THE VOICES AT THE THRONE.

THE VOICES AT TIE THRONE.
A little child
A little, meek.faced, quiet village child,
Sat singing, by her cottage door at eve,
A low, sweet Sabbath song. No human car
Caught the faint melody No human eye
Beheld the upturnod aspect or the smile
That wreathd her innocent lips the while they
breathed
The on repeated burden Of the hymn
q Praise God Praise Cod"
seraph by the Thron,
In the full glory stood. With eager hands
He smote the golden harp-striug, till flood
OF harmony on The celestial air
Welled forth unceasng. Then with great voice
He sang the " Holy holy, evermoro,
Lord God Almighty l' And the eternal courts
Thrilled with the rapture, and the hiearchios,
Angel. and rapt archangel throbbd and burned
With vehement alteration Higher yet
Rose the majestic anthem without pause,
Higher with rich magnihccnce Of sound
To its full strength and still the infinite heaven
Rang with the " Holy holy, evermore;'
Till trembling with awe and love,
Each sceptred spirit sank before the Throne
With mute Halleluiah. But even then,
While the ocstatic song was at rs height,
Stole in an alien voice. faint but how sweet
That blended with the seraphs rushing strain
Even rs a fountains music with the roar
OF the rcyerbrate thunder Loving smiles
Lit up the beauty Of each angels face
AZ that new uterancei smiles Of joy, that grew
More joyous yet us ever and anon
Was heard the simple burden Of the hymn
Praise God Praise Godl' And when the seruphs
song
Had reached iis close, and DER the golden Tyre
Silence hung brooding-whcn the eternal courts
Rang with but echoes of his chant sublime
Still through the abyssma space that wand ring voice
Come floating upward from its world afar,
Still murmured sweet on the celestial air,
Praise God Praise Godi"

The SECRETARY or rae TREASURY ON SrxcE
PAYMENrs.-It II reported that Mr.. McCulloch
will urge in his forthcoming report to Con-
gress "the necessity Of some legislation for the
purpose Of bringing about an early resumption
of specie payments" II is quite likely he
may do this, ~ II would accord with both his
ofhcial and unofficial language heretofore. In
his former report to Congress aud on other
occasions, especially in his Fort Wayne speech,
he said a great deal about an early resump-
ton Of specie payments But the Secresary's
acts are not in accordance with the theory he
proclsims. In fact, we have reason to believe
he merely lets on little buncombe in these
reports and speeches. Although he is by no
means great Ananeier or statesman, we can
not help thinking he has sense enough 70 see
the fallscy and imprscticsbiiity OF such
theories. At least his Official experience In
the Treasury Department ought TO have taught
him that He makes himself liable to the sus-
picion that he is either attempting to humbug
the public or working Ia favor Of Jay Cooke
4 Company and other money traders and
spectators In the first case II would be dis
g9ysrppen.. deserving tas severest con-
domination; and In the second 1t would
be simply an act that ought 10 cause bis re-
i1SStsl frop Office. No statesman or respectable
high public fauctionary would deceive the
people in sach patter; end for the Secretary
of the Treasury to use his position In mvOrHSs
money traders and spectators would be a
grave offence.
II may be, however, that Mr.. McCulloch is only
ignorant Of the laws governing great questions
Of national finance and currency. II 10 possible
that be has not studied history or is unable TO
comprehend the lessons II teaches. A forced
or too sudden return TO specie payments under
similar circumstances in which we are placed
has never failed to produce the most dis
astrous consequences, and In our case II would
cause universal bankruptcy and general distress.
The truth IL we are In prosperous and
healthy financial condition. We are gradually
approKimssing = specie standard, and shall
reach chat point ~ soon ss II will be desirable
to do 40, by the natural growth Of the country
aud The laws Of trade. To attempt forcing
specie payments would be ruinous 10 the mass
Of the people and the industrial interests OF
the country. The only class that would be
benefited are the money traders and bond
holders All others would suffer Let US
hope, therefore, that the rumor from Washing
ton about Mr. McCullooh urging legislation for
forcing early specie payments may BE- un-
founded or, II true, that he will have the
good sense 10 reconsider such q proposed
aaino1s ooaIss,
