Ami the two men window of a printpaused before the seller. The picture which had called forth from one of the men this admiring exclamation, was a showy bit of landscape, painted for effect, and well calculated to deceive the practiced eye. - I must inquire the price, said the speaker, whose name was Goodwy t, and be drew Ins companion luio me store. 'What do you ask for u;at landscape in the window ?' Fifty dollars,' replied the picture sel ler, and it is worth a hundred. But the owner wants money, and mast, sell, even at so great a sacrifice. Who is the artist r A name not familiar to either of the men was given. But as tney were onty posted up in art news indiflerently well, and did no, care to make their ignorance known, no further; question was asked. The name was accepted as belonging to an artist of eelebrity. I mast have that picture, Martin. It is a gem.' 'We have av companion piece by the same artist. said the picture seller, whose ears, all on the alert, had overtteara u remark." - j 'Indeed t Let as see the two together ? The paintings were placed side by aide .... ... ., . Charming beautiful ! exquisite " were the exclamations ' with which the exhibition was greeted- . : ; I will take one of them, said Goodwynv'andyoa tbe other,' looking towards hU friend Martin. I don't know about that,' answered the latter. The pictures are very tempting. C But I an not sure I can spare fifty dollar to-day for an article of simple luxury. ." : " ,: 'They are as cheap as dirt, said Goodwyn. 'Better take one. You'll not have another chance like this soon. , But Martin hesitated, , debating the money question involved, and finally decided to let the companion piece remain where it was for the present. Goodwyn paid down the fitly dollars, and ordered the picture sent home. i The two men left the picture dealer's and walked on, Goodwyn elated with his purchase, ami Martin well satisfied at baring successfully resisted the tempta ttoo te spend the ran of fifty dollar ibr a painting, when he had otner use for his moner.

'I love pictures, was answered. They are to me a source of unalloyed pleasare. But my income is yet too limited to permit an indulgence o' this taste. The common wants of life, and the charities which may not be disregarded, keep me without a surplus to expend in the merely ornamental.' I'm no better off than you are, said Goodwyn. 'But a portion of my ineome mast go in the direction of beauty and ornament. - Bare walls are my abhorrence ".I.-:. ..V. ;.. .' At this moment a cry of warning reached the ears of tbe two men, and, looking forward along the street, they saw a horse attached to an empty wagon, dashing toward them at a frightful speed. A little way. in advance stood a cart, backed up to the pavement Before the owner of this, an Irishman, bad time to turn his horse, the runaway was upon him, and one of the shafts striking his poor beast on the head, killed him on the spot. ' -i ' Too r fellow !' said Martin, in a tone of pity, as he heard the Irishman bewail his loss. Come,' said Goodwyn, drawing upon the arm of his friend. 'It's a mercy for the poor, half-starved beast But Martin stood still and began to ask the Irishman questions. His looks corroborating his words, satisfied him that the loss he had just met was the loss of means for getting bread for his children. The poor man was in deep distress. I can't wait here,' Goodwyn spoke with some impatience. : 'Come, or I shall leave you. That picture will be home before I get there. Go on then. I must look a little further into this case,' said Martin quite in earnest Humph ! You'll have vour hands full, if vou stor to look into every case of the kind.' Goodwyn spoke a little contemptuously, and then went forward. " 'Ah, Martin!' said he, as the lat'.er entered his store about two hoars after ard, 'how comes on your Irishman and his dead horse ?' There was an amused expression on his face. ' 'Bad euough at present, was answered. Poor fellow! The death of his horse is to him indeed a calamity ; like the burn ing of a mechanic's-shop - with all his tools, or the siuking of a merchant's ship wherein was all his fortune. - But I think we can put him ail right with tbe world, and at a very small cost to ourselves. I propose that five individuals contribute ten dollars each, and buy him another horse. Here's the list; I have put down my name, tnd Gregg has fol lowed suit. " You will make the third, and I know who to calculate on for the fourth and fifth subscriptions. Martin only partly unfolded his sub scription paper, for a strong negative came into the face of Goodwyn. I m too poor to make ten dollar sub scriptions for the purchase of cart horses for beggarly Irishmen,' he answered. If I once undertook tbe business, I would soon have my hands full. Take my advice and keep your money, your time, and your pleasant feelings, aud lou't waste either in the thankless task of collecting money to pay for dead horses. But Martin, though disappointed, was not turned from his good purpose. He succeeded in getting thirty-five dollars subscribed, and then adding fifteen from his own parse, he went to the humble abode of the poor Irishman, whom he found half stupid with despondency, amid his wife and children. 'Come, come, Jimmy Maguire ! he said cheerfully, . 'this will never do. Brighten up, man !V . There's no brightening up for me. yer honor,' replied Jimmy sadly. 'Poor Barney is kilt dead,' and he drew his hand across his eyes. The cart's of no use now, and if I was to die for it, I couldn't find money enough to buy ane-ther horse. Och! yer honor, and what is to become of us all. The picture that Martiu looked upon in that humblest abode, lay all in a dark shadow. There was cot upon it a single gleam of sunshine. What did Barney cost?' . I paid thirty-five dollars for him, hardearned money, and he was cheap at that, yer honor.' Find another horse as good, or even a little better than Barney, and I will buy him for you, Jimmy. Some kind gentlemen have placet! money in my hands for that purpose ' Broad flashes of sunlight fell intantly on the living picture, which lay a moment before in deepest shadow. 'Oca, sir! is it indade as you sav?' Jimmy caught at the urm of Mr. Martin and looked into his face almost wildiy. 'Just as I sav, Jimrav. Find the horse i and I will buy him for you.' t w-a . a a a From the valley of grief and despair to the mountain-top cf Joy. the Irishman's household passed, as by a single stride. They overwhelmed their bene factor with noisy gratitude, and placed him at once high in the calendar of saint. . That evening Mr. Goodwyn sat alone in his parlor. The picture was on the wall, but his eyes were already more than half satisfied with its beauty and ceased to turn themselves toward it for pleasure. A friend had been invited home at tea-time to look at his picture He had an artist's eye and knew a good . .. . i j , Tr . .... .!. painting irom a usu uar. . tJ mui tuuattri for Mr. Goodwyn, be detected glaring faults in the landscape, aad did not hesi tate to pronounce it a fourth rate affair, and dear at the price which he had paid. Mr. Goodwyn was unhappy. 1 On the same evening, sat Martin alone, gazing at a picture, the sight" of which rave him inexnressible pleasure. It was not hanging upon' the parlor walls, inclosed in gilded frame, bat grouped in his thoughts, and vivid as life itself, i We need not describe this picture. The reader knows that it, represented the (KKr Irishman and kit flighted famUj.

m Imagination bad painted it in richest colorings, and memory was enshrining it in perennial beauty. There was no power in time to rob that picture of its charming freshness. , Its possession could not bring a reproving thought, no critic was skilled enough in art to find a defect, and thus lessen the owner's appreciation. It was worth a thousand each pictures as the one his friend had already ceased to value. ' ,...!:.;, The lesson, reader, is for us all. If we were as ready to hang the chambers of our minds with beautiful pictures, as we are the walls of oar houses, what pleasures would we lay up in store for the time to come. As we grow older, we insensibly fall into the habit of look ing inward. We see more with the eyes of the soul oftener gaze upon the pictures thaw cluster on memory's walla, than upon those which hang upon the walls of our dwellings. O, let us then give beauty and happiness to the future by daily acta of kindness by tender charities by deeds of human love. These all group themselves into pictures, upon which, as years glide away, and the eyes look more inward, we shall gaze with purest delight; for time cannot deface them, neither can familiarity rob them of a living interest. And these are tbe pictures which are not left hanging upon walls that shall know his presence no more, when a man lays down his natural life. He takes them with him, as betakes the precious silver of divine truth, and they will help to make beautiful the mansion prepared for him above. Good deeds are the stepping stones to heaven. T. S. Arthur. The Yankee. A highly imaginative transatlantic geographer has lately informed the world that America is, or shortly will be, a "country bounded on the north bj the artic eircle, on the south by eternity, on the east be the rising sun, and on the west by the day of judgment. There are a set of bitter and bilious gentlemen, chiefly of the Tory persuasion, to whom this kind of patriotic imagery is gall and wormwood. They are miserable because America is big, and because she uses these laughably big expressions. The real reason why they hate her is because her Government is so free, and the success of it so wonderful ; but since it does not do to confess these facts, they are always girding at her faults of manner and style a practice which is about as useful as to rail at the Alleghany mountains for beinjr huge and craggy. For our part we . experience . no more surprise or vexation at the hyperbohes of our descendants beyond the Atlantic than we should at seeing a likely lad split his trowsers in growing, or a fine, healthy baby reach bis plump arms out for the moon . The thing is natural, and even satisfactory with the young giant that we have bred ; and England, the mother of empires, ought to be heartily pleased and amused at the glorious gasconades of her mighty child. Is she to be an elderly coquette and rex herself because her"sons outstride her, and her daughters shoot ap with a beauty and vigor that remind her how she ages? She ought if she were honesrand hearty, to be glad of youngsters--tbe like of whom history never knew to knit them to herself in bonds of firm love, and aim at making out of them an Anglo Saxon family of empires which should girdle the world with the language of Shakspeare and the happy influence of the little matron island ! We like to read these ridiculous sublimities, wherein onr imperial cockerels crow themselves wellnigh off their legs with lustiness round the old Brittanic hen. ; What a bird the American chicken will be when all the feathers come, if it can scratch and crow and flourish its spurs like this in an epoch wiien it is but go ing through lue Dai Dansm oi a new civilization, and has the best part of its hackles to shoot. And if bigness justifies big words, we should like to know who is to blame these inventive and flowery patriots ? Ha any other nation forty million square acres of fat corn ground for a back yard, which will grow six quarters to the acre as long as you like to plow the old crop in ? Has anj- other nation a mountain ot solid iron to make the plows of, like Pilot Knob, in Missouri, or seas of oil under the ground, and shores of solid copper along the lakes ? Does any otber nation double its population every twenty j-ears and suck in the emigration of Europe with out counting it; or carry cargoes two i thousand miles along the river; or ven ture on the impudence of a Monroe doctrine, or fight a war with one million soldiers and have them ail home again, like boys after school, -within a year ? Or what other people collects a revenne of 118,000,000 sterling, and with 20,000,000 in gold at a time in its exchequer, laughs at a debt of 500,000,000, , and engages to wipe it out in ten years? Mr Artemus Ward says he never knew a Yankee who didn't talk about the Rocky mountains except one, and he was deaf and dumb; but even be wrote a book about them. - Who is stupid enough to laugh at that? It is in the nature of the people ; the yonng giants mast have gigantic topic, word, policies, schemes, and sayings, and if we laugh, let it be with hearty good nature," aad as old folk do at the brag and buncombe of the young ones, whose strength and health are so beautiful and full of the promise of noble days and work.

APRIL 4, -1867. RECONSTRUCTION. Sax ate, Tnesday, March 12, 1867. Mr. Mortoji. I move to take from the table the resolutions of the Senator from Massachusetts, which were yesterday laid on the table by a vote'of the Senate. The motion was agreed to; and the Senate resumed the consideration of the following resolutions, submitted by Mr. Sumner on the 7th instant: Resolation declaring certain further guarantees required in the reconstruction of the rebel States. . , 1. Retolved, That Congress, in declaring by positive legislation that it possesses paramount authority over the rebel States, and in prescribing that no person therein shall be excluded from the elec tive franchise by reason of race, color, or previous condition, has begun the work of reconstruction, and has set an example to itself. 2. Retolved t That there are othe. things remaining to be done, which are as clearly within the power of Congress as the elective franchise, and it is the duty of Congress to see that these things are not left undone. 3. Resolved, That among the things remaining to be done are the fire following: Firtt, The existing governments, which have been declared to be, illegal, must be vacated, so that they can have no aeeuc.v in the work of reconstruction, and will cease to exercise a pernicious influence. Secondly, Provisional governments must be constituted as temporary substitutes for the illegal governments, with special authority to superintend the tran sition to permanent governments, republican in form. Thirdly, As loyalty, beyond suspicion, must be the basis of permanent govern meats, republican in form, every possible precaution must be adopted against rebel agency or influence in the formation of these governments. fourthly. As the education of tbe people is essential to the national welfare, and especially to the development of those principles of justice and morality which constitute the foundation of re public government, and as, according to tbe census, an immense proportion of the people in the rebel States, without distinction to color, cannot read and write, therefore public schools must bs established for the equal good of all. Fifthly, Not less important than edu cation is the homestead, which must be secured to the freed men, so that at least every head of a family may have a piece of land. A. Retolved, That all these requirements are in the nature of guarantees to be exacted by Congress, without which the United States will not obtain that security for the future which is essential to a just reconstruction. 'Mr. MoRTOK. Mr. President, I voted yesterday, against laying those resolutions on the table, because I was unwilling to terminate the debate at that time, and because there is one proposition contained in them of vital imporporlance. I dissent entirely from the argument made by several Senators ye?terday, that the act which was passed a few days ago is to be regarded in the nature of a pledge, and that we cannot now alter or amend it without a breach of faith. The House of Representatives, I understand, has already passed a bill, which will be here for consideration in a day or two, proposing to per feet that measure in several respects ; but independent of that the offer, as it is called, has not yet been accepted by any of the Southern States, it has not been acted upon by them, no rights have vested under it. ' It cannot be regarded in tbe nature of a contract, because that takes two parties, one to propose and the other to accept. Consequent!' it is entirelj- competent for Con gress to alter, amend, modify, or even repeal that bill without dishonor or breach of faith. . While there is much in the resolutions oifered by the Senator from Massachusetts that I cannot approve, I desire to say that I do approve most fully what they say upon the subject of the necessity of providing for the education of the people of the late rebel States, I think that is of vital importance, not only to them, but to the whole country, and that we of the North are as much interested in it as they of the South. They are to be our assistant law makers, to join with us in electing Senators. Representatives, Vice Presidents, and Presidents, and we are to be effected by their competency or incompetency to exercise the right of suffrage. The bill which we have passed will probably bring to the polls in the late rebl States not less than seven hundred taousand new voters, of whom but a small proportion can read and write ; and ot the white people of the South it is well known that a large portion cannot read or write. When you add to the number of, whites who cannot read or write the whole number of colored people who cannot read and write, you will find that both classes in that category will probably constitute a full half, if not more, of all. the voters ia the rebel States under the late act of Congress. Sir, the opposition which has existed in the North to' conferring the right of suffrage upon tbvfreedmen of tbe South, baa arisen more from the consideration of their ignorance, their want of education, than from any prejudice on the subject of color. I think I speak advisedly on that subject Of the people in the Sooth who can read and write, of the educated classes, an overwhelming majority have been rebels, and are now rebels in feeling and sympathy. Not only are they rebels, bat the educated classes own and hold nearly all the prop erty, and they control these new State governments. Intelligence has always prevailed against numbers, and always will ; and legislate as yon may the present ' educated ' elaases of the people of the South will control the new State gorernmeata, and they will continue to do so until yon . edncate all the other

1IVO. 6. : tets. classes of the Southern people. If yon : expect to take these new organisations out of the hands of the rebel classes of the South, it mast be done by educating all the other people there. It is well known that large namber of Sonthem men, especially those who hare been slaveholders, have been In favor of colored suffrage for months past 'They have been in favor of it upon the ground that their late slave are ignorant and that they can control them. That they will be able to do this to a large extent we cannot deny, 'and the only war in which we can take the control of the colored people of the Sooth oat of the hands of their late masters is by educating them. ' " The Constitution requires that the United States shall guaranty to every State in this Union a republican form of government .' Sir, that guarantee cannot be executed in the Southern States unless the peoalc of these States re edncated. We cannot maintain nd exe-5 cute that guarantee where one half or lour seveHths or all the voters can neither read nor write. It is of the very es- 1 6ence of reconstruction that these people shall be educated. We cannot exnect ' successfully to carry oo loyal State governments in the South and to reconstruct ; society upon a permanent basis of loyalty unless there shall be a system of common schools established open and free to all, without distinction of race or ? color. It has been said by several Senators; with whom I hsve conversed that we: must leave this matter to tbe people of the several States. Why, sir, it has al-' ways been to the interest of the people of the South that they should educate the poor whites, but they have not done it The leading 1 asses "kept them in ignorance because they could thereby the more readily control them, and the educated classes of the Sout'i will now refuse to establish voluntarily a system of common schools, especially when they hold the property, and the taxes neces sary to oe raised lor tbftt purpose most be collected off their property. They will never do it unless they are coerced to it by the terms of reconstruction Sir, we cannot reasonably expect, we have no- right to expect that these men will come forward voluctarily and establish a system of common schools tn be supported by taxation, when the rebel educated classes hold the property and will have to pay the taxes. - - ; It has been said by one or two Senators with whom I have conversed on this subject that it will, ' be time enough to raise this question when these States eome here with their constitutions. I say, sir, not so. Let us lay down all the conditions that we expect to demand ; let us now prescribe all tbe terms which w expect them to comply with in their constitutions. It will not do when they come here to say to them, Your constitutions are not complete, because they contain no provision upon the subject of education." That will require them to go back to the people, and will involve tbe calling of new conventions. That might perhaps, be properly regarded, as a breach of faith. Let us now prescribe all the conditions that we mean to require them to comply with. If we intend to require them to insert a provision in their State constitutions making it obligatory upon their Legislatures to establish a system of common schools, open and free to all, without regard to race or color, now is the time to prescribe it and not when they have formed their constitutions, and come here and ask their acceptance and for an admission of representation under them. Now, sir, have we not a perfect right to make this requirement of them? If we have a right to require that they shall establish universal suffrage in their constitutions, we have an equal right to require them to make some provision to qualify men to exercise the right of suf frage. The education of the people is essential to the execution of the guarantee that we shall secure to each Stat a repulican form of government; it is indispensable to the success of republican form of government; and we cannot hope for successful reconstruction except upon the basis of making provision for the speedy education of all the people of the South. We cannot leave this to the gradual progress of events. We have brought to the polls by the late act of Congress some seven hundred thousand men who but three or four , years ago were slaves, most of them plantation slave?, but very few of whom cao read and write. Tbe condition of the country has made it necessary that they should be suddenly brought to the polls, and wiuioui previous preperalion by education ; and now that it is done, it is matter of the first importance to the people of this country that we make positive provision for the education of these men. It is due to them and it is also due to our own people that this should be done. We cannot afford to trust to chance upon so important a point I therefore deem that part of the resolutions of the Senator from Massachusetts as of vital importance, and if it is competent for as to pass a supplementary bill to perfect the reconstruction bill passed but a few days ago, it is competent for as to put into that bill thia proposition contained in the resolutions of the Senator from Massachusetts. The importance of it cannot for one moment be overestimated. Something was said in the discussion of yesterday with regard to the status of the rebel States. .1 do not know that it is pertinent to this discussion to argue that question. 1 can ooly asy tliat, on that point I have always differed from the Senator from Massachusetts ; I have always believed that these rebel States were States in the Union, bat with illegal and unauthorized governments, and I have never seen any necessity for what is called the territorial theory. Congress from the first has had, under the Constitution, all the powers necessary for the work of reconstruction, without treating these States a conquered provinces and aa , having been reduced to

The Austrian Goreminent has seen the hopelessness of Its efforts to coerce the Magyars into a submission to its centralising policy,! and, finding it dangerous to adjourn the reconciliation with Hungary still longer. , has with great reluctance granted all the demands which for nearly twentr years it has persistently refused. The old con-' stitution of Hungary has been restored and a special ministry been appointed for the countries subject to the Hungarian crown. .The people of Hungary have of course received this news with the wildest enthusiasm, and from being , the most determined opponent of the ; Vienna Government thev hsva . for ti present assumed the relations ef devoted ? supKrters. . : The conciliation with Hungary rids the Austrian Government of tlm obstacles which its . endeavor to rennn.

Each of these halves of tho empire is to have a spetial Central Diet. In that of Hunigary, as it is at present composed, the Magyars have complete control, although they constitute only a minority of the ; aggregate population, while in tbe other 'half the Germans expect io be able to FpVeponderate.

It ha at tbe same time notified the Croatian that they most respect their historical connection with tbe Hungarian Crown, and come to an understanding with the Magyars.
