A MOTHER prAy OF RECONSTRUCTION.

ANOTHER PLAN OF RECONSTRUCTION.
SENATOR Lane, Of IndiSna,s has the
credit of suggesting az: original plan Of
reconstruction. In his speech, on the
18th inst. ho said; ..:."n:2 gYsf
Tho power Of the President over the
rebel States ceased with the conveplng
Of Congress, and it'wa, for the Congress
of, the, United States to fix tho status OF
the seeded States. He would wait un'
til the last trumpet sounded the rebels
ito Judgment before ho would ADMIT tnem
n those halls, He did not know that
the emencipased slaves were tit to vote
bn. thew vtro quite as fit foris as the
rebels His plan of reconstruction would
be to pass an amendment to tho Consti.
tuition, that after one, two or five years
every mau who can read the Constitu.
ton OF the United States shall vote. He
would disfranchise the rebels for the
same space of time, and when he admit.
ted them to vote again he would let the
negroes vote with them. We were not
ready for restoration upon either rebel
votes or colored votes. 1t was the duty
Of Congress and not the President, to
present plan Of reconstruction TO the
country. 1t vas the duty Of the United
States to see that every State had re-
publican form Of government.

Better Than Gold.

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
TLan rank and titles q thousand fold
Is healthy body, q mind at case.
And simple pleasures that always pleasc;'
A heart that can feel for anoshcrs woe,
And share his joys with a genial glow.
With sympathies large enough to enlold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is conscience clear
Though toiling for bread in an humble sphere,
Doub!y blest with content and health,
Untried by the lust or cares Of wealth;
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and cancb!c poor man's cot.
For mind and morals in natures plan
care the genuine test ola gentleman.
Better than gold i, TIE swce: reEoso
or the sons Of toll when their laborS close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on ms s!9mocrs
deep;
Bring sleeping draushts to the dowry bed
Where luxury pillows his aching head
His simple opiate labor deems
A shorter road 10 the Land 0! dreams.
Better than gold is . thinking mind,
That in the realm OF books can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good o:yora.
The sagc's lord, ana the poets lay,
The glories Of empire passed away,
The Worlds r-cat drama will thus unfold,
And yieid pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is peaceful home.
Where all the iirc>idc charities come,
The shrine Of love. the hcarcn Ollie,

However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought or SOLO,
And centre there, arc better than gold.
