NAME IN THE SAND.
BIT @. d. PRENTICE.


Alone walked on the ocean sand,
A pearlv she'll was In my hand,
i stopped and wrote upon the sand
My name, the year and day;
As onward nom the spot passed,
One lingering look behind cast,
A wave came rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away.
And so, methought, twill quickly be
With every mark on earth OF me
A wave Of dark oblivion's sea,
VIII sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
OF Time and been to me no more
or me, my day, the name i bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And vet with him who counts the sands.
And holds the water In his hands,
/ know q lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name,
fall this mortal part has wrought.
OF all this thinking soul has thought.
And from these fieeting moments caught.

MIR WILLIAM PALMER,
Professor Of Singing and tho Flute.

tlEUS To INF OkM VHE INHABITANTS
- Of Washington that he proposes establishing
SINGING CLASSES for two, three or four pu-
pills, whereby each voice will be properly ex-
amined, and separately cultivated, according to
Its quality, which could not be done, consistent
ly, with simultaneous teaching-as Sopranos
Mezzo Sopranos, and Co1tralto Voices require a
widely different training. Fhe same care is ne
cessary with male voices, viz: Tenor, Baritone
and Bass. When the pupils are sufficiently ad. .
vanced TO sing by themselves they will then be
taught to take their respective parts In Duets,
Trios, or Quartetts.
Terms per Quarter: SO for each pupil, II only
two pupils one hour Will be devoted, and an extra
half hour for every additional pupil; $50 per
quarter for separate pupils.

There was no election, and the House ad-

Prsee edinss of Te-Day.
The Senate did not meet to-day.

| 4uc ocuotc uiu uoe uccb t-udy
In the House, Mr. Underwood moved q
resolution for the election of Speaker by
voting for or against each member once, 50.
r,Gttm, until Speaker be elected.
Mr.. Crawford proposed to offer one to &C.
complish the same object, by voting by States,
| as is done under the Constitution by the House,
when it becomes that body's duty to choose a
President Of the United States.
Both these propositions were laid over until
tomorrow, by consent.
Mr.. A. X. Marshall proposed a resolution
expressive of the opinion Of the House, that
| If all the candidates now being voted for
would withdraw, their course would be con-
ducive to an election.
Mr.. M advocated this proposition with great
earnestness, ofering, on the part of the Ma
tional Know Nothing party, to support Dem
ocrat, to be named by themselves. or to sup
port any member Of their own party, to be
named by the Democrats.
Mr.. Millson addressed the House in favor of
this resolution, deprecating the existing state
of things in the hall as a stain on our Govern.
ment, and urging that it be speedily ended.
Mr.. Allison opposed the resolution, arguing
that the Republicans and no other party were
responsible for their course, and intmating
that they would, under no circumstances'
change their policy in this contest.
Mr. Cobb, of Ca, also opposed the resolu-
ton, replying to 80 much of the remarks of
Mr. Millson as (he heidi reflected on the
course of the Democrats in this contest.
Mr.. Millson denied that he lad assailed the
Democratic party. He did not regard the
caucus as the Democratic party; and remarked
that in common with many of the Visest, most
experienced, and most patriotic members Of
the Democratic party on the floor, he seriously
