The HOMONYMS OF CONGRESS.-As usu-
al the list of members contains several ho-
m"nyms, which renders it particularly ne
cessary to point at Their initials in order to
distinguish them. For example, we find
five Jones, two i'm the Senate and three in
the Chamber, and what is worse, six Davis,
two of whom bear the name of Timothy
the one from Iowa. the other from Massa-
chus' it's. How shall we recognize tkem.
without mentioning their respective Suites.
1t is much to be feared that they will mutu-
ally discover each others secrets from
inevitable errors at the Postoffice. And
what may not ensue! Afterwards come

three Thompson, two Marshall. two Clay.
two Seward, two Shaw, two Taylor, two
Houston, two Sherman, two Wilson, two
Mason, two Hall. three Stuart or Stewart,
two Phelps, two Morse, two Harris, and
two Morris. The Smiths are comparative
ly rare this sessieR-only two in the Cham
Der and none in the Senate. This is much
below the usual proportion. and we must
believe. with one of our compatriots, that
the Smiths have generally been placed this

But love the flowers that bloom in May,

And tho the world may gloomy be,

most brilliant writer's Of the passing hour.
was a cooper i'm Aberdeen, One of the ed
itors of the London Daily Journal was a
baker in EIgin: perhaps the best reporter of
the London Times was a weaver in Edin-
burgh; the editor of the Witness was a
stone mason. One of the ablest ministers
in London was a blacksmith in Dundee,
and another was a watch maker in Bauff.
The late DIR. Milne, Of China, was herd
boy in Thyme. The principal of the Lon
don Missionary Society's College at Hong
Kong was saddler in Huntley; one of the
best missionaries that ever went to India
was tailor in Keith. The leading machin-
list on the London and Birmingham Rail
way, with f700 year, was a mechanic in
Glasgow, and perhaps the very richest iron
founder in England was a working man in
Morab. Sir James Clark, her Majesty's
physician, was druggist in Bauf. Joseph
Hume was a sailor first, and then laborer
at the mortar and pestle in Montrose; Mr.
McGregor, the member from Glasgow, was
poor boy in Ross shire; James Wilson, the
member from Westbury, was ploughman
in Iaddington; and Author Anderson, the
member from Orkney, earned his bread by
the sweat of his brow in the Ultima Thule.
These men, however, spent their leisure
hoursin acquiring useful knowl dye. They
could not have reached the eminence they
did, hanging round hose and engine houses,
or wasting hours away IN taverns.
