The setting sun with crimson beam
Now guilds the twilight sky;
And evening come with sportive MEN,
And cares of daylight fly;
linen deck the board with fowfs, and FL,
My glass with racY wine;
AND let those snowy arms, my love,
Once more thy harp entwinc.
oh strike the harp, my dark hard love,
And swell that strain so dear;
Thine angel form shall charm mine eve.
Thy voice delight mine ear.
Surely, said /, have heard these words hs-
fore; but the song.continued.
Inc glasses shine upon the board,
Bu. brighter shines thine eve
The claret pales its ruby tint,
When lips like thine are niph:
The taPers dim their virgin white
Beside thy bosom's hue;
And the fame they shed, burns no, so BRIGHT.
As that feel for you.
Then strike the harp each note ,nv ,ovo
Shall kinde fresh desire;
Thy melting breath shall fan that fame
Thy glowing charms inspire

: Honor the fair; for Of beauty the daughters
Light upon the rainbow life . stormy waters;
Roses from Paradise they intertwihe
With the dark threads, which destinys weaving;
Gladness of hearts that are lonely aud grieving,
Beams from their eyes, bright with mildness divine
On the spirits boldest pinion,
Man Though natures circle floats:
Bows to passions full dominion,
Loves her every varying notes;
On the distant hope he seizcs;
Follows that which CLEANS afar,
And the traAsion. arrarr, that pl.ascs,
Chases to the fnr,hesi star.
Woman with mag cal eloquent gsncss
Calls back the wx4slereg that rashly adyancsy
Claiming affection TO hons cfse~ y ,snefs - -

Bids him, Olsen ding his restless rolnplaiunes,

All II, threads of fate defyine,

And the sweet exchange of souls

Tides OF rich enjoyment rolls.
But as from Eolus harp when it's shaken

Loves holy plants in her breast saily flourish,
flants which the regions of purity nourish,
Haliowd and blest by the fruit that they bear.
In the fields of honor rowing,
Last amid her dazzling rays,
Power and fame, and splendor loving
Man, ambitions voice obeys:
And his heart is passions dwelling,
Filld with wishes dark and wild;
Eris hundred voices swelling
Rage, when Chants never smiled.
Spirits of war, to the fight fercsly rushing,

Of December, 1914, excluding foreigners from trade
and intercourse with Indian tribes within the limits
OF said United States, and TO preserve the fur trade
within the limits of the said United States to Anne
rican citizens" The bill was accompanied by g
number Of documents showing the extent to which
trapping and hunting had been carried on by for.
eigners within the limits of the United States, and
the effects attending the practice. The bill was read
and passed to second reading and the documents
were ordered to be printed.

ned He said he was induced to make this motion,
from full conviction that the subject could not be
acted upon at the present session of Congress, and
that therefore, it would be useless 10 consume time
in the discussion. Mr.. branch opposed the indi6
mite Tostponement, and called for the Yeas and Nays
on the question.
A discussion ofconsiderable length was here com.
menced, which, from the unexpected turn it took,
from its involving the propriety or improperly OF
Congressional Caucuses in relation to the Presden-
tial election, and from the feeling evinced for and
against that recently held, was more than usually
interesting
Mr.. Lolcrie presented the petition Of the Penn
syvana Society for promoting the Abolition of Sla-
very, and for the Ameioration Of the Condition Of
the African Race, praying Congress to take mea
for the abolition of Slavery in the District Of
Columbia The petition was read, and then laid on
the table.
Mr. Hare presented the remonstrance Of mum
Der Of inhabitants Of the state Of Georgia, against
the Tariff bill Referred to the Committee on Com

Mr.. LOCrie presented the memorial Of the Board
Of Managers of the Pennsylvania Society for the en-
couragement of Domestic Manufactures, praying
that Congress will adopt some system to extend to
the manufactures of the country similar encourage.
ment to that which has been extended to its com

of Philadelphia praying the revision and increase Of
