Tie Heavenly shore.

Evening Commercial.
40 following lines are said to have been dictat
y the spirit of Edgar A. Zoe to spiritua
ium who must have had some genius herself
From the throne Of life eternal,
From tho home of love supernsl,
Where the angel feet make music
Over all the starry floor,
Mortsls, have come to meet you,
Come with words of love to greet you,
And to tell you of the glory
That is mine forever more.
Once be- orc found mortal
Waiting at the Heavenly portal
Waiting but to catch the echo
From that ever opening door,
And seized his quickening being,
And through all his inward seeing
Caused my burning aspiration
In fiery food to pour!
Now cone more meekly human,
And the weak lips of woman
Touched with fire from Oft the altar
Not with burning as of yore,
But, in holy love descending
With her chastcned beiug blending,
would fill your souls with music
From the b ight celestial shore.
As one heart yearns for another
AS chi turns to its mother
From the golden gates of glory
Turn | to the earth once more;
Where my soul was stung to madness,
And LIES bitter burning pillows
Swept my burdened being Ger.
Here the narpies and the ravens
Human vampires, sordid cravens-
irtyed upon my soul and substance,
Til l writhed in anguish sore;
Lie and seemed then mismated,
For felt accursed and fated,
Like restless, wrathfut spirit,
Wandering gu the Stygian shore.
Tortured by a nameless yearning,
Like frost freezing-burning
Did the purple pulsing life-tide
Thro' its tevered channels pour,
TIL the golden bowl-lite's token
Into shining shreds was broken,
My chained and chafng spirit
Leapt from out its prison door.
But while living, striving dying
Never did my soul cease crying
" Ye who guide the Fates and Fairies,
Give, oh, give me, implore,
From the myriad hosts of nations,
From the countless consultations,
One pure spirit that can love me
One that ], too, can adore p
Thro' this fervent aspiration
Found my fainting soul salvation
For from out its blackened tire-crypts
Did my restless spirit soar
And my beautiful ideal
Not too sanity to be real,
Burst more brightly on my vi.len,
Than the fancy-forned Lsnors
Mid the surging seas she found me
With the pillows breaking round me,
And my saddened, sinking spirit
In her arms of love upbore
Like a lone one, weak and weary,
Wandering in the midnight dreary
On her sinless, saintless bosom
Brought me to the heavenly shore.
Like the breath OF blossoms blending,
Like the prayers of saints descending,
Like the rain-bow's seyen-hued glory,
Blend our souls for evermore.
Earthly love and lust enslaved me,
But Divinest love has saved me,
And know now first and only,
How to love and to adore.
Oh, my mortal friends ard brothers,
We are each and all another's
and the soul that gives most freely
From its treasure hath the more;
Would you lose your life you fad it,
And in giving love you bind it,
Like an amulet ofsatety,
On your heart forever more

disposal of the Governor of Maine, was adop-

Mr.. Trumbull opposed the bill and desired
to know where the matter was to stop-every
day we read accounts of fires, and if Portland
was to be relieved relief for other cities would
be expected and asked

marked that appropriations had recently
been made for the Freedmen's Bureau.
Mr.. Trumbull said there was no analogy.
Mr.. Davis regarded the bill unconstitutional.
Mr.. Buckalew alluded to the destruction of
