Bring the Nations wealth to the Nations need
Let the golden'Veins Of the mountainJ bleed
Bid the Pallid pulses Of silver start
From the sordid depths ofthe eaath's black hear
There are burning rubies that gem the sod;
Inere are trampled pearls where the battle trod
? here are brilliants hrobbing with glorious life
Scattered like chaf on the field Of strife;
Yet the passive hand Of the nation sleeps
Cold on the key Of the treasure heaps
And Columbias need Is IN whispers told
here her rivers dash on a shore Of gold
Where her emperor hills in their pride took down
On tue golden fringe Of their mautles brown.
Where the sunbeams glitter on sand AS bright,
And the sod is spangIed with silver light,
Is the warm true life of the Nations veins
Less than the dust Of the yellow plains,
! hat we hear the cry Of the Treasury's need
Where trampled bosoms exultant bleed2
elOquence, are thy bright lips dumb
SOul-power; is thy arm of puissance numb2
Open the vault where the gold dust shinesl
GIVE US the key of the silver mines
Was the treasure stored by the Natioa's God,
In the mountain cave and the valley sod,
To purchase a circlet Of diamonds rare
For the snowy hand of a milliOnaire2
Was it hidden away ia the mountain ledge,
Lapped under the hem of the strehmet's edge,
To trail brOcade through festive place,
Or cover a shOddy breast with lace
Was it sifted in ashes of golden light,
O'e: blossoming valley and rocky height,
To wrap pollution in tissues fine,
Or sparkle and fade in the blush Of wine7
Oh, is it not rightly the Nation dover,
A treasire kept for the stormy hour,
To help our hope to its lofty aim,
To free our land from the blush Of shame,
To strengthen the power of the crimson wave
That cancels, forever, the name Of SLAVE;
To make the belt of the Union strong,
To uphold the right, redressfHe wrong
Speak, lips that boast Of patriof right /
Act, arms that thrill with a patriot mi ght
Open the vault where the gold dust shines,
Give US the key TO the silver mines ]
Wealth, wealth, wherevera thought can 90,
From Arizona to Idaho,
Where the silver feet OF Nevada light
A pathway under the sod
Where the finger white of the Wasatch height
Points to the throne of God
Where the young Montana, lifting up;
The wine Of life in golden cup,
Pledges the queen or the sunset sea
Who crushed the grapes for the revelry;
Where California, the Ocean bride,
Wears crimson roses with brIlliants tied
Where the wild snges stems of the desert die
In the cold, white marshes of alkali,
There are nerves and pulses that trembling start
10 quicken the throb Of nations heart.
Oh speak to them. Eluquence | softly speak,
Of the faded lip and the withered cheek;
P5r kk cause SGssi So holy, an arti so-hrgnI do
Do they share no part Ofthe glorious claim?
Hath their life no thrill for Columbia fame?
They answer, they answer, their true hands reach

They open the vault where the gold dust shines,
They give US the key Of the silver mines

DEPRAvED TAsTE-As incidents, illustra.

Imperial Court, our readers may be glad, or

ball at the Tuf1efies, the Count de Nieuwer-
kerke appeared and danced as POntius Pi-
late. The Count de Choiseui-whose mother,
the Duchess of Prasliu, was murdered BY his
father, the Duke-dressed as old Time, ca
pered after the we'll. known Countess de Cas-
tiglione, and of course, failed tn oVertake her
But more conspicuous than all was the young
Marchioness of Gallfet as Archangel Gab'
riel. She wore a.short, gold>embroidered pet"
ticoat of white cashmere, with glitteriug gold
scale,armour, fitting tight to the shape
Above her long, flowing golden hair blazed
diamond star, which literally seemed to hang
unsupported in the air. Her wings arched oVe'
her head, and reached to beneath her knees
As she danced, she brandished the sword o

perhaps, made the master of the ront look d

CANpon.-There is nothing sheds 50 60.

CANDoR.-There is nothing sheds so fine
a light upon the human mind as candor. 1t
was called whiteness by the ancients, to de-
note its purity and it has always won the
esteem due to the most. admirable virtues.
The man whose opinions make the deepest
impressions upon his fellow man. who InHuN
ence is most lasting and efficient, whose Trend
ship is instinctively sought where all Others
have profed faithless, is not the man OF orll>
liant parts or fIattering tongue, or splendid gen
ius, but he whose lucid candor and ingenious
truth transmit the hearts real feeling pure
and without refraction. There are other
qualities which are more showy, aud other
traits that have higher place in the world

er less tarnish by use, or claim deeper HON
age in that silent reverence which mind pays
to virtue.

CHICAGO, April 29.-The Reconstruction Com

upon the following resolution, which will be re-
ported to Congress to o-mOrrOw as an amendment
to the COnstitUtion, narnely;
SECTION |. No State shall make or enforce
any law which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of tue United States nor shall aHy
State deprive any person of life, liberty or prop
erty without due process of law; nor deny any
person within its jurisdiction equal protection Of
law.
SEC. 2. Representatives shall be apportioned
among the several States which may be included
within the Union according to their respective
numbers counting the whole number of persons
in each State, excluding Indians not taxed; but
whenever in any State the elective franchise
shall be denied to any portion of its male citi-
zens, not younger than twenty lone years of age,
or in any way abridged, except for participation
in the rebellion or other crimes, the basis Of
representation of such State shall be reduced in
the proportion in which the number of such
male citizens not entitled to the franchise shall
bear to the whole number of male citiZe ms lot
less than twenty-one years of age.
SEC 8. On and up to the 4th Of July, 1870,
all persons who Voluntarily adhered to the late
insurrectOn giving aid aud comfort, shall be
excluded from the right TO vote for members of
Congress and for Electors for President and
Vice President of the United States.
SEC. 4. Neither the United States nor any
State will assume or pay any debt or obligation
already incurred, nor which may hereafter be
incurred, in aid of the insurrectlon against the
United States, or claim compensation for the loss
of involuntary servitude or labor.
SEc 5. Congress shall have power TO enforce,
by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this
article.
The committee agreed to the bills accompany
ing the above prov ositonS, one of which pro-
vides for the admission of Senators and Repre-
sentatives from late rebellious States, in Con-
gress, wherever the above amendment is ratified
as part of the Federal Constitution. Another

| Offices, State or Federal, including Vice Presi-
| dent, heads Of departments, agents 10 foreign
countries, governors, officers of the army above
the rank of Colonel, officers of the navy above

quently gave aid or comfort to the rebellion.
The above propositions were adopted by the
committee by vote OF IL against 3, Senator
Johnson and Representatives Grider and Rogers
| Votingno.
The question requiring negro suffrage after
ten years, was not pressed in the committee
even Thad. Stevens consenting to drop it. The
committee then voted to remove the ban of Sc
erecy, aud considerable satisfaction was ex-
pressed that the committee had come to final
conclusion.
