THE INTEMPERATE OLD MAN.

Il II r I'M II NJ + r. IL i Il OLD M AN.
! saw a man whose thin grey hair
Told many winters gone
Whose brow was press'd by heavy care
Whose face was pale and wan!
With feeble step he passed along
At mornings early light.
Repenting, oil the sins among.
Committed through the night!
Poor, frail old man! Aye. let thy tears
Thy wIthered cheeks bedew;
Recall the hopes Of early years,
When pleasures with thee few:
Aye weep away the appetite
That seals thy manhood's doom,
Nor lay thy head SO pure and white,
Within q drunkard's tomb!
Oh! God! shall man-high minded man
Thus reel the thread Of life
Thus end the breathing Of his span,
With all its horrors rife!
Cast-cast away the pois' nous bowl
The iie-cxiracting Asp
Nor trust the keeping Of thy soul,
Within its ireacherous grasp!

Extract of q letter, dated

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The Senate was not
in session to-day In the House, the bill grant
ing compensation to the family of Captain
Decatur and others, who aided in destroying the
Frigate Philadelphia in the harbor of Tripoli,
was considered in tie Committee of the Whole,
and amended When the Committee rose, the
further consideration Of the bill was postponed
till next Friday
The BILL as amended, gives Mrs. Decatur the
interest on S31 900 for life. At her death, two
thirds Of the sum is to be divided among the
blood kin of Commodore Decatur, and one-third
is left at Mrs D.. disposal. Heretofore the whole
amount was reported for the use Of Mrs. d.
alone, which prevented its passage Its present
amended shape seems to have gained it some
additional friends.
The BILL besides the provision in relation to
the Decatur family, has something for the fami-
ly ofCaptain Lawrence Lawrence, atthe time
he assisted in the destruction of the frgate in
the harbor of Trpoli, acted as midshipman;
his share will 60 OF course, to his family. 1t is
said that he has an only daughter, now residing
with her mother in the State of New Jersey

These Clerks in his opinion, were unneces-

were as useless to the Department, as its old
mail bags. He wished to know what were the
employment of all these Clerks. He had offer
ed a resolution formerly, which the House was
the duties of these Clerks, severaIly. and how
they were paid. He was aware that the rejec-
ton Of this appropriation would not affect the
Clerks themselves, for they had been paid He
wished to know where the Postmaster Gene
raj got the money. Let us know if the Post
master General takes the discretion of multi
plying officers as he pleases, and of converting
the funds of the department to this purpose,
and then applies to this House to extricate him

In the debate in the House of Representatives
on Tuesday last, MIR. Bates, ofMass., said
g 1t was no better than a waste Of time for the
House to attempt to fix limitation upon the
expenditures Of the Departments Last year
Congress limited the contingent fund ofthe State
Department to $25,000 it expended $29, 354.
The year before it was he believed, the same
sum- it expended S31 ,542. The restriction of
law is not at all regarded. He had, he said, in
his hand summary ofthe expenses of the State
Department during the last year, which may be
regarded as curiosity He did not pretend to
say, except as to the amount, that it was not
right. He knew nothing about it. The House
knew nothing about it. 1t needed explanation
In addition to $691 for newspapers there is
an expenditure of $3157 for (" ofce furniture
and j0ine7's Work" This in 1888. In 1882 it
was 81 227. In 1881, Sl,071. In three years
S. 455 for furniture, &c. for the State Depart
ment. " Painting and glazing" 1871 the last
year; 1870 the year before. " NisceAanies. IN
cluding hardware, stone and brick york, FREIGHT
and carriage, &C." So, 1856 In 1882, 1864 only.
" Labor and use Of horse" $541. The account
is singular mixture, from which you can infer
nothing certain with regard to any of these
items. Here is labor and use of horse-furni-
ture and joner's work-stationery and book
bnding-clerical services and packing. And
after the general and particular kinds of expen-
diture are set down broad enough, one would
think, to include every thing, then comes mis-
celionies, So, 156. He called upon the Commit
tee upon the Expenditures of the State Depart
ment to explain how it happens that these items
are SO large, and so far exceed in amount the
appropriation by law for that Department"

that the Supreme Court of the United States

stitute a quorum; to effect which, 1t IS proposed
that two additional Associate Justices shall be

the districts Of Tennessee, Missouri, and Illinois
the eighth circuit; and the Districts of Louisia-

Dreadful accidentally an arrival from Up
per Mississippi, we learn that the steamboat st.
Louis bound for Galena collapsed one of her
boilers on the 18th instant by which tWetDe or
fourteen persons apere either killed or seriously
1pounded The accident happened while endea-
voring to pass the Des Moines Rapids. Weun-
derstand that the stern Of the boat struck upon
rock and careened her over-the water IN the
boilers of course running to the lower SIDE. In
this situation the boat remained for twenty NIL
nutes or half an hour, when she righted and the
sudden return Of the water into the boiler pro-
duced an instantaneous explosion. The names
of the sufferers, as far as we have been enabled
to gather them, are-Perkins, the engineer, Kill
led Miss Moore, blown overheard and lost;
Mrs Moore and son, dangerously scalded, and
three other children killed; Mrs. Luckett from
Mill Greek, Illinois, badly scalded; Isaac Mars,
diving when the account left three Germans
dangerously scalded, and three other persons
slightly injured. The st. Louis was chartered

how much will be lost by the debts due from

Banks. at this time, cannot be told; but as so ma
nv hanks have failed in this District, the proba-
bility is near one half. The item Of the suspen-
ded debt can yield nothing at this time, ana, III
all probability, never will yield any thing The
item of real estate cannot now be converted IN
to money, scarcely at any price, in the embar-
raised state of the times; but when we take INTO
consideration the facts which have been stated
to this House in memorials from the Corpora
ton that the Corporation owes debt, III Eu-
rope in part, and at home in part, OF upwards
of one million eight hundred thousand dollars,
the civ tax to meet the interest OF that DEBT,
and the other current expenses OF the year, IS
eoual TO three per cent, upon the cash selllng
price of real property as have been informed,
there can be no doubt that no calculations can
be make on that item, The item OF stocks OF
various kinds deserves minute investlgauon.
That would, at first appearance seem 10 pc
available means, until we inquire and ascertain
what kind of stock it is. To do that will refer
