rmE WINTER HEARTH.

The summer day is bright and long,
With beamng sun and azure sky;
Rich in varieties OF song,
And flowers that lure the $i,.erily;
Yetit has not the heartfelt mirth,
Which flows around the Winter Hearth.
The world has many seeming joys,
Tha, tempt the truant heart to roam,
But its chill breath the dream destroys,
And turns it back again TO home.
There aie no dearer ties on earth
Than meet around The Winter Hearth.
There, kindred souls are glowing near,
And kindred smiles are fondly given,
Thcy seem so bright when all is drear,
They raise the grateful heart 70 Heaven;
aud holy is the simple mirih,
Which flows around the Water Hearth.

limitations and restrictions | will advise you
more fully of the details Of the bill as soon as it
has passed the senate. Should this bill become a
law, it will result in another very considerable re-
ducton Of state Indebtedness in very short Pc

slowly to he sure, yet cautiously and wisely, di-
minishing the state debt and using all reasonable
means TO snatch our beloved Illinois from her de-
graduation and ruin, and restore her to that elevated

read and many Of its provisions discussed in a
calm and judicous manner, by tho friends Of the
bin. To-day it has been again brought Up, and
Mr.. Browning, of Quincy, offered an amendment,
by striking out all after the enaciing clause, AMI
inserting a new bill. The bill and amendment
were laid upon the table, and the amendment or
dercd to be printed for the use Of the members.

P90300J0, who are to take all The debts, proper
ty, &c, and the canal itself, and complete it, with
very extraordinary and extensive powers. /! has
not yet become sufficiently understood to Judge
with what favor it will meet. The original bill
has been 50 amended as to protect the rights of
the holders Of scrip that, if the bill passe. in the
form it now is in, the holders Of this canal scrip
will be fully protected. This may create some
embarrassment in the formation and future opera
