ment fthe Constitution: s-..g
F. 81 To empower Congress to lay an export
duty. .Ie-...''
Second To make national and State laws apply

Third. To prohibit the payment ofthe rebel debt,
After these amendments are disposed Of it is pro-
posed to declare first, that it ia expedient to pro-
wide territorial governments for Southern States.
until Congress shall see proper % pass enabling
acts, preparatory to the forming Of new contitn-
tions to re-enter the Union; which constitutions
must be declared by, Congress to be, Republican
(Blaek Republican, ID form. Second THAT SO long
President for reorganization of late rebel States
Congress ought to ratfy them, but not before said
States have legally ratified the constitutional
amendment abolishing slavery, and have abolished
all distinctions Of color and race in respect to all
civil and religious rights. 40

There's But One Pair Of Stocking I
Mend Tonight.

~
Mend Tonight.
An old wife sat by her bright Preside,
Swaying thoughtfully to and fro,
In an ancient chair, whose ereaky crow
Told tale of long ago;
While down by her side on the kitchen floor,
Stood basket ofAworsted balls--a score.
The good man dozed DER the latest news,
Till the light pf his pipe went out;g
And UNDECIDED the kittens, with cunning paws
Rolled and tangled the balls about; y 80 'f
Yet still sat the wifein the ancientehair, 4
Swaying to and fro in the freight glare. 4,
But anon misty tear.drop came
In her eyesSof faded blue, q Is.E
Then trickled down in furrow deep, ....,.-,,f
So deep w sp the alop Oa aew stream
The good man saw naught but the dimmed ey'
beam.
Yet marveled he much tina. the cheerful light,
ASd marvsle a i &c more 1t lie tangng ball.
Sorhe said in a gentle tone,ti 3! h2rHi
:" l have shared thy joys since our marriage VOW
Conceal not from me thy sorrow now"
Then she spoke Of the time when the basket there
Was filled to the very brim,
And now there remained of the goodly pile
q, But single pair-7fof him. 4. ,fg7 ,,c,.shyH
Then wonder not at the dimmed eye light,
cannot but think Of the busy feet -
Whose wrappings are wont 70 lay 4
In the basket awaiting the needle fleet
Now wandered SO far away; ......,-.,
How the sprightiy steps to a mother dear, W
Unheeded fall on a careless ear.
For each empty nook.in the basket old,
By the hearth there's an empty seat
And miss the shadow from the wall,
And the patter of many feet;
IT'S for this that a tear gathered over my sight
At the one pair of stockings to mend tonight.
Twas said that far through the forest wild,
And Der the mountains bold, 4 ~ 'st E6rti
+ Was land whose rivers and darkening caves
Were gemnled with the rarest gold.$5ps
There my first-born turned from the open door,
And knew the shadows were only four. "l'
Another went forth on the foaming waves,
And diminished the baskets store
q But his feet grew eoIdL-so weary and cold
They'll never be warm any more ,..a.I
And this nook, In its emptiness, seemeth to me
Two others have gone toward the setting sun,
And made their homes in its light,
And fairy fingers have taken their share,
q To mend by the freside bright
Some other basket their garments fill
But mine ! oh mine is emptier still.
Another-the dearest-the fairest-the best
Was taken by the angels away, A%9 -ll.t4".,i
And laid in garment that waxeth not old,
In land of continual day. .e.LE 4....s
Oh !! wonder no more at the dimmed-eye light,
While mend the one pair of stockings tonight.

Sensation Headings,

d" To prefix an appropriate heading to news
item, or an article, is one of the accomplishments
Of journalism, but some of our contemporaries
pile the agony'' on little too heavily, we
think, by occupying more space with their head
ings than with their news. They remind US of a
dandy, half whose height is made up Of stove
pipe hat and shirt-collar. For example, if our
contemporaries were to publish General Grants
4 last speech, made at Mrs. Douglas wedding, they
swould present it as follows: 'g fao .F..-a

BL4cEwooD AND the REVIEWS.


l.. ScorT & Co., of New York, have laid
English readers on his side Of the Atlantic
under great obligations, by their reprints of
Blackwood's Magazine, and of the four British
Reviews, at prices that bring them within
reach of most persons who desire to take them
notwithstanding that these publishers honora-
bly, pay a copyright to the British publishers,
which. of course adds largely to their cost.
There are now few educated persons, or even
persons who have in any way become interes-
ted in the numerous wonderful questions Of
this wonderful age, or in literature in general
who do not find it nesessary to take one or
more Of the great Reviews. To professional
men and intelligent men of business who have
not sufficient leisure to read even the best
books continually issuing from the press, the
Reviews are indispensable and at the same
time sufficient to impart comprehensive view
of the merits Of books. the nature and merits
of the questions and enterp rises of the day,
and of the intellectual state and progress OF
the times. Nearly every number of each Re-
view contains among its variety Of articles,
one or more articles Of very superior merit,
such as is more thanan equivalent for whole
years subscription.
The four Reviews re-published by Messrs.
Scoot q. Co., are generally considered as the
Great Reviews and Blackwood has been justly
placed in The same rank. Whoever dispenses
with reading publications of this class, what
ever may be his general information, will
soon be altogether behind the times in which
he lives-and in these times person may
soon get very far behind 4o,oato Guar.
