THE MASTER HAND.

BY MRS. NORTON. And dost thou say my heart is cold, Because thine eye cannot discover (As round it's jealous glance is rolled On glittering erowds) one welcome loyer' And dost thou think l cannot love, Because thy suit my lips reprove Oh valueless the wind-harps tone,
 Which, swept by summers careless bfcezcs, Gives forth q wild, uncertain moan,
 As often az the zephyr pleases, Who marks its faint and careless sigh Once heard, il hath no melody But when the stricken Tyre, which long Hath hung upon the wall dccaying, Breafhes out it's soul otlove and song
 Obedient 10 the mnstrel's playing, And to it's masters touch alone Responds with loud and painive tone,--- Then, then the power of music breaks
 The spell that bound our calmcr feeling, And every sumhering passion wakes
 In answer to it's wild appealing, Ill our swollen hearts. too full for words, Die trembling on those qnverng chords. Years bring no change Even though we stan Where cold the mnstrel's form is lying, Fancy shall see that skilfu hand
 Once more among the sweet strings flying: And muslc s floating notes sbaii come, To mock the silence Of the tomb. And many an hour and many day,
 Shall memory please herself by bringing Small scattered fragments of the lay
 That hung upon that wild harp's ringing Though summer breeze carcss in vain, And soulless hands awake no strain Even so the heart that sad and cold,
 Warns not beneath thy careless wooing, Hath known loves powers in days of old,
 And Worshipped-to its own undoing; And many passion, quiet now, Hath glowed upon my faded brow. And still, perchance, the day may come,
 When, from it's halls of silence taken That heart in it's deserted home.
 To life and love and joy shall waken If hath the music at command But thine is not the masters hand

ROWDYISNI IN cONCRESc

The Petersburg lntellgencer speaking of the
recent disgraceful scenes in the House of Repre-
sentatlves OF the United States, says-sIt is mos,
extraordinary that the House of Representatives
has not been compelled. by fear of the indirna.
ton of the People, if not by self-respect and a
sense OF decency, to adopt some method of pre-
venting repetition of these scenes, which so
much impair its dignity in the estimation of the
decent portion Of the American People. One
most efhcIent mode Of preserving due decorum
would be that of closing the grog-shops IN the
basement story of the Capitol.
1t may not be known to all our readers tha,
there are several reectOries in the basement story
oil the Capitol, in which all kinds OF spiriuous Ii.
quors are sold. 1t is true that a iaw has beon
passed prohibiting the sale of such articles in the
OaP'tol' and allowing no drink stronger than
wine ana matt liquors to be sold but this law is
evaded the whiskey bottle is labelled Pale
Sherry and The brandy bottle /" Brown Sherry. >,
and so often are these descriptions Of heyru ask.
cd Tor that If one wanting the genuine article
calls for either Pale or Brown Sherry. tho b,,-
Keeper would be sure in the first instance to offer
him either whiskey or brandy, and only give him
the wine when an explanation had satisfied him
that it was really wanted.
In these subterranean regions the foundations
OF the rows in the House are laid Having GOT
drunk below stairs, the LAWMAKERS of the land
seek the Hall of the House of Representatives as
bt arena for the display of thor feats of ROW.
DYIsM.
since the above was written we see that Mr.
keding has introduced resolution 10 remove the
res'aura'eWs from the Capitol, and to forbid the
sale Of sPiri'uous liquors in the Capitol, and the
grounds adjacent.

1.-THE FAIR PROPOSITION"

we commence in this paper the publication Of
series oil numbers from the Richmond Wing,
under the above head. giving history of the
Bank question, and its counexon with parties.
TO which we invite the deliberate attention of all
our readers. These numbers are to be followed
by others Of like character, in reference to the
iarlii question. The facts they embody are all
drawn from authentic and reliable sources, and
The most rigid scrutiny into their perfect fairness
and accuracy is challenged.
The Wing has bantered the Richmond Enoui.
rcr, again and again, to copy them for the bened,
oi It's readers and has promised in to pub
liSf any replies, Of equal length, which the En-
quirer may make to them. Thus far, however.
The Enquirer has made no response to the propo-
sition.
