AN AGED LOVER mo longer lover"
exclaimed an aged patriarch, "ah you
mistake me if you think that age has
blotted out my heart. Though silver hairs
fall over brow ali Wrinkled and cheek
all furrowed, yet am lover still. love
the beauty of maiden's blush, the soft
tints of the flowers, the singing Of birds,
and above all. the silvery laugh Of II child.
love the starlight meadows. where the
buttercups grow, with almost the same
enthusiasm as when, ringIctS flying loose
in the wind, years ago, chased the paint
ed butterfly. ! love yon aged dame
Look at her Her face is careworn, but
it has ever held a smile for me. Often
have / shared the same hitter cup with
her; and, so shared, it seemed all sweet.
Years IS sickness have stolen the fresh
ness of life; but, like the faded rose, the
perfume of her love is richer than when
in the full bloom of maturity. Together
we have placed flowers in the easements,
and folded the hands of the dcad-to-
Erther we have wept over little graves
Through sunshine and storm we have
clung together; and now she sits with her
knitting, her cap quantity frlled, the old
style kerchief crossed. white and prim,
about the heart that beats so long ami tru-
ly for me, the dim, blue eyes that shrink
ingly front the glad day, the sunlight,
throwing Il parting farewell, kisses her
brow and leaves upon it faint tTacery of
wrinkles angelic radiance l see, though
no one else can, the bright, glad young
face that won me first, and growing love
of forty years thrills my heart till tears
come. Say not again that can no longer
be lover. Though this form be bowed,
God planted eternal love within. Let the
ear be deaf, the eye blind, the hand pal
sled, the limbs withered, the brains cloud
d,-yet the heart, the true heart, may
hold such wealth Of love, that all the
powers Of death and the victorious grave
shall not be able to put out its quenchless
flame"

Mr. BRIGHT's SPEECH.

Mr.. Bright said perhaps what he should
say had better have been said weeks ago.
lie thanked the Judiciary Committee for
the favorable report which had been
made, though one of their npmber (Mr
Foster) had given way under. unprece-
dcnted pressure. The reasons might be
satisfactory to that member, but he doubt.
ed whether they would be to even-handed
justice. His main object in speaking now
was to place himself right on the page of
history; if he could succeed in that, he
would be content. lie was amazed at the
party spirit exhibited against him, and
the numerous charges brought against
him. He might with propriety have ask
ed for counsel; but, conscience having
said that he had done, written, and voted
Cor nothing Inconsistent with his preroga-
tive as an American Senator, he had not
claimed that right, and he did not regret
not doing so. He should not try to
shield himself from partisan blows, but
challenged investigation into all the acts
Of his political life. He had been hOnored
by the State of Indiana thrice by seat in
the Senate of the United States, and had
been in the confidence of the Senate, and
had received the highest honor they had
given. lie said this in answer. to those
who had questioned his antecedents, and
sought to prejudice him in the minds of
his countrymen. He referred them to the
letter he had written to Mr. Jefferson Da-
Wis, and to the character given him by
Mr.. Lincoln, who had known him for
many years, and who always considered
him a worthy man. He contended that
that letter was a simple letter of introduc-
ton, and its address had no intention to
recognize the rig0 of Mr.. Davis to any
title. 1t was only . mere courtesy, and
only followed the example Of others on
the floor Of the Senate. The Senator from
Maine, in his assault on him, had said his
address was like courtier. If the Sena-
tor had known him better, he would have
known that was not one of his faults
If he had been SycOphantic, he might
have got votes, but all he asked for was
justice. When the letter was written, he
did not believe there would be war. He
referred to the Presidents inaugural, the
acts of the POstofficc Department, and
the Secretary Of States Dispatches, to
show that on the 1st of March 1t was not
believed generally that there would be
war. He did not believe there would be
war till the fall Of Sumter. After this
there was war, aud he should not have
given the letter to Davis. lie had not
the most distinct recollection Of having
written letter to Davis, or other letter OF
introduction to Capt. Franklin. 1t had
been argued against him, that he had said
that he would do the same again. He
would repeat it and be meant it, that if
be believed there was to be no war, he
would give such letter to Al old friend.
