In the Senate, to-day, a message was receiv.
ed from the President, communicating the trea.
ty of peace concluded between the United
States and Mexico.
Mr.. Allen submitted a resolution for the con.
sideration Of the Senate, calling upon the
President for information as to whether the &C.
tive operations of the army in Mexico, had
been suspended by the armistice, and ifso, BY
what authority.
Allen also submitted a resolution for the
consideration OF the Senate instructing the
Judiciary Committee to inquire whether the
ant OF 1913 requires amendment for the more eff
iectaal punishment Of persons in the army for
holding correspondence in time of war.
Also, a resolution r%eviving the injunction of
secrecy upon all private Executive business.
Also, a resolution recommending a private
session to take into consideration the treaty. of
peace.
On motion the Senate then went into Exc
cutive session.
The senate having spent some time in Exc
cutlve session, the doors were opened and the

MIR. Cass gave notice that he would ask leave

order to continue the debate thereon.
Mr.. Mason said that he thought circumstan-
ces had occurred lately which rendered the
further discussion of that subject unnecessary.
lie hoped the debate would now cease.
Mr.. Cass remarked that he desired the i'm
mediate vote upon the bill as further delay
might prove fatal.
Mr. Mason replied that if the passage of the
bill was Necessary, by tomorrow the necessity
would be greater than ever.
MIR. Douglas gave notice that to morrow he
would ask leave to introduce a bill relating to
the establishment Of the Territory of Nebras-
kie.
Mr.. Allen moved to take up the resolutions
which he had previously offered, calling on

which was agreed to, and the %resolu-
was passed by yeas Al, nays 9.

Nor was Mary alone in her expression of
pleasure. The younger sisters and brothers
were in raptures at the idea of having a Ga
zette that was all their own to read = and
even Mrs. Rivers, who was not of a very lit
erary turn, remarked, on the occasion, that a
newspaper was AN excellent thing among
children and that, for her pari, she always
liked 10 read a little in them now and then,
especially in That part containing recipes and
other domestic matters. Not for a long time
had Mr.. Rivers done anything that gave such
universal satisfaction at home. Even though
he couldn't afford it, he was very far from
repPn,ing Of this act of extra liberality.
Many weeks did moi pass before another
magazine and another newspaper came TO the
house, and before six months, Mr.. Rivers
was as liberal a patron OF periodical literature
as Mr.. Tompkins, and this although he could
not afford it,.
A year or two have passed, hut notwith-
standing the heavy additional expense Of
twenty dollars per annum for magazines and
newspapers, the mercantile community have
not yet been startled by an announcement Of
the failure Of Mr.. Rivers, and we hope never
will-at least not so long as he takes the
magazines and newspapers and pays for them
punctually.

POETRY.
From the Gospel Banner.
Thoughts by a Mothers Grave.

I'm Standing by thy grave, mother,
Where thou art sleeping now
And the hand Of grief is on my heart,
And a ;hrobbing in my brow.
For the eve is closed In death, mother,
That beamed on me of yore,
And the gentle tones OF a mothers voice
They greet my ears no more.
The chill, damp winds Of night, mother,
Are moaning slowly past,
And over every leaf and flower
Tho autumn sere Is cast;
But my spirit heedeth not the gloom
Around thy lowly bed,
While i, feels that thou art sleeping there,
With the sod above thy head.
Earth's fairest hopes were mine, mother,
And lured my spirit on
But like the springs untimely flowers,
They're faded all, and gone.
And my sad heart now turns TO thee
Thy lowly grave | seek,
And converse hold with the sleeper there
While the tears roll down my cheek.
Oh | remember well, mother,
The sunny days of youth,
When my heart was cheered by a mothers
love,
In all its light ard truth!
And in fancy now those days RETURN
seem TO see again
A mothers form and a mothers smile,
And tho home that blessed me then.
And though, since thou vert laid to rest,
Long years have wearied on,
Thine image still is in my breast,
And it never will be gone.
And the gentle tones Of thy loved voice,
! seem TO hear them now;
And to feel thy kiss upon my check
Thy hand upon my brow.
IT'S said that after death, mother,
Our spirits linger near
The scenes which tFey had loved on earth
The friends who there were dear.
Blest thought ! then thou art near me now
Thine arm is round me thrown;
And though grief is gnawing at my heart,
bear it not alone.
Would I were by thy side, mother,
Would | were sleeping there,
For I'm weary Of the world,
Its sorrows and its care ;
And | long to go and be at rest
My spirit signs for home
To be with thee in the spirit-land,
Where sorrows never come.
Dear mother, | must leave thee now,
But | cannot say farewell,
For | feel that thou wilt still be near,
Wherever | may dwell.
And, though unseen, thy gentle eye
Will ever beam on me,
Till leave this world of grief and care,
And dwell for aye with thee.

FARMERS WIVES IN OLDEN TIME.-The
duties of farmers wives in England, in old
en- times were somewhat different than is at
present the case in this country. In the
reign of Henry VIII, Sir A. Fitzherbert wrote
a treatise entitled "a Prologue for the
"yyes occupation in which he says:
iii is a wyve's occupation TO winnow all
manner Of comes, TO make malte, TO washe
and wryngO, to make heye, shere corne, and,
in time of nede, to help her husband TO FIJI
the muck wayne, or dounge cart, or DRIVE
the ploughe, to lode heye, corne, and such
other, and go to and ryde to the market, 10
sell butter, cheese, mylke, egges, chekyns,
caPons, h%ennes, pygges, gese, and all man.
ner Of cornes."
