IDLE DAUGHTERS. Il is, says Mrs Ellis, u most
painful spectacle in families, where the mother is
the drudge, to see the daughters elegantly dressed
reclining at their ease, wife their drawing their
music, their fancy work, and their reading be-
guing themselves of the lapse of hours, days aud
weeks, and never dreaming Of their responsible
ties but as necessary consequence Of the neg
ecl of duty growing weary of their useless lives,
and laying hold OF every newly-nvented s,imu-
liant to rouse their dropping energies, and blaming
their fate, when they dare not blame their God,
Tor having placed them where they are.
These individuals will enen tell you, with an
air OF affected compassion--for who can believe il
real that "poor, dear mamma is working herself
10 death" Yet, no sooner do you propose that
they should assist her, than they declare she is
quite in her elenent--in short, that she would
never be happy if she had only half as much TO do.

BBATH EVENING
by GEO. d. PRENTICE.


How calmly sinks the parting sun
Yet twilight fingers still,
And beautiful as dreams of heaven,
1t SAUNDERS TN the hill.
Earth sleeps with all her glorious things,
Beneath the Holy Spirits wings,
And rendering back the hucs above,
Seems resting in trance Of love.
Round yonder rock the forest trees,
In shadowy groups recline,
Like nuns at evening bowed in prayer,
Around the holy shrine.
And through their leaves the night winds blow,
SO calm and still--their music low,
Seems the mysterious voice of prayer,
Soft echoed on the evening air.
And yonder western throng of clouds,
Retiring from the sky,
So calmly move as softly glow,
They seem to flncy's eye,
Bright creatures of better sphere
Come down AZ noon to worship hero,
And from their sacrifice of love,
Returning to their homes above.
The blue isles of the golden sea,
The night arch floating high,
The flowers that gaze upon tina heavens,
The bright streams leapng by,
Are living with religion-deep
On earth and sea its glories sleep,
And mingle with the starlight rays,
Like the soft light of parted days.
The spirit Of the holy eve
Comes through the silent air,
To feelings hidden spring, and wakes
A gush of music there.
And tho fair depths of ether beam
So passing fair, we almost dream
That we can rise and wander through
The open paths Of tTackless blue.
Each soul is filled with glorious dreams,
Each pulse is beating wild,
And thought is soaring to the shrine
Of glory undefled.
And holy aspirations start
Like blessed Angels from the heart,
And bind-for eaTth's dark ties are Iiyon--
Our spirits 10 the gates of Heaven.

CONGRESS-.

On Wednesday the consideration of the APP
porlionment bill was resumed, and the amend
ment OF Mr.. Halsted was debated by Messrs.
Slanly, Goggen, and Colquiu The first men
toned gentleman advocated the amendment,
and the two last opposed it. The speeches
especially that Of the last member were diver
siied by digressons on the relative policy of the
district and the general ticket systems. The
main point Of the discussion was the constitu-
tional right of Congress to interfere with the
manner of holding elections in the States .as
proposed by the amendment offered by the di-
rection of the Committee on Elections.
The debate was further continued by Messrs.
Arnold, Davis, of Kentucky, Summers, and j. G.
Floyd, of N. Y, on the question, both direct
and incidental, as above stated.

THE NEW SET OF BOOKS.

The Globe is making noise about Mr.. Web
ster's "new set Of books" The Globe knows
well enough that the five clerks who opened
them made false entries and fed. Yet there
were no Swartwouts, Prices, &c. among them
We ask the Globe what extravagance the Exc
cutive has been guilty off The conduct OF
Congress is different matter. The Executive
is as much and as unjusty opposed by the ultras
in Congress as it is gratuitously abused by the
Globe. All we do remember piece of ex.
to say the least Of it. We allude to
the printing of the Census. Mr.. Weaver, clerk
in the State Department. (nnt appointed by Mr..
Webster) contracted to give it to the editor of
the Globe, and the Globe agreed to give Mr.
Weaver several thousand dollars for the job.
This is all to come out of the Treasury. But
will the Globe have it entered in Mr.. Webster's
"new set Of books 2"

TYPOGRAPHICAL.

They must have most miserable printers in
the United States Gazette office The frag-
ment of our article in that paper Of Tuesday, was
outrageously butchered We beg the editor to
print the concluding sentence again, 10Th his
comments. They made nonsense OF it. The
grammar king" himself could not object to its
correctness of photography and punctuation, as
it appeared in the Madisonian.
We are daily misprnted designedly-ma-
liciously-by some of our unprncipled enemies,
and then they say we write nonsense" etc.
But we do not believe the editor of the Gazette
capable of resorting to any such trickery. Be
sides we have several hundred subscribers in
Philadelphia.

ENGLISH ARMY.

From the Army estimates, moved in the
House Of Commons, by Sir Henry Harding, Sc
cretary at War on the 9Th of March last, we col
lect the following account of the present amount
and distribution of the British military force:
The number of officers non-commis stoned officers,
and rank and file which it was proposed to maintain
for the service of the United Kingdom Of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland Exclusive of the troops employed in
the East Indles,) for the ensuing year was IS, SIS
The number employed in the East Indies, and paid
by the East India Company, was 70 GAO; so that the
total amount Of force for the ensuing year would be
l22 56S men This number was composed of lOS, Oob
rank and file 5S05 officers, and S,674 non-commis-
stoned officers. There was therefore, addition to
the force for this year compared with last year Of
,447 men. This increase was accounted for in the
following manner; The Royal Canadian Regiment
amounted to 100 men, the st Helena corps to 430
and there had also been an augmentation OF the ID
West India Regiment amounting to $780, making a
total of 76U men in addition the estimate of last
year but, after deducting about 600 men, which de-
crease would arise from the working Of the depots
planned in the second page of the votes the real IN
crease appear, to be about 100 men, The pressure
on the troops for the last four years had been SUCH
that he thought it necessary that means should I've de-
vsed for relieving them. There were 80 haltallshs
of infantry abroad in addition to 20 in New South
Wales in India, and in China. The tot% number
was l03 leaving only % at home. IL was impossible
that the 25 at home could carry the relief of the 70
abroad, AZ of which were serving n-ropical climates,
w hen the revolution in Canada broke out in 1887,
there were only nine batta ions 500 men strong, in
North America, and now l9 were there, exclusive of
two bataIlons OF Guards and the Royal Canadian
Regiment, 900 men strong. In India, New South
Wales, and China, there were now % battalions in
stead of IS This was an increase of Ia battalions
more than existed four years ago. Looking, there
fore, to the state of relies, the committee would,
doubtless be of opinion that it necessary by some
expedient TO remedy this state of things. He there
fore proposed to the Government that Of the de-
pots should be increased six companies of 100 men
each, and that they should be sent abroad TO SIX
healthy stations; for insiaDce-to Gibraltar Bermu-
da, Halifax, or Quebec, or the Mediterranean, and
that there they should take the garrison Duty the same
| as the service companies.

DUTIES TO THE COUNTRY.

No matter what party may be in the ascendancy
or who may be the incumbent Of the Executive char
the honor and welfare of the country require that ali
the wise and wholesome measures Of the Administra
ton should be sustained. The obligations under
which we lie to our common country can never be
rghtfully superseded by any other alliances and the
duties which they impose never be cancelled by
any mere party services which we render.
There is a moral sense in the community which re-
quires every and every party TO look TO the public
good and which will visit an abandonment of this
duty with reproach and sorrow No apparent sue
cess in disregard of this principle ultimately avail
its authors. 1t will be acquisition that in the end
will turn to ashes 1t will be expedent which will
inevitably return to plague its inventors. Every wise
and salutary measure which administration may
propose, and which political hostility party dscip
line may crush, will have in its very ruins self-re-
dressing and avenging power. True wisdom lies in
sustaining the right, without the slightest regard
object OF private or party interest No purposes can
advance successfully by steps which enlightened
and liberal candor pronounces wrong. Let, then, the
great obligations of patriotism take their proper place
and exert their rghlful control These obligations,
If obeyed, will pave the way 10 success where il is
merited and frown upon it where it is not There is
virtue in pure and lofty motives which always re-
deems its trust. There is a Providence that shapes
our ends rough hew them how we may"

From The Portsmouth (Mdss.) Memorial
MIR. CLAY AND THE PRESIDENCY.

We regret to perceive that a concerted effort is
making in different ions Of the country to bring
forward MIR. Clay the next Wing candidate for the
Presidency, This movement is very ill-timed and
premature, and can be Of no service either to Mr.
Clay the Wing party 1t is altogether too soon to
agitate the nomination for the Presidency before the
present incumbent of that Office has fairly entered
upon the second year of his term and it is certainly
the part of prudence to wait the action of events,
before the party is pledged to any Presidential can
ddate. The vigorous efforts which are already made
in certain quarters to bring Mr.. Clay into the field,
look like attempt to forestall public opinion and
to force him upon the party under every contingency
The personal friends Of Dir. Clay must, however, re-
member that the Wings profess devotion to the inter-
ests of the country, and that the claims of any man.
however great they may be, are of little moment in
comparison with the advancement of those interests
The premature nomination of Mr.. Clay in some
quarters, has called forth from the Madisonan the
following article.

THE Observation-Disclosures
LEGISLATION.

The Apportonment bill was supposed to be
on the verge of settlement, when Mr.. Halsted
started the new question which has originated
the debate in which the House is now engaged.
Though the discussion is one calculated to
elicit probably many novel views on the CON
struction Of the Consttution-which must prove
inleresting--yet as it tends to retard a deci-
sion of the main question, of the apportionment
of the Representatives, we deprecate its in
ception, and still more its prolongation. Ifevery
important subject-and tlEre are many which
must engage the attention Of the present Con-
gress-is fated TO be clogged with incidental
questions-nop powers of foresight can predictthe
final settlement ofany them. Weregret, under
all circumstances, the exertlon OF an ingenuity
which delights in agglomerating topic on topic,
and refuses 10 view one subject unless relieved
by others in the back ground but if the move
made in the House is, as reported, but the die
tate of secret caucus, it becomes the duty of
every patriot to resist the discussion Of which
there is no probable termination, and urge the
decision of the main questionable apporton-
ment We have had too much caucus legisa-
tion-i is time to strangle that anti-republican
system.

THE TYSON REJECTION.

We owe deep apology to Mr.. Buchanan,
for our omission of his name on yesterday in
our editorial, headed, "Tyson's Rejection
In pairing off the delectables of the Senate, we
overlooked his name, and thereby neglected to as
sign him politial bed-fellow We fear that in
this we have done him greatinjustice, as he might
have preferred Mr.. Mangum, or Crtlenden, or
some equally extreme ultra, whose language
and feelings, and sentiments, would have been
more agreeable-but he must excuse US upon
our assuring him, that no disrespect was in
tended him, and allow US for the sake Of
better consor, and ally, to pair him of with Mr..
Clayton, ofDelaware. To the fraternity, then,
which figures in such close CO nmunion in the
vote on Mr.. Tyson, we add
