There's laugh that echoed Anna's
There's sigh that made me sad

A fond voice that made me glad.
There's face that will not leave me,
There's form will neer depart,
There's new bewildering gladness

Hide those eyes that search through doubt
Vain the darkes, storn-eloud lowers,
Striving to shut dayligh, ou,l

There's Wild bewildering madness

One Of our friends was recently
blessed with an addition to his house
hold, which came alike a thief in the
night" The next day the happy
fither tock his four-year-old boy to
the upper room TO see his little bro
ther, who was quietly enjoying his
first morning nap with his mouth
open. With eyes firmly fixed on the
new conner, and with a countenance
showing trouble within, after few
moments Of silence, the elder brother
defiantly exclaimed: II shoald like
to know who pulled out that baby's
teeth"

Two WAYS OF D0ISG A THING.
In the train from Harrisburg was a
gentleman Jack Tar In a go-ashore
outfit, jolly, gcntcel and happy, with
n decidedly pretty specimen of
eighteen year old crinoline, to whom
he had been a week spliced, aud was
conveying philadclphiaward. OPP
po-ite Jack and his wife were a cou-
pie that any onc could see were on q
honeymoon cruise, the bride all
bIushc-, beauty and bashfulncss, and
the gallant bridegroom all devotion
and cndcarmcnt. At one of the way
stations the cars stopped. and the
careful bridegroom thus addressed
his timid bride;
"My love, ! am about to step ont
for a few moments for refreshments.
DO not bc alarmed during my alb
scncc."
Gentleman Jack took the cue; and
patting his wife on the shoulder,
sung out, as if he were hauling the
maintopgallant-yard in a gale OF
wind:

wet my whistle; don't tumble over.

The Kentucky Court Of Appeals,
at Frankfort, has made an important
decision in regard to the stamp act.
The court recognizes the right Of the
General Government to raise n rev.
enue by means of stamps, but denies
that contracts made under State laws
are void in consequence Of the in
strumcnt Of contract not having been
properly stamped; yet allows that
Government has the right to inAict
penalties for the violation Of the
laws Of Congress. The decision says
there can be no implied power in
Congress to impair the legal obliga-
ton in contracts made in a State ac-
cording To her laws, deriving their
obligations from them and only re-
nediable by them. No private con-
tract or other writing is invalidated
By want Of a stamp, and that no
remedy upon it Is affected by like
cause.

A very laughablc incident occurred
at the first production of Daly's ver-
sion Of Griffith Gaunt," in the Bos-
ton Theater. The pig which did
duty in the fair scene, had evidently
slighted his rehearsals, and, instead
of restricting his performance to his
part, committed an unparalleled piece
of gag" Making sudden bolt
across the stage, he leaped into the
parquettc and carecred like n mad
beast among silks and crinoline. For
few minutes the scene was deli
ciously ludicrous; ladies screaming
and jumping on the seats, gentlemen
shouting and thrusting at poor piggy
with their canes, and the audience in
the parquette-circlc and elsewhere,
removed from the peril, laughing
with universal guilaw. The ushers
at last captured the fugitive, and re-
turned him to his habiiation behind
the scenes.

The bin entitled an " Act for the

States, was long and warmly diz-
cussed in the [. s. Senate on Satur-
day night, and at a few minutes after
six o'clock on Sunday morning, was
passed by a vote Of % to 10. The
preamble Of this bill declares that no
legal State governments or adequate
protection for life or proper exists in
the late rebel States, and that it IS
necessary that peace and good order
should be enforced until loyal and re-
publican State governments can be
legally established. The bill divides
the rebel States into five districts, as
u the Stevens bill. Section two
makes t the duty Of the President to
