/ The GREEK LADY.-Her hair, black as the
raven, falls far down over her shoulders,
long, glossy, and free; her eye, of same ex-
presive hue, floats large and full of soul; her
lips, slightly apart, ard rich in dye as the cleft
| pomegranate, seem only to betray deeper
gush of that Vermion which melts so deli
cately through the soft oval Of her cheek; her
smooth and upright forehead, with the small
ear, and well turned head, are in harmony
with the graceful curve of the neck; while
her shoulder and chest, with the swelling
beauty of her bosom, are rather shaded than
concealed by the thin gauze Of her cymatT.
From the slender waist, and fuller develop
ments of her form, the eye drops to a small
ankle and foot, which lend an air of light
ness and ease to each attitude and motion.
Would that the mystic thread of her destiny
were interviewer with ours! But shall we
forget the gentle being who dwells on the
green banks Of our native stream! The one
who alone wept at the parting word, and
blushed thatshe betrayed her tears! No. This
heart still turns to her, as the eye of the pill
grim to his vesper star! How strange and in-
explicable is our nature! The root of afFec-
ton, once struck deeply into its substanc e,
lives on through every blight and change!--.
It's buds may Wither, its leaves may fall, bur
the radical fbres of the mangled shoot st
drink vitality from the heart. One moment
of surrendered thought, and this aIlured
spirit flies back to that murmuring stream, its
verdant shore, its twilight softness, and the
lifted face of that enchanting one. whose
evening hymn ever mingles its melodious as
pirations with the homage of nature. Sweet
worshipper! may He who hath penciled the
leaves with beauty, given the flowers their
bloom, and lent music to the lay of the timid
bird, hear thy prayer for the ornaments of a
meek and quiet spirit, and graciously remen-
Der thee in that day when he shall number
up his jewels, -PhilG. NORTH american.

THE NFYT c0N7RFsS.

Fourteen States have already elected re-
representatives. of the twenty-seventh congress
% the aggregate number Of one hundred and
forty-four members Ofthese, according to
the Madisonian, eighty.four are friends to
the administration Of Gen. Harrison and sixty
are supposed to be in the opposition. Ninety
eight representatives are yet to be chosen
from twelve other States in which elections
for members of the next Congress have not
been held. These twelve States are New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vir-
pinia, Maryland, North Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana
and Illinois. In some of these States the
time for special election has been designa
ted in the view of an extra session of Con-
gress.
These twelve States are now represented
by forty-eight members friendly to the new
administration, forty-eight opposed. and two
uncertain.
If the relative strength of the two parties
should remain unchanged by the result OF
the approaching elections, Gen. Harrison,s
administration WillhaVe majority oftWenty-
two in the House of Representatives. The
probability, however, is strong that the wings
will gain considerable accession from the
returns of the special elections. Gen. Har-
rlsonsS popularity appears 20 % greater lndn
ever. and the confidence of the people in his
and patriotic intentions is growing
stronger and stronger, The necessity, too,
of a great reform is becoming every day
more paIpable. These considerations induce
the belief that all the energy, power and sue
cess which marked the progress of the Har-
rison and Reform party in the Presidential
canvass will still continue with them. To
this end due exertion will be made. II is
important that the new administration chosen
by the people should have their powerful
support in Congress.-Bah. Amer.
