DOWN BY THE WOOD.

Down by the wood
When daylight Is breaking,
And the first breath Of dawn
The green leaves Is shaking.
IT'S bliss without limit
Alone to be streying,
To hear the wild wood birds.
And what they are saying.
Down by the wood,
When it's noon in the heaven,
And the steer to the shade
OF the hedgerow Is driven
Ills sweet to recline
In the beechen trees shadow,
And drink all the glories
OF field, forest, meadow!
Down by the wood,
At the fall Of tue cleaning
'Mong clear CRY stall dewdrops
IT'S sweet TO be roami9g-
The hush Of the wheat-eaIs-
The gushing Of water
The shiver OF green Leaves
The music Of Nature

WASHINGTON, May 20.


 The President in his veto of St. Clair Flats bill sent to the Senate, says in considering it., under the constitution, that the power of Con- gresS to construct works of internal improve ment Is limited to cases in which the work Is manifestly needful and proper for the execu- ton of some one or more of the powers eX- pressly delegated to the general government.
 l have not been able to find for the proposed expenditure any such relative power, unless it be power to provide for common defense, and maintain the army and navy. Buta careful ex- animation of the subject, with the aid of infor. nation officially received since my last annual message was communicated to Congress, has convinced me that the expenditures would serve no valuable purpose, as contributing to the common defense, because all that could be effected by it, would be to afford channel of but twelve feet depth, and of so temporary a character that unless the work was done inn mediately, the necessity for its use would not arise; it could not be relied on for vessels of even small draft, the passage of which it would permit.
 In relation to Mississippi improvements the President repeats his constitutional objections to internal improvements, applicable to the whole system whether they consist of works on the land or in navigable waters, either of sea coast or interior lakes and rivers
