FOR LOVE is STRONG AS DEATH.

FOR LOVE is STRONG AS DEATH
rnom "TuE RELIQUARY," BY BERNARD
-t AND LUCY BARTON.
THEy err who deem loves brightest hour
In blooming youth is known
lis purcst, tenderest, hottest power
In later life is shown:
when passions chastened and subdued
To ripper years are given;
And earth and earthly things are viewed
In light that breaks from Heaven.
IL is not in the flush of youth,
Or days of cloudlcss mirih,
W. ieel the tenderness and truth
OF loves devoted worth
Lille then is like Tranquil stream
Which flows in sunshine bright,
And objects mirror'd in il seem
To share its sparkling light.
IT'S when the bowling winds arise,
And life is like the ocean,
Whose mountain pillows brave the skies,
Lash'd by the storms commo.iun.
when lightning cleaves the mnrky cloud,
And thunder Pcals around US,
lis then we feel our spirits bowed,
BY loneliness around us.
Oh then, ms 10 the seaman's sight
The beacon's trembling ray
Surpasses far the lustre bright
OF Summers cloudless day.
Fen such, 10 tried and wounded hearts
la manhood's darker years,
The gentle light true love imparts
lid SORROWS, cares and fears.
ls beams on minds of Joy beref
Their freeh'ning brightness fling,
md show that life has something left
To which their hopes may cling;
II steals upon the sick at heart.
fhe desolate in soul,
To bid their doubts and fears depart,
And point brighter goal.
If such be loves triumphant power
Der spirits touched 10y time,
Oh! who shall doubt its purest hour
OF happiness sublime:
In youth tits like the meteor's CLEAN
Which dnzzles and sweeps by;
In after life lis splendours seem
i.ink'd with eternity

Ignorance and Vice No amount of
argument or defamation could exhibit
more forcibly the value of education,
than does the statistics of some of our

volumes to the purpose. In Sing Sing

ceived good English education; aud 4Si

in Pennsylvania
You ask me my opinion Of Gen. Harri-
sons qualification, morals, &c. OF his
morals, so far as | know, they are better
than are generally to be found with our
great men. He is too much of Il gentle
man TO use profane language and so far
as have ever known, he is perfectly
temperate.-My personal acquaintance
with the General commenced in the Sen
ate of Ohio, in 1918, and was continued
by our meeting at Washington city. In
point of talents, he stands very fair, and
is fully competent to discharge the duties
of PRESIDENT WITH HONOR TO
HIMSELF AND HIS FRIENDS, but
the best of all is, that he is emphaticaIly
an HONEST MAN.

We extract the following from the
National Gazette of Thursday:
We are indebted to the editor of the
U. ;. Gazette for the following extract
from letter, dated Harrisbugh, March
I6, 1886. The information is Of great
interest.
The Governor has just sent in his
veto to the Girard Bank. The clerk is
now reading the reasons. 1t is II long
sssay-he refers to his inaugural address
-recgrs to the statement of the Bank
capital ms suflicient-considcr the IN
crease of banking capital frauds Of
opinion that the Bank of the United
States is amply suflicient-and finally the
bonus was not sufficient.
"Mr. Stevens has just made motion
to bring up the bill again and ascertain
by vote Of two-thirds, (required by the
Constitution) whether the House will sus-
tain the veto. A discussion is now go
ing on upon making this affair the order
for particular day-to-morrow, Satur-
day ard Monday have been named"

4 new light has suddenly visited the eyes
Of the whig Governor What but few
days ago was honesty and fair dealing,
is now found out TO be fraud. But
there is another more cogcn, reason for
the veto Of the consistent Governor.
q" The Bonus oGered is not sufIeient."

From Fiorido.-The L. 5. Telegraph
of the 18th inst., has the following impor-
tant and cheering intelligence.
Gen. Clinch has joined Gen. Gaines
at Wi.hlacooche with 500 men, and with
this force Gen. G. intended to cross the
river on the following day. His boats,
RATS and artillery were all ready. The
Indians it is said were encamped about
four miles from the river, protected by
breastwork thrown up of dirt. The fir
ing of cannon was distinctly heard at
Fort Drane on the 9th, and there remains
no doubt that Gen. Gaines has ere this
succeeded in crossing and routing the In
dians.

GFPENNsYLyANIA.-itis is not pretend
ed by the wings that the people of this
great State are opposed to the National
administration. The legislature, chosen
by minority and bought up by the Bank,
has re-chartercd that dangerous iustitu-
ton Uader its corrupt influence one
branch of that legislature has passed res
olutions instructing their Senators in Con-
to vote against the eXpuneing resolutions
of Mr.. Benton. Whether the. other
branch of the Legislature will concur in
these resolutions, time viii determine.
But whatever may be done by those, who
for n time have obtained legislative and
executive power in the State, the period
is fast approaching when the people, dis
covering the evils that their late disscn-
sions have brought upon them, will again
unite, to ovcrwhelm with defeat and igno-
miny the vcnal and depraved politicians,
who are now using their temporary author
,ty, to barter for gold the liberties Of
Pennsylvanians.

great ingenuity and force. lie had
brought into the discussion the result OF
great industry and ability, and yet, sir, it
is impossible formy own nind to subscribe
to certain parts of the argument"
The following article is from the New Bedford
Gazet,e-a.paper nearly neuilal ii.~i,s politics
well-edited, candid, and no more Of the Fanny
Wright order than our neighbor of the Times, or
any of his co-editors--
DUrEE ]. PEARCE. The speech of this
gentleman upon the New York Relief
Bill, is pronounced by some of the Wash
ington letter writers as unworthy of his
talents, and by others as one OF the hap
piest and ables. efforts that have been
made this year on the floor of Congress.
We have not seen it, and are therefore
unable to Judge of lis merits, but shall
not be surprised if the favorable opinion
be the correct one. 1t seems to be the
object of some of the most violent oppo-
sers of the administration of the Govern
ment, to attack, abuse, and yilliiy its
ablest supporters. This course, we are
assured, does not receive the sanction of
the prudent men of the opposition party,
although some of them may significantly
wink at its effect. The representative
from Rhode Island is not the only prom
inent member of his party, at whom the
shafts of malice have been aimed. Isaac
HILL of New Hampshire, has been scott
ed at, and most shabbily treated by his
heartless political enemies-and as a full
rebuke they are now apprised of the fact
that he has just been elected Governor of
his own State, where he is best kn0wR,
with little opposition. Mr.. NILES, of
Connecticut, appointed by the Executive
of his native State to fill the vacancy in
the U. s. Senate, occasioned by the death
of Senator Smith, is another point of at
tack, and the Wing press lavish upon
him their arrant abuse couched in chosen
epithcts to an unmeasured extent. These
and other considerations lead us into n
belief that if the Father of his country
were to rise from his ashes at Mount Ver-
non and have the independence to ex-
press opinions not exactly consonant with
Wig policy an attempt would be made
to sacrifice him. The candid and Impair
tial observer cannot but discover the dcS-
perate course of the fault-ilndng party in
question, nor can he fail to see the imbc-
clity of their movements, in attempting
to slander such men as Dutee J. Pearcc,
one of the most efficient members of Con-
gress.

Dsstructire Fire. anil Loss of LiT-

Destructive Fire, and Loss of Life
About 5 o'clock yesterday morning, a
fire broke out in the wheeiwrishi's shop
of Nr. Farley, in l2lh-street, near the 81
Avenue which destroyed the building and
its contents. /, almost Immediately COM
municnted tu The extensive stables Of Mr..
John Murphy, proprietor of one of the
Bowery omnibusses which were complete
ly consumed, with large quantity of
proyender, and 81 out of 40 horses were
literally roasted alive, and seven of his
STAGES destroyed.by the flames. The fire
then extended To the dwelling house of
Mr.. Van Tassel, (oificer of the upper po-
lce,) which was situated in the rear of
the stables, and was almost entirely con-
sumed, together with nearly all the iurni-
ture it contained. The flames next Mt
tackled the dwelling house q; Mr.. Murphy,
AT the corner of 18th street and the Sd
Avenue, which was very much injured.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work OF an incendiary, ms no fire had for
long time been used in the shop of Mr..
Early. The loss OF Mr.. Murphy is esti-
mated at $4,000, and no insurance
his dwelling house, owned ny David
5. Mills, was also uninsured. We
understand that neither Mr. Early or Mr..
Van Tassel were insured. The most
melancholy parry of the story however,
remains to be told. Three Irish labor
ers, who worked in the stable of Mr. Muir
ply and lodged there, named Patrick
Dougherry, John Conway and James
Kenaey, in endeavorng to extrica,c the
horses, perished in the flames, and their
bodies were subsequently found, fright
fully disiigured. A boy also, who lodged
in the stable, is missing, supposed so be
burnt. ". Y. Con. d Eng. Of Thurs.
