From BLackaeooPs Magazine
The Snow Storm.
What angel is passing from heaven,
With her white robes trailing thro air
Cold, as the form whence the spirit is driven
Pale, as the face of despair?
Child of the air and sky,
With cloud she wreathes her brow,
While her white foot falls as silently
As visions thread on the earth below
See her foot CLEANS white on the mountain
As it rests on its earthward fight!
See. she melts in the arms of the fountain
As day-beams dissolve intonight!
Der the forest she throws diamond shower,
Der the ash. and the fir, and the wild rose tree;
With elf-woven domes she roofs the bower
Where sleeps the young anemone.
Silent she moves on the soul Of the dead;
With quiet touch of her magic wand
She binds the green moss in silver thread,
Like fanciful work of fairy-land.
She comes like thought of bygone love,
In the winter of hope descending,
When the blossoms we loved is blooming above,
And sorrow our life's tree is bending.
When, amidst the stiffness, and chill and gloom,
That memory bright and fair returning
Ilumines the heart in the shades of the tomb,
And whitens the barren season Of mourning.
When once she clasped the earth, like true love
No more from her chosen one she fies,-
But pours out the SOUL which came from above
On the breast where her beauty lies
A visitant all too pure for earth,
Early she fades in her virgin day,
And her spirit floats back to the cline of her BIRTH
Drawn by the golden threads ofa ray.

other consideration likely to operates it not,
ask, out of all sort of proportion, when it costs
| fifteen times that amount to sustain Territory
now2
What sort of right or justice is there in the
Congress of the United States taking money out
of the public treasury for the purpose Of erect
ing public buildings in those Territories, which
are filling up rapidly every day, and which in
period of eight or ten years from the time Of
their territorial organization will be asking for
admission into the Union as States2 Is there
any right, is there any consideration of justice,
that can require, at the hands of this House, an
appropriation of money for that purpose2 Why
is it that the Territory of Ohio that the Terrific
ry of Tennessee, that the Territory of Missouri,
all existed in territorial condition without the
appropriation OF one cent from Congress for the
purpose of building roads and erecting public
buildings within their limitsa If they could get
along then as Territories without an expendi-
ture of this sort, why is it that at the present
day, the Territories now organized cannot get
along in the same way without appropriations
of these immense amounts for roads and public
buildings2 ....
But, sir, so far as roads are concerned, 1t all
comes under the head of appropriations for mil.
itary roads." The great doctrine of our pro-
gressive age is, that the government can make
military roads in the Territories, but cannot
make foot of military road across the States to
enable US to get to the Territories. - 'i
call the attention of the House to these facts.
trust that members will give them that consid-
Grafton to which they are entitled, and that gen.
tlemen will reflect whether or not they ought to
vote these immense amounts Of the money of
their constituents for the benefit of the Terrific
ries and their inhabitants. haVr
But, in addition to all this, call attention to
the third clause of the seventh section of the bill
which was up this morning. for the purpose OF
organizing O State government for the Territory
of Oregon which undertakes to donate to that
Territory an immense amount of public lands
what their value may be do not know-for the
purpose of completing the public buildings in
that Territory Thus we are to vote them $l12,-
900 in money first, and then lands, which are,
after all, but the representatives of the public
money Of the country. i again appeal to the
members of this House to look into this matter,
and decide whether they will check this thing
now, or allow it to 60 on to an indefinite ex-
tent. e'.sf ~

LEARNED FLEAs.-The Italian correspondent
of the Newark Daily Advertiser, under date OF
"Florence, April "a, 1885," says:
Learned bears, learned monkeys, and learned
pigs are exhibited in other countries-learned
fleas here Who would believe this who has
not seen for himself tiny chariot of cobweb
wire drawn nibly over a three foot race course
by team of these spry insects, while another
of them holds the reins-composed of gold thread
as fine as the finest hair-he driving four in
hand, and the insect coursers trotting as metho-
ideally along, as if it had never been in their
nature to jump?

Never Despair.

There is no truth of human character so po
tential for veal or woe as tirmness. 10 the
merchant it is all important. Before its irresist-
ible energy the most formidable obstacles be-
come as cobweb barriers in its path. Difficult
ties, the terror of which causes the pampered
sons of luxury to shrink back with dismay, pro-
woke from the man of lofty determination only
smile. The whole history of our racial ma
ture, indeed-teems with examples to show
what wonders may be accomplished by resolute
perseverance and patient toll.
It is related of Tamerlane, the celebrated war
rior, the terror of whose arms spread through
all the Eastern nations, and whom victory at
tended at almost every step, that he once learn
ed from an insect lesson of perseverance, which
had striking effect on his future character and
success
When closely pursued by his enemies-as
contemporary tells the anecdote-he took re-
fuge in some old ruins where, left to his solitary
musings, he espied an ant tugging and striy-
ing to carry single grain of corn. His unavail-
ing efforts were repeated sixty-nine times, and
at each several time, so soon as he reached o
certain point of projection, he fell back with his
burden, unable to surmount it but the seven
tieth time he bore away his spoil in triumph,

ulting in the hope of future victory.
How pregnant the lesson this incident con-
veysl How many thousand instances there are
in which ingorious defeat ends the career of
the timd and desponding, when the same tena-
city of purpose would crown it with triumphant
success.
Resolution is almost omnipotent Sheridan
was at first timid, and obliged to sit down in the
midst of a speech. Convinced of, and mortified
at. the cause of his failure, he said one day to
friend, 1T is in me and it shall como out From
that moment he rose, and shone, and triumphed
in consummate eloquence. Here was true and
moral courage. And it was well observed by q
heathen moralist, that it is not because things
are difficult that we dare not undertake them
Be, then, bold in spirit. Indulge no doubts
they are traitors In the practical pursuit of our
high aim, let us never lose sight of it in the
slightest instance; for it is more by disregard
of small things, than by open and fragrant Of
fences, that men come short of excellence
There is always right and a wrong; and if you
ever doubt, be sure you take not the wrong
Observe this rule, and every experience will be
to YOU means of advancement.

FREEMAsoNs IN TURKEY.-Although free-ma-

Doubt that the Turkish brothers who exercise
their masonic duties, under the name of Dervish-

tle difference in their customs and ceremonies,
and making use of exactly the same signs,
words and grips to recognize each other. Ihe
Turkish freemasons appear to be in more ele-
vated state of civilization than is usual amongst
the Orientals generally; their views OF religion
are higher than those imposed BY lslamlsm; I;
thew reject poGgarny, contenting themselves
with one single wife, and at the masonic ban
ouets the women appear unveiled-a striking
proof of the mutual confidence the masonic
brethren repose in each other.
The Belgrade lodge called Alikotsch, is COM
posed of about seventy members. Ihe master
Of tho lodge, whose name is Djani Isamil Mo
hamed Saede, is at the same time grand master !.
of all the lodges in European Turkey, and is dl
rectly connected with all those Of the whole OF
the Ottoman Empire, Arabia and Persia, IN
which latter the freemasons amount to more
than fifty thousand members. In Constantine
ple there are no less than nine lodges, ths most
numerous and important Of which is that OF the
dancing dervishes, called Sirkedeshi Teckar.- =,

brotherhood besides small brown shaw! en-

pended by white silken cord around the neck
These spots represent the drops of blood, and
