THE SECRET.

By LYDIA A. CALDWELL
Out Of the south there came bird,
And the soul of the summertime was stirred
With the sweetest song that ever was heard.
The magical notes Of its wonderful strain
Fell, like the fall Of musical rain,
Into my heart and into my brain.
And in the song was a meaning there
A meaning strange, and new, and fair,
Wonderful, sweet, and fine, and rare.
meaning which I had learned ere then,
But not from the rhyme Of poets pens
Nor from any song tina. is sung by men.
And then cried, go bird divine.
"where hast thou learned loves tender sign!
"Neyer wss a song of bird like thine!
"Thou hast heard my heart in the night time
"0r else the small grass uader my feet
"Has Jared to tattle my secret sweet.
''For sing thou low. or loud. as thou list,
"The spell Of thy singing who shall resist!
'Oh most musical plagiarist.
"But sing it not. this wonderful tune,
'sTo the whltest lilly under the moon,
ssNor to roses that blow in the heart Of June.
"And sing it not unto human ear;
ssNor man, nor maiden, nor flower may lear
"My song, my secret, my mystery dear"
Then 50 ng he bird when had done;
ssThere's not wind blowing under the sun
"But tells your secret to every one.
"And yet the telling is all in vain, lfain
Though the busy wind and the garru ou
"Tell it a thousand times again.
'sThe worm throbs like living thing.
ssUnder the beat ofmy golden wing.
.sAs pipe and pipe--as sing and sing:
sThe world is wiue, the world is round.
"And unto every shining bound,
| Flows my musical tide of sound,
"But still my measure never grows old;
"The immortal secret never is told;
"Love only to love will itself unfold"
Into the South went back the bird; .
But still the soul of Summer is stirred
With the sweetest song that ever was hear

Ilwus never known that any man grew
more moral; pious or v;rtuous. after re
jecting the gospel, but a thousand in
stances could be produced where men
have become better by embracing it;
and we may defy ary one to produce an
instance where any man became worse.

Oh. l. II tell you ola {, How,
Ola fellow have seen,
who Is neither white or yellow,
But is altogether grecni
Then his name it isn't charming,
For it's OILY common "Bill'''
And he wishes me to- wed him,
BIT hardly iLink will.
He has told me of acottage,
Of cottage 'moug the trees,
And dom, y.sl ihiuk the gaukey
TumbIed on his knees
While the tears the fellow wasted
Were enough to turn mill;
And he begged me TO accept him,
BnI hardly think will.
Oh, he Whispered Of devotion,
Of devotion pure and deep,
But il seemed so very silly
That nearly ieli asleep;
And he thinks it would be pleasant,
As we journey down the hill,
To go hand aud hand together,
But hardly thiuk Twill.
He was here last night TO see me,
And he made so long stay,
began to think the bIoekhead
Ne'er meant to go awy.
At the FIRST learned to hate him, ~
And know hate him still,
Yet he urges me to have him,
But hardly think will.
am sure wouldn't choose him,
But the very duce is in il;
But he says If ref,se him
That he couldn't live minute,
And you know the b iessed Bible
Plainly says eve mustn't XII"
So I've thought the matter over,
And rather think I will.

Which thou for men hast given,
And oh may many grateful prayers
Ascend for thee 70 heaven.

The Union, in powerful article, exposes
the humbuggery Of the attempt of those seek
ing to revOlutiOnize the Government, to gene
rate the impression that the cause of their
party in Congress as against the rest of the
Government of the United States, is parallel
with that of the people of England, as against
the Stuarts-and all that sort of nonsense.
The Intsiiigsnesr urges compromise between
the two Houses of Congress. While arguing
that the obnoxious laws of the Legislature OF
Kansas are a blur on the civilization Of the
sse, the editor contends that the remedy pro.
pared for them by the Republican majority
of one vote in the House, involves usurpation
on the part of that majority of the functions
of the Executive; and is therefore more dan
than the evil it seeks to cure. He (the editor)
advises the repeal of the territorial laws in
question, by Congress, and points to the alleged
fact that both the Senate and House have en-.
phatically condemned them.

Mr.. Morrill,, rising to question of privil-
