THE RETURN.


came to the home ofmy infancy hack,
When the sun in his pride was beaning-
And the clouds as they pnssedo'er his golden track
Caught the light Of his footsteps cleaning
And the springs soft breath, as it wandered by,
Passed awhile DER each flowret's cell:
And fragrance awoke at the well known sigh
From the trance OF his wintry spell;
But he stepped the leaves ere he flew away
With his own rich balm for summers day.
flew to the verdant and Silly GLADE,
To the green and fower-clad hiH
Where bliihely my feet IN childhood straycJ,
Fair children there were gamboling still
But oh not the group Of my early years. ...
And my breath came thicky and fast,
AS felt how lfes path is through sorrow and tears,
And that Of that group was the last. ..-
lsought my own bower-my loved trees were dead;
And the birds that once sang in their had Ne
A wanderer I'd beeni in search after wealth,
But like dull dreamer at last came:
was shi2wrecked in hope was bankrupt in health
And no voice that knew breathed my name
Isroed to the churchyard-my bosom sweed
AS thought on those innocent days;
When my tiny hand in my mothers held,
She had led me to prayer and praise
1stood by her grave, then in speeches. pain
Sailed forth to the land Of the stranger again.

OGcc-seekers tn Teras.-The class of loaiers known
by the name Of oficeseekers, do not seem to be
fined to any particular soil or climate. They have
penetrated TO that land Of promise and Of plenty,
Texas if we may credit the following from the Hous-

Pennsylvania objections may be made
to the constitution, adopted by small majority
Of votes at the late election in Pennsylvania, there is
feature of the instrument which will more than
balance almost any possible fault il may possess. It
takes away from the Governor the very extensive
power Of appointment which has made the Office in
interested view worth struggling for and which has
hitherto enlisted cohorts Of expectan Office eeekers in
struggles to elect their candidates, and thus provide
office for themseves--N. Y. SUa. ..;-. g., ...
Pennsyluania.-lt appears after ALL that the amend.
ed constitution Of Pennsylvania has been adopted by
the people. The vote stood ll7,3i5 for the amend
ments, and ll5,77S against them--majorty 1881
The constitution makes very material alterations
in the Of appointments, diminishing to grea,
extent the patronage of the governor by giving the
Senate participation in the appointing power, and
also throwing the election Of many Of the county Of
ccrs into the hands Of tho people. Some Of the Loco
Foco organs in that State are considerably troubled
at this result, they feel that it adds much the
Wing strength Indeed, one of their papers Ghe Phil
adelphia American Sentinel declared before the
election, that if the amendments were adopted the
State was forever lost to Van Buren," The sequel
will prove this declaration true. '-'
