Mr. Oar o« Abofitiewism In J839 Mr. Clay prepared a speech on abolitionism. and read it to a friend before its delivery in tbe Senate. That friend auggesied to htm that whilst be fully epproved ittia sentiments, be doubted the poh-t cy of delivering h, in view of his prospects for the Presidency. Mr. day's reply did him immortal honor. He said, "l woe Id Jrather be right than be President shaft)deliver the epeech." He did deliver ir, and ft will always ataad among the proudestte monuments of bit eloquence, patriotism andio devotion to the Union. With the sagacity?which was his prominent characteristic. hed foresaw that tbe designs of the abolition movement looked to the formation of two** great parties, which ahouid be purely eec*te tional and geographical-—tbe North apaiostrs the South and tbe Sooth against the North.e Such result (and be it remembered thetje this waa tbe dsteign of the abolition leadereh. in-their oppoeition to the Nebraaka bill) Mrs, Clay foresaw muet diaaolve tbe Union. Weio recur lo bis speech now for the purpose ofeextracting that portion of it which describes the dangers of such a sectional organize p'! lion of parlies, as peculiarly appropriate to'h be studied at tbe preeent time. Mr, Clay said: "The abolitionists, let me suppose, succeed in their present aim of uniting the inhabitants of the fre* States. Union on the one aide wiU beget union on the other. And this proces* of reciprocal consolidation wili tie attended with all the violent prejudice*, embittered paesiona and implacable animosities, which over degraded or deformed human nature. /A mutual dissolution of the Union will have taken place, while the forma of its existence remain.

SCUE^JWKUW.^UTE, INDLANA. FMLDAY, AUGUST 4, 1854

iou, the ode thousand bright dollars, kept my toogue bridled, and I waa led In ailenoe up two pair of steps into a suit of rooms comprising a parlor and two bed rooms The parlor however, was occupied by a bed which ley an old aod evidently dying man. A servant was With him, but Jte left upon a motion from tbe hand of my enm paaion. who approached tbe bed and said •1 have an attorney, here air abali he proceedT*

The old man's eye* brightened up. and after glaring on me a moment, he apoke 'If you can draw my will, do quiok,now for. 1 must save my breath.*

I turned to the table, where I found pa per, pens, ink, and everything neceasary and by the light of two sperm eandloa ii heavy silver candlesticks. 1 waa aoon tusi ly engaged at the will.

I will not trouble you with the details, nor in fact, do 1 remember them but it ia nofcgh to aay that a large amount of property, real and persons!, bond*, mortgagee, etc.. were leA in the words of ihe will, MO my good and faithful housekeeper, Angeline aa a token of gratitude for long, faith fill, and meritorious service.' But tbe con eluding words of tbe will I shall never for get they were written from hia owo mouth and made me ah udder a* I wrote them.-— There wa* aomething fearful—yea devilish in thua deliberately recording in what purports to be your last written wish, a curse upon your own offspring. And I felt as wrote it, an involuntary desire to tear the paper into fragments, and to rush from the room, but the thousand dollars were like so meny anchore, and 1 ataid and wrote 'I leave my daughter, Dora, all the aitri faction she can obtain frum my hearty curse. When rags wbip about her in her only home, the atreet, and dogs shsre with her the refuse of the gutter, she msy regret that she disobeyed oct* who once loved her, but who, dying, cuised her.'

There waa something like a chuckle in the direction of old Angeline as the dying wretch dictated these fearful words butaa I looked and saw the atern faoe as rigid as marble, I concluded I must have been mis* taken. I could not, however, divert mself of a certain feeling that all waa wrong. A rich old man, accompanied by an old housekeeper, and dying in a atrange oity her anxiety to have the will so strong the curse on his daughter, and (he large fee, all oonapired lo make me feel that 1 was being instrumental in the aocompliahment of some wilfafnous object. Again I meditated the """"deatiu'ction of the psper, and again my fee and my wCnts conquered. The will was finished, and 1

{t over

the old

man groaning, and ti'.C *°raan looking an occasional aasent but *hen 1 read the terrible curse, a new actor appeai?d oo the scene: •Oh! tear ill tear it! Oh, God, you know not what you do I'

The plaintive tones of the voice (bached my heart, even before my eyea beheld its owoer but when 1 saw her, heavens and earth 1 what an angel ahe was! The language is yet undiscovered, Harry, that is competent to give you a description of that face the eyes dancing with excitement, yet liquid with tears the mouth proud as Juno's, yet compressed with anguish. But why do I attempt description The most majestic, yet ihe sweetest countenanoe I ever beheld, appealing to me, and not in vain for while the old man, waak aa he was, jumped from the bed screaming 'Kill her! kilt her!* tore the will into fragment*, aud we both fell lo lite floor, he dead, and I stunned by a blow from the heavy candlestick weilded by the old hag Angelina.

When my conaciousne** returned, 1 found myself in my own bed at my own boarding houaa, my host and hastes*., any sole attendant. My mind waa clear the moment I looked about me, and 1 knew I had been brought hocpe, and' was now confined from the effects of that blow. I resolved to keep my own council, aod to ascertain what 1 could of ibe subsequent proceedings thii nijfht. Upon inquiry found had been brought home by a young gentleman in a oarriage. who had left funds for the employment of a phyaioian, and had atso left a Ittterftir ne, 1 opened the letter as aoon as I waa alone, and found a fifty dollar bank not* with these worde •You did last night a deed worthy of more gratitude than our present means enable us to express The property which ao nearly belonged lb that infamous hag who struck you will aooo be ours, aad you shall hoar from us.

But in all that time, I have never forgot ten that hbatfHftil angelic faoe, nor the mute appeei which it made to thy heart tbe an swer to %*hich coat me the deep soar whioh is the object of your preeent curiosity, and a one thousand dollar fee less the amount received from tbe young folka. Neither did t, in all that time regret the course 1 look.

Some ten years ago, as you probably remember. apent a winter in Havana. 1 boarded with a Spanish landlord, whose boose was generally filled with American visitor*. But. strange to aay, passed one week with him without a aingle American arrival and 1 waa mentally resolved one day to. leave for New Orleana, where 1 could find troop* ot friends and rid myself of the ennoi ooneequect upon my solitary position, when 1 beard my host oalliog me: •Senor, Senor, los Americanos—Americanos.1

Looking through my window, I saw a: fine portly gentleman attending to hie luggage, answering the demands of the thousand and one leeches of porters who each claimed to have brought aomething for him. Thinking I might be of aervioe to him, 1 went out, and with two or three dimes dispersed the villians, who knowing ine for an old stager, submitted to my orders. The gentleman turned to thank me, but suddenly startod back, then glanced at my temple and aeeing the end of my candle-atick mark peepiugout beneath my sombrero, he caught me by the hand exolaiming 'We have met before, Sir!—flow glad I am to see you I

Aod then without explanation, he drew me to the door-way in which .stood a matronly, but si ill beautiful woman.

See, Dora,' said he, 'is hot this our old friend Aft he word 'Dora,' I started, and (here before me* stood the Dora of thirty years previous, still retsining many of her charms, but with the marks of lime, notwithstanding, mpreased upon, her features.

You may well believe our re-union was most pleasant and after dinner waa over, and we w«re out enjoying the aea breexe, the whole story was told me. 1 will not give you the details of it it was long, but the main features of it were about what had surmised. Dora was the only child of her wealthy father her mother died when she was a mere child, old Angeline had remained with her father in the capacity of a housekeeper, and had, while Dora was «W*y at school, acquired as is generally the case, compio!? con'rol over him. Dora was wooed and won by a pcor the father would not bear to it and elopement tje consequence Ibe old man in his rage broke up house-keeping, and taking old Angeline with him, had started for the south. Dora followed with her husband, although she knew he would not*see her, and although he bad been always unkind and harsh towarda her, yet she knew he waa in the Ust stage of consuption, and she determined, if possible, to be with him when he died.

We have ocoasrooally read aocounta of persons having been fascinated or spall bound by anakea. but never knew of an instance ocourring in our tioiniiy. Until a day or two since, and one that tire know to be the fact. A man by the tiamfe Of O'Harl had a small child, a little girl about thirteen yeara ef age, who came to her death thro' the influence of a snake, one day last week, under the following circumstances:

Ot Hara residea on Copperas' creek, in Franklin county, and but short dlstanci from the Paeifio Railroad depot. Some nine months ago early last fall, hia family noticed ihis little girl to be pining away and becomeing very weak and pale, although she had been very fleshy and hearty, and apparently without any cause or certtffliini of sickness. By the time winter had fair ly set io.sha was srasted away to a mereskd eton, but as soon as tbe Weather bepatne cold she again seemed to revise. She never oomplained of being unwell, and in i^gard to her health 6he invariably said she felt very well, only a little weak. As soon as spring arrived, ahe oould not be prevailed upon to eat any victuals in her father's house, but would take a piece of bread and butteh or a piece of meat, and jp out lo the edge of the creek to eat it. The family noticed her reguarly, always going precisely to the same place, and invariably complaining of being hungry after her return when, if more vict uals would be given her ahe would'a^ain relum to ihe ereek.aa Ihey thought, to eat

Finally aome of the neighbnra having heard ol the oiroumstancea of the child's extraordinary conduct, and also of her was ted appearance, suggested to her father to watch hermnvements. whichhe did last Kri day. The Guild had been sitting on the bank of the creek nearly all the fore noon, until near dinner time, when she got upand went to her father's house, asked for a piece ol bread and butter, returned to the same placc ahe had been. Uerf'tHei kept behind her without makiug any nqjgo. As soon as the child was seated, the father saw a huge blacksnake slowly raise its head into her lsp aud reccive the bread and butter from her hand and when she would at tempt lo lake a bile of the bread, the snake would commence hissing and begome arppaently very angry, when the child, trembling like a leaf, would promptly return the brca't to the monitor, 'ill* father was completely parslizid, not being able to move hand or foot, entertaining as most Irish persona do, a great dread of snakes, lie felt alarmed for the safety ol his child, not knowing the nature of the snake or the extent of tho infillerice on his child, (lis blood became almost clodged in his veins, and ha groaned in perfect agony, whioh caused the snske to become alsrmed, and glided away into the creek. The child then immediately sprang to har feet and ran home apparently, much frightened. Her father followed h,er, but she refused to answer any questions, he .'^e0 resolved to detsin his child at home but be waa advised to permit her to go again next day to creek, and to follow her and kill the snake.

Next morning ahe look a piece of bread, again and went out to the creek, her father followed her with his gun in his han«i, and as soon aa the anake made his appearance, ahot him thro' tbe head. The child swooned the anake squirmed and worked bimielf around awhile, and then died the obild in the mean time recovered from herewoon, but was immediately sensed with epasms, acting in a manner resembling the writhing
