For the Advertiser
A Memory Rare.

EOE ene AOFSEblssE
A Memory Rare.
Out from the depths Of the faded years
Irescue gem of that BY gone time,
A memory rare-that with hallowed care
weave in q string of golden rhyme.
A room in farm house, large and old
Where the Angel, Death seemed to hover awhile,
Two watchers pale, heard the fain low wall
From the suffering couch Of little child.
The midnight waned, and the angel passed
And the child was lulled in sweet repose.
And there by the light, in the still midnight
They sat til the beautiful morning rose.
One sweet watcher, was a maiden fair
Whose soul till the glorious stars shall SET
Till dies the light, in the last midnight
My heart can neverI no never forget
We strung sweet stories in happy verse
For her soul with treasured gems was rife
Like fairhcwers pressed, on a snow white breast
I saw the bloom of beautiful life.
The midnight waned, and the morning broke
And wrapping our forms from the chilly air
We stole away, in the early grey
/, and the maiden, so sweet and fair.
The dawn crept faint from the hills afar,
And the stars in their beauty softly set
1t was early spring, of the time sing,
And the flowers with tender dew we're wet
A belt Of woodland skirted the field,
The spring was white with dash of bloom
From the wild plum trees and the wandering breeze
Was heavy with wealth of sweet perfume.
The wild plum blossoms scented the earth,
The vic let blOomed in the sleepy dell,
As WraPt,we stood, in the slumbering wood
While morn from the beautiful universe fell.
We culled some blooms from the wild plum tree
And come fresh viOlets, deep and blRs,
Then turned again, to the couch of pain
and the maiden VIII ose soul knew.
o Wandring breeze, o sweet perfume
WOO ye now Ger the lapse of years,
And the memory rare, Of the maiden fair
Grows bright and fresh, with the rain Of tears
And this is why from the faded years
rescue gem ef that by gone time
A memory rvre. that with haIlowed care
weave in a string of golden rhyme.

Bureau bill
To the Senate of the United States
l have examined with care the bill
which originated in the Senate and has
been passed by both Houses OF Congress,
to amend an act entitled an act to estab.
lish bureau for the relief of freedmen
and refugees, and for other purposes
Having with much regret come to the
conclusion that it would not be consist
ent with the public welfare to give my
approval to the measure, / return the
bill to the Senate, with my objections to
Its becoming law. l might call to
mind, that there is no immediate neces-
SHY for the proposed measure. The act
to establish a bureau for the relief of
freedmen and refugees, which was ap.
proved in the month of March last, has
not yet expired. 1t was thought strin-
gent and extensive enough for the pur-
pose in view. Before it ceases to have
effect, further experience may assist to
guide US to wise conclusions as to the
policy to be adopted in time of peace
/ have, with Congress, the strongest de-
sire to secure to freedmen the full enjoy.
ment of their freedom and their proper
Iy, and their entire independence and
equality in making contracts for their Ia
Dor, but the bill before me contains pro-
visions which, in my opinion, are not
warranted by the Constitution, and are
not well suited to accomplish the end in
view. The bill proposes to establish, by
authority of Congress, military jurisdic-
tiOn over all parts of the United States
containing refugees and freedmen. 1t
would by its very nature apply with more
force in those parts of the United States
in which the freedmen most abound, and
it expressly extends the EXISTING tempo
rary jurisdiction of the Fieedmen's Blu.
reau, with greatly enlarged powers over
those States in which the ordinary course
of judicial proceedings has been inter-
rupted by the rebellion. The source
from which this military jurisdiction is tC
eminate Is none other than the Presi-
of the United States, acting through the
War Department and the Commissioner
of the Freedmen's Bureaus. The agents
to carry out this military jurisdiction are
to be selected either from the army OF
