MY WIFE.

have pleasant little wife,
Who nothing nothing lacks;
She keeps herself and things about
= The house as neat as wax
And everything, with woman's taste,
Seems placed expressly for
The pleasure Of a man who long
Has lived a bachelor.
Her handkerchieGs are white as milk,
.. Her skirts as white as snow,
Her slip2ered feet are small aud neat,
And always "on the CO."
She floats about as if tpborne
!. On gum elastic springs,
Or some unseen mysterious power,
, With undiscovered wings.
der glossy hair is deepest brown,
Her eyes are softly dark.
And from their loving depths shoot forth
e.. Full many II cheerful spark;
Her smiles and speeding on their eight
The swift wing rosy hours,
And what was once my darksome way
Is radient now with flowers.
My linen has a glossy white,
More pure than ever shone
On Payian marble, and, what's mare,
There's ne'er button gone.
She knits me socks, makes me shirts,
And d&rrs up all my rents,
And saves me half OF what vas ence
My bachelor expense.
Now, all you crusty bachelors,
With hfe's great battle sore,
Co get n vie and settle down,
And play the fool no more.
Don't be too nicc-they're angels ALL
With loving hearts and true,
Tile secret is, be kj7d to them,
Amd HCyI be Kind to you.

psct that he will, between now and the
meeting of congress, avail himself of the
authority conferred upon him by law, and
proclaim general amnesty to all persons
who were in any way connected with the
late rebellion, wholly generating them
from all pains, penalties and disabilities,
and, of course, releasing all who are in
prison.
To render this browning act Of grace in
some degree acceptable to the loyal states,
it is intimated that the president will in
some way recommend to the south that
the right of suffrage shall be extended
there to those colored men who can rea /
and write.
In short, this compromise now being
hatchcd out at the White House appears
to be the old reconstruction proposition
presented to the United States Senate on
the 10th of March last by Senator Stew
art Of Nevada
In presenting that proposition Senator
Stewart read 4 dispatch from the prc>i-
dent to Provisional Governor Sharkey of
Mississippi, IN which he suggested eniran-

or who owned real estate. Il hope and
trust" said Mr.. johnson, ''your convem-
ton will DO this, and rs a consequence the
radicals, who are wild upon negro fran
elise. will be completely foiled in their at
tempts to keep the southern states from
renewing their relations to the Union by
not accepting their senators and represent
atives''
1t remains to be seen whether the north

| the acceptance of any scheme which nom
lna.ly permits a small fraction of the freed
men TO vote. As Mr.. johnson has ex-
pressed his Views only those colorcd men
can vote who can read the constitution in
English and write their names, or who
| own real estate worth two hundred and
fifty dollars ; but he does not mpartiaily
propose to exclude from the ballot boxes
he many white southernerS, not already
voters, who can neither read nor write. OF
those who cwn no property.
The president has displayed his politi-
cal diplomacy in obtaining the views of
leading men from the north and from the
south on this proposition of amnesty and
suffrage, but he has not positively COM
united himself, except So far As to impress
the SuuthernerS with whom he has con-
vcr>cd with the firm conviction that he
intends to declare a general amnesty which
will release them from all the penalties at
tached by law to treason. Others say that
he will simply recommend congress 10
adopt the Stewart resolution Prl,y IN
