A French saUan has been making some
new investigations in one of the Communes
as to the effect of consanguineous marriages
in producing disease and idiocy in the oil
spring His researches were in IL locality
which furnished Il large opportunity for OBJ
servation, and he minutely Investigated the
history and circumstances Of forty families
resulting from such marriages. lie has pre-
pared tables to show that neither vices of
conformation, insanity, ilipcy, cretinism,
deaf-muteness nor epilepsy existed among
any of these families and he has come to
the conclusion that the dangers Of consan-
guine marriages result from an intensitica-
tion of any morbid hereditary tendencies
that may exist in each parent, while, if each
be perfectly healthy, the fact Of consangu-
nifty counts for nothing The subject is
one regarding which our knowledge is very
imperfect, and in which anything like scien-
tific investigation is very limited. Though
of great Importance TO the human race, il is
moreover a subject about which accurate
data are exceedingly difficult of collection.
1t is always safe, however. to follow the old
injunction that Il ''man should not marry his
grandmother"

What L Love.

what Love.
| love the merry sunshine
That tints the eastern hills,
1t caps with brightness ocean waves,
1t sparkles on the rils.
On the tiny leaf,
And the golden sheaf.
1t plays;
And lays
Of beautiful birds,
And lowing of herds,
Their morning songs chime,
As they welcome with pleasure, the merry sun
shine.
love the little songsters
That warblc in the grove,
Loving all the songs they sing,
For all their songs are love.
In their little nests,
Many peaceful breasts.
Calm, rest,
How blest.
No muimurngs heard,
But the trill of the bird,
So sweet and clear,
Should teach us poor mortals to trust God while
here.
love the little yiolets
That blossom in the dell,
Beautiful and pure, they must
To us of virtue tell.
Tho with beauty they re lade,
Tho they bloom, they will fade,
And die.
Flourish at morn
Like the flower just born
Then withcr at eve;
The future is given, the present leave.
love the gentle zephyrs
That play among the trees
They sweep with music natures harp
Floating on tic breeze.
On the wcaried ear
Coming soft and clear,
They break,
And wake
The gcntlest thrill
That nature could trill--
This soft gentle breeze,
As 1t tinkles the leaves, when it plays thro' the
trees.
love the pearly rain drops
Pattering on the roofs,
troop of pleasures coming
With little fairy hoofs,
Welcome gentle rain
To The earth again
Rain drops
Pearl drops.
Coming SO tcndcrly,
Cloud-drippings pure and free,
pattrings Of love,
Asye come to the caith from the fountain above.
love the little spanglcs,
Der all the robe of sky;
Set with Fathers watch care,
To shine up there, SO high.
With pure loving light,
Watchings thro the night.
Ye keep
While sleep
With slumberings soft
Our eyelids bind oft,
"Thou'rt near, yet SO far,'
love thee, love thee, thou beautiful star.
love the purling brooklct,
Rippling and dancing along
Its waves kiss each other in gadness,
And warble n sweet liquid song
Ye fleet racing rills,
Thro' wales, down the hills;
Prancing,
Dancing,
With light elin feet,
Ye laugh when ye meet.

Emblem of sweet rest;
Remaining for the loved of God,
When gathered with the blest.

In the grave He lay
Arisen to-day;
Assembled on high,

A LITERARY TAsTE.-To Young man
away from home, lrendless and iorloln in
great city, the hours of peril are those be-
tween sunset and bedtime; for the moon and
stars see more evil in n single hour than the
sun in his whole days circuit. The poets
visions Of evening are all compact Of tender
and soothing images. II brings the wanderer
to his home, the child to its mothers arms,
the OK to his stall, and the weary laborer to
his rest. But to the gcntlc-hearted youth
who is thrown upon the rocks Of pitiless
city, and 'stands homeless amid thousand
homes, approach of evening brings with it
an aching sense of loneliness and desola-
ton, which come down upon the spirit like
darkness upon the earth. III this mood his
impulses become snare to him and he is led
astray because he is social, allcciionate,
sympathetic and warm-hearted If there
be a young man thus circunstanced, who
may read these words, let me say TO him
that books are the friends of the ii'iendless
and that library is the home of the home
less. A taste for reading will always carry
you to co verse with men who will instruct
you by their wisdom and charm you by their
wit, who will sootlie you when i'retted, re-
fresh You when weary, counsel you when
perpeAcd and sYmpatlzc with you at all
times. Evil spirits. in the middle age, were
exercised and driven away by bell, book and
candle You want but two Of those agents,
the book and the candle.

The Policy OF Virginia.

| OF the policy of the State of Vir-
ginia npon the Congressional plan of
reconstruction, and of the present
interest it is exciting in that Com
monwealth, the DiSpat>'h says:
When the veto is sent in, and the
Sherman bill is passed, the question
of the policy of this State will be
brought fully in front of US. There
will be no disposition to retreat from
or evade it. The Senate has already
had it under consideration in secret
session. The occasion for the hold
ing of this secret deliberation was the
receipt of several telegraph messages
from members of Congress, in reply
to one sent to them by Gov. Pier
pont, propounding the question whc
ther, if Virginia now adopted the con
stltutional amendment, she wou,i De
relieved Of the Sherman bill l'hay
were Messrs. Reverdy johnson and
Fessenden, OF the Senate, and Messrs.
Spaulding and Bingham, of the
House. All, save Mr.. Bingham, re-
piled by telegraph, and he wrote a
letter. All, save Mir. johnson, re-
spondcd in the negative. Mr.. Spald-
ing said it was too late Mr.. John
son was in doubt, but thought the
adoption Of the amendment 'swoull
do great deal Of good" Mr.. Bing-
ham wrote very earnest letter, urg-
ing the earliest action upon the Sher-
man bill, the adoption of all the
constitutional amendments required
by 1t, and giving the most earnest as
snrances that, when that was done,
Virginia would be welcomed back to
the Union by the Congress and The
Northern people, who were anxious
to see her restored to her place among
the States.
The Senate did not go into secret
session for the purpose of Immediate,
action. but merely to interch; ye
views IN reference to the general vel
fare. III the event of certain contin-
gencies. Had Gov Pierpont, how
ever, gotten q different answer, and
one that was concurred in by the
radical party, we need not say that
the Legislature would have promptly
adopted the amendment.
The Washington .Sidr gives an i'm
probable story, to the effect that the
secret meetings of the Virginia Sc
nate eliminated in the determination
OF an overwhelming majority OF both
branches Of the Legislature, now
assembled at Richmond, to accept
''the situation fully, frankly. and
with alacrity, and have Il State con
vention for the purpose OF immediate
organization under the Congressional
bill. The election for members of
this convention would be held in

wish it were otherwise. England is striv-
Ing to govern Ireland by system of afro
-eious oppression. She subjects people in
Ireland to despotic rule that she will not
tolerate in England John Bright may
inaugurate revolution on grand scale IN
England, and the Government will not dare
to meddle with him. If Irishmen combine
in Ireland, the English Government takes
another course. 1t says they are "mere
Irish," and so not fit to be dealt with as the
government deals with Englishmen
Out on such outrages on human justice!
The English Government tries, or pretends
to try, to incorporate Ireland into homo
genous empire with the English, and vet
refuses tae Irish people real equality before
the laws. Hebeds corpus is to be respected
in England, it is to be treated as a sham
in Ireland. 1t is the verv same old game
that New England is trying to play with
our Southern States. We are for the op-
pressed, everywhere. Be it by Fenians.. ..r
bv any other class of Irishmen, we would
exult in the Liberation of Ireland from Eng
lish ;hraldom. But it Is so perfectly GER

of March 7th, that fight took place at Tai

have been much of fight. Again.at Kill

Station, and were scattered, thirty of them
slaughtered, and fourteen taken prisoners.
In Tipperary there is great excitement
General Gleeson is there"-but we hap

We do not like to report dispatches that

people, goaded by persecution, are on the
point OF revolution, and want but the rea
sonable chance to engage in it. That chance
they have not got-and the more the pity
