She Loved Him.

She loved him but she knew it not
Her heart had only room for pride,
All other feelings were forgot
When she became another's bride,
As from q dream she then awoke,
To realize her lonely state,
And own it was the vow she broke,
That made her drear and desolate.
She loved him; but the slanderer came
With words of hate that all believed;
A stain thus rested on his name,
But he was wrong'd and she deceived,
All, rash the act that gave her hand,
That drove her lover from her side,
Who hied him to distant land,
Where battling for q name he died.
She loved him; and his aemory now,
Was treasured as thing apart:
The shades of thought were on her brow,
The seeds of death were in her heart,
For all the world that thing forlorn
would not, could not be, and live;
That casket, with its jewels gone
A bride, who has no heart to give.
THE HOUSEHOLD "GooD NIGHT" - "Good
night" A loud, clear voice from the stars said
that it was Timmys. "Dood night" murmurs a
little something we call Jenny, that filed large
place in the center of two pretty large hearts
"Good night" lips little fellow in plain rife
dress, who was christened Willie about six years
ago. .......'.

twilight and very pleasant melody it is now, as we

Timmy Somebody, Esq, and has almost forgotten
that he ever was boy, and wore what the bravest

Tnlrty-Fourth Congress-First Session.
W.sg1NeToN. January %. 1856.


SrNATI.-Mr. Bigler OF Pennsylvania, was quail
led and took his seat. Mr. Fitzpatrick gave notice
that he would tomorrow, move 10 proceed to the
election of printer for the Senate. Mr.. Cass then
took The floor and made speech on Central Amerl-
. an affairs The galleries and Hobbies of the Senate
were densely crowded. In abiding to the remark OF
the National Tnteligencer that the country might be
drifting into difficulties he said he lid not believe it;
he thought the Ship of State It's true course,
and the pilot doing his duty.
MI Cass strongly denounced the positions assum-
{ by the British government relative to the proee-
torate of Central America characterlzng her prelen-
sions in setting up King the Mosquito Indians
as mere mockery, under which England alone is to
exercise real sovereignty
The statement was corroborated by Mr. Clayton,
who read extract. from documents to show that the
British Vice Consul was the real government of Mos
quito and gave titles 10 land in his own name.
Mr. Collamer gave his views relative to the con-
str tion of the Clayton Bulwer treaty showing, as
a ,possible pretext for the present assumption by
England that the occupation she agreed not to eXer-
else was only prospective, and had no reference 10
the occupation which she then held. He however,
bought the time for legislative action had not ar
r;ved inasmuch as The President in his annual mes
ge, expressed the hope that there might be ami
cable adjustment of the controversy between this
Government and Great Britain.
Mr. Seward got the floor. when the subject was
postponed, and the Senate adjourned to Thursday.
HoUsE-Mr. Leitner offered resolution for the
election of Speaker by plurality vote. The reso-
luton was laid on the table, on motion of Mr. Vince
Ter, by vote of LOG TO 100
Mr. Tyson submitted resolution in spirit Of
compromise for the election of Speaker by plurality
v,,e giving each candidate receiving not less than

strength The resolution was rejected. The House

Of the Senate of Mississippi recently signhed his in

of the Planters Bank bonds These bonds constitute
but small portion of the repudiated debt of Misss-
sippi the main portion Of that debt consisting of the
bonds issued by The Union Bank The entire indeb-
