1 be the one who stfiod highest in her affections. The reflection stimulated me to exert every effort, and 1 verily believe, to this day, that I could have carried Donald and Helen on cither arm like feathers. But I must not anticipate. - We suffered all the rest of the party to passqnietly along, and thjm returned to the ford. I lifted Helen with the utmost caro, and carried her like an infant to the middle of the water. Jealousy had inspired a warmer love, and it was with feelings unknown before; that ! cmbra*:cd her lovely form, axid felt the pressure of her cheek against mine. All went swimmingly, or rather, wadingly, for a minute. But, alas, in the deepest part of the ford, I trod on a treacherous pieco of wood, which tested; I suppose; ou» smoothstonc. Over I rolled, bearing Helen with -me; nor did wo rise until thorougly soaked from head to foot.

jtTT The notorious frauds perpetrated' iu Pennsylvania at the October and No-* vember elections, have caused tbe agita- ’ tiou of the Bubjcct of o Registrary Law in that Slate, for the preservation, so far as possible, of the purity of the ballot box. A bill providing for a General Registry Law has been introduced in the Senate, by which it is made the duty of Assessors to make a complete list of nil . the voters in their respective, wards or, districts, entering them in a book with ‘ the place Of residence opposite.SO days j before every general election. -Twenty-! five days before any general election a ■ certified copy ofthis llht thall be furnish-; ed to the inspectors of election, o*J no' person shall be permitted to vole whose, name is not contained on said list, the oflims being required to regard such, omirioos as conclusive evidence that thej person so omitted was not residing; within the precinct, thirty days before thoj election, -except in case of minors art!-' viug at their majority within.that period, t This shall not Supercede the right to dial*; Icnge, which shall bo-exercised as here- ■ to fore. The Assessor shall, on tho ten- i der of one cent for caclr name, ftiriiiShj a copy of said Register. - The remaining; sections of tins bill imposes penalties; upon Assessors refusing to comply with its provisions, and provides for their ; compensation. : V Wo need just such a law in.

That as for those who regulate the laws and institution! of .otter Stales, we will concede to' them the same sovereignty and independence which, we claim' lor ourselves., Nor do we stop here. IT our follow citizens desire to go beyond the limits of tho.Ststcs and make their homos within the territories (purchased by the blood and* treasure of all,} wo say they go shorn of none of their sovereign rights which they -possessed as citizens of the State, but fully authorized to regulate their domestic affairs in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of (he United States. At tho time the federal Union was formed, all thought as wo now do. They believed that it was safe to permit the peopio.-pf each State to regalata their local institutions In their own way; aud .that patriotism and Christian duly demanded that they should protect them in their rights as theywere go a ran* tied by the letter and spirit of the Constitution whiclimado that Union. But duringtrie last canvass, from tho. press, the rostrum, and the pulpit, the proclamation was made thkt the citizens of some of (ha States wera '< violating the laws of God and injuring the cattso.of human freedom by holding a kind of property, which, when the war of (he Itdvblutibn began, Jiftd a legal existence in every portion of the vast cm jure which now recognises as stipremo law ilia Constitution of the U-: nited Slates —that if was our duty to disregard the plighted faith qUour fathers, and trample tinder our feci the agreement they, had made, rather than see the confttitutionnl righls of property maintained; anil moreover, that if was our duty to elect a President of (he United States, with a .Congress to .sustain him,, who maintained that when an American citizen crowed the boundary of the Stale and cii; terod the territory,* he should be no longer a freeman, possessed of the inalienable rights of life;-liberty,’andThe pursuit of banpincsB, but reduced to tho condition of colonial .vassalage—that no' new State should .bo added to this confederacy unless her citizens made her laws, not in accordance witli their own will; bnt In obedience to the tyraanical dictation of the citizens of the old.. , >•
1 need not describe tire trftpts of Don* aid, or lire more accusing silence of Helen.

As we approached. the house, Helen,-feeling more dry, and belter humored, attempted to conciliate mo. But I piesei ved a moody silence.. I was mortified beyond redress.
When the spirits who await me, Meet me at my entering in, With what name of lore ami music Will theit welcome beginf Hot the one so dimmed with eailli-sUiiis, Linked with thought of grief and blame, No, the name Aba! mortals gave me; Will not be my angel name!

Eureka! I've hit on it now! It seems a proper place to submit it to (lie “Woman's Eights Convention," and get Mrs. Lucy Slono or some of (he famous ones, to advocate the measure. - But to give (ho subject point before such a body, ! presume wo ought to have a Vigilance Committee of about th!rty>one members to see tho new measure carried out in all tlio States.

Well do I remember bow and when the. "green eyed” perpetrated this incendiary, r&ed. it was on a cold October evening, tiv&en Helen, Donald and myself were returning from a neighboring hamlet. As w« approached a ford, where the water ;i-ao somewhat higher than ankle deep, we prepared to carry Helen across, os wc were accustomed to do, with hands interwoven, "chair fashion," and thus carried ■onr pretty passenger over the brook.— ■Just aSjjve were in the middle of the waco!d.,enougU,at.tbatUrae do We frozen anything like feeling onl of, Jjojrs less hardy;than, oursfilyes—a faint mang of jealousy nipped my heart.' ' Why ft was 1. knew not, for we bail carried Helen fifty timek across the brook ere now; without emotion, bat ■ this efroning, I thought prfancied that, Helen t giye Donald an undue preference, by casting Ler pretty arm around his neck, while she steadied herself on my side by holding .tW cuff of my jacket. • No flame can burn so quickly, or with eo little fuel as jealousy. Before we had reached tho opposite bank, 1 was wishing Donald at the bottom of the sea. Being naturally impetuous, I burst out with—"Ye need na hand sac gingerly, Helen, ai if 70 feared a fa*; I caU carry yft lighter than Donald con halt of ye." Surprised at the vehemence of my tone, oor queen interposed, with an admission that we were both strong, and t that she • bad no,idea of sparing my powers. But Donald's iro was kindled, and he utterly denied that I was at all qualified to compete with him in feats of carriage. On aueb'topies, boys are generally emulous, .and by the time we reached tha opposite bank/-it was settled that the point should be determined by our singly bearing Hel4n across the ford in our arms.
