A Literary Curiosity.

Mr.. EDrroR:-The following speech
was made in the Missouri Legislature,
this winter, by Mr.. Dillon, the Rep
resentative from Ripley County. The
circumstances were these: A bill to
organize new county being before
the House, Mr.. Dillon, whose political
fortunes depended upon its success,
made some remarks, which, for evident
reasons. were not published. But Mr..
Dillon was intent on appearing in the
papers, and accordingly wrote out his
remarks himself and gave them to one
of the Reporters, with a request that
they be published. The speech below
is an exact copy of his manuscript,

BY VICTORIA sEGIxaLD


There il a castle strangely fair,
Where flowers of untold beauty bloom,
And through each arch the softened air
Brcathes forth dew of soft perfume,
On all the unknown glories there.
And vet not all that scene il bright
Fair flowers a baleful poison shed,
And pilgrims start in Wild alright,
From many yawning gulf ahead,
Which shows unfathomed depths of night.
There is a secret chamber-lone,
There stands golden Tyre rare.
Which, like wild Eolian's tone,
Forth gushing on the spell-bound air,
Makes melody of every moan.
BY spirit hands the chords are strung,
BY spirit breathings ever stirred,
Each note, whate'er its cadence, sung,
BY listening spirits heard,
BY spirits from the heart rt-strings wrung.
One note in warmly glowing pride,
With the hearts bright fires doth burn;
And one where the hearts hearth fires have
I'm chill despair, with cadence stern, (died
Shuts out the music of life's tide.
One lives in dewy mornings light;
One singeth in the cleaning gray;
One dwells in deepest, darkest night,
And one in the glowing noon-tide's ray
Undimncd as gold or rubies bright.
In full many a silent chord,
A richer, sweeter music dwells,
Than e'er the far famed poet poured
In tones, whose mellowed sweetness swelli
Through centuries, with laurels stored.
There silent in the hearts still gloom,
Within the portals close il lies;
Wasting around soft perfume,
Yet wasted not, cen though il dies;
Though one its natal place and tomb.
Who seekcth for the unspoke thought,
Which. buried in the hearts great deep,
With pure radiance, all unsought,
Than the varying rays that steep
Golconda's gems in loveliness inwrought7
Who knoweth what bright visions start,
Too glorious for mortal tongue;
Too glowing for the pencils art,
More burning than e'er poet sang
In the secret chambers of the heart.

From the Richmond (va.) Enquirer J
Labor.


Toll swings the axe. and forests bow;
The seeds break out in radiant blooms;
Rich harvests smile behind the plow,
And cities cluster round the loom;
Where tottering domcs and tapering spires
Adorn the vale and crown the hill,
Stout Labor lights its beacon fires,
And plumes with smoke the forge and mill
The monarch oak, the woodlands pride,
Whose trunk is scanned with lightning scars,
Toll launches on the restless tide,
And there unrolls the flag of stars;
The engine with its lungs of flame,
And ribs Of brass and joints Of steel,
From Labor's plastic fingers came,
With sobbing valve and whirling wheel
'Tis Labor works the magic press,
And turns the crank in hives of toll,
And beckons angels down to bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil.
Here sun Drowned Toll with shining spade
Links lake to lake with silver ties,
Strung thick with palaces of trade,
And temples towering to the skies.
