The ACTION OF rnE CoMMITrEE.-Ion, of
the Baltimore Sun gives the following as the
result Of the deliberations Of the special Com.
inittee ofthirteen. He says it was agreed to
unanimously on Thursday last 1t is known
however, that Senators Dickinson, Berrien anl
Mason were all in Charleston on that day:
= There are to be but three bills, as under.
stand. The first bill embraces California, the
Territorial governments, and the Texan propo-
sition, thus disposing of all these topics in one
act.
-, The second bill alters and amends the fugi.
tive slave act of 1877, in such manner as to
give effect to the Constitutional provisions on
the. sebiect, and at the same time to comply
with the reasonable feeling and opinion of the
Northern people. The provisions are simple
and efficient.
The third bill extends the law of Maryland,
as it existed five years ago, over this District,
and by the provisions of the same, the slave
marts of this District will be broken up, and the
Introduction of slaves for sale prohibited.
4 Here is the California scheme. 1t was agreed
to unanimously -at least no dissent was ex-
pressed by any of the committee. am Conf
dent that it will be supported by two-thirds of
the South.

Perhaps So.
Com(orted with this assurance. the lady

Who shall tell the worth of health2
Who can prize the valued blessing2
Better than the untold wealth,
All the misers soul possessing.
Wealth will bring its weight and care,
Doubts and dangers as its share,
On the weary spirit pressing.
Oh how priceless is the boon!
Nothing its delight can measure
Let it be denied-how soon
Man will tire Of scenes of pleasure
Health alone can give US zest,
All who feel its power are blest,
lis itself the hearts one treasure
Look at him who tolls for Fame!
Ere its time his head was hoary,
That, through future years, his name
Bright may gild his country's story;
Yet, when all his tolls are DER,
Health and Peace he knows no more,
Such, alas, is Human Glory.
When the light of health has fed,
And no more its hues are glowing
When around Lifc's slender thread
Dark Disease its spell is throwing-
Then it Is, and then alone,
That its value can be known,
Choicest gift Of Heavens bestowing!
When in sickness we have pined
Still to health our hopes were clinging
Oh how often to the mind
We.its scenes and joys were bringing
All but us enjoy the day,
All around seem bright and gay,
And we hear glad voices ringing
When the slow and lingering chime
Der the spirit sends chillncss-
AS we mark the sands of Time
Falling in the hours of illness
Oh how sweet upon our ears
Come the sound of happier years,
Breaking on the midnight Stiffness
