EXTRAORDINARY DEVELOPMENTS. We learn
from the St. Louis Republican that some ex-
traordinary developments were made before
the Iowa Legislature, on the 10th inst, toucIl-
ing the election of the two U. S. Senators to
be chosen. 1t appears that Mr.. King, a Wing
member Of the House, rose from his seat and
stated;
Mr.. Marshall, lawyer from Lee county,
had been negotiating with him, from the Sc
cond day Of the session up TO that time, to vote
for Gen. Dodge-lhat his first offer was suit
of clothes and $500 in cash, which was Incroas.

on Tuesday Marshall gave him fifteen dollars
''to bind the rgain"-which he (king) by the
advice of friends took. These are the leading
facts. When King took his scat, Clifton and

Oh! lay not her loneliness under the sod,
When life's silver cord shall have parted;
The frame Of the lutte when the music's with Gsd--
The gentle girl now broken hearted
Would ye that the worms Of the valley should prey
On the lips once like roses above her?
Or rather the Fire King wait her away,
Forever, ia free air, to hover?
Then of amber and wood Of the sandal tree rear
All fragrant the funeral pyre;
For sure there is nothing Of darksome or drcar
In the shadowless Spirit Of Fire :.
Oh beautiful he Isl and hath not his peers
In the eements-he IL their master!
Tohim give her bighted bloom dcwI with our tears,
And he, though he burn, will not blast her 1!
She shall scorch, like the lily she looks, in his BREATH
But paly, and pure, and pertaining,
His arms shall her beauty unblemished cnwrea,h,
And even refine whilst consuming.
Ye will find that when clouds which conceal her
unfold,
She hath fed in her rich robes of burning!
But CLEAN from the smouldering pile and when cold
Give the ashes splendid inurning!
And oft as the evening star chastens the blush
OF sunset that brightens beneath her,
Yc will deem it her heart, which its soft fires flush,
That paptates in the pure ether!

With every joy we haste to meet,
In hopefulness or pride,
There comes, with step as sure and fleet,
A shadow by its side;
And ever thus that spectre chill
With each fair bliss has sped.
Aud when the gIadden'd pulse shall thrill,
The stricken heart lies dead.
The Poets brow the wreath entwincs-
What weight falls on the breast?
Upon that sword where glory shines
The stains OF life-blood rest.
So, where the rosiest sunbeam CLOVIS,
There lies eternal snow!
And Fame its brightest halo throws,
Where death lies cold below.
