A Tower OF SkUiLs.-Lamartine. in

follows:
When was about league from Mss,

OF Servia, saw a large tower rising up in
the midst of!he plain as white as Parian mar

sired Turkish lad who accompanied me to
hold my horse. And sat down under the
shade OF the tower to enjoy a few moments
repose.-No sooner was | seate than rails,

that the wals,whch supposed TO be built oil
marble or of regular rows Of white Stone were
composed of regular rows Of human skull.
bleached by rain and sun, and cemenied By
a little sand and lime, formed entirely the
triumpha arch which now sheltered me from
the burning sun.
In some places portions OF hair wsro still
hanging, and waving like lichen or moss
with every breath OF wind. The mountain
breeze was blowing fresh, penetrating tht
numerous cavities Of the skulls, aud sound

were the skulls of fifteen thousand Servan

"when l. aud all those that hear me- shall have gone
o our last home, and when the mould may have gather
ID on our memories, II will he tombs. ."-WrB-
'TrR's Speech In the Senate, July, 1850.
The mould upon thy memoryl No,
Not while one note Is rung
or those divine, immortal songs
Milton and Shakespeare sung:
Not till the night of years enshrouds
The Anglo Saxon tongue.
No let the food of Time roll on,
And men and empires die;
Genius enhroned on lofty heights
Can its dread course defy,
And, here on earth, can claim the gift
or immortality:
Can save from that Lethcan tide
That sweeps so dark along,
A peoples name; peoples fame
To future time prolong.
As Troy still lives and only lives
In Homer's deaihless song.
What though TO buried Nineveh
he traveller may come,
And roll away the stone that hides
That long forgotten tomb;
He questions its mdte past in vain.
Its oracles arc dumb
What though no stands where Balbec stoo,
Gigantic in its pride;
No voice comes DER that silent waste,
Lone, desolate, and wide;
They had no bard, no orator,
No statesman-and they died.
They lived thci little span of life;
They lived and died in vain;
They sank ingloriously beneath
OLlivion's silent reign,
AS rank beneath the Dead Sea wave
The Cities of the Plain.
But for those famed, immortal lands,
Greece and Imperial Rome,
Where genius left its shining mark,
And found its chosen home,
All eloquent with mind they speak,
Wood, wave, and crumblng dome.
The honeycd words of Plato still
Flo-t on the echoing air,
The thunders Of Demoslhenes
Egean waters bear,
And the pilgrim to the Forum hears
The voice OF Tully there,
And thus thy memory shall 1.-Two,
And thus thy fame rcsound
While far-ofr future ages roll
Their solemn cycle round,
And make this wide. this fair New World
An ancient classic ground.
Then with our Country's glorious nsmo
Thine own shall he entwincd;
Within the Senate's pillared hall
Thine image shall he shrined;
And on the nations Law shall glcam
Light from thy giant mind.
Our prouilcst monuments no more
May rise to meet the sky,
The stately Capitol o'crihrown,
Low in tho dust may lie;
But mind, sublime above the wreck,
Imnortal-cnnnot die.

B.lloting for United state. senator.

To-day, at noon, was the time assigned for an
other trial to elect United States Senator, but
when the hour arrived, 10 and behold the coalition
lists were not prepared to go into ballot, and de
sired a postponement.
The reasons assigned for this extraordinary pro-
cedure were trivial, and the motion to postpone
was overruled What wore the real motives which
dictated this movement wo can only conjecture
We have heard some curious rumors in relation to
this subject which the Springfield Republican thus
puts into tangible shape:
at is currently reported that the application Of
the Troy and Greenfield railroad for State loan of
two millions of dollars is likely to be used in rather
an extraordinary manner, in connection with the
election of United States Senator. 1t is said that
to-day an attempt will be made in the House to
postpone the election for three weeks. for the pur
pose Of allowing tho bill for the two millions, re-
ported in the Senate, 10 reach the House-when the
tunnel and Sumner will be in the field together,
one depending on the other. Whether it il ex-
pected that some Of the boilers Or some of the
Wings along the line of the Troy and Greenfield
railroad will come in, in consideration of the two
millions, does not yet appear, but il seems to be
pretty well understood that the 'ong eel is to be
caught through the tunnel, if at nll.'
Rumors Of this character were rife in Boston and
at the State house yesterday, and strong opinion
prevailed that this was to be the ast card Of the
coalitionsts. Truly, drowning men catch at straws.
We should like to see the Wing who would dare to
meet his political brethren, after caving in from
such pressure.
The result of tho twentieth ballot, which was
taken to- day, was a. follows:
Whole number, $50; necessary to choice, l9l !;
Charles Sumner had ITO, Robert C. Winthrop 1863,
scattering 80.
1t win Be seen that Sumner lacks t,celps votes of
an election.
Aftor some discussion upon the cxpediency of
another trial, the election was further postponed
for three weeks, by avoto Of us to 1913.

LATE FROM HAYTI-A correspondent Of the New

Prince under date of March l7th says that politi-
cal conspiracy had been discovered there and seve-
raj persons arrested were condemned to death by
court martial. Among them is M. Francisque,
late chief justice, and Of the three cabinet min
isters. These proceedings were, however, an
nuled, and trial ordered, the result of which
had not yet transpired.
The efforts of the agents of the three commercial
powers to settle the difficulties existing between
the two parts of the island were not attended with
much success. The Senate and Chamber of Rep
resentatives were to assemble on the 25th to con-
slider the offer of mediation.
