Said a Professor, not long since, to a New England Studeat, during a con versation which happened to turn on Mrs. Stowe's uook--"I have lived in Georgia, as a teacher, and can bear witness to its truthfulness from my own observation." Again, in a seria of lectures, now in course of delivery be fore the Senior Class, by the President --upon the =Origin of Rights, and the Duties of States';-he has taken espe cial pains to dwell upon the " unjust lice of Slavery," and our obligations to a - higgr law." In order to bring the subject-efore the` great body of the students, he has witif. the I^t week, in connection with a+rofessor" in the low Department, given as a question for a prize debate before one of the Societies: " Ought the Fugitive Slave Law to be Ooeyed ?" He has also aken occasiion to congratulate himself upon the efdiciency of this law; and to express his itdilference to the time when the tinal crash may come, which shall determine whether or not this is to be a free government. In what, uaiw. consists Yale's further claims to nationality-of which tier friends, everywhere, have so long boa" ?

Such has of late been the state of feeling, that a proposition had been mooted by a number of southern students. to with. draw in a body.

" [SikfSnnah Morning News. SThe Fools Pence. n year 183-, in'a ha dson fur ' - t o kat niote.dL oin sop, called "The Punoh Bowl," sat its mistress, the gau dily dressed MrsCrowder, conversing with an obsequious neighbor. " Why, Mrs. Crowder, I really must say you have things in the first style ? What elegant papering! what noble chairs! what a pair of fire-screens ! all so bright and fresh! Then the elegant stone copings to your windows, and these beautiful French window frames! And you have been sending your daugh ters to the genteelest boarding-school; your shop is the best fitted in all this part of London. Where can you find the needful for these things? Dear Mrs. Crowder, how do you manage ?" Mrs. Crowder' simpered, and cast a look of simpleIontempt throuD the half-opened dodr, into the shop filled with draughty customers. "The fool's pence--'tis the fool's pence that does it for us," she said-and her voice more shrill and louder than usual, with the triumph she felt. Her words reached one customer, George Manley, the carpenter, who stood near the counter. J'urning his eyes upon those around him, lie saw pale, sunken cheeks, inflamed eyes. iand ragged garments. He then turned upon the stately apartment; he looked through the door into the parlor, saw looking glasses and pictures, and gild. ing, the fine furniture, and a rich car pet, and Miss Lucy in a silk gown, at her .itno; and he thought to himself how strange it is! how curious it is that all this wretchedness on my left hand. should be made to run into all this rien finery on my right. " Well, sir-and what's for you ?" F sai&4 shrill ie, which made the Sfodds pence' ring in. his ear. " A glass of gin, ma'am, is what I am waiting for; pt I think I've paid the last fool' proC that I shall put down on this countesifor many a long Manley hastened homre. His wife and two little girls were seated at work. They were thin and pale, really in want of food. The room looked very cheerless and their fire was so small as hardly to ;e felt, yet the dullest ob .server would be struck with the neat r that reigned. It was a joyful surprise to them, his returning so early that night, and re turning sober and in good humor. " Your eyes are weak to-night, wife," said Gdrge, " or else you have been crying. I'm afraid you work too much by candle light." His wife smiled, and said, "Workting, does not effect my eyes;" and she beckoned to her little boy, who was, standing apart in a corner W ently" as'a culprit. - "Why; John, w hat's this I see ?" said his father. " Corq nd tell me what, you have been doir." • The baker eame for his money .to night, and would not leave the loaves without it; but though he was cross; and rough, he said mother was not to: blame, and that he was sure you hadl bgen drinking away all the money;j anld when he was gone, mother cried over her work, but she did not say any thing. I did not know she was crying/ till I saw her tears dropping on her hand, and then I said bad word4i and: mother put me in the corner. ".Tell me what your bad words were, Je.n,"'said his father, "not swearing, I hope ?" " No," said John, coloring; I said you i were a bad man-I said, 'bad father." "And they were bad words sure." said his mother, Ott you are forgiven so now b'iid me.sjme coal from the box." ' , - 1eeete looked ;t the face of his wife, and as he met the tender gaze of her mild blue eyes now turned to him, he felt the tears rise to his own. He rose aip, and putting asoney into her hands,' he said, "There are my weeks wages. Come, eome, hold out both hands for. you have not got all yet. Lay it out for the best, as you always do. I hope this will be a beginning of better doings on my part, and happier days on yours." George told his wife, after the chil dren h gone to bed, that when he saw w the penee of the poor could do towards keeping up a fine house and dressing out the landlord's wife and daughters, and when he thought of his ownV hard working and uncomplaining 8usan, and his ehildren in want, and al miost in rags, while he night afte'night, destroying his health and strength, he was soastruck with sorrow and shame, that he seemed to comne to himself at last. He determined from that Bour never again to put the ij toxicating glass to his li. More than a.eai terwards on Sun day afternoon,s Mrs. Crowder, of the Pounch Bowl was wakiag with her daughters to the tea-g ns, they were overtaken by a violent. ower of and had be gue at lest hrlf drentd, whin they matereq a eesafo able 1Sk iJaLouse, distin.ed i a comforts - diness fro .li e_ near ilp Its natured sIr d r bpr two girls lL l they could to tryand wipe away the rain drops and mud splashes from the ladies fine silk dresses and persons. When all had been done that could be done, and, as Miss Lucy said, :" they began to look like themselves again," Mrs. Crowder, who was lolling in a huge arm chair, and amusing herself by stare at every one and everything in le room, suddenly started forward and addressing herself to the master of the house, whose face had just caught her eye. "Why my good man, we are Id friends; I know your face, I'm cetrin; still, there is a change in you, tho h.I can't exactly say what it is." "I used to be in ragzed clothe. and out of health," said George Manley. smiligay : now thank God I am corn fdtoily clad and in excellent health." "But how is it," said Mrs. Crowder. "that we never get a sight of youV? "Madam," said he, I am sure I wish you well; nay, I have reason to thank you, for words of yours first open ed my eyes to my own foolish and wicked course. My wife and children were half-naked and half-starved, only this time last year. Look at them, if you please, now-for sweet contented looks, and decent clothes, I'll match them with any man's wife and children. And now, madam, I tell you as yowtold a friend cf yours one ,lay last year- 'tis the fool's pence, that have done all this for us. I ought to say, the pence earned by honest industry, and spent so that we can ask the blessing of God upon the pence." Mrs. Crowder never recovered the customer she had lost. A "Trampag" Printer. Among tae prisoners before the may or this morning was one Washington Franklin Thompson, who was found by a city officer sleeping in an open lot. A plush cap, jeans coat, and a striped pair of cassinetts completed his dress, ,and although much the worse for wear, had been so nicely brushed in the watch house that he made quite a re spectable appearance in the dock. He seemed impatient for his turn; and when called up, arose with a dignified air and solemn demeanor. " The watchman tells me you were drunk last night," said his Honor to him. " Quite likely," he replied. "but greater men than I have been in the same condition. The whigs say Frank Pierce is a drunkard. and the locofocos always urged that - Old Harry' took his tod in his young days." " That may all be true, sir, but drunk enness is punishable here. Where did you come from ?" •"That's rather a tough q4tsion. I have no par ticular abiding p.ace." What is your buniness ?'" " A printer by profession, and a peg destiian bycpractire." -" Do you work at the printing busi. ness ?:' " When rry pockets or my stomach requires it I do. To explain, I have al ways had a strong desire to see the world, and although as poor in pocket as Bill Allen is in flesh, I have endeav ored to gratify this burning curiosity. I have tramped, tlhrough twenty-three Itates, two territories, and the British provinces, and are now on my road to California, by way of the plains." "But you say you are poor. How do u manage to feed and clothe your • Easy enough. When on tramp country people are always glad to ac compnodate me with meals or lodging for the news I bring them. I generally m;oage to replenish my wardrobe by shaip trades with verdant persons. My refreshment money l earn by the sweat of my brow at printing offices in small 16wns." "But do you not often suffer, in your travels ?" "Never, unless I get into a temper ance ntry. I own nothing-there fore Y4ie no fear of loss. Walk on turopik-bs.-have no fear of tolls. Am a goodtalker--hve no fear of losing a meal. Always keep within the bounds of civilization, and afn confident I can humbug somebody.' " Bt you get drunk-was drunk last night." "That was purely accidental. I tarted from Columbws for Indianapolis but took the wrong road, and before was aware of the mistake, found my. self here. This induced me to take an extra tod, and the liquor you keep here is so d-d bad that it destroqigl my equilibriuag. Miserable liquor down here-havn't been dead drunk l a years before.' "You said you were anxious to pur sue your journey 3" " Nothing shorter, as the b'hoys say, and by your leave, I will forthwith turn my face towards the Father of Waters, on the bosom of which Tom Benton ogee saw the 'yellow boy's' floating up stream. Do you know, of all your S saien, Tom's my favorite ?" ".Indeed." ":Yes; and Bill Allen stands second best with me. What does your honor say-shall I depaft?" " Why, if you'll promise." "' romises I never make. But if any of your vigilant watchmen catch Franklin inebriated again, punish him, that's all. I've never visited the inte rior of a prison, except in the capacity of a phitanthropist, and by your leave never will." " From your manner I think I can trust you. You may go." '" Muoh obliged. If I should turn my atteation to.minlog after I get to Cali. fornia, and I return This way, you shall have a snuff of my maiden dust. I wish you good morning.
