THE COMPROMISE IN SONG.

MIR. Foote in some remarks which he made on
Tuesday, urging the immediate appointment Of his
committee OF thirteen made the following amusing al.
fusion to one of the evidences of the return of conca
tory sentiments in the North:
Sir, before concluding propose, by way of relieving
somewhat the gravity OF discussion, to suggest that
there is something like unanimous public sentiment
upon this question, and upon all material points con-
nected herewith. With view to show this to be the
fact, will read very short extract from what hold
in my hand There was large public meeting the
other day in the city of New York. assembled under the
most interesting auspices and tor highly interesting
purposes 1t birth day celebration, and the as
semblage composed of as intelligent and patr-
otto men ever met together, among whom free in
erchange OF OPINION took place upon various pending
questions.
There seems to have been quite unanimous opinion
touching points, both OF which embraced in the
motion which have had the honor to submit, and for
the consideration OF which have now asked-that is
say the raising OF the committee OF thirteen and the
blending of the measure of Californian admission with
that for the establishment of territorial governments

thus and though somewhat deficient in geographical
accuracy, in sentiment will be found most excellent:

THE WIFE.

She chung to him with woman's love-
Like ivy to the oak;
. While DER his head, with crushing force,
Eartli's chilling tempest broke.
When the world look'd cold on him,
Aud blight hung DER his name
She soothd his cares with woman's love,
And babe him rise again.
When care had furrowed DER his face,
And clouded his Young hours,
She wove among his crcwn of thorns
A wreath of loves own flowers.
And never did that wreath decay,
Or one bright flow'ret wither;
For woman's tears e'er nourished them,
That they might bloom forever.
IT'S ever thus with woman's love,
True till life's storms have passed;
Aud, like the vine around the tree,
+ It braves them till The last.

LABOR.
BY FRANCES s. osGoop.

BY FRANCES s. oSGooD.
Labor is ife-'tis the still water faeth;
Idleness ever despaireth, bewaeth;
Keep the watch wound, for the dark rust assaleth!
Flowers droop and die in the stiffness of noon.
Labor is glory the flying cloud lightens!
Only the waving wing changes and brightens;
Idle hearts only the dark future frightens;
Play the sweet keys, woudst thou keep them in
tune!
Labor is rest-from the sorrows that greetus
: Rest from all petty vexaticns that meet us;
Rest from sin promptings that ever entreat US;
Rest from the world-syrens that lure us to Ill.
Work-ard pure sumber shall wait on thy pillow;
: Work-thou shalt ride over Cares coming bil!ow !;
Lie not down wearied 'neah Woes weeping viii
r.as' low;
Work with a stout heart and resolute will!
Labor is health i-lo! the husbandman reapng,
How through his veins the lfe-current eaping!
How strong his arm in its stawart pride sweeping,
'sa True as the sunbeam the swift sickle guides
Labor is .wealthL-in the sea the pearl growth;
T Rich the queens robe from the pale cocoon flow
eth;
From the 6ne acorn the strong forest bloweth;
Temple and statue the marble black hides.
Droop not, though shame, sin and anguish are
round thee;
Brayely fling off the bold chain that hath bound
a-theei
Look to yon pure heaven smiling beyond thee;
Rest not content nthy darkness clod!
Work-for some good, be it ever SO slowly;
Cherish some flower, be it ever so lowly;
Labor all labor is noble and holy;
Let thy great deeds be thy prayer to thy God.
