We want that castle. 9s..t-s

We want a speedy and honorable peace, and a
iudicious action of single day in Congress may
give us all these things, for they are all at hand
AS pressing as these wants are there is one that
is not enumerated and which tends more to en-
barrass the government encourage our enemies,
and prolong the war, than any mentioned. 1t is
want of patriotic feeling on the part of some OF
the members OF Congress, who are continually
denouncing their own government, and oy impll'
cation justifying that of Mexico There are men
there who appear 10 rejoice over any calamity 10
our brethren in Mexico, and who seem 10 be

THE BLIND WIFE.

BIZ ALICE C. LEE.
NV head upon thy breast, my love,
NV hand within thine own,
envy not the rich mans wealth,
The Queen upon her throne
In thy caress have a wealth
That knoweth no decay,
And feel that my heart over thine,
Beareth gentle sway.
And such crowd of happy thoughts
Come rushing to my mind,
That for a moment almost
Forget that am blind.
Although have not seen thy face,
know that it is fair;
Pve touched thy forehead broad and high,
And smoothed thy silken hair.
know thine eyes are large and deep:
They rest with love on me;
And, to behold that gentle glance,
sometimes wish to see.
And then the voice that blesses me
Is always soft and kind;
Each word thou speakest tells my soul
Thou hast a noble mind
Oh, till heard that cheering voice,
NV heart was sad and lone:
1t thirsted for one kindly word,
PRAYED for one gentle tone.
seemed born but for misery,
To hear of others JOY,
And feel that in their happiness
might not find employ.
NV life was one eternal night,
Without cheering ray
knew that ages might wear on
Yet never bring the day.
I sometimes wished that death might come
To free me from my woe,
And bring the pappiness sought
While pining here below.
Twas then YOU saw and pitied one
To whom life seemed SO drear,
Who in the past had known but pain
Whose future was all fear.
But hope and JOY came to my heart
When pity grew to love
II seemed that to my darkened soul
Light came as from above.
know not how won that love,
For wild and weak I'd been;
And still did not keep from thee
One secret thought or sin:
But when felt that it was mine,
NV sorrow all was DER;
And though the future may for me
Have evil yetin store
With thee love for my comforter,
NV guardian and my guide,
My life will not be sorrowful
Let good or ill betde.
Then, dearest, clasp my hand in thine,
One kiss upon my brow
! should forget the dreary past
When Pm so happy now.
And do not chde this foolish heart;
feelings alone to thee
From every tie on earth save this,
Full long it has been fee.
