A YEAR IN HEAVIER.

A year uncalendered; for what
Hast thou 10 do with mortal time7
It's dole of moments entereth not -
That circle, mystic and sublime,
Whose unreached centre is the throne
Of Him before whose awful brow,
Meeting eternities are known
AS but an everlasting now!
The thought removes thee far away
Too far beyond my love and tears;
All let me hold thee as I may,
And count thy time BY earthly years.
4 year of bessedness-wherein
Not one dim cloud hath crossed thy soul;
No sigh Of grief no touch Of sin, )
No frail mortality's control;
Nor once hath disappointment stung,
Nor care, world-weary, made thee pine,
But rapture, such as human tongue
Hath found no language for is thine.
Made perfect as thy passing-who
Can sum thy added glory now2;
AS on and onward, upward through
The angel ranks that lowly bow,
Ascending still from height to height,
unfaltering where rapt seraphs trod,
Nor pausing mid their circles bright,
Thou tendest inward, unto God!
A year of progress in the lore
That's only learned in heaven thy mind
Unclogged by clay, and free to soar,
Hath left the realms of doubt behind.
And wondrous things which finite thought -.
In vain essayed to solve, appear
To thy untasked inquiries, fraught
With explanations strangely clear.
Thy reason owns no forced control,
As held it here In needful thrali;
Gods mysteries court thy questioning soul,
And thou mayst search and know them all.
A year of love; thy yearning heart
Was always tender, cen to tears,
With sympathies whose sacred art
Made holy all thy cherished years;
But love, whose speechless ecstacy
Had orerborne the finite, now
Throbs through thy being pure and free,
And burns upon thy radiant brow.
For though whose hands dear clasp has felt,
Where sill the nail prints are displayed;
And thou before that face has knelt,
Which wears the scars the thorns have made
A year without thee had thought
My orphan'd heart would break and die,
Ere time had meek quiescence brought,
Or soothed the tears it could not dry.
And yet live, to faint and quail
Before the human grief bear;
To miss thee so! then drop the wall
That trembles on my lips in prayer.
Thou prasing, while weakly pine?
Thou glorying while vainly thrill
And thus between thy heart and mine,
The distance ever widening still.
A year of tears to me; to thee,
The end Of thy probation's strife,
The archway to eternity,
The portal of immortal life.
To me-the pail, the bier, the sod
To thee-the palm of victory given;
Enough, my hcart-thank God thank God
That thou hast been a year in heaven.

RorAr1oS IN OrrIcE.-" Ion," the generally
wcll.uforned correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun, writing from Washington, March ., says:
"As informed you in my last very few nomi-
nations arc to be sent to the Senate at the pres.
ent session. There is no pressing occasion for
many new appointments, and they will be made
at leisure and with delibcraton, and, Of course,
Just discrimination. The opinion gathers strength,
however, that the Democratic doctrine of rota-
ton in olce is to be faithfully observed and car
ried out. This was the understanding at Gin
cnnati, and was the identical ground upon
which the nomination was decided. Mr.. Buch-
anan himself succeeds Mr.. Pierce upon this
principle, and he has announced, also, in his in
augural, that he Preserves the same dagger for
himself at the end of his four years term. Be.
sides, there are special reasons Of public policy
for changing from hand to hand the patronage
of the Federal Government which do not apply
to State and municipal officers. An official aris'
tocracy in the Federal Government is not to be
endured
