A maiden stood,
n

A maiden stood,
In thoughtful mood,
rfr.t. Beside a mountain stream;
Her heart went pit, and then went pat,
So strangely-you would reason that
s She must be in dream.
And at her side,
In manly pride,
A youth was whispering low;
S His heart went pat, and then went PIT,
So strangeIy-you would think that it
Could never futter SO.
A willing ear,
A trickling tear,
Was all the maiden gave;
While hearts went pit, and then went pat,
So strangely-you would reason that
The subject must be grave.
An instant more,
All doubt was DER,
A voice from heaven above
Had soothed each pitting patting heart.
Declared they never more should part,
And-'twas the Dawn Of Love.

lington Gazette says that an organiza-
ton had not been affected on the
10th day, which looks like mistake.
We have not, at any rate, received the
proceedings, including the ballotings for
Speaker, later than the 18th. The Mes
sage would not be delivered, of course,
until the two Houses were organized
and ready to receive 1T. We shall have
the Message next weet, unless the House
conclude to spend the winter ballo,ing
for their presiding officer, as they now
seem disposed 10 do.

n On Wednesday last, while anx-
iously waiting for the Message, fngi-
tive sheet headed Hawk-Eye-Extra,"
.purporting to contain the Presidents
Message, by some means found its way
into our possession. II was done we
presume, at the Sentinel Office in Fair
field, and was intended In all likelihood,
by the b'hoys of that establishment as a
most excellent hoax. A hoax it will un-
disputably prove to somebody-no less a
person we imagine than the one who
pays for composition, press-work and pa
per. Save your dimes, friend Sentinel;
you might need them to pay for more le-
climate composition on your paper -
Quite too high for the whistle this time.
