News from New Work

NEW YORK, May 26-The Times
Washington special says: In the cau-
Gus yesterday of the Republican men,
bers of the Senate, a general and very
free interchange of views was had upon
the reconstruction question. 1t was
agreed that the DISTINGUISHING section
should be rejected and the balance OF
the proposition amended to the Consti.
tuition adopted. Upon the matter OF
confirmation or rejection OF the Presl-
Dental appointments the most radical
argued that it would be ruinous to carry
on the warfare already inaugurated in
the executive session and that if the
Senate persisted In rejecting good men
whose record for loyalty and integrity
was unimpeachGd, the Republican party
would be weakened if not entirely de-
stroyed. This view of the matter seem
ed to have the preponderauce but final
action was not taken.
The Tribune's special says the subject
of an adjournment or recess was taken
up, and after considerable discussion it
was deemed best to continue in session
until about tho middle of July, when,
unless something is developed, not now
anticipated, an adjournment viii be
acted on.
The constitutional amendments were
taken up and discussed at length. The
third section may be amended or some
what modified or strengthened, or propo
sitions may be substituted for disfran'
chising forever certain classes of rebels,
or forbidding them from ever holding any
tofa

AN OLD MANS IDYI.

By the waters Of Life we sat together,
Hand in hand in the golen days
OF the beautiful early summer weather,
When the skies were purple and breath was
praise
When the hea, kept tune TO the carol of birds,
And the birds Kept tune to the songs which
ran
Through shimmer Of flowers ON grassy swards,
And trees With voices Eclian.
By the rivers of Life we walked together
j and my darling, unafraid
And lighter than any linnets feather
The burdens OF Being on Us weighed.
And Loves sw set miracles Ger US threw
Mantles oil Joy Outlasting time,
And up from the rosy morr0ws grew
sound that seemed like marriage chime.
In the garden of Life we strayed together
And the luscious apples were ripe and red,
And the langud lllac and boneyed heather
Swooned with the fragrance which they shed
And under the trees the angels walked,
And up in the air sense of wings
Awed us tenderly while we talked
softly in sacred communings
In the meadows of Life we strayed together,
Watching tho waving haIvests grow;
And under the benson Of the Father
Our hearts like the lamb, skipped TO and fro.
And the cOwslips hearing our low replies,
Rr0idered fairer the emerald banks
And glad tears shOnes in the daisies eyes,
And the timid violet glistened thanks.
Who was with US, and what was round us,
Neither myself nor my daring guessed
Only we knew that something crowned US
Out from the heavens with crowns of rest
Only we knew that something bright
fingered lovingly where We stood,
Clothed with the incandesceEt light
OF something higher than humanhood.
o, the riches love doth inherit
All, the alchemy which doth change
Dross of body and dregs Of spirit
Into sanctities rare and strange.
MY flesh is feeble and dry, and old,
Ny daIling's beautiful hyir sgray:
But our elixir and precigsAS%~d
Laugh at the footstePsof decay r-
Harms of the world have come unto Hs,
Cups of sorrow we yet shall drain;
But we have a secret which doth show us
Wonderful rainbows in the rain.
And we hear the tread of the years move by,
And the sun is setting behind the bills
But my darling does not fear to die,
And l am happy in what God wills.
SO wo cit by our household fires together
Dreaming the dreams of long ago,
Then it was bdlmy summer weather,
And now the valleys are laid in snow.
Icices hang from the slippery caves;
The wind blows cold-'ti5 growing late
Well, we'll We have gaTnered all our sheaves
and my darling, and we wait

Thin and Thick Seeding,

Farmers differ widely in their views
respecting the quantity of grain that
should be sown Oh a given measure of
land One farmer, and successful one,
too, sows broadcast two bushels of
wheat, and thinks it none too much.
His neighbor in the same manner sOws
but one bushel, or, at most, one and one
quarter. 1t has been said that on very
rich soil thin seeding will DO but on
IMPOVERISHED land more seed is required
All observation proves that thick SOW

IiGhter straw than thin sowing; and no
one can doubt that we can SOW too much
seed as we'll as too little Mr. J. J. Mechi
is an advocate of thin sowing; and he
has been making some interesting ex-
neriments with wheat In n recent pub
