For the Spirit of the Age

Affection seems to give keener penetra-
ton to the eye, as we'll as greater sensitiveness
to the mind; and although the heart may be
we'll schooled in concealing its emotions, and
the countenance betray 40 anguish, yet how
quickly does the heart throb as it sees some
cold or disdainful look, that the happy world
never notice; or with what quick ,joyousness
bound at a look of affection or kindly deed.
Every word, look or action of those who are
loved, is treasured up, to bid hope arise and
drive the shadows away, or else cast it farther
away from the weary bosom and turn it
away quivering and bleeding. Oh! the af-
ticted should be regarded kindly, for we
know not how much good we may do by it;
and if afflicted for error, we know not how
kind words and loving sympathy may lead
back to virtues path.

New STYLE OF DEADHEADING.-The Bos-
ton Mass Ledger states that a conductor
upon the Eastern Railroad, a day or two since,
discovered, when the train arrived at New
buryport, a young man under a lady's hoops.
1t appeared that he had attempted to dead
head it in that way, and had succeeded so far
as to ride all the way from Portland to New
buryport under the cover ~ofvoluminous GRIN
oline of his lady friend.

Nix. EDIToR;-I hope you will pardon a
stranger for imposing a communication up
on you. Though we are strangers, and live
III distant lands, yet am glad to say we are
not strangers to the great and noble cause
you advocate in your most excellent paper.
| am proud to say to you that we have tas-

any place in the State, of its size, for newspa-

paper devoted to the interests of that section.
It's motto seems to be, addressing itself to our

The following verse contains every letter

other:

Congressional.

We have hoped that we should be able
this week to announce the organization of
the House, and some steps in the proper
course of legislation, but We are disap-
pointed. The Congressional report of
this week is essentially the same as last
and for general use it might as well be
stereotyped. On Monday the democracy
in the Senate had a discussion among
themselves and by the time tor adjourn
ment had wesried all the Republican
members out of the Senate. In the house
there were three ballots, the first with
about the usual result. After this Mr..
Bocock withdrew and two more ballots
were taken, Sherman retaining his position
with no concentration by those opposed to
him.
On Wednesday in the Senate Message
was received from the President on Exc
cutive business and the Senate went into
executive sessions after which the Stand
ing Committee we're appointed.
In the House, Mr.. Boteler who
had been voted for by some Demo-
Gratis and Americans withdrew and nomi-
mated Mr.. Millson Of Va.
There was one ballot in which Sherman
had 100 and Millson SO.
On Thursday there was the usual dis
cussion and two ballots in the House, with
no more significant results
Friday, the Senate, after executive ses-
sion, adjourned to Tuesday. In the
House there was one ballot. Necessary to,l
choice l07, Sherman received lO8.
Saturday saw about the same re-
suit.
1t is quite impossible to give any idea
how long this state of things will exist,
but there is certainly no reason to fear
that the Republicans will yield an inch.
1t lie the administration and its friends
who are suffering BY the folly and they
