One day in the afternoon, honest Nidiolas started to procure something forarah. The evening set in, and Sarah eing alone, indulged her favorite in setting up for company. The evening va niu-; sually dark, and siie fastened the door;

s!ih knew not why, and seated herself

with Julia, amusing the lonesome time by the prattling of this little innocent, so miraculously saved by her Henry Gordon.

"Come mother, ' sai 1 tho chattering Julia, "now tell me the story of the little child found above the cascade." "Ah! dearest, it't a lonji tale to tell, but be a good girl, end by and by yon shall hear it." "i'il hear it now father says I have been good, and you say so too." murmured our little heroine, drawing her wooden

stool towards the nurse. "I cannot now, my child; Henry will tell it to you when you grow up." "Then you won't tell it me you promised trie you would." "No, dear, you must not hear such stories; one of these days you may go with me to the waterfall." The conversation of the nurse and child was now interrupted by a loud rap st the

door of the cottage, and old Sarah inquird who was there. No answer returned:

but the sound of footsteps was heard mov

The Northern men with Southern Principles.

Odour cf Cutf'eeism. The Democratic

Legislature of Massachusetts are giving their Southern friends some sterling

proofs ot their sympathies and kindly feelings towards the 'peculiar institution' of

the South. The Senate have passed a bill, provid

ing that Bail Kord corporations shall not

make any rule discriminating between the accommodations of passengers on account of color, and making it a penal offence in

agents who exclude or assault persons on

that account.

Should any of our Democratic friends take

a trip next summer on the Great Western Rail Road, and find themselves with their

wives and daughters "cheek by jowl" with a son of Ham, we hope that the

odour of cufjecism wilt be rendered tol

erable by the reflection, that Democratic

hands have commended it to their nos

The Senate of the Old Bay State not content with passing the above mentioned act, have passed another which paves the

way for a yet closer connection between the colors. They have passed a bill re

Ha arose late, but as nothing was whis

resolved on his evening plan. His atten

perceived pleased the old d-.me; and until

Iia rptired for the night, strove his utmost

to please the whole family. On tins evening he lay awake until he heard Matilda retire to her room, find finally until every noise became hushed. It was a beautiful evening, and so light that he was almost tempted to defer his second attempt. At length, however, he arose, and wrapping himself iu a sheet, softly entered her chamber; so eager was he to reach the bed, that juntas he arrived near it, he stumbled and pit: bed forward, falling on the same bed with Matilda. Feelingtheload which fell heavily on her, the affrighted girl opened her eyes, and see-, igf a man in white, raising himself on his feet by her bed side, she shrieked, and attempted to lift herself up, when Gordon pushed her back, throwing his arms around her, attempting to slop her screams. At this instant the noise below struck upon his ears, he desisted, while tho shocked and terrified Matilda sprang from her bed and passed him, Hying to the head of the stairs. Gordon, now being left alone, paused a moment, deliberating what to do, and hearing the family rushing up stairs, immediately retreated to his room, as he suppos ed, unpc reieved.

those lCelings which previously ac

sure to Henry would inllict upon his noble and generous heart; and agonizing sensibility seemed to torture her at the conse

quences that might ensue if ho should learn the true cause of her alarm; and after reflecting some time, she at length firmly resolved to keep it from him. Things remained in this state, and a day or two passed oft' and nothing was heard

from Gordon. Henry had returned on the evening of the day he accompanied his father; but he scarcely spoke a word. He looked melancholy and dejected, as though something lay heavy on his mind. Old Sarah did all she could to cheer him up. bv keeping her tonguo running inces

santly for nature had endowed her with a bountiful "gift of gab-"

It was several days ere Henry assumed

that cheerful look which was wont to per

vade his intelligent countenance, during

which limo nothing occurred worthy of

note, excepting that ho frequently visited his father, w ho appeared all kindness towards him. His term of absence from

his studies having now expired, he shortly

after left the family of his nurse, and bid an adieu to his father, for a few months.

Gordon, in the mean time, feeling dis

contented, started for Canada; and there, in company with his old companion, in

dulged himself in his growing propensi

ties of dissipation. In gambling be was successful, and he returned to his habitation to put some plans in execution, but

was again defeated. During his visit,

Once or twice during Ins father s absence, had Henry visited tho dwelling of the Butterfieids and happiness and contentment seemed once more restored beneath this hospitable roof.

cently addressed a letter to Mr. Wright, one of our Senators in Congress, asking

him whether they should nominate him

for tho Vice Presidency. - Mr. Wright

answered this missive by saying to them

explicitly that he would not be a candidate, and telling "them in so many words that Mr. Van Bl-iien being the choice of the party in New York for the office of President, it was not for him (Mr. Wright) to throw any obstacle in the way of the nomination of this distinguished gentleman such as an acceptance of any other individual of the Empire State, of the nomination of the second odiee, would be. As is remarked by the National Intelligencer, Mr. Wright repudiates the use cf the hackneyed scrub term of Locofocos, which for the last few years has been used al tiauseum by lhal party. He says not a word about "the democracy," and makes no appeal to "our democratic brethren," Iiejullican seems to be good enough for him, and that is the word he employs in designating his party. We by no means recognise tlie right of the party to which he belongs, to appropriate that designation to itself; it belongs to a purer and much belter party, but as our Washington Correspondent remarked the

other day in relation to its use by Mr.
