Mr. cur ss AMiHastes. In 1830 Mr. Clay prepared a speech o*i* abolitionism, and read it to a frleod before its delivery In tha Senate. That friends suggested to hitn fbat vhiht he fiiBy spproved bis sentiment*, he doubled the polt-i cy of dehvering it, in view of hie prospects for the Presidency. Mr. Clay's reply did him immonti honor. Ha said, woaldsrather iM right thatt ba Praeident I ahalfedeliver the tpeecb He did deliver if, at.d ft will always stsod among the proude#H« moooments of ble eloquence, peufoiwrn andlo devotion to the Union. With the ssgsertyawhich was his prominent characterUtic, be«d foreeaw thst the design* of tha abolition movement looked to tha formation of twosgreat parties, which shoo Id be purely sec-»« tionsl and geogrspbfeal—tba North agaiastrs tba 8ottth and the South against the Nortb ft 8oeh a result (aad be it remembered tbet{e this was tha design of tha abolition leaderah. in-their oppoeitioa to tha Nebraska bill) Mr s, Clay foresaw muss dissolve the Union. We to recur to his speech now for tha purpose afa* extracting that portion of it wbioh deecribee t. the daagere af aaah a sections! orgsniza ttoo of partiss, aa peculiarly appropriate to be studisd at the r»rcsent time. Mr, Clay ,& tei f*r. mvumm-

Tha' aboHtioni^fsrist m* si(i^fs#. ceed io their present aim of uniting ihe inhabitants of tba. &aa3utes. Union on the one side will begat union on tha other. And this process of reciprocel conaolidation will he attended with all the violent prejudice*, embittered passions and implacable animoa itiee, whioiv over degraded or deformed hu* nssr ^istura. A mutual dissolution of the Unvift will have tsksn plsce. while the forms of its existence remain. 1Te most valuable clamant of union, mutusl kindness, the feaiiiigs ?f sympstby, the frsternal bond* which now h*r.oi,yunile

extinguiahed. One ««ction will stsnd in menscing and hostitO affsy against the oihsr. The oolUaion of sopio^ "Ul be quickly followed by the clash ,01" prmi. will not attempt to describe scenes which now lie concealed from our view. A bolltiooists ihstosslves wouhl shriek back in diem ay and horror at tha contemplation of desolated fields, conflagrsted oliiee, murdered inhabitants, and tha overthrow of tha fairest fabrio af human government that ever rose 10 talmata tha hopes of civilised men. Nor should these abolitionists flsttfeir themislves thst if they csn succeed in their objeei of uniting tha free States, they will enter the oonteat with a numerical auparlor' ity that must insure victory.

AU history and experience prove tha baa ard and uncerteinty of war. And are are admonished by Holy Writ that the raoa Is not to the swift, nor tha battle to the strong But if they were to conquer, whom would they conquer 1 A foreign toe, who bad in* suited our flsg, invaded our shores, and Isid our country wests Mo, sir *no, sir. It would be a haasrd without laurels, with* out glory a self, a suicidal oonqusat a conquest of brotbere over brothers, achieved by-One portion over another portion of the deecendants of common ancettors, who, nobly pledging their livee, their fortunee and their stored honor, had fought and bled side by side in many a hard battle, on land and ocean, ssvsred our oountry from the British orown, and eatabiitbed our national independence.

Among the literary curiosities of tha day Is Mr. Bart let t's account of his exploring expedition while Comminsioner of the Boaa dsry under the treaty of Qaudalupe Hidelgo. The work is handsomely embellished with drswings snd sketches made at the expense of the Unitsd Ststss, snd with a graat many interesting accocTit* of excursion* made at the aame expense, render the work piquant. The actual amonat af money •xpandatl under Mr. Bartlett, as Commissioner of tha Boundary Line is fSST.OOO, #5.000, or thereabout! of which were ex« paadad aa linear surveya. Convidering than that at least WfcO.QOO arera apant io embellishing Mr. Hartlctt'e booh, and th|| tha Mesiila Valley, which was lost be Mr Bsrtlett'e blunder, had to ba purchased over agsln, say at the expense of aame two or three millions of dollars, his book of travel is probably the moat coetly work aver pub* liahed, aad saarka ia a singular manner tha progress af lit era tars an a most magnificent scale Mr. Bartlett hating now ?one with the sketches, drawings, specimens, dtc., has generously offered to return them to his aaocasaar ia oJSaa.

When rags whip about her in her only homo, the street, and dogs share with her the refuse of the gutter, eba may regret that she disobeyed one who once loved Iter, but who, dying, cuised her.'

There wee something like a chuckle in the direction of Old Angelioe as the dying wretch dictated theee fearful words but aa 1 looked and saw tha stern face as rigid as marble, I concluded 1 raust bsve been mis* tskan. 1 could not, however, divert m)self of a certain feeling that all waa ivrong.

We era vary happy asaf Gad bfosa you 1' 'Do**-' But in alt that tkne, I haee n^»ar forgotten that bfcatftifol aogalie face, »or tha mute appeal which it made to ttey heart the anawer to whioh ooat ale the deep aoar whiab is tba object nf your present curioaity, and a ana thausand dollar foe iaSa the amount rewsived from ibayowog folks. Neither did I, in all that time regret the course 1 look. 8otne ten years ago, ae you probably remember. I spent a winter ia Havana. I hoarded with a Spanish lendlerd, whoes bouse wee generally liUed with Amsrioan visitora. But. atranga to aay, pusad oca week with him without a single American arrival? a»d I waa mentally raaelved one day to ieavwfor New Orieana, where 1 could fiad troops at friends and rid myself of the eneai ooaaequent upon my solitary poaitioa, whan I heard my heat calling ma: 'Senor, Senor, los Americanos—Amsricanos^ t-

Looking through my windnw, I saw a fine portly gentleman attending to his luggsge, snswering tbe demsnds of the tnousand and one leeohaa of porters who each claimed to have brought something for him. leaking might be of service to him, I went out, end with two or thtee dimes diepersed the villisns, who knowing me for an old stager, submitted to my orders. Ths gentleman turned toihshk me, hut suddenly stsrtod bapk.tben glanced at my temple and •eeing the end of my oandle-stick mark peepiug out bsnsath my soinUrero, he csught me by tha hand exclaiming have met before, Sir!—-How glsd am to see you f*T ZC^t1

And then without «apUnanon, hs drew me to the docr-wsy in which stood a matronly, hut still beautiful wotnsn. 'See, Dori/ said he, *is hot this our old friend T"

Atths word, 'Dora,* 1 started, and there before me, stood the Dora of thirty yssrs previcCs, still retaining many of Iter charms, but with the marks of time, notwithstanding, impressed upon, bsr fsatures.

You msy well believe our re-union wait most pleasant and eftcr dinner was over, and wa w«re out enjoying the aea-breeze, die whoie atory was told me. 1 will not give ycu the details of it it was long, but the rnsir. features of it were about whst 1 bsd surmised^^Dora was ths only child of her wesltby father her mother died when she waa a mere child, old Angelina hsd remained with her fsther in the cspscity of a housekeeper, and bad, while Dora was lirsy sit aohool, acquired as is gaoeraily the case, compiort coR'ro) over him. Dora was wooed and won by a pcor the father would not bear to it end elopement ?**s the consequence the old man in his rage broke up house-keeping, and taking bid Angsline with him, had atarted for the south. Dors followed with her husband, although she knew he would oot*see her, and although he bad been always uOkiod and harsh towards her, yet she knew he wss in ths I as! stage of consuption, and she determined, if possible, to be arith him when he died. At the time of his death, they had been following him about month from place to plaoe, keeping concealed from him, end eluding even the keen eyes of Angelina.

A med hy Hid Ifomh df ^flata had a small child, a little |irl about thirteen years a? sge, Wto came to her death Ihm* the infiuence of a snake, ana day iasi *»iek. under the lollowing circumstsnipes:

O Hsri resides on Copperas onMSlllin PVabklin county, and hut a ahort distance from Ibe Pacific-rtaUtoad depot., Some nias months sgo early last fall, bis family noticed ihia little girl to he piniog away and beoomeing very weak and pale, although she hsd been very fieahy and hearty, end sppsreatly without any cause or corttfilsint ef aickneaa. By the time winter had fairly set ia.she wss arasted away to a marasM eton, but aa soon as the leather bepam| opl« aha again aeeniad to reviVe. She never oomplained of being unwefi, and irt tfgard to her health ihe invariably aaid aha felt wry srell. only a Mule weak. As soon aa apriog arrtvad, aha could apt be prevsiled upan to eat any victuals in her father's houae, but would take a piece of bread atid bilttef, cir a piece of meet, •ndjgc out to the edge of tbe creek to eat it. Th« family noticed her reguarly, always going preoisely to the asms plsce, and invariably complaining of being

hungry after her return when, if mors vict^ kejf I,.. usls would be given her she would' sjjain return to the oreek#aa they thought. to est.

Finally eome of the neighbnra having heard ot the circumstances yC iba^ child's extraordinary conduct, and also of her wasted appearance, suggested to her father io watob hermovements. which he did last Pri^ day. The Guild had bean silting on tbe bank of the creek ns^rly. all the fore', noon, until near diunttr. ttm% wheg^ fhe got up end went to her father's house, ss^ed for pieoe ot breed and butter, returned to the same plsce she had been. il« fatSei kept behind her without making any ftqige. As soon as the child wss sested, the fsther ssw a huge blackanake slowly raise its head into her lap snd receive the bresd snd butter Ifdsn her hsndf and when she would at tempt to tske a bits of the bread, 'h« snske would commence hissing and become

sp|ar

ently very angry, when the child, tr^mWmg like a leaf, would promptly retum the brea't to the montier. The father wa*Completely parsliz^d, not being able to mot'e hand or foot, entertaining as most Irish persons, do, great drsad ol anakes, he Wt alarmed for the ssfety ol his child, not, knowing the nature Of the snsks or the extent of the infliiierioc on hie child. His blood heesma al* most clodged in his veins, and he groaned in perfect sgony, whioh csused the snake to become alarmed, and glided sway into the creek. The child then immediately sprang to her fset and ran home apparently much (rightened. Her lather followed h,er, but she refused to answer any questfohsi he *ben resolved to detsin his child at home but be wai advised to permit her to go a gain neat day lo .'he creek, and to follow her and- kill the snake.- ?».. iu**? j'

Next morning she took a bleoe of bread, sgain and went out to tha creak, bar father followed her with his gun io his hau2, end as soon as ths snske mads lus sppesranoe. shot him thro' tbe head. The child swooned the snske squirmed and worked himielf around awhile, and then died the child ia the mean time recovered Irom her eweon. bat was immediately seia^d with spasms, seting in a manner resembling the writhing of the snske snd finally died at the same moment the jmake died epparenHy In the greateat agony. ft#
