POETICAL.
Ask Ne Not TO Drink.

Fair lady. ask me not % drink
A toast 70 thee tonight;
For broken vows and blasted hopes
Expose the demons blight.
Put back the wine-l dare not taste
Put back the sparkling bowl;
For who hath qualed a draught 50 deep,
And reached a blisstul goal
Oh ask me not, there lies within
4 poison deep and dire!
And every drop but serves the more
To fan the latent tire.
Each draught will qucnch my sense Of guilt,
And blast youths budding hopes
Each drop viii sink me deeper st,ll,
In moral night to grope.
Obi press me not to touch the cup,
Within are glariug eyes,
And starving widows, hungry babes,
And freezing orphans cries.
Whom the gods destroy they first make drums
Then ask me not 90 drink;
Oh, tempt me not, but spare my soul
From deaths eternal brink.
have three sisters, mildly fair,
Like angels round my way;
Whose love Is like the stars that shine
With undiminished raw;
Shall they be doomed tosco me fall
4 prey 10 maddening drink
And sundersd be the love that binds
Or snapt the golden link?
Another sleeps whore sadly wave
The willows in the vale;
And midnight whispers from the sky,
Come on the signing gales
She passed away as summers breath,
In liie's ircipient blooms
Then tempt me mot; would not mar
Her slumbers in the tomb.

Gems.

Be not content with high Fesolyes,-rather
be content with little doing
There is no substitute for thorough-going,
ardent and sincere earestuess.
As long as you live, seek to learn: d. not
presume that old age wiil bring wisdom.
Labor TO keep alive In your breast that little
spark Of fcelesta fire called love.
Love reposes in the depths Of a pure soul, as
the drop Of dew in the calyx Of a flower.
It IS not the gold or the diamonds about 4
watch that keeps time.
! don't care is voracious bIood-sucker on
the happiness Of thousands.
The winning post in the rare Of lie is a slab
Of white or gray stone, standing out from thas
turf where there is no more jockeying.

Senate Finance committee on the House

NaturaIized Citizens.
Judge Orth, of Indiana, member of the
House committee on Foreign Affairs, has
submitted to that body a proposition re-
garding the position of this Government
in fhe~ status OF our naturaliZed citizen,
which embraces the following points:
1st. This Government does not and will
not recognize the doctrine of natural aile-
glance ssEsEz 1zEFFs' = % , IS ,gE
81. That person of foreign birth, nat
uralized according to our laws, acquires
all the rights and privileges OF a native
born citizen, except such as are denied by
the Constitution in prescribing the qualiti-
cations for President and Vice President.
Sd. The United States owes the same
protection to its naturalized citizens as to
its native-born.
The Alaska Treaty.
The committee on Foreign Affairs will
be prepared to report the Alaska appro-
priation treaty back to the House, on
Thursday next. when it will probably pass

consideration to-day the bill repeating the
cotton tax. The adyisabllity of eXempting
the present crop was discussed at great
length, but though portion of the com
mittee was in favor of that proposition it is
understood that the bill will be reported
substantially as it passed the House.
Revision of the Consular and Diplo-
matte System.
Senator Patterson, of New Hampshire, is
preparing arbill looking to q complete re-
vision of the present CONSULAR and idiplo-
matte system, with a view to retrenchment,
and consequently an abolishment of many
of the present appointments. 1t is under
stood that he will recommend some radical
and sweeping changes in the service, par
ticularly in South America.
Senator Morrill, will also introduce a bill
on the same subject at an early day.
Treaties.
1t is understood that the Senate commit
tee on Foreign Relations has considered
and will report the following treaties at an
early day: Japan, Sandwich Islands, Ven=
Zuela and Madagascar.sThe recent treaty
with the King of Denmark for the purchase
of the Islands of st. Thomas and st. John
