be well, hawever, for the Senate to enquire
into this matter, or do they pass this over
as beneath their notice?
We next fine another Senator charged
with divers high crimes and misdemeanors
in treaty making and in using the secret
service money. This Senator has made a
speech fill Of hard words which show that
he has boiled over with wrath; but in the
course of that speech he made two unfor.
tunate assertions which happened to be dis
proved on the spot. One was that the
Northeastern treaty defeated the quintuple
treaty in Europe-a considerable meril--
but unfortunately the quintuple treaty was
defeated before the Northeastern or Ashbur-
ton treaty was made. The other asser-
ton was that there were not fifty sensible
in the State Of Maine, who disap-
proved Of the Ashburton treaty. Where
as it appears that there are not fifty sensi-
BILE men in the State who approve it.
Another Senator has declared in the

institutions. According to his notions it is

LOVERS EMBLEMs.

Lovers meetest emblems are the flowers,
The blushing flowers of Spring
Then bring me, dear, to charm my hours,
Sweet leaves and blossoms bring.
! ask not gems Of costly toys
Their brightest ray is cold;
And ours are simpler, Purer joys
Than can be won by gold.
The gems endure, the roses fade,
Yet something in the heart
Still tells that Love is hest portrayed
By nature-nOt by art.
The dews that trembIe on the leaf
Bot make is tints appear
More beautiful than aught so brief
Except Loves smile and tear.
Their odors too, a sweeter bliss
To soul and soul convey
Than aughl beside the early kiss
OF Loves unclOuded day.
Then bring me, dear, to charm my hours
Sweet leaves and blossoms bring;
Loves meetest emblems are the flowers,
The blushihg flowers Of Spring.
