By THE RIVER,

Where the river seeks the cover
Of the trees whose boughs hang over,
And the slopes are green with clover,
In the quiet month of May;
Where the eddies meet and mingle,
Babbling DER the stony shingle,
There / angle,
There 1 dangle
All the day.
Oh It's sweet to feel the plastic
Rod, with top and butt elastic,
Shoot the line in coils fantastic,
Till, like thistle down, the fly
Lightly drops upon the water,
Thirsting for the finny slaughter,
As l angle,
And dangle
Mute and sly.
Then gently shake the tackle,
Till the barbed and fatal hackle
In its tempered jaws shall shackle
That old front, so wary grown.
Now strike him joy estate!
Scorning runs leaps acrobatic
So angle,
So dangle
Then when grows the sun too fervent
And the lurking trouts Observant,
Say to me, Your humble servant!
Now we see your treacherous hook
Maud, as if by hazard wholly,
Saunters down the pathway slowly,
While angle,
There to dangle
With her book.
Then somehow the rod reposes,
And the book no page uncloses;
But hear the leaves of roses
That unfold upon her cheek;
And her small hand, white and tender,
Rests in mine, Ah who can send her,
Thus to angle
While angle?
Cupid, speak!

SEWARD AND DOUGLAS" Occasional F"
writes to the Philadelphia Press


writes to the Philadelphia Press:
But the friends of Mr.. Seward are un>
daunted and untiring. They assert that he
is entitled to the nomination to the first Office
in the gift of the American people, because
he is the representative of the Republican
idea and, soeth to say, greatly slandered as
he has been, he is, in fact and in deed, among
the most liberal and enlightened men in the
congress of the United States. I had the
pleasure, some evenings ago, in mixed
company, to meet Mr.. Seward, for the third
time in my life, face to face, and to hear him
describe his European tour. The readers of
the Press will not soon forget the manner in
which Judge Douglas described to his
friends his trip to the old world, his visit to
st. Petersburg, his overland journey from
Odessa to the Russian capital, his conversa>
tion with the French Empress Eugene, and
the singular episode which occurred at one
of the Grecian ports when he heard of the
rescue of Kostza by the celebrated Captain
Ingraham. Mr.. Seward is quite as original
and interesting in his description of his ex~
perience in Europe as the distinguished sem
ator from Illinois. He drew contrast be-
tween the leaders of the British parliament
and the leaders of the American parliament,
and l was much struck with the manner in
which be confronted Brougham. and Stan
ley, and Disraeli, and others, with those
whom be had selected as their counterparts
in the United States. If he would only,
before an audience OF his countrymen, repeat
what heard him say the other evening, he
would confer a great benefit upon our
people. e 4S85

tributed selection.
WASHINGTON, March 9.

WASHINGTON, March 9.
Thaddeus Hyatt, of Boston, the contuma-
cious witness who has created so much stir
in the North among the Black Republicans,
was brought before the Senate this morning
for his defence.
Mr.. Hyatt was gotten up with great
care, and although pale, appeared to be per-
fectly selfpossessed. When asked what
excuse he had to make for not obeyiDg the
summons of the Committe, he produced
voluminous roll of manuscript, which the
Sergeant at Arms handed to the Secre-
tary to be read, but scarcely had the first
page been concluded before the reading was
interrupted. end debate sprung up, which
may prove interminable.
Mr.. Hyatt refuses to testify on the ground
that the Senate has no Constitutional power
to compel him to do so, and it is gener-
ally believed that this question will be def
nitely settled on this occasion, for MAORI
ty of the Senate appear to be disposed to
retain him in custody until he complies with
the requirements of the committee.

be enforced? The essence of the treaty is
the Intervention clause, but this could not be
made efectual without legislation.
The bill introduced into the House yester.
day, establishing Government printing
Office, authorizes the Superintendent of pub
lie printing to purchase building and ma.
terials and establish Government printing
Office. and appropriates 100000 for that
purpose. The Superintendent is to appoint
foreman of printing and foreman of bind
ing, at salaries of 81 500 each, and execute
all the printing and binding, ordered by the
Department and by Congress after March
4, 1861.
The Superintendent is to obtain paper for
the Government printing by contracts with
the lowest bidder. The Superintendent and
all the officers under him are prohibited from
being connected with any newspaper or
printing establishment under severe penal
ties.
