her eyes filling with tears, you know am in-
capable of it. I heard the whole history from
Uncle Walter, and not once since, have laid my
head upon the pillow, without seeing vision of
that wretched slave. Oh Tracy! can such things
fail to move you!
This affair most certainly strikes me as very
disgraceful to. Mr.. Herbert; and / confess to you
frankie, that at first, it did seem as if to eat of
that mans bread would choke me; and still re-
gre, in consideration of my position in his family
that such should be my first impression; but per-
haps in the end shall be gamer. At any rate
feel my curiosity wildly reused to learn more of
the system that nurses in men such pitiabe self
ishness. and heartessness as Mr.. Herbert exhibit
ed ia this case.'
Il should like, Tracy said frankie after mo-
ment's silence, to ask you just one question.
You know this poor fellow had been hiding for
several weeks, watiug for opportunity to flee.
Now if you had known his place of conceaitfient.

No, not iu this case but 1 should much dis

You wouldn't have done it, said frankie
grayely taking little note book from her pocket
and making, or pretending to make, a memoran-

The tutor turned on his heel and walked awav

open Doors

The Emitted States Senate, on certain occasions,
does business with closed doors. There is no rea-
son for This, on general Subjects certainly. The
custom is neither suited 10 American taste or Amer
lean spirit. We were glad, therefore, to find Mr..
Chase moving TO abolish it.
On the 9th, the following occurred in the Sem
nte:
Mr.. Chase, Gree soil) of Ohio, offered aresolu-
ton that all proceedings Of the Senate shall be pub.
lie and open, except when matters communicated
10 confidence by the President shall be received
and considered. and in such other cases as the
Senate by resolution, from time TO time, shalt es-
pecialy order. He supposed that every Senator
understood the object and character of the resohs
tiou and therefore it necessary to say but little
upon the subject AS the rules now stand, the
treaties and nominations are considered in seefet
session. If the rules shall be altered as he propos-
ed, treaties communicated in confidence would
still be considered in seeret session; but there is
large class oftreaes, involving important public con-
sideftons, which may be acted upon in open ses-
sion. He saw no reason why debates on nomina-
tions of public character should not be Conducted
with open doors, except in such cases where se-
crecy is considered absolutely necessary. Our in
sttutions are based on the principle Of publicity.
Messrs. Hunter. of Va, Phelps, of VT, Butler,
of S. c., opposed,-Mr. Borland supported Mr..
Chase's resolution. Mr.. Sumner closed the de-
as follows:
At the organization of the government. the legis-
lative and executive business were alike conducted
in secret session; but in the ofthe third Con-
gress, in 1875, resolution passed to open the
doors to the public when the body was engaged fna
legislative capacity, unless ia such requr-
ed secrecy. The rule thus established has stfb-
stantialy continued down to the present day, and
the rule adopted at that time was in harmony with
our institutions. The resolution now under con-
sideraton proposes to take stepfurther, and to
open the doors except when secrecy is required on
treaties and nominations; and to this he was
agreed-publc;ty is required by the spirit and gs-
MUS of our institutions. The Athenian, who buiis
his house SO that all might what transpired in
it, afforded fit model for the American Senate.
The further consideration of the resolution was
postponed until to- morrow, and afteran executive
session the Senate adjourned.

A bursting into greenness,
A waking as from sleep,
A twitter and a warble
That makes the pulses leap;
A sense of renovation,
OF freshness and of health,
A casting off of fsordid fear,
A carelessness of wealth.
A watching as in childhood,
For the flowers that one by one
Ope their golden petals
To WOO the fitful sun;
A gush, a flash, a gurgIe,
A wish to shout and sing,
As filled with hope and gladness,
We hail the vernal SPRING.

The Maniac.


BY MRS. NJ G. HARsFoRD.
story told by traveller in Spain. of woman
who by sudden shock of domestic calamity, be
,ame insane and ever after looked up necessarily
to the sky.
Ger her infant couch of death,
Bent widowed mother low;
And the quick conyulsive breath,
Marked the inward weight of woe.
Round the fair child's forehead clung,
Golden tresses, damp AMI bright,
While deaths pinion DER it hung,
And the parted lips grew white.
Reason left the mothers eye,
When the latest pang is DER,
Swift she raised her head on high,
Turned it earthward never more.
By the dark and silent tomb,
Where they laid the dead to rest;
By the empty cradles gloom,
And the fireside once SO blest.
In the lone and narrow cell,
Fettered by the clanking chain,
Where the maniac's piercing yell.
Thrilled the heart with dread and pain;
Upward still she fixed her gaze,
fearless and bewiidered too;
Speaking of the fearful night,
Madness DER the spirit threw.
Upward, upward, till in love,
Death removed the veil of time,
Raised the broken heart above,
To the far off healing cline.
Mortal! DER the field of life,
Pressing with uncertain tread;
Mourning in the torrent strife,
Blessings lost and pleasures fled,
A sublimer love was taught
By the maniac's frenzied eye,
Than Philosophy ere caught
From intensest thoughts and high.
When the heart is crushed and broken,
By the death bells sullen chime;
By the faded friendships token,
Or the wild remorse of crime;
Turn to earth for suceor never,
Look not where the sunbeams fade;
Towards the blue sky gaze forever
God. and God alone can aid

DR.. KIaG's DIFFIcULTIEs.-A correspondents
ofthe Boston Traveller, writing from Florene says:
"Our Minister TO Turkey still remains here,
awaiting instructions from Washington in regard
to the case of Mr.. King, missionary at Athens
Hisrepolt embraced scme twohundred pages, part
ly in Greek, which perhaps accounts for the dila-
torinesss of the Department of State in examining
into its merits. MIR. Marsh says that be never,

all rules of justice and testimony were mOre4ias
grantly violated than by Grecian Courts towards
Mr.. King, IN his trial for aredged basphemy. The,
Government have also taken away from him, with
out remuneration, piece of land which he had
purchased. The British government forced them
to pay dearly, recently, for a like fraud upon an.

earnestly TO destroy it, and propose to carry the
question into poillcs. The Cinennati Gazette
says:
"The Cutho'ics seem 10 have deliberately re-
solved to make this the great question on which
allther POLITICAL action is to turn. In every por:
ton Of the country. they have simultaneously
attacked our publis schools, denonncing them
