OVER THE RIVER.

2 Over the River they beckon to me,
Loved ones who've passed to the other side;
The gleam Of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are lost In the dashtng TIDE.
There's one with Itnglets Of sunny gold, ,
And ewes the reflection of Heavens own blue !;
He crossed In the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view.
We saw not the angels who met him there,
The gates Of the City we could not see
Over the River, over the River,
My brother stands ready to welcome me.
Over the River the Boaman pale,
Carried ano:her-the household pet;
Her bright curis waved In the gentle gale
Darling Minnie, / see her yet!
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And feariessly entered the phantom oarki
We watched II slide from the silver SANDS,
And an our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know she Is safe on the other side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the River, the mystic River,
My childhood's idols are waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the Boatnan cold and pale;
We hear the dip Of the golden oars,
We catch gleam Of the snowy sail,
And 10, they have passed from our heart;
They cross the stream and are gone Tor aye!
We cannot sunder the veil apart,
That hides from our vision the gates Of day;
We only know that their barks no more
Shall safi with ours on life's stormy sea;
Yet somehow hope on the unseen shore,
They witch and beckon and walt Tor me.
And I sit and think when the sunsets gold
- Is flushing river and hill and shore;
shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list TO the sound Of the Boatman's oar;
4 shall watch for the gleam Of his tapping sail,
shall hear the boar as II gains the strand,
/ shall pass from sight with the Boatman pale
srs- ~. ,ho of 70 Shirt I.qndt
shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joyfally sweet will the meeting be
When over the River, the peaceful River,
The Angel Of Death shall carry me!

THE CoLLlERY EXPLOSION IN ENG
LASD.-Reports Of the recent colliery
explosion at Barrisley, York county
England, shows it to have been a most
horrible affair. The pit where the
explosion occurred was two hundred
and fifty yards in depth with lateral
excavations for nearly two miles
Three hundred persons were in the
mine at the time, nearly all Of whom
were killed. Forty dead bodies have
been counted within a space Of 40
feet \ few sufferers were rescued
in shocking state Of mutilatIon, and
there is no hope that any more can
be gotten out alive.
Eighty dead bodies had Been taken
out when a second explosion occurred.
and 80 or 40 persons engaged in find
ing and drawing out the dead were
killed. There was the most intense
and painful excitement throughout
the neighborhood of the disaster.

4 Step Forward.

During the last session of Congress
the House of Representative passed
bill granting the right of suffrage to
colored men IN the District of Colun-
bia. This bill went to the Senate
but was not acted upon By that body,
evidently for the reason that it was
we'll understood that it would not be
approved by the President, and It was
not believed there was backbone
enough in the Senate to pass it over
veto. The present session, how
ever, though composed of the same
members, of the last, appears less
fearful Of vetoes, and the bill alluded
to has been brought forward, slightly
amended and passed by more than a
two-thirds vote. The House has con.
CURED in the amendments, and the
bill gone to the President, who will
undoubtedly return it with his obiec-
tions, but We believe the bill VIII be
passed over the veto, and become a
law.
We are glad to see that Congress
manifests a disposition TO DO what it
considers duty, even though it may
conflict with the views Of Andy John.
son, the Southern rebels, and North
eEn copperheads.
Mr.. Doolittle who has boasted SC
often of his advocacy OF universal
suffrage, voted against the bill.
