" MNRWED YESTERDAY. .'-Every day in the
journal tHlt wiz the first CLEAN of the sun
Is Hung within our portals, We read this little
sentence -" Married yesterday. 50 and So. -
Every day there is II wedding feast in some of
the mansions of earth a clasping OF hands
and union of hearts in the dim aiscs of some
holy temple a plclging of eternal love and
constancy during all the hours that are yet
to come down, like spring flowers, upon Lies
pathway. Each day some new marriage
crown Is put on and she that wears it, lean
ing upon him whose love is the brightest
Jewel set amidst its leaves, steals away from
the - dear old home, and ncStlcs tremblingly
IN the fairy cot where Love s hand has trained
the honey sucklc over the lattced porch. and
placed .Eulian Tyres in all the easements.
" MARRIED YESTERDAY" There are pearls
and gold shining now amid the flowers that
fringe Loves pathway, and stars cleaning
ike great chandeliers in the iirmamcnt oi
Hope. There are harps tinkling now, whose
melody l. swccter than the sound of evening
bells, and joys falling like shower of ame-
thysts upon the hearts that yesterday were
wed. Lille now is become beautiful the soul
scars upwards from the dust, like "A dove
loosed from It's cage there is melody in every
breeze and every place yea, there are angels
in every path, with crownings for those who
are pressing onward with song and prayer.
"MARRILD YESTERDAY, 1T seems now a
long distance to the graye-a long road to
the final rest, But soon the shadows will
come, and life loose its summer bloom Then,
as the patter Of tiny feet is heard about the
grandiathor's house, and little BARNS cluster
about his knce, those who were married yes
terday, mayhap will turn back to the records
Of the Past, weeping silently the while, re-
membering that their summer is gone, their
harvest ended, and that soon, gathering up
their shca,es, they must pass beyond the g,tes
of pearl. where there will eyermore be but
one Iuarrage-that of the Lamb with lis
chosen people

TIE SLEEPING FIGURE OF MODEM 4
nv BARRY cuHNWAtL.
;'ron acouch of silk aud gold
pale enchanted lady lies,
And o'er her many frowning fold
of crimson shades her closed ewes
And shadowy creatures round her rise
And ghosts Of women mask'd in woe
And many phantom pleasure flies
The lovers slain--ah, long ago
The lady, pale a. now she sleeps.
An age upon that couch hath lain,
Yet in one spot spirit keeps
His mansion like red-rusc stain
And, when lovers ghost complain.
Blushes like newborn flower,
n as some bright dream of pain
Dawneth through the darkest hour.
Once-but many thought hath fed
since the time whereof speak
Once the sleeping lady bred
Beauty in her burning cheek,
And the lovely morn did break
Through the azure of her eyes,
And her heart was warm and mcek
And her hope was in the skies,
But the lady loved at last,
Ana the passion pain'd her soul,
And her hope away was cast,
Far beyond her own control
And the cloudcd thoughts that roll
Through the midnight of the mind,
O'er her eyes of azure stole,
Till they grew defect and blind
He to whom her heart was given,
When May music was in tune,
Dared f"rSake that amorous heaven.
Changed and careless soon
U, what is all beneath the moon
When this heart will answer not
What are all the dreams of noon
With our love forgot
Needless of the world she went,
Sorrows daughter, meek and lone,
I'LL some spirit downwards bent
And struck her to this sleep of stone.
Look Did old pygmaion
Sculpture thus, or more prevail,
When he drew the living tone
From the marble pale !

THE NEBRASKA BILL.

This wonderful Nebraska bill has wrough,
nmiracle that necr was seen or thought

Who never in one point of faith agreed
AMI never will again-that III be sworn
Till the last leaf from Times old book is torn

Ant d~aw together both by bit and rein.
Religion nc'cr could bind them in one tctber
But politics have brought these saints together
And knit them, not by Christian love of others,
Gut Christian hatred of their southern brothers

NJ The duty on American tobacco, inn
ported into England, is only about twelve
hundred per cent So we learn from the
British Chancellor Of the Exchcquer, who, on
looking about to find articles which will bear
the increased rate OF duty during the war
with Russia, thinks that tobacco duty will do
as it is, particularly as he adds, that this re-
venue is improving from year to year, We
quote -
" That is wonderful state of things, and
| think il one of those cases to which to ap-
ply the doctrine of let we'll alone. Qlear,
hear.) Were we to tamper with it, do not
think we should get very large sum We
might break down the revenue altogether,
and enable the smuggler to have the upper
hand"
This duty ofl200 per cent Yields revenue
Of about Se5 900 900 and ali are derived
from an article of American production That
will do for free trade country, and for a
Government as fond of free trade treaties as
Great Britain is,
The duty upon tobacco in Great Britain
has varied considerably in fifty years In
1901, it was Is I'd in ISL, it was raised to
2s ID in 1922, it was further raised 10 is
in 1881, il was reduced to 3s-at which sum
il remains, and yielding more than twice the
value of the tobacco exported from the United
States The revenue has doubled within

DEIlA A. WEBsTER. Miss Webster. in

DELLA A. WEBsrER.-Miss Webster, in a
lengthy appeal for protection, written in
Madison Jail ON the 4th, and published in
the Banner of that day, charges her impri-
sonment upon Newton Craig, the Warden of
the Pcnitrntiary at Frankfort, Ky, If her
charges are true, it would be Il gross outrage
not to extend her full protection. She says
" The motives of his malice, as near as ! can
account for it in few words, are, first, that
he experienced a decided repulse, and totally
failed to have his ungentlemanly and unciyi-
liHcd desires accommodated, and next, that
was unwilling 10 have him visit my house
even under the pretence Of seeing his children
whom he had, by previous contract, engaged
To keep under my tuition for IA certain time
Then, after finding that his entrcatics and
letters he had written to me availed notl.iug,
he, iii his rough Kentucky manner, sworc
with an oath, that if | would not agree to
marry him in ease his wife should die-which
he expected would take place before long, as
she was then sick-hc would get somebody to
swear to enough ON that old indictment to
send me to the Penitentiary, where his will
should be my law, and where resistance
would be vain -

CONGRESS will soon do something. 1t will
adjourn in fortnight, and an adjournment Is
somCthing-aye something to be thankful for
1t relieves us of difficulty we have found in
conceiving an indefinite prolongation of moth
ingness. Nature, too, abhors vacuum, and
the sight even ofidleness becomes wearisome
so we are doubly grateful that the session is
to come to- an end. Congress makes it its
business to do Nothing, and this business is
already "thoroughly disposed Of" What did
1t do yesterday Nothing. The day before
Nothing. The day before that Nothing
Last week Nothing, except make Nothing
of the Know Nothings, Week before last
Nothing. Last month Nothing, but buy
land Of Mexico where Nothing grows. Month
before last Nothing but turn the Missouri
Compromise into Nothing. The month be
fore that Nothing butmlk Nothing. The
month before that Nothing whatever.
Now, we submit, this business of doing
Nothing has been 'thoroughly' enough done
up, Congress might sit forever, and add
Nothing to its plishmcnt of Nothing 49,
II Congress can do nothing in eight months,
how much more can it do in ten or twelve
Congress has promised to adjourn ON the
fourth. 1t long since thoroughly learned the
art of holding on, and we trust it will hold on
to that promise, And yet we fear. For how
could such resolution have passed Congress,
unless it was privately understood there was
