by tho intensity ot her feelings at the thought of what that lost littlo ono might huvo been, had bhe been spared to them. Tho concert was soon over, and pressing toward the apartment whero tho artist remained, the lamily soon fou id Ihe object of their interest, receiving the congratulations of many. W ithout wailing for an introduction, both husband and wife received the hand of Amy, nnd hurriedly made known tho doublo interest with which she had inspired Ihem, and finally, when they made allusion to ihe shipwreck of a a m, a the Curlew tweivo years helot e, ana the loss of their only child Amy Jordaine; tho heroine of tho evening, with quiv

ering, but dumb lips, nnd staring eyes, and death-pulo fuco, fell insensible into

her fathers arms. "Sho is your daughter," exclaimed Mrs. Coverly, who had heard all.

Congrcsilonal. Washington, Jan. 13. ß en ate. -The Sonato is not In session. having yesterday ndjouned oter till -uontlay. Iloustc Mr. Smith, of Va., said thcro were two propositions in tho resolution of Mr. Clurk, of. Mo. The first was that tho doctrines of Helper's book aro insurreetionary and hostile to tho pouce of the con airy, and was not this truo to tho very -tterf Ho uskod tho question. i no next, wan inai no member ol this Ifotiao, who endorsod and recommended the doctrines uid sentiments therein affirmed is lit to bo Snoakor of thin Houso, Whs not this also true? He wanted an answer. Mr. liiiitfhnm, of Ohio, wUhod only to say to iho ircnllcmcn of tho House and of tho country that when tho geniiumsn oonounccs that book without limitation ns an incendiary production, ho denounces tho hist will nnd tostume.nl of Washington, a copy of which is contained in that book. The resolution denounces tho declarntion of tho Convention of Virginia ot 1 IS......... .1 . .. 'tu, instructing mo Congress at I'liiladolphin In thut year. The resolution denounces all tho truthful word of thut (liHinguished Governor of Virginia (McDowell,) namely. " i ou make the yoko of your slave to labor Jiko an o.t; you may compel him to live to work, and work to live, r-rid yet the idea thut bo was created freo will abido with him. because ho has the right to tho hci.o oi immortality." 1 ho resolution denounces tho living sentiments of Jefferson, copied from his own Motesof Virginia, namely "I trem ble lor my country, when 1 reflect that (J od is just, und ha no atlrbulo to tuKu sides against tho slaes for their rights ami liberties." Tho gentleman from Virginia should also rcmumbcr that tho denrnciation in tho resolution is u denunciation of thu word of the Continental Congress when about entering on tho soven years' war, wherein it was said in tho articles of association by the members thcro f. that they held every man or communi ty of men ns cneniic of Amercnn lib erty, who wcro not opposed to tho traffic in slaves. Tho resolutions also de nounces that part of tho Declaration ot Independence, which holds these truths to bo self-evident, that ull men aro croaled equal, ondowed by their creator with rights, among which aro lilo, lib erty and tho pursuit ofhappinos, ic, und that when any form of government become dest-uetivo ol thoso ends, the right of tho people to alter or nbolsh it. 1 he word "ubolioh is embodied in this memorable declaration which your flo Mr. Smith) father nnd mine fought the s'.orm und darkness ol a seven years war. Mr. Smith replied that ho hoped tho House understoood that tho member from Ohio endorsed the Helper book. -Mr. Jtinghum I nsk tho gentleman whether he repudiates those sentiments? Mr Smith That is not Ihe question. Mr. Bingham It is not eh? Mr. Smith I wish tho Houso nnd country to understand that ho ci dorses tho bonk, and for thu ho deserve the detestation and scorn of every man who forms a part of the American Un ion. Mr. Smith pointed lo various clauses to show tho slavery compromises there in, and said: by docs not tho gentleman respond?" Mr. Uinghum "I want tho gcntloman to know 1 am not his shivo." Mr. Sir ith "No, if you wcro, you would do better than you do now. You would get what you need. (Laughter.) Mr. liinghain "Will you let mo an swer in my own manner, or will you di rect me what to say. Mr. SmitU "I direct you totukoyour scat." Mr. Bingham--"! regret tho gentleman is so ill-mannered. Tho subject then dropped. Mr. Stevens roso to a personal explanation, and sent a paper to havo nn extract read. Tho clerk glanced his eyo over it and put it down. It turned out to bo u German newspaper. Mr. Stevens retired, amidst hearty laughter, to a distant part of tho Hall. liXplanations wcro mado, from which it appeared that tho note passed from Mr. Conklin to Mr. Unrksdulo, at tho session of Wednesday, was merely an envelope containing a bit of court-plaster. Hero tho debato followed on tho Speakership. Mr. Pennington offered a plurality resolution, that the Houso now proceed to a voto, and if thero bo no election, then, on Monday next an eloetion should bo mudo from tho two highest on tbo vole. Mossrs. H:rksdalc, Clark of Missouri. Leake and others objected. Mr. Washburne, of Maine, suggestod that Mr. Pennington should movo tho previous question. Mr. Leake contended that tho resolution wa only read for information. Mr. Stanton suggested that Mr. Leake could not tnako hi point of order until Mr. Pennington yielded tho floor.
