MOurnful Voices.

There are voices mournful voices that are speaking
Years have filed cup of sorrow, sadness sits upon
my brow
Death the stern and death the mighty stretches out
his chilling wand,
And my sister, little sister, sleeps to wake in
Spirit-land.
Bus-eyed child of sunny summer, winter winds
are very cold
For the fragile, heavenly flowers, planted in this
earthly mold;
So the angels bore thee upward to the garden of
our God,
Raising up the fallen flowers when the storm had
chilled the sod. go,
Little children make death beautiful, so sweetly
still they lie:
But oh they forget to waken when they once have
learned to die!
Yet murmured Ger my sister, lying peacefully
+ and mild, tii" S'
Oh! that could turn me back again and die, like
| her, a child!
For with childhood pleading for me, sealed by death
upon my brow,
'Twere blessing thus like her to lie: but oh
what were it now!
Blessed fields where fancy wanders often in the
silent night SO. 81 lj.Ft
Have searched along your pathways for a beauti
ful, a bright
Girlish form that clung to me once like little
clambering vine;
And long to sleep and wake with thee in heaven
sister mine.
And when clouds roll up the heavens from the
depths afar below,
Forming places of spendor where the sunset lance:
glow,
Or the stars shine on the battlements and CROWD
around the dome; 11 rE
And beneath, bllows of moonlight surging, as i
si.ersward, come; " c1f
Oft think that thou arrgliding, with step heal
no more,
By the pillars, by the arches, through the blue
star-hinged door,
Stretching out a hand of welcome from the spirit
haunted shore.

MI. CHANDLER said:
Mr.. President, the Senator from
Kentucky Mr. 3reckinridge1 yesser=
day did me the honor to allude to re-
MAX that / made the other evening
on the subject of blood letting, and
called it my doctrine, or words to that
effect. The Senator from Kentucky
evidently was not present when made
those remarks; because, if he had been
present, he would have seen that l am
not entitled, to the origination of that
doctrine. It was, as then stated,
very eminent son of Virginia who first
promulgated the idea of the necessity
OF 3loodletting; it was an eminent son
OF his own State of Kentucky as well
as OF Virginia; for, if ! remember
rightly, in 1887 Kentucky was part
of Virginia. / read then, and now
'call his attention to the fact, that read
an extract from the writings of Thomas
Jefferson on that point; and / will read
it again-it is very brief because, while
1 am disposed to take all the credit to
myself which is my due, I object to
plagiarism of this kind, and / object to
having the honor conferred upon me
which belongs to so distinguished
gentleman. 1 will again read the ex-
tract which l read that night from the
writings of Thomas Jefferson. In a
letter from Paris, on the 18th of No
vember, 1887, Thomas Jefferson said
| read this for the benefit of the Sena-
tor from Kentucky, who could not have
been present or he would not have
given me this credit:
