trench In every thing but their per diem and
some OF their propositions we hope will be carried
out to their fullest extent. In the House, report

commends that the President be required, in all
cases of removal to communicate his reasons to the
Senate. That the Offices of Second and Third Audi

that the clerks in the Departments be reduced in
NUMBER and IN salaries; that the clerks in the Land
Ofice be reduced also the clerks in the Office of In

TIE NAVY YARD-We understand that a very
large number of workmen have recently been dis
charged from work at the Navy Yard, at Brooklyn
The Secretary of the Navy has felt impelled to do
this, from the evident disposition of Congress to cut
down the Navy appropriations. The persons dis
charged and those dependent on them, are put to
great Inconvenience by this sudden change of policy,
and in some instances, there is severe distress.

Song.
BY o. w. HOLMES.

A health to dear woman! she bids untwine,
From the cup it encircles the fast-chnging
But her cheek in lis crystal with pleasure will
glow,
And mirror its bloom in the bright wave be-
low.
A health to dear woman the days are no
When she watched for her lord till the revel
was o'er,
And smoothed the white pillow, and blushed
when he came,
AS she pressed her cold lips on his forhead of
fame.
Alas for the loved one too spotIess and
fair,
The joys of his banquet TO chasten and share;
Her eve lost its light that his goblet might
shine,
And the rose of her cheek was dissolved in his
wine.
Joy smiles in the fountain, health flows in the
rills,
AS their ribbands Of silver untwine from the
hills;
They breathe not the mist of the bacchanal's
dream,
But the lilies of innocence float on the stream
Then health and welcome to woman once
more!
She brings us a passport that laughs at our
door;
1t is written on crimson-its letters are pearls;
1t is countersigned NATURE-so, room for
the girls!
