ROMANCE.
By OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Oh! she was maiden of laughing eye,
And she lived in garret cold and high,
And he was a threadbare whiskered beau,
And he lived in cellar damp and low.
ut 'he rosy boy of the chernb wing
Hath many shaft in his slender string;
And the youth below and the maid above
Were touched with the flashing darts of love.
And she would wake from her troubled sleep,
O'er his tender billet-doux to weep;
Or stand like statue cold and fair,
Aud gaze on lock Of his bright red hair.
And he who was late so tall and proud,
With his step so firm and hs laugh so loud,
His board grew long and his face grew thin,
And hc pined in solitude over his gin.
But one soft night in the month of June,
As she lay in the light of cloudless moon,
a voice came tloating soft and clear,
To the startled madcns listening ear.
Oh. then from her creaking couch She sprung,
And her tangled trcsses back she flung,
She looked from her window far below,
And he stood beneath, her whiskered beau!
She did not start with foolish frown,
But packed her trunk and scamper'd down,
And there was her lover tall and true,
Ia his threadbare coat of the brightest blue.
The star that rose in the evening shade,
j. Oked sadly down on weeping maid;
Tne sun that came in his morning pride.
Shed golden light DER laughing bride.

teal danger is involved in it. The future ale
glance Of the late traitors who have been par
dOned by the President. may be as securely re-
lied upon as that of any class of people IN the
South There is no reason to doubt that they
have taken the oath of allegiance III absolute
good faith. They can have no motive to break
| it. Nobody believes a renewal OF rebellion
possible. 1t is not fit that these Representa-
tives and Senators elect should be excluded
from the halls of national legislation merely as
a punishment If it is best to punish them,
it should be done with the regular pains and
penalties of the law, visited upon their proper
ty and persons There is no such Independent
punishment known to the statute book as ex-
clusjon from places of public trust That ex-
clusiOn is only incidental to some high penal
conviction. This test oath was intended to be
simply protective, not at all punitory 1t is
no longer necessary for protective purposes.
because there is no longer treason, either ac-
tual or potential. Yet we respect that feeling
which shrinks from giving the exalted seats of
the national capitol to men SO lately covered
from crown to sole with treason, even though
they now show nothing but loyalty. But ought
that feeling to be INDUCED at the expense of
the best interests of the country, which impc-
rlousl y call for an early reconstruction ~

WHAT VERDI Dip. Verdi, when his fame
was just rising, was at Milan, and the Austrian
commander, delighted with his music, sent for
him and asked him to write march for the
Austrian Army. Fcrdy replied, coldly, Il
can only write retreat for it, which SO in
censcd the white coat that he replied, u ask
ed you as favor to write march; | now
command you to do SO. DO you understand p
" Perfectly, replied the composer. "And
you consent! There is no choice left me,
and you shall have the march this evening. -
That evening the march was delivered, and
two, days att it was played by all the bands,
to the intense JOY Of the Milanese, who reeog
nized i'll it skillfully interviewer air, known as
y Fuori barbari" Away with the Barbarians ,
or course Verdi had prudently nade himself
scarce, Or he might have got score to score.
