It was iatev than usual, and intensely cold, when she got up next morning. Her first glance out of the window showed they were buried in the snow. As far as the eye could reach there was a trackless waste of white, unbroken by a single object. The barn appeared to be half buried, the coal-shed was not to be seen but the storm had abated. Her first thought was of father and Jack. Had they reached II-in safety Her next thought, as she proceeded to make the lire, was, what should they do for fuel There was only that little pile in the kitch en. She went down stairs. Every window was blocked up. She made a "fire to get breakfast, and then opened the door. A sheet ol white faced her. She closed it quickly, fearing the snow would fall in up on her; and utterly appaled, sat down and cried. What were they to do? No one could get to them. They had no more than enough fuel to last during the day. Presently she dried her tears, and sat for a few moment thinking. Then she got up, lighted a lamp and went about preparing breakfast, drawing the table as close to the stove as possible. When she went up stairs the children were awake. Jamie fretted, and com plained of his head and his throat; he coughed, and had fever. She told him to lie still and she would bring him some cof fee and she and Will went down to their meal. She had determined what to do; and, after soothing Jamie, and telling him to lie still and try to sleep, she gave Will a picture book to amuse him, and began her preparations. She innst move up stairs and keep but one fire. Besides the small quantity of coal, there was but very little oil. All was darkness down stairs. The wind seemed to have blown the snow be fore it across the prairie, and walled them iu. She carried a bench up stairs, aud set it ill the IciU, and on this put her dishes aud eatables; took the baby's cradle and a crock of milk up (how glad she was she had the milk!), moved a stand and trunk out of the room, and put a table in their place. It was a dreadfully dreary day; aud she was glad when the time came to get din ner. The difficulties of cooking on the little chamber stove occupied her: and Will was immensely amused at the small table off which they had to eat. There was a noise at the door, and when they opened it liover the dog walked in. He had been left down stairs and forgotten. Will fed him, and he stretched himself be side the stove, wagging his tail whenever they spoke to him. Jamie would eat nothing,—he was really ill. Beckie saw that, but she did not know what to give him. The baby and he oc cupied her attention all the afternoon, She got supper ready early and put will to bed. She was very much alarmed about Jamie, and frightened when she saw how little coal there was left; not more than enough to make a tire in the morning. What should she do? They must have fire. She went into the cellar and knocked a couple of barrels to pieces, and carried the staves up stairs. She slept little, for Jamie tossed and threw his arms.out over his head, and the cover off him, and called “water! water!” every few moments. She had to keep up the tire for fear he would get cold; ami when daylight came, and she awoke from an uneasy sleep in which she had fallen, there was only "a couple of barrel staves left. She must keep the children warm, and she said to herself. “1 will doit if I must burn up all the furniture in the house.” Dressing herself warmly, she again vis ited the cellar. There was an old barrel in the corner she had overlooked; on re moving some bits of iron from it, she found about a bushel of coal. She carried this up stairs, and with the staves of the barrel, soon had a bright, warm tire, and a good breakfast set out for Will and her self. Jamie was so ill he did not notice anything; and the baby, who was always good slept. From the window was to be seen only the same dreary waste of un broken snow. All her energies tins day were taxed to keep the tire going. She dressed Will ami the baby warmly as possible, and collected and burnt every available small article in the house. The potato masher, the wash board, the tubs, the shelves in the cellar and the kitchen, the steps leading to the cellar, the clothes-horse, the bread-board and rolling-pin were till split in pieces, and carefully put in the stove, with bits ol coal to make them last longer. Before dark they went to bed, for there was not more than enough oil in the house to last a couple of hours. Jamio did not auy longer know her; he lay muttering in delirium. The morning dawned, and it was the same as before. All night— although nearly overcome with drowsiness and fa tigue—she had watched Jamie; bathed his hot head, and put water to bis lips. It was all she could do. Help must come witli the day. She would not give up. She used the last of the fuel to make up the lire, and managed to make the kettle boil. After she had taken some coffee and Will had eaten his breakfast, she left him at play with Rover, and went below stairs, and there sitting down, had a hearty cry. She believed Jamie was dying. She did not know what to do for him. What should she do? Why did not father come? Was ho dead Then she thought, “He will come if he is alivo. The children must not see me cry.” She wiped her eyes. "1 must split up this table to burn.” She lifted the axe and struck a piece off the edge—another—then she heard Rove bark; again and again he barked. “Will lCOHCI.lt|>EH OH EOlTRTnPitOE.J

Per order Ex. Committee. GEO. E. BRICKETT. President Sta’e Reform Club. THE CROMPROMISE OF The compromise measures of 18oO were supported by Mr. Fillmore and hi? admin istration in the expectation that tliey would allay irritation between the North and the South, and tend to a settlement of the question of slavery. The plan ot this compromise was drawn up by Mr. lay. It provided for the admission ot Califor nia as a free State fixed the boundaries of Texas, giving her 10,000,Odd for re linquishing all claim to jurisdiction out side those limits; organized the territories of New Mexico and Utah without a word upon the question of slavery prohibited the slave trade in the District ot Columbia; and provided more effectual enactments for the recovery of fugitive slaves. The committee from which the compromise was reported had beside C lay for chair man, such men as Webster, Cass, Bell, Mason; and Benton and Douglas had seats in Congress. Undoubtedly it embodied the best wis dom of the men who brought it forward. The questions it involved were difficult. Some measures had to be taken to organ ize the new territories acquired from Mex ico. This necessarily brought up the sub ject of slavery restriction or expansion, over which the contest was waged. It is alleged by Mr. Greeley that the compro mise never would have been adopted but for the *10,000,000 promised to Texas, which furnished a pecuniary stimulus to many members of Congress interested in Texas bonds. Be that as it may, the compromise itself was a failure, and a sad disappointment to those who support ed it. Looking back over the ground from the point which we now occupy we can see that it did nothing to settle the feeling about slavery, hut rather served to aggravate and intensify it through the operation of the fugitive slave law, and led on to the Kansas-Nebraska troubles, which prepared the way lor the division of the democratic party and the emancipa tion of the slaves. Neither section of the Union was satisfied with it. Abolitionists despised and slaveholders repudiated it. It sounded the death-knell of the V\ big party, and placed the wedge that split the democracy. Previous to his election as ice Presi dent Mr. Fillmore had a fair anti-slavery record, but when as President after the death ol Taylor he put his hand to the compromise ho was abandoned by the free soil Whigs, and charged with hav ing deserted his principles. A similar fate also awaited Mr. IV ebster. Defending the compromise and accepting a place in Mr. Fillmore's cabinet, he lost the confi dence of the anti-slavery element in his own party and never regained it. Mr. f ill more was a man who stood high with his partv until the blight of the compromise acts of IHjO fell upon him, blasting him as well as Mr. Webster beyond the power of recovery. Neither of them compre hended the vast power or the moral idea moving the North to restrict or extirpate slavery. Both lived to realize their mis take. Mr. Fillmore must have felt after the rebellion and the destruction of slavery that his own plans were amazingly weak, and wonderfully over-ruled, for they ac complished nothing of what the framers ot the compromise anticipated—the allaying of irritation in regard to slavery—but in the hand of Providence added new force to the anti-slavery agitation, and rolled it onward towards the victory which it achieved. A bill has passed both branches ot the Wisconsin legislature, to establish passen ger and ircight tariffs cm railroads, and only awaits the signature of the governor ‘o become a law. It provides thaf the principal roads shall charge only three cents per mile for passengers; for grain in car-loads, six cents per 100 pounds, tor the first twenty-live miles, four cents for every additional twenty-live miles An attempt to charge more forfeits the rights to receive any compensation. Refusal to receive freights and passengers at these rates shall result in a fine of *;S00 for each offense. The bill p:o\ ides for the appoint ment of three Railroad Commissioners, who shall have power to examine books and papers in the railroad offices, and com pel witnesses to attend shall report every January the actual cost ot each railroad, the total gross receipts, net earnings, total interest-bearing indebtedness of the com pany. and amount of interest paid shall decide questions of rates. Such a war against liquor selling ;mil such great efforts to reform the intemper ate as arc at present to progress in various parts of the country w ere never wltm ssed before. In the west the women’s move ment is exerting a powerful influence. In the east churches and organized temper ance societies are active, and Congress is at last moved to do something for the pro motion of temperance. To-day the Re form Clubs of Maine meet in convention in this city, to continue their organization and the work of saving inebriates. Boston has a new sensation in the report that Postmaster Burt of that city is to be removed and Audrew J. Bailey, a State .Senator, appointed as his successor. ex-president cebpedes. Ex-President Cespedes of the Cuban repub lic, whose death is announced, was about fifty five years old, and had taken no part in the revolution now progressing since his removal from office in 1873. Early in life he became identified with these who opposed Spanish rale in his native island, and was imprisoned and banished to Europe because ot his active opposition to Spanish government. On Octo ber It, 1808, Cespedes raised the revolutionary flag on his own plantation, La Do Magaguo, and gathering about 150 men around him at tacked Vara on the following Jay, achieving a victory over the Spaniards. This was the first battle of the present revolution.

Gray and committing a larceny therein. A jury was empanneled to try Thomas Haley, charged with secreting tin escaped prisoner and assisting him to avoid n recap ture. After one or two government witnesses had testified, the defendant thought best to abandon the defence and throw himself on the mercy of the court. It appearing that the old man was not aw are that in so shield ing his friend he was committing an offence against the law, he was permitted to depart on the payment of forty dollars, enough to cover all costs. Joseph Hcllen and John Hayes were ar raigned and put on trial lor a violent assault and battery upon Mary 1!. Cullinan. The parties are Irish living in the western part ol the county. It was a disreputable, drunken row, such as rarely happens now-a-days in neighborhoods where the salutary influence of the Priest can be brought to bear more direct ly upon his people.

The trial had 1 roceeded but a little way when the defend ants, by advice of counsel, concluded to retract and plead nolo contendere. The Judge fined them fifty dollars and costa of prosecution, and ordered Hcllen to find surety for his fu ture good behavior. They complied with the sentence.

The Democrats and Liber al Republicans have elected the moderator and town clerk by about thirty majority. Concord, N. II., 10. The New Hampshire State election took place to-day. The can didates for Governor, were Gen. McCutchins, (rep.,) Kx-Govcrnor Weston, (dem.j and Dr. blackmer, prohibition. The weather is cold and boisterous, witli thick snow squalls, which reduced the antici pated aggregate vote. Up to ten o'clock we have returns from 52 towns, which give Mc Cutchins 7781 WcstonSORl; Blackmer 275. Last year the same towns gave Straw 7088; Weston 7308; Blackmer and scattering 295. Democratic net gain in 52 towns, 512. If the remaining towns come in on the same ratio ol republican loss, Weston will be elected by Un popular vote. The Legislature will probably lie republi can and by a close vote. Returns from 143 towns show an aggregate vote ol 50,322. Of this vote McCutchins has 24,100, Weston 24.851, Blackmer 1,374. The same towns last year gave Straw 23,902, Weston 22,839, Blackmer and Scott 1,190; republican net loss 1,992. Concord, 10—11 1*. M. Returns from 104 towns give McCutchins 10,971, Weston 17,487, Blaekmer 890. The same towns last year gave Straw 10.997, Weston 10,010, Blackmer and Scott 825; republican loss in 104 towns, 908.

Fourth Despatch. Concord, 11.—3.30 A. M. Returns are te ceived from 152 towns, which give an aggre gate vote of 500,93. Of this vote McCutch ins lias 27,00;!, Weston 27,470, Blackmer 1, 014. The majority in these towns against Weston is 1,141. Kighty two towns to hear from, which last year gave Straw 7,377, Weston 7,070, Blackmer 350. Taking the vote in the remaining towns as last year, Weston lacks 1,198 of a majority. In these 82 towns he may not overcome this majority. The Council will probably be three repub licans and two democrats. '1 he Senate will probably stand about a tie, five republicans and five democrats and two districts no choice. The House will be very close and will de pend upon the towns not having made elec tion yesterday, that will elect to day. It is impossible to give a close approxima tion to how tlie Senate and House w ill stand at this hour. MASSACHUSETTS. Boston, 10.

As it neared, the dog sprang up and down, resting his paws on the window sill, and barking louder and louder, and Will stood beside him, making little springs and screaming. “It is father. Reekie'!

Thev were working outside, in a few moments something scattered tlie snow right and left—she was covered with it— ami her father burst into the kitchen. “Reekie where are you all?” “Here, father!” She was hanging on him. “All safe?” “Yes; but Jamie is so ili.” He made a step towards the silling-1 room door. “We have no tire;” she pointed to tin table. “I have burnt up almost every thing.” lie had Will in Ins arms; he stepped lc the door. “Men! they have no lire; she was chop ping up the table.’’ He turned to her.

The men were building a fire in the kitchen, and there was soon another blaz ing in the sitting-room. Air. Wilson’s first care was to attend to Jamie. He was accustomed to prescribe for his children when they were ill, and he had medicine in the house. 80011 he was seated, with Will on his knee and lleckie close beside and leaning against him, the tire burning brightly, while she told her story. He pressed her close to him. kissed her, patted her head and called her heroic little mother. O, how proud she was! Then he told her iiow he and Jack had been caught in the storm. They had lost the road and were unable to tell where they were, but kept on, ou for their liv cs and at last he became so exhausted and cold, the reins dropped from his hand, and lie fell to the bottom of the sleigh. Tli-'-n Jack, who was warmly wrapped in an ex tra bear robe, seized the reins and drove they could not tell whither. Night began to eorneou. After a lime they heard some one calling, and answering, found they had approached a dwelling, the owner of which, lantern in hand, come out to un loose his dog, and had heard (dumpies’ bell, which was tied on one ot the horse-. They were taken into the house. Air. Wilson was so exhausted he Had to be put to bed. Upon inquiry they discovered that instead of being near 11-, as they I supposed, they were not half way there;! they lmd been going round and round in a circle. The next morning they were appalled at the extent of the storm. Troubled and anxious concerning his children, Mr. Wil son had in rain endeavored to get Help to go to their assistance. There was no one there to help him and the day was spent in digging their way to the barns and out house, relieving the cattle and procuring fuel. The day after, they succeeded in putting together something that answered as a snow plough, and accompanied by Mr. Staines and his son, at whose house they had been sheltered; and joined by others whose homes they passed had made all haste possible to the children’s assist- ance. They were obliged to stop one j night, but bad started again at daylight next morning. Calling at Mr. Giles’ he, had learned that Joe and “Aunt Lizzie’’| had started, but, affrighted at the storm, had turned back. Then his anxiety was increased for he knew, from the out of! the way situation of the house, there was scarcely a probability of any aid but Lis reaching them. “1 feared to find you all dead and but for you, •little mother,’ it would have been so.’’ A few days afterwards; when .lack readied home, lie gave an account of the suffering and loss of life which the storm 1 had caused.
