What happy blending Of truth and poetry Il
the following exquisite gem by Eliza Cook
'Tis well to win, It's well 10 we'd,
For so the world hath done,
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, ye young and fair,
Be sure ye wed with truth
Becertain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth.
For If you give not heart Tor heart,
As well as hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the 'unwse' part,
And built upon the sand.
IT'S wellto save, 'tis we'll TO have
A goOdly share of gold;
And hold enough of the shining stuff
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust,
IN what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust,
Unmixed with purer things.
Ahu ne Wno PutS up Wehltu hioner
Will often have TO stand
Beside his coffer-chest, and own
IT'S built upon the sand
'Tis good TO speak in kindly guise,
And soothe where'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stay mo- at the gentler words,
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds,
Shsuld shatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true,
Must lend helping hand
For those who talk, yet fail to do,
But build upon the sand"

There are signs of serious disposition on
the part of Government to bring its whole

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 2. Last night
large crowd collected before the Presi-
dents house, where he was serenaded by
the firing Of cannon, and the music Of
the Marine Band. He appeared at the
window, and returned thanks for the hon
or, saying that the best interests Of the
country were involved in the contest
which has so happily been ended, and he
hoped and believed that the passage Of
4 the Kansas bill would tend to promote
the peace and prosperity of the Union.
Senators Toombs and Gwin, and Messrs.
/ Clay Letcher and Stevenson of the House
also spoke, the former regarding the re-
suit as a pacifcation in which there has
been no dishonor anywhere.
Senators Bigler, Green, and Represen-
tatiyes J. Clancy Jones and English
were serenaded at their residences, and
made speeches Of exultation over the
/ passage Of the Kansas bill, regarding it
as a measure Of peace, not only for Kan
sas, but the whole country-a measure
Of union for the States, and Of union for
the Democratic party; and as putting an
end to the question Of slavery, which has
so long distracted the country.
Gov. Walker, in his recent letter to
Messrs. Cox and Lawrence, said the
Conference bill was interpreted by him
as in precise conformity with his view:
and course, not only in Kansas but since
his return, and in following the patl
where his duty and his conscience Lex
him, he must support it. He adds: 'Th'
odious Lecompton Constitution, born il
fraud and baptized in perjury, win be de
:, feated by an overwhelming vote of thu
- people of Kansas thus demonstrating
by practical result the truth Of my in
i depreciation, that this bill does in fac
