Though life has disappointments great
And darken'd times Of gloom

hand the earnings Of week, and his wife
with q sickly babe and two furnishing little
ones, chung to his garments, and besough,
him not to enter. He tore himself away,
for his thurst was strong, and but for the
core Of q stranger, his family would have
persisted.
1--WE went on, and, father, citizen Of
noble air and majestic form decended the
wide steps Of his fine mansion. His wife
put back the curtains, and watched him ca
gerly and wishfnlly as he rode away, she
was very, very lovely, faireF shan any lady
ofthe court, but the shadow Of sad heart
was falling ON her beauty. We saw her
gaze around upon the desolate splendor Of
her saloon. and then clasp her hands in the
wild agony ofdespair. When we returned,
her husband lay helpless on couch, and
she sat weeping beside him.
''Once more we, paused. A carriage
stopped before palace. 1t was rich with
FURNISHED gold, and the armorial bearing of
q duke were visible in the moonbeams.-
We waited for its owner to alight, but he
did not move, and he gave no orders. Soon
the servants came crowding out. Sorrow
fully they lifted him, in their arms, and
saw that some Of the Jewels were torn from
his mantle, and his plumed cap was crushed
and eoiled, as if by the pressure Of many foot
steps. They bore him into the palace, and
wondered if his duchess wept like the
beautiful wife ofthe citizen.

to me. Shall drain. the cup!'
The Duke looked wonderingly upon his
first born, and then, placing his hand grave
ly. yet fondly upon his head answered.
"No. my son, touch 1t not. 1t is poison,
as thy tutor told thee. It fires the brain,
'de7kens she intellect, destroys the SOUL
Put it away from thee, and SO shalt thou
grow up wise and good, a blessing to thy
sell and to thy country"
He glanced round the circle. Surprise
moved by the same impulse, oil arose while
one of their number spoke.
thou hast done nobly, boy. he snid, "and
thy rebuke shall not be forgotten. We have
congratulated thy father upon the acquisi-
ton of honors which may pass with the sea
son. We now congratulate him upon that
best of possessions, son worthy Of France
and of himself"
The naughty courters bowed glowing
assent, and each clasped the hand of the
boy. But the father took him to his heart,
and even now, among the treasured relics
of the family is numbered that silver cup.

Report Of MIR. Benton.

From the Committee appointed to take into
confederation The right Of James Dauis to
seat IN the Senate as a member Fl on, The
counties from Wapello and .ucnroe.
The committee to WHOM was referred q
resolution OF the Senate, passed January
9th, lS46, requiring the appointment Of q
committee to take into consideration the
right of the Hon. James Davis, from the
district composed of the counties Of Wapel-
10 and Monroe, to q seat in this body, have
instructed Inc TO make the following report:
The charges presented againet the hon
orable Senator, were,
LIST. That he had removed from his dis
trict and settled in the town Of Keokuk, in
Lee county, of this State.
I'd. That he had been appointed United
States deputy surveyor, by the surveyor ge-
neral Of the United States, for the State of
Iowa and Territory Of Wisconsin, in which
capacity he would receive some six or seven
hundred dollars for his services.
Sd. That lie mad resigned his seat as
member of this body, and that these several
events had occurred since the adjournment
Of the Legislature last winter.
Your committee are Of opinion, that the
first and second charges were sustained by
the testimony adduced before them.
From the evidence in relation TO the last
charge, however, il appeared that Doctor
Davis did conditionally resign his seat in
the Senate during the past summer-that
he gave his letter of resignation to the Hon
F. b. Bradley, Of jackson county, in June
last, with Instructions to deliver the same
to his Excellency. Gov. Briggs, when he
(Doct. Davis should subsequently advise
him SO to 90; that MIR. Bradley, not having
been thus advised, refrained from delivering.
the letter to the Governor, and still holdsthe
same in his possession, thus clearly showing
that the resignation, though made condition
ally; has not taken effect.
Your committee are Of opinion that the
removal Of member from his county or dis
trict, subsequent to his election and admis-
zion to q seat in the general assembly, does
not disqualify him from holding the same,
and discharging the duties Of his Office.
Though by the 4th section Of the 4th ar
ticle of the constitution, no person can be q
member of the general assembly, who shall
not TAT the time of his election, have been
an actual resident for thirty days, in the
county or district he may be chosen to rep
rescnt," yet il does not appear from tho in
strumeDt that this residence ehali be con
tinued during the cntire term for which lie
has been elected.
Your committee are further Of opinion,
that the fact of Doct: Davis having receive
ed and accepted the Office Of United States
deputy surveyor, and Of his having received
} lucrative consideration for his services az
such, does not dissolve or coDstiiutioncllyl
affect his connection with this body.
5 If the Office in question weso All Office Of
his State, and had been created BY the gen-
;ral assembly since Ids election, and had !.
