There is q beautiful song on theslumbrous air
That drifts through the valley of dreams,
1t comes from a clime where the roses were,
And tuneful heart, and bright brown hair
That waved In the morning beams.
Soft eyes of azure and eyes of brown,
And snow white foreheads are there:
A glimmering Cross and a glittering Crown,
A thorny bead and a couch of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets Of prayer.
A rosy wreath In dimpled hand.
A ring and q slighted VOW
Three golden links of q broken band,
tiny track on the snow-white sand,
A tear and q sinless brow.
There's q tincture Of grief I'm the beautiful song
That sobs on the slumbrous air,
And lonliness felt I'm the festive tnrong,
Sinks down In the soul an 10 trembles along
From CLINE whore the roses were,
Wo heard it first at the dawn Of day.
And IL mingled with matin chimes,
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody howeth from far away,
And We call Il, now. Old zymss.

Benia,nin wade.

This staunch old patriot, commonly
called "old Ben. Wade" now acting
Vice Presidedt Of the United States, and
President of the Senate, is one OF the
men that the American people may
Justly feel proud Of. Wepublish below
q bit of his history:
"Hon. Benjamin Franklin Wade, u.
s. Senator fIom Ohio, was born in
Springfield, Mass, Oct. %, 1900. His
father was a soldier In the Revolution
ary war. Being poor, his early educa-
tion was obtained for the most part in
the common schools during the Winter
the Summers of his youth being usual
ly spent on farm or in cutting timber.
In 1925 he began to study, for the legal
profession, and In 1922 was admitted to
the bar in Ashtabula county, Ohio,
where he has ever since resided. In
1885 he was elected prosecuting attor-
ney Of that county, and in 1887 he was
elected to the Senate Of Ohio, to which
he was twice reelected. In 1S47 he
ing judge of the third judicial district
of the State, and in 1851 he was elected
a member of the us. Senate, to which
body he was again returned in 1857.
In theSenate Mr.. Wade has been prom
inent as leader, first of the anti-slave-
ry Wings, and afterwards of the Re-
publicans. In 1852 he voted with only
five other Senators, to repeal the fugi-
tive Slave Law he also spoke and vot-
ed against Mr.. Douglas bill to abrogate
the Missouri Compromise; against the
Lecompton Constitution for Kansas in
1858; against Mr.. Slidell's bill for APP
propriating $50, 600, 900 for the acquisi-
ton of Cuba; and against all schemes
of compromise between the North and
South, propounded after Mr.. Lincoln's
election. The Homestead Bill, making
a free grant of 180 acres of public land
to every actual settler, he advocated for
years, and It was i'm his charge when it
finally passed the Senate, in 1862. He
has always voted on every measure for
the protection of American industry:
he supported the Agricultural College
bill, as well as the Pacific Railroad bill.
He also favored the discontinuance Of
West Point as military academy, on
the ground that IL Is essentially aristo-
cratic, anomalous, and impolitic. In
the very outbreak of the war, Mr..
Wade advocated its vigorous prosecu-
tion by the Government. On the OPEN
ing of the Thirty Congress he
became Chairman of the Joint Com
mittee on the conduct of the war, ap.
pointed by the two Houses, and also
took an active part in urging the enact
ment of law providing for the confis-
cation of all the property Of leading
rebels, and for emancipation of their
slaves, He spoke and voted for the
bill making Treasury notes legal ten
der, for the bills abolishing slavery,
and for the so-called black laws of the
District Of Columbia. AS chairman of
the Territoi ial Committee, he reported
a bill, in 1869, abolishing slavery in all
the territories of the Government, and
1t in any way that may
hereafter be acquired. Mr.. Wade has
always insisted on the utmost economy
being exercised in the public expendi.
lures; and in holding officials TO a
strict accountability. He Is now one of
the oldest, ablest, and most respected
members of the United States Senate"

A cRIMEAN INCIDENT.

"Give us a song!n the soldiers cried.
The outer trenches guarding,
Grew weary OF bombarding.
The dark Redan in silent scoff.
Lay grim and threatening under,
AND the tawny mound of the Malakoff
NO longer belched its thunder.
There was pause. The guardsman said.
We storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may; another day
VIII bring enough OF sorrow"
They lay along the battery side,
:. Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde.
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang Of love, and not Of fame,
Forgot was Britan's glory.
Each heart recalled q different name,
But all sang annie Laurie"
Voice sice,s after e. voice caught up the song,
Hose like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dare not speak,
Yet as the song grew louder,
something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains Of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers;
While the Crimean vallies learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fire Of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters:
with scream of shot and burst of she'll,
And believing Of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For singer dumb and CORY:
And English Mary mourns for him
VINO sang of Annie Laurie"
All, soldiers to your honored rest,
Your truth and valor bearing:
The bravest and the tenderest-
The loving and the daring!

Advice to Young Ladies'.

The Cincinnati Commercial devotes a
column editorial to . consideration Of
the fact, that large numbers of young
men, i'm all our American cities, are
deferred from engaging In matrimonial
alliances, by u consciousness OF inabili-
ty to support a wife and family in the
ruling style Of extravagance, and closes
its article thus:
"Iet marriageable ladies, therefore,
If they do not aspire to perpetual single
blessedness, emancipate themselves
from the slavery Of Fashion, and there
by reduce their bill Of costs in the mat
rimonial suit, and swell the ranks Of
their suitors. We do not want to see
our beauties dress in sackcloth, but we
would have them cherish the whole

refined accomplishments, softening
infiuences--which charm and attract
the sterner sex toward them. The ex-
pensive elegance and gorgeous nlagnifi-
cence of their dress and surroundings
may excite momentary admiration,
and enhance the enchantnnent which
their presence exerts. But these costly
luxurles will surely awaken heartless
calculations of dollars and cents, and
enable filthy lucre to drive away hosts
Of deyotecs from the shrine OF love-

BEECHER VS.. BALLoU.-We seldom
find in religious controversy anything
more spicy than the following:
Once upon a-time, says the narrator,

to compare Caivinism and Universal

textual missiles. After several apostol-
ic blows from each, shrewdly parried
by the other, DR.. Beecher opened to the

"A Grand Old Man.

There's no use in denying it,u said
a copperhead, when old Thad. Stevens
sat down after his appeal to the House
to pass the military bill, she's grand
old man ~
And so he is. IF he had never said
anything else in all his life but what
he said in his closing speech, on the
military bill, on Wednesday last, it
would be enough to earn for him new
er dying fame as statesman and par
liamentary orator.
We are familiar with the utterances
OF the greatest orators of ancient and
modern times, whose speeches have
been preserved, and we do not hesitate
to rank the '.grand old mans" effort of
Wednesday last on the military bill as
SURPRISING the best parliamentary
speeches extant. Remember, Mr..
Thaddeus Stevens is now an octogena-
rian, or on the verge of four score years,
and eloquence drops from the lips OF

is kindied anew, he is suddenly trans

United States has been sitting nearly

thousands and thousands. The "grand

ears of his listeners, and they shrink
away In horror from their criminal

burning Of the Llndell Hotel.

The LindelI hotel, the largest build
ing of its kind on this continent, If no
i'm the world, was totally destroyed b,
| fire March Goth. There Is a great dea
of mystery about the origin of the fire
| but the most reliable accounts are tina
| Ii broke out in one Of the west from
rooms I'm the fifth story, about hal
past eight o'clock, but the alarm wa
not sounded till after o'clock. A
this time the fire was confined to til,
rooms on that floor, but owing to th,
extreme height of the building ther,
was great difficulty In reaching the fir,
with the hose. The fire gradually as
cended till 1t broke out through the
sixth and seventh stories, and reached
the roof near the northwest corner o
the building.
From this point the fire rapidly ex
tended, underneath the roof, TO tht
East 9th st. front, and then moved rap
idly downward till the whole structure
was enveloped in flames.
Up to the time that the fire spread
across the building, Ii was the general
belief that the lower part of the hote
would be saved but as soon as the
flames reached the elevators and inner
courts, up and through which are
strong currents of air, the fire received
new and powerful impetus, and all hope
of staying the devouring element was
lost. The efforts of the firemen were
not relaxed, however, and the full force
of the fire department was put forth
until 3 o'clock, at which time all the
inner work was consumed and a coE-
siderable portion of the walls had fall
len, and what was once the stateliest,
n.fi nots hau of hot al
I'm the country was mass of crumbling,
blackened ruins.
The building was owned by the estate
of Henry Ames & Co., Edward Ames
being representative of the property.
Its original cost was little over $780,
900, and was bought by hmes Il Co., in
December, 1863. Two mouths after 1t
opened for $373, 900. The insurance on
the hotel amounts to $4,000, $40, ,000
to $50, 900 of which Is In eastern compa.

Philadelphia.
The lessees were Hatch, Wearer &
Felt, whose loss on furniture and
stores il $500, 900, are insured for $780,.
900; but little Of the furniture was
saved.
There were about 400 guests in the
hotel, large number of whom consis
ted OF families. The latter lost most q
their personal effects, owing to the con
fusion and excitement prevailing, ant
the disbelief that the house would bs
destroyed, until 1t was too late to re
move them. The loss from this sourcs
probably reached 100000. The goods
In stores underneath the hotel were
almost totally destroyed, although there
was abundant time to save them. TIL,
loss Is probably $4,000. The total loss
by the disaster can scarcely be less thar
$i 900 900. A list of losing companies
will be given as soon as obtained. This
fire was seen the distance Of ~ miles
from the city.
