ny GEORGE P. MORRIS.
The wind-harp has music it moans to the tree
And so has the shell that complains to the sea
The lark that sings merrily over the lea
-. The reed Of the rude shepherd boy!
We reyel in music when day has begun,
When rock-fountains gush into glen as thev run.
And stars Of the morn sing their hymns to the sea
Who brightens the hill-tops with joy!
The spin it Of melody floats in the air,
Her instruments turning to harmony there,
Our senses beguiling from sorrow and care,
In blessings sent down from aboyel
But nature has music far more to my choice
Aud all in her exquisite exchanges reioice-
No tones thrill my heart like the dear human voice,
When breathed by the being love.

Whose playful mrth and movements dcbonair

ONE REPENrANr SINNER,

After the Freesoil vote Of the factious
disOrganizers of the House, laying the Mes
sage of the President upon the table, Mr.
II. Marshall, as if ashamed of the indignity
essayed, offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the communication sent
by the President of the United States to
the House of Representatives this day be
respectfully received by the House; and
the Clerk is directed to take charge of the
same until the House shall have been or
ganized by the election of Speaker.
Mr.. Marshall said he was indisposed to
see the House adjourn without baving re-
ceived the Message Of the President. In
offering the resolution in terms in which it
was couched, he had indicated his desire
to treat the Executive with respect, and at
the same time preserve what he considered
the dignity of the House. He demanded
the previous question.
Notwithstanding this appeal to the oppo-
sition, the elements of meanness prevailed,
and the House, without taking the question,
adjourned. Fusion could not have exhibi-
ted more reckless or contemplate as
pect.- BaLtimore Republican.

TT & SENATE.

In the Senate, January 3, the financial
report of the Secretary of the Treasury was
received. Mr.. Mason moved that $500
copies be printed by the printer to the SEN
ate of the last Congress, at rates not ex-
ceeding those established by law. A dis
cussion ensued to the power of the
Senate to take such action, since it would,
as contended on one side, be a violation or
evasion of the law of the last session rcla-
tive to the public printing. The resolution
was adopted.
Mr.. Hale of New Hampshire, (Abolition-
ist) remarked that he was not in his seat
when the Presidents Annual Message came
in, else he should have objected to its re-
ception as irregularly sent.
The President Continues Mr.. Hale }
takes up much of the message in talking
about Central American affairs, but he, Hale,
thought there is place in the central part
of the United States on which the eyes of
the people are turned with vastly more at
tention-namely, Kansas. Mr.. Hale stated,
on the authority of Calhoun, that the
Monroe doctrine, so much talked about, was
originally suggested by the British Cabinet.
It is true, as the President says, that acts
have occurred in Kansas contrary to good
order, but they had taken place by instiga-
tion of the President. 1t is not the first
time the President has delivered lecture
on slavery. 1t was insulting to the Inajori-
tv of this nation for the President to say, in
effect, that the men who disagree with him
ON that subject are enemies to the Consti-
tuition. The Supreme Ruler, for the pun
ishlnent of our national sins or humiliation
of our national pride, has permitted Pierce
to occupy the Presidential chair, and he
comes down into the arena Of the dema-
gogue. stripped of everything which should
clothe him with Executive dignity.

WEARING FLANNEL.

Put it on at once; winter or summer,
nothing better can be worn next the skin
than a loose, red, wooden, flannel shirt;
''loose,'' for it has room to move on the skin,
thus causing a Utilization which draws the
blood to the surface and keeps it there; and
when that is the case no one can take
cold; cred" for white flannel fulls up, mats
together, and becoms tight, stiff, heavy,
and impervious. Cotton wool merely alb
sorbs the moisture from the surface while
wooden flannel conveys it from the skin and
deposits it in drops on the outside Of tho
shirt, from which the ordinary cotton shirt
absorbs it; and by its nearer exposure to
the exterior air, it is soon dried without in
jury to the body. Having these properties,
red wooden flannel is worn by sailors even
in the midsummer of the hottest countries.
Wear thinner material in sammer.-- Halls
Journal Of Health.
The above is good advice; but most per-
sons, we suppose, would prefer to wear
white in preference to red flannel, were it
possible TO prevent it fulling up. Lot white
flannel be boiled in clean soft water for an
hour, then dried before it is made up into
shirts, and it will be found no NOR. liable
