TIE WIDOWS WEDDING RING

THE WIDOWS WEDDING RING.
Four years ago this very day,
with happy hearts and young,
Where ancient caves dropped DER the way
We passed, while joy bells rung;
NV sailor love had claimed bis bride
To share his future life,
We left the gray church side by side,
Fond husband-grateful wife,
But soon my sailor left his home,
Compelled by bitter fame to roam,
All me be sleeps meath oceans foam,
The glowing roseats hue OF hope
From my young heart has goneI
As ivy trails without prop,
So must creep alone;
look around the empty room,
Hot tear-drops burn my face;
Grim ruin rises from the gloom,
And fills each vacant place.
My child lies sick upon his bed,
NV spirit shrinks with lonely dread,
Great Master, better both were dead.
Hush, wild heart, hush, I must not sin,
However keen my griefi
Oh Father, save ere begin
To doubt thy sure relief.

It drives me almost wild;
What have left wherewith to buy
Food for my hungry child.
My husbands gift-my wedding ring,
The purest sweetest memories cling
Around the bright and precious thing.
And must ! sell IL Heart, be still,
Be still, oh throbbng brow
What gives my spirit such thrill'
1t cannot matter now.
Nv love will not be slow to greet
His wife beside Gods throne,
Although his marriage-token sweet
From her thin hand is gone.
Yes, when we meet beyond the sky,
Ny glance shall tell his plying eye,
Il could not let our darling die i"

United States 1t appeared to him that
that was q violation of good faith in
reference to that large class of people Of
the South who came within the terms OF
the amnesty proclamation of President
johnson. and who were thereby restored
to all their civil rights He asked Mr.
Stevens for an explanation on that point
Mr.. Stevens admitted that the pardon
exfinguished the crime; after pardon
there was no such crime in the individu
ais Those who were fully pardoned
did not come within the operation of the
third section,
Mr Blain understood, then, the gentle
man from Pennsylvania to say that
those who came within the terms of the
proclamation Of amnesty would not be
considered as having voluntarily ad-
hered to the late insurrection Mr.
Stevens assimilated their condition to
that of perssn convicted of felony, and
thereby rendered incompetent to testify,
but who, if pardoned, and if his testi-
mony were challenged, could produce
his pardon, thereby showing his COM
potency
Mr.. Blaine suggested that if that was
a proper construction to be given the
section, it should be so amended as that
there could be no question abont its
construction, and he should. at the prop
or time, move an amendment to that
effect

well taken, seemed to create consider
