SAD CHLDREN.-There is one thing
which strikes me asvefy affecting in the
condition of any child, 1t Is when that
condition is necessarily melancholy one
which the circumstances which hem it
around cast over the surface of that young
life an abiding gloom. A melancholy
child What an anomaly among the har-
monies of the universe something as in
congruous as bird dropping in a cage, or
"a flower in sepulehre. The musical
laus liter mufitrd, and broken, the spon.ane-
Gus smile transformed to sad suspicion; and
the austerites of mature life, the fearful
speculation, and forecast of evil, fixed aud
frozen Cd boys face And then the sor-
row Of a child is so absorbing for he lives
only III the present. In the Affections
which fall upon him. man has the aid of
reason and lai:h-he looks beyond the
present issue, he detects the significance of
his.calamity, and strengthened thus brave
heat can vanish any sorrow. But as Rich
ter beautifully says-"the little cradle, or
bed canopy of the ctilj, is easier darken-
ed ;han the starry heaven of man." Sure
| ly, thea, it is a blessed thing to contribute
aught that will tighten this gloom, and
place the child in natural condition.-H.

Veto Messages on the 10th Inst.

Two messages were received from the
President vetoug the bill recently passed
lot the improvement Of the mouth OF the
Mississippi river aud deepening the flats
in the ST. Clair river. The President SAYS
he le turns them because he regards them
as parts Of a general system OF internal I'M
provemeits, and refers them to his message
OF 1874, vetoing the river and harbor bill.
The consideration Of the subject was post
poned until next W edntsday.
In relation to the bill Tor the improve
men; of the St. Clair flats, the President
SAYS: an considering it under the cons:i.
tuition that the power of Congress 10 con-
slruct works OF internal Improvements is
limited to cases in which the work is man.

common defense and maintenance of the
army and navy. But in a careful exami-
| nation oil the 'ubject, with the aid OF in
formation officially received since my last
annual message was communicated to Com
gress has convinced me that the expeDdi.

as contributing to the common defence,

arise, il could not be relied Oil for vessels
OF even the small draft, the passage OF

Relative to the Mississippi improvement

they consist of works on land or in the

POETRY.
DO RIGHT.

Awake, my soul, thy hours are fleeing,
Thy life is rapidly completing,
Time with eternity is meeting,
Soon comes the night.
Thy retribution will come,
According to thy state, thy doom,
Do right, do right.
Though clouds thy armament o'erspread,
And tempests burst around thy head,
Though life its greenest foliage shed,
In sorrows blight
And though thy holy hopes and feara
Lie buried meath the gathering years
Do right, dc right.
The warning elements worst wrath,
The earthquake and the whrlwind's breath,
The valley aRd the shade Of death,
Need not affright
For duty's calm commanding form,
With rainbow arms shall clasp the storm:
Do right, do right,
FAINT not in all the weary strife,
Though every day with toll be rife,
W ork is the element of life.
Action is light;
Fer man is made to toll and strive,
AnG only those who labor live.
Do right, do right.
Life is not all feeting dream,
meteor flash, rainbow CLEAN,
A bubble on the floating stream,
Soon lost to sight;
For there's work for every hour
In every passing word power
Do right, do right.
@ life is full of solemn thought,
And noble deeds if noby wrought
With fearful consequences fraught;
And there is might
If gathered in each passing hour,
That gives the soul unearthly power,
Do right, do right.
