u! sing to me one song OF thine,
One song before we part;
That may bear away with me
Its music in my heart.
Let it be gentle one,
A song ofcary joy,
Such as fair-haircd maiden sings
To win her much-oved boy.
o! sing to me the song heard,
The other day, at noon,
When it came to me like a warbling bird,
And ceased Sc short and soon.
Bashfully that song was still,
For started from out the trees;
So the bird is hushed when the bramblc busf
Stirs wirh the passing breeze.
Turn not so tearfully away
Icannot bear to part,
With any thing but hope and joy
In the swelling ofmy heart.
Look up to me with laughing eyes
We shall meet again, ere long;
And then the greeting shall have,
Will be thy gentle song.
So sing to me that song of joy,
That song Of summer bowers,
Murmering like the soft warm breath
Of a south wind over flowers.
will kiss thee as thou warblest on,
My token as part,
And so will bear away with me
Thy music in my heart.

SPIRIT OF LovE.-Beyond all question
1t is the unal'erabie constitution Of nature
that there is efficiency, divine, unspeaka-
bic efficiency in love. The exhibition oil
kindness has the power TO bring even the
irrational animals into subsection. Show
kindness 10 dog, and he will remember
it; he will be grateful; he will inlallibly
return love for love. Show kindness to a
lion. and you can lead him by the name,
you can thrust your head into his mouth /;
and you can melt the untamed ferocily of
his heart into an affection stronger than
death. In all Gods vast, unbouned crea-
ton there is not living and senlient be-
ing, from the least to the largest, not one,
not even the outcast and degraded serpent,
that Is insensible to acts of kindness. IF
love, such as our blessed Saviour nantes.
ted, could be introduced into the world
and exert its appropriate dominion. il,
would restore state of things more chez
ring, far brighter than the fabulous age of
gold; it would pluck every poisonous root;
It would hush every discordant voice
Even The inanimate creation is not inscn.
s'sle to this divine influence. The bud
and flower and fruit put forth most abun-
dainty and beautifully where the hard of
kindness is extended for their culture.
And if this blessed influence should extend
itself over the earth, a moral Garden of
Eden would exist in every land instead
OF the thorn and briar, would spring up the
fg,ree and myrtle the desert would bios
som and the solitary place be made glad.

TUESDAY, Dec. IL lei3
Five ofthe Iowa Indians, at present visiting in the
city, were shown through the Senate Chamber.
Prayers were offered up by ;he Rev. Mr. fusion
The Journal having been read,
Mr.. BENTON delivered brief but eloquent and
chastened tribute to the memory Of the late Senator
LINN. The late LEWIS FIELD LINN he described a,
nativ of Kentucky, and descended from one Of thu
most respectable and distinguished families in thai
State. His grandfather, Colonel w Linn, was ont
OF the earliest adventures in that part Of the country
and there to this day is held in grateful remembrance
his career being marked by courage, enterprise
and many truly heroic achievements. AS early al
the year l776 he, accompanied by few resolute
companions descended the river from Pittsburgh to
New Orleans, and returning in safety, accomplished
navigation in those days considered almost impossi-
blc ~, la sa.f. a,
Mr.. BEKToS, after speaking in the most fatterpg
terms Of the father and mother Of the Doctor turned
TO the immediate subject Of his culogy and described
him one who, in private, professional and political
life, secured and held fast to himthc esteem Of all
His professional abilities were not only known in his
native country but acknowledged in the leading cap
itals of Europe. He was, said the honorable gentle
man, my friend, but speak not the language of
friendship when speak his praise. He was party
man, true to his party to his friend and his
try-but the debate over-the vote once given
no outer sign of party remained then the only
passport to his esteem was private worth.
Mr.. BENTON then moved that the usual tribute of
respect be paid by the members Of the Senate to the
memory Of Doctor LINN and that the Senate do now
adjourn
Previous to the putting of the question,
Mr.. CRITTENDEN rose to offer his most sincere
and hearty concurrence with the proposed resolution
After the eloquent and interesting tlibute which all
had listened TO with unfeigned sympathy and atten
tiot, he 81 ould be exceedingly cautious lest by any
observation he should mar its efect-but taking moth

not resist claiming for his honored State the addi-

described the death Of Dr. LINN of regret
to all. He spoke Of his frank and manly manner,
his warm and benevolent smile that shone forth as
the sunshine Of the heart. His whole course here,
said Mr. Crttenden, and he was much and often
mixed up in the debate was characterized by cour-
tesy which formed polished and impenetrabIe ar
NOR that guarded him against animosity-a courtesy
which disarmed i'll nature, and made his political OPP
ponents his warmest friends.
The resolution was then agreed to, and the Senate
