Washington, April IA.
House--The House went into committee
on the bill to establish an Auxiliary Guard
for the protection Of life and property in
Washington. The bill was discussed i'll
one O'Clock, when, on motion Of Mr. Mont
gomery, of Penn. the committee rose and
and the House took up the Kansas bill.
Amessage from the senate insisting on
its disagreement and asking for commit
tee of conference, was read.
Mr.. Montgomery moved that the House
insist on its adherence, and demand the pre-
vious question.
Mr.. English of Ind. inquired whether, if
the Committee of Conference be ordered by
The House, parliamentary law and practice
require the majority of the committee to be
composed of gentlemen representing the
majority of the House, or majority of
these in favor of the House BILL
Mr.. Stanton, of Ohio, said if it was not
cut of order he would object to the question
because. it would provoke Undergraduates
on the other side.
Mr.. English gave notice that if the motion
before the House was voted down he would
move for a committee Of conference. The
House voted on second demand for the
the previous question with the following re-
suit: Yeas, lO8; Nays, 1913. The speaker
voted in the negative. Question lost.
Mr.. English, that he might not be misun-
derstood. said that he was opposed to the
Senate bill in its present shape. but, not
witbstanding. he was willing to hear what
the Senate had to say, and was in favor OF
the appointment Of committee Of confer
ence. He could not see that any harm
would result from it, and therefore he NOV
{ ed that the House agree to committee o.
conference on the subject matter of the dis
agreeing votes, and that three members be
appointed on the part of the House on this
proposition. He called for the previous
question.
Mr.. Washburne, of Me-. raised the ques
ton that it was not in order for Mr.. Eng
glish to make that motion. The House
has adheared, and until it reconsderes tina
action, it was not in order to make the mo
: ton.
The speaker overruled the point OF or

explanation of his vote.

The construction of any public work, OF
great general ility, ought to be matter
Of profound interest with all, especially
with the persons Immediately benefited;
nor should this interest stop short Of an
earnest corporation, as far as may be, in
the common enterprise. 1t is in this way.
and this only, that our country now enjoys
those important rail road facilities that she
does, and May have the hope of seeing 9TH
ers still completed OF equally as great al
ity to the public.
The question of the completion OF the
above named road, is now being pretty
generally sgitated, and the final result OF
the matter is looked forward to BY the pub
lie with great interest. 1t is scarcely nec-
essary to point out the importance OF this
connection. One need only take the map
and glance at the termini of this road,
when completed, and the range of country
through which it passes. to arrive at this.
1t must always take the preference over
any other route between Cincinnati and
Chicago, both because it is the most di-
rect. and also because it will be an unbro-
ken line. This is, of itself, sufficient to rank
Il among the most important thoroughfares
Of our country. and ensure it a fair, pay
ing business. In addition to this, the
whole line passes through some of the I'm
est portions of our State-a part OF which

they look upon the little coin, which holds
the cold, lifeless remains of that dear one,
rs it is lowered down to its last resting
place and hear the clods of earth as they
strike with startling force upon the coffin
lid, they most deeply realize this solemn
truth, 1--WE are passing--passing away"
Go with me to the death bed of the
christian. His friends are gathered around
him, and they are listening for the last
lime 20 the voice of instruction from his
lips. He is spending the few remaining
moments of his life--standing as it were
upon the confines of the other world-in
pointing out toshose around him the way
to those realms of eternal happiness be-
yonG the grave; where sin, sorrow. care,
sickness nor death never come. His voice
grows weaker and weaker and more trem-
ulous; at last he sinks back upon his pillow,
his countenance is Int up with celestial
light, and as the scenes of earth are pass
ing from his sight, his lips move, and he
family, o, how family whispers, "they
are passing away; "and as he turns his eyes
Heavenward he catches glimpse of the
haven beyond, where in the full fruition of
his faith he expects to dwell forever in the
sunshine of Divine Love. With JOY he
receives the messengers who have come &c
conduct him to his eternal home, and as
the silver cords of life are severed he soft
ly murmurs, 'Father. Savior. l eome."
and with rapture. she, too. passes away"
Yes there is solemn yet sweet and qui-
ct Joy in this truth. The weary wayfa-
ring man as he tolls beneath the cares of
this life, often finds sweet consolation in the
thought that this is not his eternal HON e;
the poor, afflicted and distressed, recei re
new hope from the thought that they are
passing away" Parents as they stand
around the graves of their children and
weep over their loss; the children as they
mourn over departed parents, they may all
receive consolation from this truth. A few
short days or years and we shall meet them,
for, ave. too, are passing away" The
husband or wife as they stand beside the
silent remains Of their chosen companions,
and look for the last, upon the closed eye
and paid face of that loved one, memory
runs back to the spring time of life when
youth and gladness beautifcd everything
around them, and they recall the time when
the hearts best affections were pledged to
the now silent one, and they follow along
down through the years of happy inter
course which has since elapsed until the
time when Death claimed the cherished
one; it is then that the heart sinks under
the accumulation of sorrows and griefs,
and a sense of loneliness ana desolaiion
fills the soul; but a ray Of hope illumines
the heart and quiet, peaceful joy steals
through the soul rs they realize that,
"1Aey, too, are passing, rapidly, silently
a,ray," to meet those loved ones gone be-
