Alone.

Twas midnight, and he sat alone
The husband of the dead.
That day the dark dust had been thrown
Upon her buried head.
Her orphaned children round him slept,
But in their sleep would moan;
Then feel the first tear he had wept-
He felt he was alone.
The world was full of life and light,
But, ah no more for him
His little world, once warm and bright,
1t now was cold and dim.
Where was her sweet and kindly face!
Where was her cordial tone
He gazed around his dwelling-place,
And felt he was alone.
The wifely love-maternal care
The self-denying zeal
The smile of hope that chased despair,
And promised future veal;
The clean bright hearth-nice table spread
The charm DER all things thrown
The sweetness in whate'er she said
All gone-he was alone
He looked into his cold, wild heart,
All sad and unresigned;
He asked how he had done his part
To one so true, so kind !
Each error past he tried to track
In torture would atone
Would give his life to bring hers back
In yain-he was alone.
He slept at last; but when he dreamed
(Perchance her spirit woke,)
A soft light DER her pillow cleaned,
voice in music spoke
"Forgot-forgiven all neglect
Thy love recalled alone:
The babes leave; oh! love, protect!
/ still am all thine own.''

approachable to- get rid Of the public money. He
would throw open the doors the courts of justice
to those claimants.
Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia, did not see that any
evil could result from the proposition. He was
not disposed to look upon the majority of claimants
as robbers. He was inclined to think there are
many unjust claims, and that there great many
Just ones, which have been sleeping halfa centu-

the courts Of justice, and let the Government be-
come partyto the suit it would be compelled to
pay millions of dollars now withheld.
Mr.. Cleveland said claimants have been waiting
here for ten, or thirty years, or more. He was OPP
posed however, to the amendment now pending,
it would not remedy the evil. The remedy was for
members to assemble here on Fridays and Satur
days, and attend to this particular business.
Mr.. Stuart opposed the amendment, and said it
was no more nor less than this that the entire
question Of paying private claims shall be left to 6f
teen gentleman of the House, without appeal.
Mr.. Campbell, of Illinois. The greatest objection
to the amendment was, it makes an omnibus bill,
to which he was opposed. But there can be moth
ing suggested, to which objections cannot be made.
The question was, will the proposition relieve cIa-
mants from the difficulties under which they now
labor He believedit would, and therefore should
vote for it.

views expressed by the gentleman who preceded
him.

ed for the consideration Of the House, this the
most impracticable and impossible
Mr.. Freeman offered substitute for the pend
ing MISUNDERSTANDING the Committee on the
Judiciary to inquire into the necessity and proprie
ty of giving to the district courts of the United
States, full power at law to hear and determine
claims against the Federal Government.
Mr.. Sackett argued that the amendment would
effect log rolling and combination of bills.
Mr.. Johnson of Arkansas, said that ninety
nine out of hundred righteous claims have to
be abandoned to utter hopelessness, because two
hundred and thirty three thrtyfour of the most
intelligent men of the nation have established rules
which prevent them from doing justice. If this
mode should not answer, let the House 60 on and
keep trying something, until a proper plan shall
be attained

to take the vote the guilt innocence of the pris-

A little boy had died. His body was laid out in
a darkened retired room, waiting to be laid away
in the lone cold grave.
His afflicted mother and bereaved little sister
went in to look at the sweet face of the precious
sleeper, for his face was beautiful in death.
AS they stood gazing upon the form of one SO
cherished and beloved the little girl asked to take
his hand The mother at first did not think it
best but her child repeated the request and seem
ed very anxious about it, she took the cold blood
less hand of her sleeping boy, and placed it in the
hand of his weeping sister.
The dear child looked at it moment, caressed
it fondly, and then looked up to her mother,
through the tears of affection and love, and said,
